[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] shaunydub:
Hi all,

Now the warmer days are coming I am once again walking to work and notice some unusual bluetooth behaviour.

If I walk with P9 in my front jeans pocket there is a very bad connection and breaking up of the signal sometimes it it is 10 second breaks in the music.

If I hold the phone in my hand when I walk which is a greater distance away from the headphones the signal is improved and solid.

If I put the phone in my laptop bag at approximate same distance the connection is also improved and rock solid.

So please can anyone help me to understand this weirdness, I never experienced such an issue before.

If I experiment at home of in the gym or office leaving my phone somewhere stationary the connection is awesome for quite a long distance so I am bamboozled.

Hello all!

This morning I updated Magisk Manager.

Once updated (or perhaps only downloaded update) the app prompted a reboot.

I rebooted and ended up in TWRP.

But I did not know what to do in TWRP so I rebooted system...

However, now the phone cannot boot and after one try it reboots into TWRP again.

PLEASE HELP ME!

I need my phone for work! Like now-now! :silly: :eek: :crying:

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Well, that rabbit went into quite the hole... hehe ;)

However, at the other end was a person who restored an old backup to revert this problem... And I -MAYBE- have an old backup on my external hdd, but won't that wipe all data that has been written to my phone since that "MAYBE" backup?

The other suggestion was wiping my MISC-partition using commands through ADB - something I have no clue how to setup and/or execute.

Still, thank you so much for your effort!

Reading all of this made me remember that one time I spaced out and tried to install an official firmware update upon release and prompt, which lead to the same issue. I could then just reinstall an older raw firmware version, which left all my files and data intact. Hopefully this will work here too.

BUT... It still feels very risky. If anyone out there has any sure-fire solution to this update Magisk Manager through the built-in updater no-boot issue, then please feel free to let me know - I would be forever in your debt
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbo111:
The best surefire solution is just don't. And BTW always backup before you flash anything in twrp.

I love what you did there! Lol
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
I didn't flash anything in twrp. If you're gonna reply at least read the post. Also, none of what you wrote is a solution, unless you're in possession of a time machine. I'll keep it in mind for the next time though (of which there won't be one). Thanks, captain hindsight.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbo111:
That's what the update does. Reboots to twrp and installs the download. Maybe you should know what you're doing before you snap at us.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magister54:
No, just restore the boot partition (16MB).

I learnt the hard way about backup, when years ago I didn't make one for my Galaxy S2 and lost everything (pictures, etc). Now after installing TWRP I always do a backup...

You should be able to reflash your boot partition with a fastboot command like "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (people with more knowledge than me can help you)

EDIT: the problem is that our Zenfone2 needs a signature for the boot partition, this is why we have a special Magisk installer that just add the signature to the image. The automatic update installer of Magisk has no clue about this, me and a few others here made the same mistake as you when Magisk popup "I have an update!" and we clicked "Install"...

All your data and app are still there, do not worry, no need to wipe anything, just reflash a signed boot.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Look... I am sorry if I "snapped" as you put it... But let's make one thing clear - I snapped at YOU; there is no "us" in this case, as you tried to skew it. Don't lump yourself together with these other helpful people, because so far you have nothing in common to me. If I were looking for someone to go "Hey, I got a solution - you know that thing you did? - Don't do it again!" I'd just go stand on the street corner with a sign asking for someone to slap my face.

As for your principal of don't do things if your not sure of how they work, I am totally behind that. But it has NOTHING to offer here as we are past that point. A broad comparison would be like "a solution to world hunger = eat food" ("but we don't have any food!" "you should have thought of that before you started starving now shouldn't you...?!").

In your defense, I guess you really believe you are trying to help. But compare your comment to the other ones posted and it is quickly clear that you are not. However, YOU ARE RIGHT, I should've known better and shouldn't do it again. And obviously I am enerved at this situation, but equally obvious (now) is that what you wrote is NOT "the best sure-fire solution" as what was posted afterward seems at least 100% (would have been more if possible) more applicable to my issue.

Anyway, I'll do the right thing here in the end, after having said so many things, and admit, once again, that I was wrong, you were right, I snapped for no good reason and you were just trying to help.

And I sincerely apologize for my rude behaviour. Hopefully now you can at least understand my reaction.

Also, fair is fair - Maybe TWRP flashes the update before it even enters into it. It would be the first I've EVER heard of something like that. But I am out of my element a bit here, so I will withdraw that comment and once again apologize for snapping at you because of it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
NOW THIS IS HELPING!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Basically, you are saying that I would, in theory, just have to use fastboot and flash boot.img (extracted from any firmware?) again, which I am very familiar with how to do, and presto - boot partition restored and working (once again, in theory)?

Sounds amazing!:good:
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magister54:

Is there any way to check from TWRP or using fastboot, or otherwise find out what version of the rom I have (had)?

I am definitely still on LolliPo... I think I am one or two official updates from the switch to MarshMallow... But how can I be sure?

WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.139_sal358-amtech.vn

Last year sometime I ran into a similar problem, where I had to flash raw firmware in order to unbrick the phone... This is the firmware that I downloaded and flashed then.

However, within this .raw-file there is no boot.img ...? There are a couple of .img-files, but none named boot.

On a side-note: When I bricked it last year and had to flash this raw firmware, which I did with Asus Flash Tool, if I am not mistaken... However, whichever way I did it, I managed to flash and then boot as usual. The phone then updated all apps, and I was just blessed with this wonderful sight of "my phone" with all the apps, files and data still intact.

And this problem, which resulted in the same boot issue, came from trying to apply an official OTA update, just after rooting and unlocking the bootloader (forgot myself for just a moment there), which to me seems like a way more serious screw-up than what I just managed to do today...?

You still boot to TWRP ?

Simple questions ;)

check date of back ups , course you won't be able to restore but title will have builds.

What twrp build ?

Then....

Select reboot in twrp then power off in twrp .

Wait 15 seconds...

Power plus vol+ , you can now boot to bootloader.

What IFWI version ?

0094.0177 or .0173 is LP

0094.0183 is M

Flash relevant raw , without ticking wipe data in AFT.

Check my unbrick thread in my signature for AFT and links to raws

Enjoy
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Yes, I still boot into TWRP.

I can't find my old backup for some reason, but after flashing the previously mentioned raw firmware I never up- or downgraded the ROM, so it MUST be that version. It's the only one I've ever downloaded and flashed.

IFWI version is 0094.0183

But so you are saying I could basically just flash [correct version FW].raw via AFT, without wiping data, and all should be good?

I am on your unbrick thread aws.

I will def bookmark it.

But I already have AFT and the same FW... so I could just go-go-go, right? Or is the IFWI version being M an issue?

Also, I downloaded the official Asus FW from their ZF2 website. In that .zip is in fact a "boot.img" - can I flash this via fastboot you think?

Thanks again for all your help!

You are unbelievable!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
[MENTION=3076029]dustylambo[/MENTION]

0094.0183 is M

So flash a M raw.

You must've upgraded bootloader since flashing the last raw .139 which is LP to get to M bootloader .0183 ;)

In bootloader .0183

You flash raw for M, these have just been added by realyoti ;)

drop him a thanks .

Flash without ticking wipe data in AFT
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Damnit! I don't like where this is going... But it's late and I'm dumb :P

I never upgraded to M because I read that there were several apps that would lose support, MUSIC in particular, but there were others as well.

Will an M raw-file flash and still boot with all my old apps?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
[MENTION=3076029]dustylambo[/MENTION]

It's simple really , what is the twrp build number ?

You never said ;)

0094.0177

Is locked 5 LP bootloader.

.0173 is 5 unlocked bootloader

.0183 is M

What twrp build is yours ?

Ps , I don't think it matters which version raw you flash , only that it may fail and might have to wipe data to succeed which is better than what you have and are struggling with right now ;)

gnite , enjoy ;)

Sounds like you didn't only update Magisk Manager, you update Magisk itself. A non-signed Magisk update will always result in bootloop.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
To be corrected: Not the Magisk, but the repacked boot.img. ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamulia91:
flash again magisk u used before.. ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
I did say, actually... it's M .0183 - so you were absolutely right, I rerooted and unlocked the bootloader way, way, way after flashing the previously mentioned .raw FW. But that guide said nothing about origin or compatibility in the sense of M or LP. So I just rooted, unlocked and went about my business... No issues, until now.

However, I do of course not want to risk having any compatibility issues installing LP FW on M bootloader, but I also don't want my existing data to be conflicting in anyway with the potential new .raw M FW, coming from LP.

So what about doing this downgrade of M bootloader to LP and then flashing my older .raw LP FW, think it could work?

Or do I just increse the risks of data corruption?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
As for why I have TWRP, of course for backups.... But I work in two different countries, travelling back and forth between them on a regular basis... And atm my favourite external HDD is not with me, so neither are any of my phone modding folders.

Luckily I at least had some copy of a part of that folder to find the old .raw FW I was running, so we could at least establish that and figure out the risks with being on M bootloader trying to re-flash LP FW.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Really?! Will that work?

Just reflash Magisk Manager? (???) :confused: :D
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
I was in Magisk Manager and, yes, stupidly, clicked the prompt for an available update.

But so, where does that land me?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustylambo:
Cleared some space on the phone memory... Made a backup of all my data... Soon I will just re-flash the .raw fw

If that doesn't work I will try a downgrade of the bootloader and re-flash the same .raw fw.

If THAT doesn't work, I just go to fastboot and manually reset and flash the latest LP fw. and start from scratch.

I will post results whenever I have a working phone, I guess

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bilojj:
It took my a long time to find a solution, none of the solution I have tried many solution on the internet but none of that is working. So I decided to write one to save someone time for someday :)

Symptom:

1. Displaying "Unknown Issue with Google Play Services" on the notification area for a app. Any apps relied on Google Services like Google Map, Play Store, or even some game like Pokemon Go is not working.

2. When go to settings of selecting Google Account, it force closed. So you can't remove or add Google account / change the sync settings anymore.

Root Cause:

Still unknown, may be due to some bug in Mi 5s offical firmware issue. Even I have clean install of offical global rom but still having this issue after 2 -3 days of use. I dont have such issue when using another phone before but just having this issue when using Mi 5s. (I am purchased two Mi 5s and both are having the same issue)

Solution:

0. Root privilege is required, there are many thread already teaching you how to root Mi 5s so I won't go through the details of rooting Mi 5s here

1. Download Google Play services 9.8.77 (448-135396225) apk and put in the internal storage

(Due to some restriction in xda, I can't post the apk links or upload to this thread, please search in link on the internet, the MD5 for this apk is 1B552C81376A29E8F1F4B2ED9F990B11)

2. Delete Google Play Service

Since Google Play Service is come with the ROM and it is "system app", root privilege it required to remove a system app, to remove a system app, you can search "system app remover" on play store, there are many application which help you to remove system app with one click. For me, I am using a paidware called Titanium Backup so I dont have any recommendation with the above free system remover, but I think most of them should work.

After you have deleted Google Play Service, a pop up about "com.google.gms has stopped" will keep popping continuously even you click "cancel" everytime, but don't panic! ;) Now just hold your power button and Reboot the device

3. Install Google Play Service

After rebooting the device, the "com.google.gms has stopped" pop up will still keep popping continuously. When you click "cancel", there is a 1 second small time gap before the next pop up come in, so make use of the time gap to locate the Google Play Service you have downloaded on the internal storage and install it.

4. Add Google account

After the installation, the pop up will be gone. However, all of the Google account which has configuration on this device are also gone, so you need to add it back as usual.

That's it. Try to open Google Map now :)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoNz0:
Vodafone UK sent out the upgrade to Nougat and I was 1st to jump on it. 1 thing I noticed was wifi calling that used to work great on marshmallow is now broken.

It used to switch over if my signal dropped, mainly noticed in supermarkets and Ikea (metal walls) then switch back once I had a couple of bar signal.

Since the upgrade it tends to come on after a while and stay there, I did assume it was due to upgrading without wiping so once I had the time I backed up and reset the phone from recovery, followed the hours adding all my accounts back and sent the text to Vodafone to enable it again, sure enough the option popped up in call settings and I enabled it.

Now I get 4 to 5 bars at home so 80% signal and the bloody thing keeps coming back and staying on, if I reboot the phone it will go again for a while then come back. I can park next to the bloody transmitter with a full signal and it stays on!

Anyone else got this or know of a fix besides turning wifi calling off?

Thanks.
