Yeah, sorry about that man. Was hoping it would work for u. I'm sure you'll get it figured out. It's kind of frustrating not having too many devs on board with this platform. The a/b partitions have been around long enough with the Pixel phones, but it seems like development for those phones is not as good as expected either. I'm strongly considering switching to the OP5T.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
I know what you are saying. if I didn't actually LIKE this device, i would have ditched already. The 5.7" screen in the small form factor was a key seller for me. i upgraded from a Razr M! Shouldn't be this difficult to update. i tried the Pixel2....terrible so many issues. At least this one is more dev friendly. not perfect but better.

If you think of anything else to try, let me know.

Thanks for responding!

Hi

I get the update yesterday after installing this update I dont can make Calls.

When I dial a Number the connection Stands but i hear nothing .

Micro works I test with google search Speaker works also test with Music

I flash back to NMJ32F and all Works
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I sideloaded the update yesterday without problems, everything works fine...much better than before.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] samy1111:
I made an OTA update.

Today I try Oreo Beta

I flash back to NMJ32F and all Works
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
OK some new info:

Slot B when booted into OS shows me Version NMJ32F and everything works fine.

Slot A when booted into OS shows me Version NMJ20D and everything works EXCEPT WiFi.

Fastboot flash boot NMJ32F Stock in Slot B, reboot then sideload NMJ51B OTA fails.

Fastboot flash boot NMJ20D Stock in Slot B, reboot then sideload NMJ32F OTA fails. Expecting package 437 got 417 or close to those #'s.

There HAS to be a mismatch someplace.

All I want to do is get parity between the slots and update to NM51B without losing data/settings. Shouldn't be this difficult.

I must have done something wrong someplace, but damned if i can figure out what!

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Overstew:
I downloaded this.

https://mega.nz/#!US4j0RZA!XDb2uJrh1QlDXS3mZsOOnwdUymuyAjtoOqBAosgagjg

Then ran it. I was completely stock rooted on the November security update (Nougat). After it installed everything to both slot A and slot B, I was able to boot with all of my data in tact. I even flashed the Magisk-boot.img from the Rooting thread for the Dec build before I booted so I would stay rooted.

100% everything exactly where it is, but I am now also on latest update. Hopefully this helps! :fingers-crossed:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Try flashing the entire return to stock dump without wiping. If that doesn't work, ur proly gonna just have to wipe.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDethEgineer:
are you guys sure the phone feels better after this update?? It includes only the latest security patch. Nothing more
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
Return to stock for NMJ32F or NM51B?

Rick
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Overstew:
Placebo.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
SUCCESS!

The back to stock NMJ51B Flash-all worked perfectly. Had a few sparse file errors, but did not affect the outcome. After it booted and i checked all was well, went back to bootloader and flashed the NM51B-twrp image. Rebooted to OS..all was STILL well. Then rebooted to recovery, flashed magisk 14.3 and rebooted. Root restored.

ONE question, why does magisk manager so desperately want to install 14.0 when it clearly sees 14.3 is already there?

Rick
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ver2go:
A little further with the stock recovery. Thanks [MENTION=3747188]Airwolf79[/MENTION].

After a bit on step 1/2 it ends with

unknown volume for path /cache/recovery/uncrypt_status
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Great, glad it worked out for ya. Magisk wants to install 14.0 because it's the latest official version. You can just block notifications if u don't wanna see that. Can you compare your about phone numbers with mine to confirm they are the same?View attachment 4354921
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Ok, Hmmm. This is during sideload, correct?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ver2go:
I get it flashing the OTA update. Flashing back to stock OTA was fine.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Ok, but u are trying to sideload it in the stock recovery, right?

Are u rooted?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ver2go:
I am rooted with TWRP.

I boot into Bootloader,

fastbooot flash boot <stock recovery>.img

boot into stock recovery, power button up vol into hidden menu

go into the sideload update option

from computer adb sideload <ota update>.zip

Starts update does it's 1/2 then stops with

unknown volume for path /cache/recovery/uncrypt_status

during the side load update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Ok, I would try unrooting first.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
Yup...everything is identical.

I believe I may have traced it down to a pre-recovery/root failled OTA from NMJ20D to NMJ32F. One of my boot partitions was still on NMJ20D and when I flashed both -a and -b with a stock image all was fixed.

Thank you for all your help, it was much appreciated!

Is anyone having horrible battery life? Mine is the worst I've had in a long time. I'm losing around 15% per hour. Anyone else?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ChronoReverse:
What does the battery log say is using the battery? Pure stock?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
My Phone Idle is really high. Yeah I'm stock. I installed GMD immersive app 2 days ago when I bought the phone, so I just uninstalled that just in case it is my problem. Other than that, I don't know what it could be. On most phones, I lose about 5% per hour, listening to podcasts while working.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vicrhombus:
This happened to me too. I have Verizon and after updating to NMJ51B, there wasn't any audio in either direction (Mic or Speaker) on incoming and outgoing calls. I flashed back to NMJ32F then upgraded again to NMJ51B and the problem seems fixed now. The only other variable that came to mind for me was running USB debugging mode for Android Auto stability (Auto crashes every couple of minutes if I don't have USB debugging toggled) -- It was after I was driving around for a bit that I noticed that calls were not working. Could be coincidence.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoconepala:
same issue here, same resolution ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ddish:
cant install please help

Can you tell me the method of install? Can this be done from TWRP? Or Adb? If Adb can you please tell me the command line? Do you need to extract the zip? I have tried all methods in this thread and keep getting errors. I cant get rid of the little icon that the phone was unable to update. Driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
That file is from the stock dump thread. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3701681

You need to extract the files to platform-tools and via ADB either flash the flash-all.bat or if that doesn't work (like it won't for me on my Mac) open the flash-all.sh in a text editor and copy paste the commands one at a time. Make sure u unlock critical first, which will wipe everything, and I'm assuming you're already bootloader unlocked as well. You've already got TWRP it sounds like, so I'm guessing u were able to get the correct driver installed and use ADB, right? Where are you getting stuck?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chaoticdeathly:
I just used the flash-all.bat from the NMJ32F_back_to_stock.zip with bootloader unlocked, but critical still locked. I updated via OTA through the normal update menu to NMJ51B, then flashed back TWRP boot in the bootloader, and then flashed Magisk via TWRP.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Airwolf79:
Good that it worked for u, but the devs specifically state that u need to unlock critical b4 flashing those files, so it's obviously up to each person if they want to take that risk. Personally, I'd rather have to set my phone up again from scratch than take the risk of bricking it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
This latest (51B) firmware version is far smoother than any of the other releases imo. Touchscreen is good now, scroll fluidity is much better. Good job essential, hope they keep it up.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
That how i feel after updated mine too but others said it's a placebo!!! who cares???

Enjoy!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] qwahchees:
My phone came with this build out the box, and compared to my OnePlus 3, it's def a little sluggish and the touch is still a bit wonky. I find if I use Google Assistant to search things, the page that loads a "chrome webview" causes the device to stutter for a few seconds.

Keyboard typing can be a nightmare sometimes with the phone ignoring taps or thinking taps are swipes.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I never had those problems even before I updated mine to this new build. Are you using screen protector?

And you may have a bunch of apps running in the background, and I use greenify to keep them in check. I'm unrooted so I used ADB commands to activate aggressive doze, wake up tracker and cutoff.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] qwahchees:
I have Greenify so far but I haven't used adb to allow aggressive doze, and yes I do have a screen protector (does feel like it did change sensitivity quite a bit).

Who knows, I'm trying to sideload to Oreo 1 :cowboy:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Check out this forum before sideload the Oreo beta 1.

https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/how-to/oreo-beta-1-sideload-fails-build-nmj51b-t3716066
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] qwahchees:
Yeah I saw the post, unfortunate that the build date is restricted. I was trying to change the build dates but I'm not sure where Essential is creating their hashes, so it'll Error 21 on me saying that it's not a verified package unfortunately. Oh well, I may just wait till official Oreo since I used Android Wear and would like some battery life haha.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Well, good luck with the beta! I'm in no hurry. My phone runs so smoothly with the last update so I will wait for the official Oreo. :p
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] manaox2:
That's what I did that works as well. I even have TWRP as my recovery still which is nice.

I haven't noticed any real differences in performance from the December update personally.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bryanus:
I had some of the same weirdness as you last night. After flashing the stock boot to both partitions, one of them was still on 32F somehow (and still is). I left it like that, and am just booting off of the 51B side, rooted with Magisk and the TWRP-boot image and everything is working fine.

Should I bother with trying to flash the full return to stock (51B) to get both partitions the same? Are yours both 51B now? Your data remains intact with the full flash, correct? Is it a problem to have the older firmware on the non-active slot?

TIA.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] blackice000:
Just to be safe, once everything was working I flashed 51B to the opposite slot (for me that was Slot_A) I have identical setips now, just in case.

Rick

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
I think that's intentional. In case an official flash fails the opposite slot is supposed to activate as a failsafe.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sublimejhn:
This may be a dumb question, but can anyone give a step by step explanation on how to sideload this update with magisk root and TWRP installed? I have tried going through adb sideload in TWRP but it just fails with no explanation why, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
My understanding is you need to be stock for it to work.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rayan19997:
Hello, i recently installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 as well as LineageOS, everything was working fine and i did a backup of the ROM (with root, xposed and all my settings and datas).

For some reasons i wanted to restore this backup but i cannot do that, the process stops at 54-55% while restoring datas :/ I get error 255 and when i look at the twrp log i see that "dataf2fs.win001" is the archive that cannot be extracted, when i delete it i can restore just fine but this is a 1,5 Gb file which contains important files.

Here is the end of the log:

extracting: //data/user_de/ (mode 40711, directory)

I:Unable to extract tar archive '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/73QDU16909001751/new lineage/data.f2fs.win001'

Error during restore process.

I:Error extracting '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/73QDU16909001751/new lineage/data.f2fs.win001' in thread ID 0

I:Error extracting split archive.

Error during restore process.

extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255

Then i installed a clean EMUI version and i did a backup without any issue but I get the same error when i try to restore this backup and it comes from the same file.

i tried many things like mounting/unmounting datas, format datas, multiple reboots, factory reset before restoring...

I can restore the backup without the datas but the ROM isn't working properly...

Either TWRP is corrupted and cannot extract these files or the backups made are corrupted.

I installed a fresh version of LineageOS but i would like to restore my old backup which was fully customized and btw understand where this issue come from.

Thanks a lot for any help/advice :fingers-crossed:

Hey everyone!

I've just bought a new at&t tilt and determined a problem. I couldn't connect to the internet through neither my home wireless router (netgear), nor any free wireless routers in the apartment building were I live. I connected the tilt to my router, but I wasn't able to acess the internet. I tryed to change different setting but everything was unsuccessful. After I called to at&t( probably 10 times or more) I was told that I can use the wifi connection only within certain special at&t "hotspots". Is it true? Can I somehow remove this restriction?

Thanks,

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Guilf:
Not true. You can use any wi-fi - just like your laptop (assuming it's unsecure or you have the security code). Is your wi-fi turned on via Comm Manager? Are you using the stock ROM or have you flashed a new one? Is your wi-fi set up correctly via Comm Manager (search for Comm Manager and WLAN setting on the forum).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brewser123:
I had the same problem when I got my tilt. After just fiddling around it started to work and I really didn't do much that would make a change.

Use the connection manager and try the wireless settings to make sure it sees your wireless networks.

Power it down and turn off the cell portion and just have wifi running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tk123456789:
I too am having problems with WIFI on my new Tilt at my home location. I have flashed the stock HTC rom (WWE rom: 1.56.405.5 / radio: 1.27.12.11) and everything on the device works perfectly. Even before that I had tried to connect using the AT&T rom, still no luck. I can get the WIFI to connect and stay active, but when I open up internet explorer or opera mini I cannot get any pages to download. I can get a connection from other places that have wifi, both secured and usecured networks and the Tilt's wifi works fine. I have other WIFI devices connected to my home wireless router and they work perfectly. I have tried playing with all the settings on the phone and even on the wireless router, still no luck.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tk123456789:
I just tried your suggestion about turning off the phone side of the Tilt, and having wifi running, still no luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BiPolarXpress:
You are not alone

I had the same problem as you. I tried different configs on my router. I could not even connect to other open wifi spots. I was finally able to connect after flashing to another rom with a different radio. I have tested about five roms so far. Wifi worked most of the time. I am using Dutty's 6.1 and it is working like a champ now. It seems as though many stock Tilts have that problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tk123456789:
I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that the rom and radio version do not really effect WIFI?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tk123456789:
I got my WIFi working! First I updated the router through Netgear. Then I went to a friends house that uses a secured router as well. Then I slid the WIFI to 'best performance'. Then I successfully connected to internet at my friends house. Then I came back home, signed in to my secured router, and voila! It works like a charm now. Pretty fast too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eipiklein:
what radio version do you have? i have unbranded version but i still having the same problem... br
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] things4all:
My Fix

So I had the same problem. Could not connect to home network after ROM. Go to "wireless manager" at first the icon for wifi would not allow selection. I selected bluetooth, closed it, then wifi could be selected. then select settings in wireless manager, if your network is unsecure, just next, next, finish. I was then connected. hope this helps someone out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brad_wp:
I've had a few problems with wi-fi. I've seemed to narrow them down to using unsecure/secure networks. I've found that my Tilt doesn't like to play well with "B" unsecure. Tested this with an older D-link, and Linksys "B" router. Haven't really had any problems with "G" networks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srdjmor:
So I've installed a custom ROM on this phone about 2 years ago. It's my girlfriends phone.

Every once in a while when she turns her phone on it would go into a boot loop several times, and eventually go into the system and function normally. It was very intermittent, but it wasn't a big deal. Yesterday the phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop. What was interesting is that i could not enter into a Recovery Mode, just download mode.

So i figured it was time to just simply flash the original stock ROM.

ODIN 3.12.7

ROM: FMC-G900W8VLS1DPF3-20160725152930 (Canadian Koodo Android 6.0.1)

Flash was completely successful (I've flashed and unbricked many phones so I am very familiar with the process). This is the ODIN log file

Phone restarts with blue Recovery Booting message and is stuck in a boot loop again. Boot loop is always trying to go Into Recovery Mode (just like previously before flash). I know that flash was successful because I no longer have the yellow Warranty Bit message i did when custom ROM was installed, So then i figured maybe i need the PIT file. I found a pit file SM-G900W8_pit_16GB.

I've then re-flashed again with this PIT file (Auto-reboot, re-partition, and F. Reset Time checked) and got an error message
