[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] LePapron:
Hard brick

Hi,

After installing EU.Rom, my MI5s Plus turned into hard brick. Nothing works anymore. It does show in device manager, but that´s it. Also not noticed in MI Flash Tool.

In CMD (ADB and Fastboot) it says "device not attached". I have read about Deep Flash, but have no idea how to use this or where to buy it.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a lot.

Hello!

I have been following annual Google I/O 2017 and heard about all the benefits of Google's Project Treble.

I cannot help but wonder how are developers (for example here at XDA) able to create custom roms or unofficial Android updates. Why Google can't make official Android Nougat update for Nexus 7 2013, but you here at XDA can. What is different between your work and Google's when it comes to these things, as far as neither has access to hardware manufacturer's code support.

I have to say I am not a professional software developer, so I understand if this topic is beyond my comprehension.

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImAnnoying:
"Why Google can't make official Android Nougat update for Nexus 7 2013"

Planned obsolescence.

"neither has access to hardware manufacturer's code support"

Google is obliged to release kernel source code because Linux(the kernel powering Android) is released under the GPL. The kernel is responsible for letting Android "talk" to the hardware. Developers at XDA can then modify the open-source kernel to "fit" newer versions of Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gakio12:
I'd like to chime in on this.

Let's use the Nexus 7 2013 as an example. The difference between what an official build of Nougat from Google would be and what a build of Nougat from XDA is that the Google released one will have updated devices drivers that are made specifically for Nougat, while the XDA released one simply uses the older device drivers and hope they work. In some cases they work flawlessly (mostly on Nexus devices), however other times there are things that don't work so they either need to be disabled or worked around. So essentially a Google released OS has everything updated and tested to work with the new OS, while XDA releases are more 'hacked' together to work (simply because the device drivers aren't Open Source). Google may not have access to the hardware drivers, but they still get them updated.

Now let's touch on Project Treble (and why I am so excited about it). Instead of each and every device driver needing to be upgraded and tested for each new OS version, the OS version will specify which version of the drivers (HAL's) will work with the OS. This means there will be a separate space where all the device drivers will reside, and the OS will simply load those when booting (no more proprietary binary blobs to include in the ROM! hopefully...).

This means on any Project Treble compatible device (all phones that ship with Oreo, and some that update to Oreo) with an unlocked bootloader, a user can simply compile AOSP and flash it directly to the device with no modifications and have the device work. I believe this is actually a requirement to pass Google's certification process for new devices with Oreo. That means, say, with the LG v30 if the bootloader is unlocked, there can be an AOSP ROM on day one of its release.

So instead of Android being strictly a per device compile, it is just a general compile (sans device specific features). However, this doesn't remove the old driver issue. If the drivers in their respective partition no longer are updated by the manufacturer, the later AOSP code will need to be modified to work around these (and accept them). This is still easier in my opinion than the binary blobs.

As for official updates, Project Treble allows device hardware manufacturers to work on updating the device drivers while the OS Dev (Samsung, etc) works on updating their OS. So it is a parallel development instead of a serial one (hardware AND os instead of hardware THEN os).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSuriv:
A question.

Do the Nexus 5X devices have the Treble system or project incorporated with Oreo?

I do not understand the other manufacturers that cheaper excuses are giving, it is true that they are not obliged but I think it would be good practice, maybe they think as before that you will not buy them a phone.

Does someone make a Change.org or similar campaign to ask all Android manufacturers to make a minimum effort?

Hi, I'm currently still running Oxygen 3.2.8 (Android 6.0.1) on my 64gb OP3 and refuse to update to the latest Nougat software​ because Xposed framework still does not have support for Android N and I still use some Xposed modules including Gravity Box and YouTube Backgammon Playback which I use extensively.

I recently bought a 128gb OP3T and plan to move my apps and data to that phone, but it is already updated to the latest version of Oxygen OS which is Nougat.

How can I roll back to an older ver of Oxygen OS so I can root it and install Xposed? Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anova's Origin:
Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and clean flash OOS 3.X.X.

It's that simple. The first two steps you would have done anyways if you intend to root.

Thanks, does the OP3T use the same ver of TWRP and stock recovery as the regular OP3? I assume the ROMs are slightly different.

Hello everyone,

Sorry if i'm opening this thread to wrong place.

I did a few search in this forum but i couldn't find anything for Lineage OS rom for SGH-I337M (Rogers)

Is Lineage OS (Formerly known as CyanogenMod) even supported on SGH-I337M model? Cannot find any build for "jfltecan". I just don't want to flash wrong rom and end up bricking the phone. Also can I flash "jflteatt" or "jfltexx" Lineage OS rom to my "jfltecan"? Beside Lineage OS ROM, is there any good rom based on Android 7.1.1/7.1.2 that can be used with this phone?

Here are the information's of my phone:

Android 5.0.1

Using jfltexx TWRP on SGH-I337M

Dear ixdadev,

I have the same Samsung device from FIDO in Canada.

I have flashed the jfltexx version of the TWRP recovery on my SGH-I337M device without a single problem.

Then I flashed the Lineage OS 14.1 (jfltexx version) onto the device without single problem.

I have also tried on the jfltecan version of TWRP on the same device but it then rejected to install the Lineage OS 14.1 (jfltexx version) or Resurrection Remix (jfltexx version). I believe the Recovery needs to match with the OS that you are going to install onto it.

Hope this help and sooth your concerns.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] christopher2007:
hi,

I bought a new Huawei P10 lite phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and with this I installed SuperSU via microSD card.

Everything worked fine, until now. Now I want to backup my current modified stock ROM, but TWRP failes.

I got the problem very fast: TWRP can read all files and folders on the microSD car, but not in the internal storage folder.

The file structure is like the following:

Everything can be read by TWRP, except the sdcard folder.

Here he only shows strange names (crypted I guess):

something like:

This strange folders occure within TWRP itself and also if I mount the storage to the computer via TWRP.

I also can not modify, delete or add anything in this cryted folder.

So what am I doing wrong? Why is this crypted and can not be read?

During my research I found this post on reddit with the same problem. But the solution is not clear to me and also not working.

Thanks for any help :)

greetings

PS.: Here some specific information about the phone:

brand new Huawei P10 lite

Hey

It's because your files are encrypted due to forceecnryption and dm-varity in the kernel you can try formating the data to see if it removes the encryption from the data.

My infos may not be correct you can read more about dm-varity and forceecnryption in the internet
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] christopher2007:
Ok, thanks a lot. This was helful so far.

From what I read, I now must flash a new "boot.img" in order to disable force encryption. But where do I get such a file for my Huawei P10 lite (WAS-LX1A)? I did not found one. Maybe the phone is too new? Or am I just blind?

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] ChipCollector:
i had the same issue by using no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip. The phone was brick after that.

Do you know your Build of your Phone ? If yes you can download the right Update.app from Huawei and extract the BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG and the SYSTEM.IMG (Maybe CUST.IMG) and restore it in the fastboot Mode. After that it started again to the UI.

If you dont know the Build of your Phone there will be some Fastboot oem commands to get it (i dont have them in my mind right now).

I flashed the ZIPs in TWRP after that with an external SD card witch arent crypted names...
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] simona70:
I solved using "update_data_full_public.zip" and clearing /data, after restoring previuos boot.img and system.img .

I do not trust to install data into a phone i can't backup and restore with TWRP... there is another way to make /data not crypted?

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] chimeralounge:
Had my phone bricked two days ago after a failed Motorola system update. Decided do ditch it and go with LineageOS, wich I got working after a few failed install attempts. When I tried to acess my internal storage, I had only those randomly named folders. Deleted them all, but couldn´t write to my storage after. Even tried a camera app, and it said that couldn´t work without a sdcard.

SOLUTION:

boot recovery on TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe> select ONLY internal storage > swipe to wipe :good:

Rebooted after internal storage wipe and everything is fine now. It seems all the install attempts made some sort of mess.

Cool, glad to help! In fact, this issue happened to me once again a few weeks back, when LegacyOS updated.

System updates are messing file tables, apparently.

Ok. No sense explaining AT&T Tilt issues over again. We know it's AT&T's (or T-Mobile or Sprint, Verizon) fault only maybe for a very small part (should've been more careful when choosing to resell a gimped PDA), but we also know that AT&T must be one of HTC's biggest resellers (if not biggest overall).

So, i wanted to use a custom rom cuz i just love to stay close to stock android, but everytime i flash a new nougat rom on my phone, i got the same weird bug. The WiFi dropping.

BTW my phone is model 2014819.

From time to time, the wifi just loses signal and comes back after, idk, 15 to 20 seconds. This is really annoying because this causes drops in VoIP calls and WhatsApp Web keeps losing connection with the phone everytime.

I don't know why this happens on custom rom and not on stock rom. But on the other hand, on stock MIUI, when i actually loses wifi signal, like, outside my house, it wont connect to a 3G/4G connection by itself, i have to enter airplane mode and turn it off so it can connect to 3G/4G (which is annoying as well).

So there is my question, is it only with my phone? Does this have a solution?

BTW, everytime i install a new custom rom i do a full wipe before (system, data, davik and cache) and right now i'm using Pure Nexus by Rahif M, just in case you are wondering.
