TO ALL WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR PHONE:

YOU CAN ONLY USE YOUR OWN BACKUP.

I'VE RUN TESTS AND CAN CONFIRM THAT TRYING TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S BACKUP WILL NOT WORK AND COULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE.

Sorry, I can't help you.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] PupPupG:
Would you be able to post a full backup for those who have messed up their system and data?

My phone has no system or data partition intact so I have no way of booting up the OS as its gone.

It would be a huge help :)

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Aburel18:
i don't know what i am doing wrong or the file itself is not compressed how should be tried different software to unzip it and i get error
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kdogguk:
I haven't looked into backup for the razer yet, but shouldn't the TWRP backup be in tar format, not rar?

yes sir after razer logo apear three icon i bought it from three i got three in the box so for sure is three

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Aburel18:
i got the corrupt message after i flashed twrp, i don't know how you get it now. did you manage to boot?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Firebuster:
Nope doesn't boot. After the corruption message it just sits on the boot screen
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Aburel18:
It can't past the error message.tried different restore and staff but no luck.they said make sure you do backup if something else happens you just restore . I done this but I can't manage to boot . I think the problem is twrp once I flashed twrp that it no more stock recovery how much I tried to go back to stock recovery without luck. So twrp is unstable or is unstable with three related device

i wish somehow to get the stock recovery img exactly like twrp to flash it exactly like twrp to boot it exactly like twrp to restore my phone back
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Firebuster:
I took the boot backup from the "Restore from TWRP" guide over on the guides thread and used that and it gets to the green threads circling the screen part but never makes it into system
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Aburel18:
how do you done it ? how do you take it ? because if i try to take it out from that .rar file i got an error. ho do you unzip it ? you can get both 2 files? i got an error for the actually boot image

Ill send the unzipped raw files when I get up tomorrow

I have the same issue with the Three Razer Phone. I get the message saying the device is corrupt and no matter what I have (Stock or TWRP) the phone will still show the message. I submitted a support ticket with Razer about the corrupted issue. Its not covered due to the warranty being lost after unlocking but I'll keep you all up to date with what they say.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Firebuster:
I think we're just going to have to wait for custom ROM's to get back into the system

I was yesterday at three UK and they said there is no warranty from them the warranty is from razer they just selling the phone . Super clear for me . If I will buy an TV and after a month gone faulty (let say) I will go back with the TV to the same store from where I bought it ,right ?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] darth62969:
No... you would contact the manufacturer and go through them, unless you have a damage protection policy with the store, like I should have gotten when got my phone from Microsoft. AND that damage protection policy would only apply to damage and not warranty faults, where you would still have to go through the Manufacturer, unless the manufacturer specifically wants you to return it to the store *cough* topping *cough*.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] FritzCT:
Return it as "not fit for purpose" or "unsatisfactory quality" under the sales of goods act. That relates to the retailer not the manufacturer. They must either repair or replace "within a reasonable time and without causing significant inconvenience".

I received new LeEco Le Pro 3 AI (X651/653) few days ago. In section about I found EUI version 5.9.028S.

Today I received note about new update from current ver 5.9.027S_10271 to new/latest ver 5.9.028S_12161.

I started update 1.73Gb but after downloading (about 15min) I received message Unable to verify and found with file manager one file with name VerifyFail.zip 1.73Gb.

After phone restart new downloading starting automaticaly again and all is same, after 15min I received message Unable to verify and found with file manager new file with name VerifyFail.zip 1.73Gb.

Situation is same after 5-6 downloadings.

My questions are:

1. Why in my phone I found ver 5.9.028S, but update offer from current ver 5.9.027S_10271 to new/latest ver 5.9.028S_12161 ?

2. Why after each download system write: Unable to verify ?

3. How to stop future downloadings (in setting auto-update is already off) ?

What you need to do is to download fastboot 25s rom then you can update to official 28s.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrimsonXG:
Alright, recently as in like 5 minutes ago, I've been getting blank no subject texts from two of my contacts. It is clearly a virus of some sort and am not downloading the file, but the texts aren't stopping and the mms is constantly trying to auto download the file when the texts arrive (fortunately they are failing). I would like information on stopping this from continuing and have notified my family that if this begins happening to them to not download the file.

I've tried scanning for anything already on my phone and disconnecting from my wifi in case that was compromised, but they still keep coming. I even checked the phones of the contacts that were sending me these texts and they show that those texts weren't even registered in their history.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] boe:
Hello,

When people call me I speak through BT and they sound loud an clear. However when I try to listen to a voicemail I have to be in a dead silent room to even remotely make out what they are saying when playing back through Bluetooth. I have the BT volume turned all the way up. I switch to speaker, they are loud and clear. I'm not sure if this is an android issue or an LG issue.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] boe:
Also no problem with google driving directions through Bluetooth. THe only time BT is too quiet is when playing back voicemails. I have to switch to speakers every time.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
How do you listen to voicemails? Through phone by dialing the voicemail number or through a voicemail app?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] boe:
Good question. It turns out that the apps is what is quiet. When I dial *86 my voicemail is loud and clear. Any suggestions (other than not using the VM app)?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] boe:
I ended up trying another VM app and it didn't have the volume issue. Thanks for pinpointing the source of the issue.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Glad it's fixed. Ive only ever tried the T-Mobile voicemail app and it works alright except for the fact that it doesn't turn the screen off when trying to listen to the voicemail and if I manually turn off the screen then it stops playing so the only way I can listen with activating stuff with my face is speaker mode or Bluetooth headset.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Marzipan Outlaw:
Hey guys.

So I saw some articles on the internet on changing the imei number of a phone but all those methods required a rooted device. So I was wondering, if we unlock the bootloader, root the phone, change the imei number and relock the bootloader, will the imei number change back to it's original or will it stay like that or will something else happen ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] alkesh95:
First its ILLEGAL. Yes it's illegal in all caps.

Don't attempt it. High chances of hard bricking your phone.

And i dont its very simple to change. As it will hardcoded in the phone. So it might return if you change it.

OEM and regulators went through the trouble of keeping IMEI unique for a reason.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
There is usually no valid reason to change the IMEI, so you won't find support for such actions on XDA. But in theory, IMEI is stored on a separate partition, so once you change it, it should stay that way.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sandrocks:
And you might not be able to register on the mobile network if new IMEI is blocked by the network.

And also might not get any OTA updates.

Better don't change it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DualBandWiFi:
Probably he didn't pay and his actual IMEI is blocked by the carrier lol
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Marzipan Outlaw:
Actually I asked this because the new phone I ordered had a display issue and I asked for a replacement and I noted down my IMEI just to check if those guys do temporary fix and return the same phone.

That's a good practice.

I'm having an issure with Hotmail after I installed NexVision lastest ROM which is based on WM 6.1. I'm thinking that the Hotmail issue may be something that changed in WM 6.1, but maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Rather than letting me setup Hotmail to be checked and downloaded to the phone, like it has been setup in the past. Now when I try to use the e-mail setup utility it tells me to goto http://windowsmobile.com/emailsetup/live is there a way to get it setup like it was in WM 6.0 I don't want to have to use a web based version. I tried searching on this, but came up short. If it's been brought up I'm sorry. I'm sure it's a quick fix, I'm just clueless. Thanks...

Having WiFi and fingerprint issues

You sure it is a good idea to just delete those files? I would have guessed that I need to replace these (nougat version from backup) with the oreo version to have it working just like before the restore.

/sdcard # rm /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
/sdcard # rm -rf /data/system/users/0/fpdata
/sdcard # rm /data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml

I'm having the issues with wifi and fingerprints. Neither one is working. I'll try to figure out how to fix this.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] olivier380:
[MENTION=6833258]zdimension[/MENTION] Thanks for this guide, I don't have time to test it yet, but I have a question

At this point in the procedure, adb shell is still using root (before flashing magisk) ? How is that possible ? Does the adb /sideload preserve root ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
These commands should be run while the phone is in TWRP. Also note that adb /sideload is not used here, only adb push.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
If you delete them, they will be generated automatically at the next system boot. But you could also make a backup of those three files before wiping /data, store that somewhere, restore Nougat /data and then restore your backup of those three files. The result would be the same.

Note: actually, not exactly. Erasing the first file won't change anything since it's not used anymore in Oreo, but the two other files contain the fingerprint configuration (list of saved fingerprints). So,

Either you remove the files and you have to save your fingerprints again at next boot

Either you restore them from an Oreo backup and you'll get the fingerprints you had saved during the "first boot" procedure when you rebooted the phone right after flashing the OS

But the result is mostly the same: everything works. Deleting the files ensures you get something clean. If you restore from an Oreo backup I can't guarantee the result (as it may interfere with other files from the Nougat backup).
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] frigidazzi:
10 bucks to make a script to do this all for me haha.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] olivier380:
[MENTION=6833258]zdimension[/MENTION] Thanks for the clarification ;) Another thing you might add to the files to download would be Magisk (optionally). In this kind of guide, I've always find it useful to download everything first.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
Oops, forgot to add it :P

I added the link, and also instructions for how to un-root afterwards for those who would want it.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] olivier380:
To improve the guide, here are some ideas :

- You should highlight that rm -rf is a very dangerous command, and that it needs to be checked twice (especially the targeted folder)

- It could be useful to use the du -csh command to check the size of a folder (to estimate the backup time for example).

- As a safety measure, one could md5sum the tar file before and after using adb pull

What do you think ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
Thanks for the ideas! I updated the post (and I added a changelog at the bottom for future reference).

Followed guide for successful upgrade from 4.5.15 encrypted, unlocked bootloader w/ Magisk root.

One note, after the first complete wipe and flash of the full ROM, it was getting stuck on first boot and never completed. Discovered that I needed to not just wipe the Data partition but Format it in TWRP, to clear out the old encryption I think. Magisk wouldn't install either until I did this.

Regarding the

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] quick05:
if we only have the BL unlocked non root and stock recovery can we only ota without any loss of data ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
Thanks for feedback, I will add that to the guide (although it worked with just Wipe for me :confused: )
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] olivier380:
Have you rooted the 4.5.15 with Magisk or SuperSU (which is not compatible with Oreo anymore) ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
I stopped using SuperSU when it was sold to that shady company. Also, Magisk is better imo.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
Official OnePlus support said that nothing is guaranteed if your bootloader is unlocked. But since you're on stock recovery + non rooted, you could always try. But backup everything first. Some people here on XDA have reported that it doesn't work, though.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] antares-gr:
Just followed your guide with no problems. Thank you very much!! I can confirm also that you need to format data after the wipe otherwise it gets stuck in a bootloop!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elight3:
Thanks so much for this. I was able to successfully follow the guide and get upgraded to 5.0.1 without losing any data. In fact, I even messed up one step by failing to include the Android directory in the sdcard.tar backup (perhaps that should be more explicit), but it doesn't seem to have affected everything; all of my apps seem to have retained their data.

A few notes:

1. The file size of twrp.tar was ~14GB but when executing the pull command, it recognized it as only ~1.3 GB. As a result, the pull was not complete until it reached over 1000%. All the more reason to do the md5 check.

2. As others stated, I needed to format the data partition, not just wipe it.

3. I might recommend also including a "summary" version somewhere on what this guide does. Scrolling through the guide the first time, it seemed pretty daunting, but really all that you're doing is: backing up data partition and internal storage; wiping device; flashing Oreo ROM; tweaking a few files; and restoring backed up data and internal storage.

Thank you again so much! Glad to finally be on Oreo.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zdimension:
Thanks for the feedback! I'll add a summary to the guide.
