[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
So i checked on a friends stock m9 and indeed it has the 4.47 update.

So i guess i am just doing something wrong. I am rooted but i never chose the option in twrp to modify files.

I can connect to the ruu in download mode. I tells me the correct rom that i have on the phone and offers to update. Once i choose update it seems to work fine. Reboots my phone then gives me error 123.

I cant seem to find a zip for it. Or a copy of the older ruu.

If anybody can point me in the direction of a database somewhere that would be super helpful. I know the mods used to keep them stickied at the top.

I do have a ruu and zip on my computer from a couple years ago that i will try too.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
Tried to flash the last ruu i flashed before. got error 155 and now am stuck in flashing mode. With a half flashed phone. no way to reset it. 10 second power button does not work. cant pull the battery as the ruu advises me to do.

Guess im waiting for the phone to die from 100%

I think the problem is simple and something i totally forgot in the last couple years.

I NEED TO RE LOCK MY BOOTLOADER. but who knows. apparently its just me on here.

SO LONG FOR GOOD ADVICE FROM XDA.

BOOOO.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
Yah. I get it. Was kind of just shouting to get some attention.

Ive noticed that not just this forum but many other forums that i used to use have lossed a lot of popularity.

I think because facbook groups and things like reddit that cover all subjects.

The problem with those places is that they are so unorganized.

Maybe thats also part of why its become so unorganized here. just what people are used to.

I honestly wasnt expecting actual info. Thank you.

Well i was afraid to brick it so i figured out (accidentally) how to update.

Yes that was. it is 4.27.

I could not find any older ruu's on their site. Or anywhere for that matter. none with active links at least.

Yes 132. I did not realize that. Do you mean i would need to update via ota? by searching for updates.

So i was originally trying to flash the latest frimware 4.27.xxx but i kept getting error 132.

And on the htc website it has 2 sections for ruu's m9 ans m9 developer. So i just figured it was the wrong one.

So i figured i would try the last ruu that i flashed before installing the rom that i ran for almost 2 years (lee droid)

when i flashed that, it got halfway through and gave me error 155. but left my phone in the middle of an update. Apparently the power button is disabled during this process.

it tell you to pull the battery or hold the power button for 10 seconds then try to recover from the boot using the ruu.

Well i could not reboot the phone so i just started the recover process. This rebooted my phone a few times then just started flashing the rom. To my surprise it worked.

It also re-locked my phone.

After that, now that im stock, i tried to flash the 4.27 ruu. still 132.

So i tried to run the ota's and they worked.

Took about 4 hours and 7 updates or so. probably 5 gigs on the data plan but finally it finshed with a 1.1 gig update to 4.27.

Im not sure why the first flash failed or why it worked, but eventually it did work.

Ive always relocked my htcs before running an ruu. If not then they never seem to work. I dont mind it because it takes about 10 seconds. and i already hae the token. I actually remembered the majority of the commands.

Maybe its causing another problem that i dont know about.

I did see the oem unlock in developer options if that is what you are talking about.

I was using the last ruu that i had used. but i also flashed a rom and it was a long time in between.

Also i installed the old version of lee droid on 4.27.xxx and it seemed to work fine. I did this on accident though. Flashed the wrong zip. Re-flashed the latest 4.0 and it seems to be working great. Noticing a couple little lags. Might go to the stock rom just rooted and debloated. It seemed to run a little smoother than leedroid for the time i was using it. but i felt like they were trying to extract my stem cells via confusing TOS agreements.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
The power button isn't disabled. As said in my last post, you need to press the power button and the volume down button for 30 seconds. It's always been like that on the M9 since HTC already changed that on the M7 or M8 (can't tell you which one exactly it was).

Relocking was only needed on HTC phones that are older than the M9. HTC changed that with the M9. And as said in my last post, re-locking the M9 if you don't have a RUU at hand that you already used successfully is more than dangerous due to Google's FRP. You might end with a non-booting non-unlockable phone.

In addition, a relocked dootloader doesn't change the fact, that your phone is missing the needed encryption keys. That's why the 4.x RUU still failed.

However, it's nice to hear that you could solve your problems now. ?

Ah, I made a mistake while writing my posts. It's power and volume up. Not power and volume down. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMike2182:
For those of you who's carriers have disabled the Guest mode and Multiple Users mode you can easily turn it back on provided your phone IS rooted and you're capable of editing the build.prop file in the /system folder.. This feature comes in handy when your family or friends want to use your phone and you don't want them to be snooping through your stuff! Add this to your build.prop file

#

# Multi-Users

#

fw.max_users=3

fw.show_multiuserui=1

And then reboot the phone and upon turning back on swipe down from the top quick settings and you'll see a new option (circle picture) next to the system icon gear.. Tap that and check it out..

As always, make sure you make a backup first since you never know if anything could possibly go wrong!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] m20120:
I have the unlocked Note. Is guest mode disabled on the unlocked version? Or do I need to root to enable it? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMike2182:
You should be able to see a picture right next to the system icon gear in the quick settings menu. If you can't tap on it then you don't have it and the only way I know of to get it is with root access to change the build.prop file.

[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] jakeotron:
Hi,

I have the SM-G550T1 metropcs version. I unlocked it 1-1.5 years ago and moved it to t-mobile. I must have unchecked usb debugging or oem unlock recently by mistake while in the dev options menu and when I rebooted today the FRP lock was triggered.

I am posting in hopes that someone can reassure me of which files to flash to resolve this as painlessly as possible.

I have the following files from when I originally unlocked (and moved to tmobile) , rooted, and backed up the device:

A folder titled "StockROM - G550T1_PF1_Recovery(MetroPCS)"

a screenshot of it's contents:

A folder titled "2015-01-01--06-25-20_MMB29K.G550T1UVU1APF1"

it's contents:

I also have a ROM I downloaded tonight before I realized I didn't fully understand what I was doing and decided to reach out for assistance. The folder is titled "G550T1UVU1APF1_6.0.1_4File_TMK" and it's contents:

I downloaded odin3 v3.12 tonight and stopped there to seek advice.

I can't get into recovery mode, only download mode.

This is the information at the top left of the display when in download mode, if it is of any help:

ODIN MODE (i'm assuming because ODIN is connected currently?)

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G550T1

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM

FRP LOCK: ON

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED

WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0304)

RP SWREV: B1 : K:0 S:0

It is 11pm EST here and I have to sleep for work tomorrow. I will have a couple hours to work on this at 7:30am EST and will be checking back then. Any help provided would be greatly appreciated. I have read through similar threads on this and other forums, but am worried I am missing something regarding which firmware to flash and what steps to take afterwards.

Thank you for your time.

I installed 6.1 earlier today and Facade 1.4.1 (the tabs in particular) will show up at the top of the screen regardless of order and the left and right on the D pad works for the selected slider AND the facade tabs.

Hey there !

I have a Moto G5 Plus International edition (XT1681) with firmware NPNS25.137-92-4 (latest January Patch).

I want to know what firmware to download from here (https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5 Plus/Stock/) for factory flash not to get bricked like an idiot.

I don't know which one is good :confused:

Thanks :)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
The last 2 ROMs are for your device, if you have a custom recovery I recommend to install the flashable version from this link .

https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/rom-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3675616

Here are the same version of your device NPNS25.137-92-4 (20180101 security patch)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] CobraBoyFR:
Oh nice !

Is it OK to OTA update on these flashable .zip ? As I have also modified the kernel which is not stock anymore :/
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
i didnt try to flash over a fastboot rom, maybe you cant do that.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] CobraBoyFR:
Thanks :)

But basically, what I need is flashing full stock firmware (with recovery and kernel), no matter if it's january update or not. Just the factory images I had when I bought the phone. And I don't know what version is OK for my phone (XT1681 with NPNS25.137-92-4 now) 'cause I don't want to hard brick it when OTA updating (to Oreo for example)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
From your link the last 2 ROMs are the same so you can use both.

You are on stock right? Do you planning on flashing custom ROMs? If you flash Oreo ROMs and you want to downgrade flashing fastboot rom maybe you lost volte.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] CobraBoyFR:
Right now I'm on stock NPNS25.137-92-4, with TWRP recovery + Magisk root + ElementalX kernel

I'm not planning to flash any custom ROM for the moment. When the official Oreo update comes out, I want to update. But I know it won't go well if I OTA update it with my current configuration. That's why I want to be able to flash stock with fastboot (rough clean install), no matter what version I get : All i want is to be able to update to Oreo when it's out. Problem is, I don't know which image I need to download from here : https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5 Plus/Stock/

I know it's there, but don't know exactly the good version.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
This is for our device xt1681

https://firmware.center/firmware/Mo...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I'm on flashable stock with ex kernel and magisk, when the Oreo ota start rolling out I'll wait for flashable rom so I'll can upgrade (dirty flash) so I don't loose anything.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If your device was flashed with stock firmware newer than NPN25.137-15, I would strongly advise against flashing the NPN25.137-15 stock firmware.

The reason is that downgrading stock firmware downgrades your system, but not usually your bootloader (your bootloader will likely report a security downgrade/pre-flash validation error). As such, you'll have a newer bootloader but older system (in terms of patch levels). For example, you have the NPNS25.137-92-4 stock firmware (before flashing TWRP), so your bootloader is the Jan 2018 patch level. You flash this NPN25.137-15 firmware - you have a Jan 2017 system, but still a Jan 2018 bootloader.

The downgrade generally goes okay. However, taking OTA updates with this mismatch in bootloader and system is generally what results in hard bricks; the OTA update checks for your system patch level - in the above example, you'll probably get the OTA update to upgrade from NPN25.137-15... However, your bootloader is not the NPN25.137-15 patch level bootloader, as such your bootloader may get overwritten by the OTA and gets corrupted in the process, leading to hard bricks. This scenario isn't just applicable for the NPN25.137-15 update, this potentially applies if you flash a stock firmware older than what was on your device and then attempt to use OTA updates (unless you could flash the stock firmware directly preceding the firmware you had).

Easiest way is to re-flash the same stock ROM build you had before flashing TWRP. I don't see any NPNS25.137-92-4 stock ROMs leaked yet from the Motorola Firmware Team page https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=171014 or firmware.mirror but hopefully they'll be along soon.

If you're on stock NPNS25.137-92-4, in theory you could flash NPN25.137-92 (the build directly before the NPNS25.137-92-4 Jan 2018 security update), so the next OTA update would update your device to NPNS25.137-92-4 - the OTA would be simply patching your device to the same build it's currently on and in theory that should work. NPN25.137-92 is one of the firmwares currently available so may be worth thinking about. Best thing though is to flash the NPNS25.137-92-4 firmware or newer firmware that is the correct build for XT1681 devices.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RokCruz:
In few words we only can flash ROMs with the same compilation number or higher to avoid hard brick right?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Pretty much, yes (or at least it minimises the chances of a hard brick). If you really want to flash older stock ROMs, please do not use OTA updates at all. Ignore the OTA prompt or freeze the Motorola OTA updater if you downgraded your stock firmware. It's not fun seeing a £150-200 (or your regional equivalent) device hard bricked.

However, with Motorola's habit of releasing different builds to different regions, please ensure you flash the correct build for your device, else the Motorola servers may not issue OTAs if you're on the incorrect series of builds for your software channel. The latest available leaked firmware for your device appears to be NPN25.137-92 (we don't have access to NPNS25.137-92-4 yet).

That was roughly what I figured out but damn, those explanations, thanks buddy :highfive:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] driverdis:
The January update's bootloader is the same bootloader that the November security patch update has. You can flash the

POTTER_NPN25.137-83_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC files from fastboot (skip gpt.bin) then OTA to 93 (November Patch), then OTA to 93-4 (January Patch)

The OTA will not brick the phone since the bootloader the OTA flashes is the same one it is currently on.

Also, this is what I did to get onto the January Patch so I can confirm my phone works fine and did not brick.

i purchased this phone lgl164vl from a person i cannot get a hold of anymore and did factory reset now i cannot use it because i donot know old google account. how can i make this phone useable for me?
[General Questions and Answers] Edicius_bizaar:
Factory reset without Google account

I will attempt to give ya advice on this. I have just recently purchased this device too lgl164vl, ie fiesta 2 lte, and from it's quick start guide I will be quoting from it says...

Under anti-theft guide

add your google account on your device

"After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset."

(Note) "DO NOT forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup.process, you won't be able to use the device AT ALL after performing the factory reset."

Really sorry to give you such troubling news, and let's hope the screen lock and account wasn't set up for anti theft by previous owner, for if the anti theft was activated and you can't get ahold of the original owner I'm afraid you have been screwed. For everything is saved to Google's cloud on that one account it was setup with, and as far as I'm aware, at least until a custom recovery is made for this device, it's more or less bricked (as you can't use it.)

Hopefully this isn't the case and perhaps it's a network issue on which I have no advice.

lol, good one

these tracfone things are really tight; they don't want you to keep using it without the tracfone service, like if you root it to switch to some other service

pretty much a throwaway or you might be able to use it without phone, just wifi

sorry no info; i was hoping for more info myself.

.

I'm trying to discover if the sd card can be configured as internal storage or not. Some providers disable this feature. The system says 'the card SHOULD be used as portable storage' and does not give the option to use it as internal storage (so I can expand my download capacity for pandora).

So, hopefully I can get an answer here: can I buy a faster card that the phone will be able to use as internal storage or is it really locked out regardless? I don't want to waste money on a card I don't need.

How fast should the card be? What rating? I believe it is at least class 10. (it is UHS-I/U3 Class 10)

Is it possible to 'force' the phone to use it as internal storage using ADB? (i read about this somewhere)

if so, please howto, thanks

{figured no need for new thread, don't expect it to work out, stupid tracfones, lol} ... i can do a new thread if you think i should, if there is positive info, thanks
[General Questions and Answers] friimynd:
update:

i managed to get the 'auto-install sdcard internal' program to work.. aftiss (https://xdaforums.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875)

seems to be doing ok so far; i migrated the data over to the sd card, it says it will start using the sd card as default app data and storage/downloads etc. But it did not say it uses the sdcard for app binaries.

The goal for me here is to get Pandora to use the sdcard to download the music with the Prime subscription for offline play, as I have tracfone and not an unlimited data plan.

It seems like it should work just fine, as music is not nearly as demanding as video, less bandwidth, about 192kBps, i think. (or maybe small b? yes, small b, like Kbps). So, really even an older sdcard should be able to do it.

With the premium (not prime) service from pandora you get your 4 most listened to channels downloaded automatically. The difference is $5/month vs $10/month.

The Prime lets you do playlists and individual songs. You have a 'my music' button to add to your offline cache. I suppose there is an automatic download as well. They say they will leave 500mb free at all times.

I suppose it may be inappropriate to talk about a pay service here, idk.
