[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
Have you tried flashing the Magisk.zip instead? I had some troubles myself recently but flashing the Magisk zip worked like a charm. You don't need to flash TWRP recovery, you can just one-time boot to TWRP and flash the Magisk zip that way.

EDIT:

To do so, I'm taking snippets from THIS post, but basically:

Download TWRP.img, place in platform-tools folder.

Download Latest Magisk v14.x Zip file, place on device "SDCard"

Reboot phone to bootloader/fastboot

Command: fastboot boot <twrp filename.img>

Once TWRP loads, flash the Magisk Zip file you downloaded and reboot your phone, you should be all set.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] potatoesryum:
Tried flashing Magisk 14.4 and the most recent 15.3 with twrp but still stuck at same boot up screen. If it matters I'm running 8.0 with November update (opd1.170816.025). I'll probably do a clean install of 8.1 later and try again, just waiting for a few apps get updates for 8.1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
Just to be clear, you are telling Magisk to patch the November BOOT.IMG, correct?

You could also try dirty flashing the January full ROM (remove the -w from the flashall script), then flashing Magisk via TWRP...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] bman18:
Coming from an dual sim LG V10, I'm quite surprised and annoyed that there doesn't seem to be a stock option to assign a separate ringtone to each sim. This is probably Google's fault, but it's still amazingly shortsighted IMHO. When I work I sometimes want to ignore privat calls and vice versa, without having to get a look at my phone.

Anyone knows a work around without going to a new ROM directly?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JockeSve:
AFAIK it's not (currently) possible.

I'm facing same annoyance as well coming from various AOSP, Lineage and madOS ROM's where that was possible...

Hi, do you know any other S-Pens that will work on Note 10.1 2014? I don't mind small size and inability to store stylus in the device. What about styluses from Smartphones like Note3/4/5? Besides, is there any chance that Wacom Cs-310 will work like charm with Note 10.1 2014? The device is listed as compatible so I expect that it won't be possible.

Thanks you :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you're stuggling to find the ADB drivers for your phone, I'm not sure that you should be trying to root your phone, no offence.

Rooting it will break the camera completely. There is a DRM fix, which does leave all the functions of the camera working. But I wouldn't go down that route personally. The 'fix' was actually stolen from another developer and released without permission. The Dev who's running the drm fix thread didn't build the fix and has no idea how it works. Read for yourself, support is very patchy, it's a difficult thing to get right. You need to apply the right patches in the right sequence on top of a 8.49 CE firmware build, or it wont work.

It's a fix not a workaround, you destroy your TA keys buy unlocking your phone and you will never get them back.

Also you're dependent on the Dev (sToRm//) compiling a new fix to go with any new firmware released.

You could never update again without his help, and right now, he's got the hump.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Braindeadz:
Thanks you for you help, i think you are right but it's very difficult to tell me i don't "root" my phone because every smartphone i have in my life was root. I buy a Sony phone for the first time and maybe the last because it's what i like with Android, Root, change ROM, again and again. Maybe Modpunk release a stable LineageOS ? :rolleyes:

I buy this phone because it is small, very small, snap 835, sd card, speakers on the front and fingerprint on the right but i hope Oneplus make a little phone like this a day :rolleyes:

I feel like I'm in prison
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I know, every phone I've ever owned I rooted, it's almost a habit, but with this bootloader Sony is giving us the finger. The main reasons I wanted to root were usually to get a better battery and to mod the framework to make it look better, but the battery with this phone is already good, it doesn't need any help.

If you want to mod the looks then it's possible to do that too.

I don't want to be negative and put you off trying to do amazing things with your phone, but I thought you should know the details before you start.

Edit: yes, I think LineageOS is very close now, perhaps when that is working I might move to that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Braindeadz:
Thanks for your tips, I'm waiting for LineageOs now, it seems like a better idea.

Thanks you Didgesteve :o
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] crummmcakes:
I ran into a similar issue when trying to use Emma. It only runs on Windows, so I had to go through this as well.

First, download and install Android Studio for your OS:

developer . android .com/studio/ index. html

(Note: Android Studio is not required, just the SDK. But Android Studio will install the SDK for you in a standard location. This might make things easier for you.)

Once this is done, launch it to install the SDK. You can select all defaults.

Once the SDK is installed, click Configure in the bottom-right of Android Studio and select SDK Manager. On the first screen, select the SDK Tools tab in the middle. Here you will want to select Google USB Driver and click Apply. This should install the driver.

Then, go back to the device in the device manager and right-click the device and select Update Driver.

After that, I followed the steps here:

stackoverflow . com /questions/14559734/ install-adb-interface-driver-for-android

to get the driver installed. This was because I kept getting an error that the system could not find the Android ADB Interface.

For the record, the Google USB Driver was installed on a Windows 10 box in the following location:

%localappdata%\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

Hope this helps you out..
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] hage_JK:
Unfortunately, these drivers do not contain the correct drivers. I do not have any idea, I've been desperate.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] crummmcakes:
What do you mean by "these drivers do not contain the correct drivers"? Did they fail to install for you?

I just spun up a new Windows 7 VM to test this out again, and it worked for me.

What steps are you taking exactly?

Did you receive any errors when you tried to install the driver this way?

How is your device appearing in the device manager?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] hage_JK:
The device in fastboot will appear in the device manager as Android as the first stick.

Drivers dowload from Sony developed or Android SDK reports not found driver.

Drivers from Sony or Google they work in USB debugging but not driver in fastboot, still reports Android without drivers.

Testing on Windows 10 x64 and Windows 7 x32

Thank you in advance for any ideas
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Hi, is there a solution to this? I am also looking for the fastboot driver. I have no issue with ADB driver... its just fastboot. My Z5 with fastboot is ok.... but Z1C not. Im running windows 10
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Sometimes the drivers don't install properly in Windows 10, although it doesn't tell you they failed to install (helpful). You need to start Windows in safe mode and look for 'Disable driver signing'

Also, if you've used your computer for another device, then it's likely those drivers are still in it kicking about and probably getting in the way. You might have better luck going to another computer that has never been used for ADB and starting fresh.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] van_vugt:
Hi everyone,

Dunno if this is the right thread to post my question but the subject is Fastboot so I am trying my luck. Want to unlock the bootloader of my phone via Sony website... step 1 and 2 are no problem and I have my unlock code. Unfortunately I can't get my phone into FASTBOOT mode. Connected cable to laptop, hold volume button up and connected phone to cable but nothing happens. Is there anyone that can help me out?

thnx!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
It's been mentioned before on a different thread.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] van_vugt:
Thnx... overlooked that thread. Will try that!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] crummmcakes:
Did you use the standalone SDK, or did you use Android Studio?

If you used Android Studio, what do you see in: %localappdata%\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\

If you did not use Android Studio, would you be willing to try it? I only suggest it since it installs everything to specific locations, so perhaps removing an additional variable could be useful.

Otherwise, Didgesteve's suggestion seems like a good next step.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] k_basara:
I have the exact same problem. Sony driver and Google driver both don't work. Driver sign in Windows 10 is disabled. How can I don now?

Edit: After followed the steps showed in this video the drivers are successfully installed but when unlocking the bootloader it says "command not allowed". Do I have to unlock it if I want to root my phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Yes, unlocking your phone is the first part of rooting your phone. Unlocking is a one way process, you can't ever undo it and it will break your camera, completely. Be aware of that before you continue, the threads are full of people crying about broken phones that can't be re-locked.

It might be your phone is not allowed to be unlocked. Some phone providers in the UK sell phones that cannot be unlocked, mostly because they don't want the headache of people claiming unlocked phones be repaired.

Type *#*#7378423#*#* into your phone dialer to access the service menu.

Then look under Service info/configuration.

Under Rooting Status it should say Bootlock unlock allowed - yes.

If it says no then forget it.

Edit: you also need to allow OEM unlocking in the developer options
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] k_basara:
Yes, I forgot to allow OEM unlock in my phone settings.

I gave up unlocking my phone anyway, compare to years ago, stock rom nowadays isn't that unacceptable after all.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Hi - after months I finally solved the fast boot issue by using the above mentioned video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=105&v=nQjg6ePnGAc

Basically - the key is that there are 2 steps:

1. Connect phone in usb debugging mode - then install sony adb driver using device manager and "have disk"

2. Boot into fastboot - and again install sony adb driver using device manager and "have disk"

Result = fastboot now working!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] michalsmerf:
today I root my XZ1C

I have lots of problems with fastboot and i have other solution

for ADB i use driver from Sony ( installed by device manager )

but for fastboot

I use "Android ADB Interface" installed with Android Studio (you can choose it device manager --> update driver --> manual install --> installed on pc --> google or on my PC it was Samsung and there was google --> Android ADB Interface )

thats was only think that work for my device

I lost today 3/4h for this one think

maybe it will help someone to safe this time

Enjoy ! :D

[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Tek5:
Hi everybody,

a week ago I received my OPO5 and I‘m totally blown away how great it is. The only issue I got is, that it feels pretty slippery and so I‘m pretty sure that it will meet the ground sooner or later.

So I‘m looking for a case, but can‘t really decide what to use. I never had a bumper before on my phone, but every bumper owner seems to be pretty happy with it (e.g. RhinoShield bumper). Before I always used flip cases, because it felt more "safe" for the phone overall and I‘m not sure if a bumper can provide me with this feeling too.

So I wanted to ask for your help, if you can tell me how a bumper protection-wise is better/worse than a flip cover. Would it be a good idea to add a screen protection when using a bumper?

And also: can you suggest a slim flip case just in case I stick with it? (something similar to the official 5t case would be great: https://oneplus.net/de/oneplus-5t-flip-cover)

Thanks for you help!

Best regards

Tek
[General Topics] rHycH:
Hi Guys, need some feedback regarding these two phones. I'm planning to buy one but can't decide which. Do you have any pros and cons regarding these phones? What are the common problems you encounter? Your feedback is greatly appreciated:D
[General Topics] blimpmedia:
I currently use an Atom Exec and am trying to decide between a Touch Cruise and TyTN II myself.

The Exec is a Windows Mobile 5 phone as where the newer HTC phones like the Touch, TyTN II, and Touch Cruise have Windows Mobile 6 Pro.

My Atom Exec has served me well but not without problems. The minor issues I currently experience are:

1: If I try to run the phone with the built in hands free, it crackles on the receivers end. So I don’t use this…!

2: The screen ghosts every now and then, mostly I’ve noticed when its connecting to GPRS to download my emails.

3: Writing emails or SMS messages is a pain because you have to use the miniature keyboard. You can download a FREE copy of TouchPal but found it’s just easier typing with a qwerty keyboard rather a 2x letter per key option even if it is smaller.

I’m also trying to decide if I will enjoy having a Touch phone so at the moment I’m leaning to a TyTN II only because of the qwerty keyboard. I’ve been told to go to a store that has both phones and play with them there. A few people have said to me that I will love the Touch over the TyTN and shouldn’t have any problems getting use to the Touch On-Screen keyboard.

Anyway my 2 cents worth LOL….
[General Topics] sonus:
Definiately get the Touch, I have a Touch Cruise and its very one handed use friendly. The included onscreen keyboards (I use the Touch Keypad) are great and you can get away with never using the mini stylus keyboard, which is great b/c thumb texting is much much faster than stulus texting. The Touch Flow software and HTC cube can be ported over to the Exec, but they really work sooooo much better on a flush screen. Out of those two devices, definitely get the Touch.
[General Topics] aaronsmckee:
the touch (and especially the touch dual) are superior to the atom exec in just about every way, especially with a custom rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] LinuxPanda:
I see lots of users having issues with/after installing custom nougat ROM like blackscreen, bootloop, backlight not turning off in lock screen, volte issues etc.

In order to fix that, first you have to install MIUI 9 Global Beta/Developer 7.11.16 Fastboot ROM using Fastboot mode. After that you can install any custom nougat ROM and enjoy.

Step 1: Install MIUI 9 Fastboot ROM

Boot into Fastboot

Install MIUI 9 Fastboot ROM using Fastboot

Reboot

Install MIUI 9 ROM

MIUI 9 Global Beta/Developer 7.11.16 Fastboot ROM: http://en.miui.com/thread-1119728-1-1.html | Direct Download Link.

Fastboot Install using Windows: http://en.miui.com/thread-408889-1-1.html

Fastboot Install using Windows Command Prompt: http://c.mi.com/thread-334-1-0.html

Fastboot Install using Linux: http://en.miui.com/thread-285121-1-1.html (Warning: This guide wipes internal data too, so beware before running the commands blindly.)

It is recommended to wipe internal storage too but its your choice and in that case you have to use the command "

fastboot flash all

" instead of flashing one by one.

Step 2: Install TWRP Recovery

Boot into Fastboot

Install TWRP using Fastboot

Reboot

TWRP Download: https://dl.twrp.me/rolex/

Reference: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi4a.html

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

In the above code, replace

twrp.img

with the name of the file that you downloaded, like

twrp-3.2.1-0-rolex.img

.

fastboot reboot

Step 3: Install Custom Nougat ROM:

After you do these things, you don't need to flash any nougat firmware before installing custom nougat ROM and you can just directly install custom nougat ROM as you did custom marshmellow ROM.

Boot into TWRP Recovery

Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data & System

Install custom ROM (follow instructions in the appropriate thread)

Reboot

Enjoy! :D

Update:

If you're still facing issues after doing all these steps, then flash this multi ROM Nougat firmware (Credit to Muralitharan) via TWRP.

[Magisk] orifori:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, international version, Android 6, unlocked bootloader, rooted with CF-auto-root, now has SuperSU installed, pure stock rom.

And I am wondering whether it will be possible to install Magisk (even if I have to uninstall SuperSU) without TWRP or any other custom recovery?

Will it also be possible to have full disk encryption (to be honest I don’t know whether my device is currently encrypted - is there a way to check this)?

Yes it is possible... Check the magisk release thread for the method applicable for you... About encryption, it works just fine...

[Magisk] orifori:
Thank you! I need some help regarding the Installation Instructions.

The stock rom I have (which is to be patched by Magisk Manager) is a ZIP file with 5 .tar.md5 files in it...

1 - Where should I copy it - internal phone memory?

2 - Should I copy the ZIP file or the 5 files in it?

3 - Magisk Manager asks for .RAR or .IMG file while I have a .ZIP - should I simply rename the .ZIP to .RAR or...?

4 - Installing CSC_... would do a wipe while HOME_CSC_... would not - and I definitely do not want a wipe - so how to proceed?

5 - If I want full device encryption I just tick Preserve force encryption option (I don't know whether the phone is now encrypted)?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You need to patch and flash the boot image only. That'll be inside the ROM zip. Don't forget to change the output format in the Manager settings to .img.tar.

It usually says under Android settings -> Security if your device is encrypted or not. But I've no idea if Samsung do that. I don't do Samsung.

This has been discussed a few times in the Magisk forums already, so if you search you'll be able to find more info on it. Always do your homework before flashing...

[Magisk] orifori:
Everything works fine, except OTA updates - I try to download updates manually (About device -> Download updates manually) but I get a message "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way."

So are OTA updates possible 1. without TWRP and 2. with preserved encryption - like in my case - and how is that possible? Maybe Magisk settings?
