[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] FEL-X:
Hello to this amazing community,

I have recently tried for the first time to root my device.

Being unaware of the XDA community, I used this guy's guide - https://theunlockr.com/2016/11/29/root-motorola-moto-g4-moto-g4-plus/ .

As I went through the steps of unlocking, booting TWRP and installing superSU, I found out that the device won't start anymore, though the bootloader was still working at that point.

Unfortunately, that guide didn't emphasized the importance of first backing-up the system with TWRP.

Panicking, I even ended up wiping the entire device.

So I started my sisyphic journey of reviving the phone.

Being clueless of OEM stock versions etc. at this point, I thought that I should look for a fresh TWRP backup someone did after purchasing my exact Moto G4 Plus model - XT1644 so I ended up recovering the version that this dear guy has uploaded:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1644-stock-unmodified-6-t3536448

Happy as I was that the machine would finally start, I found out I was running an old Marshmallow version - exactly as the title says.

Still, I assumed that new OTA versions will be available and my device will be upgraded to the most up-to-date version.

Surprisingly for a rookie as me, checking for software updates showed " Your device's software is up to date".

So I search for a more up-do-date OEM stock version, and I have found the following version - NPJS25.93-14-13 here:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

I ran the bash file to flash the OEM while keeping the device unlocked.

The device has loaded finally with the familiar up-to-date version, and an available OTA update appeared.

I immediately ran the update.

That's when I first became familiar with the term "Brick". The device became completely dead.

Now, thanks to siddhesh9146 inceredible thread I managed to revive the device:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761

I went through his steps, installed BlankFlash, flashed the latest gpt and bootloader and flashed version NPJS25.93-14-10.

The device will finally work! I would realize then, that the latest version is actually ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-13 ,

And again, the device won't show any updates available.

So, finally, here are my questions:

1. What could I have done wrong in first place? Was it a wrong superSU version that caused the problem? (In case my rooting aspirations will return)

2. What caused the device to turn brick? I realize it has to do with downgrading version, but after I wiped the device, I only upgraded versions.

3. In general, when OTA are available? Only the newest stock version would receive OTA? Will I have to manually upgrade versions from now on?

4. Could I upgrade now to NPJS25.93-14-13 using the version that siddhesh9146 presented without wiping my entire phone? What exactly should I flash to do so?

5. What are the precautions I have to take while doing so? Is there a risk my phone will tun brick again?

Thanks!

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldTacoman:
I just switched to T Mobile with the intention of using the wifi hotspot for my tablet. It connects fine but it is very slow (<1mps) download. The typical download speed directly to the phone is on the order of 35mps. Is this the best I can expect or is there a problem? I do have the One Plus option with is supposed to give me high speed Hotspot. The tablet works fine on the home wifi, about 30mps. All numbers are measured by Speedtest. Anyone with experience??

It is a T Mobile unlimited plan with One Plus

The phone is a Moto x Pure Edition. Not rooted. Up-to-date stock Nougat.

Thanks for any help

My phone freezes for about 30 seconds after ending an incoming call.

Not at all the time, about 3 out of 4 calls.

Anybody familiar with this?

I'm not using Google dialer since my phone then performs a soft reboot during calls.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sess:
Anyone else experience this? My tilt takes litterally sometimes 5 or 6 minutes to go from no service to TMobile here where I live. I also have the wing and the dash, and neither takes more than a few seconds from soft reset to find the tmobile network. I have an AT&T data only sim as well, and my tilt finds the AT&T network within seconds of a soft reset as well. If there are any solutions this I would greatly appreciate it. At my house here West of New Orleans, I have 3 bars of tmobile service, so I dont think its related to signal strenght.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian159260:
I enabled the setting earlier where your touches are shown, and that is the only thing I can see on the screen, apart from the grey pop ups that come from the bottom when you try to use Bixby (it says that Bixby cannot be used while the power saving mode is on) or if I plug in a usb (it tells me that I can't transfer data until I enable the option to do so on the phone)

The power meter when the phone is shutdown and charging is shown too, and so is the Samsung logo on boot.

The phone still vibrates.

I don't mind factory resetting, but I cant actually transfer any of my data to my computer since it denies the permission without me enabling it on the phone.

Power button + Volume down doesn't fix it.

Power button + Volume Up + Bixby send's me to a list with a few options.

I've already tried resetting the cache, which did nothing.

Safe mode shows the words 'Safe mode' in the bottom left of the screen, but everything else stays the same. The rest of the screen is still black and the phone behaves the same way.

I have USB debugging enabled, so could I run an adb command to turn off power saving?

When someone calls me, it rings, but nothing shows up on the screen. I know that the touchscreen works but trying to press and guess the buttons didn't answer or decline. I could just be pressing on the wrong area though.

As the title says.

I believe my Intel Joying is dieing.

I already have a heatsink and fan but it is becoming slower and slower and almost unusable. Music from any source is very choppy and frequent drop outs. I was going to try to upgrade the O.S. but if this doesnt work Im going to have to move on to a replacement. What is the best in the market right now? I don't care about price, I have had about 3 of these things already, I need something that is going to last for more than a year.

Also what about just biulding one out of an Intel Motherboard into a Pico ITX ?

Install Shadowsock VPN : Use NAT mode to tunnel whole device

Download

Other OPTIONS

A workaround for VPN tunneling whole device

Follow these steps :

1. Go to psiphon and choose Browser-Only mode don't tunnel whole device.

2. Go to its logs tab and check the port of http proxy.

3. Now open WiFi setting and long press to your WiFi network (from which u are connected) go to modify tab and from check the advanced options.

4. Chosen manual proxy option and put host name as 127.0.0.1 and port as the no. which you noted in step 2 (eg. 8080) and click save .

Enjoy you have set up a VPN connection successfully.

You can open your browser and check your IP

Note: You have to undo this after you don't need VPN by changing manual proxy to none .

For those who want to use Orbot vpn

This is very similar to previous vpn workaround for psiphon

Just follow these step for Orbot

1. Open Orbot and long press to start orbot.

2. When all bootstrapped done go to check browser it will ask for normal browser or install Orweb .

3. Open Orweb and volla you r connected to tor but actually its not to tunnel your traffic to vpn go to Orweb settings.

4. Now note the proxy host and proxy port generally it is localhost(same as 127.0.0.1) and 8118 respectively but it may change so better to keep updated with port numbers.

5. Now go to wifi setting and long press the wifi (from which u r connected) and check advanced options.

6. Choose manual proxy option and put the host name 127.0.0.1 and port no. (e.g. 8118 ) which u noted in step 4

Now u can check https://check.torproject.org from any browser and volla Congo this browser is configured to use tor.

Sorry for long guide but it is detail enough so that anyone can easily setup tor in cm builds.

Note: You have to undo manual proxy option to none after you don't use vpn.

All credit of this workaround goes to - Suraj Rawat (@nervehammer) : thanks man :)

Don't forget to press thank :p​
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Misscabron:
Hello you guys,

I am new to this forum as a member. First I will give some background info, pardon me, if it is too long, but allow me to rant about Sony.

I have an Xperia M4 aqua and as most of you I am deeply dissappointed with the internal Storage Problem, otherwise the phone is awsome.

My buildnr. is 26.3.A.0.131 and I bought the cellphone online without a contract.

Unfortunately the bootloader is locked and it says: unlock allowed: no.

I have no clue about technical things, but when I am having a problem I search like crazy through the internet to find sollutions and I try it.

After a long long search I figured, that in my specific case I cannot root the cellphone the regular way, since I cannot unlock the bootloader. And in my case also on the Sony webpage the official unlock code doesnt work, since it says "unlock allowed: no".

I am angry and do not understand why this is the case, also other members have the same issue and I red in Spain a user managed to make sony unlock the boot loader in a sony store, which is in this case the only way possible. Most users recieved nonsense answeres where Sony basially shifted responsibility to provieders, but a unlockable boot loader should only be in cellphones purchased from a provieder, which I havent. Even providers stated, that they didnt ask for unlockable bootloaders, they recieved them that way from Sony. My guess is, that Sony wants to make sure, that users wont use their cellphones too long and buy new ones in their store? really? I really wonder, since I will not buy Sony again.

Anyhow, in this forum one guy managed to root the phone with locked bootloader, I dont understand the instruction though. If anyone can help me with that, I would be thankfull.

MY CURRENT PROBLEM:

My last try was the at first sight "easy way", I wanted to split my external SD card and adopt 50% as internal storage.

I used ADB.exe in cmd, used all the comments. I tried 50/50 split and also total adoption... When I do the 50, in my cellphone storage the external SD card is reduced by 50%, the internal isnt any higher though. It remains 8GB being almost 100% full. When I do the total adoptio, the external SD card totally vanishes, still the internal storage doesnt increase.

I am using a micro SD High speed with 32GB (Lable sais: Micro SD HC) that I purchased for this cause.

Any suggestions? I would be very thankfull.... Only app I can use since full memory is Whatsapp, that is totally crazy...

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
You could downgrade your firmware from marshmallow to lollipop then just use a one click root app like kingroot,

I had rooted an xperia m4 e2303 on lollipop using kingroot with a locked bootloader and no recovery so it is doable

Then you can start to move the bloatware. get some storage bk
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Scrufdog:
I'm posting here since the Sprint HTC 10 forum is basically dead.

So, its time to replace my screen and battery, figured I would actually update the phone too.

Been out of the circle for a long time, need help on how to proceed.

Sprint HTC 10, Viper 10 1.6.0

I'm on Build 1.24.651.3, S-On, Unlocked

I need help figuring out what steps to take to update this thing.

From what I've gathered and can remember, it might be something like this...

1. Flash stock ROM, but is there a way to flash Oreo to the Sprint 10?

2. Unlock again? Maybe either via HTC or sunshine?

3. Flash LeeDroid 5.0

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] santod040:
You need Oreo firmware to run Oreo stock based roms.

As there is no Oreo update for the Sprint HTC 10 yet, there is no Sprint Oreo firmware.

So you should wait for that and the rom to have the Sprint Oreo specific files added.

The error message I got is:

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID,

The readme says: One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Davidgr!:
I'd like to be able to assign different notification alert sounds for different apps. For instance... NY Times alerts would have "sound A" while Twitter alerts have "sound B" and Slickdeal alerts would have "sound C". I know that I can assign different notification sounds for each contact... I want to be able to do the same for different apps. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Some apps give you that ability. For instance, Hangouts texting app lets you specify what notification sound you wish to hear. Also, my email app lets me choose the notification sound. Check the settings in all those apps.

But without root -- unless the various apps have that in their app settings -- there's no way that I know of. Some ROMs let you do that and I believe some xposed modules let you do that -- but that requires root.

Nine is the name of my corporate email app.

Here's the notification options that app has. See screenshot below. Other apps sometimes allow this also, while most force you to use the "system" notification you've chosen.

This app even lets you choose the OUTGOING send sound. (Not shown in this screenshot, it's on another page.)

The LED light enabled is just a carryover from previous phone. It doesn't actually do anything on the LG V30. However, you can save your desired app settings and export them to use on other devices.
