1.How to make pure backup of STOCK ROM by TWRP?

2.How to restore TWRP backup of stock ROM so that we can flash OTA updates.

I own Lenovo vibe k5,I created TWRP backup of stock ROM(I flashed TWRP recovery by fastboot boot recovery.img,then created backup by keeping system read only)

After making backup I rooted the phone.

I restored TWRP backup of STOCK ROM,to flash OTA to get latest build.

After restoring backup I flash d OTA update,but it gave error message " system is remounted....."),so I unable to flash OTA successfully.

Why this has happened.

Any body know how to backup pure stock ROM & restore TWRP backup to flash OTA update successfully... without system remount errors....

thank you....

[MENTION=7571048]SoUnd001[/MENTION] [MENTION=4730968]EsromG5[/MENTION] [MENTION=4194545]Koloses[/MENTION] Can someone tell me why the new adreno 306 drivers by Bulgaricus have been deleted? Can I flash them or better not?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
I dont know about that, but here you can find other adreno 306 blobs. Dunno if are same, but its been there before the ones posted by Bulgaricus.

You have to download that repo and take the files which you see in that commit, place them in the correct folders and set correct permissions.

In past ive made a flashable zip with those from Koloses, but i dont have it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] JosephDM:
Thank you but I wanted to know why it is not included by default... Because before it was:)

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] user7743:
Hi all,

I am new to the Axon 7 community and hopefully this isn't a silly question. I have not seen anything to really explain this - maybe its out there and I missed it.

I see many threads on getting a custom recovery loaded on the phone. In some of them, the TWRP image linked is from the TWRP site (twrp.me) and other times the NetHunter site (nethunter.com). Why would I use a TWRP image from NetHunter and not from TWRP themselves?

Thanks for setting me straight ;)

Use whichever you like, both work

Just be careful about the version, versions lower than 3.1.0 are dangerous and backing up stuff can wreck your phone
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] user7743:
Does that mean it is just a case of someone else built the code then rather than being a modification to the code?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Maybe it is a mirror... can't test but you could compare md5
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] user7743:
Understood. I mostly wanted to understand if it was forked for one reason or another. It would appear not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
well there are more than one TWRP versions out there it seems. For example when you flash the universal bootloader TWRP displays 3.1.0-N while on stock 7.1 it shows 3 1.0-0
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fastjohnson:
I've got a little issue myself, twrp installed via add 3.1.0.0 it works I've flashed roms and worked perfectly even though there's no official build for our A7 but yes everything works as it should. OK I backed up 3 backups the original rom and resurrection remix official and Tesla rom they all worked and flashed perfectly using twrp. But 2 of these backups will not restore it fails saying no partition selected but the original rom will back up no problem. And help guys this is the first time I've run into this. I've tried doing via the axon 7 tool also. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pelelademadera:
The problem I think is data partition.

Every time I swich rom to oficial I have to format data, wipe dont work. Maybe before restore format data in f2fs or ext4 for oficial rom

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fastjohnson:
May sound strange but it was because I flashed the ROM and gapps from my USB c style flash drive so I just decided to do the phone over fresh. It's working 100% all fresh install. Thanks for your help but no matter what I did it wasn't going to install those restores.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cr2:
Huawei is extremely reluctant to publish the Linux 4.x kernel source code they are using on Mate9, although it is a blatant violation of the General Public License (GPL).

Meanwhile one can buy a (overpriced) HiKey960 development board https://www.amazon.de/ALLNET-LeMaker-4xARM-Cortex-LEMAKER-HIKEY960/dp/B071429D9W , which is a heavily stripped down version of Mate9: no LCD+touchscreen, no modem, no GPS, no accelerometer/gyroscope/compass, less RAM, etc.

Linaro/Huawei are providing the full 4.4 (and 4.9) kernel source code together with the

Debian image and AOSP, and full schematics for this board: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/README-technical.md

I think we should make a side-by-side comparison of HiKey960 and Mate9 hardware and (closed source) firmware. Feel free to post your findings here, because it seems to be our only real chance to have a properly running LineageOS on Mate9 in a timeslot before this device will become obsolete.

Hey guys, My device is Kaiser(TyTNII) and AT&T is my operator.

I live in Philadelphia, US.

Before yesterday my TyTNII can access HSDPA (with "H" symbol on the top right) when I try to use internet.

However, I use Kaiser Tweak to change some setting of my device and suddenly my kaiser doesn't recognize HSDPA network anymore, I mean it will only show "3G" on the top right. I have checked all the settings and everything seems fine.

HSDPA function is checked and same as in the Kaiser Tweak.

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks.
[Networking] crbn_fbr:
i have the same problem, cant go into hsdpa or even 3g only edge. and it seems to have happened after using kaiser tweak also.
[Networking] crbn_fbr:
Got some help over in the Kaiser forum that helped me. Go to your comm manager then settings/phone/ then go to band and switch your network type to wcdma. after it updated the network i switched back to auto and it seems to be working so far for me. hope this helps you out, something you could try.
[Networking] JohnnyGTO:
I seem to have the same issue but the above solution doesn't help. Whenever I set the phone to do HSDPA through Connections I loss all data connectivity, once I turn it off HSDPA I get 3G.

Is it possible for radio settings to survive a hard rest / ROM upgrade or is the HSDPA side of my Tilt broken :-(

Any insight or help would be real appreciated.

Several times I have gotten "Warning: Unable to change GSM/UMTS Band, Please try again later."
[Networking] JohnnyGTO:
OK is it possible for this to be tower related? What I mean is I drove about 4 miles from my house, got a better signal and surfed the internet using HSDPA. Now I'm back home and HSDPA is chocking and giving me "unknown error 0x80072f78"

What He!!?
[Networking] JohnnyGTO:
One note on my HSDPA trouble, it must some how be related to the one tower nearest my home. When I go anywhere outside a 5 miles radius (I live near the tower) everything works fine.

Here is the weird part, every where else the phone will switch from HSDPA to 3G to Edge and back no problem. Here in town it locks into HSDPA and refuses to switch to 3G or anything else. I don't know if it means anything but it seems to get an IP address I can ping but I don't get any DNS info!.

Now how can I convince AT&T that there's a problem when their support person denies there is any HSDPA services and I should only expect 3G?

I did research and discovered JOdin (equivalent to Odin 3 for windows) I believe.

Just want to request for a step by step guide for MacOS to root the s8?

Better ask than brick my s8, cheers!

Go sell your mac and take a Dell !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mikeyylolz:
You should consider installing Windows under a virtual machine or Bootcamp if you rather boot natively. I haven't checked lately but JOdin isn't maintained and is outdated. You might accidentally brick your phone using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
install a virtual machine on your Mac. Or use something like Wine. I know it works well on Linux so it should work too on Mac. It allows to run Windows apps on Linux/OSX

[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Jaisun:
If yes, Then let me know which brand of charger should i buy!
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] alreadyregistered:
No.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Flynhx:
I think it only supports QC 2.0, though the QC 2.0 charger does not come out of the box. But imo, who needs fast charging when the battery life can last up to 2-3 days with this phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Jaisun:
in it's specs sheet in gsmarena quick charge 3.0 is listed. That's why i asked.

anyway, what's the best quick charge 2.0 charger out there? and will that charge the device faster than the original charger?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Flynhx:
The 625 snapdragon processor does support Quick Charge 3.0, but Xiaomi prohibits using it i guess to cut cost, i know some user who try to use QC 3.0 on this phone but it doesn't work, to be honest i'm also not sure about QC 2.0, my advice is you should try testing it first by borrowing QC 2.0 charger with some of your friends/relatives that has QC 2.0 charger before attempting to buy one.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] dels07:
No QC 2.0 support for me, tested with new xiaomi powerbank 10000mAh, ampere show max usb current 500 mAh instead of 2000 mAh. However from measurement I can get 1700-2000mAh so still charging fast enough.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] thegreatbmn:
Redmi 4 supports Fast Charging (i.e. about 2A), not any form of Quick Charge. The chipset supports it, but as Xiaomi have decided not to pay Qualcomm the royalties they charge for QC, it's disabled at a low level in the phone. It might be possible to enable it via custom kernel, but I don't think it's been done yet if so.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] lonypny:
you mean that from the measurement you're getting a CURRENT reading of 1.700 to 2.000 Amps, right? Because mAh is the capacity measurement while A or mA is the current measurement?

To be on topic, the hardware inside (global version - snapdragon) and the battery support QC v1-3 specs but quickcharge is disabled.

The phone will charge at 1.8A or 1800 mA for about 10 minutes between 20% and 55%. battery capacity.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] goe2car:
the current raise up while you changed to a qc 3.0 adapter.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] alreadyregistered:
CURRENT WILL NOT RAISE ABOVE 2A by now. ONLY VOLTAGE WILL BE INCREASE, but with decreasing current.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] kentaurest:
I tested a bit :

with QC 3 compactible Aukey PA-T16 charger, Ampere shows 2030mA

with Anker 40W 5 port charger Ampere shows 1830mA.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] simonjb45:
I have a Redmi 4 (standard edition) and I also have a USB Ammeter/Voltmeter which I can use to measure actual voltage and current flow into the device.

Using a standard 2A charger, the device accepts 4.9-5.1v (average 5.0v) at 1.5A (1500ma), and rarely exceeds this due to the voltage drop of the charger circuit /transformer in the wall plug.

Using a Quick Charge 3.0 charger (Capable of 5v, 9v, 12v and dynamically 5v-12v for QC3.0), I was able to charge the Redmi 4 at 6.2v/2.1A. The peak voltage was 6.24V and peak current 2.4A (momentary).

The Redmi 4 will charge at 6.2v and 2.1A with a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible charger when the battery is totally flat. As with all batteries the current slowly decreases as the internal resistance of the battery increases as it charges.

This is 13 Watts of power, 1.7 times higher than the 7.5 watts provided by the included '2A' charger. Thus, while it does not officially have QC3.0 capability, the device is still able to utilise a slight boost from the chipset's compatibility with higher voltages. Realistically, this means you could cut down on the charge time by around 1/3, and even moreso when charging from, for example, 0%-30%.
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Hello guys, recently a halogenOS developer [MENTION=6584600]xdvs23[/MENTION] has managed to get HAL3 working for our device. While ROMs are merging these commits from him I thought I'd make a guide to get HAL3 working on your ROM. So I've composed a little guide of some sort in my commit message for JDC ROM that you can check the message down here

AOSP-JF-MM/platform_device_oneplus_oneplus2@74e60d2

I feel like this would make it a bit easier for ROM maintainers to merge HAL3 and get better control over your hardware even on custom ROMs

Of course, huge thanks to [MENTION=6584600]xdvs23[/MENTION] for bringing Camera3 for our device.
[OnePlus 2 General] dom_tucc:
Work stabilizazion on pixel camera?
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
We don't have EIS/DIS like that camera. We have OIS and LAF and that works perfectly!
[OnePlus 2 General] dom_tucc:
Because on op3 work pixel stabilization
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Pixel level stabilization on OP3? I don't think so.
[OnePlus 2 General] dom_tucc:
Yeah, i'm sure that work. I tried it
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
LMAO, no the camera hardware is different, OP3 doesn't have that hardware neither does it have the software optimizations like Pixel. Sure it is good undoubtedly. But then again this thread is no comparison thread so keep it away
[OnePlus 2 General] xdvs23:
Regarding your guide, you don't need to put the separate hal repo in the manifest, that's what the dependencies file is for and ROMs usually have such a file.
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Yea, but some ROMs like JDC don't. By the way you can't remove a project from deps sk it is better to sync alongside with just another line of code (:
[OnePlus 2 General] xdvs23:
Yes but that way you are sacrificing flexibility. I highly recommend implementing such a dependencies file, you just need to pick roomservice, which you can get from any rom that has it.
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Yea I know, I'll implement it in my free time (:

Sorry for the noob question guys... Can you please tell me how to get a flashable zip for flashing on the official LineageOS ROM?
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
This is to be merged in source and not as a flashable zip
[OnePlus 2 General] chxei:
is it achievable to make flashable zip which will contain already compiled files?
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Nope, core files are modified which are different in different ROMs
[OnePlus 2 General] Suixo:
So, the only way to test this is by cooking a ROM myself or wait for it to be merged on the official LineageOS? I'm a man, I hate to wait... :(
[OnePlus 2 General] izukamikain:
You're a man, you should know that asking for ETA isn't good, you should've known that

Install ROM like Unofficial RR, XOS, they had implemented HAL3 into their ROM ;)
[OnePlus 2 General] MZO:
Lineage won't merged this afaik
[OnePlus 2 General] Suixo:
I haven't asked for an ETA. Just assumed I have to wait for it to go on the official LineageOS ROM.

Thank you letting me know which ROMs have this implemented. I'm going to try it ;)

Cheers!

[OnePlus 2 General] Suixo:
I've flashed Unofficial RR and noticed a huge camera quality difference from Official LineageOS.

It's not as good as the OOS camera quality but it's usable.

I notice that when using the camera with low light conditions, a lot of black dots appear.

I've used Google Camera and OOS camera apps on RR rom.

[OnePlus 2 General] :
Is anybody besides Xdevs doing any development on Hal3 or are they just maintainers? Big difference in skillset between the two...

Any way to force camera to user HAL2 and enable HDR? Will HDR be possible in the future on HAL3? I'm just wondering if I should switch to a rom that doesn't use HAL3 to get HDR back or just stick with HalogenOS and hope it comes back in the future.

[OnePlus 2 General] :
XDevs23, was just saying your an actual Dev. Seraph08 is a good Dev too. We had a other good devs but they moved on. Most maintainers here don't actually Develop anything. They just take op2 Lineage device tree and move it to their Rom base.

Wish I was more of a Dev myself. Op2 has so much potential just neglected by OnePlus.
[OnePlus 2 General] neil.richard:
I was wondering if there are any updates on RAW and HDR?

Can you provide me information about Hal3 development for HDR and raw capture
[OnePlus 2 General] rogermax:
look bro, when it comes to these things, we just gotta wait it out. Ultimately it's the dev's choice. They do this for free and if they want to. So definitely no obligation there. Please respect their efforts. How'd you feel if you score damn good in your exam and the only thing your parents say is when's the next one ?
[OnePlus 2 General] VijayamuraliVMD:
I understood that... I am in search of best ROM for my oneplus 2 since Oneplus discontinued the so called flagship Killer, In that Halogen OS seems best but the only feature i am lacking in that is HDR mode, thats the reason for my Eagerness.. Thankyou
[OnePlus 2 General] Dac0908:
I think it is over. OnePlus never gave blobs needed to make it work right and now OP2 is old and deprecated (... 3, 3T, 5 and 5T), most devs have moved on. Look at official LineageOS and Seraph's unofficial version because they are last ROMs with HAL1. Even Seraph has moved on but still maintains it because his gf has OP2, if I remember correctly.

In current state HAL3 has no real advantages but it is newer, so I guess that's why everyone "needs" to have it. I'm guessing there will be no Oreo ROMs with HAL1. Having camera without HDR, how is that better :confused:
[OnePlus 2 General] zipalign:
I 100% second that!
[OnePlus 2 General] shivam0909:
Is this working guys?

https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-portrait-mode-port-non-google-android-oreo/
[OnePlus 2 General] demongokul:
No
[OnePlus 2 General] Dac0908:
Any news with HAL3? Looks like all Oreos have HAL3 and all of them have problems with it. Or is there a relatively new and maintained ROM with HAL1? I see most devs are already pissed because of constant camera questions.

I'm currently on Seraph's 15.1-20180221 and after that even he went on HAL3. So I'm guessing it is now in official Lineage repo so everyone gets it in their builds? But it's still broken.
