[LG G6 Questions and Answers] foobar1234:
Hey,

After attempting to flash a new LineageOS version using the updater my phone wouldn't get out of recovery mode.

In order to fix it I accidentally cleared the entire misc partition instead of only a part of it.

After doing a complete factory reset using LGUP I got it to boot again. Unfortunately WiFi doesn't work anymore (the *.kdz file doesn't contain a misc.img either)

Could someone with an H870 phone upload an image of that partition please

The steps are as follows:

ls /dev/block/platform/soc/*/by-name/misc

which is /dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc in my case

and then

dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc of=/sdcard/misc.img

Finally upload the misc.img file somewhere and post a link here.

Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lobogris2004:
Did you manage to do find the misc partition? I think I did exactly what you did.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MS.:
Doesn't misc partition contain IMEI number and such?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DJPRMF:
you SHOULD'T use a misc partition from other devices. That contains data that is specific to your device - CID (Carrier or Region ID), USB configuration, hardware settings etc

Check your IMEI. Does he appears correctly?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Wiping that partition wipes your IMEI and Mac info, no Mac info means no WiFi.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] foobar1234:
Huh, I had completely forgotten about this thread and didn't get any notifications until I was quoted.

In any case I managed to solve it somehow. I don't remember what I did exactly but I think it was something like this:

I noticed that bluetooth had an all zero mac address as well unless I disabled and reenabled it. In this case it would generate a random one. Rebooting would set it to all zero again of course, but I think I just copied the misc partition from the running kernel to a pc and then back to the phone. That seemed to work.

After that I tried changing a few bytes near the BT Mac with a hex editor until the wifi address changed (I think it was less than 20bytes away). I don't remember what happened to the IMEI but I'm still using the phone and seem to have a valid one now.

Maybe this will help someone but of course take everything with a grain of salt.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabo Bustamante:
I need help with my WIFI, the problem happens that I have to be near the router so my cell phone can connect to a network and when it's gone, it disconnects quickly, and on the wifi just keeps looking for the networks and it does not find where I need to be very close to the router, this happens with routers and network points created in my laptop. According to my conclusions and thought of the main problems that cause this failure:

1. It is a wifi hardware failure.

2. And I read some issues about some users reporting the same problem due to missing files in the root folder / Persist "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin" but it is copied to that folder and the problem persists, I do not know if it will be must be exactly extracted from another bike x play xt1563. After flashing ROM stock and several ROMs 5.1 - 6.0 - and now with RR 7.1.2 nougat the problem persists.

To conclusion I think that if it is a hardware problem, the wifi will not work in its entirety or I would not turn it on so I think it's a software problem.

I would appreciate your help or suggestions to try to solve this problem that not only I commented but several users but who do not have a concrete response from the developers.

My touch screen suddenly stopped working. The weird thing is that touch is not working only on the lower part. Remaining part it is working perfectly fine. OS using Lineage Android 7.1.1

What this problem might be is this hardware or software problem?

I checked whether this is software error. But when I enter TWRP recovery as I said only lower part of touch not working. It has become incredibly difficult to wipe cache and dalvik cache even in the recovery the touch is not working

Any suggestions how to make it work

Hola guys,:D

I have been using MIUI since my kenzo arrived. I was quite tired of AOSP on my previous phone. That's why I preferred a change.

But the thing that's up my butt is that my phone tends to sugger from poor battery life as well as me as a bearer. It's like 12% per hour drain. Currently stacked up with agni kernel and xposed.

Little help and advice would be appreciated on what to do next.

PS: Sorry for bad English.:laugh::silly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Uchiha_It@chi:
Lol you are currently on gr8 drain it is in good condition since Agni is best kernel for kenzo right now so u r good

Way to go

If you want nougat then use official RR or

Nitrogen OS both are good probably u will get more battery backup (don't know what is your usage games or social networking sites)

AOSP forever ???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] sasukay:
AOSP has had same UI since Lollipop uptil recently from the introduction of white theme in oreo. I'm particularly not a fan of earlier theme and had to use substratum and had to test with a few themes. MIUI in itself, was colorful, and while was comparatively slow, but not too much. I was on MIUI global dev from the last 5-6 months until I needed some change. So I flashed Nitrogen and so far the experience has been smooth. Substratum is one of the best thing that has happened to android. I'm still on NOS nougat build and will wait until a somewhat stable version releases. I won't be going to MIUI in the recent future, but maybe after 2-3 months, I'll move back. I never hated MIUI, its just I got a lil' bored with it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] MikeyLee:
MIUI since switching to AOSP causes loss of certain functionality. I would use AOSP if someone could 100% port the MIUI camera so there is no loss of any functions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] HiQual:
MIUI is great - for some

Its all down to personal preference.

I used MIUI for the first year and I think it is excellent in many ways for the everyday user not interested on what's under the hood.

I recently switched to AOSP just because I like things to be uncluttered.

Also Xiaomi was annoying me with the MIUI 9 teasing of RN3 users - pretending they were going to get further Android updates is very bad behaviour.

i notice biggest disagreement with all current reviews is the battery, some say its charge lasts too short, some say its about right right and some praise it. I suspect results will also differ based on CPU.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
What's with all the reviews saying this phone is a tough sell or hard to recommend? It seriously must be from people who don't use the S-pen often. It's what makes this phone phenomenal. It's not a toss in. It's irreplaceable.

They also seem to say you shouldn't need to upgrade from your S8+... No kidding, this isn't for those people (generally).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
It's basically the price. $900+ is new territory for a non-niche smartphone that reviewers are simply having a difficult time recommending people spend that much money without some mind blowing feature like a front fingerprint sensor embedded onto the screen or the first next gen processor of the year or a battery that gives 5000 mAH while remaining the same size or free wireless earbuds or a phone that will make you scrambled eggs and toast in the morning. Unfortunately, when the next iPhone rolls around for $1000+, those same reviewers will sing praises because it has new mind-blowing features like a bezel-less screen and all-glass construction and wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Haha, agreed on that last part. It'll be sickening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Torquemada288:
If the differences between the S8+ and the Note 8 were the same as the differences between "Current iPhone" and "Upcoming iPhone", the tech media would call it "game changing" and "revolutionary". If an Android handset does try to do something different, like the secondary screen on the V10, the tech media calls it a gimmick. Tech journos would lick the sweat off of Tim Cooks balls and tell everyone it was a lovely unwooded Chardonnay with hints of citrus fruit.

They be slinging shills to pay da bills. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
You are banging your head against a brick wall.

So few people understand the purpose of the Note range. They compare the Note 8 with the SGS8+ etc etc. Makes me wonder how such people can call themselves technical reviewers? I have seen this with EVERY Note released.

So few seem to understand the Note is not for everyone, it fills a

clearly defined niche

. There is the Galaxy 8 RANGE of mobiles and they are non comparable. The 8 is aimed at the majority who desire a top flag ship mobile. The 8+ is for those who want extra size and what we now call a 'phablet'. The Note 8 is exactly what it says, its mobile aimed at those who USE the bloody S-pen!

If you only new how puzzled I get when I read a post here or see a review where the poster says he has bought the Note but never uses the S-pen and then goes on to criticise the device?? I simply dont get it. :eek:

WHO WHO WHO goes to buy a car, lets say a Merc' E series, and compares the coupe with the saloon and the cabriolet? Who are these people? Three different cars to suit three

different customers

, with three different needs.

Like I have written previously, it's a shame the Note 8 has a greater IQ than 'some' of its critics.

However.............

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Thanks for the post, must have taken you some time to arrange this for us. :good:

My comment is NOT aimed at you.

What qualifies a Youtube poster as "Professional" ? If one means salaried that's fine. I fear when most people read the term 'professional' they automatically think of a person with

professional training and qualifications

like an engineer etc.

In reality I suspect the vast majority of those who write or post review-clips are enthusiast's like us or just amateur's at best trying to earn a living?

A real professional review, and they are rare, will not pass an opinion only lay down the scientific facts for us to make our own conclusion, they are objective.

Far too often such 'so called reviews' are highly subjective and some are even based on financial rewards thus making them totally subjective and biased.

The problem is today anyone of us can open a Youtube account and post what clips we like. Must be very difficult for the novice buyer in today's market not knowing what to read-view or what is creditable and non creditable.

I am rather thankful I have been purchasing such devices since the late 1980's so have some knowledge and experience of what to look for. Its a mine field.

Ryland :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I agree many reviews are mainly subjective.

Few reviewers understand note taking and the cognitive benefits of writing information down as opposed to typing. This is why the reMarkable product has had so much backing from early adopters as there are few good tablet based pen solutions. The reviews I linked to are where there is an online tech magazine or blog that also has a YouTube channel. This is why I entitled it as "professional" as there are many reviewers that don't the time or resources to undertake a quality review. Also if you read the comment section for the YouTube reviews you'll see people do point out that not many reviewers understand the utility of the S Pen.

ok im not that new to flashing i have flashed about 6 or 7 roms on my phone in the past. today i was running dutty's V4 and i have been running it since it came out to the public and today i went to read a txt message and the phone blacks out and i get a red light at the top but its only there when the phone is on a charger. i can not restart the phone at all.

dont know if it helps but i was running Dutty V4 with cube enabled also running s2u2 and thats about it as far as stuff that was running other than the rom itself. i really hope there is a fix to this. i have already tried to reflash but device is not found.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gasman858:
As posted above, this is referred to as "red light of death" - RLoD.

Rzanology had a potential fix for this involving removing battery cover and pumping battery up and down on battery contacts (battery cpr), that appeared to work for some folks - tried to find the thread but was unsuccessful. You might try pm'ing him.

If you are unable to resuscitate your device, most have simply returned it. Good luck!

apologies for the hijack (and sorry to hear that you're having problems) but I've always wondered what they check when you send it back for a fault repair.

Just wondering how many people have sent back their phones with hardSPL and custom roms still installed
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
well if it totally dead don't worry about sending it back with custom things flashed to it. most of the time they just hook it up to a charger and see if it will turn on and if not throw it in a bin of other messed up kaisers. I'm sure HTC knows about the red light of death and what makes it happen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gimini:
no biggie on the hijack :)

well im stil standing in att but obviously since im sending this I got a new phone. they tried to give me a loaner until they sent mine for repairs but when they offered me a 89.00 phone I laughed and told them my kaiser is worth more as a paer weight and that I run my bar from my phone and that their loaner wouldn't cut it. they then offered my an iPhone to replace it, telling me its a beter phone anyhow so I went to the magazine stand across the isle and showed the a mobile power magizine that has the tilt listed higher and also told them that I needed my 3g internet and also said look if ur willing to give me an IPhone why not a tilt. after about 10 mins talking to me I got my new tilt.

now omg I can not wait to get the htc today screen back and opera. ie sucks

Phone insurance which covers "accidental" damage is a good move, although you will probably need to pay a small excess. I managed to push the usb port inside my universal a couple of years ago and got a straight swap. If you dropped it (from a height onto a concrete floor) I'm sure no one would even try to turn it on. Alternatively have a run in with a stranger in a hoody on a dark night, get a crime number and no one will even have your phone to check for HardSPL or custom roms
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jgmdean:
As mentioned in the other thread (no I'm not going to search for it. :p ) the only thing AT&T cares about is if the water sensor has been tripped (little white square under the battery permanently changes color when wet), or if there is obvious physical damage/abuse. Apparently they can't get past the RLoD either. As an aside I'd really love to know what the RLoD return rate is... :eek:

So, given those constraints the other thread's conclusion was that 12v across the battery/charge contacts should permanently brick it quite nicely. Just watch out for arcing.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE FLASH IMAGE AT THE TIME HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RLoD. It appears to be a hardware problem, and no-one here has reported an issue with a returned RLoD Tilt or Kaiser with a 3rd party flash image loaded.

In my case I also had to wait a few days to get the replacement units unlock code because apparently the IMEI was so new it wasn't in the database according to the service drone. Which suggests that AT&T is using a table of unlock codes from HTC rather than a piece of software to generate the codes. Now that we have an unlocker and "Super CID" program available, it's moot anyway. (Good karma wishes jockyw2001!)

I'm having this very strange problem with rooted devices: SU binaries are installed along with SuperSU and everything works fine. From time to time SU stops working until I reboot the device. If I open the SuperSU app I get the message saying I should install the binaries. Testing from shell, SU doesn't work either. Everything returns to normal after a reboot.

I am not able to reproduce this reliably but I have noticed it happens after the device boots. So I turn the device on, SU doesn't work, then I reboot and then it does. Problem seems quite rare but it's important because we depend on it for updating apps on the device remotely.

The device is running Lollipop and SuperSu version is 2.65. This matches the SU binaries version, I checked. Hardware is a prototype device based on a phone, not sure about the details though. I do know it has a Mediatek processor.
