Hi, viper98!

Just got my PH-1 and 360 camera today, have all system (Android 8.1 with April security patch) and camera app updates (4 MAY) and Firmware update for 360 camera. Same problem here. The LED indicator on the back of the camera almost always blue, works intermittently.

Did your problem get solved?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
Any updates on this? Happening to me too.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dirtsky:
I've had my PH-1 for a better part of 4 months and have the latest security patch. I would perform an update to the latest and see where it goes. I've not had any issues with mine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
Already updated to all the latest versions.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] prabs99:
Yeah same here. I have emailed Essential support. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
Anyone have any success fixing this?

Has essential support been any help?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] prabs99:
Essential sent me a replacement, but the camera came on the first time, but after an update, it stopped working.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
Almost exactly what happened to me. Update seems to disable camera from working.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] prabs99:
Sent another email to Essential. We will see what happens.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
FYI Updated to android 9.0 pie and symptoms are the same.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Borghi:
Just tested mine on Pie 9.0. Works fine, same as 8.0.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dirtyreturn:
I had/have the same issue. Just a bit of persistence and a reboot(s) and it functions properly.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] prabs99:
They are going to send a replacement phone.

Are you rooted?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dirtyreturn:
Yeah, I am.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] z00mantwo:
Okay. Essential replaced my camera and everything is working now. One thing they suggested was the first time I connect the 360 camera be in safe mode to prevent anything interfering with the software update to the camera. I did that and it updated without any issues and works great now. I'm on the release version of Android pie.

Hi.

I have two HTC M9+ phones, one is the rose gold type and the other is gunmetal, details below:

rose gold

(bootloader) kernel: lk

(bootloader) product: htc_hiau_ml_tuhl

(bootloader) version: 1.0

(bootloader) imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(bootloader) version-baseband: READ version-baseband ERROR

gunmetal

(bootloader) kernel: lk

(bootloader) product: htc_hiau_ml_tuhl

(bootloader) version: 1.0

(bootloader) imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(bootloader) version-main: 2.27.401.1

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.01.0000

(bootloader) mid: 0PK711000

(bootloader) cid: HTC__J15

On the gunmetal one I installed TWRP and rooted it, but being a noob I didn't fully update it first and now I can't take an OTA. My whole approach was wrong I think. I'd like to get the gun metal one back to stock and start again and was wondering if I could use the working one to do so. I did a lot of research trying various ways to back up the working phone:

Trying to boot CWM via fastboot boot so I could create a backup. Apparently this won't work on this phone.

Trying MTKDroidTools / SPFlash, but it seems the MTK6795 isn't supported with those tools

Using ADB to backup, but since my phone is not rooted it will not work. From what I understand if the phone is rooted and/or the root partition was mounted read/write you won't be able to take an OTA so this method wont work either.

Is there another method I am missing where I could backup my entire working phone to flash the one I messed up? I know RUU is a possibility but I'd really like to go this route instead as all most of the locations to download RUU's seem a bit sketchy. Should I even be concerned with this if I can find a signed RUU?

THanks for any help.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Good day to everyone! I wish to provide proper steps on how to install the latest Oreo custom ROMs via TWRP in order to lessen the clutter in the custom ROM threads.

You'll need the following:

Latest TWRP Official (Fastboot TWRP)

Latest TWRP Installer (PERMANENT TWRP)

Considering you already installed TWRP via fastboot, we'll make it so that it will be permanently installed and you will not need to flash TWRP via bootloader again.

Download ROM + GApps (or no gapps if Pixel Experience)

Reboot to latest Official TWRP

Do necessary wipes (FORMAT data if having storage number issue; if not, wipe system/data/cache) then transfer ROM + gapps + magisk to internal/external storage

Flash ROM (don't reboot)

Flash latest TWRP Installer (for Permanent TWRP)

Reboot recovery (no need to transfer slots anymore as TWRP does it automatically)

Flash Gapps + Magisk

Reboot to system

To DIRTY FLASH or update the same ROM with an updated version

Reboot to recovery

Flash ROM

Flash TWRP Installer

Reboot recovery

Flash Gapps + Magisk

Reboot to system

For installing custom kernels

Download custom kernel

Reboot recovery

Flash custom kernel

Reboot to system

All of these has been tried and tested by me already. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sikoo1996:
Hey , where to flash rom??

As you have written gapps + magisk , gapps + magisk twice
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
I don't know what you mean. Read it again but slowly.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkbhanwariya:
thnx man.

please add instructions to flash twrp permanent or share link.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] dceamit46:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Guys, TWRP Installer IS the Permanent TWRP. That's why you need to flash it every time after flashing custom ROMs. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkbhanwariya:
thanks mate now ROM flashing seems very easy :D:o
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
You're welcome! Good luck in switching ROMs! :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gunmanrishi:
I really want to thank you for putting this up. Its immensely helpful and once again you are best at what you do.

You're more than welcome and I'm always more than glad to help out the community. :highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] madhpharma:
With custom ROMs we have to install Twrp installer every time along with ROM zip, bit awkward.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kopitalk:
Is it just me but every time I flash twrp after flashing rom, I got error 20 when flashing gapps. Here's my steps:

- flash rom

- switch partition

- flash twrp

- reboot recovery (or bootloader then flashboot recovery)

- flash gapps -> error 20

Without flashing twrp permanent, I can flash gapps, no error.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Yep. That's because the ROM being flashed overwrites the recovery since there's no recovery partition.

Did you flash the TWRP.img or TWRP Installer.zip in TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kopitalk:
Twrp installer, to be exact Twrp-recoveryInstaller-3.2.1-2-oreo.zip
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] cherryb8844:
If we need to flash it every time after flash rom so how it's called permanent TWRP I don't understand. That because our device don't have recovery partition? If that so where this TWRP installed ( in which partition)?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
It's called permanent twrp because it won't get replaced by built in recovery whenever you reboot to recovery from system. TWRP gets installed within a part of the system partition.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
Error 20 if I'm not wrong, means you are using the wrong gapps package.

Are you using the right one?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kopitalk:
Yes, I certainly use the right one (8.1), that's why I was baffled when twrp says that my device is 7.1.2 every time I tried to flash the 8.1 gapps. Anyway, flashing rom then straightaway followed by gapps and magisk was fine. I can flash twrp installer later on. But I just don't understand why.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Well that's weird. Works for me by flashing Gapps and Magisk after rebooting to recovery since it switches slots when you do that. Did you possibly come from a Nougat ROM which is why that's the error showing up?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kopitalk:
I was thinking of that too but no, I was on Oreo Jan built the first time I rooted the phone and flash LOS15.1. Do you think I should at least flash Oreo stock once? Maybe my bootloader is still Nougat :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
Tbh yes I think you need to flash the whole Oreo firmware via Mi Flash Tool at least one time to make sure everything is Oreo based on your device.

I am planning to Install Custom rom so I need to install temporary recovery via fastboot but everytime I try to run the file i downloaded from OP I get an error "no such file or directory" on windows powershell. Can anyone tell me what could possibly be wrong?

Hello guys!

I have a Zenfone 2 Laser (ze550kl) with internal 8gb, but after installing some custom roms, I noticed that the system only recognizes 4gb.

Could someone give me a light to solve this problem ...

If they could also indicate a more stable rom than Cyanogenmod 13 (cm-13.0-20161221) for this device would also help a lot.

Thank you very much,

Hi all,

Been searching all day but can't find a successful method to root the new BLU Vivo X just release a few weeks ago. Every method tried, including one from what appears to be a fake article, failed. No one-click method works and can't find any other advanced method anywhere.

Perhaps the phone is too new or not much in terms of popularity, but would like to know if there is or will be a way to root this phone in the near future?

Thank you much,

--mike
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
I had this same phone, and failed to find a root method, so i returned it.

I did find it will flash the full firmware (although loosing IMEI) from a clone device (or i should say the vivo is the clone)Gionee sw017w08.

And. There is full factory firmware available too.

You need a download agent from gionee and an authorization file to flash.

Both are in a special skinned sp-flash tool from gionee.

I have a link to needrom page that has both Gionee firmware and Gionee tool.

But xda do not allow needrom links.

Will update with links when i can transfer files to androidfile host.

If there is any interest
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pookieguy:
Thank you!

Hi mrmazak,

Would like to thank you for the reply and willingness to help. At this point, like yourself, I decided I will be returning this phone as well. I cannot own an Android phone without root. Must have it! :)

Anyways,

After another extensive search online, I found a phone to get me by for now till the next Samsung phone. The Honor 7x. This one appears it can be easily rooted without issues, even with TWRP recovery. I prefer that. Besides, the specs on this phone seem much better, especially when it comes to the screen. Don't really like the screen on the Vivo X. Rather have the full HD screen while still having the dual camera setup.

Thanks again. Much appreciated. :good:

--mike
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtaber:
Would love a root for the vivo class, but on the other hand, there is next to NO bloatware on it, other than the Google play crap, a couple of apps that came installed on the phone, but allowed me to uninstall them. All I really wanted anyway is stock rooted, no real desire for custom ROMs, so I'm happy to wait until we get a root for it. Can't beat the price, and performance seems to be good. I don't root, just for the sake of rooting, did that back before 2013, but now I just want it to work and do what I want, which the vivo can do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchlbenner:
Root

Rooting should not be hard.

Make sure you have adb working.

Install USB drivers ect.

Download magisk.

Unlock bootloader.

Go development setting's tap like 7 times.

Enable OEM unlocking.

Install magisk choose to patch kernel.

You have to figure out how to unlock bootloader.

After unlocked.

Fastboot flash boot.img.

Make sure you get a hold of unpatch kernel.

To unroot ect.

If rooting works track down the twrp maker.

And let them make twrp for your device.

This phone is booloader locked down!

Bad for devs well blu has joined the ranking not to buy from.

Blu phones will blacklisted not to buy from.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Misaka_10032:
I recently switched from my Galaxy S7 Edge to a Verizon S9 plus. I have noticed my Youtube app is defaulting to 480P under all kinds of situation, including different wifi and mobile data.

I have the youtube app limit mobile data option off, I reached out to youtube help and support, and they could not figure out why.

I tested my Nexus 6P, S7 Edge and a iPhone 6s, all running on latest youtube app, none of them suffer from this problem, they all defaults to auto on the same wifi network.

Is there some setting I missed on the S9+ limiting the performance?

I can press the 3 dots on each video and change manually, but I just wonder of there is an option to avoid doing this...just being lazy.

Thanks guys.

Anyone tried to dump full ROM with all tweaks and apps? I'm cooking new ROM, from my dumped original ROM and done almost everything, but for some problems could not include few registry tweaks I did in Kaiser. It would be nice to dump ROM with all that settings and apps, instead of creating new OEM packets. Is it possible? I didn't find any info about that. Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Have you read the reconstructing ROMs thread? Your question belongs there and your answer may already be there.

In the future, please read the sticky and wiki before posting and reply to existing threads to help keep this forum clean. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M@ster:
Thx for your reply m8, but I thought I read almost anything on this forum but didn't find what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, but I didn't come here yesterday. I never ask questions about anything what I didn't search by myself everywhere, not only at xda-developers, what u can see from my threads.

I cooked many ROMs for Kaiser, and few years before I was at MIO forum and done many customization for A701 ROMs and all that is nothing new to me. I dumped my Kaiser ROM but didn't find solution for dumping full ROM with apps and tweaks.

Call be blind but I couldn't find solution. Sorry for long post but I had to explain the situation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
to dump a full rom including all apps and most tweaks are just reg entries use the IMGFS tools that Taz made its all in the Wiki for the kaiser and also the Hermes since thats where it all started if you want to go oldschool.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M@ster:
Big thx, I'll try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Just mentioning that it would be more helpful for everyone else if you were to reply to an existing thread that's already in the wiki and sticky, especially if you have an on topic problem that doesn't have a solution. If/when you find an answer, it will be next to impossible for the next person to find this thread, amongst all the redundant threads of this nature.

So if you want to help others as Austinsnyc has helped you, you can add this thread to the wiki :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M@ster:
Of course, when I take the time I will try to dump full ROM and after that all procedure with description I will add to wiki.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Dark5tar:
I just noticed today that there's some clouding/image retention on my 4 days old Samsung Galaxy S9+!!

It's only visible under dark environment and only in the "Unlock" screen (when it dims the brightness). To replicate this, make sure you have a darkesh plain wallpaper with one of the security locks turned on (pin, pattern, iris, or face), swipe the screen to show the chosen unlock method. This is when you can spot the clouding/image retention/burn-in on the top status bar. This problem appears to correlate directly to the status icons (time, notifications and carrier name).

Another colleague of mine has a S9, and it has the same problem! The phone shown on the photo is actually his, but mine exhibits the exact same problem. See attached photos.

Does anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] raksan:
I see it on mine too, but that's not the image retention or burn in. It's too early to get burn in only after using it for a few days. I think it's just the software try to blur the status bar icons. You can try display different thing on it and the blurry white cloud will display.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] raducanmihai:
I see this on mine also, but raksan is correct: it is just software blurring to hide the icons.

Try this: play a YT video in 16:9 ratio. Don't expand it to the whole screen and leave the black bars. You'll see that there is no burn-in/image retention on those black bars.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Dark5tar:
You'r right! I actually panicked earlier and called Samsung Support to report it to them. Disaster avoided. Thanks man. FYI, i'm Khmer a well :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] raksan:
You're welcome! Nice to see you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Serfrost:
They should probably just hide the icons instead of pseudo hiding them and freaking customers out though. I bet they'll get enough calls over time where they'll push a small update. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] whbisondtr:
This is on mine as well but not just the task bar but the navigation bar as well. Still just the software?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] whbisondtr:
Nope, it's burned in which is bs. I switched the nav bar directions and the back and recent buttons are still showing where they were in the burn. If it were ghosting then they should've switched as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Then you must leave your screen on 24/7 and never turn it off. If you don't, then it's not going to burn-in that quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] whbisondtr:
Well I don't and it did. I'm not going to complain about something if it were my fault. And I can see things around here haven't changed....
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
No I guess they haven't changed, there are still people posting on here that complain, point fingers, and immediately put blame on the hardware.
