Bootloader failed to flash, first thing I noticed. I new then it would not lock my bootloader. Back to sqaure one.

Error: preflash validation failure. I believe this is because not signed firmware, had this problem with my g5 plus.

I know understand why this guide does not work for me, my Z2P was on the new october security level patch when I unlocked it. There is no firmware files with high enough security level so in bootloader I get, downgrade security error when trying to lock.

Hm, I'm running RR with the September 2018 security patch, would that be a problem (since the stock ROM from the OP only features the February 2018 security patch)?

Can I flash a factory image through fastboot?

I have an unlocked bootloader and i found a factory image of albus which state that it works on Indian model too

So i have a doubt should I flash the factory image through fastboot?

and is it riskier of flashing factory image?

yours faithfully a moto user!

thankyou! i am waiting for a solution.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] joefuf:
Are you saying it is possible to flash just an img of the OTA update via fastboot? I've been sitting on the November 2017 update since I unlocked my bootloader last year. Been curious about finding a way to get some updates, but this OS works fine for me and has good battery, so I haven't been overly tempted to mess anything up.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Astorias9:
Theoricaly its possible, but you need the fastboot flashable update and its kinda hard finding it.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] joefuf:
Then the best possible method is to relock the bootloader, I take it? That's probably not something I want to risk for my daily driver.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] znel52:
So I just recently flashed a build of DU to my phone and when I say 'Hey Google' the phone vibrates to prompt me that the command was understood and it is ready to listen. On stock it always would beep instead of vibrating when I did this. I prefer the beep cause if I am not near my phone I know it is ready for a command. Is there anyway to change this? I've looked through all the settings I can think of and can't seem to find anything to change it. I'm probably just overlooking it. Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ahent:
If you turn on any accessibility option in setting you will get it back. Sadly this is the direction google has gone with assistant. There are huge threads on this since you can't tell if the phone is ready if you don't look at it (like in your car). Many people are irritated by this and google has pretty much told us all to take a jump.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudos1uk:
Hope someone can help with some ideas, im really lost how to fix this now.

I have my S4 on the latest stock 5.0.1 Lollipop which is rooted with CFAutoRoot.

I9505XXUHQK1 (edit: Samsung international update 2017 - only installed in a hope to cure the problem in Feb 2018 but made no difference)

Since about last October I have a problem booting about once every 6 weeks, basically it runs great then something starts acting up like you get with all phone, so I do a restart to get things running smoothly again.

It goes through the splash screen no problem, I get the music and it stats booting with the colourful samsung logo with fireworks behind but it just sticks there forever and won't finish a boot, I notice when I get a good boot there is a vibration as it finishes, this vibration never comes when it fails.

The first time, I put changed the recovery to (twrp-3.2.1-0-jfltexx) thinking next time it would be easy wipe the cache and dalvik/art and get it booted, using twrp to clear the cache and dalvik/art did not help so I was forced to reset it again.

Next I noted there was an unexpected update to the S4 from Samsung, I thought applying this update might help things so went ahead and installed it giving my phone all the latest security updates etc, but again the same happened a few weeks later.

Here post 979 (Bootloader, Modem & kernel): https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-untouched-stock-rom-t3419034/post75164948

I then decided after another painful reset I would keep a weekly Nandroid backup so I could at least get it up and running again quickly.

Last week it failed again, this time I the data icon light would not turn off without clicking through and unticking the checkbox, even then with the data off the green light was on in notification, so a restart and as expected a freeze....

This time I had my Nandroid backup and I had a fresh(ish) Titanium Backup and has backed up my texts and call lists via Samsung so after an hour it was all backup and normal and this time only lost a few days texts and call logs.

Really i'm in a situation where all I can be is spend my life being prepared to restore my phone with good backups but completely unable to prevent it.

My only thought is there must be an app that is playing up during boot, but how do I identify it, the symptoms are never the same (except the boot freeze), no apps are showing high battery use and my battery usage is great, I have hardly used today but it's been off charge since 9am (its now 3.20pm) with 82% left and estimating 27 hours more usage.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or any tips on how to identify the problem, I would rather spend time fixing it that spend my time preparing for an inevitable recovery.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Edit: Just for info, I regularly reboot it to do a Nandroid backup and it restarts just fine, just fails about once every 6 weeks or so.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooltt:
I9505XXUHQK1 is meant for branded Greek and German networks only, if your device is unlocked international you will experience problems, especially at boot as it looks to load the branded stuff. Eventually it will give up and just boot.

Although this last update looks all sexy, it's almost identical to XXUHKP2 just a newer security patch and a few minor changes, really not worth the hassle of getting it (or the problems your having).

I believe the latest "MachineX" ROM is built off this firmware which has the branding stuff removed and also links to the correct XXUHQK1 boot loader. Have a look in the ROM section.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudos1uk:
Thank you but the I9505XXUHQK1 update is not the issue, the problems started months before this update

I can easily revert this but it is really not the cause of the issues.

are you sure about I9505XXUHQK1? XXU is international unbranded is it not?

XXU= international

H=5.0.1

Q=2017

K=November

1=version 1

Refference:

Also:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooltt:
OK i'll try explain

XXU can mean international as in 2 different branded networks in different countries or regions, understand? Also In with that firmware are the csc codes for the country you;re in, detected off the SIM at start up, sometimes the correct csc codes are loaded sometimes they're not and then you get stuck on boot. This why you should only flash firmware which is device AND region specific.

Anyway, flash XXUHKP2, run it for a few weeks with frequent restarts, if no boot loops then you have your answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudos1uk:
Thanks but it wont make any difference, I had that for months and was on the phone when this all started, I did several resets and an odin reflash of XXUHKP2 but still had the problem, I only flashed XXUHQK1 a month ago in a last ditch hope it might cure the issue but I have had one boot problem since I installed it.

Both XXUHKP2 & XXUHQK1 behave exactly the same, they work for weeks with no issue, I can reboot as many times as I like without a problem then all of a sudden something will start playing up on the phone (start running slow or unable to turn off data etc) and the restart freezes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudos1uk:
You don't need to explain anything XXUHKP2 and XXUHQK1 are both international and will work in almost any country that's what XXU means, not a couple of regions or countries, I don't think Samsung have this classification.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudos1uk:
More information, had problems overnight last night.

During the night I was woken by the phone restarting, I looked at it and it was in the middle of preparing all my apps, this normally only happens after a wipe, I left the phone and went to sleep.

I woke this morning to find the phone restarted and asking for my sim pin, my happiness was soon gone as it then asked my which launcher to use and only listed the two Touchwiz, Google Now which I normally use wa not listed. I chose Touchwiz full but after a few second the phone went into a soft reboot loop (not asking for a sim pin).

I did my last nandroid 4 days ago, so I set that going but it failed right at the end with error 255, next I tried an old nandroid I have used twice before but it failed in the same way. Next I did a file system check and restore and reformat (saves personal files), still error 255. Next I reformatted the data partition as a full reformat (this TWRP method deletes personal files) and finally the latest nandroid ran without problems and I'm up and running.

There must have been something wrong with my internal personal files which TWRP was trying to preserve. I actually keep very little on my internal as everything is stored on my external sd.

All this is making me start to think my internal storage may be beginning to fail, on the other hand TWRP check and repair did not find any problems, still at a complete loss what the problem is and every time the issue is slightly different but always points at data corruption causing the bootloop.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Honor 9 STF-AL00, build: STF-AL00C00B201.

As it is the chinese version, can anyone tell me the difference between it and the european version? Is it only software?

I would like to know if I can stay with the chinese version r if it is necessary to install the european firmware, because i read that some users bricked their phones when rebranding from chinese to european.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! thanx!

I've been notified of an update to STF-AL00 8.0.0.336 (C00) few days ago. I did not update yet because I was not sure if it would be possible to rebrand it after that.

I've also installed GMS yesterday from a chinese site. I did not log in my gmail account yet.

Which choice is better: rebrand or stay under the chinese version?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] oslo83:
Rebranding from chinese to european ;

HUAWEI THEME STORE

Pros:

-access to chinese region huawei themes and wallpaper database. There is a lot more of themes in chinese store than on 'balance' europeean store. But on chinese store, some of these extra themes are sold.

Cons:

-may need a chinese huawei account which need a chinese +86 phone number to validate and use a chinese huawei account.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] noahthedominator:
I also used to own a 5T and just sold it for a Xiaomi mi mix 2s.

As someone who LOVES stock android, Oxygen OS will always be my favorite mobile OS. After owning 3 different OnePlus Devices, it was hard to go for a Xiaomi....

But the Mi mix 2s has been an AWESOME device so far. Battery life is on par with my 5t. The screen is incredible , the no bezel design is beautiful and I think it is best done on the Mi mix 2s. ( I hate notches). Although it is not amoled, the screen is very good and it works great. MIUI is not as snappy as Oxygen OS, but its still light years ahead of touchwiz and Crapsung experience.

I personally really like wireless charging, and its nice to have it on the Mi Mix 2s. The phone design is my all time favorite. I love the weight of the ceramic and It is hands down the best looking device I have ever seen. However not having a headphone jack is absolute ****.....Dont get me started on that.

The back 2 cameras are stellar and its the main reason I went with the Mi Mix 2s.... As someone who rarely uses the front camera, the quality is really good for a 5mp shooter, but if you are someone who uses it a lot, this phone might not be for you....

Overall, if you can find it for $500usd or less, I think this is the best phone for the price on the market. :good:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] xumixu:
down grade then to a previous one

---

If only the bezzel (with the front camera) would be on top, it would be a great phone.

I usually give goog things for granted so focusing on the bad:

bottom selfie camera

shiny-way-too-slippery ceramic back (would love a mate version)

no widevine L1 support

no microSD

no 3.5 jack

About the last two dont care so much since i have bluetooth earphones and got an OTG flashdrive (couldnt get the 128 GB version cause out of stock).

ceramic and widevine are not so bad but the selfie camera just kills it. Is such a hazzle to use. if you use it as is you get a massive neck/chin resulting in an awful perspective, and if you rotate the phone say bye to fingerprint shutter and forget whatsapp video call.

Just as someone said before, like it, yeah, love it, NOPE
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ninikninik:
Yep, I needed to to that several times before to be connected before discovered that this was broken in early 2019 ROMs.

Phone with regular OTA updates and stable official ROM is just unusable, that forced me to unlock and flash. It's shame to brake main functionality of device :/ You can't expect from users to force them to flash phone. You should not force them to use old ROM to make or receive call.

I replaced my old phone to get decent camera, speed and B20 connectivity, but was sure to still have basic gsm, bt and wifi fuctionalities. Yep, cam was not broken :P
