[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sggpta:
Try new approach to flash RR5.4.8, but nandroid backup first :)

- Ensure TWRP is 3.1.1-2, turn power off and after switch on enter TWRP (do not start recovery from OS or TWRP)

- Flash OB22 Firmware and Modem; then Boot patch for dm-verity to remove storage encryption

- Flash Resurrection ROM and GAPPS, Whenever you take nandroid backup make sure Secuity=None to avoid restoration issues

- Even if this approach won't maintain your apps (it could be the reason that original storage is encrypted as dm-verity not disabled),

i suggest using this approach for flashing any custom ROM. Since had started this approach all RR and Nadorid issue just vanished

Hope to have helped you ?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Huffdowg:
I have the one plus 3t have had no issues at all love the phone.

I updated the phone a few nights ago and last night it started acting weird rebooted and then got stuck on the One plus boot screen.

I tried going into fast boot and recovery and doing a factory reset and nothing happen but now the phone will not turn on at all.

I have been searching the internet for how to unbrick my phone. Ran across a method using the unbrick tool. I was able to get it started but with the tool, I get Firehose GetUsfInfo Failed and it stops.

Does anyone have ideas on how to get past this or how to un brick the phone?

I'm using WIndows 10 Pro in Test Mode
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Aneejian:
Were you rooted or had unlocked bootloader?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Huffdowg:
Everything was stock. No root or unlocked to my knowledge.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Aneejian:
You said the phone started behaving weirdly after update. What was the exact issue at that time?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Huffdowg:
I went to click on a weather widget and it froze. It then rebooted and went right into a menu at the time that you normally have to push power and Volume up to get to. If I did nothing for 5 seconds it would go past it and get stuck on the one plus logo as it tried to boot.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Aneejian:
I think the current issue is caused due to the unbrick method used. Your phone was never bricked it seems. What were the steps you followed?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Huffdowg:
After it got stuck on the on the one plus logo screen I did the following.

1. Loaded into Recovery wiped the cache.

That didn't do anything

2. Wiped everything

That did nothing

3. Reset all system settings

That did nothing and then it would not boot at all.

IF I would have known better I am betting I could have just flashed the default rom at this stage in the game before doing any wiping of any kind..

From there I went on to the unbricking method

1. Got the Qualcomm driver installed and made sure Windows 7 was in test mode

2. Made sure I could see the phone in device manager after I held power button for 60 seconds and then the volume button for 10 seconds

3. Ran the unbricking software msm 3.0 in administrative mode.

I also made sure windows defender was not running, any firewalls were off and no Anti Virus at the time

It would start trying to run and then would end up with where I am now.

I have tried Multiple usb ports and multiple cables at this point.

Right now the phone will not boot but I can tell the computer can see it however the msm 3.0 will not download anything it gets stuck every time.

I do have an appointment with tech support tomorrow with One Plus so that is nice
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Aneejian:
Hope it is in warranty period. When you connect phone to computer, can you see the storage?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ghe2167:

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Huffdowg:
I tried that and even had One Plus help me with their tech support and nothing works. They think the motherboard might have an issue and is asking for $190 more since I am not the original owner. Kind of crazy if you ask me.

Not sure there are any other options I always get stuck at Firehose GetUsfInfo Failed. I have tried 2 computers now and 4 different cables.

Kinda at a loss of words. Unless something crazy happens I will have to sell my phone at a loss and will have to go back to an older phone most likely.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Shuma9933:
Hi,

I recently got an s8+ in Hong Kong, so I have the G9550 model. I'm actually Canadian, so I want to flash Canadian firmware on to the device. I've been searching around, but I don't really understand what people are saying. Could someone explain what I'm doing and what the result will turn out to be and the risks I'm taking by doing so? Also, are the instructions I've found on XDA for flashing the same if I'm flashing another region's firmware?

Thanks

The regular pre conversations app works for me on all devices, however it does not when I add a phone number. Basically I have a problem with the new conversations. It starts to load I get all icons then a faint conversations label and then it crashes. I have tried almost all ROMs available for my moto x pure, no exaggeration. I am using DU at the moment and it does not work. Amazon thought it may be that I did not have an activated SIM card and had no data. So, I purchased and activated SIM card after having phone for almost 2 years and data does not help. Turning data off changes nothing for me as well. My sons phone is a samsung stock and his SIM card has never been activated but it works fine.

I also have been having troubles with TP-Link Kasa the most recent update is causing it to act the similar. It simply ignores my sign in. I have come to conclude their is a security validation check being used by amazon and tplink.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] BearOfXDA:
I recently just bought the 5X and I love it, yet the battery is used so I know it won't perform as good as if it was new, so what's a good battery to get? I'd prefer one that has a larger capacity than the stock, but doesn't require a modded back or anything
[Nexus 5X Accessories] catsruul:
I've seen posts with users that performed the LG G2 battery mod (similar to the rage with the Nexus 5). IMO I wouldn't trust a ~3-3.5 year old battery however unless you somehow manage to source late-manufactured parts.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crazyates:
I'm actually looking at doing this myself. My current battery is dying. AccuBattery says my battery health is below 70%, and I'm only holding a 1,900mAh charge instead of the original 2,700mAh. The G2 battery is 3,000mAh. I bought a LG G2 battery (BL-T7), and a spare 5X battery (BL-T19) just in case it all goes south.

Doesn't look too hard to mod the battery, and then it's a drop in replacement. The two batteries are the same physical size, which makes it easier than the Nexus 5, which had a different size battery and required case modding.

I'm not sure how I feel about buying a G2 battery manufactured in 2013, but I doubt I could get a 5x battery made in the past 2 years anyways.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
I got these 'OEM N5X' batteries, do they look legit: https://imgur.com/a/UROLN

Should I replaceme the battery in my brand new N5X from amazon with one of them, you think they will be better? Haven't opened the unit yet to compare the batteries - what dates of manufacturer do your batteries have guys? any newer than mine?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BearOfXDA:
You will (possibly) have a fresh battery, but the capacity will be the same. Those batteries will be better than the one in your phone, but only because of age difference
[Nexus 5X Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
Thanks, pretty much what I expected - but only if they are 100% genuine OEM - I read that most of these "OEM" batteries on ebay are just lower MaH batteries with proper stickers on them..
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crazyates:
I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQZV9ZV/ I figured for $12, I'd give it a shot. I knew it wasn't OEM, so I wasn't going to be offended if it wasn't a full 2,700mAh.

The one I got was manufactured in 2016. It started off with a ~2,400mAh charge, but I think it's already dropped to ~2,200 mAh after a week or so. It's better than the 1,800-1,900mAh I was at before, but not phenomenal.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
how do you check capacity between battery swaps?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BearOfXDA:
Look on the battery, it should say on there somewhere. If not, use a battery check app
[Nexus 5X Accessories] osamazhar:
I am planning to do a little more. I have already ordered a spare battery and a back cover. I will be connecting the second battery in parallel and make a hole in the new battery cover I have ordered. For the hole, I will 3d print a fancy red cover and will stick there with superglue.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moto2000:
Hi, I have searched google and these forums for answers to my questions but could not get a definite answer or solution to my questions.

My first question: What is a good program for internet messaging such as AIM and MSN that uses only text messages rather than data usage? I am not on a data plan but do have unlimited text messages...I would be okay if it used WIFI too....

Second question: I have heard that MMS uses data connection. I have my data disabled but would like to have the option possibly available to me. Is it possible to send/recieve MMS w/o the use of a data plan? Perhaps wifi if possible? or a program that allows the sending of MMS w/o data interference?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volcomnator999:
it uses data.....i have the unlimited text messaging plan that includes IM's and MMS....its the family plan for 29.99 i believe
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moto2000:
yea, I have that plan too, it says mms is included, but you dont think it will use data?

also, no IM clients that are supported purely over SMS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PsyOpWarlord:
You can try the OZ Instant Messaging client. From reports it sends over SMS. It has been reported it does use a small amount of data when it signs you in or out of the service but after that its all SMS based.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volcomnator999:
you will not get charged for the data when sending MMS....it will come up as data on your bill but will not get charged for it..so send as many MMS as you want because thats what the plan is for...

as for instant messenger...get the OZ isntant messenger..it comes with the shipped rom (or you can download it like the guy that posted above) and it will use data to log in but you will not get charged for it..and each IM counts as SMS. As long as you have an instant messenger that comes with the original ROM it will count as SMS and will not get charged for any data transfers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moto2000:
I tried OZ instant messaging and it wouldnt work because it requires data to connect and does not support wifi...

any other known programs to work soloy on SMS and if needed, wifi?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
I got my oneplus 3 longer then a year. Rooted, custom roms. Almost really happy with the phone

But there are a few problems that is not fixed yet after using the phone longer then a year. Maybe it is just me but I would appreciete your comment / Review.

1. Microphone.

After using the phone longer then a year. I'm not happy about it. When I call someone via skype, whatsapp, the microphone is not loud from a longer range. Short range is fine but it would be weird if short range was bad to:D.

Example: You sit on your desk. You call video whatsapp put the phone between something so the other one can see you but he doesnt hear you good. Because the microphone range is bad. I also saw a video Oneplus3vs5 video recording and the microphone is much better at oneplus 5.

Is there are way to fix this issue? Or is this normal.

2. Camera

from alot of reading what I did understand is that the google camera is better at night and the other OP3 camera daylight (not saying that it is just as a example)

The camera is good but it can be improved or is it just me?

What rom and camera app are you using?

3. Battery.

Battery is fine for me from just streaming movies,social media playing clash of clans,royale. daily I can get 5-6 Screen on time.

For more heavy useage switching to 3G etc, 4Hours daily.

4. Speaker.

Speaker is loud enough for me but when I play a song or watch a video and the sound is low I do hear a strange blazer voice out of my speaker.

I don't know but is this a hardware or rom issue. Maybe you guys can explain.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sggpta:
1. Microphone: Have a look at post stating details of configuration files to be edited to increase speaker volume, you can find settings to adjust mic gain there. Have done that long back but forgot name of file

2. Camera: It can't be improved as hardware is fixed and google API is ROM based, so what one can do is use a higher ROM like 7.1.1 with mature camera API and an application which makes use of higher APIs like OpenCamera on Resurrection ROM 5.8.4. Certain improvement is application dependent, if app does not allow exposure adjustment - am sure in some cases one will not get good results. OpenCamera is powerful and had seen best results with it.

3. Battery: Use greenify to hibernate background applications, like i don't like email application to keep continuously running and consume battery. Calibrate battery, if required (especially when its performance is degraded), Use application like macrodroid to create scheduled tasks like we can schedule GPS/WiFi off while not in Car. Had achieved 20 hrs battery life with 100+ apps using all of these.

4. Speaker: Forget every MOD and just use VIPER4ARISE with plenty of IRS profiles. I recommend downloading and applying "Prowhiz Profile" with "Dolby Atmos IRS"
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
Thanks for your reaction. I will search on google how I could increase the microphone stuff it would be nice if you could give me a hint which file it was haha.

About 3. I use Greenify already.

And 4. I use VIPER4ARISE already:p
