:D Soft Brick phone stuck on ogo while uninstalling SuperSu & Flashing Magisk got some error done restoring backup from twrp got error now stuck exactly don't know which on cause stuck may be backup restore or may something wrong with twrp backup process as I've not got any error while backup

gonna try flashing boot & stock recovery will post result soon

If I fail, I'll lock bootloader and will go to service center:silly::p
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Anas Rahman:
I tried installing after flashing stock recovery but it failed. Flashfire also doesn't work. You need to be on stock ROM the install update and then reflash TWRP and magisk

problem is with spflashtool & I guess system.img wasn't extracted coz of different compression method is used for packing .IMG file

Hii.

Thank you for this post. I successfully rooted my k8 note following this tutorial but i am currently facing one problem. I lost my VoLTE feature after i rooted my phone. I followed the below steps for the whole process:

1) Tried to root with the latest ota update but soft-bricked after flashing twrp.

2) Flashed stock rom given in the thread link and again tried the rooting process (with magisk).

3) Successfully booted up my phone but now I am not able to use voice services using my jio sim as I lost the VoLTE support.

4) Currently using Jio4gVoice app for the calling feature. But is there any way to get back the VoLTE support? Will flashing stock rom or updating to the latest update solve my problem?

Hi

Is it actually possibly to buy a china Android radio that is working perfect? One where you don't need to modify Bluetooth connections inside the radio to get perfect calls. One where the FM reception is perfect and so on

[Android Head-Units] annezz:
China Radio

Hummm, you may ask China seller. I think it is OK.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
As you userid ends with DK, I assume you are from Denmark.

FM reception as such on most "brand" units is OK. RDS-AF is not. Currently I do not know a unit which does this correct (and I hope someone corrects me now by naming a working brand, please do). China doesn't know/have AF. for those Chinese programmers it is "terra incognita".

Most units also have very rudimentary, or no support at all, for RDS-text. FYT is a big supplier of the software for a lot of units from several brands. If the software comes from FYT: no AF, no RDS-txt.

RDS-PTY is hardcoded for Europe on my Joying (FYT-software), so it works fine, but it doesn't work for USA. Don't know for other brands.

BT is OK on most newer 6.0.1 and 7.0.1 brand units.

With brand units I mean Joying, Dasaita, Ownice, A-Sure, etc.

So there are two strategies to perform and I don't know which one is the best way:

1. Improve the free version, promote on sites and try to get a lot of downloads. Publish the paid version after a huge user base.

2. Publish a paid version before the app has got a lot of downloads. So the promotion is more worth.
