[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Cyb0urg:
Hey guys, could one of you please tell me how to do a complete wipe?

I'm having so many problems with TWRP at the moment, and so I want to nuke the partitions in hope that it'll fix it. I've tried using the fastboot format commands for system, data & cache. I've also tried to wipe the recovery, but it gives me the error "Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ' ' ". So for that I just use format erase and flash the recovery again.

The only other partitions I know of are the boot and bootloader, but I don't want to touch them if at all possible.

The problem I'm having and why I want to wipe sotrage is that if I install sultan's LinageOS (haven't tested with other ROMs yet), TWRP ****s the bed and will make the device undetectable from ADB, (while TWRP is still running though), and if I then try to go into TWRP again, it'll hang, crash, and somehow make the ROM think its just been freshly installed again (data partition corruption?), and it'll do that every time I reboot from then on. The only way to fix this is to wipe the phone as I mentioned earlier, but it will always get stuck again when I re-flash the ROM.

Also, another unusual thing is that when I boot the phone, it has the old boot splash from my previous ROM when loading recovery or for the first few seconds when loading a ROM. So that might be having an effect on the problems I'm having, and what makes me believe that wiping will help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Sorry if it's a bit incoherent)

TL;DR: Flash TWRP, load TWRP, flash ROM, flash Gapps, load ROM, restart, load TWRP, TWRP hangs, crashes, and breaks ROM. ROM will keep being broken until full wipe. Also weird thing where I have old boot splash from old ROM.

Edit: Ended up bricking my phone, and using the unbrick tool to fix that. It seems that it was what I was looking for, where it wiped the phone completely. I'll have to see if that actually fixes my problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] frogomas7:
Hey everyone, so I had a thread on here the other day about my S8+ having dead pixels, and I thought I'd start a new thread because things have escalated quite a bit.

So originally I had a clump of dead pixels form in the middle-left side of the screen. I was a bit hesitant to get it RMA'd because that was the only fault, or so I thought. Since then, I've had nothing but trouble:

> Force touch home button sometimes doesn't respond, with both screen on and off.

> Notifications are ridiculously lagged. They either come in 10-20 minutes after my other devices get them when the screen is off, or only when the screen is turned back on. On both WiFi and 4G.

> Intermittent lag. Mostly noticeable with Messenger chat heads, but have also seen it with the "connected to wifi" toast notifications. Everything freezes until the toast notifications fades out.

> Alarms not sounding. They only vibrate now. Even on loud mode. Settings show the alarm tone and okay it fine there. Luckily I wake up to my phone vibrating.

> GPS. 90% of the time it can't locate me properly. I'll be like 2 towns over and I'm forever pointing north. So navigating is impossible as I either don't move or am no where near where I actually am. Give the phone a restart and it works fine for a bit.

> Fast Charging doesn't fall back to normal charging if any 3rd party cable is used, even Belkin. My S7E used to fall back with no problems. It says it's charging but percentage doesn't move at all. Turning off fast charging works.

> Forever getting notifications that my Gear S2 is connected. Doesn't pop up but they come up in the notification drawer.

Is anyone else having these problems? Maybe I'm just unlucky.

Edit: Can a mod please move this to S8+ forum? Phone's XDA app had wrong phone selected.

All good over here. Return the unit and get it swapped with a new one.

If you have this many issues, You shouldn't waste time posting here (Unless another Manufacturer "assists" you .. *Wink,. We all need money.) - However, Best Advice - Go to a Samsung Service and return it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] frogomas7:
I don't want to persuade you from upgrading. The phone is amazingly good, don't get me wrong, at least for the first few days with my one. I just think I've got a defective one, which happens. Just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] frogomas7:
I will be for sure. Just wanted to put my experiences out there and see if anyone else has the same issues. Especially with a new device IMO, it's good to see whether it's a single deffective unit or wide spread bugs are appearing.

I have no idea whether you should upgrade, but using just the most recent anecdote (out of millions) you happen to have encountered is not an accurate way to assess a product's quality.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thenessus:
First I'll say that Rooting and flashing are not foreign to me. I flashed since the good ol' Galaxy S, and had Nexus 4, 5 and 5X.

But the thing that concerns me now is that with the Pixel, the software is very optimized, and is not generic. This is especially true for the Pixel's post-photographic processing, which makes its pictures so great.

How do custom ROMs, especially AOSP/LOS-based (as opposed to Stock) tackling this aspect? does the Pixel retain its optimizations? Or is it all replaced by a generic tree and depends after that on the ROM developer?

Thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piet8stevens:
Hi, I am looking for help to get from 6.0.1 to 7.0 on my A2017G. I am currently on B10 with an unlocked bootloader.

This is what I have tried so far:

a. Route via OTAs and zips on sdcard:

a1. B10 with stock recovery. Android works. Got here from B9 with OTA B10 installed via stock recovery from sdcard (downloaded B10 OTA from German ZTE site).

a2. Updated from Android with the Axon7_Nougat-7_0.zip OTA on my sdcard (downloaded from the German ZTE site). Miflash completes without any error message.

a3. Result: phone reboots, after Axon splash screen, phone switches to edl mode (in windows: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).

a4. When I reboot to recovery, I can see that the recovery is 7.0.

b. Route via OTAs and N zip via adb sideload:

b1. B10 with stock recovery.

b2. In stock recovery, "flash from adb".

b3. On windows 10 laptop: adb sideload Axon7_Nougat-7_0.zip. Result: error message "* cannot read 'Axon7_Nougat-7_0.zip' * ".. Zip opens fine on laptop.

c. Route via TWRP and leaked Nougat 7.0:

c1. B10 with TWRP recovery, version 3.1.0-0-ailsa_ii.

c2. Flash ZTE_A2017G.Nougat_leaked_09_03_2017 BootStack and StockSystem by Tron1.

c3. Result: phone reboots to Axon splash and then switches to edl mode, same as a3.

d. Route via TWRP and complete fota update fota_update_A2017GV1.2.0B01_complete.zip

d1. Same result as c.

I have experience flashing with my HTC m7 but on the A7, it seems there are many more ways to make things go wrong and I have no clue where I am going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Some strange things:

1) my A2017G (bought in Germany via Amazon, it says A2017G on the back sticker) reports itself as a A2017U to my windows 10 laptop.

2) in stock recovery, when trying to flash from sdcard, I receive an error message that the A7 cannot mount the sdcard.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piet8stevens:
Replica - sorry
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piet8stevens:
OK, it seems this thread finds lots of readers, so maybe someone can benefit from the solution that I finally found.

These were the steps I took:

a. Starting point was B10 stock (incl recovery) and unlocked bootloader, completely wiped.

b. Only way I could get the 7.0 update (downloaded from ZTE Germany) to work was by putting the .zip on a usb stick and using an OTG cable. Then, 'update' in settings found the zip and started to update. Result was v1.1.0B01

c. As soon as I booted into 7.0, it found the OTA for v1.2.0B02 and started to install that. So, I now finally have 7.1.1 stock with unlocked bootloader.

A big thank you to [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] who provided lots of practical and moral support. Much appreciated.

How can I close the thread?

Thanks for sharing... and it's neat to compared..

i was looking to buy a International version for tmobile, and most of the comments across multiple forums are B12 support is not there for Tmobile..

but the specs says it supported all of Tmobile bands, should anyone has good experience on this..

the specs mentioned is almost matched with most of the sites i referred, hopefully exynos version support tmobile bands..

Commodore Thanks for the info especially the important reference I've been scouring the internet trying to find the one that fits my needs. Any way is there any frequencies for the US unlocked version? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Commodore 64:
US unlocked or carrier free version has model number SM-G950UZKAXAA.

It's listed on bestbuy's site but the network specs don't look reliable, for example the lte bands and the lte frequencies don't match up. I will wait until this phone model gets listed on Samsung's support website and go with those specs. They might drag it out until the end of the month to sell as many carrier S8's as possible. Carrier free is probably not on top of their priority list. But since it's on top of my list, I will wait until the end of May and not limit myself to one carrier specially since this phone is so expensive. (And so cute too ...)

TDD LTE bands B38, B39, B40, and B41 on SM-G950U

Samsung's website for the SM-G950U: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/galaxy-s/galaxy-s8-64gb--unlocked--sm-g950uzkaxaa

The webpage lists the FDD LTE bands in the specs, but it does not list any TDD LTE band at all!

I bought an SM-G950U from best buy a few days ago, but given the issue of reliability of specs that you mention, I want to find out (before the return deadline) if the TDD LTE bands listed in the first post are really supported on the SM-G950U.

So, how can I reliably confirm that the SM-G950U supports the TDD LTE bands B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), and B41(2500)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adg2012:
Solved, using dial code *#2263#

Danny Noman found the solution: Dial code *#2263# lists all active LTE bands on the phone, and on my SM-G950U1 galaxy S8, it shows TDD LTE bands 38, 39, 40, and 41.

[Moto X Q&A] MuhammadBilal:
I was running latest LineageOS nightly build with Official TWRP 2.8.7.0 before. Then I decided to try Unofficial TWRP (3.1.0 and then 3.0.2) & some nougat ROMs.

(1)Flashed recovery in fastboot, went OK.

(2)Flashed XPerience ROM & OpenGapps, went OK.

(3)Tried to wipe cache/dalvik, stuck forever.

(4)Manually rebooted, after boot animation i get stuck on a "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen, where i can only hit Reset Phone button which reboots into recovery wipe cache etc and then the whole cycle starts again.

Can someone suggest the easiest method to get my device functional again?

Also somewhere in between my internal storage was shown as 0MB, which I fixed by repairing data partition.

My phone is an XT-1060 Developer Edition.
[Moto X Q&A] jtflynnz:
You may need to re-flash to an older TWRP; I can say I have had similar issues with the unofficial 3.X.X releases, in my case mainly stemming from (according to the logs) something breaking and becoming unable to mount the Cache partition. Re-flashing the same version did not work, and a different 3.X version of TWRP would restore functionality for a bit, but then it would crop up again at some point (I couldn't even flash NAND backups, had to re-flash recovery first). Another issue is that there are only a couple of the unofficial releases available because that OP's hosting site went down (BasketBuild I think?). So I went back to the last official TWRP and MM for now, though if anyone has any recommendations to avoid/fix this, that would help a ton!

Hello guys,

this my first post and I want to share how to fix the error when compiling a kernel 3.10.x with the CONFIG_MODULES enabled

the error that comes up is something like

compiling twice without cleaning you got the entire error

that is a syntax error, pretty easy to fix:

- open the file drivers/usb/phy/class-dual-role.c within a text editor

- go to line 90

this:

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dual_role_get_property)

should be

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dual_role_get_property);

the error was a missing ";" in the end of that line

I hope I have been helpful for the all the developers and compilers who want to enable "the loadable module support"

[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] iantechie1979:
Hi, well it looks like i have probably hard bricked my phone. After updating to nougat i decided to do afresh clean install. I wanted my phone to as if i had just bought it and came with nougat/emui 5 installed. So i did a factory reset from within the settings menu. But then i thought i would completely erase everything and start from the latest build before nougat, so emui 4.1.2/ marshmallow. So after wiping all the partitions in twrp and then doing a volume up + power to do complete factory wipe followed by using the three button method to install the B130 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my sdcard, all worked as expected. The update completed at 100% and then rebooted. So there i am waiting for my phone to boot to start the setup process as i have done dozens of times before...BUT...my phone will not boot to the initial setup wizard. It just stays stuck on the Honor logo pulsing animation for ever and ever and ever!!!!!!

So i do the volume up + power button to get to stock recovery and do factory wipe and cache wipe as well. It works as expected so i reboot and once again use the 3 button method to install the update.app on my sdcard. That works as expected and at 100% says its succeeded and reboots. Once again i wait for it to boot to the initial setup wizard but....ALAS...it stays on that DAMN pulsing Honor logo. Ive tried rebooting it several times, redoing the factory wipe and install several times, but nothing. Ive gone into fastboot mode (volume down + power) to try and flash the boot.img and system.img ive extracted from update.app but get the error message -- remote: command failed -- and the same if i try to unlock bootloader. Obviously its not going to work because my bootloader isnt unlocked and nor can i got in to developer settings to enable oem unlock and turn USB debugging on because my phone wont boot past that bloody honor logo.

The only thing i havent done yet is to use eRecovery but i dont have broadband and i doesnt seem to work over public wifi! So i will go to my friends tomorrow and use their broadband and hopefullly eRecovery will download/restore the latest firmware. The only other thing i can think of is to download the original nem-l51c432B102 that came with my phone when bought, extract the update.app file and replace the B130 i have on my sdcard dload folder at present.

Sorry for such a long post but i wanted to expalin evrything in detail to hopefully resolve my problem without going backwards and forwards with questions and answers and taking for ever.

So ANYONE and EVERYONE who managed to read the whole post, if you have even the slightest idea of how to get my phone working, please oh please share it with me. Also my phone is still under warranty so if i needed to send it to a huawei centre to get it fixed would they do it and do it for free??? because eseentialy all i did was a factory wipe/reset and install a frmware and it goes KAPUT!! thats not my fault right????!!???

Thank you to one and all for any wisdom you can share.
