Somebody please help
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Try an alternative route.

Fully flash a stock ftf .291. Everything will be up to date then and you'll have the latest bootloader.

Then try two things.

First try fastboot flashing the latest TWRP from Nailyk.

Then boot to recovery holding power and volume keys as you boot and it will boot directly to recovery.

You could also try fully flashing an ftf.

Then use adb to fastboot flash a custom stock based kernel like advanced kernel which includes TWRP 3.0.2.

Use that to boot to recovery the old way and voila you have recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikhlaq737373:
Are you talking about the .291 ftf obtained from xperifirm ? Does that include the bootloader ?

I'll try the second solution(advanced kernel), thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Yeah that's the one. At the least it will set your phone back to factory settings and you can just start all he root tutorials from the beginning.

Option 2 should work for you.

You should definitely make sure your adb on your PC is working and make sure fastvoot is as well. Just to be sure its not the PC side of things.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majikfox:
I realize this is a bit of a necro-post but I thought it might help someone.

At some point TWRP on the Z3 Compact switched from Volume Up+Power to enter recovery to Volume Down+Recovery.

I spent about an hour trying to get into TWRP because every bit of documentation I read said you have to "power on and then press volume up several times" to get into recovery.

However that is NOT the case.

To get into TWRP after it's been flashed you have to hold Volume Down and Power at the same time, then release Power once the screen lights up.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikhlaq737373:
Thanks dear . It (advanced kernel) worked like a charm :)

How many microphones does the osprey have? That is to say on the side of the connector of the handset you can see a hole, but where is the speaker is a microphone (I tried on voice notes in whatsapp and captures the audio from this)

My questions are:

1- How many mics does the osprey really have?

2- The hole next to the headset jack is a second mic? Does it act as the main microphone or noise canceling microphone?

I have attached an image showing which hole is;)

UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing :)

I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.

I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.

done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!

Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.

No help from Xiaomi.

I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] RKStyles:
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.

Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.

But then, maybe something might work out for you.

The steps I tried or know of:

1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.

2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.

3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.

4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".

5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.

6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.

7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.

8. Now try unlocking.

I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.

In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theagentofchaos:
Hi,

My apologies if this is an obvious question but I'm a new Galaxy S8 user and I've gone through these forums extensively before giving up and making this post

I had someone bring along a Samsung Galaxy S8 from the US to India, and it seems to be working like charm. They ordered it online and picked up the unlocked international variant (SM-G950F)

In the Service Provider Software I see 'INS/INS/TPA'. I assume INS/INS was set because I popped in an Indian sim. TPA seems to be Panama?

Now I check my software updates and I'm stuck on the May Security Patch and there really aren't any updates for this firmware.

I want to switch to an Indian firmware but on updato and sammobile, only the SM-950FD is available for India as only the dual sim variant is sold in India

I want to flash a firmware with the latest update and also receive future OTA updates but I'm not sure which firmware to flash.

Is there no solution for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
i can tell you only this: had bought a Dual Sim S8 in Germany, the phone was originaly from Egypt. (DBT/DBT/EGY), and received OTA's.

*but the battery life was horible :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theagentofchaos:
Haha but I have not received a single OTA update. Maybe I missed one because it was set to auto but I'm still on the May security patch
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
Install Phone info app from google play and open the app it will show you all hardware and software information of your phone. See the CSC code and find your software according to your region.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Presterin:
You can flash FD firmware, it is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
You have dual sim model G950FD or single sim G950F

check hardware to remove sim and card socket and see the card socket is hybrid or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theagentofchaos:
Oh so it'll change to INS/INS/INS?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theagentofchaos:
It's hybrid. Single sim
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
Means you have dual sim model FD

if so you can safe to flash fd firmware of any region.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theagentofchaos:
No no it's a single sim with space for a micro sd card. SM-G950F
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
Ok means its not hybrid socket.

Download phone info* Samsung* app from google.

Open it and check CSC and region of your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] samteeee:
It doesn't matter what FW you install, you can never change it to INS as TPA is hardwired to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Presterin:
It should change to INS/INS/TPA. People commenting should understand that F/FD doesn't matter, as the software is the same. It's discussed here MANY times.

EDIT: last csc being TPA doesn't matter
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
Please check your back panel of your phone. The model no. Is written over there. If you want to update your phone to latest firmware its so easy. Find your model no. Is F/ FD download any firmware of any region you like and flash through Odin. Flash all 4 files with home csc.

I think your main issue is latest firmware not csc because your phone is Sim unlocked. You can use any sim card of any country in your phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dev.kasibhatla:
1) Easiest way - Download from other sites like aptoide, uptodown, etc.

But if you want to use playstore and nothing else, there's a longer way:

I don't know if its legal or illegal, but its simple.

Turn off location.

(i hope your phone is rooted). open es file explorer or solide explorer or any root explorer.

Go to the root folder.

Navigate to /system

Here you ll find a file named build.prop

Be careful, make a local copy, or also save a copy on your desktop. this file is important.

Find the region line and change it to whatever you want

ro.product.locale.region=US

Use a VPN and connect to a network of that region

If that doesn't work, do an additional step: make a google account and put in the desired country when asked.

Dont make any other unnecessary changes to build.prop. It can lead to bootloops or system crashing. If you find any problem, just replace the current one with the backup you made and everything will be back to normal. so dont forget to make a copy.

[Huawei Y5 (2017) Questions & Answers] dev.kasibhatla:
Fine i ll type down steps in max detail for you.

Go to developer options, enable usb debugging and oem unlock.

download platform-tools by google. (adb)

Extract it. Say at C:\

Now install drivers for your phone

open cmd and navigate to the folder where you extracted platform tools. Follow the code.

Enable usb debugging from developer options

[/LIST]

cd C:\platform-tools
adb devices

a device and some number should show up with an online status

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

again, a device and number should show

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

if it says success,bootloader is unlocked.

download a recovery.img specific to your phone. rename it to say twrp.img and place it in the same folder as platform tools.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img

the recovery will boot. this is a temporary boot and will wipe off on a reboot. You can also flash the recovery using fastboot flash command.

Dear All,

Thanks to all in advance for taking out time to read this.

I am not sure is this right place to post this query but please help me if you have any idea on it.

My car comes with an audio system which has a 3.5 mm jack. I managed to place a permanent tab on my car for infotainment

Now am coming to the idea.

-- Is there any ROM which has the android auto host so that I can pair my mobile device to the tablet and use it as a head unit. (like the os which is used in the head units)

-- Is there any drive mode application which allows to configure one device as host and pair a second device and receive all notification via the host.

Thank You all

Kadssr.
[Verizon LG G2] bozzburg:
Hello All,

New to the forums here and I am going to jump right into it. PLEASE direct me in the right place.

I have a Verizon LG2 VS980. Android 5.0.2. After about 3 hours I was able to finally get it rooted.

My goal is to be able to flash ROMS to it. My carrier now is T-Mobile. Initially I was looking to flash the phone with a stick T-MO ROM I found. But I found another one I would like to try as well.

I downloaded TWRP and selected my phone and selected Verizon as the carrier and flash the recovery ROM which tells me it was successful.

The thing is, I can't perform a manual boot into recovery mode because it takes me to a screen and just gives me the option to factory reset.

I tried downloading multiple apps to boot into recovery mode and when the device reboots, I get a message that just says Fast Boot Mode and that's it. It just stays there till I power off and then on again. WTH is going on???? I am assuming when I am flashing the recovery in TWRP, even though it is telling me it was successful it isn't. This is becoming more difficult then it seems and after 5 hours of this, my brain is melting.
