Looking through your past posts, did you flash the Oreo soak test 1? If so, then your bootloader is updated to the Oreo bootloader (and flashing older firmware would not have downgraded the bootloader).

Seems the blankflash cannot communicate with your device - is this with the original Motorola USB cable or a high quality USB data cable and a reliable USB port?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Felipe Oliveira:
Yes I used the soak test 1 oreo, and with original motorola cable with reliable and new USB ports
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hmm, then you'd likely still have the Oreo bootloader on your device, which as I mentioned before these blankflashes may not work with as they're possibly too old to rescue a corrupted Oreo bootloader.

You could try a few more times to see if the blankflash could communicate, if not then you'd have to wait for a newer blankflash to get leaked or visit a service centre, or pay or a new device.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Felipe Oliveira:
But the following is not next, to update the bootloader the new system has to pass an automatic blankflash through the downloaded update rom, right? in the case soak test1 updated the bootloader to oreo. What is happening in white to protect inside your files?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I don't understand what you've written, can you please explain what you've written?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Felipe Oliveira:
To update the bootloader to the 8.0 the soak would have to contain a blankflash within the same to do update is not? will not be possible extract the contents of the update to soak and get the blankflash?

Sorry for the confusion I still haven't found a decent translator
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Ahh, thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, the soak tests do not appear to contain a blankflash, they are just the files required to patch your device up to the version stated in the OTA.

The blankflashes are generally OEM internal development tools, and have to be cryptographically signed by Motorola in this case for them to flash a new bootloader over your corrupted bootloader. Also, the blankflash has to be as new or newer than your bootloader on your device for the blankflash - attempts to use an older blankflash may be rejected. As a result, we can't really make blankflashes ourselves, and Motorola will not give those blankflashes out (probably as the blankflash directly affects the bootloader). The blankflashes we have are leaks, and from what I've seen, they're too old to work on Oreo bootloaders or newer 7.1.1 bootloaders.

As I mentioned previously, you may have hard bricked from taking an OTA after downgrading your stock firmware. If so, the current resolutions are to either send your device to a service centre (expensive - may require a motherboard replacement), wait for a new blankflash to appear (unknown timeframe, may never appear) or purchase a new device. There may be JTAG services but I do not know if they will work to unbrick a Z Play.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Felipe Oliveira:
So I can forget my moto z play and buy a Mi mix 2, because your logic card here in the authorized will not leave for less than 800 reais :(
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Unfortunately, if you are not prepared to pay 800 reals or willing to wait for a new blankflash, then a new device may be your remaining option. I hope you have better luck with your Mi mix 2.

Be aware they may not work on devices that were previously updated to stock 7.1.1 or stock Oreo, regardless of if you flashed older stock firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
Hi

I recently sold my Samsung S7 Edge. Just before doing so I performed a factory reset on it. I couldnt find the option to do it through the normal settings (it wasn't in the backup and reset section, where online guides were saying it should be).

In the end I booted into recovery mode and factory reset it from there.

Now the new buyer has just contacted me to say that he can't login to the phone as it's asking for my login details, and can I give them to him and then quickly change my password, so he can login. Obviously I'm not going to do this!

But is it possible what he is saying is true and even though the phone has been factory reset it still needs my login details???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yaro666:
probably a scam or factory reset didn't work.

tell him to boot I to recovery and factory reset or use Odin to flash stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
I looked online and there's something called factory reset protection on android phones now. It stops someone stealing a phone and then factory resetting it and then using it. Basically I should of removed by Gmail account first before factory resetting it or failing that after I factory reset it logged in to the phone and then a new owner could have entered a new user account.

The buyer is being a real pain in the butt though. He keeps asking for my password, which I've told him I can't give him. He also only lives 20 mins from me and I keep suggesting we meet up and I'll sort it but he seems to think he has no time to do this!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
Wow this website used to be the font of all knowledge but now it's deader than dead.

For anyone who does get in this situation, I spoke to Samsung tech help. And they told me I need to get the phone, login when prompted. Then go into the settings and delete my Google account, once done so factory reset the phone. Now the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) will be gone, so the buyer can input a new Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Don't ever give your password to anyone. And yeah, you should've removed your G account before handing in the device.

However, as you said there is a solution, you can ask the buyer to follow these steps to bypass your Google account so he can login his:

https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/bypass-google-account-verification-factory-reset-protection/

After choosing the correct language please follow the next steps:

1. Connect the phone to a Wifi Network (preferably your Home network)

2. The next screen will ask you for the Google Account

3. Tap the text field in which the account should be inserted until the Keyboard comes up

4. Tap and hold the “@” character until a Settings menu pops up

5. Select Google Keyboard Settings

6. Tap on the 3 dots in the top part of the screen (or More depending on what Android OS you are running)

7. Select the Help&Feedback item and select any item in the list that will follow

8. Long press to select any text on this page and click on Websearch in the upper right corner

9. A search field will be shown (delete the text inside the search field)

10. Type Settings in the search field

11. Tap “About Phone” and tap 7 times on the Build Number to enable Developer Options

12. Return to the previous menu and open the Developer Option that just appeared

13. Allow OEM Unlocking and tap Back two times

14. Restart the device

15. Connect it to Wifi again

16. Notice how you won’t be prompted to log in the previous Google Account and instead the phone will ask you to ADD a new Google Account

Hello all!

I have a Nokia 6 TA-1000 with Google play preinstalled, with 4GB RAM /64GB. The phone is stuck at 7.1.1, 1st April.

Is there a chance to update the phone, without putting firmware from another region?

Thanks in advance!:good:

And now the Oreo beta is over and rollout has begun, so the official ROM should be easy to get right?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Why dont you try this

Here are the files to restore original software on TA-1000.

1. Download original software for TA-1000 (build 00CN_3_31A_SP) in nb0 format

https://yadi.sk/d/fN5Oinvt3MwufR

2. Download OST LA v6.0.4

https://yadi.sk/d/hkDVImee3NAZ7a

3. Download patch

If you know how to flash via OST LA tool then you can flash it, else tell me if you dont know

I will explain you one by one ;)

Thank you, sltushar!

Now on the phone I have 00CN_3_170. In your opinion, this is the problem? This is not the real Chinese build, instead is 00CN_3_31A_SP?

Is there a chance to go back to my actual build, after trying what you've suggested?

Cheers!
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
The one I told you, was suggested by developers, its official build for Nokia 6 TA 1000, after this you will get the OTA updates

Install them, then you will get OREO officially

Remember: after you flash this firmware, make a hard reset to let it work perfectly.

Good luck

Hello, I recentley bought this phone and awaiting delivery. I will root install TWRP and flash a custom rom as soon as I get it. I have a few questions.

1) Did I do good to buy this phone , meaning is there still advance in development, is there future in this phone ,is it really as good as I heard? ( I could buy it cheap the international version for 130 dollars)

2)Can someone recommend me a good custom multilang rom ? or should I stay on official roms ?

3)Do official roms get OTA updates ?

I would greatley appriciate your awnsers ( sorrry for the crappy English ):):):)
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongst:
1) no. There isn't manufacturer support anymore. The development is quite good on xda but in my opinion there are other phones with better development from manufacturers(and that's needed cause the drivers need to be up to date)

2)official rom see above. It's old, outdated no security patches. Don't stay with it, it has too many bugs)

3)see above. No official roms anymore.

Would recommend to cancel order and invest it in another device. There are several threads if you need assistance.

I had this device since release and know all the ups and downs of it. The development on xda is great but the manufacturer did a bad job.

[Android General] Xtgear:
Good day ladies and gentlemen.

As my first post I would like to describe how to temporarily change your mac address so that you can enjoy the hotspots Internet access more than what they offer.

You see hotspots record, in general, the mac addresses which "enter" the domain. A mac address is the Media Access Center. Technically you mac is integrated in your phone from production, yet! we can change that now.

You only need 3 things.

-Root

-Busybox installed

-ATE (Android Terminal Emulator)- Just Google Android Terminal Emulator apk and download the latest.

Now, make sure you have the above. And trust me, if you do not know what root is or what harm can come to your device, then this is not for you.

I am not responsible if any harm comes to your device...or you.

So, let's get this on.

As soon as you make sure that you have the 3 necessities which I mentioned above, open up your ATE,

and type the following.

"Su"

Hit enter

Grant superuser settings to ATE.

Then type

"iplink show wlan0" (or eth0 for older devices)

Hit enter

This will show you your current mac address.

Then type

"ifconfig wlan0(eth0 for older devices) hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

Where xx is your desired mac address. My personal advice is to copy your existing mac address and just change the last 2 digits. Just so hardware and software doesn't contradict with each other.

Hit enter.

Now to make sure your mac has changed, type

"iplink show wlan0"

Hit enter.

Your mac should be changed.

Congrats! You have changed your mac!

Do not forget that your mac will revert after a reboot.

For further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Now go and enjoy!

Regards

Xtgear

Hi. I have a A5 2017. I recently changed from the Russian 7.0 to the German Rom and the baseband and also the imei disappeared. I've got ROMs from all the sites and I'm still the same. Any solution?

I can´t have root. I can not install twrp. I have the error only official released binaries ...

PS: I can not change the bootloader. I have the error sw rev ...

I can only flash Ap.The 4 files together I can not

I can install the 4 files + pit but at the moment of starting the mobile it takes me to the recovery and later says things like ...:

- / efs invalid argument

-dm-verity fail ...

Any solution? I'm desperate
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] ashyx:
The issue seems to be a combination of incorrect firmware and bad /Efs partition..

The dm-verity issue is because you haven't flashed the correct firmware.

The EFS error may also be erroneous, but if you've been messing with the wrong firmware and PIT files it's possible you've caused this error by messing up your partition structure and corrupting the EFS partition.

You really need to obtain the correct firmware for your region and possibly flash it with the PIT file if you've messed up your partition structure.
