[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Correct, typically there are two ways to go about rooting and/or installing TWRP. Rooting first and then using a flashing app that requires root in order to flash TWRP or flashing TWRP first and then rooting the device using TWRP.

1) the most common way is to flash TWRP first via whatever flashtool/method is compatible with your device and then rooting the device using TWRP to flash SuperSU.zip or Magisk.zip.(Using this method requires having an unlocked bootloader before flashing TWRP. If there is no TWRP for the device in question, this method is not a viable option to root the device)

2) the next most common method is rooting the device first using some kind of app or tool that doesn't require flashing the device such as Kingroot app or some other similar rooting app and then using root access to allow installing TWRP via adb shell, terminal emulator or some other flashing app for android that requires root access such as Flashify, Rashr or TWRP manager or similar flashing app.

There is also the option to root your device using Magisk on PC to create a modified boot.img then flash the boot.img then install the Magisk app/root manager and then flashing TWRP using root access and one of the flashing apps mentioned above to flash TWRP.

There is also the option to only root the device and then not flash TWRP.

The thing is, the only way I think that is working is flashing this pre-rooted firmware, which is not working for me, so BL unlocking is out of the question too.

Stuck because the links don't work as reported above so can't install TWRP and thus install the OS! Any new links?

EDIT : Also thought I would try and least root but as I can't get into fastboot I can't do that either.

Hi I posted a few posts up with problems, sorry for not thanking or responding have been ill a lot. Anyway I can't flash but also confused on the process I have flashed a few phones and tablets before so its not that. Its the exact method for this, I have the file from a few posts above, installed android drivers but can't get into fastboot. I didn't however follow t he front page exactly as the msmdownloadtool part is confusing, for one there is no links and it doesn't make clear exactly what to do.

That maybe the part I am doing wrong, also the wuxianlin page when I click anything seems to ask for a login or something.

Hello,

I first rooted a few months back, on nougat. Installed AdAway and it blocked every ad without trouble. But since I flashed the CRAP build for Oreo, I can't seem to block any ads anymore. I tried both AdAway and Adfree without luck. Both don't block any ads at all.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Chin_hebbar:
Soo here it goes....a few days ago I dropped my phone vertically ie headphone jack side straight to the ground while I was using it(Thanks to my slippery hands) and now the screen has shattered a little on the bottom around the fingerprint area but everything is fine touch works display works its just the glass above it cracked, I went to a local shop nearby (I dont think going to a lenovo service center with a shattered screen will help as it can only shatter my pocket) and they reckoned it to be around 2400rs or 37$ for a 99% copy I guess and 800rs extra or around 50$ for a original one so I did a little research online and found I can get one display with lcd for as low as 19.60$ on alixpress,I'm confused between these three ones this one's 19$ but no customer or seller reviews but with slight fast shipping in just 15-25 days(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32856511836.html), other two are about 24$(One's 23.16$ another is 24.20$)with good rating and orders and normal 30 days shipping (https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32796869178.html)(https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32825740296.html) if you have any other suggestions or experience buying one its most welcome, now coming to the tutorial part this one seems legit the best one I found (https://youtu.be/-osJu7OMxVk)this chinese forum post had one guy do it and posted about 100+ pics while replacing it but now I can't seem to open it anymore :crying: (http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2/t260432/) here too if you get any better ones please suggest also there are a tons of teardown videos too if someone can make me understand lol,I'm a noob when it comes to replacements,teardown things and my first time and I have to make sure not to **** up as I can't buy another phone for at least a year,the post I made is lengthy with every details is because some day someone else will be in the same spot and I hope this post comes to their help too...

Now I need answers to these-

1)Can I do it myself or should I get it done for almost the double price considering this will be my first time doing this.

2)The best choice among the lcd+digitalizer according to you

3)A suitable tutorial to do it myself at home

Get only the glass replaced by a professional, no need to change the display. It'll cost less than ₹1,000
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] vuckovic_stefan:
IF its possible change only digitizer

But that operation cannot be done without special tools for heating etc, putting back can be tricky

As for buying new screen, see if you can find on your local advertising sites some Z2 with dead motherboard

Original is always best

If you buy from Ali, buy the most expensive one because those cheaper can destroy your experience with the phone...

Read feedback always on Ali

I haven't tried to even dissemble any mobile yet so replacing just the digitalizer as said by many is too hard without the required tools and I have none of them I'll try asking any professional once again if not I have to go for aliexpress for the lcd and digitalizer as it can done at home
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] vuckovic_stefan:
Also be aware of the fingerprint scanner. I think that should he also disassembled, or ask seller does it have fingerprint scanner with lcd... Read about that

If you don't have experience, I would say go with the service center. Opening this phone can be tricky.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Shiro744760:
Hey everyone,

Earlier today I was able to successfully root my Essential Ph-1 running Oreo 8.1, using Magisk and twrp-mata_11.img . Later on I tried to install Xposed framework, but found myself caught in a bootloop, when the flashed TWRP did not recognized my phone PIN and I tried to reboot the system and take the PIN out. I am able to access the bootloader and use the TWRP when I flash it, and that's it.

I do realize that it fixing it is not really a complex process, but I have been having trouble with flashing with fastboot. Every command I try to run ends up in failure, except the "fastboot devices" one. For example, when I tried to run the "fastboot -w" command, I received the following:

"wiping userdata...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

Can't determine partition type.

FAILED (command write failed (No error))

erasing 'userdata'...

FAILED (command write failed (No error))".

And all others commands showed the "FAILED (command write failed (No error))" message, including when I tried to run the "flash all" file as system admin.

Also, I have only tried to do it in Windows, to no avail, while I am still inexperienced with Linux and cannot connect fastboot to my device.

This is not the first time that I have rooted the device, I did it twice a couple months ago but lost the root because of updates. The difference is that I used my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller cable, which for some reason was the cable that worked the best, instead of the phone's factory cable with a Syntech USB - C to USB adaptor. this time. I found out later on that this cable had issues with this kind of process.

Also, when flashing TWRP in my oldest attempt at rooting, I got the message "system mount fail" when installing the magisk zip, but it never progressed beyond that and my at-the-time rooted phone worked perfectly.

This is my first Android phone after years of Apple(also my first thread here), and I have been excited and experimenting with it a lot, though I've only had it for less than 3 months. I would be really grateful if you guys could help me.

Thank you for the collaboration.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] avd:
Make sure you have a good cable and good fastboot in your computer
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Shiro744760:
So I was able to pass through some problems from before, but one still persists. When I run the command "fastboot flash-all" on my command prompt, it shows all the options for fastboot, while only "flash-all" shows that there is no such command. I have also tried "fastboot flashall", but that shows the message:

error: neither -p product specified nor ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set.

Sorry, I know this is not the fastboot thread, but I'm really lost here.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nathris:
flash-all is a batch/script file, its not a fastboot command. You simply need to run on Windows

.\flash-all.bat

or Linux/MacOS

./flash-all.sh

Just open up a terminal/command prompt, type flash and then hit tab and it will autocomplete the full path.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] skg76:
Hi, i tried flashing galaxy a5 2017 from 7.0 to 6.0.1, the flash failed and the phone became stuck in download mode, odin stopped detecting it and wouldn't restart, totally unresponsive. I got the back off and unplugged the battery and back in so i could restart it but it wouldn't restart, no response at all.

When i plug it in socket or pc it starts charging with the circle and % on screen and when the screen dims it lights back up when pressing home and either volume but not power. Also when plugged into pc odin detects the phone and allows the adding of the roms but gets stuck on setupconnection.

I've tried recovery like power and volume down for 10-15 seconds and nothing, tried safe mode and downloading mode, every combination i could find. The firmware i got was from updato which is A520FXXU1APLL VOD United Kingdom (Vodafone). I'm in the uk.

There's no damage to the power button.

Any help please?

[HTC Excalibur] SirKeats:
Just thought I'd share...

The images you need to access/edit for the keypad replace (or whatever you want to call it where you get the standard phone key images when you're dialing and/or on a call) are as follows:

cprogback_land.png

and

ms_mobile.gif

Both located in the /windows dir.

The ms_mobile.gif file is 240 wide for some reason, so unless you want it to distort you key image you'll wanna widen it to 320.

These filenames are different from in the wm6 rom so I thought I'd share and save others the trouble of searching for them as I did!

EDIT:

I've managed to fix 1080p and 4K recording with the module on MIUI 9. The only problem remain is that 60 fps videos are darker than stock camera's 30 fps videos. And with my fix, the stock camera's 30 fps 1080p videos also are getting dark like Gcam's 60 fps videos. Maybe it can be fixed with your lib editing.

And with your module, 60 fps video's stabilization is really great. :laugh: Thanks for your great work.. Hope the darkening problem will be fixed soon.. :)
