twrp is fully functioning you need to flash the dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip after instaling twrp and wiping data . follow the instructions found in the twrp thread

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102

1. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.

- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.

- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.

2. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.

3. Download a .tar image of TWRP.

4. Reboot your device to download mode.

- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.

- Read the warning carefully.

- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.

5. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.

6. Connect your phone.

7. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.

8. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.

Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)

1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.

2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)

3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.

4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.

AT THIS STEP YOU CAN DIRECTLY GO TO PART 3 OF THIS GUIDE IF YOU WANT TO ROOT.

5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.

6. Transfer the zip to your phone.

- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)

- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".

- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.

7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs, Kernels via TWRP

Hi,

I have a UK Orange SPV MV700 phone. The ROM is the original factory one of 1.23.61.5. The GPS is working and is running WM5 with no problems so far. i would like to get a 4gb SD mini card for it. Can someone tell me if the new SDHC 4gb cards will work with this ROM version? I do not want to upgrade the ROM is possible. Is there a patch which will make these cards work?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Meekos:
Hi

Using this incredible phone writing this post about an issue I did not foresee. Guess I'm getting old and not being up-to-date on this area.

Bought the phone from USA with the confident that I could make it work here in Denmark. I realize now that it might be a bit tricky. So now I call upon this great community for help and guidance.

Number one issue: 'invalid simcard' appears when inserting simcard.

Number two issue: cannot root with one-click-root.

Number three issue: It won't boot into bootloader.

Without thinking it through I let the phone update hence the 'security patch november 9'. The support from one-click-root told me that this specific security patch was the reason it could not be rooted.

Questions:

Am I right to think that the missing boot to bootloader is because of the severity patch?

And without being able to enter bootloader there is no change of changing rom?

Do you think this situation is fixable?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, a few days ago I left my phone downloading some stuff with Chrome for night. When I woke up I realised that WiFi doesn't work. I checked WiFi settings and noticed that my MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00:00. If I put WiFi on, it shows just "Turning on...". I did Factory Reset but it helped after a few hours, not immediately. A few days have passed and today I have the same problem. Now nothing want to work: Factory Reset, flashing stock ROM using both .raw and .zip, I tried even flashing RR. I found some "tricks" that could help me but they don't work I found two files with good-looking MAC but I don't know what to do next. Is there any option to restore old MAC? Thanks in advance for any help.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Flash-User:
Hi Guys,

my MOthers new Xiaomi MI A1 was stolen this week.

1. Now my Question, is it possible for the Thief to get on her Data?

Theroretically not, because the phone was on last official android update 7.1.1 (nov sec patch)

Phone was saved with a Fingerprint and PIN and ohone was encrypted.

2. Is it possible for the Thief to hard reset the phone via adb or fastboot to got a use for the phone (resell etc)

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ГАСООП:
Even if he would format it, the phone will ask to log into Google account of the user that was logged in before formatting. I doubt the thief is smart enough to bypass it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
1. did you enable "require pin/password for phone startup"? If yes, there is probably no way to decrypt the data without the PIN. If no, thief could unlock the bootloader (Xiaomi is the only phone I know which doesn't perform factory reset for this action) and use the default encryption password to mount the data partition in TWRP.

2. factory reset will trigger FRP, but it's probably quite easy to bypass it with a bit of patience.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Flash-User:
Yes PIN was set on startup.

" If no, thief could unlock the bootloader (Xiaomi is the only phone I know which doesn't perform factory reset for this action) and use the default encryption password to mount the data partition in TWRP. "

How can he unlock the bootloader? I think he need DEV options and OEM unlock enabled, right?

Consider: There is no MIUI on the phone, its a Android One Phone.

Is it possible to bypass this google account verification?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
You are right, I forgot about OEM unlock option (I enable it by default for all my devices). In this case, data should be safe.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
My phone is unlocked but OEM Unlock was disabled in Developer Options... So I think is not a problem having that option disabled.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] gusbalaa:
Try to erase using 'Google Find My Device' i think you can erase the phone using that, also you can know locations where the Device right now.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Localhorst86:
I am fairly certain there would be ways to circumvent the google account verification using fastboot commands and MiFlash. It takes some work and patience, but it should work.

However, as far as I know there are ways to get the IMEIs of the device blocked by carriers when reporting the device stolen. Not entirley sure what needs to be done to do this, but this would render the device useless for the thief.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Imei blocking is not really gonna help. It's too easy to change.

Yes there are ways around everything in this thread and tuts to do it are only a search away. Heck we host most of the tutorials right here.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DarkMenace:
Its a stand alone file called update.zip you put on your SD Card and update to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Where did you get the Oreo update.zip?

And how did you switch back to nougat? Through sammobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick281051:
The Oreo builds are leaked and require you to be on specific builds of Android. I recommend that you do some research yourself and if you find yourself overwhelmed then you should hold off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Already had a look, seems simple enough. Problem is I'm exynos not Snapdragon so will have to wait for the official update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick281051:
Correct, only builds for the snapdragon have leaked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Neozx25:
This was a while ago. I sideloaded the gear app and it fixed my connecting issue. But I eventually came back to nougat anyway for various bugs that I didn't want to deal with. I didn't use sammobile for anything. I used the links in another xda post. I believe it was the one about flashing carrier specific firmware. I used Odin to get back. Now everything has been as it was before I tried Oreo. It's been about a month, maybe longer since I've done all of this. I'm waiting g patiently for the official Oreo update. I hope that answers your question. If not, just ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Okay well thanks for your help, also waiting patiently or at least trying to. Just want the list view in regents, seems a great feature from the Oreo ROM and would be really useful to me

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mbroek123:
I have installed a new ROM on my Vernee Mars and now I am unable to call or send text messages with the device. It seem to have erased or corrupted the nvram.bin file. I tried to repair the IMEI numbers with probably all possible apps. Also methods that use flashing IMEI do not seem to work as my telephone crashes or won't connect with the flashing program for some reason. I have updated the drivers on my computer and used different versions of them, but no luck so far.

The only program that does connect is SP Flash tool. I have found a method where you can directly flash the nvram.bin file to the device.

Also installing stock ROM didn't solve the problem...

Who can help me with finding the nvram.bin for the Vernee Mars? I think it is my only option left for repairing my phone. Or if someone else had the same problem with the Vernee Mars and know a different fix? Much appreciated :)

Any help would be appreciated...

Im a Sprint customer and my contract ends in May, I have learned to hate it... I want to change over to the AT&T Tilt phone... I been reading a lot about mods and unlocking this phone, etc. I understand that unlocking the phone allows me to use it on different networks but how does that really affect things.. what other service providers would support this phone? How does unlocking the phone and using it on another network work in relation to internet access, etc. Would it be that all Im doing is just giving myself the option to use this phone but with a plan from another company? Should I even worry about unlocking it? Just looking for some clear explanation of things.. thanks in advance

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jrharvey:
No different one. Link to the case is in the video.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jrharvey:
Lol yeah. It's not 100% perfect. All of my tpu cases are like that though. Sucks. My pixel 2 XL isn't like that though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bradputt:
i just checked mine, you're right!

my china made tpu case got the exact same offset for the hole of the fingerprint sensor.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ajneuman:
I just received the X-Level Vintage last week and the only noticeable flaw is the uneven fingerprint cutout. Besides that, the case, fits perfectly. The case is thin and has excellent grip! I know that it's not real leather but, it really feels like a quality suede. I'm super impressed with this case. Just enough lip to keep the screen from touching but, just barely.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Krzychu23:
same here!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pvtjoker42:
my x-level guardian isn't "perfect" after looking at the fingerprint cutout, but it's nearly perfect.. good enough that i didn't even think twice about it until i saw this thread.. and so far, this case is IMHO, the only way to go with a curved tempered glass screen protector. Super slim, doesn't impact the screen protector, and the millimeter (or less) that the fingerprint sensor cutout is off center, is a small price to pay..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
How are the buttons? I saw a review on youtube and they have mentioned that you cant really feel the position of the buttons.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ajneuman:
That is the biggest flaw with this case, the buttons aren't good. They aren't really buttons at all. they are just cut outs that allow the fabric to move. It is difficult to find and operate the buttons. Would have been better to just expose the device buttons than what they did.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cgonzalez82:
Agree, if the buttons were better this would be a great case however the way they are makes it difficult at times to find the button you want, let alone use it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mikeprius:
I have this for the pixel 2. The fingerprint cut out isn't that off and it's really thin. My biggest problem with most TPU cases are they have a smooth exterior which eventually just leads to a perpetual oily film that constantly is present. It's always been the issue for TPU fingerprints and oily. Also they are generally more bulky.

Ringke fusion is the other I have used besides this but the cases is a good one compared to many I've used in the past
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] eep2378:
I got this one on eBay. If you want minimal, it's great. Good grip and adds nearly 0 bulk to the device. Been my daily driver for a while now. I also have Ringer Fusion and Spigen rugged armour.

My only reservation with this case is with the sharp edges surrounding the USB-C cutout, as several reviewers had mentioned. What are your thoughts on this? I tend to rest the phone on my pinky to use as a sort of shelf, and this edge might be irritating. I'm wondering if the edges could be filed down with a fingernail file or some such tool.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] tfc87:
Same here. Thanks for the recommendation!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Thank you for sharing this video! I was having the hardest time finding a thin case that still protected the camera and screen, but wasn't as bulky as the Spigen Liquid Crystal (SLC). For some reason, the new SLC's are thicker than in previous years - probably due to that new "air cushion" technology they are touting. All it does is make the phone way too bulky for my taste. I rarely drop my phones and just use a case to prevent scratches and bumps.

This is where the X-Level totally excels. I just got my matte black today, but also ordered a clear one from China (not sure if it's legit or a knock-off), but for only $5... not a big loss. I'll admit though, the X-level is still a bit slick to hold in the hand and I feel like the phone had more grip without a case. Plus, it made the power and volume buttons super mushy. I've never cared about how buttons felt until I put this case on. It made a huge difference, but not in a good way. The SLC case I had was super clicky and felt reassuring with each press. The X-Level doesn't click at all and sometimes makes it hard to tell if the button press was registered by the phone.

The squeeze gesture is easier to activate now too, so I may increase the sensitivity a bit as I have found it accidentally activating when I place it in my car cradle. Anyway, that's a long enough review for now. I've only had it for a day, but plan on keeping it unless something else amazing comes around.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
I've also received the clear version and it has frosted edges on the sides of the case. I'm not sure I like that as I wanted the whole thing to be clear. This is because I really wanted to make my Pixel stand out from the crowd of black phones by using a skin, and I still wanted the protection of a case. So here it is, the clear case on top of the skin!

Like I said, I wish the sides were clear too, but otherwise, I love it.
