[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyboy24:
Stuck on "Powered by ANdroid". No recovery, only fastboot & rescue mode.

Hello,

I have Honor 7 PLK-UL00, and it is stuck on "Powered by Android" screen. The bootloader is unlocked. I can only go into fastboot or rescue mode. I cannot enter recovery or erecovery mode. I have tried flashing img files through fastboot of Android 6.0 B360, Android 5 B130 and Android 5 B788 but still no luck :(. The only option that seems left to me is flashing zip through fastboot. Does anybody here have the zip of stock or custom rom that i can flash through fastboot or anybody help me in making the zip.:confused:

The problem occurred after I had restored Modem, 3rdmodem, Dtimage, etc using "Partition Backup & Restore" app. Then I restarted, and this problem occurred.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walterclozet-g:
I had the exact same problem, i think its because modem partition is corrupted. I tried to extract modem.img from update.app and flash it by twrp dd command, its not working. so if some one with normal system can use dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/modem.img to dump a valid backup maybe it can be used to restore modem.

Did you try flashing zip through twrp? Stock or custom?

My device is not even entering in recovery mode, not even TWRP or erecovery.

Can you upload fb.zip, so that the devs here can have a look and help.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walterclozet-g:
1. i tried to flash custom zip rom(includes system.img, cust.img, boot.img) by twrp, not working.

2. i tried to extract system.img, cust.img, boot.img from stock 7.5.1 and 7.4.16 rom to replace custom rom files and flash by twrp, not working.

3. i can enter rescue mode by pressing vol+ vol- and power key let it boot twice usb should not be plugged. i can enter twrp or stock recovery(it will try to flash /sdcard/dload/update.app, but always fail at 5%)

4. i tired to flash 3rdmodem by twrp then flash stock recovery in fastboot mode, enter rescue mode, the ui now shows in english, but still fail at 5%.

5. i tired to extract 3rdmodem, modem use twrp command dd to ovewrite thoese partitions, not working.

6. i tired to pack modem.img to flashable zip using huawei update extractor, set it to /dev/block/mmcblk0p30, not working.

7. you can flash twrp in fastboot unplug usb cable then press vol+ vol- power, the phone will reboot, then screen bacame black, release those buttons, twrp should boot. it may take 30 seconds to enter.

i used dc phoenix tool to unbrick my phone, it boots, but sim can only use 2g network. if the card slot is set to be 4g one, card will be unable to enable or just wont detect sim card.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyboy24:
Can you explain the steps in detail?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walterclozet-g:
first contact dc-tool for free test, then buy 15 credits from the website. then download dc-phoenix tool, reboot phone to fastboot, using method 1 with correct update.app(using the wrong one, it will fail when trying to flash). when it finished, if the phone can boot normally, use vol + vol- power to force flash from sd:\dload\update.app. then the phone will be ok. if method 1 didn't work, then you may try method 2, i tried that, but my phone won't work with gsm sim if set as 4g card, only cdma card can.

detail info: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial

if the phone is unbricked, they will require you to post a thread explaing how to unbrick the phone, send the thread link to them, you will get refund. i did that last week.

this is the thread i posted, you can see what i did. but remember try not to use method 2, you may lost serial number and gsm sim card may not be supported, i cant fix that.

hi,

i need a bit help.

when I attach my One Plus 3 to my PC it is detected and I can access to some folders and files like DCIM folder and some images in it. But: I made some photos in the last couple of weeks which are placed in DCIM/Camera folder. But this Camera folder is not visible in DCIM folder which I see when the device is attached to my PC.

Same with Titanium Backup folder. I see this folder if i browse through my device with app ES File Explorer, but I cannot see this folder on my device when it is attached to my pc.

What is wrong here?

Thx !
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
Known problem. Don't know for any permanent solution, but (at least from my experiences) there is a workaround. Connect the phone to the PC while booted into recovery mode instead of system. It should list all folders then.

Alternatively you can use ADB commands (adb pull) to get files from phone. This always works.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
oh, thanks!

Your workaround worked :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
I remember this comment saying something else a minute ago ... ? Glad it worked.

If you're still interested in adb method - it works great for many files as long as they are in the same folder. You have to pull whole folder as there is no simple way to select multiple files.

Another alternative is to somehow connect phone to PC via network. I usually use Solid Explorer (but there are good free alternatives) to connect to my PC's shared folder and then copy files to it via this app.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
yes, tried again to doublecheck and then it worked :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyGuyPanPeter:
So I am using EDS app from sovworks.com and this somehow need change SELinux compenents.

It always worked fine untill I have installed Magisk Manager and flashed Magisk v12.

Now Magisk I dont need anymore because Magisk Hide will not work for me. But NOW I CANT USE EDS anymore.

IMAGE:

http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=14152392

So this notification is normal for me I press OK and it does a fast reboot but now it reboots and it stucks on loading, like a bootloop. And I think this is because Magisk because thats the only different thing I did. It also can be SUHIDE but I dont know.

So i open magisk manager and press uninstall but after the reboot Magisk Manager says Magisk is still installed, its like a damn Trojan and cant get rid of it.

AND NO I AM NOT USING MAGISKSU, i am using SuperSU.

My phone is encrypted too so flashing through TWRP wont work for me.

So headache, you want to use magisk hide it doesnt work and than it DUCKS another important thing with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kikill3r:
Hey guys,

I flashed DARKLORD's S8 port yesterday evening. Everything was perfect. However, I noticed that the ROM was rooted with SuperSU system-less and thus didn't pass SafetyNet. I wanted to install Magisk in order to get Magisk Hide and pass SafetyNet. So I checked which kernel the ROM used. It was SuperStock 2.5.0.

I downloaded a clean, non-rooted SuperStock 2.5.0 kernel and flashed it through the recovery in order to get rid of SuperSU. The next reboot took really long. I went to bed after waiting for 30min, leaving the phone plugged in and on the Samsung boot logo with the typical blue notification LED that shines when the phone powers on. When I woke up the next morning, I noticed that the notification LED had turned off, but the Samsung logo was still there. I force rebooted the phone with the power-volumedown-homebutton combination. I noticed that it took quite long for the phone to turn back on again after the screen went black (10 seconds or so). I went into recovery and flashed DARKLORD's ROM again in order to get the original, working kernel back. Halfway through the flashing process the phone turned off and now it's dead.

I plugged it in for an hour, nothing. Not even the notification LED turns on when plugging it in. I can't get into download mode or recovery, I can't do anything.

Is my only option to send it to Samsung or is there any other way to get it to work again? Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shaggyskunk:
Can you Boot into Download Mode or TWRP Recovery? If Recovery isn't working for you - Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to Flash the Stock Firmware - And extracted then Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin and go from there.

Edit: just re-read your post and you are certain that you can't get into Download Mode? Have you tried to only Press Power and Volume Down as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kikill3r:
I tried everything. Nothing worked, it did nothing. As I said, not even the LED turned red when I plugged it in. In the end, I went to a Samsung support center and they replaced it. Apparently it was so broken that they couldn't even find out that it had Knox 0x1....

Hi.

I bought a G4 (H815) off aliexpress that bootlooped, and which I can get replaced, but I am stuck with getting another G4.

The seller is willing to stress test it if I want, but I would like to know how that could be done to test if the phone may bootloop.

I know there is a hidden menu once can boot into that performs some diagnostic tests, but wondering if anyone know which test should be done, or if there is an application one can install to stress the G4?

TIA for any help you can provide

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcnext:
I can think of a couple options. One is to load a stress testing program from google play and ask seller to run it for an hour. Just find one that has high user ratings on the Play store. Second method is to install a demanding game like Real Racing 3 and play it straight for a bunch of hours. This will heat up the device and push it hard. Method 2 would work if the seller offers a warranty of at least a week to give you the time to try it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] damthrill:
I haven't checked all posts so it may have been addressed already. But, my pictures were comming out super fuzzy. And the business card ocr wasn't working. I took the back cover off and cleaned the internal lens. still no luck, then I took back cover off and tried taking a picture. And it was WOW! clean like it should be. OCR also works awesome

problem is the glass/plastic on the removable back cover, I think its plastic. I am a true cell phone user and keep the phone in my pocket, without change or keys. but the plastic rubs the cotton pocket and scratches up.

I bought the phone $600 cash from ATT store. I called att and those son of a ****** sent me to htc for the 1 yr warranty, and htc said I could buy a new cover. But the defect is theirs, if you reasonably assume that a person carries a phone in their pocket.

They should've used glass.

Can someone please take back cover off and tell me if they notice extreme difference?, like I did.

ATT has it out for me since I am a gsm charter account.

Thanks,

damthrill

With back cover OFF:

I tried like hell, took several shots to make sure the camera was steady, positioned the same place, etc....

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NguyenHuu:
that is a big improvement. they said you can buy another cover. would that even fix the problem if it was the cover in the first place that cause the poor quality? i dont see how putting another cover on will fix it, unless the new cover is some kind of high quality glass or something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
After playing with it......

I wonder if it is actually the plastic or if it is the amount of light that is let into the camera lens?

If you look at the back you will see that there is just a small hole... I mean just enough for the camera lens to shoot a picture. Once the back cover is OFF, it has the opportunity to take alot of light into the photo.

Maybe drilling out the plastic will allow more light to come into the picture????

But you might never know because you will drill out the plastic, which might solve the problem. But you might also be letting in more light, which might solve the problem. With a "fix" like drilling out the plastic, you can't undo what you did to test the "other" theory.... is it LIGHT or is it the PLASTIC??? Hummm.........
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] damthrill:
Look at his two pics carefully. See the distinct difference between black shade, one is really black. Also, take a look at the color of the can text, its redder. Do you think you can try taking some pics of some girls in bikinis with and w/o cover. I am just trying to say that I think the camera actually takes good pics if cover is off. I know that it makes a big difference if the optical business card reader program can all of sudden extract lots more data time and time again with cover off,

But, no one should take cover off to take pics. I just want to use what they advertised.

I can't drill cover because it would turn it into a dust collector inside.

Good work, lets try to get some more pics for referencing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepeto2001:

Once cleaned i could see no difference with the cover off or on, the one i did take with the cover on just out my pocket was very blurry, fuzzy, but when i opened the cover up, the cover and lense where full of dust etc...... i think you may have a defective cover....

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] damthrill:
If you look closely at the plastic window thats on my cover, I see micro scratches, but how did they get their? from normal use, I have never scratched glass lenses. A key chain in the pocket with phone just one time can mess up the glass lens if it keeps tapping on a glass lens. The scratches appear becuase htc used cheap plastic, so is this a defect? They don't think so, I also told the warranty lady if I could talk to an engineer, she said no. Now this auto focus at half way idea, I will try. It is unacceptable to have these problems on a $600 device, esp. when they already gutted out the inside camera, like the kaiser has 2 cameras I think?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] austinsnyc:
also people there is a coating on the plastic cover on the removable back. You see how looks like it has a purpleish tint to it? the camera lens cover also has this coating. I think they should have only used this coating on the camera lens cover since this coating is made to filter light I believe they are filtering to much light out hence the pictures being so much brighter when the cover is removed. HowEver you are righ that the plastic cover is cheap and scratchs way to easy I have always carried mine in the case that came with it from HTC and mine is looking pretty poor these days :(

[Samsung Gear S3] ffortissimo:
Before I buy the Gear S3 I'd like to see the apps available to it.

I'd be disappointed if I spend 400 euro and find very few usable apps.

Is there a way to see them?

I tried within my browser, but it sends me to the Samsung Store.

I tried with the gear app, but I need to connect first.
[Samsung Gear S3] fred2546:
Completely agree with the need to be able to see the apps from a computer's browser. I posted about this is another thread yesterday. At least in my Gear S3 app on my phone, the fonts are very light and wispy making it hard to read the descriptions. And sometimes the phone is elsewhere and I'm at the computer reading about apps and I would like to look for them.

In addition, I find it somewhat surprising that the Gear S store does not offer a refund within a reasonable time after purchasing if the app does not really meet my needs.
