[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] DaSoul:
I read that MIUI 9 will bring face unlock. Is this already included or in closed beta?

Does anyone already have it and made some tests? Can it be tricked with images etc.?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHIN98:
Hello, I am the user of HTC One M8 from South Korea. Recently, I had received my new device HTC One M8 as I already wroted in front, and install the Final version of LeeDroid Rom.

About 10 days passed, and I had found out something strange had happened..

I found my device was not the HTC One M8, well it is EXACTLY the newer model The HTC ONE M8 EYE.

But, when I had received the package, I saw it was written as a HTC ONE M8, but the device inside was HTC ONE M8 EYE.

I swear this is not the "Refurbished Product" and I also saw the seal was sealed in the original package, but the looks like the device had been changed while packaging at the HTC Factory :eek:

Is this actually possible could be happen when there was a device which is not actually the same device but the newer one.. That's really funny thing I saw in my life..:laugh:

I REALLY LIKE TO SHOW YOU THE PICTURE HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY LOOKS BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THE PHOTOS..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Not possible as it is not possible to install that ROM on M8 eye (AFAIK that ROM don't support M8 Eye same as all other ROM made for M8)

fastboot getvar all result will tell what device you really have.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHIN98:
Well, interestingly I found my device is HTC ONE M8 EYE. I should have to come as a HTC ONE M8 not the EYE version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
How were you even able to install a custom ROM?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHIN98:
Well, I just install the LeeDroid V8.4.1 from the android development of the original One M8.

I just didn't know that my device was the EYE version of the M8 and install it. Surprisingly it work really smoothly but in the settings, there were NFC and the peel smart remote control, but EYE version cannot use any of them because it doesn't have the NFC and the IR port.

So I just delete the Peel smart remote control app by using the aroma installer and just left the NFC because it doesn't actually works:laugh:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
Your OS version is actually Stock Lollipop. The .401 is, if I'm not mistaken the branding-free wwe edition of the m8.

Did you get that device how it's shown or did you s-off and changed cid etc.? To me it looks like you have a regular m8. At least that's what the output of getvar says.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
Then you're probably the first where flashing a ROM worked on this phone with no issues. Too bad your modelID is blank.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This identifies the device as a "regular" M8 (not the Eye).

If it was the Eye, it would say for product name: mels_tuhl

While it's easy to change MID and CID with s-off, I've never seen the product name tampered with. So it's safe to say it is the "regular" M8 (not the Eye).

Why do you think it is the Eye, that you have (based on what info)???

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

I have a feeling the OP blanked this out, thinking it was personal info (such as serial number and IMEI).

OP, is this correct (you deleted ModelID in the getvar info), of so please provide it, it is safe to do so. It's not personal info (unique to your device), it just indicates what model M8 (eye versus "regular", etc.).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
That's what I was wondering myself. The product name doesn't match the Eye. And the getvar states it's the regular version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHIN98:
Thanks for your reply. The reason I thought my device was the M8 Eye was because the first thing is that there was no line on top the camera. Second, I recently test the NFC and IR port, but I found out that my device has nor of these. I tried several times, but it didn't work. And here is the getvar:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Everything in your getvar info, points to it being the "standard" M8, not the "eye".

The absence of the "line" between the back cameras, can mean the back cover was switched. We've seen this, including (I believe) ones that appeared to be factory new-in-box.

Although that doesn't explain why NFC and IR blasters don't work. That is a mystery to me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHIN98:
Does the European version of M8 has no lines upward the camera lens?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not 100%, but I believe it does have the vertical line between the dual lenses.

That is why I said that it's possible the back cover was replaced (such as with the M8 Eye back cover). We've seen a lot of M8 devices, with the back cover swapped in order to remove a carrier logo. So you can't trust the back cover to directly match what is inside the phone. For instance we've seen a lot of US Sprint version M8 devices, with (unbranded) Euro back cover.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
That's how my European m8 looks on the back. Ignore those scratches lol.

Everything else has been stated. Your device is a regular m8. Have you checked on the official firmware if NFC and IR are not working?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don Maverick:
Same here. Bought regular m8 and the box says m8 but the cover is of m8 eye, missing the line

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Yep, it was advertised as new-in-the-box. Does that mean the phone was refurbished and not new?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It's very possible. I don't know if we have ever seen a M8 from the factory, without the "line" on the back cover under the camera.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) if you want us to take a closer look. There may (or may not) be some obvious clues that the device is not really "factory new".

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:
Hi, I am looking for help with a problem I have trying to fix a friends phone.

It is a Samsung S5 G901F and it keeps rebooting the Samsung S5 screen, it never gets to the Android screen.

Vol+ and On gives “Recovery Booting” in blue on the top left of the screen, but it never goes into recovery – just keeps rebooting the Samsung S5 screen.

The only way I can get into this phone is via vol-, home key and On to bring up the download screen, press vol+ and I get the Downloading ... + Android character, and:

Odin mode (high speed)

Product name: sm-g901f

Current binary: Samsung official

System status: Official

Reactivation lock: off

Knox warranty Void: 0x0

Qualcom secureboot:enable (csb)

Apswrev: S1, R1, A1, P1

Secure download: enable

UDC Start

I have downloaded several stock ROMs of various vintages and they all download onto the phone without error using Odin 3.09, but when I try the phone it still goes into the reboot cycle.

As a last resort I have downloaded android 4.4.4 ROM G901FXXU1ANK3, and G901_pit_G901FXXU1ANK3_EVR.pit onto my pc, with the intention of trying re-partitioning and downloading the ROM.

But before I do that I would appreciate and thoughts that might resolve my problem?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
And what was the primary problem? Stuck home button?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:
Many thanks for your rely BBSC.

The phone had been lying about unused for about a year. It was working when last used with a working cracked screen.

He wanted to sell it so he replaced the screen (lcd + digitiser), charged the battery and when it was switched on it just kept rebooting.

I took the back off the phone and disconnected the home button. When I tried vol-, home and On, it did not go to the download screen. I reconnected the home button, tried vol-, home, and On and it went to the download screen, so this suggests that the problem is not associated with the home button

I hope this means something to you.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
Ok, the main question is "What's happening."

Based on my limited knowledge and experience, I would say, there are 3 opportunities:

1. A firmware failure. The simplest case. I'd give one out of ten for this variant. Can be solved just by flashing a factory firmware, preferably service firmware or a common HOME firmware and pit-file with reformatting the phone's memory. You say you are going to do it. Wise decision, I think.

2. The new lcd module is produced in China and has limited or no compatibility with the phone. I'd give four out of ten for this variant. Can be diagnosed by temporary reverting to the old lcd with cracked glass.

3. A hardware failure of the EMMC chip. I'd give five out of ten for this variant. You'll understand this if you flash a service firmware in p.1 and the phone does not change it's behavior.

P.S. Excuse me, but you cannot disconnect the home button just taking off the back of the phone.

The home button is soldered in the sub-PCB (USB/charging port PCB) and cannot be disconnected.

The small rectangle connector under a small rectangle cover is fingerprint sensor's connector and has nothing to do with the home button and Odin mode.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:
Hi bbsc, 10 out of 10 with your summary!! I bought the screen for the Samsung S5 i9600. It turns out that there are different screens for the G900f and G901f.

The one I bought was for the G900f variant whereas I have a G901f model.

Thanks for the info on the home button - I had always assumed the cable included the home button function.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
Let's clarify the things a little.

I don't know exactly if the LCDs for SM-G901 and SM-G900 are different.

To say the truth, I don't see any reason for them to be different.

If it was my phone, I'd bet they are compatible.

It's only my guess, as you definitely understand.

But I do know exactly that Samsung has never produced "Samsung S5 i9600" you've bought LCD for.

There was a Chinese copy of SM-G900 called "Samsung s5 i9600 МТК6589".

It was MTK6589 based and looked very close to original.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathValley7:
Hello there Fellows ! Yes we do have a solution to this Problem. I had the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which had the similar problem, the first week, it kept rebooting itself. If connected to the Charger, it worked and after getting frustrated and user reviews that said Wipe the cache and Factory Reset, nothing worked. And had the new Galaxy S8 so kept the Note aside for a week, finally i decide to change the firmware and then came the solution. When i tried to turn on the Phone, it didn't. I charged it, the Battery logo kept popping up and disappearing, thought the charger was faulty but nope instead, the Battery was the issue. Been using it for a month now without any problems. So, rather than factory hard resetting, change the Battery. I bought the copy version for $7 with NFC. So, change the Battery if it's removable, if it's built in, try changing the firmware and if it didn't work, buy a new or DIY Repair. Goodluck ?

When I am going to do my rom flashing etc is it best to remove the sim card to does it matter?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thezoltar:
Long ago in my dark ages of ROM flashing I used to take out my sim card, just to be safe you know. Somewhere in the middle of about 25 different upgrades/downgrades I just left it in out of convenience and it never made a difference. ROM flashing doesn't involve the sim card so I guess I was just nervous over nothing. But then that was just my experience...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Sean P.:
Thanks for the response, does unlocking touch the sim at all or is it necesary for it to be in for anything?

Q - Where is the disable dm-verity zip?

A - You can download it Here

or old version can be found Here

Q - Where is the Magisk zip

A - See Magisk Thread

Q - It says "image not signed or corrupt" when I flashed image

A - This is normal as the image is not signed by Motorola

I have a cedric device. I unlocked my bootloader. Then through fastboot i tried to install twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric.img.

But it says "image not signed or corrupt".

As on the other threads, they said that to directly go into recovery mode ignoring other things. But that did not work. It said "no command".

Please help with flashing twrp.

Edit- It worked after 5-6 attempts.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
It will always say that because the image is not signed by Motorola

As long as it says write OK at the end

The easiest way is to type

fastboot flash recovery then drag the recovery image into the terminal window - this will automatically complete the rest of the command

I'll also write a note for Windows 10 users who use the power shell

You need to put ./ first

Just to let everyone know about encryption on oreo roms

If you have previously encrypted your phone you must remove encryption before flashing an oreo rom by doing format data from the wipe menu (different from wipe data) & booting the phone fully to check encryption has been removed

You can then flash the oreo rom

After flashing this rom you can encrypt the phone again if you want

Encryption is fully supported

My TWRP (official) can decrypt data of lineageos 15 rom (32bit) as Iv just tested it

bootloop to recovery and SD-ext

I went through all this procedure of unlocking and installing twrp yesterday. As I nearly experienced a heart attack, I would like to kindly ask you to expand your Q/A-section for the mental safety of my fellow G5 users.

If you follow each step, you still can run into the bootloop-to-recovery trouble. My system was formatted with an SD-card as extended internal memory, and I formatted everything exept SD-ext, which I might have done. Clearing the misc partition had no success until I removed the SD-card, and rebooted TWRP.

So basically my recommendation is: remove your SD-card before the procedure.

Happy flashing and thank you for your guide.
