[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazostat:
Tell me only this to clear it on my mind.

Now i have stock oreo, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted. If i go to TWRP and wipe system and data ( and boot?? or this causes brick?? ) and then move a rom ( custom or not ) to internal memory (without exiting TWRP!!) and install it, this is a 100% clean install? Or if i wipe system, then i cant access TWRP anymore?

And last question. If the above statement is true, the rom i try to install must be the same version and the previous, if i dont want to brick my device? Cause the kernel has memorize it?

Just help me clarify these things and i think i will have my question fully answered!

Thanks i advance guys!

This link shows the steps to clean flash a rom : https://www.guidingtech.com/47725/flashing-rom-guide-twrp-android/

But this applies if your current rom and the rom you want to install have the same android version, right? What if i have android 6 and i want to clean install android 8 custom?

Someone delete this thread pls.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi there,

I hope this is the right place to post such question, otherwise, please feel free to move to the right place.

I am quite into mobiles, since day 1 (1999 for me). This is also why I bought an HTC G1 ...

Anyway, when installing "Network Connections", I was quite surprised, how many connections, how many apps had, to several servers, even of services I dont use. My weather app calling Facebook, even though I dont have facebook on my mobile et all. "Brave" Browser, no tabs open, however, six connections...

Then the news with the Apps using trackers (PayPal, Outlook etc.). I really like my privacy, but I dont see, that this is respected. I do know, that nothing comes for free in life, and I do know, that it is a trade-off, data against services. And for Google it is okay (Google Maps e.g. couldnt live without it), but I think a few too many, want to have a peace of the cake, in particular, after I have paid for the apps (because, I also know, they need to make a living).

Anway, long story short, what is there I can do to protect myself, learn how it works etc. Pleasese refrain from tellin gme to sell my mobiel, turn off the internet etc ;)

I used xprivacy on my Nexus4 - still a good idea?

I am using Android and iOS.

Thanks a lot in advance
[General Questions and Answers] :
Thank you

Thank you [MENTION=5056446]comfortable[/MENTION] - I really appreciate you took the time, to give me such a long and detailed reply.

Persepctively a complete avoidance of Google is the long-term goal. At this stage, I am more interested in avoiding smaller fish (like my alarm clock, which unfortunately offers a unique feature: slowly increasing alaram sound, gibes you a relaxed wake-up).

I am using Adhell already, and already diabled background call via AMB shell, however this made apps stop working compeltely (Runtastic e.g.).

Thanks for pointing out the relevant components! Thats quite helpful... I already condiered installing pihole and surfing via OpenVPN so this would filter out quite a bit of such stuff?

So yes- thanks again, I have a new project and will work off the measures you listed!!! Thank you. :good:
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akumm44:
A few days ago, I got an update for my Samsung Note 5 (SM-N920V) which is currently running Nougat, from Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. I tried to run the update from my laptop and the update failed. I tried to run the repair and the repair failed. The error my phone was showing was "Secure Check Fail (Radio)." My device was bricked. I tried using Kies and SmartSwitch, but still get Secure Check Fail (Radio). I tried using ODIN, but still the error would show "Secure Check Fail (Radio)" at the end of the download. After using ODIN to download just the PIT file, it's working again, but I have in the settings "Service Provider: KT twophone service" and only have CDMA option for mobile networks (no APN settings). I was previously using this on a GSM network (not one of the big names).

Does anyone know what the "Secure Check Fail (Radio)" means?

Or how to get GSM access back on the phone?

(I am not trying to root the phone, I just want the stock Verizon version back!!)

Someone have an Idea about it?

Flash work, but I stuck in the black sony logo with a Stock and Custom, I Try unlock my bootloader again same stuck in black logo, The unlock was reported with success in Fastboot but don't show the android screen after this.

But the flash still working. I don't have no more Idea to recover my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tux111:
Have you tryied with EMMA software from Sony? Restore it completely with that and should work.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenSp:
I tryied with Flashtool and don't worked, my phone was with Lineage 15, I recovered my TA Backup, flashed a Stock and all was worked fine, but I don't restarted my phone.

I was installing the applications when I test the Pokemon Go and my phone reset, after this entered in Bootloop, I can flash with flash tool normaly but don't work, still in Bootloop.

I tryied unlock my Bootloader to go back to Lineage but don't worked too, success in ADB unlocking, but when I restart the phone not show the android flash after unlock bootloader.

I used the Xperia Companion to restore my phone but don't worked, so I tryied unlock the bootloader, this is really strange.

Have a way to I recovery my TA backup in Flashtool or Fastboot? If I Restore, I can lock my Bootloader again and try send to Sony to Repair, it will have a cost but is a solution...

Flash a Stock ROM to block bootloader (doesn't matter if it boot or not) and after use EMMA to restore stock firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenSp:
Ok I ll try it, but... I tryied restore my phone with Xperia Companion Repair, It flash the stock again, but not worked with me, I ll try use EMMA to restore. But is very Strange, the flash work, only problem is this bootloop, In my old xperia, flash a stock rom solve the problem, but not is this case now.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tux111:
Not so strange as you think. When you switch from stock to a modded Nougat or Oreo ROM , i think a part of the system is being upgraded and need some component not present in a common flashtool firmware to work again.

Only EMMA for me fixed the problem everytime i want to come back to stock again.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenSp:
I Tryied the Emma Tool, but don't work in a Dual Device, I receive the message No Available services matched the connected device

It's strange, don't matter, I Flash, and Re-Flash and don't boot, I try a downgrade, the same stock rom, and nothing ._.

A strange thing is, I Flashed the FTF 23.0.F.1.74 but always show me in Emma or other tool 23.5.A.1.291, The flash occur with success but not work.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenSp:

Did you try flashing different firmware versions? The one you flashed might be corrupted.

Try downloading a new fresh copy of the firmware and use flashtool to flash it.

Don't connect the phone into flash mode before flashing. Once you select your firmware it's going to get built and then it will prompt to connect your phone.(Holding Volume Down + Power)

Until you test with Flashtool 0.9.18.5 Windows 7 Flashee TFT original and the TLF revived, try Flashtool 0.9.18.5 Windows.

Friend happened to me the same as you, I also had the TLF stuck in the Sony logo.

Try flashing several original TFTs with Flashtool 0.9.24.4 from Windows 7 and nothing did not Flash TFT and it was still locked into the Sony logo.

Until I test with Flashtool 0.9.18.5 of Windows 7, I flashed the original TFT and the TLF revived.

Uninstall Flashtool 0.9.24.4 from Windows, delete all your files, Flashtool folders from the C disk and Flashtool user folders.

Install Flashtool version 0.9.18.5 and try installing a TFT.

Hello Trinity forum,

iam intedning to buy a Trinity P3600, as i see on the phone spec., it does have a built-in GPS module.

however the WM6 and WM6.1 Roms posted in this forum doesnt have any indication to support it, am I right?

another question: from your experience, do you recommand it? the spec. seems to be ok, fast CPU, big ram, GPS, UMTS HSDPA. iam excited to have one!

Regards

P.S.: for now i am using the HTC Prophet
[P3600 ROM Development] .ForumUser:
No need to panic, GPS is all working and fine, I've used many ROM's 6 and 6.1, GPS works fine in them all.
[P3600 ROM Development] SuperSport:
Unless you really think you need a hardware keyboard, I would HIGHLY recommend this phone. It's small enough to fit in the pocket, but PACKED with features. I use TomTom software for the GPS and it works GREAT! I also have a TomTom Rider for my motorcycle, and they both work almost identically.

For a FREE alternative to TomTom software, you can always download the FREE Microsoft Live Search software. It has GPS traffic directions in it. Not quite as easy to use as TomTom, but Free... It also includes free traffic conditions and Satellite Maps. You can see your house on your phone. ;)

PS: Welcome to the club. :D

Trinity was the best 1 year ago.

Today the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) is a better solution.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetret:
I bought a screen/digitizer from eBay and replaced the screen. Everything works great.

However, looks like the Proximity Sensor isn't!

I am suspecting the screen itself, as in any angle, those holes for proximity sensor (as I see in my older screen and other photos) is missing! (Photo attached)

While closing the phone, I used SUPER GLUE on the small area above and below the digitizer. So, I am convinced that removing the screen again is going to crack the screen, as it is glued tight.

What is the fix now? I have Magisk Manager installed via the Resurrection Remix Custom ROM, but it doesn't seem to have any sensor related modules.

I did install XPOSED and via the "Sensor Disable" module, I set the value of the Proximity Sensor to 5 (instead of 0) and saved it, but still the Proximity Sensor distance shows as 0 and screen is always off during a call!

PLEASE help me fix this. I am okay with the screen being ON all the time during the call. Regards.

I've had my Note 8 for a few months, upgrading from a Note 3. And the truth is I do not think this is a big step forward. I want to go on a rant about the phone right now but I'll bite my tongue.

When I want to add a photo to a contact from a saved photo, is there a way to do it with an app other than Gallery? Note 3 would ask you what app you want to use but the contacts app on the Note 8 doesn't seem to offer any options. Is there a way to use another photo app?

This stock Gallery app is a total POS. It always buries photos exported from Dropbox into the middle of the list no matter what method of sorting I use. In an app like QuikPic my recently added files are always right at the top. The Gallery app is complete garbage.
