[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistros:
Hi everyone,

I posted this thread in general troubleshooting category and after some advice, I decided to post it in the S4 section.

I was since 3 years on custom ROM (CM and Lineage OS) and due to substratum, I had a bootloop.

My problem is quite particular, after a total clean (wipe and format cache,system,data, dalvik cache) of my device and flashing the stock ROM, custom recovery cause me some trouble.

Whatever I try (CWM touch 6 or TWPR 3.1.1), I can't flash custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1), TWPR or CWM crash 1 second after the flash command and reboot, with disable touchscreen and even by using old navigation way and try again, same problem.

Tried also to disable file signature check but no effect.

Quick summary about what I did:

- Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)

- ROM stock used: I9505XXUHOJ2 ( the build on which is based the CF-Root file I used) and Bulgarian version due to mistake.

- I tried on these two ROM with in the two cases, no patch or Samsung ROM update made.

- Tried to install CWM by ROM Manager and ODIN (v3.09)

- TWPR installed by TWPR App using file in .img and not the second option (tar.img) for LTE Internationnal Qualcomm.

-Checked the root before last attempt with root checker and it was ok.

- Made 4 times already the clean and Stock ROM flash to clean recovery and try another way to install it (never had error after recovery install).

Actually I'm on the OJ2 Rom with update and patch delivered by Samsung with classic method.

In advance thanks for your help and I really hope it's not too serious.

By the way, sorry for my english, it's not my native language :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try flashing the stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com, don't root, use Odin 3.07 to flash the tar version of TWRP 2.8.7, try flashing a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistros:
Thx for the help/advice

Just to be sure, my stock ROM is actually from up updato.com but due to the patch and Samsung update I'm now on HPK2.

Here the detail of my stock ROM

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/05/4/1517503670-screenshot-2018-02-01-17-43-00.png

(the integrated image link option made it as large as the moon so I prefer a simple link)

TWPR 2.8.7 is still efficient or another version would be better ?

If yes, I will try in the hour and I will give you news as soon as possible :)

EDIT: After some research, TWPR 2.8.7 jfltexx is not avaible in .tar , only .img and impossible to find it on net...

But 2.8.6 and 2.8.4 are avaible in .tar and 3.0.0 in .img.tar , which one is the best ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I suggested 2.8.7 because Ihave used it in the past and it was very stable. Try a newer tar version. It's really just to see if the phone will take TWRP and boot it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistros:
Whatever I try (TWRP 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 in .img.tar for jlftexx)

Odin (v3.07) do the job , my phone reboot as normal.

But when I shutdown it and lauch in recovery by manual way, got during a micro seconds the android logo of loading and intant "No commands " and I end on the stock recovery. :(

Edit: I will try the same method with Odin using CWM tar (never had problem with it before this day)

Same thing with CWM-v6.0.4.7-Touch-GT-I9505.tar

Android loading logo and "No command detected"
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistros:
Problem solved

Well, I don't know how I made a sucess but it seems the "wild" method worked.

So here is the list of things I did in case somepne got the same trouble

Put your Zip file on SD AND Internal Memory (in case)

All the Zip files I used where on my internal storage during this procedure.

- Download mode:

uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin

flash TWRP3.0.1.0 jlftexx.img.tar with ODIN in admin mode

turn off device after flash ended

Obligation or the stock recovery will return automatically !

Lauch device in recovery mode:

If it's TWRP good news, slide to confirm modifications.

Recovery mode:

-Wipe --> Advanced Wipe--> Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, Sytem and Data (never check internal and SD storage)

I tried by mistake without wiping dalvik cache, and got no boot after 5 minutes so i made it again with all the wipe above

-Install --> Flash zip of the rom and Gapps (got an error at zip signature check on the ROM so I flashed after uncheck this option)

-Reboot --> System

Let your device launch on the new rom, set the basic parameters and after, if you want, return in recovery to flash the SU addon for root (got also zip sugnature fail so I ahd to uncheck it again)

Hoping no one will ever had the same problem but in case, I share my solution :)

Thanks again for help :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sandm4n:
Hi,

My device (bought from Dubai CID: HTC__J15) recently went through a ROM cycle (Stock to Custom to Stock). Currently running Stock EU firmware.

After firing up GPSstatus, i notice that there are GPS and GLONASS satellites visible and no Beidou satellites. Now I'm not sure if Beidou was compatible in the first place although a Google search vaguely suggests that it is there for international devices but market dependant.

Can someone please clarify if the support is there before i go on a crazy goose chase trying to figure out why it isnt working. Thanks. :p
[Android General] donatello88:
Hi all,

I want to build my first rom. I'm a software developer (Java and Web), but my Linux knowledge is somewhat intermediate.

I have a Moto G4 Plus laying around. Here's what I have done so far:

1. Downloaded the AOSP source from Google for android-7.0.0_r15 (Nougat)

2. Found the Kernel Source for the Moto G4 Plus (Nougat)

I'm stuck at adding the device's kernel source to the AOSP source. How do I combine the two?

Here's the link for the kernel source: https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-NPJS25.93-14-10

I've tried looking this up online but the results are very limited.

As far as I understand this kernel source provides everything I need to make the ROM compatible with my device, right?

Could someone point me to the right direction?

Much appreciated.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] joaopaulo_:
Hi guys, i have a xt1626.

And for some reason last night I lost my network signal and SIM 2 status.

Well... I made a factory reset and flashed lastest stock rom (december 2017).

But it still not work.

SIM 1 is working IMEI is correct. but no signal. Only showing "No Service". SIM 2 is missing.

When I see baseband it shows lastest baseband but not with "DSTV RET_BR..." on final. It show "DFLT_FSG".

I flash modem, install others rom (custom) but nothing works.

There is a chance that make it working again?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] abhi212b:
Are you sure you have flashed the correct version of stock rom.??? This happened to me only when I flashed the ROM for another variant!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] joaopaulo_:
I flash this one: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

After some google search I found the problem.

The mobile radio is not turning on. Like if the phone still in airplane mode.

i don't know what i have to do. No looks like HW problem cause sim card is recognized

There is a place wich i found specific firmware for xt1626?

firmware.center only have universal firmware.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] abhi212b:
That link doesn't have the firmware for 1626.. :( there was a file factory link that had all the variants stock ROMs.. So if you find any nougat version you can flash that barring bootloader and gpt.bin as downgrading them will result in a brick! And then take OTA!
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godiedelrio:
Hi everybody. I'm wondering whether it's safe to update a Moto X Force to official Motorola Android 7 via OTA. There are many posts here and there reporting many problems after updating, from unable to boot the phone to battery drain and performance drop.

I appreciate your comments.

Thanks in advance.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] DJBhardwaj:
I hope you're not using TWRP. It will fail.

You can grab the OTA and sideload it using the stock recovery. For OTA links, refer to this thread: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/how-to/7-0-ze520kl-ota-update-links-t3579753

All of them are duplicated if I'll access them from "Phone" app.

What's strange, is while accessing them from "Contacts" app all looks good.

Also contacts on Gmail account are fine.

Can anyone check this please?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] umo4u:
I was facing same problem but after updating phone app problem gone and my auto sync is off also
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] cri347:
Same problem here, both with Android 8 and 8.1, until the last version of the Phone app. All the contacts with WhatsApp, Telegram, etc information are duplicated. I don't know if it's a problem of the app and so the resolution must be from Google or of Android.

I think it's a Google problem, because in Google Messages and Google Contacts and in other apps that access contacts all is fine.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] one-option:
I think the problem is with the stock Android
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] aapje1299:
It's a bug in the Nokia dialer. Google contacts app is fine.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] cri347:
The dialer is from Google ;) We have the Google Phone app, like Nexus and Pixel. Just to specify.

However, I also believe that the problem is with the dialer.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] MrBelter:
My dialer updated a couple of weeks ago and the issue was resolved.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] TeddyBeers:
I have up to date dialer and contact app but problem still exists.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] aapje1299:
You are right, it's the official Google dialer. Oneplus had the same issues, so did the essential phone and the Mi A1. For as far as I can see they fixed it with a software update.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Accessories] GuestD0697:
Hey everybody,

So, I'm the happy owner of a Mi Max 2 since November, and went on a hunt for the best accessories I could find for the phone.

All are recommended based on my personal experience, and the links I hereby attach are exactly the same links I used to order to products.

Screen protector:

aliexpress.com/item/0-26mm-Full-Screen-Protection-Tempered-Glass-Film-For-Xiaomi-MI-MAX-Screen-Protector-Cover-Glass/32707631328.html

No halo/rainbow effect, even after a while. Sticks very well to the phone and doesn't move after application. Great cutouts.

Case:

aliexpress.com/item/PZOZ-For-Cover-Xiaomi-mi-Max-2-2017-phone-Case-original-screen-protector-bumper-fundas-Xiaomi/32826851540.html

The case is made out of silicone, but feels extremely robust. Buttons are easy to spot, and are very tactile and clicky. Has a great fingerprint cutout. Additional edge protection is amazing, and the case protected my phone from many serious (1.5m~) falls, sometimes straight on corners, sometimes straight on screen.

Charger:

aliexpress.com/item/For-Qualcomm-Quick-Charge-3-0-2-0-Ugreen-USB-Charger-Smart-Fast-Mobile-Phone/32723120029.html

High quality Quick Charge 3.0 charger. Works perfectly fine, comes with great cable, everything feels very high quality and well made. Very well priced, too.

What Device & Rom?

These are Google Apps Packages = Gapps that you Flash on your Device IF you are running an AOSP Rom - If for example you have a Samsung device running the Stock TW Firmware - Then this is NOT for you... But it doesn't seem that you are all that familiar with Android (no offense) ?

Lol. I'm still new, I have note 3 hlte, running on LA14.1, trader's. So how's this gapps any different from official Gapps?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
For a device running AOSP Nougat there probably isn't any difference - But if you were running Oreo 8.1 - Currently Official Open Gapps does not have an 8.1 Gapps Package available - So the Unofficial Gapps here are the Solution ?

If you're getting Error 70 (insufficient space) You might want to Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP 3.2.1-1 - Manually Wipe - System - Data and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps (try Nano) and see if it's successful - You should have enough space.

You can find it on developer option, scroll down to bluetooth section where you can select your codec
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] nicky-xda:
Thanks, santitude!

I know about the "developer option" for the general setting of apt-x for BT but this is not the same thing as your screen shot.

Your screen-shot above is apparently a notification about the "running" codec, being actually used at the moment of playing music through BT.

On my device on LOS 15.1 i do not see a notification as on your screen shot, but this is exactly what i'm looking for. :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
I'm on stock Oreo, the notification just showed up during playback using aptX headset, it's probably OS related or behaviour. Anyone using LOS, please clarify :)

Xolo era 2x rooting with twrp

Hello friends.I am neelakanta

I got a good news for Xolo era 2x users.

I have ported twrp for Xolo era 2x.

I have provided a zip file. It contains

Scatter file, twrp file and SuperSU zip file.

You can flash this easily using sp flash tool. Or by adb and fastboot commands.

But you have to unlock your bootloader first. You can find many videos on unlocking bootloader by adb and fast boot commands.

Custom recovery:-

Twrp version 3.0

Bugs:-

Touch and display reversed but you can use it easily.

I will upload a video tutorial soon on how to flash this recovery for Xolo era 2x.

Please subscribe my YouTube channel ' Neelakanta tech tube ' to get the video tutorial fast.

Note:-

After flashing the twrp . Don't turn on the mobile,first you have to enter into recovery and you have to flash SuperSU zip.

Download link:-https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OqfTZ4zH5KqJett9oefaUGL0NQnBpqfK/view

Refer my post for full flashing guide.
