[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] hamisgood:
Tasker, Titanium Backup, Greenify, AdAway, Substratum, Root Explorer. Currently not using Xposed but I do use it on some ROMs.

Tasker:

1) Double tap home screen to lock screen. Status bar is too far away to reach one handed.

2) Disable Heads-up when screen is on and enable it when screen is off. This is to trigger Ambient Display notifications while screen is off but leaving Heads-up turned off when screen is on as I find it too intrusive. I prefer the good old notification ticker on some custom ROMs

Titanium Backup: Backup and restore apps and settings easily on a new ROM. I.e. Good Vibrations for seamless transition between ROMs without having to reset the vibration settings every time.

Greenify: Root mode works so much better. More functions are unlocked with Xposed, but battery life is so good on the OP5T that I really have had no reason to do so.

AdAway: Remove Ads

Substratum: For a black theme to take advantage of the Amoled display and save battery.

Root Explorer: My favourite file explorer so far!
[General Questions and Answers] PHYSC-1:
Looking for a way to setup a rooted android device as a dedicated cloud server to allow on the fly storage for phones and computers, is there any way to use a android tv box or android device of any kind as a cloud server to access it over any network away from home with my phone or laptops etc for example? The idea being use a usb external hdd on my ouya that's rooted and access it online somewhere or anywhere using any mobile device or computer trying all manner of ftp apps, but they allways seem to expect you to use a pc to access the ftp address any I try to join via a browser just fail to open to view files, I would have thought it's easily possible and the whole plan is to have a cheap electricity cost android device as the cloud server. Maybe provide others access to set folders to save stuff and access stuff to. I asked tonido cloud if their app supports android as the server not just access as a client it but it doesn't else would have set it up. Meanwhile I'll keep trying apps and looking back here to see if anyone can come up with something thanks in advance.

Ok, so right now I have a really tight layout. the iPhone one made in WAD and WA2.

Ok, the theme is super tight, it looks exactly like it and everything, got it customised to everything that I can do like the iPhone....

BUT.. I am noticing that it is extremely SLOW!!!! it takes forever to do anything.

-answering the phone... OMG! taking it out of the case I have for it (which has a magnetic thing) so that when I slide it out, it flips the screen.. and so it takes forever to flip it... and then flip back.. and whatever, by that time, I can't answer the call, and I have a missed call....

Even just pressing answer sometimes doesn't even work that well.. takes like 5 seconds..

SOOO.. what I am trying to say is that, I really want a new theme that is extremely fast, but extremely tight.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what to do (I like it to be flashy..)

btw, I have pocketCM for my contacts list.. That is the tightest thing on there besides the Slide 2 Unlock 2, but it also takes forever to load. I would use something else if it wasn't so amazing letting you scroll through the contacts and then click on one, and text him from there... its so easy to use.. So if anybody knows of a pocketCM that is faster.. let me know :)

Thanks in advance. desperate :O

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruz-IV:
Hello all,

So my SM-G530T is stuck in a boot loop. I managed to flash stock firmware on it through Odin successfully but all it manages to do is reach "optimizing app X of Y" before it boot-loops, and earlier I was actually able to reach the setup screen but it only takes about 5-8 seconds before it freezes and boot loops. Feel free to ask me any additional questions.

(BTW: Recovery/ Download/ Odin Mode are fully functional)

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Cruz-IV:D
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarongotgame:
did you clear the dalvik, cache, data, system?

did you flash a fresh copy of the stock md5. some can be corrupted or an updated version of stock which can sometimes mess up somewhere. I had a setup wizard bootloop issue and just gave it one final try and when it got to setup wizard, my wifi was working again.

make sure you activate usb debug and all that good stuff before flashin anything through odin.

make sure you are using a compatible version of odin and make sure that you are running odin as administrator.

all i can think is to make sure you clear all the caches and make sure your md5 file isnt corrupted then reflash and letting it run completely up to the setup wizard. then before you root, let it update to the latest firmware via ota THEN root so that you have all the latest stuff.

if you are using stock recovery to clear data, you can also flash through odin twrp 2.8.7.0 and do an advanced wipe

I have x720. I installed 026s with twrp than it removed my twrp. After install I can’t open stock rom because leeco login problem. I can’t use phone. What can I do?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
I didn't know that x720s also suffered from this issue. But since the x720 has a QFIL file, hopefully you'll be able to resurrect your phone in case something goes horribly wrong.

I don't know what the LeEco login issue is. Have you tried Googling your issue? And have you tried actually resetting the password? I know a lot of LeEco servers are down, but it's worth a shot.

I found this thread on unbinding a device from a LeEco account using TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/how-to/tutorial-how-to-skip-unbid-leeco-account-t3657898

First, try to downgrade to 20s using this update.zip. Place update.zip at the root of the internal storage on your phone (where all the folders are): https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-to/5-9-020s-update-x720-t3506829

If that works and you can get into 20s without the LeEco login issue, you're golden, and you can flash TWRP again.

Hopefully you can still access stock recovery on 26s by holding down the volume up and power button. Or it might be a different combo. IDK.

Restore?

Must i make a zip file from the backup that i have made with trwp een i want to go back to eui
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
You can start by removing all the quotes from your post!! Why the hell are you quoting my giant post 3 times in a row? Learn how this forum works before posting...

1. You must make a backup of your eUI ROM in TWRP using TWRP's backup function. How do you expect to restore a backup made with another recovery in TWRP?

2. No. All you need to do is make a backup of your eUI ROM in TWRP, then connect your phone to your PC and drag and drop the TWRP folder on your phone to your PC. That's your backup.

When you want to restore your backup, delete the TWRP folder on your phone, and copy and paste the folder you copied to your PC (i.e. the TWRP folder) back to the phone.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] vIgGeN7:
Hello,

If I wanted to get this phone for Verizon were would I get is and will it work with current bands?

Also were would someone purchase one here in the US? Can it be shipped over seas?

Thanks,
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
It does not support CDMA, so no Verizon or Sprint.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] vIgGeN7:
Were can we buy this phone. Switching to at&t.

Also I notice there is no Otter box for this phone? What would you all recommend for a case?
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
Depends where you are. Honor sells it on their hihonor site and I'm sure Amazon will have it.

In my experience, Huawei/Honor cases are few and far between. I've ordered three off Amazon for preparation but none are heavy duty like an Ottercase. They're slim TPU cases.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mke1973:
You need the North American version; the international and Chinese versions don't have 4G LTE FDD bands supported by AT&T and T Mobile; if you bought one of those you'd end up with a crippled,low-speed phone unabe to connect to LTE. Huawei has not released an ETA on the North American version of the View 10. My guess is that it might not arrive before Q2. It's going to be released in Mexico in the spring, I believe. Mexico uses some of the same FDD bands as AT&T, as do Rodgers and Bell in Canada.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] vIgGeN7:
WONDERFUL! Thanks for your insight.

I imagine there is no model # yet then for NA version?

Thanks,
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
It should arrive before the 2nd quarter of the year. I'm guessing no later than mid February. The US store for the Honor View 10 opened about two days ago with the View 10 listed as Out Of Stock, so they're preparing.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mke1973:
Not that I've been able to find. Huawei hasn't released pricing for this region, either. If units don't start shipping to the US by May, look to see if you find it available in Mexico. If so, that may be a sign that they won't ship the Honor View 10 directly to the US, in hopes of unloading the more expensive Huawei Mate 10 Pro inventory that they have in stock now the deal with AT&T deal fell through.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mke1973:
Glad to see that they restored the View 10 pages for North America. They had them up,then took them down before the 8 Januäry 2018 launch, which was supposed to have included us. Questions asked about what was happening went unanswered by Huawei. Now if they'll just give us a shipping date and price for View BKL-L04.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Hi everyone :good:

I'm a proud new owner of an XZP, which I got as a "refurbished" (think it's from a shop).

I digged through a few settings and found that I indeed have a firmware of a swiss carrier on my device,

hence it didn't get the latest updated yet (still on October Security patch).

Now I read through a lot of threads but I didn't find a definitive answer sadly.

I want to flash the Customised German FW (already downloaded) but I don't really know which files of the extracted FW I need (if possible I would like to flash the FW without losing any data on the device).

Any help is appreciated :)

EDIT: After looking into the files my guess would be to only flash the partition folder, the boot folder and the .sin files minus the userdata .sin file?

EDIT 2: I attached a picture of the files I flashed in post #7

The only problem I came across is the "device decryption failed (corrupt data)" so I guess there's no way to keep data with newflasher?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tserv95:
I understand the need to not lose your files. But to be on the safe side I recommend maybe backing up your files and flashing all files. This ensures the firmware is entirely flashed. Better safe than sorry bud. I use the Europe version and I'm in the USA hence I wanted the fingerprint reader to work lol. Best of luck to you :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Thanks for the recommendation, but I'm really not in the mood to set it all up again, that's why I'm specifically asking.

And I don't think that the versions differ in any way other than the security patches and a few bug fixes so the userdata shouldn't corrupt anything while flashing the new firmware (my main goal here is to get faster OTA - carrier fw are lacking that).

I'm just not sure which files are actually mandatory for the new firmware and which aren't.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tserv95:
Whatever you do please leave your bootloader locked. I regret unlocking mine. Broken camera and I have to flash a DRM patch or Turbo's rom.

After owning a z3 I know the struggle with the UB all too well and I'm not eager to do it, thank you though for your heads up :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] non.verbal:
i know your problem, forum is missing a good clear guide. I been flashing from customized tmobile PL to CE1. after downloading rom with xperifirm delete every file ending by .ta file format to keep drm keys. its recommended to format user data to avoid problems. note I lost wifi calling and volte but at least I'm free of bloatware crap
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Funny thing is I don't even have any trace of the carrier software on my phone besides not getting the latest updates.

I have backed up most of my stuff with Xperia Companion and I will remove the sdcard before flashing just to be sure.

Will probably try to flash without formatting userdata (jump from October to December update should work).

Is there any risk in damaging the device to the point of no return (I have quite good knowledge of the whole flashing process etc from my experience with z3 and it was impossible to hardbrick the z3)?

Sorry for asking a (probably) stupid question but I just got this and I don't want to see it dead :silly:

EDIT: I'm impatient so I just started the flashing process with the files like in the attached picture (deleted all .ta's from main-folder, userdata etc.)

EDIT 2: Okay, was unnecessary to do all this, it displays a message "decryption unsuccessful" and I need to factory reset my device :p

EDIT 3: I obviously made the right choice changing now because I just got an update notification for 47.1.A.12.34 (which is the January update)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] welshlad:
You can use Flashtool and just leave the "wipe" boxes unticked...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Will probably result in the same "decryption unsuccessful" error though and I read somewhere that there's a few problems

with Flashtool and newflasher is working perfectly fine.

And one thing that bothers me the most about flashtool is the fact that it's hosted at uploaded.to and you can't update it from the tool itself (inconvenient as hell).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] welshlad:
I used Flashtool to debrand yesterday, worked fine. I did use newflasher to put the 3 firmware on my phone a couple of months ago and that worked fine too.

I agree about the lack of update within the tool, although the torrent download is never more than 5 minutes
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iKlutz:
Hey man. Do you think you could give a little advice please? I unlocked and rooted using the drm patch a while ago as I'm still using Nougat.

Is there any info on flashing oreo over nougat with the drm patch? I saw the updated guide but last I checked it doesn't address updating to oreo from an already unlocked and patched device. I literally used sToRmz original method before he changed the thread. I've tried a bit of digging but there's so much abstract information I backed away.

Honestly I'm just getting bored of nougat lol.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
I'm not trying to be annoying here but this doesn't have anything to do with what I started this thread for. Please open one for yourself or ask in the original thread of the patch (it's not just confusing, you won't get attention in here for stormz patch).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] venky986:
did you flash with Europe firmware and Did it work? If so , please guide me through the process. i tried flashing CE1, Customised IN versions but not successful. It was "NO partition delivery" and also "No flash script" error. i have used flashtool 24.2 version.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
I flashed the German customised one but doesn't matter. Just flash the files I flashed (delete every .ta file except the one in the boot folder) with newflasher and you should be good to go, don't forget to copy the boot folder and extract the partition.zip into a partition folder you have to create (but be aware your /data is probably gonna be reset because of a decryption error, so back everything up).

I will try to write a more detailed guide when I'm on my PC (mobile is too much of a hassle).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] venky986:
To where i should copy the boot folder? and i have extracted the partition folder .
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Copy all the .sin files + the boot folder + the extracted partition files inside a partition folder into the main folder of newflasher.

Better to search for the Newflasher thread and read it thoroughly, just to be sure.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] karrouma:
delete all .ta files and boot and partition folder.

leave system-bluetooth and modem and delete all others .sin files
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
That would probably cause a boot loop? Why would flashing only modem and Bluetooth from a newer fw result in an updated system?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] karrouma:
Bluetooth

Modem

And system x .sin

I flashed these 3 files to not loosing any data
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
Okay, weird. I read through the original Newflasher thread and there were a few posts about the "decryption failed" error and losing data.

Did you come across any other bugs/problems afterwards? Like not receiving OTA etc.?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
Use Flashtool. Don't bother with Newflasher. Flashtool version 0.9.24.1 supports XZ Premium, XZ1 and XZ1 Compact and version 0.9.24.2 fixed a bug preventing from creating FTF bundles. It is much easier to use Flashtool, no thinking what files to flash and no worry of losing data or bricking your device. I tried it yesterday and it works 100%. Only Thing I don't know is will you lose DRM.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Omario-242:
I couldn't use Flashtool at the time of creating this thread because I tried to download it, then it stopped and I'd have to wait for another hour.

I know and love Flashtool because I own a (now defective) Z3.

If somebody could mirror it or send it personally I'd be really grateful (I hate uploaded.to and torrents)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] rommo_911:
Solved ! Again

HEllO !

I just flashed my xz1c with new flasher. was reading all over here to know what to leave for flashing without loosing data

so i improvised, and did some researches .

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED NEW VERSION - (because in my version, the OTA is the last phone on earth getting update) - WITHOUT LOOSING DATA NOR ANYTHING ELSE (also i recovered VoLTE ! - didn't have it before)

steps :

1-download the rom via xpirifirm (on flashtool)

2- do not flash using the flashtool, i found a way to workaround the FSC script to match the FTF file list and eliminate the skipping files problems, but i wont test it on my daily use phone ! , maybe if someone have a spare phone can test it

3- put the newflasher in the downloaded rom folder

4- remove ALL .ta files (not the one in the boot folder) and remove other **** as shown in the picture below

voilà ! no boot loop / no decryption problem / no reset (my SD card wasn't encrypted)

also : i think eventually, we will have to reset the phone to factory at some point (due to some changes in the data preserved and the system and its version) , but just not now.
