[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
I just got the phone and booted up once and then installed TWRP and this happened.

like the title says phone is stuck in bootloop (when in Odin patching TWRP i forgot to root it first which i think is the cause) and i cannot do anything to it :\

When i try the "hard power-off" power+voldown it does nothing since it loops pretty fast. Also i cannot get into recovery or download for some reason (holding voldown/up+power just when the phone rumbles).

So there the phone has been looping and rumbling for 2 hours now... Anyone has any fix for this? Or any help is much appreciated! :]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Keep the Download mode button combo held in until the phone reboots twice, hopefully the 2nd time into download mode

Vol Down & Home & Power
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
Thanks a lot! Now i am out of the bootloop and and seems like it is booting up too (hopefully, gotta edit this after that)

Did not boot (waited for 30+ minutes) but now i am transferring mod via adb and hopefully after installing that it works :D

I forgot to "Enable OEM Unblock" from developer options though, hopefully that does not screw things up :\
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yes you need to enable OEM Unlock before flashing anything custom, otherwise your bootloader is locked

And you need to keep OEM unlock enabled while you are running custom

If you can get into download mode, you might need to flash stock again before continuing so you can enable OEM unlock
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
Damn, i could not get into stock anymore. I tried to install root and other things mentioned in TWRP guide and installed mod and saw an error trying to access /data but installed and wiped and it wont start. So i could not made an image from stock. Did not saw or remembered about the OEM unlock before starting at guides :\

Damn this is an mess i made since that was an new option for me and i have been flashing roms and other stuff for a while :\

Is there an way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
You can get into Download mode though?

Flash stock with ODIN 3.12.3 or newer

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
Yeah i can and i also can use TWRP with USB OTG. Thanks for the link but there is no Finland there, can/should i choose something else from there?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Choose any you like for your model S7, regions only seem to restrict different things like VoLTE etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
Thanks for this! Worked fine and now i got to boot and enable OEM Unlock :]

Now i will read carefully how to install TWRP, MOD, etc. :D

And really big thanks for helping me with all this stuff!

In TWRP it does say "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument) in lots of places, anything to worry about?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
TWRP is not equipped to decrypt Samsung encryption yet. It's normal. You'll most likely end up disabling encryption anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DARKKi:
Hmm. After i flash TWRP along with the instruction that were here (i tried with only applying both or only dm-verity) the phone started to "start" flashing the Samsung logo but nothing happened and after 15-25minutes i tried to install this ROM and it also shows "Starting up please wait" but it also seems to start up indefinately.

Can you tell what is wrong now? It seems i can flash the stock ROM and boot to it but cannot install TWRP/Root nor any custom ROM's :\

You can do adb commands to hide the status bar. You can also auto hide the navigation bar by double tapping the circle on the left side of it.

Is this rom work on Moto E3 Power (XT1706)?
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bubba1601:
This is a moto e3 thread and its posted in that thread so logic dictates it will work on either model of e3......

Its working on my e3 XT1700 (not power) but e3 power ROMs (XT1706) work on my e3.
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] manishah.1996:
Plz plz plz fix camera issues...

It's almost as if am begging for it :eek:
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bubba1601:
I wander and despair at some of these comments in ROM threads.

If its not volte, its the camera :rolleyes:

Its not up to the ROM developments team to fix the camera.

Moto e3 never had an official 7.0 update so the camera is using a hack and that hack won't be fixed unless Motorola/lenovo release an updated source code, or mediatek release updated drivers for the processor..

Either way, posting here and begging won't get the camera or volte fixed, its going to take a long time to get the E3 camera up to AOSP standard, and to be fair, that's posted in most of the E3 rom threads, which people obviously don't read before coming here begging.....:rolleyes:

[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bubba1601:
It's the same Dev (samarV121) who's ROMs got removed from the E3 thread here on XDA if you didn't already know?

I've tried all of those 7.1.2 ROMs on my E3 (not power) and the camera isn't working on any of them, despite the claims otherwise.....

When you download one of those ROMs, the download link takes you to samarV121 android file host folder.

That's not a coincidence !

When I reported the fact the camera doesn't in fact work, I had a reply it was my fault for installing the ROM incorrectly on an "incompatible" device.

Strangely I never got a reply when I took the battery out of my E3 and sent a photo back of the label inside where it quite clearly states Motorola E3 XT1700......
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DystopianDJ:
All devices on LineageOS have their camera working on hacks - mostly by using BLOBs anyway. If the Camera is working, then the same part of the program which allows the device to access the Camera's BLOB should let the Camcorder of the device to communicate with it at that required DPI and resolution. From what I've figured out in some ROMs like those of SamarV which were blocked, his camcorder gets initialized, it's able to set the audio as well as the video source as it detects the camera when we switch to 'Video' mode and we are also able to select the format of the video that we are going to record, but is not able to prepare the camera for recording and crashes (falls on a error loop of some kind). While in ROMs like ashwinr's here, the application is not able to set the source of the video (detect device camera itself) and crashes. This is just a layman's view of the problem and it's probably already known by developers lol.

I'm not a coder, but it's just me trying to figure out the problem in my way and I do know for now the devs are literally working blind lol. *pun intended* :p So it's not entirely on the hands of the company of the device or the processor. But agreed, MediaTek is pretty useless when it comes to giving latest support to some recent past processors of theirs.

I'm not trying to be mean to you but on the last page there is a discussion about the camera, and its said its going to take a LONG time to fix.

Its better to read that sort of thing rather than keep posting about it, because I don't think this ROM is being developed anymore and the dev has moved to YOU TUBE......

I'm just trying to help you, the camera isn't going to be a quick fix.

*NOOB ALERT*

Can I just flash this recovery zip file with my current recovery ( by Dr framroze) ? Will it give me any error? Is it buggy..? Can I keep using my stock ROM with it..?
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DystopianDJ:
Well, you can't keep two recoveries at once. You have to flash this recovery from fastboot directly and it'll replace the existing stock one. You can keep using the stock and take Backup of the existing ROM, but I don't think you can Restore the backup of latest September security patch build with it. You'll have to download the TWRP stock backup of S131 version but you won't be able to upgrade it. I'll pm you the link if you require.

For a formal procedure to flashing, follow the thread.

Could XT1700 be included in the next ROM update? Or am I flashing wrong?

I used dr.faramroze's 3.0.2-2 TWRP version because official ones don't boot properly.

Or could you at the very least rename this thread to [taido.row] because [taido] is actually XT1700, not XT1706.

For those wondering I flashed ViperOS ROM from Guides, News, & Discussion section of all places. The ROM is for XT1706 but it works on XT1700, I'm surprised the ROM was flashed properly. Maybe it's lacking some tags that differentiate between XT1706 and XT1700
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bubba1601:
This rom does work on the XT1700.

Read the thread, several XT1700 users have confirmed so, including myself.
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xdafanboii:
Which TWRP version are you using then? For some reason the newest official versions (from official download page) don't boot up. This could've been the case that TWRP designed for XT1706 didn't allowed installing this build but again it was the only one booting up for me.
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bubba1601:
I'm using Dr Framazone version and have always used the Dr Framazone version.

This arguement about XT1706 E3 Power ROMs not working on the XT1700 is totally wrong and nothing but scaremongering.

I've used every XT1706 rom available on my XT1700 with no issues what so ever.

Users that have a XT1706 quite confidenly announced that roms for that device only work on that device, and regularly rubbished totally reasonable reports that those roms work well on the European E3 (XT1700)

Their confident announcements are totally false as XT1706 ROMs do in fact work perfectly well on the XT1700.

All it does is rename the XT1700 to a XT1706 in device settings, to which the XT1706 users claim a XT1706 is in fact being used, not the XT1700......

(The XT1706 has NEVER been available to purchase in Europe or UK)

EDIT

The official TWRP has NEVER worked for me and if you read in the various E3 threads here on XDA you will note users are instructed NOT to try to install the official TWRP as it will NOT work.
[Moto E3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xdafanboii:
That's interesting because I'm using Dr Framazone's version too and I only managed to install one ROM out of all available here and that was Viper OS one. I'm using XT1700 by the way. All others refuse to flash and return ERROR: 7

Maybe not all XT1700's are created equal and some of them can't flash this Lineage build with the custom TWRP by Dr. Framazone. Unless I'm missing something major here

Hi, so a few days ago white noise appeared while listening to for example music. Headphones aren't faulty, checked them on my computer and other phone, their are good. But the thing is, if I make phone detect my main headphones without mic they work perfectly fine but in-line controls don't work. It pretty much more noticible in lower volumes, in higher volumes you can't hear it pretty much, only when music is like fading in the end. You would say just listen to higher volumes, but I'm a type of person who notices a thing and can't unotice it.

Hi, sorry for a silly question, but ... 'm currently using a simple $5 stylus, how does S-pen differ? (considering they say it's the major point of Note8 vs S8+ and it comes at $90 higher price, at least in my country)

* sharpness

* durability / build quality

* can be carried with the phone inside it

* integration (I think it launches some kind of note pad when ejected with turned off screen? not sure)

anything above incorrect, anything besides the above?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xile6:
The spen to me is way better the any 3rd party stylus could be.

1. The spen is always there. It slides into the phone and no new to look for it.

Its wireless touch. Which means you can hover over the screen and do different things. Like translate, mark highlight.

The tip is smaller then most 3rd party. Letting you see more of what your doing.

The screen off memo works great. I ise it all the time. Pull the spen out and the screen goes black. Write your note then out it back in and it save. If you need to see the note again or add to it. Tap it from the lock screen or pull the spen out again.

Has a button on the side which can controller things like earse or go back.

Its has touch. So if you apply more or pess pressure it can simulate that and drawings.

Of you can go to a store and play around with the spen.

To me its great
