[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Poison423:
Ive had a Pixel Xl, s8+ and now a OP 5. Honestly it comes down to a few preference things. s8 has the style as far as the best looking, futuristic phone in my opinion. There is some gimmicky things like edge display, bixby and others again just an opinion. The camera is excellent some oversaturated pics but not bad. The Pixel is great for new android features, consistent performance and all around the best android experience i've ever had. The One Plus 5 strikes a strange middle ground for me, has a phenomenal finger print sensor, the camera is getting better and OOS is a very close experience to stock. Where to me the huge difference lies is what do I normally do with my phone. I personally want a no lag, fast consistent performance. S8 i have used for months now and have ultimately enjoyed it. Used a pixel xl all winter and didn't think of changing. At the end of the day though I will probably pick up the OP 5 more than 50% of the time because I could have almost 2 of them for the price of either other phones. Not that i don't use the others, I take the s8 to certain events, pixel to others. The camera's are within two points on DXOmark, again your mileage may vary but goes to show how close they really are. They are all good, some would say great I am more impressed by the One Plus for being the company they are really competing toe to toe with Google and Samsung. Just my opinion and my analysis.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Craz Basics:
The point of this post lol. The ENG boot.img isn't meant for a daily driver. It's for samsung to test things (write protection is off). The kernel I guess wasn't tweaked for performance so it lags. Root doesn't make it lag, the boot.img does.

Downloading the Chinese rom from your other thread, but I tried to flash the modified s7 edge eng boot (becasue I have the s7 edge) before you edited the post through flashfire and right after it was done secure boot came in and had to stop it. So im pretty sure that in order to flash a boot.img not from samsung that we would have to change the bootloader (which I'm hoping the Chinese rom would do). FIngers crossed! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Craz Basics:
How did secure boot stop it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] branstonmorgan:
I'm pretty sure flashfire successfully flashed it and then when my device rebooted secure boot told me that the firmware was not authorized and in parenthesis it said boot.img.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Craz Basics:
Okay sweet. Could you flash the stock bootloader (BL file of stock firmware, not Chinese firmware) and see if flashfire can flash it? If it can then we should be able to flash Chinese firmware

Pretty sure you know but mount system

Also, I believe you're downloading the wrong firmware (my fault, I only put flat s7 link up).

It's updated Now, links for both s7 and s7 edge

May I ask, what is the difference result, install TWRP in download mode and bootloader mode? Thx
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
When booting to TWRP use bootloader mode(does not install TRWP on Device), Installing TRWP requires Download Mode(replaces stock recovery with TWRP).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] A San:
Ok, I understand.

So do I need to backup the stock recovery first before change it to TWRP recovery. If yes how to backup?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
TWRP.img in fastboot folder

reboot to bootloader mode

in CMD type: fastboot boot twrp.img( device will reboot to recovery)

click Keep Read Only

click backup

select System Image, Boot and Recovery

swipe to backup

All this to be able to Take OTA update, restore System Image and Boot reboot take OTA.

Stuck in limbo

So this is the closest I can find to the problem I am experiencing, but I haven't been able to resolve it, yet. I unlocked bootloader with HTCDev directions and went to install TWRP (3.1.1.1) with CMD prompt while in download mode. The phone appeared to show everything worked fine, but I can't do anything with the phone other than boot normally or into download mode. I can't even hard reset or install OTA update to phone without it putting me into a screen telling me "software may be corrupt" and either sending me back to download mode or rebooting.

I am on last straw here and need to figure out if I should just send phone back for refund.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Need to explain what you are trying to do? You can boot normally and get into Download Mode. If you mean that you are trying to update via OTA you need to be on an untouched System, stock boot and stock recovery. I kept getting the download is corrupted, however I was away on Hotel wifi. I believe the issue was it saw a corrupted sdcard. I just ended up flashing the signed_firmware via external sdcard way, and reflash TWRP. All data was saved doing it this way and seems to be the easiest.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kraz4311:
The first thing I was trying to do was just unlock the bootloader. I had planned on installing TWRP recovery and root with custom ROM but I can't seem to get anywhere now. A hard reset does the same thing as trying to install the OTA. The only place I've messed with the phone is while on my home network. I never had an sdcard in the phone so maybe that's the problem? I have only been trying to do things via CMD prompts.

Where can I get the signed firmware and can that be flashed in download mode? I am not sure how else to do it right now since I can't boot into bootloader, at least not what I think is bootloader. When I select it as an option from the download mode screen the next screen doesn't look anything like a bootloader menu I've ever seen.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Here is the thread with all the firmware updates and such. https://xdaforums.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048

Yes with the U 11 the bootloader is different.

What is your version phone and why are you trying to get to bootloader Mode? Firmware and TWRP will be flashed in Download Mode. The only time you Bootloader Mode is to Boot TWRP(not install it, to basically backup the stock recovery).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kraz4311:
I have the U11 unlocked. I was trying to boot TWRP and make a backup but I didn't even get to that part. I'll check out the firmware updates and see if there is something I can pull from there that will help straighten me out but I have a feeling I will end up returning the phone anyway since I am almost up on the grace period to do so and I haven't even had a chance to actually use the phone functionally on my network, yet.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Gotcha, yes reboot to Bootloader to boot in TWRP. New Bootloader is black screen with large colored text at top. If you couldn't boot into TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img something went wrong. Could always return and then try again.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kraz4311:
Last ditch effort to see if I can make any sense out of this. I've been trying to reflash TWRP and flash the firmware but both give me the same error. Does this make any sense?

THANK YOU!!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Follow_and_Feel:
Could you please help me with that? I have exactly the same error message like kraz. When I try to flash recovery in fastboot mode (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) it says exactly the same "FAILED (remote: Not allowed on PRODUCTION device)". Adb is working when phone is booted, however it doesn't work while in download mode. And in fastboot mode the device doesn't show up when typing "adb devices" without any error message, just nothing happens.

Been trying to get TWRP on my U11 for devastating 5 hours.

What I already tried:

fastboot boot recovery.img // The phone reboots into a black screen and is stuck

fastboot flash recovery // above said error message appears

flashify - phone is stuck on flashify

Also (I don't know if this is a thing or not) the phone says "**PRODUCTION**" when I'm in fastboot mode.

Any help would be highly appreciated :(

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Aldo101t:
ok, are your sdk tools up to date?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Follow_and_Feel:
I think so, yes. I downloaded latest "Minimal ADB and fastboot tools" and commands all work. I don't know, but I think there's some error with some of my partitions (Even though I didn't do anything yet except unlocking the bootloader). I now even factory reset the phone to no avail. Do you think it has to do with my windows machine? Do you maybe have a link of latest sdk?

What is a production device anyway?

P.S.: "adb reboot bootloader" is working fine for example

EDIT: Already downloading latest Android SDK Tools. Also (when in download mode) typing "fastboot devices" returns the serial number of the fastboot device...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Aldo101t:
hmmmm, i don't know then. are you sure you have the right twrp.img for your phone, can't think of anything else right now.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-2-ocn.img that's the command
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Follow_and_Feel:
I gotta admit that I have a U11+, but since I was desperate and couldn't find anything else (Also I found this thread with exactly my problem on a google search) on the U11 and not (+) forum, I tried to get help here. Sorry mods!

But the TWRP.img is the right one. I'm pretty sure about that. Weird thing is, that I can't seem to get any of the recovery related commands right. fastboot boot [recovery.img] gives me black screen, fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] gives me said error on windows command prompt. I really think something is "blocking" it from the installation process, even tho I have not a bit of an idea what that might be (Got my U11+ 4 days ago). Well apparently it might have something to do with that "Production device error". If anybody (including you) might have an epiphany on that topic please pm me on xda. I'm done for today with trying.

Could be worse though. I have a running system in the end :D Just TWRP refuses to be slammed on my phone :p Thank you very much for your tries. Maybe this will be solved in the near future, I hope.

Regards from germany :)

EDIT: Just tried to flash magisk with the "No need for recovery" method - same error (FAILED (remote: Not allowed on PRODUCTION device)). Do I need to decrypt something beforehand???

Got it working and I know now what the mistake was. Don't wanna spam the board tho :D
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] veeny101:
Im having this problem. What did yo do to fix it?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Follow_and_Feel:
When setting up the phone initially I was prompted with this "Pattern/PIN after reboot"-dialogue and I allowed it. I think that was the mistake.

When I went to settings --> Security --> Encryption and Log-In information and deleted the log-in information on the bottom, I rebooted and all the adb-commands I needed finally worked.

Even though I'm not 100% sure if that was the culprit I really think it might has to do something with it. Maybe you could try and see if this works for you :)

Kind regards from germany :)

if you've messed your phone up and can't boot to your OS find the appropriate RUU.exe or the flashable .zip firmware. make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on your computer. if you can use fastboot commands to get to download mode on the phone then run the RUU.exe. if you go the flashable zip route you will need to find the instructions because they include what to rename the .zip file but usually it's the first words before the first "_". most people put the file on their external SD card and flash through recovery. if you don't have access to recovery, I was actually able to flash the zip firmware from the computer on my HTC M9. make sure your .zip file is in your adb/fastboot. you will also need the htc_fastboot. open a command prompt within your adb folder. then follow these instructions. https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdaforums.com/verizon-one-m9/general/official-ruu-1-33-605-15-t3137397/amp/ look at option 2 these are for flashing on the M9

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamk7:
Whichever flashing method I use (TWRP, fastboot) Whichever rom I use (I tried clean stock, pre rooted, MM, LP, backups), I can't get past the animation screen. Even restoring a backup through TWRP gets stuck at the same spot. The only ROM that works is LineageOS (based on Android 7.1). I tried wiping various combinations of dalvik cache, data, cache, system, internal storage - still always stuck on boot animation. I tried leaving it for a long time always, the longest was over 2 hours. I feel like I'm missing wiping something since it seems like the issue is going from a 7.1 rom down maybe?

More info: I was using SLiM ROM (MM 6.0.1) for a while but it got extremely slow and poor battery life after a while. I flashed LineageOS for Z3C and it worked fine, but wasn't my cup of tea, so I wanted to go back to stock-based. I figured I'd try eXistenZ (MM 6.0.1). The instructions said to be on 23.5.A.1.291 first, then root it, and then flash the existenz zip. I didn't downgrade to .291 the first time and it didn't work. Second time I flashed a stock D5803_23.5.A.1.291 (which booted up normally). Went through the rooting process (as seen here), and that worked fine. But the next step of flashing eXistenz didn't work. I tried again from the start, but this time I couldn't boot into after flashing 23.5.A.1.291 again. This is where the problem started. I tried Slim and various roms using fastboot, various versions of twrp, and even a 6.0.1 backup through twrp. Always regardless of ROM, it gets stuck on boot animation. Except for LineageOS.
