[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacegod:
Hello, i came here to describe my issue, as i've spent hours looking onto solutions that didn't work. My problem is : Everytime i try to flash/restore through recovery (twrp/cwm/philz(dif. versions of each)) a custom rom for my Xperia Z1 Compact (such as RR rom, DStrikerz, Cyanogen) i always end up with a pixelated UI, totally unusable. It starts to get these watermarks as well, that stay on even on recovery. But go away if i restore a stock based rom/firmware. I have tried relocking the BL, making a complete phone repair with Xperia Companion, unlocked the BL again through the official Xperia method. Flashed the latest TWRP, and again tried to flash a custom Rom, and the same problem remains. I am getting quite brain teased here (and tired). Any solution you may know? Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Siggyceline:
Hi Folks,

One of the (many) reasons I chose to try Lineage, (or any custom ROM for that matter), was my desire to use my Nexus 7 2013 devices for Wi-Fi Analytics. As most here are probably aware, the challenge is that Stock Nexus 7 2013 FW does not support DFS at all. Anything on those DFS channels cannot be seen by either the Nexus 7 itself, or via 3rd Party apps (i.e., Wi-Fi Analyzer).

Anyway, after upgrading to Lineage 14.1, I found nothing really changed in that regard, and I still could not see DFS. I have Four APs for my Wi-Fi network, and two of them are operating 5GHz DFS channels. (I run CH 36, CH 100, CH132, and CH149, all 80MHz)

Knowing full well that the Qualcomm WCN3660 Wi-Fi chipset in the Nexus 7 2013 can support DFS, I went about investigating driver versions and configuration. After much trial & error, I found a solution.

(Assumes Rooted Lineage 14.1 installed already)

1.) Download "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin" driver from CodeAurora Website

(hteeteepees://source.codeaurora.org/external/hisense/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/wlan/prima/tree/firmware_bin?h=8130_CS)

2.) On rooted Lineage 14.1 Nexus 7 goto:

/vendor/firmware/wlan/prima

3.) Rename "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin" to "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin.old"

4.) Copy the file you downloaded to this same directory (/vendor/firmware/wlan/prima)

5.) Reboot

6.) Enjoy DFS channels

It appears the WCN3660 driver from the source above (CodeAurora) is newer than the driver being used in Lineage 14.1. Don't know if there is some other reason why the choice was made to use the old driver from 2008, but this newer version works great on my devices, and now allows DFS channels.

Just my 2 cents. I looked all over the forums for a solution to this issue, and never found anything. I also spent a LOT of time trying to edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file (often in the WRONG Location!), to no avail. Decided to post the working solution I found so others may (hopefully) benefit from my findings.

(NOTE: if you try to use the WCNSS_cfg.dat or WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini files from the CodeAurora web site, it is most likely Wi-Fi on your Nexus 7 2013 will not start...at all. In my case, (and on both of my devices [flo & deb]) I found it necessary to ONLY replace the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin driver file. The other two ORIGINAL files seem to work fine with the newer driver. )

Siggy

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] michalpro:

Old topic.

But anyone has that bin file? Can't find anywhere and code aurora is down... Thank you
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Siggyceline:
Sent to your PM ... Not sure this works after Android 9... I seem to remember that after Android 9, if you write to the directory to replace the driver, my Nexus 7 wouldn't boot. Did not have time to triage at the time.....

Anyway, I've moved on to Samsung SM-T720 (S5e), SM-P610 (S6Lite), and Pixel7Pro. Running LineageOS 20 (S6Lite) and 21 (Pixel7Pro and S5e) now.

Thank you.

Applied to 6.0.1 and fixed permissions. Nexus connects to channel 149 without any problems now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] asonmaxmc:
It all started when my phone didn't get the Oreo Update. So I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, downloaded an Android 8.0 rom for my phone.

I wiped data, system, boot, caches, and internal storage. I tried to flash it but is failed. So I restored the backup of system and boot. When I restarted the phone, it is missing many key apps, keyboard, file manager, and system update, and settings such as bluetooth is not working. Please help me! Games are running pretty slow and

the UI is ugly as hell, please someone help me!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
You will hardly find a trustful source since FF does not host anymore, or what.

There is a generic Huawei Firmware Finder thread on XDA (not specific for Mate 9), find it and ask there, maybe FF moved or reorganized, maybe there is still a chance to use and download

Otherwise, you can try:

Search - AndroidHost.RU

Check multiple download links at the same time.

androidhost.ru

Enter MHA-L09 or MHA-L29 (or just MHA-L), depending what's your model and Search. Go through the list if you find something for c636 (there is more for v432, but it requires unlocked Bootloader and rebranding).

Most of the firmwares here contain official Installation instructions from Huawei, and a matrix from which build numbers they can be used for DLOAD - they are the so-called Service Repair firmwares for Huawei service repair shops

There were threads here about American users updating from Nougat and Oreo to Pie, find them and read. If you ask there, maybe spmebody can still answer (threads were still acive last year, not in 2018 like the the threads you choose to ask)

Good luck
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
but no find dload c636 oreo only c432 :( i try
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Try searching for general FF thread on XDA and ask them what happened with their store

As a last chance you can try:

Huawei | Halab Tech Support

support.halabtech.com

They have scattered things around various folders and pretty complicated scheme (at least it was 2 yrs ago) how and what can be downloaded for free and what requires and which type of subscription

Two years ago I downloaded something successfully (without subscription), later didn't try anymore (btw, I have ended up with my Mate 9 and generally the Huawei phones)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
problem that before had the Russian site Ffinder that had the ROMS and now has no more.

I managed to do the DLOAD only with Nougat that I have here and I don’t think anymore, I found other C432 C185 Oreo but I don’t find the C636

it's really hard

I downloaded this MHA-L29C636B378 (8.0.0.378) but when making the DLOAD folder it doesn't work

Once you remove the back cover you can press the button with your fingers/nails. In case that your buttons are damaged and don't work you can put a piece of aluminum foil between the button and your finger, I do this with mine because of the same reason, to turn on the screen you can enable the double tap to wake the phone. Sorry for the English heh.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazin mr:
I had same problem my power button had been brokenh

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Pablete197:
Hi,

I want to ask a nooby question. However I haven't find an answer on the internet.

When I turn on data on my mobile an x appears below the signal icon and stay there for about 5min. What does this x means? Why does it stay there for so long??

Even though the X appears I still have internet connection
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] rael75:
usually x means your not using data

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] alkesh95:
What he said.

There are two ways to show you are not connected to internet.

1. x instead of 4/3/2g shows your mobile data is off.

2. x on the right angle of network bars represent that internet connection has not been established with your TSP.

Hi all, I'm trying to install a WWE ROM to my Kaiser but cannot succeed. (I've already instaled the Hard SPL on my Kaiser).

Problem with the WWE ROM is that the upload process stops short at 2%. After it reaches 2%, Kaiser resets itself and I get an error message on the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility" saying "ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID".

Anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Thanks in advance,

Hello :)

This is my first time doing a thread here so i'm sorry if this doesn't belong here.

So, i need help. I have a ZTE Nubia Z5 Mini NX402 which has Android 4.2.2 and i install a ROM Android 4.4 but the problem is that last week i broke my touch screen. This week the technician replaced it and the phone is fine in his stock ROM (4.2.2) but when i put the 4.4 ROM the touch screen doesn't work, in order to make it work i have to install the touch driver and then the phone works perfectly but the WiFi is deactivated and there is no way to turn it on.

The problem is in the driver that somehow deactivate the WiFi, but i need to install it in order to make the touch screen work.

Any way to solve this problem? Thanks :)

P.D: Sorry for the bad english.

Hi, I thought y'all might be interested; the product is a Bluetooth HIFI Headphone amplifier. I found this after searching for a pair of Bluetooth ear buds that could hopefully come close to my wired Sony MDR-XB90EX earbuds. I haven't found a pair yet after three pairs, but discovered this little device which allows me to plug my wired headphones into and connect w/ Bluetooth. This little device supports APTxHD and uses Bluetooth 5. It is pretty impressive and is definitely the best solution I found so far. Here is the link & a pic if anybody is interested.

Thanks!

How did I installed:

1) Format Data

2) Advanced Wipe (wiped everything except MicroSD card and USB OTG)

3) Installed the system

4) Installed the Magisk

The only way how can I install Android is to do it through uppercut

I unlocked bootloader, loaded twrp, loaded magisk, and rooted.

NoBloat "disables" and "deletes" apps, but they don't disappear. AdFree loaded a host file, but ads are still everywhere. In short, they think they have superuser access, Magisk Manager thinks they have superuser access, but they don't seem to actually have it.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DrPhant0m:
Hello.

I have the carrier unlocked US996, and I just bought a US996 on eBay. The auction said "factory unlocked" and didn't say "US Cellular" anywhere.

However, when I put in the IMEI and device ID into the LG Bootloader Unlock website, it tells me my numbers are invalid, and starts counting down from 10 tries before locking my account.

I know that last part is a pretty strong indicator that I have the US Cellular version, but I'd like to confirm it some other way... especially if I end up having to send it back to the eBay seller.

Is there a way to determine the carrier based on the IMEI/ESN/MEID/Device ID/Serial Number/etc?

Obviously, it doesn't have any carrier branding on it, so it's not that easy.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dr_DjEnder:
take out the battery it will say UCL for us cellular or us966 unlocked unless it's a referb unit in which case motherboards may have been swapped out

if it's root you want it can be done on both us966 can be done via dirty Santa if you downgrade to the right firmware, none have anti roll back for the us996
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the tip...

So... I don't see UCL, But I do see VS995, which is the Verizon model V20, in addition to US996.

I do want root, but I want to use it on Verizon, so I'll have to check if all the bands work, assuming this is the US Cellular version. I wanted to go the official route with LG developer, but I might try dirty Santa. Can I revert to stock? The kdz file has to be available right?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dr_DjEnder:
There are kdz files on https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-vs995-firmwares/

so just see what software the mother board is eg: us99610n / vs995(number) (letter) to see which one it is

use lg's tool (lg up i believe) or uppercut to force lgs tool to see the device
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DrPhant0m:
So... But looking at the picture I posted, what device is it? I still have to make sure the right bands are available, even if I choose to root/unlock. Besides, I could have paid less for a VS995 or US Cellular phone. I thought I was getting a factory unlocked US996.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dr_DjEnder:
I haven't seen one where to info has 2 models before so I'd say look the the software version on the phone (under software info in the settings) and go with what's already on the phone.
