[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Velathawen:
I honestly don't think the issue is a bad flash but looking around it might be region conflict.

I got my tablet off Amazon but I'm using it in Asia at the moment. I wonder if I can get away with flashing the local firmware for the device as I want to hold off rooting until I'm sure the tablet is problem free.

Edit - just flashed an Asian firmware and everything works fine

I sent a email to waze development team and they said they are looking if there are some problem. Also, I hope maybe the update (android 7.1.1) that is near the corner may resolve the problem. Also this problem is not everytime, since yesterday reboot it is working normally. Very strange.

I had a couple of phones from different well known brands. Been disapointed couple of times. Ive decided to go in another direction. Xiaomi.

I just bought the Mi Note 2 6gb (just got shipped) and to be honest, i never been so anxious to get a phone ! Cant wait to experience MIUI and Xiaomi world. This sexy beast just looks awesome.

Been using a LG G5 for a year and its the worse phone ive had so far. Not to mention that no root is available for my model !

Anyways glad im back in the custom zone ;)

[HTC Wings] luckyland:
I installed Facade and chose a green theme.

Anyone knows if it is possible (and how) to change the background color of HTC apps (comm manager, for example), so that they better integrate in the new theme?
[HTC Wings] Mark Hewitt:
Or my question how to just change them completely?!
[HTC Wings] JJM_730:
The connection manager has a bunch of .png files in the \windows directory on the device. These should be hackable with a graphics program and be displayed after the device is reset.

To customize the rest of your normal (non-HTC) WM programs, see http://www.modaco.com/content/Smartphone-General-Discussion/236832/Homescreen-guide-for-beginners/
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Most of the styles are saved in XML files which you can edit with web page writing tools. As such you should be able to see the path's to the graphical files and then just change their color.

Would think so, havnt looked yet but I am planning on changing my home screen to a nice blue. I like the HTC look, but a soft blue would be better than grey IMO.
[HTC Wings] luckyland:
Well, at last it seems it was rather simple changing the colors of my Facade theme: I've converted it from green to grey editing the xml file and modifying a few gifs with Gimp.

So it's all grey now, and HTC apps are again integrated with the overall style.

Thanks.
[HTC Wings] A.Bagatov:
post us ur theme. would be cool :)
[HTC Wings] luckyland:
Here it is.

But it's no other than the original facade style, with changed colors and a cool (I think) background...

(I didn't change the profile gifs cause I don't use this plugin)

I've been checking some recent partial web traffic logs for my Joying Intel SoFIA 3GR JY-UL135N2 and I've noticed the following web traffic:

Anyone here notice the same? These are all chinese webpages, and SinaApp.com = a weibo webpage of some sort. Carbit seems to be related to Baidu.

Why does this keep coming up? Is this the android software "phoning home"?
[Android Auto General] leonkernan:
wxlink could be a weather related service.

according to this post, the carsql one looks like a backdoor to me, with remote ability to add and remove apk files.
[Android Auto General] gtxaspec:
The guys who design the FYT/SYU based units (sofia and others) designed and sell a complete app ecosystem, including their own app store and account management system. Some rom's have left over files, like carui.apk or carmarket.apk, appupdate.apk etc, that still attempt to connect to the carsql server's. Although outside of their home market in china, all of these services are not functional. FYT/SYU are ODM's for these units, so as a customer of theirs, you license pieces of their software, which could include user tracking for data mining purposes among other things. Outside of china, I wouldn't worry about it. Use titanium to disable any other packages which you deem not useful. From decompiling the APK's, it doesn't seem like there are any backdoors. there is a ROM update, as well as a package update management system that they run. http://www.fyttek.com/series/service.html FYI.
[Android Auto General] CaptShaft:
Duly noted, thanks.

The best way forward is to block those URL's in AdAway, and the problem goes away. "Leaky" apps, apk's and firmware set the stage for data mining on the low end of the threat spectrum to enabling hacking and mass surveillance on the other side of the spectrum.

Best to cut it off at the knees wherever possible.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WindFuch:
Hey there!

I am trying to flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 into my Xperia SP using ADB and apparently it cannot find the "recovery" partition. I've found out I can flash into "boot" instead but my question is, is there a way ( or should I even try) to fix this? I've tried Emma but my device is not supported. It's bootloader is unlocked and I am using Lineage OS 7.1

As far as I've searched in the forums ( https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/recovery-partition-xz-ultra-flashing-t3453568 ), at least for Xperia Z, it means the bootloader I originaly flashed used a "boot" partition instead of "recovery", right?

The final goal of this quest is to relock my bootloader so Sony Companion can reinstall the original firmware and get it as original as possible.

I am new here and, I hope I am posting this in the right section and I did my research right. This forum is so big it is a little overwhelming.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuchsXSP:
flash recovery into boot

Hi,

I have a similar question: I want to flash LineageOS 14.1 to my Xperia SP Android 4.3 Build 12.1.A.1.205. I have unlock the Bootloader with the Code from developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader

When I want to flash "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-huashan.img" , it can not find the recovery partition.

Is it really possible to "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.1.1-0-huashan.img"??? :confused: After I have done this, I can reboot normally and TWRP will start? Then I will be able to install LineageOS?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WindFuch:
Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at right now. Whenever I flash TWRP into my Xperia SP using " fastboot flash boot twrp****.img" it works but when the phone boots the TWRP is all that is on the phone. It will not boot into the system. But then, when I install the OS using TWRP, the OS overwrites TWRP and I am back to the old cyanogenmod bootloader.

So answering your questions:

Yeah that's pretty much how it is done. At least on my Xperia SP. ( I love this phone btw XD)

Yeah it will only boot into TWRP. You probably wont have access to to your system anymore.

Yeah, just press Install, select the file, and swipe that cool looking safety slider and it should be fine. Beware though older versions of LineageOS had some problems with zip signatures, just make sure to have the newest nightly version (07/12/2017 I guess) and you should be fine.

I have to say though, as anything with android modding, do at your own risk =p.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcom:
Here is the solution (at least, the one that worked for me)

I had similar problem - my phone was booting either into Lineage or TWRP, but I had to switch these using ADB commands.

Then I found an application in the Google Play store which can repair this. Look for "TWRP Manager (Requires ROOT)" - from Jmz Software. Free version is good enough.

I installed it and then when I tried to select the option to install TWRP, it tried to install, then complained that there is some problem with my configuration and it looks that it has been repaired. (I'm sorry for not repeating exact messages here, I was doing this about month ago, but when you install this application, the rest is quite self - explanatory).

Anyway, try this. Now my Xperia SP is booting flawlessly - Lineage or TWRP, of course "Reboot to Recovery" option in Lineage also is working correctly !
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Xperia SP does not have a dedicated recovery partition like most of other Android phones and a newer Xperia variant. To workaround, the developers of this device have been using different ways of implementing recoveries, the latest and working one is by loading the recovery into our FOTAKernel partition, which is a partition that plays an important role during Stock OTA updates.

Since such a partition serve absolute no purpose when you ventured into custom ROMing, the idea of making use of it for recovery is quite neat. This "feature" is Adrian DC's implementation.

To answer to your question, no, you cannot flash a recovery using fastboot (or any other tools that makes use of fastboot). The options provided by the tool is only limited to partition names, not addresses. You can though, download the FOTA zip from the TWRP thread, and then flash them in the recovery (the one that you booted into because it was installed in /boot). Then re-flash the ROM zip so that the boot image of the ROM gets flashed properly.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuchsXSP:
It works

Hi,

I have success. On my Xperia SP is now LineageOS 14.1

1. Unlock Bootloader via Sony

2. fastboot flash boot twrp-3.1.1-0-huashan.img

3. reboot SP into twrp

4. wipe and install lineagesOS and opengapps

5. reboot

Now, i can access twrp with second recovery mode (FOTA)

Thanks for your help!! :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scruffy1:

sorry to need to bump this thread, but i am having similar issues - i have successfully flashed twrp-huashan as shown in the post above, but on rebooting into twrp, wiping and installing adrian's oreo build, i lose access to twrp

attempting to boot to recovery shows a very brief droid on its back, and then tells me to choose to boot to system or recovery, neitherof which get me back to twrp

any suggestions, as i do not understand why this is so

Well, that's it. The blue light indicates fastboot/recovery mode on the Xperia Z. You can now connect the Xperia to a computer via USB, then run e.g. 'fastboot devices' and it should list your Xperia. Or run 'fastboot flash recovery <image filename>' to flash TWRP onto the Xperia.

[Galaxy S6 Active] fantasticrat:
Hi,

My brother asked me to fix his S6 Active, which was stuck in bootloop for no reason. When I reset it, he still had Reactivation Lock turned on, and then when I asked for his Samsung password to get back into the phone he instead deleted the Samsung account. Now the account on the phone is a nonexistent account. Any idea how to fix this? When I got him to reactivate his Samsung account, I got a bit further in the startup process (it now says "signing in" but then nothing happens afterward). Is Samsung likely to fix this or is the phone a loss?

I've fixed numerous bricked phones, but I'm stumped on this one.

but obviously as with many gps units...you need to have a clear view (or pretty good contact) of the sky....it'll work in a building with many windows (tall big windows like a school) or whatever...but i'm almost guaranteed a gps hit if i open my car window and let it search for a bit (then roll it up as its cold here in md) and/or jus outside in the street...

I'm not 100% sure if that actually fixed it anyway, it could have been a coincidence. Couldn't hurt to try, if it happens again I'm going to try just that to see if it actually helps. This time I also did a soft-reset and just let it sit for a few hours, so its hard to tell what actually fixed it.
