[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] plakonn:
I would like to know, which sensor do I have inside my redmi note 4x. How can I check it?

I think that "goodix" is inside. If I'm right, I would like to replace it for "fpc" sensor, but I've no idea how do I know, if the new sensor is really a "fpc" sensor.

Also, do I need to reinstall the "rom" to apply the changes of new sensor?

And are there any visible differences between those sensors (sometnhig what can i see when i look on them?)

later i want to install oreo rom and i want to get my fingerprint sensor ready (i have two sensors but i dont know if there are fps or goodix)

someone can recomend where i can buy fpc sensor
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] coldplug:
Short answer, no you can't change the sensor that came default. Its a hardware, soldered to the main board itself. You could try to reassemble your phone and try to get to the physical chip and change it, but that could be more hassle than its worth, and imho a really stupid thing to do.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Broberg:
Stop trolling. You can easily change the fingerprint module without problem. It's connected with a flex cable, not soldered at all to the main board.

You can check yout fingerprint sensor with the service menu

Go to dialing screen, enter the *#*#6484#*#*

And the first test tells what screen, fingerprint sensor, camera module etc the phone is equipped with.

Give it at a try
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Sachin:
Wanna know what sensor you've got?

Go to terminal Emulator and type this

getprop | grep goodix

Show me the output. I'll tell you which sensor you got

So a few days ago, I finally rooted my fire hd 7. (i had to downgrade to fire os 4.5.3) Now I can technically go into recovery mode, but it isn't recovery. It says

Fire System Recovery

Your fire doesn't seem to be able to boot. (i can boot by clicking restart)

Reseting your device to factory defaults may help you fix this issue

There are two choices

Reboot your fire and Reset to factory defaults

I have tried both and I still can't access recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Hakansoeren:
Hi Guys, its my first post here. I installed TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and rooted it and installed afterwards the Renovate Ice Rom Version 6.1. When i want to play a YouTube-Video it shows sometimes only the Play-Button and nothing happens when i click it. When i want to play a Movie in Google Play Movie it lags and reloads the video a few times and tells me soon to restart my device. 9Gag doesn't want to play videos either. I tried reinstalling all the apps, clearing their cache/data and even cleared my device cache partition. Is there any way to fix this without flashing a stock rom? Any Suggestions? Appreciate your answers... :)

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] king0r:
Hello,

it seems to be that sth went wrong today. I wanted to factory reset my OP3 but right now nothing is working.

The initial set up was the following:

Unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed. Oxygen OS + several custom ROMs installed

What I did:

I deleted the data from system partition since I thought that they Oxygen OS system data will be deleted.

Problem:

Right now I get a encryption hint without the possibiity to factory reset my OP3 since I don´t get access to the data partition in order to upload a Oxygen OS .zip on my OP 3 from my PC.

What can I do in oder to factory reset my OP3 with the help of my PC? I want to install the OnePlus 3 OxygenOS Open Beta 28.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
Search mega unbrick guide method 2 and then flash the last OnePlus recovery and then flash OB28
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] king0r:
I managed to flash the most current Oxygen OS on my OP3 by doing a factory reset within TWRP and flashing the Oxygen OS .zip and Magisk 4.5.

BUT after rebooting, the file system seems to be encrypted again in TWRP (even allowing explicitly file modifications!). This means that I am not able to flash another .zip.

How can I manage that the file system remains decrypted also in TWRP?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] king0r:
I don't have access in TWRP to my files in oder to flash an OS Update and so on. It seems to be encrypted in TWRP. How can I manage to have access to all my files located in the internal flash?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
If you boot OOS without any force encryption disabling mod them it will encrypt. It's not a problem at all if you use the right TWRP. Pick the TWRP from the Bluspark thread and you should be fine.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] XDRdaniel:
Well, there is a way to decrypt the device, but you'll lose everything. Reboot do fastboot and connect to pc, then type from CMD "fastboot erase userdata" or "fastboot format userdata"

I was already using

BUT nevertheless I don't have access to any file (e.g. .zip) even using the newest version of the Bluspark TWRP. Every directory is listed with 0 Bytes.

When accessing TWRP an Error message comes up but I can allow file modifications. But this doesn't help to get access to any file.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] madsponge26:
Flash the stock recovery

Then after flash stock recovery boot to recovery all wipe (internal storage will be deleted). Done!

Flash official or Blu spark twrp. Go to Mount>check the internal storage.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] king0r:
Thanks, but this means that I will lose all my data located on my phone??

Will at least the already installed OOS remain?

With kernals we're close to root and twrp, perhaps xposed.

Anyone who's working for/with able to provide a progress report?

Perhaps a test boot.img?

Update 23.12.17 Proof that root is possible by Xshooter726

Update: 28.12.17 by DarkestSpawn

1, A/B partitioning needs smoothed out in twrp

2, Wi-Fi driver issues in twrp

3, no factory images for those that don't read through all the subdirectories and rush things and brick their device

4, waiting on the generous purchase delivery of a Razer phone to be delivered to Dees_Troy

While in the camera, the scroll wheel use to change the type of picture (video, contact, gps photo....) The wheel does not change the type of picture with the fixed camera. I jumped on XDA in October and no one has attempted a fix that I know about since I've been here.

I recently downgraded the camera, as a test, because it has been so long since I was able to use the scroll wheel to change type of picture. The version 4 of the HTC Camera definitely utilizes the scroll wheel to change picture type. I wish it were something as simple as a regedit to make it work as it did.

Setup: Pixel 2 XL, December Factory Image (Android 8.1), stock kernel, bootloader & critical unlock, Magisk 14.5420, TWRP

Recently when I plug in my Pixel 2 XL, the lockscreen will show "Rapidly Charging", but it will only display for a few seconds, then disappears. It doesn't change to say anything else, it just disappears.

Compared to my wife's Pixel 2 (not XL), it will constantly say "Rapidly Charging". She's on a slightly different phone and is on 8.0 still.

Is this normal behavior or do I possibly have a defective unit?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
It's normal, don't worry about it. Our phones don't really fast charge anyway. You will only ever see 9v/2A when you are in the range of 0-20% and usually for just a minute or two. After that it tapers way off. The P2 is effectively capped at 10.5W. Read more about it HERE. Relax and enjoy your new phone.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
I see a lot of new people showing up on the forum, therefore would like to provide heads up for the 2017 Xmas season. First of all, do not rush this!!! Take a few days/weeks to get comfortable with the Android, if you are a total newbie.

Yes, root is still easily accessible to ANY FireOS version, if you have Fire HD 6/7 2014!

Your options to root are as follows:

1) if you still have FireOS 4.x - use Kingroot directly to get root, install TWRP

2) if you have FireOS 5.x - try Kingroot first, if works - install TWRP (link). If Kingroot does not work, go to the next line

3) if you have any unrootable FireOS 5.x - sideload FireOS 4.5.3 (link), use Kingroot to get root, install TWRP (link).

4) if you have FireOS 5 and want to keep your user data intact (i.e., no factory reset which will have to happen if you go to 4.5.3 and then back to FireOS 5) - try this restore approach (link), it will write TWRP directly into memory. The only issue is that it may not work with the more recent FireOS versions.

Now, once you have TWRP working, proceed to install the latest rooted FireOS 5, as per this link.

Good point, any 4.x version can be rooted directly by Kingroot, no need to go to 4.5.3 !

305a5546ff8960b51cd573b59a05cde6 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

Since I dont have backups, I guess I am screwed. :eek: Would this boot in TWRP?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Did you do this :

dd if=453_uboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

?

Most likely, there was some junk (the prior UBOOT was larger), so that it has non-zeros where zeros are assumed.

You can try to run this again, where you first zero out the entire UBOOT partition:

First:
dd if=453_uboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

(this one makes sure that you have UBOOT image handy, don't want to search for it when you have zeros instead of UBOOT, LOL!)

Then:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
dd if=453_uboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

In any unlikely event where you do mess up, this should be recoverable via aftv-tools, if the device never had FireOS 5.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] smasher007:
Thanks, zeroing out the block made it work! I used the below command before writing that block again.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

So now that I have TWRP finally, do I just go with the below steps?

1) Boot to TWRP

2) Wipe Data except internal

3) Flash this file via TWRP: 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip

4) Flash this file via TWRP: update-kindle-20.5.7.9_user_579279320.bin

5) Install JmzFireHDTool_v4.apk and get Gapps

The goal is to get the latest FireOS with Gapps with Root and keep TWRP. Does this seem right?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Well, it's a bit different, see this:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

If your Fire never had FireOS 5, use this file for everything: 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip (earliest is best!)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] smasher007:
I am finally on 5.4.1 with Gapps, my nephew will be happy! Thank you! :victory:

One last question, is there a specific method to get TWRP working with 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
5.x bootloaders cannot boot TWRP (so one must keep stock recovery with 5.x). Instead, temporarily replacing bootloaders with 4.5.3 version together with TWRP gets one into TWRP. Then 5.x bootloaders need to get restored or 5.x won't boot. That why that post #2 on TWRP is kind of complicated ;)

But, regardless, it seems that there are still tons of happy customers there ! :D
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
You should just skip flashing any bootloaders, and just flash recovery only. This way you'll have 5.6.0.1 bootloaders, which are flashed by OTA.

For GAPPS, you don't even need to worry flashing those in TWRP. Just use the SuperTool to install those as user apps, they will work just fine:

https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Clonimus74:
Hi all,

As I understand it is impossible to get OTA on rooted phone with costume recovery.

What is the solution for updating the phone?

As far as I can see the only solution is to flash complete ROM whenever it is released, but that means factory reset, re-installing the apps, and re-setting all the system settings to my liking everytime, and that just sucks.

Is there a better solution?

I remember that with the galaxy s3 I had it was possible to get flashable zip of the OTA updates, I couldn't find a similar thing for the Honor 9
