[Android General] tudor.raneti:
I'ld say I've succesfully upgraded, thanks xda-developers!

my short tutorial after opening the updating rom can of worms, so I remember myself in case I need to:

1. (problem, or your can of worms) installing a custom rom even if it sais it's for your exact model is bound to cause problems, as I tried the most seemingly wortwhile ones and as they each were missing something or behaving bad

2. (solution, which I didn't figure until the end) is to go back to original firmware, in my case french orange something v10L for my p920, since the original was bought through orange obligatory 2 year monthly paid service. Point was however to update w/o losing functionality, and so far I haven't tried flashing a clean firmware. Will come back on that perhaps. I've picked up my firmware from this list: https://lg-roms.com/?load_page=search&q=p920&page=1

3. (solution) after realizing you need a baseband they say to have a signal on those custom roms, you'll flash a baseband zip or something else that will "brick" your phone like I did because it also overwritten the bootloader badly, not allowing to boot anymore for instance. This is the solution: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2246001 There are actually more threads about this but this is what worked for me and seems the most easy. Just be sure to try and try again because if something doesn't work you're doing something wrong

4. (solution) what nobody told me is that you're supposed to put the kdz file in the same directory as lg flashing tool 2014 (wich I don't know if it works because I used the one from the forums: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 You can also use smartflash to flash bin and fls firmwares, which you pick from here too: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 In this post is the only place I read about putting the kdz in the same dir. If you can't flash kdz for some reason you can make from it bin and fls files like this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245469 however they say it may cause problems

5. (solution) after finally flashing the original firmware to get your stuff back, you might end in a bootloop. This is what you follow to fix it: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426426

6. (solution) after losing IMEI files I fixed this by going back to original firmware, however it had another IMEI number written in them, which I rewritten using tutty like in this tutorial: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 If tutty doesn't start or gives errors on write, try spamming it to start or the write imei command, it's got personality like that but it eventually works (don't ask me why, haven't seen this in computer programs often). Perhaps my cable is old, who knows

My bottom line is: don't flash custom roms unless you know how to not lose your functionality or how to fix them, and not even developers don't seem to do it since all roms have one problem or another which isn't mentioned in the custom rom's description. If you do however, this is what you go through fixing your phone, more or less
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
I'm on NPN25. 137-33. Flashed back to my stock backup for various reasons, am now getting a notification for whatever update is available.....a couple of things. How do I disable the update? And is there a stock rom of the latest build available for the US variant that's TWRP flashable? I don't see it. I was on the stock debloated rom which seemed fine but I couldn't get it to root with superuser or magisk.

Flash in twrp its latest. 67
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
Thank you. Will it break TWRP though and is it root able?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dayask:
Yes u need to flash through twrp... And I think its rootable
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] atrac17:
.67 is for the Indian G5+, but works on the US variant (RETUS). .35-5 is the most current firmware and .43 is for Verizon users (fixes call/VoLTE issues) of RETUS but is a March security patch instead of May like .35-5. The .67 has a different kernel source and March security patch. I'd go with .35-5. It's available here. But none of these are flashable through TWRP. You can fastboot though...
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
You lose recovery if you flash through fast boot though right? And so the one posted above you through retus isn't compatible with twrp?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] atrac17:
I believe the one posted above linked via gdrive is flashable through TWRP and was created by [MENTION=5293805]GtrCraft[/MENTION] and is based off RETIN or RETUE. You loose TWRP, but fastboot it right back.

I was just trying to help answer your original question about the most up to date RETUS firmware. Moto has made it difficult to track with all the variants.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
Thanks for all. What is the fasboot command to flash a zip?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] erkme73:
My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but the discussion seems to be right in line with my issue. I'm running -35 (RETUS), rooted (SuperSU) and TWRP. I got the notification to update yesterday, and being partly distracted by screaming kids, I accepted.

It, of course, failed. But more importantly, now any power/boot cycle dumps me into TWRP every time. The only way back to the OS is to boot to bootloader and click "start". I honestly could care less about the security update (as I'm sure a TWRP friendly version is on the horizon). But having to go through the bootloader to simply power up/reboot the phone is a royal PITA.

Is there a quick fix to the hook that seems to redirect to the recovery? As bad as that is, I'd live with it if it means I don't have to wipe and start from scratch.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] atrac17:
I'd start from scratch and make a backup of your current now, flash stock .35-5 that I linked above with RSDlite (update if on Verizon - your choice), fastboot TWRP again and restore. I accidentally did it with .35 and this was the process I did to get out of bootloop recovery hell. Hope that helps...

I posted the .43 update if you don't get the update and required it for Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Obeid Allah:
So there are two types of ServiceMode on the Galaxy S8. First one just shows your current cellular connection status and detailed information about LTE Bands, SINR, CA etc. It can be accessed by dialing *#0011# in the dialer. This still works fine. The second menu had a bunch of extra options like band locking, network mode setting, 256QAM, 4x4 MIMO toggles and everything else related to the modem. Normally it was accessed by dialing *#2683662# but now dialing that just opens up a menu saying 'Not Supported'. I wanted to know whether this was CSC dependent or Samsung is locking us out of accessing hidden menus like that.

Could all the users running this update chime in and let me know if this menu works for them or not?

I guess we're still waiting on the kernel source and that's why?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
It's carrier unlocked. I haven't heard anything about bootloader unlocked. Which i'm sure it's not, but probably able to unlock easily with "oem unlock" command (hoping anyway). I expect this phone to be easy to unlock, get root, and have a plethora of development. Although it could take some time to get rolling depending on how many devs buy it.

BTW- this thread should be in Discussion or Q & A.

Bootloader will be unlockable
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] serubin323:
The biggest thing is that no one has the phones yet. To really start development we need the phones to extract the firmware and start messing around with the software. Patience, mods will come.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EniGmA1987:
This runs almost completely stock Android, which means we will be abel to do ROMs just like any Nexus/Pixel phone does assuming Essential didnt lock down the "oem unlock" ability. Though they have said in a not 100% official capacity that it will be bootloader unlockable so we should have full ROM and kernel capability .
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
The bootloader unlock sounds pretty guaranteed, however the roms for Pixel/Nexus devices are built using the official source and kernels released from Google. I wonder how close to stock Essential will run that either they will release sources hopefully close to Google's schedule (which I sort of doubt considering they are launching with 7.1.1 and not 7.1.2) and how much modification their roms may need to run the wireless addon feature and camera on this device. I am hoping we can install and get full functionality out of the Google camera on this device as the stock one does look, limiting, however the wireless addons hopefully will be an easy addon that can be ported to whatever OS builds come down the line..

But like said above, only time and actual hands on can tell.

Any news on TWRP for the phone and rom developement?

I feel like the phone is not popular and will therefore not have a lot of development going for it? Is that right?

They have not released the factory images yet. They are in the final stage of it though. When they do, it will be a matter of hours before we get TWRP and custom kernels, and days for custom roms.

I've decided to take the plunge and finally change my HTC 10. This I've had since launch day direct from HTC, before that I had the M8. I've rooted both and was constantly running Viper Roms with no real issues whatsoever.

How does the S8+ compare and what tips, trick and general advice would you give a new owner to follow 1st? Are there any things that I need to do to the phone as soon as it comes out the box. I love to fiddle with my phones but I don't think I'll be rooting this one as I want to be using Samsung Pay.

Any advice and tips will be gratefully received.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.

If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] lesmil:
HI guys, I know there is a EE/3UK thread available but this Dual SIM version related, so don't shoot me, pls :) In Czech we only can buy Dual SIM version (official distribution - unofficial is available but only at some stores that are not very reliable + if you buy unofficial distribution you won't be able to bring it to Sony repair center but only to a seller). So I bought Dual SIM and I asked my network provider (czech Vodafone) if they are going to provide VoLTE/VoWiFi services for this phone and answer was no, as this is dual SIM and not a single SIM (they don't want you to use second SIM card of their competitor even if you use SD card in that hybrid slot).

So my question is if you think it would be possible to get it working on XZP Dual SIM in the future? Or (this is the worst scenario) will it be possible only when root is available as all modem files are stored in /system/etc/customization/modem (and I guess it's not a good idea to flash single SIM system.sin over DSDS system.sin)? If only rooting will help, how do I find out which other files from 1 SIM version should be necessary (dependencies) to flash (apart of amss_fsg_maple_vodafone_cz_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn)? Maybe build.prop and editing

# DSDS Modem Bringup
persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds
ro.telephony.default_network=9,0

I know provider has to enable these features but as said they won't do it at this DSDS version but only at single SIM. There is an app from czech Vodafone (only for WiFi calling) but that app doesn't even work on dual SIM version :/ Thank you for any hint :)
