[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rolo42:
Stuff like this is why "technical support" is the way that it is.

OK, so we have no idea what you did since you're not telling us. Help us help you.

How long are you letting it sit and reboot (and leave it plugged into the charger)? The phone will do this after RUU, give it 20 mins or so before interacting with the device. To reach download mode, hold the power button and volume down button, after phone vibrates, release the power button and after menu displays, release volume down button. If this doesn't work, hold all three buttons until after back/recent buttons blink and device reboots.

What--EXACTLY--did you do before this happened? Which variant is your phone? Version? File(s) you used?

1. First I unlocked my bootloader again because it got relocked

2. Then I reflashed twrp in download mode.

3. Then I downloaded the bad boy custom rom from here https://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-10/development

put it on an sd card and flashed it twrp

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] cory733:
I used to do this on my G3 (vs985) every time something went wrong or weird issues came up. I used LG Flash tool with some modified dll files. It worked every time and solved problems that KDZ's would not.

I can't get hotspot / tethering to work at all. I didn't try until after flashing the zefie twrp (which includes a kernel), and it would connect but wouldn't transfer internet connection. Reverted to stock with the KDZ using LGUP, couldn't get the refurbish option to work, but upgrade did. This gave me stock recovery. Flashed the basic TWRP from fastboot and then Fulmics from twrp. Hotspot doesn't even work at all on Fulmics it seems from my testing and all the posts in the fulmics thread. I've tried adding the "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" line in the build.prop, this had no effect.

Anyone else having this problem? I should have tried on stock before I started flashing stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] NegativeOne:
Hi folks,

I'm looking at BestBuy and they are offering both an unlocked version, and a cheaper Verizon version (monthly payment plan which equates to a ~$30 discount). At face value, makes sense to me.

However, my understanding was that FCC rules that all LTE devices would be SIM unlocked. So can somebody please explain to me what the difference is between these two versions? Is the Verizon variant actually locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] JoshuaFCB:
I've had Verizon phones for the past 2 years and they were both unlocked outta the box even though I purchased them through the payment plan. I passed them on to my brother whose on AT&T and they worked flawlessly. from my experience, all verizon phones are unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jmwils3:
I've inspected the Verizon phone in the store, and it literally is an unlocked s9 plus, same model and all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
I know that Verizon and Sprint (or better said Sprint iPhones) are always unlocked.

So, if you have the chance of walking into bestbuy, just take a GSM sim with you and insert it into a Verizon S9+. if it picks up signal and you can place a call, than it's unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] WarlockLord:
Has anyone been able to confirm? The first Verizon shipments have started to arrive by now. Rumor was this was the first phone they were going to lock, they announced that they were going to start in January.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Phluffy:
I've picked up an unlocked S9+ from Samsung and I'm on the Verizon network. Somethings I'm starting to notice... I don't have the "Advanced calling" options, so I can't do WiFi calling. I also don't have OEM Unlock in my developer options. I'd deal with Verizon's bloat for WiFi calling...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LgG2-Ttrain:
I've noticed the same I just put my Verizon sim into my unlocked so plus, no wifi calling for me it's not a issue and I've noticed that all the Verizon bloat I was dealing with on my s9 plus is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
Oh, how wrong you are. ATT, T-Mobile, and Sprint all lock their LTE devices. Verizon had been the one exception due to a deal with the FCC when they acquired some 4G bandwidth. However, now that the head of the FCC is a muppet/puppet/ahole, Verizon has decided that they no longer need to obey that agreement and are locking their phones. Not 100% sure if they started with the S9 series or not.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...es-to-its-network-to-prevent-armed-robberies/
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] l8agin:
This was my understanding, Verizon is going to start locking their devices again. Hopefully not with the S9....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] le0.br4zuc4:
My understanding is:

The phones are the same model. Verizon loads their devices with bloatware and they no longer sale their phones unlocked, unless it's paid in full. You can still call customer service and get an unlocking code if you want. Verizon will run specials on their devices, specially if you buy it making monthly payments on it, because this means you're their customer.

Unlocked Galaxy phones are the phones without bloatware, just as Samsung wanted them to be. You'll get updates from Samsung instead of from a carrier. Those are the differences.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] NegativeOne:
Try installing "Carrier Services" from the Play store.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
That's the first time I've seen this recommendation. What does it do? Does it enable Verizon wifi calling and video chat?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Hi all, I purchased an unlocked S9+ from Samsung yesterday and was hoping to get some answers about this used with Verizon.

I'm trying to avoid that stupid "activation" fee so I went with unlocked. When I went to place an order, there's an option to have it activated through either Verizon, AT&T, but and TMobile (or Sprint, don't remember). I called Samsung and asked if I choose to skip the activation from their site, pop the SIM card from a phone (S7 Edge) with an existing line into it, will there be an activation fee? They told me to call Verizon about it.

So I chat with a Verizon rep online and they told me if I wanted to bring my own phone, there will be a new line fee and an activation fee. A new line fee even though I'm just replacing a phone on an existing line of mine??

So what I'm asking here is, have any of you guys who purchased the unlocked model and had it activated on Verizon, was there some stupid fees that followed?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jaszek:
I have a Verizon S9+ running on T-Mobile. While still on the Verizon firmware, the T-Mobile card would pick up the signal, but wouldn't make or take any calls, and the phone kept telling me that I have a non-Verizon SIM card inserted. Flashed unlocked firmware and TMB USERDATA and the phone works great including WiFi Calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wrichards2009:
Yeah but what are the chances of getting a Verizon rom and being able to flash it on a phone thats been out 3 days?

I work for a certain Authorized Retailer and what that person is bull****. All you have to do is pop your sim card into the other phone and good to go, as long as your previous device was an android phone.

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] aftli:
My screen stopped working (started slowly as a purple spot on the top left of the screen, advanced until I could no longer see the bottom 2/3rds of the screen, and now doesn't work at all). Verizon and Asurion (insurance company) is "out of stock" on the ZenFone AR, Verizon claims it's "discontinued", and were only offering a Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S6 as an "equivalent" replacement, so I had to wound up with a Note 8.

I stupidly left some stuff (pictures, other stuff) stored on the phone itself.

The phone got turned off, and requires a "bootloader PIN (?)" (the bit where before the OS loads you need to enter a PIN to decrypt it). I'd really like to be able to get some stuff off of the device, but can't until it's fully powered on.

I bought a cheap USB-C to HDMI thing (can't post links, it's "USB-C to HDMI CableCreation Type C(Thunderbolt 3 Compatible)to HDMI 4K Hub Adapter (DP Alt Mode), Male to Female, for Macbook(Pro)/Chromebook Pixel/Dell XPS 13/Yoga 910/Samsung S8/S8+, White" on Amazon). It works on my Note 8, but (predictably) doesn't work on the ZenFone AR while it's locked, so I still can't enter the PIN to unlock it. I don't even think it's currently on the PIN screen, I can't tell.

Does anybody know if there's a solution to get stuff off this phone? Did I buy the wrong thing?
[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] hyunjin:

[Android Auto General] 1roberts:
Hi, I have searched the forum to find an answer to this question, and I understand it is probably a basic question, but I appreciate anyone's ideas.

I am trying to start an activity in my app and view it on the desktop head unit. I can easily use the startActivity() method to see the activity open on my Android tablet. However, I don't know how to start an activity so it appears on the head unit instead. I have tried many approaches, including starting a service, but nothing has worked. Thanks for your suggestions.
[Android Auto General] julianwue:
Android and Android Auto is a complete different world. You always need SDKs to program for a specific platform. For Android Auto this is not available, so with any basic Android tutorial you cant reach anything. If you have a Head Unit (from China) with basic Android you can for sure program it like any other Android device. But if you want to use the Android Auto environment build in many new cars, I tell you its more than hard for you to get anything running. Only way you can program right now is a Messaging or Music playing app. So the possibilities are quite limited. More information under https://developer.android.com/training/auto/index.html

Someone knows a way to get more storage?

I have my sd card in this phone but i cant move the installed

Apps on internal storage to sd. Is it possible to

Have the sd card as the main internal storage?

Or somehow install apps there? If yes, how?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
Unfortunately the m4 doesn't have adoptable storage or any other useful trick's to help you out but that doesn't mean there are no solution's however most solution's involve getting root access on your m4 then deleting some of the bloatware inserted by sony an your brand of service provider eg delete facebook and messenger and replace with friendly(a small app with FB and messenger combined around 20mb)

with root access you can install an app that direct's all future app's to be installed on your external sd card thus keeping thing's freed up in your internal sd card

So perhaps this is something you could look in to.

Unofficial but I have seen with my eyes that twrp for honor 7x does work. The Mate SE is the Is the USA variant of the Honor 7x x64 with 4gb ram. The Honor 7x 32gb is the only honor 7x in the usa you can get. Has been confiremed By Huawei USA that Mate se will be getting both oreo and emui 8.0. That Is how I decided to go with the Mate SE

Thanks for everyone in this thread. I was considering getting a Mate SE since they are currently only $230 on Amazon, but one of my considerations for phones is always if there is adequate support for a phone, an easy root, and at least a few roms on XDA for it. I see that this phone has none of these. So, looks like I might have to spend an extra $200 to get a Mi Mix 2....

I rooted mine in less than 10 minutes.

It's a new device with an Oreo update coming soon so developers are most likely going to wait for that.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] syedelec:
After I had my device not booting, I managed to reinstall latest firmware for Huawei Mate SE BND-L34 Oreo 8.0.0 using the method described here : https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3767044

but using my own Mate SE files which are uploaded here (with instructions) :

https://mega.nz/#!jNJH3ZDB!QOrVkBPH2vaRsWURvbxbWHPvwESj4KcaoTkM2e9zpaA

Instructions :

Pre-requisite :

- Unlocked Bootloader for Huawei Mate SE (follow this tutorial : http://www.desinerd.co.in/how-tohuawei-mate-se-bootloader-unlockwindowsmac-linux/)

- Installed TWRP (follow this tutorial : http://www.desinerd.co.in/how-to-huawei-mate-se-root-twrp-recovery/)

Steps :

- Download all the files and put them on your SDCard /sdcard in your Mate SE (credits to Eduardo Alonso)

update.zip

update_data_full_public.zip

update_full_BND-L34_hw_usa.zip

BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img

- Boot into TWRP and go to Advanced > Terminal

Now we do the method (credits to olddroid)

- Type in these commands:

dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2

- If those went well type these as next:

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_full_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_full_BND-L34_hw_usa.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

(Those Arrows (>) and lines (-) are important! Keep them as in command given!)

- If those went well aswell type:

reboot recovery

Would you mind making the instructions seperate from the 2.4 gb download. That way anyone wanting or needing the process but there own files to be used, dont need to download the whole thing.

Plus the linked guide has nougat based no-check recovery, so was your restore done from a messed up oreo install, or prior to the update, meaning you were on nougat when doing this restore?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] syedelec:
You are right, I edited post to have instructions.

That is true that my device was on Nougat when I performed these steps but does the no-check recovery works only on nougat based ?

No , Oreo has different recovery

Oreo has the kernel and ramdisk as two different images. Both for boot and recovery.
