Hello, I am looking for Russian firmware for xda Orbit2, who can help?

Привет, кто может слить оригинальную русскую прошивку на xda Orbit2?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Henry_Lee:
I think, for Orbit 2 russian ROM not exist. :(

Я думаю, что поскольку орбит не поставляется официально в Россию, да и вряд ли будет поставляться (все-таки это операторская версия и гарантия идет не от HTC, а от O2), то никаких русских прошивок именно на Орбит не будет.

Можно попытаться дождаться официальной русской прошивки для Поляриса. Хотя я думаю это будет не раньше чем через полгода.

[LG Leon Questions & Answers] alcv20:
Ok so here is my problem. I broke my screen before i had usb debugging enabled, ADB, root, CWM or TWRP recovery or anything like that. I need to be able to access my phone, not just the data. I know there is software that can extract the data, but i want to be able to control my phone with my computer. I have heard that in order to do this i should "contact a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery!....i enabled adb via the default.prop and compiled the kernel and flashed in recovery(sideload). now i have full control over the device.". Can anyone do this? I am kinda desperate.

After extracting the ramdisk from the stock boot image of OSS5.0 / Android O 8.0 for Oneplus3, I noticed that fstab.qcom file is no longer there in the ramdisk. Until OSS4.5.1 / Android N 7.1 this file was present and could be edited to set the flag for data partition to encryptable and to also remove the verity flag ...both of which I found to be very useful.

Appreciate if someone can please help me understand what has changed in the Android O 8.0 and what would be the method to achieve the above?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Looking at https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/disable-dm-verity-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748 and https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4302571&d=1507993390, it appears that the fstab.qcom file has moved to /system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom in Oreo in keeping with Android O / 8.0 specifications. Changing that file means modifying the system partition, which I don't mind as I like to modify the hosts file as the barest minimum change even in my daily use device. But still wondering if the same can be achieved by Magisk and how. Appreciate if someone can help me understand this.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Today's learning:

1. Android O kernel specifications include early mounting of some partitions and Oneplus 3 specifies the system partition in its device tree blobs (dtb).

2. These dtb are part of (...appended to) the real kernel image and not on a separate partition / blob.

3. There are 13 dtb appended to Oneplus 3 kernel and each of them has an entry relevant to fstab which mounts system with the verify flag.

4. Again, in keeping with Android O specifications, fstab.qcom (...now located in the /vendor/etc/ directory) does not include a line for the system partition (...commented out) as mounting the system partition is already taken care of through the dtb in the kernel.

5. That means system modifications cannot be done until the dtb are cleaned of verify flag .... or perhaps the whole of the code mounting the system partition in dtb is deleted and then fstab.qcom is restored in the ramdisk.

Haven't yet tried this and it will be helpful if someone more knowledgeable can confirm that these are the steps to be done to modify the system partition.

[MENTION=2464043]rk2612[/MENTION] great findings and write up!

Just saw your post at magisk beta thread. I'm facing same problem on xperia device with Oreo, and I think we need to change the flag as you stated there.

I've already tried flashing magisk, but dm-verity is still being triggered and phone falls in a bootloop after it reboots.

I'd like to try this method out on my xperia, but I don't know how to convert dtb into dts, and vice versa. Any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance!!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Have you tried patching with Magisk Beta v1456? That seems to take care of the verity flag in the dtb of OnePlus 3.

On Ubuntu, you can install dtc (device tree compiler ...Refer http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/dtc.1.html ) to handle conversion from dtb to dts or vice versa.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] serajr:
Thank you bro!

Yes, I had, latest beta v1456!

Gonna try it out and report back here later!!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
According to https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/scripts/boot_patch.sh (...line 93 onwards) Sony devices may not be handled well by Magisk.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] serajr:
Bro, this is an known issue for all xperia users. Always before we flash magisk (os SuperSU), we do need to convert xperia stock kernel (elf format) to boot.img (aosp format), and fastboot it!

And for the records, this is exactly what I've found with dtc:

firmware {

android {
compatible = "android,firmware";

fstab {
compatible = "android,fstab";

vendor {
compatible = "android,vendor";
dev = "/dev/block/platform/soc/7464900.sdhci/by-name/vendor";
type = "ext4";
mnt_flags = "ro,barrier=1,discard";
fsmgr_flags = "wait";
status = "disabled";
};

system {
compatible = "android,system";
dev = "/dev/block/platform/soc/7464900.sdhci/by-name/system";
type = "ext4";
mnt_flags = "ro,barrier=1,discard";
fsmgr_flags = "wait[B][COLOR="Red"],verify[/COLOR][/B]";
status = "ok";
};
};
};
};

Removed ,verify and conveted back to dtb. Gonna test it out (report you back later)!

Thank you!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
i have a one plus 5T and i dont see an DTB files in the boot.img

can someone post a walk through on how to do this manually without magisk or supersu?

i know i can modify the fstab in system/vendor/etc

but what are the dtb files exactly? and where are they located / how are they extracted?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
DTB are Device Tree Blobs / Binary and not files. These are appended to the kernel in the boot.img.

On Ubuntu, you can install dtc (device tree compiler ...Refer http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...an1/dtc.1.html ) to handle conversion from dtb to dts or vice versa.

You can also hex edit the boot.img and delete the text ",verify" at each instance it is found. Or use Linux command line to do that if you're familiar with that.

Sorry, don't have the spare time right now to write a detailed walk through. Maybe this weekend.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
thank you

is it possible to extracat the DTB files on a windows machine?

i know after OS install the fstab is located at /system/etc/vendor which we can edit before first boot

but id prefer to edit the DTB files in the boot, and add mounting flags for each partition.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
I didn't look around for a windows tool to extract DTBs.

In Oreo, fstab file contains the mount points for all other partitions except /system and you can edit the fstab file as in previous android versions. The only partition which is mounted early through the DTBs is /system and you will see that the /system mount entry in fstab is commented out as that is not needed.

To mount /system with verity disabled, you will need to remove the flag "verify" from the DTBs. I'm attaching a text version of one of the 13 DTBs contained in OnePlus 3's boot image as an example. You will notice the following code

fsmgr_flags = "wait,verify"

...and you need to remove ",verify" to make it

fsmgr_flags = "wait"

To remove ",verify" from the DTBs, you can either:

1. Hex edit the boot image but this will leave the verity key in the ramdisk (...may work but I haven't tried).

2. (a) Unpack the boot image; (b) hex edit the kernel (to which dtbs are appended) and remove ",verify"; (c) extract ramdisk and remove verity.key; (d) repack ramdisk; and (e) repack the boot image: should work

3. (a) Unpack the boot image, (b) extract the dtb appended to kernel / zImage; (c) convert the dtb to dts (text format); (d) text edit the dts to remove ",verify"; (e) then reconvert dts to dtb; (f) append all the modified dtbs to the kernel; and finally (g) repack the boot image (...also remove the verity.key from the ramdisk before repacking the boot image): this would be the cleanest approach but more cumbersome.

Tools needed on Ubuntu machine with Python installed:

1. Unpack and repack boot image: use unpackbootimg and mkbootimg scripts (Python) from lineageos code: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_system_core/tree/cm-14.1/mkbootimg

2. Extract kernel and dtbs using python script: https://github.com/PabloCastellano/extract-dtb

3. Convert dtb to dts and back: use Ubuntu package dtc: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/dtc.1.html
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
ah i see

i guess i should really dual boot this machine haha

i found the mounting options in hex editor for the boot.img (/system and /vendor, i think 13 instances of both)

also the verity.key can be delete when unpacking the boot.img and repacking it with no verity.key.

thank you, i think im able to modify it on a windows machine, ill try it out as soon as a stable oreo comes out for the 1+5T
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] kenet:
I already have the dtb edited. how can I add them back to the zImage or the boot.img?

Thank you very much
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] xdauser'17:
Actually the appending should be done like

cat zImage [I][U]<DTB_FILE_NAME>[/U][/I].dtb > zImage-dtb

So you can get a zImage with dtb

Is there a problem with file or something else? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
You was right , in those files scatter is not puted in and i couldn't find any for your device , but maybe your device are using Qualcomm CPU so try to flash this rom with QFil

here is example for steps to do

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YmP7Gi5iDI
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The WiTcH Er:
try the TWRP recovery file manager and rename it. or

for flashing stock rom using sp flash tool watch this vid https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzyYXAflmOk

download and unzip the rom file

you will find scatter file.txt

select it and proceed.. ✌
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vitezz:
I tryed first method with qualcom flash but port is disconnecting after 5 seconds
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vitezz:
I have TWRP installed on this phone, but I dont know how to access system folder. When I choose system folder, it shows that system is empty, there is only bin folder...

Also I can not see my phone in my computer as a device (like usb).. Is there any hope for this phone? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The WiTcH Er:
First mount system in TWRP then proceed to file manager in TWRP

Then only it will show system files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vitezz:
THIS WORKS.

Charge phone above 50%, after that download all needed files, then do everything as he. After that press vol+ on phone and connect usb, then YOU MUST CLICK DOWNLOAD BUTTON fast (you have 3 seconds and after that port will dissapear).. Thats it

Thanks everyone

Hey Guys I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 Orchid Grey.

It has only been a day and I love the phone but I was so disappointed to see that the phone suffers from light leak.

There is light bleeding from the bezel between the front camera as shown in this picture.

Is this normal and accepted? I saw some phones at a demo shop and the black ones didnt have this while the others did.

Do you guys have the same and if so does it affect water resistance?

Shall I keep it or exchange it and get a new one I got to pay 200$ for it.

Have attached pictures of my phone along with a reference picture of better quality.

please do let me know what you think
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kashb91:
i had ordered my phone off amazon and noticed the light bleed. searched around and it didn't really find a clear answer to say if its a defect or just something that the phone has. i sent it back to amazon, thinking it was bad, and picked one up from best buy, they were the same price, so no big deal. opened up the new one and was met with disappointment, it looks like its a typical thing for the phones. guess its up to you if you want to just go with it or try again with another one. i did take the one from amazon to a shop to see whats up, they suggested to just return it. if they were to try and fix the gap, the water proofing would have failed. best of luck with it, seems like a good phone so far
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
Hey thanks for the reply.

So the one you got from best buy does it have the same problem?

Does light reflect and if so where?

This is what samsung chat told me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kashb91:
yes, the best buy model has the same problem in the same area. the light shows at the front facing camera and the iris scanner. i talked to a rep myself and he had suggested that i take it to a repair center.

*the person you talked to could be right, maybe it is just the lens or something.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pogi.paul0119:
Go for replacement. Practice the warranty thingy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
Is this normal or not I am seriously very confused right now.

Shall I keep it or exchange it

I dont have warranty since I purchased it out of the country. The only option i have is that i spoke to a shop seller who is ready to exchanged it for a new phone with warranty and i have to pay 200$. So i am wondering if the new phone i get also has the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kashb91:
Unfortunately, I don't know if it is normal or not. I'm hoping it is normal, I'm keeping the one I bought from Best buy. I guess in your case it may be worth it to get the exchange, since you'll get a warranty with it. Best of luck with everything!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
well true i will get a warranty with it but i am also paying 200$ bucks for it and if it is the same thing then I would be very very disappointed.

Do you know anyone else who has a S8 or Note 8 and suffers from the same?

Also where does the light bleed occur on your phone exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kashb91:
No, I don't know anyone with the same phone. The light comes directly above the front facing camera and the Iris scanner.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
I do not have this issue here, so I would say its a manufacturing defect, and they are aware about it, and they actually try to make it look like its normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
You must having it increase your brightness to max and keep a white background/wallpaper and then check.

I just went to a Samsung Service Center and first he told me that it was normal and not an issue then i insisted on showing me another phone so he showed me a device whose repairs he had just concluded with a brand new screen and that phone had the same issue! not an issue its just reflection apparently.

Check yours again in a dark environment and let me know

Apparently from the most of the phones I have seen all have this issue to some extent.

I dont know what to do if I should sell it off and or pay more and get a new one or keep it.

When you put a cover on you cant see anything but still once you see you cant unsee it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
Hi could someone who doesnt have this issue post pictures of it with proof so I can show it to my dealer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
So to see it you ONLY have to increase brightness to max in the dark with a fully white wallpaper? Yeah I'll be so upset if I have this..... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
I checked another store and all their phones have the same. I havent seen one yet which doesnt have it.

Also does the notification LED bleed through the bezel when it is turned on?

I mean it is more visible when it is on max brightness and a white background. Does your phone have it?.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Not that I've noticed ever. I'm not going to strain to find it though
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amsro:
No worries it's something normal
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
Does your phone bleed too through the bezel above the front camera and iris scanner?

My notification LED also bleeds through the bezel, is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:
Could you please check if there is light leaking above the iris scanner and front camera and above the notification LED when turned on and let me know. I would really appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salvator101:

Hi

I have searched through just about every thread and tried just about every trick in the book to make my Honor 5c/7 Lite/NEM-L21 to work again but nothing works for my problem. I'll try to describe what I did, what I have tried and what I am able to do with it.

What I did

Unlocked bootloader the official way with code from Huawei.

Flashed twrp recovery

Installed SuperSU from twrp and rooted the phone

Tried to install some custom roms and some stock roms, eventually I tried to install something that apparently wasn't for my specific model and twrp started to throw errors at me

The main error whenever I tried to do something in twrp was "can't mount /cust.." and some more error message which I can't remember

After that I tried to reboot my phone and hoping that it would somehow heal magically, which, of course, it didn't

What I did not do

Take a backup before I started to mess with my phone, stupid, yes I know, but tell me if you have to :)

What I am still able to do

E-recovery: can boot into E-recovery and connect to wifi and search for package info but then it fails with an error message stating that something is wrong with the package

Stock recovery dload method: Starting to install the package but halts at 5% and then the phone reboots and boots with error stating that I should update again, not sure about what package is loading since I think I have a dload folder both on the internal and the external sd card, but I cant see the internal sd card anywhere (loading the external sd card through another phone)

Fastboot: can boot into fastboot with volume- and power button and do almost all the fastboot commands, but adb does not detect my phone.

What I have tried

Googled, looking here and searching deep inside myself for answers (without any luck, needles to say)

Tried downloading a stock rom NEM-L21***B132, Android 6.x Emui 4.1 and extracting boot.img, system.img, recovery.img and cust.img and while boot and recovery flashes fine with this extracted images everything goes ape**** when trying to flash cust and system, with cust I get a partition error while writing and with system I get a sparse flash write failure, I have no idea why this rom fails while I'm able to flash above mentioned files perfectly fine with a stock nougat rom (Nougat is the reason I started this adventure to begin with). When I flashed all the files fine and try to dload the whole update.app I get nowhere anyway, just a bootloop.

Tried to erase and reformat cust and system but when I try that in fastboot I get a remote: command not allowed.

Tried to flash twrp recovery and the flashing succeeds but I cant boot into it, tried several different versions designed for both 'nougat and marshmallow.

What I need

Someone to point me in the right direction because I am totally lost and almost going crazy after trying everything.

All the help and tips I can get from you guys is much appreciated, I'm willing to try everything you throw at me and answer any questions regarding my issue!

Thanks in advance, Jeremias
