[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Bobbinski:
Hey did you find out whether the Mobile Hotspot feature is present on the US997 and is free to use on whichever carrier worldwide? Or if there's a workaround? I'm outside the US and thinking of buying this phone but I need that feature too.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kdkinc:
T-Mobile.

United States only for my use.

I have no experience elsewhere.

No charge.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Bobbinski:
Ok. I just wish I knew if there is a workaround to unlock the mobile hotspot feature so that I can apply it if I have to. I've read that you can only unlock the bootloader for the H870 and US997 models only. So for instance if I buy the US997 model and it has an AT&T or T-Mobile rom on it then if the hotspot workaround exists for them I don't have to worry.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Mike Fabiano:
Hi

New to this site but read an article you guys wrote on the new Z2 having issues with the front screen scratching easily. I purchased the phone 2 weeks ago and am enjoying it. But have noticed several scratches on the front screen. I am bit anal when it comes to protecting my screens on all my phones so this issue has me worried. All have done was put the phone in and of my pocket and there is definitely seems to be a problem.

I called Motorola and they agreed there was a problem with the screens and sent me a link for replacement. When I clicked on the link they wanted $29.99 to replace. The phone is only 2 weeks old and so far everything is great about it, I even purchased a few mods. But what good is a phone with amazing graphics when your screen is covered in scratches.

Any one having same issues ? Any advice on how to remove the scratches so I can put a stronger screen protctor ?

Thanks

What is the link for the screen? I too have little fine scratches on my screen of my Moto Z2 Force of course due to the type of material it is made of. I just want to replace it and put a screen protector on and should be good to go. Scratches are the only complaint I have about my Z2 Force to look on the positive side. I am more than happy with it and I had no idea when I bought it that they would have mods for this phone ! So what a fantastic surprise..
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Scratches here are not a problem. Here all ok with the screen, just crackle by pushing the screen and battery just 2677mAh after few months. The battery is dead before anything going wrong with the screen, right? But great device. No screen protector needed here, no scratches.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelcamino:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-J320M with Android 5.1.1 which I have successfully rooted (installing SuperSU via TWRP).

Everything works OK except when the phone runs out off battery and switches off: when I plug the charger and try to turn it on, I get "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" message.

This doesn't happen if I turn off the phone normally or long pressing power button or pulling the battery out, only when it self turns off because of battery low state.

I have always been able to recover the phone by reflashing stock firmware (via ODIN), and then rooting it again (always same procedure: enable OEM unlock, flash TWRP, flash SuperSU).

I would like to ask if anybody knows a way to prevent this from happening again. As a workaround, I try to have the phone charged before the battery dies, but sometimes it is not possible. I'm worried of this happening on a trip out of home with no access to a computer for reflashing.

Thanks.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mortifyxda:
There is a master list of stock recovery versions for the HTC One. How do I determine which version I should be using?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
None of those. That is hardly a "master" list. It's over 3 years old, never updated past the original Kitkat (M8 release) recoveries, and woefully obsolete. You'll want your recovery number to match your OS number (main version on bootloader screen or getvar all). Also, none of those are valid for AT&T version M8 (which is what I assume you have, since this section is specifically for the AT&T M8). It would need to have "502" in the version number x.xx.502.x which specifically denotes AT&T.

Why exactly do you want stock recovery? Most folks want this, in order to get OTA updates. But you will also need a stock, never rooted ROM (unrooting doesn't work), and also must be connected to the AT&T network. It's probably easier to relock the bootloader, and update by RUU. Note that RUU will wipe all data from the phone. See RUU section in my Index thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

If you really want stock recovery, you should be able to extract it from the firmware.zip. Find the right firmware version number from the firmware collection, and extract recovery.img from the "Stock, Full Wipe" firmware zip:

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mortifyxda:
That is definitely helpful. Thank you. I didn't realize that I could pull the bootloader out of the firmware.zip. The phone was AT&T and later unlocked and made in to a rooted Cyanogenmod phone. I had to un-root and install Android GPE. It's not really AT&T anymore. Now I can download OTA updates, but cannot install them because TWRP is still the bootloader. I would rather do the OTA updates since the phone is already stock-ish and resetting everything is only slightly preferable to stabbing my eye out.

Since I'm unlocked on marshmallow, it looks like I want the 6.12.1540.4 zip.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Recovery and bootloader are two completely different things! You can pull recovery.img from firmware.zip, and flash with fastboot. I would not do this with bootloader, which would require s-off (to flash manually) and it would still be risky. Better to flash the whole firmware.zip or RUU, if you want to update bootloader. But I don't think that is what you meant.

Your description is confusing, and I think you're mixing the terms up again. 6.12.1540.4 is the version number for the US Developer's Edition, which is Sense, and not the same as Google Play Edition (GPE) which is not Sense.

To OTA, the version number of the current stock ROM needs to match your firmware number (in bootloader and getar all), and you also need matching stock recovery.

To be clear, what is the current ROM (and version number) as shown in Settings? And also do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number). Need those pieces of info, before I can properly advise what stock recovery to use.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mukul_rathore:
do it on your own risk ..................

you need

1. unlocked bootloader

2. twrp recovery installed

3. official stock firmware installed.

4. gapps 7.0 arm version stock package

for moto g4 only;)

please backup you current stock rom using twrp

1. unlock bootloader that void your warranty so do that on your own will.

2. install twrp recovery after unlocking the booloader

3. download gapps from open gapps website and select

arm ->7.0->stock

4. install gapps without factory reset and after that reboot, it takes some to boot than go to settings apps search dialer app then give it all the permissions and make pixel launcher default.

this method is annoying because you have to backup your current rom before flash gapps. if any problem occured then go to twrp and factory reset and then restore the rom.

but this method take your moto g4 to very stable pixel ui and also every app is genuine as pixel device. i trust on open gapps.

i did it very short because old users know how to unlock bootloader and install twrp so use that if you want some pixel feel on moto g4.

for new users of moto g4 guys do not update the rom in future if you unlocked the bootloader.

*** use this method if you have current version of stock rom that is installed when you unlock the bootloader, for example: if you have npj25.93-4 version installed at present time then you must have that version of stock rom, for relocking the moto g4, for the future update. if you update the software by auto update feature that prompt on the whole screen whenever new updates come, then you will be in trouble untill you have latest updated stock firmware package. understand the matter, because it will hard brick your phone so unlock the bootloader if you have full stock rom package for relock the device and during unlocked bootloader do not auto update to the newer version of os. its simple do not update to latest untill you relock the device.

good luck and do it carefully ....... otherwise used methods describe on youtube for unrooted devices

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.

Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?

Does this increase the volume using a regular BT headset?

I have the Moto H700 and the volume is low when driving in my truck. I have the volume all the way up on the headset and I sometimes have problems hearing people.

It is fine as long as I'm in a quiet area, but the reason I bought the BT headset is to use it while driving since its safer than holding the phone to my ear.

I've already tried the audiopara.csv file and that increased the speaker but it didn't seem to affect BT.
[Touch CDMA General] LobsterBoxed:
I too have the same problem w/H700. I have searched high and low and have found there are many with this problem. It seems like it is a WM 6.1 issue.

Is there any possible way to increase the volume to the BT headset? This is a major inconvenience to many and I think it should be addressed by MS. Maybe one of the senior members here have some sort of tweak for this problem.

Thanks.

Hi There, did you resolve this issue at all? I have the exact same problem and same errors as this. System.img unpacks fine, I just tweaked the build.prop for a test and got the same "line xx is missing..." errors on the file_contexts and also

"Cannot lookup security context for /system/.build.prop.swp"

[Android Software Development] davek17:
OK, so i answered my own question!

Firstly I found that the file_contexts file in Android 7.x+ is now a binary file so the make_ext4fs script cannot read from it. I used a converter tool to get the text version and that solved the issue with not being able to read from the lines.

Secondly I resolved the issue with the permissions by checking the permission on my Ubuntu system. Stupidly I had not sudo'd correctly in creating the mount folder so my system.img in fact was empty. I checked the permissions on all the folders I have been using and that resolved the issue. Bingo the new system.img flashed no problem!

Hope this helps someone.

Hi guys, can I find a so gentle and generous person who can do on TWRP a Nandroid backup of all partition (obviously not data) of Full Stock version of Honor 8 Pro and send it to me? I tried every single method findend in this forum but the phone won't restore back the stock version, so it is my last chance to bring back my old phone.

I would be very gratefull if anyone of you could help me.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Which specific model and cust?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] amulbaby:
The reason why no one has been so generous is that the root access given to this device is partial, not system wide.

You can't grant -rw permissions to /system partition and hence if we go into TWRP, it doesn't allow to take a Nandroid backup.

However, I can give you the link to B130 dload file.

B130 STOCK

Flash the recovery images first and then flash the ROM using dload method

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] aKp1:
Yes you can install magisk after this. But then after returning to stock, you have to flash TWRP recovery, then try installing Magisk v12 as apparently someone from the TWRP thread said that he couldn't make v13 work. And No even after doing all this, you won't get full benefits of rooting as system partition is restricted and you don't have read and write permissions. Encrypted rom will be decrypted once you follow the installation of TWRP and install magisk.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] rexinriot:
thnks for ur valuable answer..but i have a bit of confusion..

u said that even after doing all this i wont get benefits of rooting as partition is restricted as i dont have rw permission...but u again said encrypted rom will be decrypted once i follow the installation of twrp and install magisk..

so if rom will be decrypted then automatically rw permissions would be accessable..then probably i would be able to enjoy full root benefits...crrct me if i am wrong...
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] aKp1:
I was decrypted when I had root and twrp but still I wasn't able to access the system partition. To get full root access, you have to wipe data in TWRP and then flash the decrypted boot.img which we don't have for our phone. So we stuck on half root.
