Hello. The last one is planning to switch to Xiaomi Mi Max 2 or Xiamomi Mi Note 2, but I'm not used to these system plugins,

and I have a question you can download and upload clean Android 7.0?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainisman74:
Hi, guys. I recently bought a new battery for my 1+ two and after replacing it I've been having some problems. The battery life is actually lower than before and some times my phone suddenly turns off. Is there some way to calibrate or recalibrate a new battery or something I can do to fix this?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boulder96:
First of all, is your battery an official one or a third party battery? If its an official battery, check the manufacturing date. I'm not sure if oneplus is still producing/selling oneplus 2 batteries; it could be quite old. If its a third party battery, then I'd say its fake and of bad quality.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NY_3:
Yeah, I got one too. Manufacturing date is March 2017, and mine is also pretty bad. The turn-off thing happened once to me. But it really seems weaker than the original one. I thought that it needed time to go up to its full potential, but it's been 2 weeks and it's not good. Either we go back to the original battery or we go for a new phone. :D
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Exactly the same problem. You are not alone. I went out yesterday and it just turned itself off and i couldn't turn it on . Didn't have a phone for 5 hours. And not only that MTP doesn't work (I'm not blaming the battery of course). It's not even showing as an unknown device in the device manager I wanted to perform a format, flashing an img via fastboot and I can't. #neveragain
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NY_3:
Ok, so I bought a new battery because this one started to drop really fast. I got one from Ebay for $15 (last one was 30 from amazon) and it came really fast and visually it looks exactly like my original battery (the amazon one looked a bit different) only the manufacturing date is 03/2017. SO when I tried to remove the current battery, the connector got stuck to the socket. And I really tought that was going to be the end of this phone, but I removed it after some trying and put the new battery. Hope this one is better, if not I'll go for a new phone.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abethell:
I recently bought a new battery from here:

https://www.replacebase.co.uk/oneplus-two-replacement-internal-battery-3300mah-fa-p597-original/

They claim its an 'OEM' battery, but its quite clearly a knockoff.

I also experienced some of the issues mentioned in this thread:

Phone powering off when fully charged (80-90% capacity) - and not powering on again until I plug into mains

Fast discharge - I'd struggle to get 12 hours out of a full charge, even with minimal screen-on time.

I'm not entirely sure whether the fast drain and phone powering off was related to the OS / Kernel I was using. For a long time I was using the lineage nightlies, recently I moved to Francos Kernel and also installed the flashable 'v3' zip from this thread: - https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/general/power-tweaks-snapdragon-810-devices-t3261790 - which definitely looks to have reduced the idle drain and overall drain quite a lot. Also my phone no longer turns off randomly.

Additionally:

Removed all widgets

Turned off ambient display, turned brightness down

Turned off all gestures

Prevented facebook app from running in background - https://www.xda-developers.com/runinbackgroundsetter-restrict-background-processes/

I need to switch back to my original battery to see if I get better performance than the 'OEM' battery I bought - as potentially the battery drain issues I was having before were purely down to the software / kernel

edit: - still getting phone shutdowns with the 'OEM' replacement battery. Currently using https://www.cmxlog.com/14.1/oneplus2/#lineage-14.1-20170831-nightly-oneplus2-signed.zip and Franco Kernal r11

Well, I wanted to install the rom s6 with flash fire but ... in my desperation install the i545 oc1_firmware because I did not use the wifi, I thought my cell phone was oc1, and now it does not turn on I can not open the recovery nor the download mode, That I burned the terminal ?? When I connect to the computer I recognize it but as if I did not have the driver, I do not know what to do please help me, is it soft brick or hard brick ?? Also could be that I burned the battery in the process ??

MY BASEBAND VERSION IS: I545VRSGPL1

i know, im a stupid

PLEASE HELP ME, THANKS. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
If you can't get it to Download Mode then one of your few options is JTAG, which I know nothing about. I'm assuming you've pulled the battery and held volume up and the power button to get into Download Mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Your options, though limited, is as follows...

USB Jig:

1) You can try to purchase a type of USB Jig (aka Riff Box USB Adapter) to enter Download mode but, there is no guarantee it would work. Those can run approximately $150+ (USD).

JTAG:

2) Unless you want to purchase one, that can run approximately $250+ (USD), and it requires the skills of a knowledgeable person in Electronics.

3) You will need to find a local service provider who can use the JTAG for you and revive your dead hard bricked Galaxy S4. Some may not change and some will. You would have to contact one or more to obtain a cost.

Replacing the Motherboard:

4) The most inexpensive option is to replace the Motherboard (aka Logic Board). ALWAYS keep in mind that you locate one that has a Clean ESN (aka Carrier Unlocked).

You can obtain this 2 ways...

4a) You should be able to locate a used one with a Clean ESN/Carrier Unlocked for around $50+/- (USD).

4b) You can also locate a damaged device with a good Motherboard/Logic Board that has a Clean ESN/Carrier Unlocked around $50-$75+/- (USD).

Finally, the following is an excellent guide on how to replace the Motherboard/Logic Board. It also has pictures for each step.

Well thank you very much, I will go to a local workshop to have them do it, the workshops here do not think they have jtag because here the workshops are not professional, but suppose they have, you can install any firmware of any verizon s4 model or necessarily Has to be with the one who brought ?.:(

In second, I think there is motherboard, if there is but it will be any motherboard or necessarily has to be for this verizon model, if you put for example the i9505 will boot when you buy one of these will already installed software?

:rolleyes:

THANKS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Just an FYI... I545 Motherboards can only be replaced by another I545 one.

The motherboard for this S4 is no interchangeable with others because of some minor differences in the layout.

They did that on purpose to prevent individuals from swapping other carriers motherboards.

Some items are interchangeable but, not the Motherboard.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] IAmJok3r:
Google Verification blocked, I do not know which gmail I had original on the phone. I cannot figure out who's gmail was on, it was created for my father by someone else and we cannot find any information on the account. Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-360T1 MetroPCS version. I have tried: resets(currently I have the default stock version that you can get from using SmartSwtich. I have tried the SlideSync method, emergency call method, even creating a call with the Realterm which failed(the phone is not currently connected which may be the issue with that one but I do have a sim card in it. I have also tired using the WiFi method that involves turning off the network that the device is currently connected to during the "check for updates". I have also tried flashing custom builds using Odin. Any advice, methods, places to look, or things to try would be much appreciated. I have been searching for days, and I will continue to search. I am currently trying to do some type of downgrade and then retiring other methods.

Thanks

Just to double check, when i went on the link to download the firmware, it said it was for the S8+, was it just the website saying it was for the s8+ and not for the s8? Got me lost for a second but im still downloading it :)

Thank you all for your hard work for root on the S8!

I have a question in regards to the S8 vs S8+ disclamer. Does the S8 process have the same limitation? My assumption is yes but was wanting confirmation since there was a few differences in the files.

Does the S8 root process end up limiting the charging to 80%? What about SafetyNet and the issues with some apps? Does these issues follow suite for the S8?

might be a noon question , but how do you put the systemroot in the adb directory , and how do you fix the commands , because when I put the command on cmd it tells me 'adb' isn't recognized although I've updated the drivers and adb and everything possible , any help ? sorry first time rooting

It's not... all i've ever gotten was an AP, CP, CSC, and BL file. Never a system.img
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stmims1124:
The system image is within the AP file. open the AP file with 7Zip or WinRAR, then drag the system file to your desktop or wherever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ironbesterer:
Stuck on the part where we need a system.img.ext4. All I've ever gotten were the 4 BL,AP,CSC, and CP files. I've never seen a system.img.ext4 file in any of these. These firmware files take a few hours to download each and it's very frustrating I've had to spend many hours with no success on one step.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Updato and Sammobile don't use zips as the individual partitions. They use one zip and md5. files within one zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stmims1124:
Understood, but once you download their zip, you can open the AP file with 7Zzip. I did it last night, and that's how everyone is getting the specific image they want for their respective carrier firmware. What version firmware are you looking to get?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ironbesterer:
When I open AP, I see a BOOT, META, OTA, and RECOVERY folder with no system.img in any of them. I had to rename it as a .zip because none of my programs were able to open it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stmims1124:
Unlocked firmware, or Verizon firmware? If it's the unlocked, I can upload it to Drive and send it to you. I'm at work right now, so I wouldn't be able to do it for about another 3 hours or so. I could have sworn it was within the AP file...I am certain it is in one of those, if not the AP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ironbesterer:
I'm on Verizon. If there is a difference or carrier firmwares can't be used, it needs to be mentioned in the OP. The location of the file needs to be mentioned in OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
yes but if u arent using certain adb files you might have to go through the unstable root shell stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stmims1124:
You can use the image from any of the firmwares...I only asked because I was seeing if it's one I have already. I have the T-Mobile and the unlocked XAA ones from the July firmwares.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
bro lol the AP file is a TAR file.. open the archive and you will see the system.img.ext4, that is the file you need to extract as you have already been told lol

the ap file will be a .tar.md5, the md5 doesnt matter just open the archive and extract the system img
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ironbesterer:
Problem is, like mentioned, the system.img.ext4 is not located in any of the folders in the firmware file. If the whole .zip can be used, it needs to be mentioned. Basically the point is, this step needs more details, as there are a lot of less experienced folks here and I guarantee I won't be the only one stuck on this step.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
you downloaded the wrong file then or are only opening the meta data

download the full 4 files firmware, system img is in the AP file, if you are not seeing one then you are obviously missing it, not looking in the right file or downloaded the wrong firmware file

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Art3714:
It means where you installed or put your adb folder. Hit ur Windows key and type adb if you don't know then right click and open folder location. Open the adb folder and add the files you wish. When done, open a cmd prompt from that folder or navigate to it using CD. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
what are you talking about? all the firmware files for all tje carriers are exactly the same minus userdata typically, it shouldnt be mentioned in op because you can choose to use w.e system.img you want to use so if you feel a carrier has a specific one then you have every right to use that particular system.img, its pretty simple/clear already imo

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

to add.. the system img is ALWAYS IN THE AP TAR.MD5 file..

you have been told already, download any 4 files firmware that works on your device and extract the file so you get the AP, BL, CP and CSC

then open the AP tar.md5 and extract the system.img.ext4, its that simple

if you do not see these files then you are not downloading the correct files, do not know how to use 7zip or w.e archive program you are using, or simply an issue with your archive.. these are not problems with the root method or instructions or the OP at all..

not trying to sound rude or like a broken record but youve been instructed a few times and your issue has nothing to do with the OP as it should be really straight forward

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

thats not an issue with the op or instructions.. its an issue with your archive program/pc.. its pretty clear how to take a system.img from a firmware, you simply extract it..
