[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
She says it died a LONG time ago and the phone has just been collecting dust (no chance on using warranty).

Im new to this device and subforum - is this a common problem with the note 5? The cheapest Ive seen for a replacement screen is like $200 and for that much shes probably better off getting a brand new phone.

She says the pixels started to bleed before the screen completely died.

What are my options?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbine1991:
I wouldn't throw the term died around unless the device doesn't power on. As the screen bled, getting a replacement screen would be in order.

I've replaced my screen twice and battery twice.

You'll need a heat gun, a replacement back and a few tools for opening phones - notably a few guitar picks. The back has glue which will break the seal and you will probably crack it, so hence the replacement back.

When you're breaking the seal of the old screen, be very careful about going too far on the bottom edge, as you can easily cut through the touch ribbons and finger print one.

You should be able to get a screen for much cheaper than $200.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
Whats wrong with the term died? The screen needs to be replaced, its not dead? What am I missing?

And yes the device still powers on. I can hear notifications and stuff when turning it on, just cant see anything.

Ive only replaced broken iphone screens before, and every time Ive done it it was a screen/digitizer replacement. Is the process similar?

And where are you seeing screens for under 200? Even the sketchy looking ones are priced at around $200.

Thanks for the reply.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyjodel:
Hi, I need your help....

Where can I find ROM with system.img, boot.img, userdata.img etc ?

for some reasons, mainly because i'm a dumb, i erased the entire partition of the OPO64.

Now, the only things I can do is to boot into :

- Fastboot Mode

- TWRP (that I installed just before doing silly things, like wiping everything out...)

I am wondering how to reinstall any OS on my phone, LineageOS or RR or anything else to get this phone working again. As there is no physical SDcard slot, I can't put a ROM on it to flash it from TWRP.

the only ROM I've found is CM13.x found here : https://www.androidsage.com/2016/08...anogen-os-13-1-2-znh2kas3p0-update-cm-13-1-2/

is it possible to get some other ROM with all the .img files ?

adb commands do not work.

The only thing I ca do is using fasboot commands.

As far as I understood, I could use there commands :

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

BUT : when I unzip all the ROMs I've found so far, there is always a boot.img file (and the fastboot flash boot boot.img works), but there is no other IMG file in the ZIP. No system.img, no userdata.img etc

Where can I download a ROM providing these files ?

is it mandatory to flask recovery.img ? I still want to use TWRP

Many many thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] catdog:
Hi There,

It used to work fine until today when it refused to perform firmware upgrade of Galaxy S7E using the latest version of Smart Switch 4.1.17054_16.

The upgrade is from firmware QBT/QBT/QB1 to QEI/QE3/QD7.

As soon as the upgrade button is pressed a message comes up "At least 800 MB of free space is required to perform the upgrade........."

The phone is rooted and has 8.5GB of 24 GB internal memory free and 37 GB of 115 GB on the SD card.

I have tried to remove the SD card, clean the cache, run Device maintenance in Settings but cannot get pass this message.

Is there anything else that can be done to fix this error?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] JFDee:
Same here with Tab S3 - 23 GB free from 24. Initialising the device brought no change.

This has got to be a bug in Smart Switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] itzik_man:
Remove your SD card and try again it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] catdog:
The upgrade failed even with the SD card removed.

What worked was a full backup followed by emergency firmware recovery in Samsung Switch and TWRP root plus data restore.

Chainfire root stalled at Samsung logo on the latest firmware.

So perhaps this was behind the firmware upgrade failure, if Chainfire root had been removed the upgrade could have gone through fine followed by TWRP.

Is there a known issue with Chainfire root and the latest firmware?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DarkReaper90:
I have a Fiio E17K and I cannot get the device to work via USB OTG. I tried two different cables to no avail. When plugged, it lists the generic USB options, i.e. Power Supply. I confirmed the DAC works on my old LG G3.

Has anyone gotten a portable DAC to work on their phone through USB OTG?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] romeokk:
Just select Midi device when prompted then you're good to go.

I'm using Soundblaster E3.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DarkReaper90:
When I select Midi device, it immediately switches back to Power Supply. I tried 3 different cables from different brands to no avail. I can confirm the amp/dac works on the LG G4 with no issues.

I have the Canadian LG G6 and can confirm USB OTG works in general, when I used an adaptor to use a mouse.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] herzzreh:
Has anyone figured out a solution? I need to select MIDI for Fiio Q1 to be recognized and then it switches back to Power Supply.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DarkReaper90:
I managed to get my hand on another USB-C phone (Asus ZenFone3) to rule out a cable issue. DAC worked with no issues, so it is definitely a G6 issue. I'm hoping this gets patched or fixed in a future custom rom.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Darksession:
My Zuperdac works fine.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jonsim86:
Hei.. just in case you are still checking around. It may take awhile for the LG G6 to register the dac. Therefore, once you plug in. let the song play. and probably wait for up to 30sec or so. O and another thing. You may want to try and select File Transfer. It worked for me also. They did mention for older device.. you can select MTP instead.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hdtv00:
Two years later my LG G6 does exactly this...plug in my ifi DSD black label and it pops up to change connection type but it FORCES power supply no matter what you pic. And it drains the hell out of the battery. ANYONE figure this out. I see numerous post on this across LG v30 and the like do it too.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] raspabalsa:
I used a Fiio Q1 (amp & DAC) with my G6. This DAC has a charge/no charge button, setting this to off prevents draining the G6's battery. This week I upgraded to a Fiio Q1 MkII, and this newer model doesn't have the charge/no charge button, and it drains my G6's battery very quickly charging its own battery. I modded a micro USB cable after insctructions online (I can't post links to external sites, but search for "Things that you want to know about FiiO Flagship DAC & Amp Q5", scroll to the bottom of the article), I opened the micro USB connector and soldered pin 4 and 5 together. I use this cable and a regular USB-C OTG adaper, and the DAC no longer drains the G6 battery. The "Power supply" mode still appears active on the G6, but no charge is transfered to the Q1 MkII, verified because its charge LED remains off and because the G6's battery discharges at the usual rate. I don't need to change the USB mode to anything else, just leave it on "Power supply". I then spliced the OTG adapter directly to a micro USB cable, shorting pins 4&5 on the micro USB side, this way I have a short, custom cable to connect G6 & Q1 MkII.

Then I found that Fiio offers a USB-C OTG to micro USB cable for their DACs, and according to them it's built with charge disabled. I purchased one from Amazon (can't post link, search for "Fiio CL06 Type C to Micro USB OTG Cable for Fiio Q1 Mark II Q5 M7 etc"), but I'm still waiting for delivery.

Hope this helps

ts-binds

ts-binds basically make use of “bind” parameter of the “mount” available in your Android environment

Development Abandoned!

This project has been abandoned. This is because I personally do not require ts-binds anymore. Refer announcement post here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79150883&postcount=237

What does it do

Essentially, this "binding" method is widely used to save space on internal storage!

Derived from a very long-living trick for users who are struggling with the internal storage space available on their phones, while at the same time has the benefit of inserting an SD card, ts-binds will make use of already available functions on your device, to mirror a path to another path, effectively making both paths indistinguishable.

For example, if you mirror the `Download` folder on Internal with the `Stuff from Internet` folder on your SD Card, the same list of cat pictures will be shown on both directories when navigated via a file manager, and any changes will take effect on both paths but only the folder in the external path is physically modified.

This saves space because the files physically reside on the external storage instead of internal storage.

Hello

This seems to be a very odd issue, but it could be that ts-binds cannot access the folder via the hardcoded address of "/mnt/media_rw/". this is a perfect opportunity for me to troubleshoot this. Thank you for the report.

It would be great if you could run these commands (without the hashtags) on your terminal emulator and report back with the output (whether text or screenshots, your choice):

# if [ -d "/storage/7788-9789/Ogi" ]; then echo Exists; else echo Nope; fi
# ls -a1 /mnt

it would also be a great addition if you could copy the file "/proc/mounts" and attach it here.

And may I know what device are you using and the respective ROM version?

EDIT: never mind, when i return from work today i will create an exclusive simple troubleshooting script for you! ;) This is to ease the troubleshooting.

----

I have to say something weird is happening. The terminal should say the directory exists on the location i mentioned.

From the way you present your things, it seemed that you know what you are doing and is good with terminal. Could you report if you can "ls Ogi" when you changed the working directory to "/mnt/media_rw/7788-9789", "/storage/7788-9789" and "/mnt/ext_sdcard"?

Out of curiosity, I have seen issues in regards to sdcardfs with Magic Folder Binder module, and is wondering if your issue also has to do with it. Please run "grep sdcardfs /system/build.prop" and return me the output. Just some extra for fun note: My module isn't really ready to handle issues with sdcardfs and i may need to implement Magic Folder Binder's methods (persist off for build prop entry)

Also make sure the Ogi folder still exists tho lel ?

Sorry for having the commands not enclosed in the code tags. I am replying to this on the go

[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
Thank you for the output. It seemed that I may have found the issue. My script unreliably pulled the wrong sdcard serial ID when the "grep"ing was run. In your mounts the line:

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /dev/magisk/dummy/system/bin/79b77788-9789-4a7a-a2be-b60155eef5f4.sec ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

came first before the sdcard mounting line:

/dev/block/vold/public:179:193 /mnt/media_rw/7EB2-43FD vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007,allow_utime=0020,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

The first line contains sequences of which matches my regular expression here:

sdname=$(grep -m 1 -Eo "[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{4}" /proc/mounts)

Possible fix: Reliably get the whole "media_rw" line before extracting SD card's serial

Thank you again. ??
[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
Thank you for the report again and apologies for the new issue. I have able to pinpoint the issue and it seems to be a grammar error for bash.

I have corrected the issue and this is another test package for you to test: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByQKilNkFEpAaW02RGJoRUZGcUU

The reason why the content didn't show up was because no binding process were made. As you can see in the log, there is no "Binding all entries". Hopefully this one will finally squash the issue!

As you may notice, the "beta" also contains some changes, mainly just some cleanup and a new description.
[Magisk] ogisha:
Everything went fine according to log file.

Now Ogi folder on internal sdcard has disappeared and file 0 bytes long named Ogi appeared.

Folder Ogi on external sdcard stayed untouched.

Thanks again. ?
[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
This is abnormal. :( For the first patch, I could blame myself for not testing it myself before publishing it to you. The reason was because i did a simple test on the terminal on nested command substitution ( $() ) and it worked, so I called it a job done. However I didn't expect it to not work if the nested command substitution is placed as a conditional, hence the past issue. The second revision fixed this by well, not using nested command substitution. The second version is personally tested and my folders are now binded correctly and working as expected like 1.0.4

Also, please tell me what file manager are you using.

I think this must have to do with the ROM or the kernel, since the modifications that I did to try to fix your previous issues was just related to how SD card serial ID is pulled. Let's check if the system recognises the folder via terminal.

cd /storage/emulated/0
ls -al | grep Ogi

check if the output is similar to this:

drwxrwx--x 1 root sdcard_rw 131072 2017-08-17 04:25 Ogi

Emphasis on the "drwxr-xr-x". If yours is similar, then continue below. Otherwise please report that it didnt.

Great! It seems that most probably it has something to do with the ROM, but not with the kernel. Next, I'd like for you to "cd" into it, then create a text file by running this simple line:

echo date > text.txt

Now, check if the text file exists on SD Card folder, by using a file manager.
[Magisk] ogisha:
I am using MiXplorer file manager. I had tried Total Commander, but results are the same.

Here is the output:

HWEVA:/ $ cd /storage/emulated/0

HWEVA:/storage/emulated/0 $ ls -al | grep Ogi

ls: ./Ogi: Cross-device link

1|HWEVA:/storage/emulated/0 $

Obviously, there is no text file. ?

BTW, when I delete Ogi file on internal sdcard, put folderbind line in folder list under comment and reboot, Ogi folder on internal sdcard reappears.

Output:

1|HWEVA:/storage/emulated/0 $ cd Ogi

/system/bin/sh: cd: /storage/emulated/0/Ogi: Cross-device link

2|HWEVA:/storage/emulated/0 $ cd ./Ogi

/system/bin/sh: cd: /storage/emulated/0/Ogi: Cross-device link

2|HWEVA:/storage/emulated/0 $

Thank you for your patience.
[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
Sorry for the length of time i took to reply. I have been busy

Hmm.. This is not a bug, but rather an incompatibility. Huge chances that your kernel may contain modifications different from the norm. But let's see if I can workaround from the current method, since the terminal says it's a cross-device link. For this, I need a single file /proc/mounts to be inspected. Can you hand me that file, please?

I am also assuming that your kernel does support binding folders (default and expected behaviour across linux kernels).
[Magisk] ogisha:
Please see what you can do.

Mounts attached.

Thank you.
[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
After a closer look, it seems that your device really does have sdcardfs turned on!

Let's use a simple buildprop entry to turn it off, hopefully it will work (although i know this seems so simple). You may use this new beta: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByQKilNkFEpAcmVxbkhsaUhSRHM
