[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] Kartik Shankhavaram:
Hey!

I tried to unlock the bootloader of my K4 note (with stock marshmallow rom) yesterday with

fastboot oem unlock

The unlock succeeded when I pressed the Volume Up button to confirm it. Then it showed me a screen to select where to boot(system, recovery, bootloader). I had to scroll the options with the volume down key, and then select it with the volume up key. But none of the volume rocker buttons responded. I couldn't select where to boot. Then, with the fastboot flash recovery command, I flashed the TWRP for stock ROM available in the Download section of this thread. But still the buttons did not respond, and fastboot reboot bootloader gave me this message:

So I did fastboot reboot, and since then, the device has gone into an endless boot loop. It shows me the boot logo, then vibrates and restarts again.

When I press 'Power+Volume UP', I get the message

Then, it starts the loop again.

With 'Power+Volume Down', I get

and the same loop happens.

I read many articles about this and most of them suggest a problem with hardware or water in the phone. But my device was working when I connected it and not a drop of water fell on it, nor did it fall anywhere.

I'm at a loss and don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to flash stock ROM again.

And, after unlocking boot loader, you need to reboot to system properly and flash recovery

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Is anyone else having issues with the connection to their note dropping in an out using a USBc - A 3.0 cable? I have tried several cables and at least two different PCs, and if I leave it connected, I will get the windows usb detached, and usb attached sounds, sometimes back and forth over and over again.

In some cases it does it constantly, but then I think it has settled down and do a large copy and it might drop during the copy.

So far it doesn't seem to be happening with an older USB2 cable using the micro to usbc adapter and I don't have the OEM cable right now to make sure it is not the aftermarket cables (two different cable manufacturers).

Just checking to see if maybe there is something I am missing before I reach out to Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Okay, the cable that came with the phone seems to work with no problems.

Has anyone had problems with USBc - USB A 3.0 cables? I find it odd that the problem was on two different manufacturers and multiple cables/computers. If quality is the issue, then how do I know what cables to buy? I sure as hell don't want to have to pay samsung prices for all my cables!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
I've read somewhere here on XDA that the included cable with the Note 8 is actually USB 2.0. The one included with the Gear 360 is USB 3.1, so if you got the promotion for that you can try and see if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
After an hour on the phone, being asked the same questions over and over, going through 3 people plus the chat for support. Samsung tells me to use the USB 2.0 cable that came with the phone and that they don't support non Samsung cables! I posted on Their FB page and have received some encouraging replies. So hopefully they will either tell me what I am doing wrong or send me a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
I would also make sure that the phone is not putting something to sleep that is causing that as well. I had this happen when I was transferring from pc to phone the first time. It wouldn't stay connected, would always drop. Problem went away after factory reset,but I transferred files before I did anything else the second time and had no troubles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Could there be something putting it to sleep on USB3 and not USB2? I have tested quite a bit and the only difference is 2.0 vs 3.0.

And samsung is sticking to ONLY samsung cables are supported. WHAT?!?!? They include a USB 2.0 cable and tell me THAT is what is supported on their 3.1 capable connection??? I am so close to just sending the damn thing back.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GuestK00136:
Have you tried going into Device Manager > USB Root Hub(s) and disabling Power Management?

If you're performing a large copy, it's "possible" that the host (PC) "may" be dropping the connection.

As for the cables, I've used several brands without difficulties.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
It was just a thought, the only time I had trouble was before the factory reset, and I did set up all the auto sleeping stuff to help with battery(turns out I didn't need to). I always have used the Anker branded USB 3.1 3ft cords for transfer from pc to phone. They seem to give the best speeds .I never really tried to troubleshoot,using different cords,problem just went away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Two different, but related questions. First I asked if anyone was having problems. Very few replies. Next I was asking if anyone had success with 3.0/3.1, since Samsung is telling me they don't support any cable but their 2.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
Samsung makes USB 3.1 cables. They were telling you to use those if you want USB 3. They would never, ever give tech support on random 3rd party accessories (especially with the glut of crappy Chinese ones), so asking them for help with other manufacturer's cables will be futile. They're not telling you to never use 3rd party cables, but that they can't possible troubleshoot every single random cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
No one has told me where to find a samsung 3.0/3.1 cable. They are telling me, and giving me part numbers ONLY to the 2.0 cable that came with the phone. I specifically mentioned that they are telling me that I am restricted to 2.0 and no one is telling me how to get 3.0/3.1 speeds. I can understand them not supporting 3rd party cables, but USB is a standard, and I am testing with several different cables. I have ordered some expensive, since samsung has not, depite my request, given me a link/part number for a Samsun 3.0/3.1 cable, to see make sure it is not the cable. Right now it looks like it is the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] whoismikehockney?:
My Note 8 started dropping and picking up connection to usb with the original charger. I plug it in to charge and it connects and reconnects once and then fast charging is turned off or dropped and it doesn't fast charge anymore. I replug It in to see if I get a chance for it to get fast charging. It goes to regular charging. I don't see any damage in the port and have used 2 of the same cables. I will keep monitoring this event. Ive never had this happen to me before with S8+ and Note 7. It sucks because it charges so slow when it's not fast charging and I compared charging durations with my S8+ and it's charging slightly faster than My Note 8. I need more time seeing what's up with this. Help is welcome. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm new here, so I don't even know if this is the right section for my question, sorry for that.

so, I have the Leeco coolpad 1 and i skipped the setup wizard by renaiming the setupwizard, but now the softkeys are not working, whenever i click on them they just vibrate and do nothing.

is there any fix for that with twrp or some script of anything with root or something ?? I need your help, and I cannot start the setup wizard because i have a bug in my touchscreen, so unless it could rotate during the wizard, I can't manage to click "NEXT" .

waiting for a help... Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deathmist_:
Hello! Here is everything i did to get to this point:

• Unlocked the bootloader

• Installed TWRP

• Took nandroid backup

• Wiped everything (excluding USB-OTG)

• Tried to move files to the phone, and it created a no-name file with the windows drive icon

• Tried to delete the file, couldn't.

• Disconnected from PC, tried to wipe Internal Storage again, said " Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory) "

And it still continues to say "Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory)" every time i try to wipe the Internal Storage, doesn't matter if MTP enabled/disabled or if connected to PC or not.

So now i cannot move any files or folders to the phone, when i try, it does nothing.

When i try to create a directory on the phone, just says this (see image below) or hangs Windows Explorer.

I did all of this following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877

TWRP IMG used: Bluspark TWRP

I did NOT flash supersu or magisk, because i was going to install ResurrectionRemix ROM on the phone after all this. Also i did not reboot to OOS after installing TWRP, just wiped everything and i cannot move anything to the memory now.

[EDIT] When i go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select Internal Storage>Click Repair or Change File System it says "Invalid partition selection"

What should i do? I hope i didn't somehow brick my brand new phone :crying:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
did you try flash TWRP recovery "again" via fastboot? so restart phone in fastboot mode> flash recovery via ADB (or just copy TWRP recovery.img to your excisting TWRP and flash again as "recovery">reboot) You should than have a clean recovery. Than wipe everything also (incl. format data.) Than reboot in recovery and copy ROM file, Gapps, Magisk etc..etc.. from pc and start from a clean "scratch"

Edit: i had this kind of issue also while flashing unofficial Oreo LOS build. I ****ed it up also. Keep in mind as long as your PC reconize your device you are totally NOT bricked. So don't worry!!!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Deathmist_:
I solved it myself somehow...

Sorry about this whole post, i just somehow got this working when i tried to sideload an img file (ik, i'm a genious) it said "corrupted zip file" and now i can see everything again on the Internal Storage... wow.. How do i close a thread now?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] danimihalca:
Hi guys.

I have some hardware-related issues with my camera for 6 months now.

The main problem was that the camera was unfocused on the left side while trying to take distant photos (even while trying to do shoot something in Manual mode).

I've tried different camera apps (and ROMs) and had the same results.

Afterwards, I removed the back panel and while trying to clean up the camera lens, I accidentally pressed the camera a little and heard a small tick and then I concluded that the camera was somehow popped out. Then the focus reverted back to normal.

But this issue seems to reappear every few days, and it gets very annoying when you try to take a nice photo and see that the image will be blurred (since I don't take the screwdriver, sim removal tool and the case removal tool everywhere with me). In the end, it gets fixed if I apply the steps above, but this happened to often in the past weeks.

I don't have any warranty since I've bought the phone directly from China before it was officially available for the international market.

Since this seems to be a hardware related issue, I tried to contact 2 local services, but they didn't seem very reliable.

Afterwards I thought to replace the camera myself, but I don't seem to find anywhere only the camera component and a good tutorial how to replace it.

Do you perhaps know where to find some spare parts and how to replace them?

Or did somebody else had this issue and manage to find a workaround to fix it?

Thanks!

Did you have the same problem as me?

Well, I reverted in the past to a previous TWRP ROM backup from a date where I didn't have this issue and it was still present (I'm currently on xiaomi.eu for about 6 months now).

I have to press the internal camera (the black plastic region near the lenses https://i1.wp.com/www.xiaomitoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/mi-5s-teardown22.jpg ) to make it work again.

Hearing that click every time it gets fixed makes me think that is a mechanical issue somewhere inside, not a software one.

Also, my phone took a couple of falls, this could explain this misbehavior sometimes.

I have the same issue.

I shake the phone strongly back and forth until i hear camera lens move. Then it focusses.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] danimihalca:
Update.

After a while, some black spots appeared while taking photos and with the above mentioned issues, I concluded that dirt entered somehow between the camera lenses. (I think that was the reason why the camera couldn't focus well at distance).

I ordered a camera from aliexpress, replaced it, and now everything works fine.

I use SBP's PhoneWeaver for doing this. You do have to pay for it but it does give you options for times and days of the week to switch profile automatically. You can also have it change things like WIFI/Bluetooth and phone settings automatically, or execute applications as specific times.

If you use the calendar, you can set the phone to do it automatically during the appointments. U need to use the HTC home to do this tho as it's not a standard option. Tried it with my lectures, and it put it onto vibrate during the lecture, then after it went to normal.

Well if you Active Sync your outlook or OWA calendar to the device, and set it so it's marked as BUSY. Then using HTC home, u know that plug in for the homescreen you can auto set it to set your phone to vibrate/normal during the periods set. I do it.

Under ring tone tab you click the last one on the list which set's the sound to Automatic. And it auto set's the ring setting.

If so, do you also have the HTC home running as well? Does it interfere with any other common plugins?
