[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sharxbyte:
I just picked up my phone yesterday via Craigslist( $550 with complete Gear VR, phone lightly used, yay!) and according to my research

a: the manufacturer warranty carries from the date of original purchase even to secondhand owners,

b: the only way to do a NAND backup is to install TWRP which will trip knox and void the warranty (PLEASE BE WRONG!!!)

c: inserting a SIM from a carrier will force a factory reset. (PLEASE BE WRONG!!!!!!!!)

I received the phone completely reset, and it originally came from T-mobile but was unlocked by them prior to my purchase. I flashed the unlocked g950u1 bloat-free firmware (Still 0x0) and I am planning on activating it on Verizon today. Before researching (here's the dumb thing) I transferred my note4 data, apps, and settings, and spent hours making the phone "mine." Last night I read about the phone auto-resetting each time the network is changed, and I really Really REALLY don't want to redo everything. It would also be great to have a clean image in case I ever need to do my own reset.

Is there a way to image the phone to my PC or a MMC in case the phone does its factory wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RR-99:
Changing the SIM will NOT cause a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrSteelX:
On your phone, there is no twrp for us yet b/c our bootloader is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
a: the warranty in canada is 1 year from the manufacturing date on the phone + 3 months, might be similar in the US

b: correct, but no twrp on US phones

c: this happens on canadian phones if you have the unlocked model, download smart switch from the play store and do a backup to sdcard just in case

thanks all, sim in, it rebooted but no hard reset. Waiting to get it fully activated now, for some inexplicable reason I have 4g on the verizon phone but calling and texting as well as data on my sprint phone with the same number.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheAsker70:
Hey,

Tried to root my phone and things got messy.

I'm at a point where when I try to access the bootloader I get the "No command" screen, which I can bypass with the Power+Up keys and reach the "Android Recovery" screen.

I used "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" which didn't help much.

I can't do much more than that because Windows doesn't recognize my device and so I can't apply anything through ADB.

I tried to install the drivers again, but still nothing. My phone doesn't appear on the Device Manager.

Windows does make a sound of connected USB when I enter bootloader, but soon as it hits the "No Command" screen I hear the sound of a disconnected USB device.

Any idea how to make Windows recognize the device again so I could try to install things back with ADB?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheAsker70:
OK, managed to solve this part after some reboots.

I'm now failing to ADB the stock image.

The phone says on top of "Andoird Recovery" that it's 7.1.2/NZH54D.

That's the stock image I've downloaded and when I try to ADB it I get on the windows terminal

"cannot read 'sailfish-nzh54d-factory-127f0583.zip'".

How do I move on from this?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheAsker70:
OK. Figured this one out as well.

I was flashing the wrong file. Needed to flash the OTA file "sailfish-ota-nzh54d-2163742b".

Now I have my Pixel up and running. OS seems to be there.

BUT... bootloader still not there. I still get the "No Command" page when I enter the bootloader and can only use ADB.

How do I move on from here? Still wanna root, add twrp and a different ROM.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xneuromancer:
I would start over from scratch. This guide is really good, it's for Pixel XL, but should be interchangable for Pixel 1 (non-XL), just be careful of the model specific files (salefish vs. marlin)

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sgace:
Can't you acces bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader"?

Also make sure u switched on usb debugging in developer options.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robocuff:
If you get to the screen where you can choose to enter recovery, that is the bootloader. The no command thing is something you always get when you choose to boot to recovery. When on the screen before the no command thing, plug it into your PC. If the PC recognizes it, use fastboot to access it. "Fastboot devices" will show your phone. Adb devices doesn't work there. Bottom line is, it sounds to me you're getting to the bootloader. Just not realizing it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Milly7:
The no command screen is a part of the recovery, not bootloader. My easiest suggestion for you is that with the phone powered on press the power button and select restart. Once the screen goes dark, press and hold volume down until it boots to the bootloader. If you can't get that to work then you sir have a problem.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheAsker70:
Yup. I think I'm good now. Gave up on the ROM thing. Too much headache to maintain it. Sticking to stock. Imperfect, but less headaches.

I wanted to root my device mostly for Titanium backup.

The rest isn't that important to me.

Thanks for the help!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
I was using GamStream just fine before the update, and can't anymore. I tried to trackback all that has changed, and the only thing that I can think of is the update.

My PC has the latest Nvidia drivers which were released early September. I used DDU to uninstall, reinstalled drivers, reset cache and data of "Nvidia Games" on the shield, yet it won't work. Turned off firewall on PC just to make sure, no improvement. Very frustrating!

The Shield sees the PC as being on and available (green light next to games), but once it tries to connect I constantly receive error 80330209. On my PC's event viewer I find the following:

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
At least an answer? Even a "Works for me!" would be appreciated!

Or maybe no one uses GameStream?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] An Droid:
Gamestream still works for me with the latest Nvidia drivers, 6.0 Shield TV update and latest Nvidia Games app.

Try logging out and back into GeForce Experience and the Nvidia Games app perhaps?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
Thanks for your response. I already tried logging in and out, didn't do anything. I also uninstalled updates for Nvidia Games (latest update Oct 5), but previous version did the same.

Finally, I just clean installed Win 10 on my gaming PC this morning, installed all drivers and stuff, installed one game, tried gamestream and got the same error.

Last thing I can think off...reset the Shield!! Damn frustrating...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] theblueflash:
Ok so my phone (LG G5) has recently seen a host of updates from Google. Currently on V7.0. quite simply I'm stuck with the Google app as a default homepage like so

https://flic.kr/p/YaKCPg

Whereas I'm used to and would like to keep the original like this

https://flic.kr/p/ZbTzaR

I've double checked my settings and the homepage is definitely Google as pushing the home icon brings it up. Is there a work round to get the original back in a new tab without having to push 'home' every time?

Many thanks. Hope this hasn't already been asked and the links work ok.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] sai444:
Did you check home screen settings in the chrome?

I believe it's a change in chrome. So roll back to older version and give it a try.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] theblueflash:
Yep. My chrome homepage is google.co.uk which works when you tap the home button just not when you open a new tab.
[General Questions and Answers] E-XDA-1:
Hi all, I got the notification of a T-mob software update end of September 2017 for my T-mob LG Stylo 3 Plus, the TP450. It currently is sporting the Android 7.0 with April 1 security patch, Kernel version is 3.18.31 and the soft version is TP45010b.

I am not seeing anything about that update on the T-mobile site.

Questions please, if you know:

- is this just a security patch as I'm guessing or a more serious Android version update?

- More importantly for now: if I go ahead and do it, will I lose all my apps etc? IOW does the phone reset to "stock" status with that update?

TIA

[General Questions and Answers] mingkee:
Just update with LG Bridge. You can regain root, either with SuperSU or Magisk, afterwards.
[General Questions and Answers] E-XDA-1:
sorry if I wasn't clear. The phone is not rooted, for now, has stock recovery etc, and I need to keep it that way for a while. (edited OP for clarity)
[General Questions and Answers] E-XDA-1:
well, since there was no reply about updating the stock phone, I took a chance and did the update, and if you are interested, it did NOT reset the phone. All my apps and their settings are still there apparently.

Good to know.

IT is now Soft v. TP450c . Sec patch is dated Aug 1 2017. Still Android 7.0 and Kernel 3.18.31
[General Questions and Answers] enesha:
Updates

As a rule, a software update on a stock phone does not reset the system. Could you imagine the outrage if it wiped everything every time your phone updated? Even during a major version update it may. be recommended to factory reset, the manufacturer doesn't do that. They want you to keep using them and their phone and don't want to make it harder for you than necessary so you dont try another carrier or manufacturer.

There are so many cube systems I am getting confused. Can someone explain the different variants, there is one in C++ also.

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
Touchflo: The underlying program that makes it all possible. Allows you to use swipes to start/close/rotate the cube.

SCLPF= Not a true cube (see later). Needs PocketFlash running in the background. Can be a bit of a memory hog.

SCLC++= Coded in..you guessed it...C++ with the edgelib library. A True cube (ie has 6 proper sides). Faster and snazzier.

Obviously the above is an over-simplification. There are also other cubes out there - but I haven't tried them. The only thing I can suggest is for you to have a go and see which suits you best. At the moment I'm using SCLPF and am very happy with it.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] dante0397:
So I installed LineageOS about 4 months ago or so and out of nowhere the phone just turned itself off and wouldn't boot, it goes past the motorola screen into the LineageOS booting screen, and it just keeps loading and loading, I can access TWRP, and I tried installing an older version of LineageOS and wiping the cache and dalvik, that seemed to have worked but the home button wouldn't work and some core system thing kept crashing and warning me on the screen and I decided to reboot, and now I'm stuck at the booting screen loading forever again, basically I'm trying to NOT wipe the phone data UNLESS I'm able to backup my apps with titanium backup or something like that; so since I managed to make it boot once maybe it ain't as bad as I see it, so yeah here hoping to get some options to fix it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
With titanium backup its possible to restore data from a nandroid backup.

Did you installed exactly the same rom over the actual one again? Did you tried wipe cache and art?

Make a backup of system, data, boot and save it to your computer just in case.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] dante0397:
When the phone got stuck at the loading screen I tried installing an old LineageOS rom, that initiated with the errors I mentioned, and when I did that I wiped the cache and dalvik/art cache as well, and now I've tried deleting them again many times and it doesn't seem to work, and quick question, the nandroid backup is basically doing a backup of what you told me, system, data and boot, right? Would that save all apps and their data, let's say, a progress in a game, or all settings exactly like I left them on an app.

Also I don't know if it's me, but I keep deleting some data from my SD card and it just keeps reappears again, even tho I'm seeing them getting deleted, same with pasting new stuff on my SD card, I'm doing all this thro my PC with ADB, tho pasting and deleting stuff on the internal storage works just fine.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Yes, a nandroid backup from your system/data partition saves all your additional apps with settings.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] dante0397:
Yeah it says my SD card is on "Read-only" and can't complete the backup, according to some thread it's a FAT error and I gotta mount the SD card on my PC and fix the error thro windows, but I have no SD card reader, meanwhile I'll wait for other answers until I find an SD card reader.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] dante0397:
The issue was most likely caused by updating LineageOS many times over and over again eventually causing a corruption, that and my micro SD dying and just being read only made it worst, so yeah, I'd recommend erasing cache, dalvik and system every few months to update LineageOS, well I wouldn't take this that seriously, since I don't really know that much, but yeah, phone is working just fine now, just installed everything from scratch and google helped me restore my apps.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] DgnrtnX:
The isssue you are talking about(sd read only mode). Im facing this problem and have done each and every method possible to give write access to sd card.

Well i can access the data(like can put anything i want in it) but can't modify it(copy, move, delete and even format). I looked for way arounds and tried my own method(even risked the data on sd) but no good comes out of it.

Im using rr and not lineage so we are on different boats in the same river.

If you get any solution pls inform me ans ill try it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Some sdcards become read only over time, had also 2 of them which had those issues. See reviews on Amazon. It's a known problem of the SD card itself. Try to format your card with pc and check if it's writable again, otherwise it's dead.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] DgnrtnX:
Thanks for the concern and yeah i know that it is a problem with sd cards.

The thing i was saying that i literally tried each and every method formatting from pc to even twrp. I even used cmd for it and as a out come non of them work.

Well sd card is not dead. I can move, copy thing in it the problem comes after that. I cant delete or then move from sd card to other location. Its like read only compact disk(it will clear the idea what im talking about). My sd card is working as a read only cd does.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
That's what I mean: they become read only. Search on Google.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] userwaldo:
I had the same issue. I tried reinstalling Linage OS, clearing the cache, etc. But what finally resolved it was clearing the data. So the issue was corrupted data that was keeping the device from booting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kyoung1033:
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Nougat and am using a Bluetooth mouse to control my phone. Everything seems to work fine except in the Google app and certain other apps. When I initiate a search with OK Google and click on search beneath the voice results which redirects me to the Google results of the Google app, I am unable to left click on any of the links within Google search through the app. Some of the other apps that I installed, including ESPN fantasy, also will not let me click on anything. If I use Chrome and use Google search that way, I am able to click on any of the search results web links and it works without an issue. I also just noticed that when I hold down the left click on my Bluetooth mouse to select and copy text in almost all apps, including the Google app, the pop-up menu allowing me to choose those options does not show up. I am still able to do both of these functions using my finger on the screen. On my previous Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, I discovered if I downgraded to a previous version of Android system webview to a version several months old, I am able to click on the results links using the Google app without a problem. However, I do not see Android system webview listed on the installed apps and therefore cannot downgrade to a previous version. Please help me with this issue because it makes the Google app and a lot of other apps useless. The reason that these factors are so important is that I am in a wheelchair and I am using my wheelchair joystick which acts as a normal Bluetooth mouse to completely control my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
im not sure the note 8 would be ideal for you seeing as the s-pen might be impeding some of the mouse interaction, but that aside, have you tried the universal switch in

Accessibility-->dexterity and interaction-->universal switch (ignore the post if you have looked into this already)

once you slide this on you should be able to add custom switches from connected devices, unfortunately i do not have a mouse bluetooth or otherwise to test this out

edit: you might want to try and turn off the power saver under settings-->advance features--> S Pen (just guessing but it might be ignoring click commands due to disable pen input)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kyoung1033:
Your suggestions did not work. Also, I have tried the universal menu button but I am unable to click it with the Bluetooth mouse. Do you think it is something related to the Android system webview or the Google app? Because I remember last time on the Samsung S7 Edge marshmallow that downgrading those apps to a older version made these problems go away.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alurasweek:
***EDIT***

I have become impatient and gone ahead and tried to download what I think is the right one...

I went on htcusbdriver.com, I installed the latest version, and I've run the installation setup and then plugged in my phone, but nothing happens. My phone makes a noise when it's plugged in but it doesn't show up on the laptop. I even tried re-installing the setup while my phone was plugged in but this also didn't work. I'm not sure what else to try! Any help offered at all will literally make me the happiest girl in the world. Thanks!

I have a HTC One M7, I was out the other night and turned my phone around to look at the screen and it was on the Boot menu...

Tried rebooting the phone and it ended up with an android logo and then onto something else (can't remember I was tipsy!!) and then it ended up on this 'Decrypt Storage' screen... I managed to get it back on the FastBoot screen, tried wiping the data caches etc and doing a factory reset (I'd rather have a phone than no phone AND no photos etc!) But that just restarted back onto the Decrypt Data screen.

I even managed to get onto Developer Mode but I wasn't sure if that's where I needed to be (So many people have similar problems but not quite the same thing!! >.< )

So from what I have read I need to download the correct drivers for my phone, which scares me because I don't know which ones I need.

When I go to power off the phone, airplane mode is turned on for some reason.

This is what it says on the boot screen:

*** LOCKED ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.61.0000

RADIO-4T.35.3218.16

OS-7.19.401.51

eMMc-boot 2048MB

Nov 16 2015, 20:23:35.0

Can anyone either advise me or give me the correct download link please? I'm not the best at this sort of thing but I really can't afford to just buy another phone :(

Thanks very much in advance!! :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morbuscope:
In the same boat - sorta

Hey.

No matter the driver version, I can't get my freshly lineage'd M7 to show up on my computers neither:

With Win10: SyncManager autostarts yet says no device was connected. Windows explorer shows the device as a chargeable one named "One", that's it.

With Win7: SyncManager autostarts and freezes for a bit. Then, everything is the same as mentioned above. Results are reliable.

In probably unrelated matters I can't find any contacts on my SIM card. That's super strange since I managed to hope with my ages-old SIM card from Nokia Ovi to WinMobile to BlackBerryOS to HTC Android without any troubles or need to format any contact files.

But I still think alurasweek and me both have the same false core settings enabled maybe? *lookscepticalatthephoneasifitwasastrangelymagicalthingfromanotherdimensionwhereendlesslinesofnumberscarryallmeaning*
