I have made numerous update from a lot of devices from WM2003 to Wm5, WM6

I have made numerous updates on my BA

So don't tell me : "you have not done what you should"

I tried on 2 computers, same thing with Activesync 4.5

I am in WM6

I want to try another wm6 image

I do all I should

I run maupgrade_noid

Say yes, I want to upgrade

When the upgrade want to start, I think it want to put my ba in bootloader mode and activesync stop and then I have an error message saying "connection error".

I cannot go to bootloader with camera, on/off, reset

I think my bootloader is struck

What can I do ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] eurorpeen:
Hold on

Seems to work with :

USB/Serial Screen mode?

No

Hard reset do not work

But my previous solution worked

goodluck on your BA endeavors.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
I am not the author of this, it is from https://android.stackexchange.com/q/174799/146132 but it has some great info I thought I would share... My thanks to the author.

About a month ago the Moto G (3rdGen) of my wife was not able to recognize the SD-card 32GB Trancend premium 400x (which was formatted as adoptable storage) anymore. On this card were very important pictures and movies for us (of our new born baby). As of a certain Android version the adoptable storage is also encrypted and reading it on a PC or other phone is not possible without the encryption key. Since the phone was also not rooted it was also not possible to get the encryption key from the /data/...something directory... (see https://nelenkov.blogspot.ch/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html) So I almost gave up hope...

I bought the exact same type SD-card, also 32GB, only about a year later. Hoping that I would be able to make an exact clone of the card and I would be able to start some experiments with it without the risk of destroying something on the original card and losing all the data. When I mounted the original card under Linux it shows two partitions 17MB and about 31GB. Cloning the card with some Linux command line tools didn't gave me the same result. Next thing I tried was cloning it using HDDrawCopy, first write the entire card to an image on my harddrive. When I copied the data to my new 32GB card I noticed that the new card did not have the same capacity of the image file (image was 32.22GB, new card shows capacity of 31.11GB) so hmmmm that trick doesn't work... Luckily I also happen to have a 64GB SDcard (same type) which should have enough space for this test. So using HDDrawCopy I wrote the image to this card. Checked under Linux if I see the same partition as with the original card and this happens to be (of course it also shows about 32GB of free space not partitioned).

So I thought lets see if the Moto shows the same error with my new card in the phone and that I made an image on which I can start to try to hack the encryption off(now or in the future). To my surprise the Moto shows immediately that the transcend 32GB volume is mounted! I went to the gallery of the phone and IT SHOWS OUR PICTURES AND MOVIES again!!!

So in short when this happens buy a larger volume SD-Card (to make sure that there are enough data-block available). Use HDDrawCopy to make a bit-wise clone/image of the original card. Write the image to your new card and check if it can be read by your phone.

Never do the following or your data will be lost:

Format the cardSet your phone back to factory default (destroys your encryption key)Make the phone to forget/unmount the storage location (also destroys encryption key)upgrade to a newer version of Android (or any other major system update).

(of course make sure to make backups or cloud syncs to prevent this situation at all)

I hope this can help someone out there who might ended up in the same situation.
[Moto G 2015 General] ajparag:
Unfortunately I have clicked on forget the card. Can anything be done?

Unfortunately I have clicked on forget the card. Can anything be done?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Unfortunately, no... When you click "Forget" the unlock token is erased and not recoverable by normal means. The daya stored on an internal SD csrd is now lost forever.
[Moto G 2015 General] rohit_95:
Hi, I am in a similar situation. I have a marshmellow phone with an sd card set up as adopted storage, but the phone stopped working and I needed the memory card somewhere else so I took an image backup of the SD card Partition. This is the mistake I did, should have taken the entire disk image backup. So now when I restored the image and the phone is fixed, the phone doesn't recognizes the memory card even though it still has the encryption key.

Any ideas?

The partition table is correct, the first partition "android_meta" probably has the wrong info
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
I've been a Note2/3/4 user and had planed on the Note 7 (which didn't happen), and ended up buying the G5 last year. I'm looking to go with the S8 (or S8+) Unlocked, but not sure which version would be the better one to go with. The "U" that is the US Unlocked with the 835, or the "F" International with the Exynos?

I had heard that with last years S7 Unlocked model, that the "F" international version was better with updates, but Android Pay/Samsung Pay would not work in the US, while the "U" US model took forever to get updates and Nougat, but the Pay programs worked.

Right now, BestBuy has a 24 monthly payment promo on the S8/S8+ SM-G950U Unlocked US models, which would work out better for me, but am worried about timely updates. BHPhoto has the "F" International units, though no payment plan, but those may get faster updates, and root/custom roms, but Pay apps might not work in US.

Thanks for any help & suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] justnewbee:
You did a really great summary. Actually, right now I got this question too. Which unlocked version did you get? Any feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
I initially got th S8+ Unlocked model G955U1 last week from Samsung's eBay page for 700+tax=$750.

But after using it for a few days, the Plus was a bit larger and heavier than I wanted. Then I saw that the Samsung.com site had both S8 models for sale and offered $200 for any (older) smartphone trade. So I ordered the S8 G950U1 and the price including tax was $450 (going to trade in my old Verizon Note 2, since they only sell for about $100...even though I wouldn't mind keeping it since I have the Note 2/3/4.)

I got the S8 in yesterday, and more please with it's size and weight than the Plus, so will be sending it back.

Samsung Pay works with both of them (being a U model) in the US. I had decided not to risk a $700+ phone without knowing for sure is Samsung Pay would work in the US on the International F models.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tachi91:
One of the most important things to look for is the freq/bands of supports.

Example. I have T-Mobile, the US unlocked version supports the carrier bands just fine. While the International unlocked uses all the same LTE bands for T-Mobile, but not the AWS freq for 3G. With T-Mobile refarming their Spectrum across the US you might run into an area that your phone doesn't support for 3G as a fallback or LTE if neither are available.

I went for the International version since its the most developed here on XDA and the exynos variants always get updates before the SD ones.

Still new to the Samsung community and trying to figure out everything, but wondering around the forums helps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rzracer2:
I've had a 950F for about a month and picked up a 950 U under the new Sammy promotion. Came in yesterday and very dissapointed with the storage results. Androbench started at the same time on both and the 950F finishes the test 7-8 seconds sooner than the 950U. SR 779 for the F only 549 for the U. SW 205 for the 950F, 142 for the 950U. Only bought the U to flash it with the AT&T CSC for VOLTE. Same programs on both and ran test 3 times with reboots, same results.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rzracer2:
Samsung pay works fine in the US with the F, just use the Australian firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tachi91:
I'm not surprised. Exynos is Samsungs Creation. Theyre gonna optimize those devices alot better then SD variants.

They each have their strong points when compared, but the exynos are more inhouse developed so Samsung can build higher quality drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
That difference in memory speed is because of the one on the left using UFS 2.1 and the one on the right using UFS 2.0.

When I got my Unlocked S8+ U model in last week, I ran those tests, and the read was over 700MBs, meaning it was 2.1.

Yesterday when th S8 U came in, did the same tests, and read speed was a over 500MBs, meaning UFS 2.0.

There has been discussion that most all Plus models have 2.1 memory chips, the the S8 (regardless of it being a U, F, or Carrier Model) can either have 2.0 or 2.1.

AnTuTu Benchmark had a score of 161000 with the S8+ 2.1 memory and 160000 with the S8 2.0 memory. In the real world, I've heard the difference is pretty negligible.

Would I prefer having the faster 2.1? Sure, but I'm not going to return or exchange the S8 just over that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
I had seen that the F model can be flashed in Odin for one of the other countries, such as Australia or the UK (EE) to get Samsung Pay to work in the US.

If all things were equal (meaning the price), then I may have gone that route, but getting the S8 G950U1 for $425 before taxes was too good of a deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rzracer2:
Agree, I paid $660 for my F but only $450 for the U with a junk trade in. Only bought the F for the option to root but I really don't see the need or at least a need that is greater than keeping KNOX un-tripped.

I'll also add that I'm showing slightly better LTE reception with the 950U on AT&T. -110 30 ASU on my desk with the F and -108, 32ASU with the U. Not much but at least better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
After using the S8+ last week, and now the S8, I kind of wish Samsung just had one S8 model size and split the difference for an even 6" screen.

I think that would of been ideal (for me).

Since I'm a long time Note user, I had thought about holding out for the Note 8, with dual cameras, but since it will be even taller than the S8+, that rules it out. In fact, I find my Note 4 (16:9) more manageable in one hand than the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] neeviour:
According to the previous poll thread and more importantly the discussion here, I think the conclusion was:

All exynos S8 and S8+ will be UFS2.1 with Samsung flash

All Snapdragon S8+ will be UFS2.1 with Toshiba flash

All (US?) Snapdragon S8 will be UFS2.0 with Toshiba flash

Samsung made changes to their website description about the flash chip technology after this finding.

I saw this finding quieted down very smoothly, right after the worse issue with Huawei P10's flash chips. Samsung PR?

After this was found out, Samsung made a promise that all Chinese Mainland and Hongkong versions (both S8 and S8+) will be UFS2.1 despite using SD835.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chungdae:
It depends on what you're looking for. Samsung pay does work on the F variant, I'm using it as we speak. The F also has the ability to root for custom roms and has UFS 2.1
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lalew25:
Does anyone know if Samsung's built in caller ID works on the F model?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Running the latest global beta 7.6.1 ROM just updated tonight... was same on 7.5.16 too :(

My Google pixel does not experience this.. It is really bad on games too - like Pixel Gun and Minecraft PE

[YOUTUBE]USjIw8Nn6yw[/YOUTUBE]
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ArcOnFire:
I have similar stuff happening on 7.5.19 Xiaomi EU ROM. But it doesn't bother me.

Basically, I think the ROM gives some tolerance on how far should the initial movement has gone to unlock the pointer from the initial position. Definitely not a hardware problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Does anyone else have this issue? I am thinking about returning my MI6.. can anyone else take a video using the multitouch tester like me, and doing a touch and fine movement on the screen without making the circle move? please help! I really need to know if this is just the phone, or whether mine is faulty. thanks so much in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ted presley:
Actually the touch is very sensitive, just the way they decide that if you put down the finger like that, no mistouch (no movement is recorded). Whenever I play game, just push enough and move your finger and I have no problem with that (as a habit of gamers, I don't stiched my fingers on the screen that much).

Actually if you put the finger down and move it a little, it move the circle. But if you hard push for longer, slightly move don't move the circle. Hope you can sort it out.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ArcOnFire:
That's what I have suggested to him too.

There shouldn't be a problem if you immediately move your finger upon touch. It's just if you don't move, it'll create some threshold in order to the cursor to be movable from the initial position.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] someone261:
Does the multitouch works good when you are not holding the phone in the hand? try putting the phone on a pilliow and try using 5 fingers on the screen with this multitouch tester app and see if it recognize all 5 fingers.

I had the nexus 7 2013 and it had that problem :/
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
There's actually no problems at all touching the screen. its only when I touch then drag, I need to move my finger greater than 5mm for it to recognise the finger is moving - if moving the finger slow... Watch the video I posted in first post and you understand.

In a game, for example. playing a FPS game like Minecraft - you select the block you want to remove and then you swipe your finger from that block to the next its very jerky, because the pointer does not unlock with small finger movement. takes big movement then its unlocked. once unlocked its fine - the whole time I don't lift my finger from the screen..

So its really annoying playing games - because I have to touch the screen, then swipe to unlock the pointer, then I can aim and shoot at the enemy or remove blocks in minecraft.

Some have said its the game, but you can also try with the stock launcher - going between screens of apps, you swipe left or right, it takes 5mm finger movement before the screen starts to move to the next..

I tried the inbuilt Finger touch sensor tester, and the touch and move finger 5mm is represented as 2 pixel dots - instead of a line. so something is farked up in the software. I have 2 x MI6 (bought another to test) and both seems the same... Xiaomi need to fix...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] someone261:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ArcOnFire:
I also have Nexus 7 2013. The problem was jittery touch when you do multi-touch. It's kinda different problem.

But the case in Nexus 7 2013, it can be fixed by pushing the fix via ADB.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] buzzam:
Same here.

But i think the developers want it.

I think it is a feature, not a bug. For better usebility.

Yes lol, a feature that we don't really want exactly like the notification light new feature which is that it only have one color - white.

Some googling suggests that's it possible to to calibrate the touch screen, did you try that?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/37umy0/tip_calibrate_your_xiaomis_touchscreen/
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ArcOnFire:
There's no "Touch calibration" option in my Xiaomi.eu ROM. Only "pass" or "fail"
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
There's no way to calibrate the screen... a few apps on play store do nothing..
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] -Zteam-:
Okey, I don't own this device so I had no way to check, if it was possible or nor, I do consider buying this device myself, but that touch issue, sounds really annoying....
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] -Zteam-:
I tested this, on a friends Xiaomi Rednote 4, the touch delay wasn't there as far as we could see, so it doesen't seem to a feature of MIUI, maybe it's a bug or something.

It was running MIUI 8.1 I believe.

If it is a bug, you should ask Xiaomi to fix it. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
I don't really understand the problem - I can say this though...I have the OnePlus also and the Mi6 is faster and smoother, the screen is brighter and looks sharper and the touch latency is much, much better. The screen is extremely responsive, and slickly so, compared to the OnePlus.

Both phones have their good points.... OnePlus has far more development and rooting etc is a breeze but in terms of using the phone, it's the Mi6 I keep taking it of pocket.

And the camera is excellent. And the sound... Have you heard the SOUND....!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
If you watch the video, you'll see the MI6 takes a long distance when dragging a finger, to unlock the pointer.. All other phones on the market have much shorter unlock (like zero travel!!)...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
Like I aaid.....

I have both phones.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] -Zteam-:
So you can't replicate this?

As I mentioned before, I tested this on Redmi Note 4, and was unable to replicate it, no problems there at all.

This was to see if it was a general issue with MIUI, which it doesn't appear to bee.

There is a feedback app, which you can use, to give feedback to MIUI / Xiaomi developers, had you given feedback there?

Also, maybe, we should try to get a poll over here, to make it more easy to see how many is affected by this.

This issue is a little bit of a dealbreaker for me, so I'm very eager to find out if it is a hardware issue, or a bug..

No review mentions this as at all either.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
I've already been on the Miui forum and left the comment. Others are affected as well. Most don't care, and to be honest it doesn't affect the general use of the phone. Its really noticeable in games though.... If you try Minecraft PE or Pixel Gun 3D it becomes real annoying, you have to quickly move your finger to unlock the pointer, then after that zero issues while you hold your finger on the screen. If you lift it you're then back to square one and have to do the same thing to unlock the pointer again to get "fine" movement once again .

Anyways TBH, this is my only complaint, aside from the video recording using the camera that doesn't have the F/1.7 lens and is way too dark at night, and without any 60fps settings..
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:

I have the same issue. Phone from gearbest, global stable V8.2.2.0.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] -Zteam-:
Yes, I did see your forum post over there :)

I don't play games that much on my phone, but sometimes a little bit of gaming can be fun, and then I do actually prefer games with gestures, instead of onscreen buttons. (come on the snapdragon 835 is really begging for running games)

Also I guess keyboards like Swype will be frustrating to use, because of this delay.

I was very excited about this device, but this issue, is killing my interest in this device :-/

Can anyone confirm if this bug is fixed in MIUI 9 Beta?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] cnmoro:
I have the exactly same issue and is very noticeable for me, its very annoying to be honest (especially in some games that require fine movement).

I had the same issue on the Moto G4 Plus... Back then I tried like 10 different roms and all had the same issue - that leads me to believe its hardware related.

Not a dealbreaker tho, but very annoying.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
To clear the Fastboot mode, in fastboot enter "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" and after that it should start the OS without going into fastboot each time.

The fact this is happening leads me to believe your other problem is related... meaning you didn't flash the stock images properly. If you have no network then you need to reflash the radio stack and boot.img file, they must match and you have to erase the modemstX partitions for the radios to work properly.
