Alright with your phone plugged in use the command:

Fastboot erase userdata

This should wipe the phone clean and allow the phone to boot normally.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Swifty_:
When trying to use that command i get error saying

Failed (remote: Command not allowed)

I tried looking up a fix online but wasn't able to fix it, you have any ideas what to do?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I guess we can't really do anything now. Visit the place you purchased the phone and ask for a replacement since most probably this is a defective unit, especially since it is new.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
So did you get your phone replaced?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Swifty_:
Oh yeah i went to the store where i bought it few days ago and got a new phone in replacement.

Thanks for your help even though we didn't manage to fix it c:

I'm trying to use omapclock and omapclock plus on my samsung bjII i617 it installed but it said cant initialize i/o error I tried setting the registry in omapclock plus and nothing changed. Then I uninstalled but I don't think I unregistered it. So I downloaded the omapclockremover.exe and it comes up but wont allow me to remove the alerts i can just refresh and can't even scroll up the list. I am not getting any notifications of the error sort when turning phone on or it coming out of standby so is my phone ok it is bringing up files in the omapremover program though. I have installed the modaco gps unlocker which supposably app unlocks the phone I am running pocketsnes153 just fine. My question is whats the deal with the omapremoval program and how do I go about getting omapclock to work.

Oh yeah I'm on a mac using missing sync and I used the omapclock_and_omapclockplusv0.0.4.cab was this wrong will it have messed anything up.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meneer_Pieter:
Hello,

If I move/delete/create files, Android OS doesn't seem to notice. For example:

– if I use the default music player, it shows deleted songs, doesn't show new songs;

– the picture gallery shows grey squares with file names of deleted pictures/videos;

– cannot select new notification sound after placing new file in Alarms/Notifications/Ringtones folders.

Many apps (e.g. Music Folder Player and Challenger Viewer that I use) have a "refresh file list" option to update folder contents. It seems strange to me that this is even necessary but isn't there such a function for the whole system without needing to reboot every time I move around files?

I've got an Android J7 but I had this issue since S3 already and it annoys me a bit that this hasn't been fixed yet. I wasn't able to find anyone else complaining about this issue though.

Thanks!

You should post this on medium and also email sites like androidpolice! You can get it published.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prome_theus:
It you don't want, then don't use custom roms. Developers don't force you to use them. Please atleast try to code for a simple app. Then complain about developers. Don't show disrespect to the developers who makes our phones awesome. If you don't want, then stick to stock rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] oatcooky:
At least with MIUI, you'll still be getting UI and security updates even if the kernel base is several generations behind. I love custom ROMs but they're not for the faint of heart, you have to be willing to fix a hard brick before you even think of flashing.

I also don't complain about ROMs or developers because these are all volunteer efforts. When I get home from work, I like to relax with a good ebook and a good workout... Developers spend their down time coding for all of us.

The real targets for indignation should be device and chipset vendors. They black-box most of their code using proprietary blobs and they delay or never release kernel sources, hindering the work of custom ROM developers. The unfortunate truth is that the mobile industry is obsessed with numbers and wants everyone to buy new phones every few months, old devices usually being thrown away. Custom ROMs keep these older phones working for a lot longer but this means reduced profits for the industry.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
Haha thank you.

Thank you for illustrating my point no. 6 very well. I was actually waiting for a comment like this.

To the readers who come here after, please see this post as an example of what is wrong with the community of Redmi Note 3 sub forums especially. If you don't like something, don't use it, but we will not improve or change or even consider how you the user might be feeling. In fact, we are really fine with using half-baked, buggy, and abandoned roms, because we defend this action in the above manner. And if you, the reader, don't like it, you can go to hell.

Thank you, for this illustration. I am sure xda would not be where it is today without such fanboys, and knights defending the honor of developers-in-hiding.

But, to others...We must be better than this.

But if I were to respond to you, I'd say...no one forced the developer either to publish his crappy rom, promise you regular updates, make a commitment to you, beg you for donations, promise you continuous support, gain the user's trust and....once his crappy rom has been flashed on your device....to just abandon it and leave...because well "he has a life".

Don't commit, if you can't follow through on your commitment. If you like making roms, make roms, and keep them to yourself. But when you make a promise, and when you get hundreds, if not thousands of people, to install your code on their device, then have the basic decency of accountability. Show your userbase the same respect you demand of them.

Yes, I agree with you. It is really a pain...and when after a lot of efforts let's say someone manages to get something to work (Eg. VOLTE video call, Goodix fp etc), it is still mostly unreliable and buggy. This is not a developer side problem, but the manufacturer side issue like you correctly said.

My post is not only about developers. But about a lot of other things, including the community interactions and the whole sub-forum ecosystem. But just because it is a volunteer effort, doesn't mean you should not have certain standards. But anyway, I think the developer side of the issue is not as big as the community side of the issue. There is rampant abuse, personal attacks and what not, for asking simple questions and doubts, which are completely unnecessary. Everyone would leave like that, and what you are left with a bunch of people like the second post above quoted, who really don't give the community a better name. And its a vicious cycle that repeats itself. Perhaps, we can stop worrying about OEM strategies because it is not something that we can control, and start by things that we can control....like the interactions we have here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scrubjay55:
The guys on posts that you screenshotted are doing what has to be done. If everyone stops spoonfeeding other people, posts like "plezz gimme the latest room link" will disappear eventually.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
So you happen to be one of the people who condone online abuse under the pretext of not 'spoonfeeding'? There are many ways to respond to the same queries without resorting to abuse and questioning people's sexual orientation. It's called being civilised. Which seems to be a rarity in these sub forums. Hence it is inaccessible to most newcomers.

And while many developers do post updated links and changelogs on the first post itself, and diligently update it periodically... Not all do.

The whole point of the article is to take more responsibility in being a more helpful community rather than abusing people.

Those guys should find other vents to take out their frustrations of life, elsewhere.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alan Ryan:
While I agree with the OP in general, I disagree with this particular point. There are hundreds of people who just hop onto a thread with the usual dumb questions - "SOT?" "Muh VoLTE?" and so on without reading anything. They don't read the original dev posts, nor the following posts, not even the posts that are just above theirs, which sometimes even have the answer. They expect to get everything given to them - the links, the tutorial, the bug reports to the point where they basically expect you to install everything for them and even wipe their ass while you're leaving. You say, be cordial and don't abuse people, but that goes both ways. People should read more and stop abusing devs with utterly moronic questions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scrubjay55:
Yeah this is what i was trying to imply.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prome_theus:
Just like I said earlier. Nobody forces you to use their custom rom. And nobody begs for donations. First try to code atleast a line before posting such s*** posts. Then you will know how hard it is. You are just a noob trying to showoff by showing your hollow brain ?. Just pathetic.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
To Other Readers:

Dear Reader, this is an example of personal attack by a member of the custom rom community. When such a person has nothing substantial to say, they will assume things about you (In the screenshot in the original post it was questioning someone's sexual identity, and here that one doesn't know "a line of code" and is a "noob"). They will then proceed to abuse you by trying to dissolve any credibility that you might have. Actually their entire message will not have anything of substance, and will not contribute in any meaningful way to a productive discussion.

In fact, it might be factually incorrect too.

Eg. "nobody begs for donations". As you can see below, the above respondent is actually more ignorant than what they may accuse you of being.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Oh and BTW,​

In fact, the respondent himself has solicited donations in the past, it would seem

...:o:o:o:silly::silly:

Before abandoning that project, as was one of the points in the original post.

So you, dear reader, may choose to ignore such comments. You will find such comments and aggression littered across all custom rom sub forums. But it is not representative of the larger XDA community, I assure you, which is more helpful and forthcoming than this.

***​

P.S. Yes, I can code. Been at it more than 8 years now. Not custom roms, of course (otherwise why would I post the article). So much for assumptions of me being a 'noob' and 'not knowing how to code' LOL. :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] biman__17:
Nice post. :good::D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prome_theus:
So you does stalk on my profile and abuse me personally. Bravo ???? wasn't you the one whining about them ?.

And I didn't beg for donations as you can see.

And as far as I can see, "8 years experienced code expert" doesn't seem to have contributed anything to community other than some whining posts about s***.

I don't think you are even worth the reply.

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

If you don't want to use other developers custom rom. Fine. The device tree is in github. You can easily make one yourself instead of whining. Then only noobs like you would know how hard it is. I don't think you know even to reboot to recovery. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
1. Let's try your own logic of "nobody is forcing you to use custom roms etc etc." I posted something. I didn't ask you personally to read it or comment on it. If you didn't like what you were reading, then you could have have stopped after the first paragraph and left the page. There was no need to start commenting from the very beginning with nothing but assumptions about me and aggression.

Wouldn't this be accurate as per your logic?

2. Which made me wonder....why, when every other respondent seems to be fine with the general ideas mentioned in the OP, you took it so personally and started raging right on a forum thread. It makes sense to me now, since you actually had done some of the things I had mentioned in the OP that I thought were wrong with the custom rom scene (like abandoning projects after donations and commitments etc.,... then making unhelpful aggressive posts and name calling for no reason...exactly my points mentioned in the OP). This obviously is just a theory that I have.

3. Commenting on something that one feels can be improved, is not called whining.

There is a reason why Franco (the kernel dev) called the RN3 community on XDA 'cancer'. I understand fully why.

4. If it helps you sleep better...sure, mate, I don't know how to even boot to recovery. In fact, I just learnt how to tie my shoelaces this morning. It's a miracle! We done now?? :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
I think the thread here is at risk of taking a turn which it was meant to avoid. Perhaps, the next comments by other people can be on a constructive note. It is my sincere hope that at least some ideas can come, which can make this ecosystem more friendly, more supportive, with a focus on quality checks over the diversity of abandoned custom rom projects.

I also hope that someone can shed more light on this "Official/Unofficial" tags that I mentioned in the OP. Like, how can we make that Official tag more meaningful?

Lineage OS seems to be coming up with something along the lines of minimum set of quality requirements for it to be called Official. Perhaps something like that which is actually tangibly enforceable would be something custom rom users could benefit by.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tangoviking:
I kind of agree with OP but of course It's not really a problem with custom ROMs but instead a problem with how messy this forum is and the search function is.. I'm sorry to say almost useless, that results in many questions asked over and over again. And most of the time questions seem to be ignored (even when they are new) but yeah custom ROMs can be amazing and I am thankful for all guys doing work on android but be prepared to be alone with your questions and bugs.. btw, I have had contact with Xiaomi regarding bugs in their ROMs and they ignore just as much :) I learned how to fix them myself...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
1. Please then don't waste your time, and leave this thread alone. (Your own logic of ..don't like custom roms, then leave).

2. From the very beginning, you have done nothing but name calling and assuming things. You continue to do so, proving my points further and further.

Didn't you say I am a "noob". And aren't noobs told to "use the search function" before posting things?? How is then using the search function to find publicly available things creepy?? :confused::confused::D:D

Every single inconsequential point you have made, since you started raging against me from the first post onwards, for no reason whatsoever, has been proved hypocritical. I think it is only fair that we stop this altercation now. It is leading nowhere.

Good day!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vypers:
Yes thank you. People are asked to use search function quite rudely all the time. And I agree, for things like SOT, VoLTE etc etc it's easy to go back a few pages and find the answer. But for more complex queries, although something may have been answered before, the XDA search is inadequate. Google site search is better.

And just to clarify, in case it seems that way, I am in no way saying that developers work less, or that I don't appreciate their efforts. In fact, I am taking my cue from some of the highly regarded devs like xyyx, Franco etc, to suggest that what they do should be done by more devs...like communication, accountability, not vanishing without a word, consistent support, thereby instilling confidence in their users.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarioRetr:
Hello,

I have been started to work on LeMax2 for two weeks (switched to lemax2 development for the hardware).:)

However i started to work on it, and i really wonder "upstream linux kernel 4.4 can be ported to LeMax2? and why not?" after i saw CAF added msm8996 (our device's chipset family) support into Linux 4.4 kernel

Warning: For the moment the installation of the Kernel is not recommended, because it is still in the process of instability so you may experience errors of which we do not take the slightest responsibility.

At the moment it is recommended the vision you have developer.

As you already know our main kernel version is 3.18 right now,

Whats the benefit of 4.4 kernel:

-Nearly thousands of changes which some of them are bugfixes and some of them are new sweaty kernel features

-Better power management

-Better memory management

-More secure (vulnerability fixes)

- And so on

So i started to work to port CAF 4.4 into LeMax2

- i just forked CAF pure,vanilla 4.4 kernel which support msm8996

and started to add LeEco Le Max 2 drivers + device specific changes

its very very WIP stage right now

TODOS:

- Merge all x2 drivers and device specific codes into kernel

- Fix all merge conflicts

- Update driver kernel API calls into 4.4 APIs (that is the hardest thing)

- Fix all compilation errors

- And hope for boot / Stay in!!!

İf anyone has an ability to contribute/help etc. and/or interested in this project , it would be really appreciated

Kernel Version: Linux 4.x

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papy Infor:
Hello,

(Excuse my english I'm french)

On my Android rooted with TWRP and SuperSU (Nandroid and EFS backup made with TWRP), I tried to unroot it with superSU to perform a nougat update. I had an error that I did not notice. So I made a restore with Nandroid backup created by TWRP and I lost my imei and my SIM card is no longer recognized.

When I want to fix the imei with the CuBz90 guide, I get the "check fail device 2 binary 1" error that seems to be related to the bootloader version.

I have three questions:

Is there another way to recover my imei?

Is a new firmware combination adapted to the bootloader version being prepared?

Will the installation of the last Rom stock solve the problem but with what risks?

Bootloader version: G935FXXS2DRAA

PDA Version: G935FXXS1DQLC

CSC Version: G935FOXA1DQJ3

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AMunozXS:
Hello guys, I have a S8+ 955U version tmobile. I was on oreo beta and wanted to revert back to 7.0 latest which is G955USQS2BRB1. I odin the files but it caused me to format my internal memory. i lost all my photos of my newborn.

How can I get them back?

I've tried a few programs but I have to be rooted which I'm not.

I found a thread SAMPWNED to root device but I can't downfrade that far back.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. no i did not have an sd card in the phone, all files were saved on internal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
It's really difficult to recover photos from a formatted internal SD card. Best option, I think, would be try some other recovery apps, so see if they have access to your phone, though I don't think they will have that type of low-level access.

Another possibility might be to use ADB and if you can, pre-system/security startup, enable ADB within the phone, and then you might be able to do a recovery scan of the phone partitions.

There are a few (vague?) how to's on using ADB to enter the phone pre-system/security. Search 'sonnettie', the author of one method, and you will likely find other author off-shoots of the same type of method. If I don't stay current with a thing, I forget most of the details, but that was his original(?) method, which as I was told, came to be used by others to get into the phone pre-system startup/security. It might have been obviated by the Oreo update with a bug fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lynxblaine:
Did you have Samsung backup configured? If so it should have uploaded the photos and you would be able to restore them. If you don't make a backup your photos are already lost, you never know when your phone might die, be stolen or in this case get formatted. Google photos is a good alternative to keep your photos backing up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dansimko:
Some people have incorrectly stated that it is possible to recover the photos after formatting internal storage. The data partition is encrypted by default and unless you are able to recover both, encryption key (it was most likely overwritten during first boot after factory reset) and the part of the partition containing the photos, you cannot get your photos back. Also, I have not seen any commercial data recovery software, which is capable of finding encryption keys and deciphering corrupted data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sergioslk:
Exactly, the phone is encrypted, not remotely possible to recover the photos scanning the memory
