[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigviar:
Nexus 6p 128gb, latest PN7.1 rom, carrier is project Fi. Working fine as is but I'd like to try out 8.1. Plus, I can never get file transfer mode to work, irregardless of what does or does not install below.

I can't get the drivers working properly on my windows 7 pc. On two different machines.

What I've tried...

A. First uninstalling any /all android drivers via device manager as many guides suggest.

B. Plugging in with debugging off. Drivers installed but not adb.

C. Plugging in with debugging on, all drivers fail to install.

D. Installing via the sdk. Still tries to install the drivers and fails when I plug the phone in.

E. Installing the drivers via the Google provided USB drivers file. YES the authentic ones. Windows won't even recognize those. When I point the drivers installer to the folder where I unzipped them, it just says it can't find any drivers.

Is there any chance I could have jacked something up in the phone whilst screwing around with twrp, xposed, Magisk, etc in the past? Maybe a bad vendor image or something? Please help. This is making me insane.

Try a different Usb cabel sounds like the one your using is faulty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigviar:
Problem somewhat solved. It wasn't the cable. Something was screwed up in the works. I did a factory reset and got it to work on one of the two PC's I was working with. After that I was able to identify the phone with fastboot and do what I needed.

I forgot to include the fact that I was working with multiple cables because I had the same thought. I was using

1. Inatek 3.1 Gen2 cable

2. HI-CABLE

3. That stock little 8 inch cable that came with the phone.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] seethahere:
Hi

How do we connect the v30+ to an LCD projector? [wired-casting, i guess]

I have this USB-C to VGA adapter cable which i am trying to use. As soon as i plug it in, a small pop-up message comes up at the bottom saying "secondary screen connected"... But nothing happens after that - i mean the projector screen does not show the phone screen. The USB plugged-in choices show the usual charge-only/file-transfer options only, no new option regarding the screen-casting or secondary screen

If i unplug the cable, i get a similar pop-up saying "secondary screen disconnected".

I have searched through the display (and other) settings - i am not able to find anything related to this. Googling didnt turn up with anything either... except for one reddit post which still remains unanswered

Can you guys help out on this please...

--

Edit: It is not a cable issue - the same cable & projector works perfect when i plug in a s8+ phone - not even any pop-up on the phone - the projector screen just mirrors the phone screen.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Zoombaya:
Do you have developer mode enabled? Maybe there are some extra USB options for what you want to do?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] seethahere:
Thanks for the efforts

Yes, i have developer options enabled... there are actually a few more usb options that i didnt mention when i typed the first msg - but none related to the so-called "secondary display" that the phone tells me it is connected to.

--

I'm actually wondering why nearly NOBODY is talking about this highly desirable feature in a phone - casting your screen to an audience through a projector.

Are we keeping quiet becoz the v30 doesnt have it??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Zoombaya:
I just googled this topic a bit and you're right, there's nothing there. Only relevant info I found was where somebody tried to connect a G6 to LG's own 5K TV(!!) via hdmi and they couldn't get it to work, because G6 doesn't support Slimport protocol or something like that. So if G6 doesn't support it, then most likely the V30 doesn't either, and the only way is wireless casting. That's mind boggling, really. And stupid. And downright mean. G6 and V30 being marketed as ultimate media phones and then this.

Samsung, on the other hand, brought back wired casting support in S8. The S7 didn't have it as far as I understand.

I wonder if Oreo update will support it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] seethahere:
That reddit post i mentioned is here . Give it a look. There is mention about the older MHL and the newer Slimport - which the S8+ has and the V30 doesnt [or does it? ... I mean - THAT is the original question here]

It mentions about an youtube video where someone seems to be shown connecting a v30 to a PC through usb-c to hdmi cable

Couple of such working cables have been mentioned - one here and another BlackWeb BWA14HO0002

--

The added problem for me is that most projectors here work with the good ol' 15-pin VGA connector... so, i'm gonna need to buy a HDMI-VGA converter (this i can buy easily though). But overall, i am weary of spending money for a feature which is NOWHERE mentioned for sure in official user manuals and the like.

--

and oh, someone suggested me to check out one MHL Checker app from playstore ... i did. But i still cant figure out if the answer is a yes or no... it gives some weird thing like "the mobile can support MHL(HDMI). You don't use the MHL(HDMI)"... whatever that means
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Uncle Andy:
MHL/V30

Hi,

1) The MHL Checker app is telling you that the phone DOES have MHL output but you didn't have your cable plugged in (at that moment).

2) The info from Reddit is wrong.....the poster mistyped it. The cable he's referring to is a "BlackWeb BWA17HO0002"...and it doesn't work for my V30 (which HAS the Oreo update)..

I also tested a USB-C to DVI adapter on my old Dell monitor. It also worked but disconnected and reconnected a few times, almost like the connection was easily disrupted if the cable was moved around. If I held it still it seemed to hold connection just fine.

Cheap USBC->HDMI+USB works for me

*Hello zombie thread*

I tried a cheap (AUD$14) USB-C to HDMI+USB3+(USB-C power in) hub, and it works. To the USB port I attach an unpowered USB3 hub with keyboard and mouse, and am outputting HDMI to monitor. All 3 peripherals work simultaneously.

I do have to plug the HDMI into the hub before I plug the hub into the phone. Otherwise no external monitor detected.

[Fire General] gabosius:
After a bit of playing around the system have found quite a few easter eggs/secret codes inside system APKs of the fire tablets, these code were discovered on Amazon Fire 7 7th gen, but should work on other tablets as well.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any bricks, it is up to you to run these commands, but keep in mind that running some of the commands might require you to perform hard reset afterwards.

commands discovered under com.amazon.kor.demo/smali/com/amazon/kor/demo/receiver/SearchCommandBroadcastReceiver.smali:

;demo - demo menu

;enter_demo - alternative demo menu

;exit_demo - alternative demo menu

In most cases running and completing above commands will result in an error, hard reset is required to resolve issues, but there is some success reported by DragonFire1024 when wi-fi is enabled on the device.

commands discovered under

com.amazon.kindle.unifiedSearch/smali/com/amazon/kindle/unifiedSearch/easteregg/EasterEggManager.smali:

;dx - Middleware Debugging tool (com.amazon.dcp).

;usdisablegamma - works only in Devo?

;usenablegamma - works only in Devo?

;oobe - factory reset, similar to shpm.

;usdisableperf - works only in Devo?

;usenableperf - works only in Devo?

;sclnm - ??

;shpm - enter shipmode.

commands discovered under

ReadyNowCore-release/smali/com/amazon/readynowcore/ReadyNowExternalReceiver.smali:

;rn - ReadyNow logging to logcat
[Fire General] gabosius:
The finding itself does not lead into anything like root or similar for non rootable amazon devices. However, after spending quite a lot of time looking through the applications I came to an idea that some of these easter egg codes could be modified on rooted devices (and adb pushed) and might lead to something such as bootloader unlock (unlikely though) or maybe discovery of a vulnerability for currently non rootable devices which would allow to root them.

Application of particular interest for such would be com.amazon.device.settings or RemoteSettingsAndroid, which according to its source code should allow switching between different device configurations (Devo, Prod, PreProd) and even might be used to allow firmware downgrades.

But as of the time of this writing it was not possible to kickstart some of the internal Amazon activities due to permission related issues and com.amazon.dcp or Amazon Middleware Debugging Tool was one of them (which requires display ota status and display debug UI permissions), but with the use of easter eggs it was possible to start com.amazon.dcp, so it should possible to start apps such as com.amazon.device.settings and maybe even kick the device into Devo mode, which might allow to do something more.

But as I do not have rootable amazon device maybe someone else would be willing to test the idea.

I don't think an apk can unlock the bootloader. It can't.

@steadfasterX - Cannot flash Stock Rom or/and flash Custom Recovery [LG "H815 20o"]

Hi all,

I got a "H815 20o" (refurbished from aliexpress), with a stock rom that I cannot flash (using both LGUP and Flashtool), I tried TOT and KDZ files ("H815 20o" version) without any success.

Since got it, the phone displays all the time the "Unfortunatly, Camera has stopped" and "Unfortunatly, Contact has stopped", and the dialer cannot be used when checking the voicemail.

And best thing : more recently, I can't access Sim card because "Network is locked", so no internet data now.

I want to flash the device with any LP 5.1 or MM 6.0 ((or even Nougat 7.1) stock rom because I cannot access Fasboot command with Abd and Fastboot tools.

My first goal was indeed to install/flash a Custom Revovery (TWRP) with Fatsboot, but I discovered that the bootloader is locked (and ticking "Enable Oem unlock" in device Developer mode doesn't work, it has no effects).

On Windows, Adb can only see the device as "LGH811xxxxxxxx", which is strange for a H815 model, and the device cannot Fastboot access.

I saw steadfasterX's topic here >

https://xdaforums.com/sho...63&postcount=3

After seeing this topic and checking my ARB (phone dialer), I saw that my device is version "3".

And i noticed that it quite matched with this line on this topic :

"H811 20o = v3 (report)"

According to the topic, H815 20o with "v3" should normally not exist, right? So looks like my device match with a H811 model...?

Well, I think the only way to get rid of this "H815 20o" version is to flash it with the right KDZ file.

I've seen this topic with the "H811 20o" KDZ file flashing process and tried it :

https://xdaforums.com/tmo...flash-t3457710

Still no success, flashing tool stuck at 9%, always.

Last thing, I tried to update the software with LG Bridge too (as I saw it solved the issue for some people by allowing them to finally unlock the oem in Developer mode), but without any success too (it always says "your phone is up to date").

Finally...

Do you think my phone is a "H815 20o" or a "H811 20o" ?

What else should I try ?

PS: My specs info are >

Factory version : LGH815AT-00-V20o-GLOBAL-US-JUN-13-2016-ARB03

The ONLY chance to identify Frankenstein devices is written in my faq. Disassembling and viewing the front of the mainboard is the only way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bankai83:
Thanks for the info, I'll do that and dissassemble it.

However, even if I know the right model written on the motherboard, and download the right KDZ file, I will still be stuck at 9% of the KDZ flashing process (LGUP). That because of the ARB version 3 inside the bootloader will still not allow the flash. Correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Well. actually it's hard to say how to handle Frankenstein devices that's why it is so important to see what your mainboard really is.

It's maybe a complete other model then you think which is then the reason for the issues on kdz flash.

Does anyone know something about apk "Sport" and its updates?

For example Stratos gets update with soccer and tennis, but the developers dont update the software with new types of sports for Amazfit Pace.

Will Amazfit Pace no longer be upgraded?
[Amazfit] Quinny899:
The Stratos is a new device, it's bound to get more updates. Almost every OEM does this, Samsung isn't going to add all the features from the S9 to the S8 for example.

You probably could install the APK from the Stratos on the Pace with some hackery, but the Stratos has three hardware buttons where the Pace has one, so it won't all work
[Amazfit] chuckiebronco:
Except for the 3 Buttons, the barometer and the better IP class, the watches are basically identical. I believe that there will be some sort of ports for the pace by time.
[Amazfit] JonMS:
You can flash the entire Stratos OS (albeit the one without soccer & tennis) ROM is over at HTCMania. Use it as my daily on my PACE and I love it. Best way to set up is run International ROM and setup the way you like it then flash over to Stratos ROM. Experienced weird issues coming from CN ROM

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenneus:
Hey everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (Android 7.0, rooted with SuperSU). When i set a screen lock (pattern, pincode or password), I get a delay on my lockscreen. If I draw my pattern, it gets stuck for a couple of seconds and then it unlocks. Same with pincode or password; if I put in my pincode/password and click ok, it also gets stuck and unlocks a little later. Sometimes it gets stuck for so long that my phone locks automatically, it's really frustrating. When you go to settings and change the screen lock, you have to give your current screen lock. It also gets stuck on that when I put in my current pattern/pincode/password. But when I choose a swipe lock, it doesn't have this problem. Maybe it has to do with the authentication of the pattern/pincode/password? I have no idea. Can someone help me out?
