[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] filjusz:
So, if We flash twrp straight after updating to oreo all data will be lost?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
Use Titanium backup to get all your data back

I often change of custom ROM and I always keep all my data thanks to it

For the root, you will certainly lose it. But it takes 2min to flash the necessary file and get your root back
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aleessio:
Sounds good.Wll I have to reinstall TWRP too?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
Not if you flash the ROM from TWRP.

But you will probably have to reinstall TWRP if you flash your ROM from Odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aleessio:
Can you point me to an official Oreo build I can flash trough TWRP? All guides I found use odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
I'm afraid it's not possible.

Once you flash TWRP, you change the official recovery to a custom one. Once it's done, you can't get OTA anymore for example. So no more official stuffs.

If you want to get the lastest official build, you should use Odin. But it will also flash the official recovery and it will replace TWRP. So if you still want TWRP you'll have to flash it again (through Odin too and after you flashed the official firmware). But at this moment you'll lose official OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aleessio:
I feared that from my experience with previous devices. I'm not so scared to reinstall TWRP and root as much as to lose my data, as I have a lot of apps that are annoying to reinstall (such as two factors authenticators or banking apps). I was thinking to try what they suggest in this post. But then, to install TWRP and root I would still need to wipe data, so it doesn't really solve my problem.

When you backup apps using titanium backup, do apps keep their data and configurations? For example, do you need to set again google authenticator or do you lose all access to your account?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
You keep everything as long as you restore app + data

I have a sprint mogul...for the past few days every time i type the "w" key in the text messages my phone freezes ....

Help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bakntyme:
Don't use the "w" key in text messages.

Seriously though...have you tried resetting the phone? If a soft reset does not fix it, back everything up and try a hard reset. If it still does it after a hard reset before loading on your programs, it is either a ROM problem or a hardware problem. If you are running the stock ROM, take it back to Sprint for a warranty replacement.

Got this phone 5 days ago. The first thing I noticed is I am not getting lockscreen notifications at all even when they are enabled. Does anyone else have this ?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] str8stryk3r:
did you set it to show all notification content? I couldn't find the setting for like two days myself. When you click the notifications tab and then click notifications management, there is a little gear icon on the top right side. go in there and make sure "show when device is locked is checked. I think mine was off by default
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GuestK00409:
Yes, I already did that and notifications still won't show on lockscreen.

Edit: It was enabled by default. So, I turned it off and on again and rebooted phone. It seems to be working after that.

Hi guys. i updated my HTC 10 but i have a big problem. My phone gets an error "System ui unexpectedly stopped.. bla bla.. Send report to HTC" Than screen and the charge light blinking. I couldn't do anything except pressing power button and reboot. After reboot, i use the phone normally but in 2-3 hours same problem happen. Than i installed LeeDroid for Oreo. But still the same problem occurs. I tried some tips like; delete the updates of Google applications or deleted data of htc sense but still have the same problem.

Are there anyone who face this error or please anyone who can help? Thx

I want to say that please make a rom which is not a pure android rom it should a rom like miui or eui like rom in which all function works perfect.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] NMir01:
Wtf dude
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Not to be rude, but did you even bother looking around before posting this?

This phone already has almost all mainstream ROMs ported to it, and unfortunately the lasting hardware issues are not likely to be resolved due to the lack of vendor support for the efforts of these Rom devs. MIUI has been released, EUI is literally the native ROM base on the phone (how did you not recognize that?), and there's plenty of others.

in redwolf recovery

guys need help wiped all system data and now was installing new rom for first time but it wont install please help im stuck with nowhere to go

can i reboot to recovery with os please help asap
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] MyNameIsRage:
What error is it showing? Also you can boot directly to recovery even with no os installed. But whats happening?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] pratik.chabria:
k heres the story

i wanted to flash rr official v6

for that it needed latest recovery so i installed redwolf

but i made backups from twrp

now im in redwolf and after wiping system data , i was installing rr and it gave me error as in a piracy app is installed named mobilism but i had now wiped my device so now i cant install any rom cant recover my old backup because i got to know now that redwolf has its own backup folder and needs new backup.

now i can only flash old twrp which i did but i cant boot to it because there is no os

im absolutely ****ed cant do anything is there any thing i can do to go back to normall:cr ying:

now the question is can i just reboot to my old recovery without the os
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] pratik.chabria:
so after wiping system and data i flashed twrp from redwolf so are you damn sure that a reboot to recovery wont shut the system cause my internal storage is precious
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] MyNameIsRage:
ok ok, man don't get scared, its ok. so first of all, make sure you have around 20 to 30 percent battery. If not then charge the device a bit. Next, thing is switch off your device. Now boot to fastboot and flash the normal twrp recovery, v3.2.1-0 (i just installed the official rr 6 with this recovery) . Now press and hold power and volume up. This should bring up twrp. Voila! Flash the rom you wanted, however the backup you made by redwolf is now of no use.

But tbh, i never heard about this error, related to pirated apps. Can you get a screenshot for me?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] pratik.chabria:
pirated apps problem occurs in redwolf only and if i switch off without os how will my system be able to boot into recovery and i can flash twrp with redwolf but can i boot into recovery without os ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] MyNameIsRage:
You can "do" that. Even if it says "no os installed" just switch off. Then press and hold power and volume down. Device WILL boot to fastboot. Now install twrp via pc. Now press and hold power and vol up. You should be seeing the twrp screen.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Guestx00422:
H’llo Guys,

For the little story, I always liked to customize my smartphones. I had an iPod Touch 5, which I had jailbreak several times until it becomes unusable (I managed to break it completely, including its OS). After that I bought myself a BlackBerry Z10 (special thanks to Cobalt232 and xsacha for the tools they created). Since I was tired of always tinker the BlackBerry (it didn’t lead to anything), I sold it.

You’ll understand that I don’t want that the same thing (breaking it or reset or repair its OS) to happen to my new smartphone, a brand new UNLOCKED Motorola*G5 Plus that I bought on eBay.

Wait! Did I say UNLOCKED, it’s indeed what the announcement made me think : “Motorola MOTO G5 Plus - 64 GB - Lunar Grey (Unlocked) Smartphone,” but when I turned it on, I realized some irrational details.

Firstly, the presence of some Amazon apps and the one of Amazon ads on the lock screen. Then, the software variant and the software channel : "amz" for Amazon.

It’s reference number is XT1687, so it’s the 64 GB ROM / 4 GB (North American Variant), so why is it the Amazon variant?

And why I couldn’t unlock it BootLoader? I know that the Amazon variant can’t be (I didn’t buy it on Amazon, how would I know that), but not all the XT1687, right?

So would I anyway be able to customize my smartphone as I want? I mean changing its software variant and channel, using applications that require roots like Substratum or F.Lux, …

Maybe I haven’t searched enough on XDA forum, but it seems to me that the discussions are very scattered and the answers are even more.

Thanks.

P.S.: I’m new to this forum, so sorry if I didn’t respect some rules.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jackydroid68:
You got the Unlocked Amazon Prime version of the Moto G5 Plus. I believe you can't unlock the bootloader (Amazon didn't want you to remove the ads, but idk about now).

The unlocked meant it isn't locked to any carrier, not bootloader unlocked.

If the eBay posting didn't say anything about Amazon, you should contact the seller for item recieved not as described.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Guestx00422:
Also, I managed to make all ads disappear permanently (even after reboot or connected to the web) without the use of a Music App that have the ability to change the background picture on lock screen.

So Amazon's restrictions sucks.

And legally, I think that they wont have the right to fix that.

So there's my way in 7 easy steps :

1- Disable all rights of Amazon apps.

3- Disable all Amazon apps (look at system apps, not those you need).

4- Enable Developer Options by clicking 5 time on device name I think.

5- In Developer Options, go to the running services section and disable all services and cache from Amazon apps (not those you need).

6- Delete all Amazon ads cache with file explorer of Motorola.

7- Delete all files Amazon apps in settings app (not those you need).

8- Delete all cache Amazon in settings app (not those you need).

9- Reboot, and enjoy life forever :silly:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
FYI... Amazon disabled their lockscreen ads in the latest update of the Amazon Ads app due to security concerns.

Your changes will temporarily stop the ads, they will return... This has been discussed over and over in the Amazon Ads thread.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Guestx00422:
Ok, now how could I unlock the bootloader of my phone? Normally I think I can if I pay Amazon, but I bought it on eBay so ...
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] royredman:
You cannot unlock the bootloader of the Moto G5+ (Amazon Ads version). Although you bought it from Ebay, it still is the amazon version of the phone. That phone is the cheaper version of the original Moto G5+. The only difference between the amazon version and the original version is that the amazon version has ads on it and has a locked bootloader on it.

This means that your phone is locked down. Another way of saying this is that you cannot "Jailbreak" it like you did with your ipod Touch. The only way you can get around this is by buying the non-amazon version of the Moto G5+ and then you can Unlock/"Jailbreak" that one.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] arpanj2:
Hi badger,

If you are referring to steps laid out here - https://developers.google.com/android/images, then I can do it. Won't it still require me to be unrooted?

I am not that Tech agnostic - so if I am wrong, can you refer me to a thread where this is outlined. My only thing is that I get latest patches and still get to keep root without losing data :)

Thanks,

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
