Hi, my device is symphony R20 running android 6.0.1, chipset mtk6580, kernel 3. 18. 19 , 720×1280 resulation. I've ported many different version twrp with same chipset n same resulation but all twrp touch didn't work. Found solution that otg can worked. But thing is, I have no PC or otg cable(yes that's right). I 've ported via one of my friend's PC and now I can't use that anymore.... And I am not that wise to compile my own twrp.. I've searched Google but nothing worthy.. So, I came here and I request to all XDA member's , please help me with it and give me a custom recovery that works without otg...... That's all.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DarkmanXTC:
Trying to keep this short but i seem to have messed up. I was trying to get back to stock with this phone so i've been trying to use the RUU to flash back to stock. I keep getting the 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR when i try the RUU sd card method but i read on here that you may need S off to make it work. I was in the process of flashing a custom rom (Bad Boyz rom) just so i can be rooted so that sunshine would work but system won't mount. Looking for options before i mess more stuff up
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
If you flash a RUU that matches your cid/mid you don't need s-off. At least when you upgrade your OS Version and not downgrade.

A "fastboot getvar all" will help us to provide you a correct RUU version, if there is one.

About the system not mouning:

you most likely checked in twrp to mount system as readonly.

TWRP-MOUNT: Uncheck "Mount system read only"
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DarkmanXTC:
I have the correct version but i keep getting the above error.

Also i did uncheck read only for mount system. I think i may have messed up something when i relocked the bootloader with custom rom and recovery then unlocked it again. I must have messed up something then. The ruu seems the only option. I'm trying to flash the same one i have installed which is the 1.28.617.6 on the spread sheet for the us phone but keep getting the error. You said i need s off to downgrade but not to upgrade. So do i have to wait for newer software?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
Seems more like it you have a bad download. Did you check the md5 of your download?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] aliveanddead86:
Yep, bad download.

Also, why do people re-lock the bootloader? I don't see any gain from doing this.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
agree, unlocked bootloader breaks safety net. So if you decide to return back to stock/non rooted you would need to relock to be able to pass Safety Net again.

That would be the only reason for me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DarkmanXTC:
Sorry been away. Yes i checked it, downloaded it more than once to be sure and checked it in cmd. Now to be sure on the HTC U11 google doc spreedsheet, the RUU (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377) is the recovery option at the bottom right? Thats what i been downloading, at this point i could be messing something up
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
No, it is on the first tab what you need.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DarkmanXTC:
Thanks i just got it. It took me awhile to notice that recovery its talking about the stock recovery not the RUU. i just flashed it. Thanks for the help

Hi All -

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pro with an unlocked bootloader which is stuck in a boot loop. It has some very recent pics and videos of my 8 months old daughter that I desperately want to save. Thre is no SD card in the phone. However, I cannot get the phone to be detected by the computer/ boot in recovery etc. I have tried a few DIY(TWRP) from online forums but to no avail. I flashed it with MI flash tool(fastboot rom) using save user data; Flash was successful but the phone is still stuck in a bootloop.

I came across an article on Gizbeat with the title " Flash ROM upgrade firmware without losing user data cache" which showed how to save user data while flashing the phone with SP Flash tool. The author has advised deselecting certain parts of the scatter file. I have downloaded Redmi Pro china stable fastboot rom, but the scatter file has different parts to what was shown in the tutorial. At this stage, I do not know what to deselect.

Can the experts on this forum please advise which options should be selected/deselected to save user data while flashing? I have attached a screenshot of the scatter file. Thanks already.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
Hi,

It seems like you've posted in the wrong section. The correct section would be this one: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-pro/help

Regarding the question, however, you can uncheck "userdata" part (and probably "cache" too). Doing so will leave your pictures untouched (hopefully the phone boots).

Also, if you can boot to TWRP, there is no need of this. You should be able to access your internal storage in TWRP from your computer. Otherwise, you can backup the userdata partition with TWRP, copy it to your computer and then try to access the contents of the backup. You can also try to boot to stock recovery, there SHOULD BE an option to backup the userdata. If such option exists (recent MTK phones do have this option by default), you can give it a shot. I have no idea how it works, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid_aj:
Thanks Nonta72. I have tried but cannot boot to TWRP. My phone is either stuck in a bootloop or I can boot it to fastboot screen. without being able to boot to TWRP, how can I backup the userdata partition?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
Can you flash things with SP Flash Tool?

Try to flash just the boot.img (uncheck everything else) to see if you can do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid_aj:
I haven't tried it yet, and that is why made this post so that I don't end up screwing things whilst using SP Flash tool. You mean flash the full rom with just boot.img selected in the scatter file? Thanks much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
When you open SP Flash Tool program and then select the scatter file by clicking "Scatter Loading", you will be given the possibility to choose which partitions to flash. So, you have to uncheck every partition in SP Flash Tool except "boot" (on the left side, you can see the checkboxes). After that, click "Download", power off the phone, plug it in. It will flash just the boot.img and the process will be very quick (few seconds).

If you want to be ABSOLUTELY sure (even though, unchecking the other partitions is enough), you can go to your stock rom's folder containing the scatter file and then delete the userdata.img file. If the corresponding file isn't found in the folder containing the scatter file, the program will automatically uncheck that partition and will remain so untill you manually provide a usable file for that partition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid_aj:
Many thanks. I will give it a shot over the weekend. Fingers crossed!

Hi,

I tried, but it did not work. Getting PMT error(screenshot attached). Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
It appears that you have held an incompatible scatter file. Please note that the scatter file isn't the same for the 3 versions.

The Note 4 (Mediatek) comes in 3 versions:

- 16+2

- 64+3

- 64+4 (You probably can use 64+3 scatter in 64+4 and vice versa but 16+2 scatter is likely not compatible with 64GB versions and also vice versa).

I may be wrong! But you have to make sure that it's the correct firmware that you have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid_aj:
Hi Nonta72 -

I have downloaded the Redmi pro fastboot stable rom from here - http://en.miui.com/a-234.html and using the scatter file that came along with it. My phone is 3gb/64gb Helio x25(6797T). The rom page does not have different roms for different versions of processor - just stable or developer. I have attached my scatter file for your reference. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
I really can't tell whether you have the correct scatter file or not.

But I do know that it's really rare that different versions of the phone share the same scatter file especially when there is a big gap between the storages.

If SP Flash Tool doesn't work, you can try to backup the device and maybe you'll get a working scatter file.

Here is an interesting guide that will teach you how to backup your phone (and possibly create a scatter file from it as well).

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-13347.html

Notes:

You may want to turn off your computer's internet connection before using the program

On step 9, make sure you tick the USERDATA checkbox! If it succeeds, you'll get your pictures in that file. Since the phone has a huge 64GB storage, make sure your computer has enough space (70GB or more) just to make sure!

Hi all -

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.2) I have had issues synchronizing my Wizard with my mac. Formerly I was able to sync via bluetooth through The Missing Sync which didn't work perfectly, but at least it worked more or less. *My problem is that I no longer see the "Active Sync" service when I bluetooth pair to the laptop.* (MacBook1,1 - 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM)

I've been playing around with SyncMate from the Eltima folks which works fairly well but won't transfer multiple calendars and loses the categories of my contacts.

Currently I'm running WM6.1 with the latest / greatest TNT ROM and it has been great; very fast, minimal bugs.

Anyone had any success Leopard sync success using other ROMs?

My phone is a G3 Wizard on T-Mobile USA.

I've looked elsewhere for this topic but haven't found anything to help me. If anyone can point me to threads, other forums - I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks much and best wishes -

Bill
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wnoto:
I have to say - I love answering my own question:

I was able to get sync back by following some of the advice on this link: https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=41

Specifically, I did a soft book on the phone and went into System Preferences --> Bluetooth --> Advanced and got rid of any extraneous Serial Ports and I confirmed that the Bluetooth-PDA-Sync serial port was set as RS-232... Did a refresh on the BT and there was the service. Amazing. Am pumped. Hope this helps others.

Tried several times, pressing vol up + power button up to 15s... vol down + power button up to 15s, tried also with my device plugged to the pc and followed the prev steps and nothing and also tried to install the RUU.exe File from official page and the program did not recognize my device...

[Nexus 5 General] Bubble-be:
As much as I enjoy comparing phones, there is no direct replacement for the N5. Other phones are always missing something, but - to be fair - make it up on other areas.

If you like the size, you could go for the pixel, but good luck finding that one and for a decent price.

The Android One devices look great if all you want is bare Android with updates, but it remains a question how long that will continue. The dev community is non-existent at the moment as far as I can tell, so no root or custom roms.

I have my sights on the Moto G5 Plus as a next device: decent price & specs (memory/storage/sd) and an active xda community. It's a bit larger and heavier and doesn't have wifi ac for instance.

I am getting bored of my N5, but then there's this new flood of roms coming out and you can play with the latest stuff in such an attractive form factor... I can't find an excuse anymore....
[Nexus 5 General] Hugo9191:
I'd go for a used Pixel, Oneplus 5 (if you has the cash) or, if you want to really stay in the cheap but good af area, Xiaomi A1, in my mind, it's the real nexus 5 replacement.

[Nexus 5 General] lesp4ul:
Thanks for the suggestions, so i tried AOSIP 7 for a while. It was smooth at first, but then it become quite laggy like nougat, youtube loads longer, fullscreen video rotate took more effort to load. I can't rely on multitasking if i opened facebook app and some app simultaneously. Also, initial memory usage is a lot. I must use facebook + page manager + ads manager because of work purposes and i felt like i was using a cheap 100$ phone [emoji23]

So i remembered pure nexus & nitrogen rom glory back in marshmallow day. So i went back, flashed latest pure nexus marshmallow 6.0.1 + blu_spark 108. I think i will stick on this rom from now on.
[Nexus 5 General] abemore:
I think you're absolutely right. N and O lag way too much where it counts: memory management. I went back to stock M recently, and even though the GUI stutters a bit, the things you mentioned plus the keyboard popping up quickly are what make this NOT feel like a $100 phone.
