If I want to flash the 6.1 rom, which method do I need to use? I see there are 3 different ways to do it, but if someone could clarify for me, that would be great.

I want the new 6.1 with the cube if that helps.

thanks

brian
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Same way as the WM6.0 ROMs. It depends on the format of the ROM you download and your preferences.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] bugsy714:
If you have flashed in the past with Hard-spl then you have to use it again

If you have not flashed yet then using uspl is really easy
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Here's the rom I use:

Open Touch Biggy v3.0 by ttran:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7GY2ZNKD

Then follow these steps:

II. How do I flash an NBH file?

a. USPL

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.

* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

That's it. :-) Welcome to the flasher's world.

This has the cube and is running 6.1

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] thepcgod:
Ever since I upgraded my Verizon S8+ to firmware G955USQS1AQI6 two months ago, I have been noticing decreased battery life (last night my phone lost 22% with aod turned off, most of the drain coming from Android System and Android OS) and more stuttering in general, which is why I have been scared to install anymore updates on my phone. I want to downgrade to the G955USQU1AQGL firmware, which was what I had before installing the crippling update. The question is, if I flash the firmware to my phone from my computer using Odin, will I lose any data? I am asking because a factory reset is ABSOLUTELY the last thing I want to do for my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
Yes you will. No you can't do it without a factory reset.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] EinderJam:
Hello everybody,I have a question :

My P9 Lite (VNS-L31 C432B380)is asking me for B388 update.

I rooted my phone using OldDroid's TWRP 3.1.1-1,and official TWRP.

I know i need the stock recovery to be able to install update from settings.So,i googled a bit,and impossible to find the B380 firmware (my Idea was to extract the recovery from it using Huawei extractor).Then i remembered Firmware finder,and I looked for the B380 inside the App.There I see 2 entries for B380,OTA-MF (290MB) and FULL-OTA-MF (1,6GB).

From which one Can i extract the stock recovery safely with Huawei extractor ?

Thanks in advance !

P.S : if there's others ways to update than unrooting,reflashing stock recovery,installing update and then reroot,please tell me !
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Radical_Musoka:
The way I did it is by downloading the FULL update (it's 2go) an update extractor(found in this forum) extracting the recovery from the update app... Flashing it using adb... Updating normally (make a save of the 2go update and remember the directory just in case to avoid having to dl it again) the reflash twrp and root!!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] EinderJam:
The biggest package I can found on FF is 1.601GB where did you find your 2Go one ?

EDIT : downloading the fullOTA-mf package gave me a 2.51GB update.app file. update extractor sees recovery.img and recovery2.img,which one do I have to take ?
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
My Usb Dac dongle control app seems to be working with the U11 now. I specifically support the HTC adapter.

If anyone is interested:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/pixel-2-usb-audio-control-t3704024
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] speeddemon1891:
Works well. Thank you.

Question though, once you adjust the dac gain is there any way to make that adjustment permanent?
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
Absolutely, and you can have multiple settings depending on headphones/use cases.

See the OP about half way down:

The headphones screen transfers to form entry to set up various headphones you may own. If you know the specs, the app will calculate the Spl (but there is an issue with the Google dongle calculation, it's off by a few dB, Dragonfly is spot on). More importantly the initial Dac gain (in percent) and android volume can be entered, so when you replug, the app will start with those settings. It remembers the last applied headset setting on reboot. So if you liked a dongle gain of 32 of 64 (same as 87 of 175), that's 50 percent. Sorry about the lack of uniformity, but the dongles all have different gain numbers.

The list of headphone entries lies below. A single click chooses the parameters for the listening session(start vol, gain, etc) and will remain for the next Usb insertion as well. To delete an entry, long press on it.

If you get stuck let me know.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] speeddemon1891:
Got it. works perfectly. Thanks again.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] vegetaleb:
I have installed V4A yesterday and tried the gain option to the max but the difference in volume is minimal, is this usb dac gain app using a different way of boosting the gain and so it gives a better result?

Also silly question but is it Oreo compatible?
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bjrmd:
I have not used Viper so I can't tell you how it works.

This app is using Alsa, tinymix to directly control the Dac.

It is 8.1 compatible, meant for Magisk rooted devices.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pantumaca:
And for not rooted devices? Is just what I was looking for but without root.

Anyway, thanks for the app.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] vegetaleb:
Tried it during the weekend, really nice app and the boost is more than welcomed, now my U11 sounds 99% as loud as my ex HTC 10 :D

I am just waiting for dolby to be as refined as on nougat to get the perfect sound quality.

If there is something to say, it's the UI of this app that should have lets say clearer menus like ''save config as'' for example

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Mattzees:
Hi All,

I have a two Relays that have served me well, and I enjoyed having them, but the time has come to pass them on to someone else. Before I do that, I'd like to update them to the most recent versions of stable-release software that is available for them.

For Cyanogen, I have:

cm-11-20150831 (this is stable)

cm-11-20160523 (this is a nightly build)

For recovery I have:

philz touch 6.48.4

I'd like to replace Philz with a newer TWRP, but the Relay is no longer listed on the TWRP website. I'm also wondering if there was ever a stable CM release newer than the one I have.

Does anyone have sources for the above?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] mrigancb:
Is there any one still developing for this device? If so, is it possible to get Android Go on it.. might just breathe new life into it and bring it upto date..
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Casper Young:
Although I'm not a developer I have been working on my SGH T699 from T Mobile. You may already know of the JellyBean and before. Recently I've noticed new builds for the samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G like the Validus 5.0.2 or the Fat Toad. I haven't tried those yet I was trying for a higher version. With 8.0 Oreo it requires partitioning and I need to brush up on that. So I went lower to the 7.0 or the 7.1 Nougat. I started noticing a lot of broken or old links so I had to resort to fishing the internet for most of the packages apparently lost in XDA. I pretty much have all of them and was just starting to try a few out when I ran into problems like I want to keep using the keyboard and Wifi calling or a related Wifi issue. It also crashed, went into bootloop or even soft bricked within a few days. The Roms and packages I've found are highly unstable and I see many had flashing issues. So far I've been tricking my device into taking the flash and even then it doesn't hold long. I'd like 6.0 MarshMallow if I can, maybe 7.1 if they ever get stabler that'd be great. But so far the ROMs for the Galaxy S (relay) are fairly horrible to say the least. I get the impression these so-called developers aren't testing their ROM creations more than 5 minutes and then handing them off to noobs who may be very likely to brick their device trying to get it in and running, only to have it crash repetedly! Or worse, hard-bricked.

I like this device. I think I'll keep working on it.

Ok sir I have a very bad english, the firmware for 3/T is included right? Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] DarkExistence:
no, you need to flash the flashable zip firmwares you can find around here to update to the latest one. We aren't using Oreo firmware yet so the one before that. Same as the majority of roms here.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] kenboyles72:

Does anyone can suggest me a good custom rom for SM-A310F?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
Hello guys,

Is it possible to flash anything to the Redmi 4X Global if the bootloader is locked? Perhaps using fastboot, Mi Flash Tool or some unofficial tool I don't know about? Maybe using the device's IMEI numbers and SN? Just shooting in the dark here.

My situation:

Locked Mi account, credentials unknown. Want to reset.

Details:

A relative of mine works at a store that sells smartphones. Boss rarely bothers sending defective devices for repairs and often gives them to employees instead. A customer brought this device back because some of the pixels on the screen are dead. He said he had performed a factory reset on the phone. They gave him a new one and handed the "defective" one to my relative who noticed the Mi Account Locked thing upon booting. When I got the device yesterday, the battery was dead. I charged it a little bit and when it turned on, it went through the setup normally, I was able to use the device without issues for 30 seconds or so (!), THEN it locked me out! That makes me think that if I let the battery go down to 0 and wait before charging and turning it back on, that will give me enough time to go to developed options and turn on OEM unlock and USB debugging (which needs a SIM card I think for some reason but OK). Then I may be able to unlock it; but that requires a lot of waiting and is unlikely to work anyway.

If you have an FRP locked Samsung phone, you just flash the stock ROM through Odin and it's as good as new. But Xiaomi locks everything down so tightly, there isn't even a download mode (just reboots to system if I choose "download" on the recovery menu)!

Wondering if there's any way to bypass all this? I don't mind the risk of bricking it cause it's useless as it is. Opening the device's back and tinkering is not an obstacle either :good: In all honestly, I understand Xiaomi does this for security (although if Samsung doesn't do it, I'm not sure why Xiaomi even bothers) and it would make me feel better knowing if someone stole my locked Xiaomi phone, they wouldn't be able to use this, but at the moment it's simply frustrating. I also know that officially unlocking the bootloader often doesn't even work, gets stuck or you never get an unlock code (personal experience with broken Xiaomi unlocking system)...

Any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] EnerJon:
i have a bootloader locked redmi x4 and wanted to take its original firmware backup (requires edl-mode) before unlocking/rooting/tinkering the device (i always do this with all my devices), tried every possible solution (except test point) but couldn't succeed.

You can try with deep flash cable or patched fastboot if your x4 has an old firmware...

And as per my knowledge, shorting test points is the only solution for new/updated xiaomi devices to open edl-mode now, only then you can reflash it... Good luck...

if you find any other solution, please share. As currently i have to wait for 3 days before i can unlock my x4...
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
So, I Googled the Test Point method and it worked like a charm! :laugh: Thanks for the info!! :good:

Basically you open the phone's back, you unscrew a small metal plate and then you have access to 2 tiny dots, the "test points", which apparently are built exactly for such purposes.

Instructions:

You unplug the battery (and the display I think although once it worked with the display plugged so don't take my word for it), temporarily connect the test points with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip ?, while the test points are connected you plug the phone to the PC and it miraculously shows up in device manager under "ports" as "Qualcomm 9008"! (Qualcomm drivers need to be installed. If it shows up as "diagnostics..." anything, you did something wrong).

The device is flashable in that state, you use XiaoMiFlash to flash a stock ROM (it's a folder that contains a folder named "images". The flash tool doesn't have you selecting specific files to flash, you need to select the whole images folder).

Pictures attached.

Left: the screws you gotta unscrew

Right: the test points and what you need to unplug

PS on opening the back: insert a flat narrow tool (best to have a smartphone repair kit) where the back plate connects with the front part of the phone (NOT where the glass meets the rest of the device). At first it won't go in but be persistent and patient, eventually it it. Wobble it back and forth and go slowly around the whole device the same way, paying attention not to wound the parts under the side buttons. Once you do that, it'll be possible to remove the back with your hands. Don't yank it because you need to carefully unplug the tape connecting the fingerprint sensor to the motherboard first ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Mister Advance:
Or just wait a couple of days when you ask for a unlocked bootloader :P

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
Hi, I don't think you actually read the post. The device I got was completely locked, not just the bootloader. There was no way to remove the Mi account. Since the device does not normally have a download mode, there was no way to flash the stock firmware in order to factory reset it. The only way that I know of now, is what I did and described above ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Mister Advance:
Whoops, sorry read it to fast i gues then yeah xD

Hi, you were using miui 8 or 9 when you used the test point method?

I don't think it makes a difference though. The test points are a hardware thing.

Hi, as far as I know, there is no other way. The test points are there exactly for cases like yours and mine, where you need to restore a device to factory defaults. There's no reason not to try it. If you are careful, you won't damage the phone and it won't even show that you opened it.
