[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
oh yes, many times. ive given up on all the edl files i have access to. i deleted all of them and am trying to find the ZTE provided ones. i have started redownloading the ones i can find. really, i want to go to a clean, unadulterated stock and start fresh. b32 doesnt work on either. i also am reinstalling axon7edltool and killer off the miflashes (i had two versions). full axon flash setup reset. atm, im trying to figure out how id apply mm b20 full properly from an old (necro'd by me today) thread. b15 and b32 fail. im going to re-evaluate every step of my installs and redownload all of my edls.

edit: after redownloading and installing miflash 2017.4.25 i flashed the initial twrp b29 edl. then, using twrp, i installed the stock recovery image. then, and only then, i was able to flash the b29 marshmallow full edl. good news? it all works. still hot though.

Update: making all my pointless updates in one day. lol.

I hard bricked the hot board experimenting with flashing a2017 edl (although when reflashed, it actually ran at normal temp). i managed to restore the serial of my other spare board, but still could not regain the imei. unless i discover a guide to pull imei from some hidden partition or qfuses or wherever it is stored locally, if such a thing even exists, it is doomed to not have service. im tempted to try to find somewhere or someone that can flash the board fully (like a proper factory reflash beyond what edl is. Qfil files for the axon 7 dont seem to exist. but i'd love to see someone flash one like that. maybe ill find a river of knowledge one day.

[General Topics] rambomhtri:
Hi, after upgrading to Nougat (my phone uses an almost Vanilla Android), I can't set the WhatsApp notifications the way I've had them forever. In the past, no matter what mode was selected (sound, vibration or muted), when I received a message, the LED would turn on green, no sound, no vibration.

Now in Nougat, if the WhatsApp tone is set to "silence" (inside WhatsApp options), the LED won't work. Period.

1. If I select sound mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates and sounds. VERY inconvenient.

2. If I select vibrate mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates, equally inconvenient.

In all cases, the option "vibrate" in the WhatsApp options is OFF, but this option seems to be totally ignored.

Is this WhatsApp fault?

That means this happen to all of you as well.

Is this my phone's company fault?

That means this only happens to me because it's a bug of my ROM.

If I go to Android settings, Notifications and select the option "receive silent" notifications in WhatsApp, it is like selecting tone "silent" in WhatsApp, no LED, no sound, no vibration.

I'm quite pissed off of the new notification management of Nougat, it's so confuse and it was way simpler before.

[intro -context] >> you can skip it. it's not the question.

[Question] >> Now, I have the Flash files from the OPPO R9 plus (X9079) and R9 plus (r9plusm A). So I want to translate the "plusmA" version. ('take' translations on the other ROM).

So, If I decompile System file and replace "fameworks-res.*" files from Translated ROM on the other one. will it work?

P.S:. Both ROMs Works on my device, but the First the radio data don't turn on.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No as translations are part of every single apk. You will have to do each and every one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allansrc:
I got it so. thanks... but doing this(and repeting to Settings app) the UI will be traslated?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
In the end yes but there are dozens of things you will have to change. Every single apk in the system folder will have to have translations added. Not just those 2. Then you will also have to do the apps as well.

At last. By another way, Can I copy common app files and replace them from multiLang to singleLang ROM? (without soft brick or some thing else)

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] gebcruz06:
Hi, everyone.

I appreciate if anyone can help me restore my IMEI. I can't connect to network after flashing a custom rom. I've already flashed different versions of official firmware via fastboot, twrp flashable stock ROM, and reflashed modem and erased modemst1 and modemst2 to no avail. I've exhausted every possible option without having to send this to a service center.

Thanks and best regards,

Geb

Get QCN FILE FROM MOTO G5s plus. Request some one who uses this mobile. I can help you restore.

Join telegram [MENTION=4763027]iamp[/MENTION]rabhu.

I can help you.

Use this method to get QCN FILE

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7i99xSIMcSI

But without qcn. We cannot get imei back....
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] gebcruz06:
Thanks for your kind intention. I've tried that method before to no avail. I installed all necessary drivers, and followed the steps faithfully. i was able to extract the qcn file, explore the contents of the EFS partition, modify the qcn file and edit it, but the dead end I ran into was the phone itself is write-protected when I send the qcn file back. Can you please share with me your backup of TWRP EFS partition? It's the only thing that can possibly save my phone. Thanks.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] gebcruz06:
By the way, my IMEI is still intact when you use "mfastboot getvar all" command and in the "Barcode" in the bootloader menu. It's just that the IMEI = 0 when I dial *06#. I know it is in there somewhere. Perhaps you can share with me your EFS and Persist partition backup in TWRP?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Adi5:
I have EFS backup(I didn't have persist partition in backup menu)but you will have same imei.....
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] gebcruz06:
A guy in Moto G5 Plus (potter) forums tried that, his IMEI is still zero, but he got back his signal. I will just try and see if it will work. I'm not a criminal to use someone's IMEI, I just don't want to give up on my phone just yet. Can you IM me a link of your EFS backup, perhaps?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Phazmos:
Using someone else's imei has great potential to cause great problems for you and the person who gives it to you. Never give away your imei or use an imei from another device.

I can't find Enable OEM Unlock option in Developer Section. I want to root the tablet so I can adjust the screen color temperature.

How can I do it? Or should I return it?

attempt

Ok so I tried to root this and everything went well up ubtil I flashed Team win. When i try to open it, the program starts HOWEVER something is up with the touch screen. Im unable to click anything the only power button works. I tried flashing versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3. No luck! Is the problem they are old versions? Should i use 3.1.1 which was designed for Nougat supposedly?

Any advice this is my first attempt in to rooting android devices. Forgive me if any of my lingo is incorrect.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] teknoweanie:
Are you trying to root the aristo or aristo 2?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Aristo 2. Sorry, kind of diving in head first with this whole process. If im doing something obviously wrong go easy on me lol.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Aristo 2
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] teknoweanie:
Hmm and you flashed the twrp that was for the aristo right?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Well the TWRP files i used were on *How To* forums posts and youtube videos for the original LG Aristo. Everything was going fine but the touch screen while in TWRP does not work. Maybe there os a different version I can try? Do any of you guys have any ideas, my understanding though is that TWRP has to be created for a specific device once released. Is thats whats going wrong?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] teknoweanie:
you unlocked the bootloader and flashed the aristo 1 recovery thats what you did so far right?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasinabag:
The aristo 1 recovery will not work at all.

The screens are of the same build, but different composition.

That's why I wanted to test this myself before posting further on the subject.

I can risk my phone, most of you cant.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] teknoweanie:
I figured as much. Thanks for the info! :) Just got mine today. Glad the aristo's battery works in the aristo2 as i bought a couple batteries for it. I still do like the aristo though it feels a bit better in my hand.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Well luckily It seems i have not screwed up my phone. Have reset and wiped it multiple times which was annoying, but seems to be ok. It sucks because it looks like the touch screen alone is whats screwing me over. If only i had a way around it. Then again im sure you guys have a better idea of whats going on. Guess ill just be patient until more is posted on subject.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasinabag:
We need a new recovery for this anyway. Since the aristo 2 isn't gonna have multiple versions (besides the Korean base model the 2 is built after), we should be able to build just one recovery using the model number as it's target, we can make it borderline universal if a new version were to pop up.

I decided against going the metro route, buying mine in bulk. So I'll have one to smash when this is all over.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] TewSlo:
The TWRP method works the same as the Aristo, and the TWRP recovery IS compatible. However the touch screen does not function.. Is there a way to get it to work?

[MENTION=5286037]ninjasinabag[/MENTION] [MENTION=6644472]teknoweanie[/MENTION] [MENTION=8906074]tribal1209[/MENTION] Hey guys, spent a few hours figuring out how to root. Pretty Simple

1) Enable Developer Options, USB Debugging & OEM Unlock

2) Reboot to Fastboot Mode (Using ADB via PC type: adb reboot bootloader)

3) Add root_boot.img into your adb folder

4) In ADB type: fastboot flash boot root_boot.img

5) After flash successful, type: fastboot reboot

6) Install Magisk Manager App
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] spirithandler:
Not to sound sceptical but is this the real deal?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Please someone let me know! I want this phone rooted (Its an awesome phone) but want some verification before I start flashing and downloading random files.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] TewSlo:
Yes, it is. What I did was use LG firmware extractor and extracted the boot image, then I proceeded to patch the boot image with magisk manager. Enabling OEM unlock allows me to flash the boot image with the newly-created custom one. Remember though, you should create a backup of your device because enabling OEM unlock will completely erase everything.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Supposedly the img you posted is simply a modified version of Magisk you posted. Someone please explain to me (Who is new to this whole process) why this supposed explanation does not involve any recovery program or requiring of wiping/clearing any cache or what have you?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] TewSlo:
It is a pretty simple process, I don't like having to use SuperSU or anything else. I have not switched back since I've been using magisk manager as it has functionality just like SuperSU and Xposed Framework all in one. If you have never used magisk manager before I encourage you to try it. I will use a capture program to show video proof when I get out of work

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

Because the recovery is generally what enables the device to be flashed with a custom image, what this does is bypass the need for a custom recovery to root, enabling OEM unlock allows you to flash the boot image, so with that being said no custom recovery is necessary. I was porting twrp2 this device but I figured this is a much easier and uncomplicated way to obtain root access
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Well thanks for the explanation, I guess I was just a tad confused because almost every single root method for the original Aristo involved a recovery program. Why didnt any of those fools simply do what you have have just done?

I want to try this once I get off work, far to terrified to download any of these files on a company PC. Any brave souls willing to push forward and verify his method here?

Just to ease everyone's mind, this is a video of the proof that it is rooted!
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Ok so the above is not working for me. No idea if im doing something wrong in Linux (however the command line said everything went through. No idea if its the bum versions of TWRP that i installed or what but this file is not giving me root access.

How do i remove this file from fastboot

EDIT::: IT WORKS! Make sure to install Magisk manager app
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Ok so i can confirm it actually DOES work. Make sure to actually install the Magisk Manager app!

This is great my first rooted android device.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Ok so I guess my next question is how can I make an .img ISO from my system as it stands so I can REALLY test the waters and try to mess crap up? As it stands now one wrong move and ill hose over my phone correct? I need the ability to flash a recovery program on this thing as well as an actual ISO to use in case things to south. I imagine its going to be a while until we have anything close to a stock ROM available? Thoughts?
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] TewSlo:
I wouldn't recommend doing so, but I can send you the system image when I get out of work. I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish exactly, I have the ability to do pretty much anything you want without editing the ROM. It's not like having a custom image will give you access to doing anything that you can't do with root. But, I will post it here when I get out. If you do not know what you are doing, you will make a perfectly good device and expensive paperweight

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Let me just ask you, what is your objective exactly? What are you trying to accomplish
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] tribal1209:
Honestly all i want to do is have an ISO to fall back on and flash onto the system in case I seriously hose up my phone. I want to play with root apps, and what not to learn more about different things one can do with a rooted phone. Im curious, how did you all find out how to do all this stuff?

Edit:: on a side note I purchased the TItanium Backup and have frozen basically all bloat apps from MetroPCS on this phone and so far have noticed nothing really unstable. Internet seems to be a little slow, but It could just be the anti porn browser im rocking and the Ad block I placed on the phone. Maybe its just because im using metro PCS.
[LG K8 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] TewSlo:
Pretty much just research, especially on this site. The "ISO" is the image, but within that image (which is in fact a .kdz file) is all of the partitions. You can always use LG Bridge on the PC to restore your device, as a matter of fact the image I am uploading to you was taken from LG Bridge once it downloaded to a hidden folder. I would suggest using LG Image Extractor to view the partitions, and use Android Image Kitchen to extract those partitions and view the contents within. So, pretty much there are 3 layers to the LG images.

Image

Partitions

Folders/Files​

So, you would most likely be using the LG Image Extractor to obtain the System partition, and then extract the Android Image Kitchen to view/edit the files. Then, after you edit/replace you'd repack the image using Android Image Kitchen. Once that's done you'd use ADB whilst in Fastboot Mode to perform a function such as "fastboot flash system newsystemimage.img". Also, a quick note about that if you ever brick; you can have the phone powered off and hold down the volume down button and then plug in the USB to get to Fastboot Mode.

The download link to the stock image file is here

I encourage you to try and use the programs above to successfully extract and repack, you'll definitely learn a little bit about the structure of the system and what can be done! It was only a few years ago I got into messing with Androids, and now I can do a whole bunch of things with them including being the first to root the Aristo 2. I'm sure you will pick it right up without issue, good luck brother! Feel free to ask questions!
