want my opinion and take on battery life id say, get them old samsung or old lg flip phones they got excellent battery life and bloatware from them dont affect battery life. just get a laptop backpack and carry your laptop cause honestly social media (what everybody has their phone for) is really not that important. I prefer those much more but i also like to root,rom, and burn the life outta these android phones, or possibly break them because it doesnt do what i tell them too. DAN YOU BIXBY!!!!!

Has anyone successfully rooted and put recovery on this device?
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Questions & Answers] PesSarmiento:
I guess we have to wait for a while before someone find a way to root. If zte allows easy way to unlock bootloader. Also depends how popular this phone is between the community. (Apparently not popular at all)
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Questions & Answers] hstop:
it's problably time to abandon all hope for ever getting this phone rooted. It's such a shame because it actually is a pretty nice phone.

Should have checked earlier whether there is root already.

Actually it should not be that difficult to compile a twrp image since the phone has a pretty common setup (Snapdragen 435 (non-Pro) and Snapdragon 635 (Pro).
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Questions & Answers] NesteaZen:

Jup. Tried it myself. It seems they have modified fastboot. Apart from

fastboot getvar all

the bootloader is responding with

or not at all to any other command.

So unlocking and flashing is not possible unless they give us a different bootloader or reveal how to do it.

It is definitely possible. I know the axon 7 has a very similar bootloader situation. They were able to bypass it with a custom flashable image. unfortunately it is not compatible with the blade.

from my understanding it'll charge, but not at the fast or quick charge rates. pixel phones are supposedly following the USB-IF standards, so for faster charging, you'll want a USB power delivery power source. I believe I read a post by Benson Leung on g+ that the pixel will get the best charge from 18W chargers (6 volt, 3 amps?)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
This is correct, Samsung uses the proprietary QC fast charging that doesn't follow the spec. Google uses PD. You'd need a PD charger to fast charge the phone.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] schmenge:
8125, WM5 factory ROM. Two PCs both running WinXP Pro. One PC is running AS 4.5, the other 4.2. I do NOT have a partnership on the one running 4.2, I just use the connection to move files back and forth.

When I connect the PCC to either PC you hear the "ker-thunk" of a USB device connecting, and then the tones for AS connecting, AS window pops up, etc. Just a few seconds after that I get the error message that Sync cannot be completed successfully, etc. etc. But I am connected, albeit as a guest. AS window says connected, I can browse the PPC through Explorer.

I've tried different cables, this is already two PCs and two versions of AS. Done soft resets, rebooted PCs and so forth. It sure seems like the issue has to be with the PPC itself. There are no particular settings under AS on the PPC side. Do I have a corrupt file someplace? Bad registry? Bite the bullet and do a hard reset?

OK, I did find it. A couple of things. First, there is no official lineage os for the tab s3 and I'm not sure what roms that auto-root tool is going to come up with for the s3. Second, I don't know what the auto-root tool does and I'm not going to try it on my device. There have been root tools that connect to servers in China,etc. Also, it seems to be pretty generic to android devices, many of which require different recovery and root methods, and samsung devices can be bricked relatively easily.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] headsand:
Yes, it seems to me aptx and aac works in this beta. I can't show you hci log, cause phone does not create HCI log. But phone shows *streaming aptx* when i listen to the music with my beyerdynamic byron bta. You can even choose discretisation 44'1 and 48 khz. You can choose aptx, sbc, aac. AptxHd and Ldac doesnt work, despite of these are in the list too. I will not lie to you, that i hear great difference, but i definitely notice video/audio sync is much better with aptx, then sbc. So i made a decision it really works!

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] joshibua:
Hello.

I have an inkbook classic 2 which I bought for the freedom it offers, and I want to hack it just for the heck of it. My first project is trying to get my moto z2 play to take over and control and respond to the inkbook's touch e-ink display. I want to do this the hardcore way, through a cable connecting the inkbook and the moto with each other, but I am not sure if that is possible to do so with the existing wires. That said, I am up and ready to disect some cables and hack my way in to shift the connector pairings around.

I have absolutely no idea how to do this, and am parallely searching through moto mod dev documentation to see if I can get a hint there, but any help is appreciated.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insertmynamethere:
my z5 Compact is taking forever to charge and even after I leave it in for hours, it still says it needs to be charged. When I unplug the phone from the charger and try to turn it on, I get 3 red lights. Holding volume up and turning it on only gives me 3 vibrations. Before this happened, I used the phone all the way till the battery shut down. After that, I can't get it to charge any more.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Sounds like you over-discharged the battery. You should always avoid using the phone to the point where it force shutdowns due to 0% remaining battery.

Try hard shutdown by pushing and holding the yellow OFF button in the flap for 10 seconds, then charge the phone for about an hour and try turning it on.

If that doesn't work, press and hold ALL physical buttons simultaneously (VOL UP, VOL DOWN, POWER, CAMERA) AND press and hold the yellow button for 10 seconds.

The phone should vibrate or something, I forgot, then charge the phone for about an hour and try turning it on.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Volume up + Power for hard shutdown.

Can you get into flash mode or fastboot mode?

Plugging the phone into your computer and entering fastboot mode helped me once:

So you disconnect your phone, do a hard shutdown to make sure it is off. Press and hold vol up and connect it to your computer. If a blue light shows up, at least the basic circuits and bootloader are ok :D

Keep your phone connected for 30 minutes and you should (well, might) have some charge again.

If you can get into fastboot or flash mode but still can't boot up, try reflashing your phone (if possible), esp. your boot partition.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alvian_P:
try charge with QC2.0, adapter will charge device on 9v, its standar QC2.0, when your phone drain of battery until shut down, down turn it on. Your phone must connect to charger and wait untill 2%-4% of battery before turn on.

if charger fail, change your battery, dont force charge before IC power broken (dead)

Running on an imported 5823

I am running on a 5823 imported from the UK (i think). Is it safe to flash boot.img prescribed for the 5803.

Also, where can I find a collection of boot.img for the 5823? I am not really sure I am doing this right.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGNNE:
Re-writing boot in fastboot mode will only work if your device is unlocked, and although unlocking should happen in the bootloader it is not something I would risk with an already bricked phone. Maybe as a last resort thing.

But IIRC just keeping the phone connected to your PC in fastboot or flash mode somehow bypasses some of the charging logic*, so just leaving your phone to idle might give you some basic battery charge to start with.

If you can enter those modes: You can re-flash your phone with stock firmware using the proprietary flash mode (Vol-Down when connecting to PC, green led should show up). Search for 'Xperia Flashtool' and/or 'XperiFirm', there should be lots of information, these tools help you download Sony firmware, too. I would not flash an image for a different phone type, I guess there is a reason why they made 2 firmwares :D

If you still only want to flash boot.img (= only the 'boot' partition on the flash as a raw image), you'll need an unlocked bootloader first. Also, if you already have an unlocked bootloader, you probably have installed a custom ROM (why else do you unlock your bl?). To avoid any more confusing error sources, I recommend flashing exactly the boot.img via fastboot that came with your custom ROM and that worked until now.

*Most likely bc there is no kernel to optimize (read: mess up) charging. I once had a Z5C with more-or-less blown charging 'stuff' and I was able to charge it in fastboot mode as a workaround.
