I'm having an issue when flashing the TWRP recovery on OnePlus 7 Pro running Android 10 on Paranoid Android.

Every time I run the "fastboot flash recovery..." command I get this error:

https://ibb.co/VCj9gQx

Which is weird cause I never had any issues flashing this TWRP file on the 7 Pro before. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Did you miss the "boot" word in your command?

I thought the command should be like this: "fastboot flash boot xxx.img"
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
The partition you flash an image on depends on the phone... PH-1 doesn't have a recovery partition, but the question was about OnePlus - I have no idea about it. Wrong forum to ask, anyway...

Unable to parse partition

My active slot is on b and I run this cmd:

./fastboot flash boot_a twrp-mata.img

but I get this error:

fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.

It also happens when I try to flash on boot_b. Tried difference usb ports and phone is being recognized. I am using a mac for this. Any ideas?

Same problem here, tried with double underscore, Sending worked, but not Writing:

... fastboot flash boot__a twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img

Sending 'boot__a' (48712 KB) OKAY [ 1.173s]

Writing 'boot__a' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')

fastboot: error: Command failed

Don't know what am i doing wrong...

EDIT : ok, used the ADB in the essential drivers, it worked... now i have to make touch working...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] essential_pichu:
Can you provide the link to the ADB you're using and the essential drivers too? I thought I was using those but I guess it's the wrong one.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Adien:
Indeed, the problem was the ADB i used... I tried with essential's ADB, and... it's perfect ! :)

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] essential_pichu:
I do not know where and what ADB version or essential drivers you're using. Please provide links to where you downloaded them. If you do not remember or cannot find it, can you do "adb version" and tell us that information... This would be really helpful.

using the official Essential drivers from Essential that come with adb/fastboot ( Essential-PH1-WindowsDrivers.exe ) and using their ADB/FASTBOOT that comes included seems to have solve the problem as well.

Install Official essential drivers (https://essential-images.netlify.app/ or https://sourceforge.net/projects/essential-factory-images/files/ -- its a backup site since official website is no longer up) and use their fastboot then follow the instructions at https://twrp.me/essential/essentialph1.html

Trying to recover my op6, msm failing at firehose handshake, fastboot flashing recovery failing, and trying the getvar current-slot gives this

Was on AICP android 10 and needing to get stock to send it in.. right now fastboot is there and thats it, drivers are updated and in EDL it shows correctly also.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Aragino:
Hi guys, soon I'm going to buy a branded Moto G5, it's a deal.

How do I remove that mobile provider brand? (Tim Italy)

Thanks in advance
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] claviger:
I have this same phone (XT1675, Tim). Right now I am using it with Tre in Italy.

What do you mean by remove the brand? There is a TIM based boot animation, and one or two apps that can be disabled. There is very little bloatware, and the phone runs very well and gets great battery with stock, and Oreo should be coming soon.

Se vuoi, mandami un messaggio privato in italiano.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Cittino90:
I have the same phone, in italy; and i want to unbrand it...i've tried to unlock the bootloader but the motorola's site said me that i'll lost my warranty, but in the FAQ of this site i found this:

Does rooting/unlocking your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)

In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.

Can i flash a custom rom and be safe? the phone has one day...
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] claviger:
What is your goal? What do you need to do? I am not sure about the warranty in the EU. Certainly you can use a custom rom. The Lineage 14.1 unofficial is very good and stable. But the stock ROM is very good, lightweight and fast.

Che cosa vuoi fare?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Cittino90:
i want to remove the brand, the tim's app and i want better control of my phone (and also have some fun). I want a fast and light device and long battery life! No games, no incredible feauters, just whatsapp and fast browsing! I only don't want to lost my warranty

Voglio togliere le scritte e le app tim; vorrei installare un sistema operativo che sia veloce e leggero e che mi permetta di far durare di più la batteria; non ho bisogno di chissachè, solo navigare in internet veloce e whatsapp! Mi dispiacerebbe però perdere la garanzia..
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] claviger:
Okay, but I think that unlocking the bootloader will probably void the warranty, and you need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM. For the TIM app, you can disable it: Settings-->Apps-->TIM --- disable. (Impostazioni-->Applicazioni--> disattiva.) The custom rom below is very good. But you do have to use the Motorola website to unlock the bootloader. But LineageOS might only get a little better battery life than the stock rom. The phone has good battery life for the price. I used a custom rom for months but went back to stock. If you do decide to unlock the bootloader, I recommend this ROM for now:

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Cittino90:
thank you very much for you answers!!

I just can't understand why they write things like that in the FAQ section of moto G5.. May i write to somebody of the Xda-Moderator who wrote that? I think that i'm going to maintain the original rom, i'm poor and i don't want to loose the warranty!
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] claviger:
Figurati! You're welcome. As for the FAQ, it is different to root and to unlock the bootloader. It could be that EU law does not cover unlocking, but only rooting. But on this phone one requires the other. You can try to disable other apps you don't use,and be sure to turn off Bluetooth if you aren't using it.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
The answer to this question is simple - it depends on your countries laws

The manufacturer will always claim that if you unlock the bootloader it will void the warranty but this isn't always true

UK law states that if your phone becomes faulty & your modifications are totally unrelated than the warranty is valid

E.g if you unlock & root your phone and the touchscreen stops working because of a faulty component your warranty is valid

However if you flash something or do something you can only do with an unlocked bootloader/root and it breaks the phone then it's your own fault

Either way the manufacturer will always try and claim your warranty is void either way unless you quote the law from your country however in the UK your contract is with the retailer you brought the product from and so it's their responsibility to sort it out if the product is faulty

Flashing custom roms is safe - the worst thing that can happen is your phone doesn't boot in which case either you need to flash it correctly as you did it wrong, flash a different rom, restore your twrp backup or flash a stock rom firmware via fastboot
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Cittino90:
Thanks man! :fingers-crossed:

I'll try to find out my warranty policy
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] matmutant:
I wrote things for which I had quite good information about :

you may take the time to read the Free Software Foundation Europe speech about this [here]

Or, if you prefer to read the official EU Directive ("Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees ")

Of course, as it is a Directive and not a Regulation, I needs to be transposed under your local Country law. Nevertheless, you should be protected as long as you bought you device from an European seller.

Last, but not least you are -and will always be-, the only responsible to what you do to your own device.

Hey everyone

I performed a factory reset on my Galaxy S7 and I wanted to install the newest Touchwiz launcher (Experience or something). After I installed it, it started force stopping and I can't find a way to downgrade it to some other previous version by installing it over this one. My phone is not rooted and I'm to lazy to do another factory reset... Sooo is there any other way I can fix this problem?

Thanks in advance! :svetius::svetius:

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
I remember back on Marshmallow I think with older phones, substratrum with root would automatically patch up the statusbar icons to match whatever theme you are installing. I've noticed now that on Pixel / Galaxy S8 / Pixel2 with root, we can't seem to modify the statusbar icons. There are some substratum add-ons on the store that claim to fix this but it seems they are Samsung - specific addons.

Is the only way to do this with a rooted Pixel 2 is through some Xposed module?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bigwhat:
theme development isn't quite there yet on our phones. definitely give it more time until custom roms and stuff make there way out. also xposed just went live so give devs time to update things to 8.1. however [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION] has made some good mod progress with 8.1. he managed to get a working Aroma installer which can do things like mod status bar icon colors. try that out for now.

but if you want to go beyond that then yes xposed is going to be your best option. have fun.

Hi Guys,

Which is the best and stable camera app to be used for portrait mode in the S7? And can it be used with the front camera? I tried many but they all crash every now and then.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maxbeat93:
You can use selective focus mode on stock camera app. It produces portrait-like photos (back camera only) but the downside to me is the size. The image will be about 20MB in size but if you edit it again using any photo editor app it will decrease. IMO the stock selective focus mode is better and faster than lens blur on Google Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] billubakra:
Yes it is good but like 90% of the times it will say that subject not detected. And the size for me is normal like 4-5mb per photo. Any other modded/ported camera app for the S7 for this purpose? And can it be used with the front camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
You can check the [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] version of the Gcam app. I think it's the best (far away) portrait mode for us.

Better than our cam but still don't work the face cam.

If you wanna try, here's the link:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] billubakra:
Thanks. This is what I have selected-

Model: Nexus 6 Shamu Moto

Portrait mode on all models: on

camera.af.debug.show: where is this setting?

camera.faceboxes: where is this setting?

The app crashes if I select the first icon in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
Set somethings:

- Don't change the HDR parameters. Set it to default.

- Unmark the "Use Nexus6 HDRPlus Auto"

- Mark "Compress RAW (*.DNG)

- Mark "Portrait Mode in all models"

- Unmark "Smartburst Enable"

The "camera.af.debug.show" and the "camera.faceboxes" are in Settings>Developer Settings. But these are optional.

Hope I helped :)

*EDIT - check and follow the thread (here in XDA) about HDR+ for S7. The better place for try new cam apps and discuss about that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] billubakra:
Thanks. Still not able to take quality photos. Can you please share the link of that thread?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
Using the app that I told you, the quality of portrait pics is amazing!

Unfortunately the HDR+ is not good at all, but some versions you can get more of this feature.

My phone feels warmer while using that version of Google Camera. Anyone facing same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
This is a problem with the image processing (the heating and the battery drain). Some people says the cause is the app use all cores for processing the image (HDR+ and portrait)

Anyway, there's a new version with front camera working with portrait.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maxbeat93:
Thanks!! The settings is a bit different but I only changed the model to Nexus 6 and everything is ok. It's still crashed when I switch back to rear camera from front cam while in portrait mode. But portrait mode is still only available on the rear camera, right? Because it's not working on front cam.

Oh right, actually the heating was only a couple times after installing. Now it doesn't heat anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
Oh, no. This version that I sent works the rear and front camera in portrait mode. Using without the portrait the front camera is terrible.

And even at portrait, the front camera has a bug with high exposure changing the color to something like pink exposure.

I attached my settings. Remember to close and reopen the app totally for apply.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maxbeat93:
Changing the model to pixel 2 xl did enable portrait on the selfie but yeah it got some pink on high exposure. But the result was still great. Without portrait the front cam is blurry and the edge was too much sharpened. It's terrible.

Also, is HDR+ enabled by default? There's no HDR+ setting on the top row but there's some sort of delay (like when applying HDR) when I take pictures so I thought it's still there. The photos taken with rear camera is also better now I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ReDemonBR:
Yeah, this version is near to perfect.

I never, anymore, take pics o' people without rear portrait camera -hahaha

The delay is borring but minimal. You can take a lot of pics and check them later. You don't need to wait between the shots.

If you wanna HDR+ setting, go to: settings>advance>check the option: manual HDR+ control (my app isn't in english, but is something like that)

*You can't increase the HDR+ parameters

**Just a obs- my app crashed sometimes at older version (I didn't try the newer properly) and my app didn't take pics. If it happen, just "force stop" and it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maxbeat93:
Btw i was checking on the source thread and found that there's a newer version uploaded early today. This version fixed the pink stain and the HDR menu is back on the top row. I think this is much stable since there's no heating or crashing at all.

This is the link for the app:
