[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xyourxhighnessx:
Im newer to using the pro mode and even newer to a dual camera setup.

Sometimes I get great photos on the first try and other times I spend lots of time tweaking my settings and still not getting the perfect shot.

Is there any tips or settings or even a link to tips for taking a better shot with pro mode im sure others (and myself) would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have my phone rooted (originally it was king root but I managed to get SUroot on it) and have TWRP recovery installed, other than that my phone is stock. Yesterday I got a notice that there was an OTA update. I tried it out of curiosity but it failed with no harm done just an error. Does anyone know what the update is? Is it worth reverting to stock for?

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I'm not an expert, but from what I know, rollback is not possible because our system get splited in two after you go nougat (system and new_system. This is a part of the new android upgrade/update fast process).

So when you try to fastboot flash a marshmallow img you can't, because it is too large for the new partition size. The only way a rollback would work would be if you flash a new gpt and then MM img.

What exactly is this file?

hello xda members im currently new to android phones and i just rooted my device week ago and there is a security update im currently having today i tried to use that app called flashfire and it detected the new update but when i click flash it gives me this msg "WARNING: it has been detected that you may be trying to flash a block-level OTA but your /system /vendor or /oem partition has been modified this will likely cause the flash to fail!" what should i do﻿ :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nontheoretical:
What I would recommend is that instead of trying to use an app like flashfire, get comfortable with an unlocked device and custom recovery. Read through some tutorials and really get to know what each step is for, because if the process is automated by an app there is a higher chance something will go wrong and then you're hit with cryptic messages like the one you posted.

Google them yourself, but check out the following:

- good TWRP practices (backup, flash, test, repeat)

- fastboot and adb (part of Google's official android platform tools)

- titanium backup (root app that backs up your apps and data, free version works great)

- common flashables (ROMs, kernels, GApps, SuperSU/Magisk, mods, etc.)

Oh, and PLEASE read at least the first post and the last few pages of a thread before you try anything new, and use the nifty thread search button before posting a question, just in case it's been asked and solved already.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwfire:
i did read about some of this stuff, so if i installed a custom recovery i can update my android system normally without loosing root and without any apps?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Yes you can. FF is easy to use and is very well tested on Nexus devices. I suggest you use the full image rather than OTA. Use the flash firmware package button. On the Partition page check System, Boot and Vendor. Don't check secondary bootloader, recovery or modem firmware. Next page make sure EverRoot and preserve recovery are selected. Flash. You will retain root and custom recovery. No data, apps or settings will be lost. There is an entire thread dedicated to FF here. FF is a godsend for monthly updates on rooted Nexus devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang350:
Ok so this has probably been asked before, but I'm coming up at a loss.

I need to modify the update-script file in a signed, oem update.zip without damaging the signature in order to unbrick my wife's ZTE z980l, (stuck in recovery and going nowhere) by flashing the firmware from a ZTE z987. They are the exact same phone, only the z987 is branded for cricket. Unfortunately, ZTE has never released an update for the z980l, or I would just flash that.

SO! Is there any way to remove the line in the update-script file containing "getprop("ro.product.device")...etc..." without damaging the signature?

This is the support page with the download link for the update file https://www.zteusa.com/zte-grandx-maxplus?___SID=U
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
So you want to change the product detection to your device or just remove the detection all together.

I can see what I can do. I've got a way to do it and keep it signed but, it's a tough process to explain (for the way i can do it).

I'll grab the file and let you know with the modified zip download for you but, no guarantees.

You, my friend, are my hero and savior. And even if it doesn't work, thank you for trying. I've posted half a dozen topics on as many boards over the last week and not a single (helpful) reply.

As for the product detection, I'd say just remove it altogether, since I'm not exactly sure on how the device titles itself in the build.prop. So I figure the first few lines that have ro.build.product or ro.product.device in them, except for the line that says it's name is 'cygni', since each rebranded version of the phone shares that name, and I'm not sure if it requires the device type to be declared. If it's not needed then, by all means, drop it in the round file (trash it)

Thanks again.

Hello again!

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you.

I just edited the updater-script file within the update.zip archive without unpacking/repacking the archive so the signature looks like it is good to go.

I just removed the following entry and left the rest...

get_device_compatible("cygni") == "OK" || abort("This package is for "cygni" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "P862A11_CRICKET");

ui_print("Target fingerprint is zte/P862A11_CRICKET/cygni:5.1/LMY47I/20150720.115649:user/release-keys.");

I'll upload the new update.zip file tomorrow to my file host account for you to try.

Would opening the modified file up in a hex editor and replacing the signature portion with the info from an unmodified file work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
I just found 1 other culprit...

It's not the signature of the archive but, the signature match between the device and the update.

It looks like it an update for 2 (so far from what I had found) similar devices.

Basically, the device it's for looks like there was a couple of versions to it.

It did find a metadata file that reflects a device detection also.

Are you sure that this update is compatible with the device you're trying to install it on?

If the update does flash and even 1 piece of hardware is slightly different from the driver software that installs could, potentially, brick up the device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang350:
Yes, I know the update is for another version of the phone. But the only difference between the z980l and the z987, is one is unlocked, and the other is branded for Cricket. Same specs for both.

And honestly, the phone is stuck in a recovery loop and won't boot to the OS no matter what I do, so even if it bricks it, it's already useless as it is, so no big deal.

The only reason I'm having to go this route, is ZTE never released a firmware update for the z980l (which is the one I'm trying to resurrect) and they will not provide me with a stock version to flash myself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang350:
I'm thinking though, that it's just an issue with the method you used to modify the script file, because when I try to flash the update for the z987 it passes the signature verification just fine, then errors saying assert failed: getprop("roproductname") == "p862a11_cricket"

Package mismatch

I have rooted firetv 1 with latest rBox pre-rooted ROM. I have noticed if I put the box in sleep mod for a while, it will change to TWRP recovery screen when wake it up. I have to reboot it every time in order to back to normal. Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Most folks that have had this problem is because they did not block updates properly. And you have an update in the hopper. And TWRP being your last line of defense is blocking the installation of that update since it is not a PreRooted ROM. So each time your device is idle it tries to install the update. And TWRP stops it at reboot.

Luckily there are solutions.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-stop...rom-installing-on-a-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/

And at the very least do Method 1. But both Method 1 & Method 5 are what is recommended to stop this from happening in the future.

Thanks you very much. I believe I did one BEFORE flash to new pre-root ROM. I tried to do it again this morning, found the superuser is not there anymore after flash to pre-root ROM from rbox.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
If you are able to still go into TWRP. I would try to flash the latest PreRooted ROM using a USB Stick. Also make sure you include a MD5 for safety. DO NOT WIPE anything but Dalvik Cache & Cache. See if that restores your PreRooted FW back to normal. This is just a guess since it has never happened to me before.

Maybe someone with this problem the fixed things can chime in. Others that this has had happened to did not have access to TWRP.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattleweather:
FIXED!!!

I tried to install superuser apk , but failed. Since I still have access to TWRP, I installed with flashable superuser. Then I cleared OTA and blocked the updates again with your suggestion. I did Method 1 before, but forgot to do it again after update. Thank you very much!!!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
np, glad it is back to normal.

Method 1 helps when you flash a new PreRooted ROM. And Method 5 helps to make sure your FW version is never low enough to think an update would apply to your device. Method 5 needs to be redone when ever you flash a ROM. And Method 1 must be redone when ever you factory reset thru TWRP or clean more then the Dalvik Cache & Cache thru TWRP. NEVER do a factory reset from FireOS 5. Only use TWRP for that.

Forgot to add. NEVER INCLUDE SYSTEM IN ANY OF YOUR WIPES. Flashing a PreRooted ROM will take care of System. So leave it alone. Most bricks happen because folks wipe SYSTEM & they do not Flash a PreRooted ROM before doing a reboot.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Am I the only one prefering Note 7 design over Note 8 bezel less design? I mean, when I look at the galaxy s8 and s8 plus or the upcoming Note 8 that so called "Bezel less" design doesn't look organic.

The design looks overly crowded on top with camera, iris scanner, speaker, like they couldn't find anywhere else to put those so they just stuff it there to make more room for the screen. It's not elegant or simple. It's messy. There's no symmetry.

Yes, a big screen is always nice and welcomed, but the resolution is so unusual that it doesn't even fit most formats. So you get black bezels anyway.

------- The Note 7 however is simple. Not as pretentious as the s8 series. And its display is clear and clean and yet, it still manages to show freedom on the sides.

S8 "bezel less" design is not there yet. It's like some "freak" phone which tries to be bezel less but can't. It feels "uncomfortable"...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Paninno12:
I have the S8 and my wife the S7 edge. When looking at them side by side, I find the S7 edge nicer to look at. The S8 design is rather plain when screen is off. But when using the phones, the S8 is much nicer to use. What makes it better IMO is the rounded corner, not so much the bezel less.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] force70:
I do prefer the 16:9 screen aspect ratio on the the note 7 over my s8 plus...seems too long and skinny but i have gotten used to it.

I also dont like the black front of the S8s and prefer the back and front being the same colour as on the note 7....the black front looks boring.

The S7 and note 7 series are the best looking devices ever made IMO

Not having bezels is great but they can do that without the first 2 things i mentioned.

sent from my S8 plus, S7 edge or S6

I use to think the same way too. But after owning the Note 8 for 7 months. I can honestly say that I have gotten use to it. Don't get me wrong the curve edges are still a major eyesore during media consumption. But otherwise Samsung's new Infinity Display design is pretty good.

Resized screenshot running official 20170707 nightly:

[IMG="XT875 About / Resized 360x640"]https://u.nya.is/hrqhxy.png[/IMG]

I've been using Lineage 14.1 on my Bionic since early May and have been using my Bionic as my daily-driver smartphone with Lineage since the end of June.

The only minor bug I'm finding, and I'm not sure if this is an omap4 device issue or if this is generally how it is on LineageOS no matter what, but the cell carrier isn't showing up as Verizon on mine.

instead, it shows up as "USA-480" pointing to the MNC and possibly not decoding it properly? APN listing is proper. data/phone/4G-LTE all work flawlessly so I'm under the impression this is just a bug someplace, however Data Usage from the status bar pull-down does say "No Service" no matter what.

[IMG="USA-480"]https://u.nya.is/tnooft.png[/IMG]

Other than this and the memory leak which I believe to have been fixed now in the 0707 nightly, I haven't noticed anything that would disrupt usage.

Current Root add-on from the LineageOS Site at https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip DOES install on omap4 properly, contrary to the information above.

install via Safestrap TWRP normally.

My recommendation to anyone using this ROM on their Bionic is to make sure you have at least a 32GB MicroSD card installed for storage as onboard storage is slightly limited with safestrap ROM slot partitions the way they are, and if you haven't acquired one already, get one of the third-party 4000mAh extended battery packs with the extended cover. this adds bulk but also makes the phone easier to hold in the hand, aside from some extra juice to make the most of your Nougat-running Bionic for longer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sudosftw:
A bug I've noticed with in the 20170728 ROM and before, if I leave my phone on and use it normally for about a week, it gets to the point that saved images from apps like Discord or pictures taken through either the normal Camera app or OpenCamera are no longer seen in the filesystem until the phone has been rebooted.

Likewise, a bug since the end of May or thereabouts for me has been images in the camera folders (be it OpenCamera or the regular Camera app) tend to show up as 0kb files when accessing the phone in MTP transfer mode. it makes it hard for me as I then have to boot into Safestrap to get pictures off my phone in any reasonable amount of time or quantity.

But when I I moved on to Note 3 I didnt look back. I just un rooted my bionic and moved it over to Jelly bean 4.12. But I'm happy to see as well, that there some users still on there and Roms still coming out. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sudosftw:
Crossposting this from the Razr/MAXX thread since this is vital information that will save users on Verizon a lot of headaches:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sudosftw:
Support has ended.

LineageOS no longer officially supports this device.

You are now officially on your own.

You can find the final builds here: http://droid.cs.fau.de/Official_Lineage_Builds/

or here (MEGA Mirror)

These directories include the ROM files, addonsu package for 14.1, and the weather provider APK if needed.

I'm expecting this information to hit the OP post very soon.

It was a good run. These phones lasted many more years than they were intended to in the wild, and with Verizon killing 3G support for non-VoLTE devices later this year, they will become useless in the United States on their network. They are likely already useless on most others. Their time is up. I suggest anyone at all still holding on with one of these as a daily driver to consider your upgrades very very soon.

Goodbye Moto.
