You can't just follow the guide to become an expert

You will have to go through trail and errors

Guides does nothing if you atleast didn't search and try,Google and xda are your best friends, there is no one way of rooting phones.

Start reading about custom ROMs

Custom recoveries

Understand the risks

What is a unlocked bootloader

You will have to love to read and search, read between the lines

Let's take it into application:

Let's say you have a Huawei GX8

You want to root it

You will go through these steps:

unlocking bootloader

Flashing twrp

Rooting

The most important thing is to never give up, dont panic if your phone had problems,Its your way of learning!!

Stay hopeful,Listen through the panic

You will need to read a guide for each phone (some may work in general)

I'm flashing my Note 5 to 7.0 from 6.0.1 and I'm having an issue with the HOME_CSC and CSC. I want to keep my data so I've read that you're suppose to use the HOME_CSC but none of the firmware zip files ever have that inside. I read on a few sites that I could just leave the CSC part in Odin blank. I want to see if anyone knows what would happen if I were to not use CSC at all if I can't find the HOME_CSC file??

Hello everybody,

i am playing around with flashing my prohet since some time, but run into a poblem

with allmost all roms i try i can not use proxy connections to connect to the internet over gprs.

background is that i use the wap flatrate from o2 germany so i need to connect over a specific proxy.

original rom and other wm5 roms were all fine, as where the tnt roms from gullum

but all the touch roms of gullum or now all versions of the shadow rom dont let me connect with proxy, when i remove the proxy i can easy connect to internet but i have to pay regular instead of using my flatrat.

anybody has the same problem or knows any advice?

thanks

You can't boot from external SD because you aren't able to flash a high modified boot.img if your emmc got read only.

You'll need to replace the emmc or find someone who can flash an updated emmc firmware via isp (but the issue might come back in short time after firmware update).

Thanks for reply.

Well i have to search someone from my nearby city for such service.

Is it not possible booting from external even if the boot sequence is changed, i mean if hardware is modded to change boot sequence?

Humm but it will require the primary and secondary bootloaders then...

The pandaboard has increased by curiosity of such possibility. I think i need to study more...

Hey there, I'm currently using bluestacks on my laptop and been playing AOV for a bit while now.

I would always change my controls (i use wasd mode) to something preferable and comfortable to my hands, but i've noticed everytime i close bluestacks anf probably play for the next hour, the controls i made went back to the default setting. Is this how it really works? I really want my own control to be the permanent one, it's been a bother for me to change it everytime I open bluestacks.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, format data in TWRP like this.

Please note you will need a PC to transfer your ROM and Gapps back onto the device as it does format the data partition in its entirety.

https://i1.wp.com/www.99mediasector.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/twrp-format-data-min.jpg

You can either try regular usb MTP file transfer or if that doesn't work?

Adb push nameofthefile.zip /sdcard

Which will put the file into the root sdcard folder. Then from there flash.

I had to do this on my x829 otherwise I only had about 30GB of data storage instead of 54GB which I achieved after format data and copying ROM and Gapps from my pc
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Have had a Note 8 for about 2 months now (got it 20th Sept), and I've been fairly happy with it so far.

A few annoying things about it, let's start off with the screen. It looks fantastic, it's made by Samsung, why wouldn't it? The curve however, is something I've hated since the S7 edge, not a fan of it, completely useless. Can't even get a decent screen protector to stick on it because of the stupid curves.

Up next we have the software. It's great, very fluid, works very well, but I haven't received a single software update/security patch since the day I got the phone. We're still on the August patch, and haven't received anything newer.

Then there are the speakers. One word, garbage. They suck ass, I honestly think even the speakers on my S7 edge were better. You can try all you want to cup your hand around the speakers, but that doesn't help. There's also the placement of the headphone jack, I may be nitpicking a bit, but seriously having headphones plugged in while you're trying to watch something.... is impossible. It's so uncomfortable to hold and in such a stupid spot.

So for you XZ Premium owners, I've got a few questions:

1) I've been going through some battery life related posts, and they seem pretty good, but most of the screenshots are from when you guys were on Nougat. Has the battery life gotten worse/better since the Oreo update or has it remained the same?

2) How is the camera after the Oreo update? And was the distortion issue really that bad?

3) Is the phone uncomfortable to hold due to the large bezels and overall shape of the phone? Do keep in mind I'm coming from something with virtually no bezels at all.

4) Does the adb command to stay in 4K mode all the time still work on Oreo and does it revert after a reboot?

5) Substratum working fine on 8.0, anyone tried Swift Black?

Would appreciate all replies/answers.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Lazaros_K:
1) Battery life is improved. In nougat I was getting ~6.5 hours SoT. In Oreo I can get ~7.5 Hours SoT. But it depends on usage.

2) The camera is good, I'm quite pleased with it but when zooming on a picture it's grainy due to the post processing algorithms.. You can compare pictures taken with the Note 8 and XZP at GSMArena. The distortion was visible when taking pictures if objects with lines,and square shapes as well as a bit distortion on objects,nothing too crazy , but now it's much improved.

3) I never had a bezel-less phone, but the XZP is very comfortable to hold. The bezels aren't that bad. When I'm taking pictures with one hand, the bezels helps. Or when watching movies or gaming, it helps rest your fingers. Also the XZP has also a curved front glass, so finding a good screen protector might be hard.

4) and 5) Im sorry, I can't answer these because I don't use them.

Also the speakers on the XZP might not be the loudest, but produce excellent sound quality. And the fact that it has dual front firing speakers is very good for gaming, videos, music.

Software wise, there are monthly security updates along with bug fixes. Samsungs have more software features such as night light. But if you watch videos on YouTube, the XZP had some nice software features as well. Smart battery charging, Xperia Actions, etc.

The whole phone is super smooth and as fast as day one. The display is truly amazing. The black levels are impressive for an LCD display. There are 3 display modes to choose from ( SRG-B, Standard and Vivid).

[MENTION=8073795]Lazaros_K[/MENTION]

Thanks so much for answering the questions.

I actually forgot to ask about something you mentioned in your post.

Night Light. I've been using it since Samsung included it in the 7.0 update, it's not available on the XZP? Is there an alternative that works without root?

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Lazaros_K:
Unfortunately apps from the play store aren't as good as a native night light. Unfortunately Sony won't implement night light.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
That kinda sucks.

You also mentioned the screen is curved, there are a few protectors on Amazon and a few local online websites in my country are selling normal tempered glass protectors for the XZP, so I guess it should stick fine?

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Lazaros_K:
I don't use any screen protector so I wouldn't know. There is a thread on screen protectors for the XZP here on XDA which might help you.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] benengyj:
Just sharing what I know about XZP screen protectors (I might not be 100% correct):

- Tempered glass full coverage + full adhesive protectors do not exist other than the one that uses LOCA and UV curing as seen in this thread. The seller is in Singapore and they haven't announced plans to sell overseas yet.

- Other tempered glass options either do not have full coverage to the curved parts of the screen (ugly, IMHO) or do not have adhesive on the entire screen (which causes sensitivity problems). Some claim to have full adhesive but those don't have proper full coverage or have a weird dotted adhesive pattern.

- There don't seem to be any tempered glass protectors for the back.

- TPU based screen protectors are available for full coverage of front and back but are not as hard as tempered glass and might suffer from yellowing over time or have an orange peel effect (depending on brand).

- Regular PET film protectors are the cheapest of the lot and offer full coverage but these seem to come off the curved parts of the screen easily. They usually feel smoother than TPU ones though.
