[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillje:
Hello xda,

I made my android data backups usually with the App "sshelper", a adb port forwarding to ssh over the cable (faster connection as wifi) and start rsync to have a full "backup" from my internal "sdcard".

Now I need my backup an start my rsync command in the other way. In the last step of my rsync it trys to set the timestamps (nice for gallery app if its not "today" for all pictures) but it fails.

I tried to start the process another way. Make a tar with preserved timestamps and untar with adb shell.. same problem.

Unpacking with my favored file explorer (Solid Explorer) fails again...

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Mobile Device: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge G-925F, Android 7.0

*edit:

After a little more searching on my local system (mobilephone) I can see the filesystem is mounted with "noatime":

data/media on /storage/emulated type sdcardfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,low_uid=1023,low_gid=1023,gid=1015,multi_user,mask=0006,reserved=20MB)

Any idea to change this?

thx

You format data on twrp after install twrp?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] TheNamesJohn:
You could try to restart to recovery via TWRP and be sure to unplug usb-c cable prior of doing that then try flashing something.

If that's not working you can try the Format data button in the Wipe/Advanced wipe section, afterwards wipe everything, connect the phone to the PC (while in TWRP) and transfer ROM, GApps... via adb push. Try flashing the ROM again, if it's not working again remove the cable and restart recovery - flash again.

I encountered this kind of problem and these techniques seemed to solve it.

Hi,

I need your help as i can't get my Honor 8 (FRD-L09) unbricked:

1) It worked fine with firmware FRD-L09432B389 (except Bluetooth that won't be activated)

2) I flashed it with Lineage 14.1 using this website:

http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/

3) It worked well but I got a strange message at bootup: To start Android please enter your password. This is probably due to encryption of prior partition. I made a format Data and wipe Data partition but it didn't helped.

No i still have access to TWRP but i'm unable to flash with any rom:

1) 3-Button force update mode doesn't work (it doesn't go the the update mode, even though dload/update.zip is existing on SD Card)

2) When i Try Unbrick mode from Huawei Multi-Tool i get this error message:

FAILED (remote: error partition error)

Hi,

I'm trying to flash through adb sideload. I activated the ADB Sideload in TWRP As well. The transfer worked correctly.

In attachment the log of flash.

I tried to flash these stock roms:

FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip (1,3Gb)

FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip (1,1Gb)

My Honor 8 is from Europe, meaning these flash should be correct.

In the log i noticed these messages:

failed to mount /data: Device or resource busy

unmount of /system failed: no such volume

unmount of /cust failed: no such volume.

What do you think?

Thanks!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sebastien_be:
Yes it took approximately 50 seconds each.

For HW EU i got this message: Total xfer: 1,07x

For Update : Total xfer: 1,00x

No it is stuck at blue screen with Honor

When i'm in TWRP, I go to Wipe and Advanced Wipe:

- Dalvik / Art Cache: Invalid Partition Selection (when i click Repair of Change File System)

- Cache: ext4 - 247Mb (0Mb used)

- Data: f2fs - 24662Mb (0Mb used)

- Vendor: ext4 - 579Mb (481Mb used)

- Micro SD Card: vfat 59624Mb (6081Mb used)

Is it normal Internal Storage shows Invalid Partition Selection ?

What should i do after flashing both zip files (with adb sideload) ? Go to eRecovery and connect to Wifi?

Thanks,
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sebastien_be:
After flashing both zip files the welcome screen is stuck at blue screen with Honor Logo.

From this i went back to TWRP to Flash with Lineage 14.1:

- I firstly got a screen that says encryption is unsuccessful and i need to click to reset phone

- I got a second screen that looks to Recovery Screen and that Reset phones (takes 1-2minutes-

- I have a third screen saying: To start Android, enter your password.

I don't have that password since it is converted from fingerprint i assume.

Can you please details how to do this:

I must after flash boot to stock eRecovery and here do factory reset, u have this choice in?

Phone unbricked??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sebastien_be:
No Phone still not unbricked.

What i'm trying to do know is:

- Install TWRP 3.1.1.1 by OpenKirinProject on eRecovery partitition (Should i try Recovery Partition ?)

- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip file

- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip file

- Wipe Cache/Dalvik

-In TWPR, click Reboot - Recovery

- In Recovery, choose wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition.

- Reboot fingers crossed

But i still have significant issues:

Failed to mount /cust (Invalid Argument)

Failed to mount /vendor (Invalid Argument)

Failed to mount /product (Invalid Argument)

Any additional help, please do not hesitate!

In my opinion all the issues i have is because partitions that are corrupted i think. Not sure if they are recovered only by installing full flash zip file.

Thanks very much for your help !

Any questions, please shoot.

Thanks very much,
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
Go on :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sebastien_be:
Yes but it's not as easy as that for different reasons:

1) First of all thanks for your help and for your post (that explains how to unbrick) but as everyone has is own understanding and knowledge/experience level in these topics, your post lacks precise steps. Example: When you say "Flash firmware for your model" should be: Click install, select your firmware in ZIP format and click Install image. For your level this seems probably obvious but it's not for everyone.

2) Even though, it is not always working. Right now i bricked my phone again by trying to install Lineage 14.1. I just recovered it but it is again multiple steps in TWRP, sometimes clicking there and there, and it works sometimes with chance. I have the feeling that we still don't know 100% sure what to do in which case to have 100% success rate.

Now i have my phone fully working in B389, Bluetooth also.

Does anyone know how to install Lineage 14.1 ? Here is the link for Honor 8:

http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/

Because they explain:

Wipe data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Format the System partition.

Again that's not precise:

1) Wipe Data Factory Reset ?? Does that mean:

a) Click Wipe & Swipe to Factory Reset

b) Click Wipe - Click Advanced wipe - Select Data & Swipe to Wipe

2) Cache Partition & Dalvik Cache means : Click Wipe - Click Advanced Wipe - Select Dalvik Cache + Cache & Swipe to Wipe

3) Format the system Partition : Click Wipe, Click Advanced Wipe, Select System, Swipe to Wipe ??

Because i just tried to do it (according to my understanding) and i got bootloop and access to TWRP only.

Thanks for your help.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mains75:
So I finally set my X Compact.

I have 6.0.1 firmware with unlocked bootloader, root with Magisk, Twrp, Androplus kernel, Xposed, Nova Launcher...

Everything is nice as z3 compact and better: battery so far, much better camera (z3c sucks...), faster system, fingerprint...more ram etc...

But 3 things I have to solve for a perfect device:

- Sound speakers: It is not very high. I would like a sound boost app working, or a system mod, but I can't find it...

- Torch light is very low. Can't find a way to modify that. Here there is a thread: https://xdaforums.com/x-compact/help/increasing-torch-power-root-t3637773

- Call recording issue. interlocutor's voice is usually too high and distorted... (This is the most annoing fact...!)... Software Developers says is a system issue...

That's it so far. I wonder if I update firmware to 7.1.2 can fix some. But Xposed is still not working propely on that Android version...

Hope some can help me...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Halftrack:
Can't look it up right now but if you google it it's easy to find. You can make the speakers louder by opening up a particular system folder with root explorer. The default value for max volume is 83. Change that to 93 or 94 and you will see a huge difference. Don't recommend setting the value higher than that though because at 100 you risk blowing a speaker.

P.S. mixer_paths.xml is what your looking for. "speaker" and "headphone" are the area you want. For speaker change the 83 to 93 or 94, for headphone if it's at 15 bump it up to 20.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mains75:
I found that file, but I can't find that value.

I attached it View attachment 4239925

Thanks

PS. Maybe is it Rx1,rx2,rx3 digital volume?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Halftrack:
<path name="speaker"><ctl name="RX3 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1"/><ctl name="SPK" value="Switch"/></path>

<path name="wsa-speaker"><ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1"/><ctl name="RDAC2 MUX" value="RX1"/><ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84"/><ctl name="WSA Spk Switch" value="WSA"/><ctl name="SpkrMono WSA_RDAC" value="Switch"/></path>

Change the 84 in the RX1 Digital Volume value to a 93. Save it then reboot the phone. Been to lazy to root my compact so I cant test it myself but that should do it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mains75:
Thankyou I will try and I'll tell you!!

I wonder if I can solve the recording call issue with this file, too.

I see "voice rx gain" ...maybe if I give a minor value it does not create distortions with call recording...the issue is with interlocutor's voice only...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Halftrack:
Side note if for some reason that didn't work scroll down a couple lines and change the handset RX1 Digital Volume Value from 84 to 93 as well. Reboot and see what happens. Just always go with small changes, especially when going up in volume. I have never taken a compact higher than 94 due to risk of blowing a speaker.

As for the voice thing you can play with values just write the numbers down in case it doesn't work out so you can put it back to default value. Though I am not sure what distortion or loudness your getting from the callers end because I haven't noticed anything like that on mine. Granted it's still running stock though just with a flashed firmware for the fingerprint sensor.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mains75:
I changed the speaker value only. I think it works. Speaker volume seems to be louder. Now it's night, I can't test correctly :D

Voice calling is ok. The issue is when you record the call and you listen to it. My recorded sound voice is ok, the other caller voice is distorted. But during the live call everything is ok.

Also bt calling and recording is ok.

You can try with this app: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Halftrack:
Try using Boldbeast from the playstore. I think it has a free trial version. See if that makes a difference on sound quality. Might just be a compatibility issue between that app and the phone.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] itslels:
For the money, it can't be beat really. Things to consider though are a lackluster camera and screen. They are both serviceable, but not top of the line by any means. The screen is almost unseeable in direct sunlight with brightness all the way up. The camera is just lackluster all the way around.

...however, the battery life is something dreams are made of and makes it easier to overlock its other short comings. If I had to buy it again, I would.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bennor3814:
Without knowing your provider, your typical phone usage and other requirements we can do nothing but a guess if the G5 Plus would be worth buying... for you.

For me, very light voice usage, very light texting, occasional email checking and web surfing the phone has been great. Gone as long as five days between charges. Its quick with no lags (64GB non Amazon Prime subsidized version). For me the camera is adequate and works fairly well when used properly. Overall I'm currently very happy with the phone.

The only downsides are the two major issues with this phone that Moto/Lenovo has yet to address and which are well discussed in other threads (and on the Lenovo support site). Low speaker volume on the headset and garbled calls when VoLTE is enabled on Verizon Wireless. That and the fact its still on Android 7.0 is another mark against it. No word in site from Moto/Lenovo on when or even if the two major issues with the phone will be fixed or when they will release security updates for Android. :mad:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sic0048:
My wife and I have both been on LG G3s for the last several years. They were released about the same time as your Grand 2. My wife's phone started to have hardware issues, so it was time to get her something else. For a mid range phone at a bargain price, I think the G5 is a great choice. We got the 32gb non ad version off Amazon for $180. You can't go wrong at that price IMHO. Obviously it won't compete with today's flagship phones for things like the camera, but it will be far and away better than your Grand 2's camera. She loves the finger print reader and we never used NFC (which is really the only feature missing from the G5 plus), so it was a great choice for her.
