[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan19997:
Firstable, i'm new to this forum so feel free to move my topic to the appropriate thread. :)

Hi, I need some help. I was given a bricked phone that I would like to fix.

phone: alcatel one touch pop S3 5050x

-Infinite boot loop when powered on

-it does not start with power button , only with the usb plugged in

-i have access to fastboot mode but not adb or recovery (i think USB debugging is disabled)

-when i try to flash CWM or use " fastboot boot recovery.img" i get weird white lines, like a lcd issue but the lcd seems fine, then it starts boot looping again and again

-i cannot find any stock rom in order to get clean boot.img, recovery.img and system.img and flash them :(

-i only found a TWRP backup but i cannot access any recovery mode or boot on it via fastboot

-converting TWRP backup files (.ext4.win) in .IMG files may help me

-Mobile upgrade won't detect the phone so it cannot download the appropriate ROM

-there is only a few files related to this phone, that's why it's so difficult to solve this.

I really need your help, i think every android brick/ bootloop is a challenge and i want to achieve it. :fingers-crossed:

English isn't my native language, i apologize for language mistakes.

Initial thoughts, it works. fits well. It's a tad bulkier than I like - but I am one who likes ultra thin cases. I actually do prefer going case-less on this but for certain things I'll put this on like when I'm at a football game or concert. Another thing to note is that it does or can pop up my screen protector (tempered glass orzeo brand)

It looks like this cutout for the fingerprint sensor is off-center. Is it off-center or is it just the angle ?

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
This seems to be download mode for me :)

The problem is that you have corrupted boot.img and recovery.

You just need to flash twrp from download mode("fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then fastboot erase recovery").

After that you will be able to boot in recovery, format cache, and install a rom.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Er, that's actually not the problem. Viper 6.2.0 is based on firmware 4.x. The download mode shows firmware version 2.10.401.1.

Taken from the ReadMe thread's FAQ:

And this article might be worth reading in this case, as well:

The Difference between Rom and Firmware

It got written for the M8 and not all it mentions applies to the M9 but it gives a good overview of the problem.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshameel:
Thank you for the feedback.

i tried the steps suggested above

however it is still the same :(

it keeps coming back to same black screen and options

reboot

i think i might be doing something wrong here.

can please share steps to bring it back to stock please.

You need to flash a RUU for your current firmware (or firmware 3.35.401.12 if you want to save some time). I'd suggest using the SD card method but in the end the method doesn't matter.

Step by step instructions and download links can be found in the RUU section of the ReadMe thread. Just use the direct link in the quote that I posted in my last message.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sturatt:
are you running HTC Home? if so, remove that. It slows down the transition drastically on my phone.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] mudar1771:
Hi all,

Auto-rotation stopped working on my Nexus 7 a couple of years ago. So I recently developed this small app that allows manually selecting portrait or landscape screen orientation from the Quick Settings panel.

Please note that the app does not force unsupported orientation for third‑party apps.

Compatibility is for Android Nougat 7.0+. So you'd need to install a custom ROM.

This is an open source project, available on GitHub. Source code is released under the GPLv3 license from the Free Software Foundation: https://github.com/mudar/RotationQuickSetting

You can download and install the APK attached here or from GitHub. Also available on Google Play.

This small app did the job for, making my beloved Nexus 7 usable again :) I hope other users will find it useful too.

Cheers,

mudar
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] xzr3b0rnzx:
great app sir, it would be nice if you can have addition option for 0 deg, 90deg, 180, 270deg
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] mudar1771:
Thanks for the feedback! The options you mention are supported by the app, simply called "Reverse portrait" (0/180) "Reverse landscape" (90/2270) :)

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Hi,

currently I'm on OOS 4.5.1 (with all addons as the signature says) and it's working great, but there are two things that are irritating me:

Ambient display - when a notification comes, the clock isn't displayed (to see it, I have to pick up the phone). Ambi-Turner doesn't help. The issue wasn't present on OOS 3.5.4. Is this possible to fix this, or this is a Never Settle™ feature? :rolleyes:

DND - I set an option to automatically enable DND, when I start sleep tracking, but I feel only a short vibration, like a sign, that the setting failed (and of course, nothing happens, DND doesn't kick in). Again - how to fix this? I already granted permission to access DND setting to the app.

Forgot to mention - the app is Sleep as Android.

Any help will be appreciated.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Gallardo994:
No clock also bothers me af. But this is the intended (and dumb) behavior. Also, the red 1 is so damn annoying. Why even change what was actually good?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
I had the exact same bug on the Ambient Display on 4.5.X, but it seems to be back in the Oreo OB's. Maybe it used to be a Never Settle™ feature, but I guess there was some backlash so it's back again.

Have you tried Freezing the DND App in Titanium Backup and Defrosting it? That may work.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
So i guess that I'll have to live with this bug.

And freezing doesn't help, but here's the log:

https://pastebin.com/HivjnmnV

(I had to paste it somewhere, the length of the log exceed max allowed char limit)

Edit: hmm, it seems that auto DND works, if the slider is set to ring. If it's already on vibrate, then the setting doesn't change.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Gobbledygook33:
My existing SD card is running out of capacity, so im trying to insert a 64Gb card into the phone. When trying to clone the this card in my laptop, i keep getting the message to format the card. Which obviously i don't want to do. The card works fine in the phone so i don't suspect a faulty card. If i plug the phone into the laptop the card is visible, and i can copy the files, and transfer them to my 64Gb card but then this is not usable on the phone. What is the procedure for upgrading the SD card in the Lenovo P2.

It sounds like your SD card is formatted as internal memory rather than portable.

When you put in your new SD it will ask how you want to use it. Choose portable and copy your files over.
