[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] monozuki:
I've installed the XEU version found here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955F/XEU/ following the guide from here: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/37508-How-to-install-S8-firmware

I've downloaded the file and repacked contents as per the guide here https://xdaforums.com/gal...-odin-t3748555 because odin would just freeze otherwise (at partitioning step).

I don't have any other firmware versions downloaded and the names match, however, after installation what I get is a german system (initializing in german) that has the german CSC code.

I'll add that the phone is brand new and was Three branded (UK) initially.

Am I missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

*edit*

Turns out you just have to install witt h the sim card in... well. The more you know!

I have a TX3 mini (2/16/S905W) and I want to be able to backup all apps and settings and restore to an identical box.

My problem is that I cannot get TWRP to load when booting from recovery.

Does anyone know what image / zip file I should have on my micro SD card for this to work and where I can get it from?

Many thanks

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] TechNash:
Hello, so I have been wondering why is there no stock Android available for the SM-J700T?

All I find are certain remakes of the normal Samsung Experience/TouchWiz OS.

I just want a stock Android, the type you would find on the HTC One M8 2014, ETC
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GuestK0010:
No device tree, for the US variant. I was building an aosp rom but no one really cared so I quit.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] TechNash:
That's too bad. Does that mean there is no way to completely remove Samsung Experience/TouchWiz from your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GuestK0010:
? That IS the operating system. U can't remove it. What u are talking about is the Android open source project. Or aosp. It doesn't exist for the US version of the j7. U can theme your phone to look more like pure Android. Download the lawn chair launcher from here on xda. Then use it as toucwiz. Or use my pixel rom . I would get a new phone. J7 sucks man. If u like Android get a Nexus or pixel . Honor has potential too and same price as the j7
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] TechNash:
Okay. Forget what I said. I was using your Pixel rom, but I have three HUGE issues. 1 is I cannot download Amazon shopping, and can't download web browsers [nvm fixed it], I can't answer calls correctly, and the ui feels like someone sped it up. What I mean is the loading symbols are cats on cat nip, the animations are active, but too fast, and the lockscreen lags. alot.

I'm just going back to stock and using Gravity Box.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GuestK0010:
U didn't read the Official post. U have to select phone in default applications, it's a pixel UI port bug.u can't use Amazon ? That's weird. And yes everything is way sped up. That's what I do. I make phones fast and battery's last for way longer. Xposed will slow it down to a creep cuz that's what Xposed does... And the lockscreen is a nougat bug.

FYI, read posts before flashing...like the majority of them.. this is all in there..hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] TechNash:
No, but why are the loading symbols the speed of light?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GuestK0010:
Cuz this is a fast and light rom. The animations match that setting of the custom in-built kernel

Your current RMM state is Prenormal whiuch means you are locked for 7 days.

When the 7 days is up you should be able to flash. i suggest you immediately flash TWRP and the RMM patch as soon as the RMM state resets.

It also states your system status is custom. Did you attempt to modify the system partition?

You may try flashing the tar file below, this may get you booting.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Project D:
So I'm still getting my new Essential set up and configured to my taste, rooting around through the settings like a pig hunting for truffles, when I went into the About menu. Because I'm bored, I decide to activate the Android Easter egg by tapping on the Android version. Thing is, I'm daydreaming, not paying all that close attention, and I end up tapping on the hardware version, instead. I realize this when the Easter egg doesn't pop up, so I go to tap on Android version instead. I only get a couple taps in when all of a sudden I get one of those gray oval popup notifications at the bottom of the screen that says, "Barcode is back."

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, I don't see anything new or different anywhere, and searches all over the internet have yielded absolutely nothing on the subject. Anyone have any ideas?
[Nextbit Robin] wpost:
This is my first time attempting to flash a ROM but I haven't even got as far as getting to TWRT. I have followed these instructions...

wiki DOT lineageos DOT org SLASH devices SLASH ether SLASH install

....up to flashing TWRP onto the phone. Attempting to reboot into recovery per the next instruction, the phone's screen hangs on:

Your device has been unlocked and Nextbit OS can't be checked for tampering.

Your device will continue booting in 5 seconds.

Fine, except it does not continue booting. The screen is frozen, and neither pressing nor long holding either the power button or either of the volume buttons does anything. `adb devices` in a terminal does not see the phone, so I can't force a reboot that way. What's my next step?
[Nextbit Robin] wpost:
Solved

The solution was easy, though it took a while to find it. Long pressing vol down + power for several seconds took me to fastboot, and I was able to continue from there.

how did you continue cuz i am not able to restart the device or access it from ADB

I also noticed for some wizard roms, they somehow enabled audio to be directed to bluetooth with out a program, maybe a registrey hack, IDK.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] shogunreaper:
My moto e4 is the USC XT1768 one.

I wanted to install magisk so I removed root with SuperSU Unroot, then tried to flash the stock boot.img and it just got stuck on the bad key screen.

so i reflashed my backup boot.img and i'm back where i started.

How can i flash the boot.img without getting stuck in the loop?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
It's likely dmverity causing issues. After you flash the stock boot.img, before booting system, you could try flashing dm no verity zip.

Or better yet,when you have your system running properly, install magisk manager app. Then inside the app, use it to patch the stock boot.img. then install the magisk patched boot.img. then you will have magisk installed.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] shogunreaper:
there are 2 advanced options, should i have both "preserve force encryption" and "preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" checked in advanced settings or just the first one? (that's default)
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
I don't use either one. I find running encrypted with root causes issues. I usually disable dmverity and encryption, then format data in twrp (format, not wipe. To remove encryption). But you can try to keep encryption if you like. Definitely don't want to preserve dmverity.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] shogunreaper:
alright so i patched the boot.img and then flashed it in twrp, it was able to boot successfully.

quick question, are all the things under the downloads tab compatible? Can you brick your phone by installing them?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Magisk modules won't install on e4. It's because of the f2fs loopback bug in Moto devices. There is a fix. F2fs loopback bug workaround module. It's in the download section in magisk manager. Download it (not install) then boot to twrp and flash it there. Then you can install magisk modules. Most should be compatible. Non will brick. If one causes your phone not to boot, you can remove it. There is a magisk mount zip in magisk forum. Flashing it mounts magisk in recovery so you can remove the offending module with twrp file manager. Which ones do you want to try?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] shogunreaper:
I was going to try out the sony apps enabler to start.

I seem to get "/data/magisk_merge.img mout faled..." when trying to install from inside magisk, but it works from in twrp. Is that just something i have to deal with on my device or is there a workaround?

thanks for helping.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
That's the f2fs loopback bug I was talking about. Get the f2fs loopback bug workaround module from the download list. Download it (don't install in magisk manager) you have to install it in twrp. Then modules will install normally. I outlined all of that in my previous post.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] shogunreaper:
i did install that, it was the first thing i did.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
If you installed that in twrp, you should be able to install all modules normally in magisk manager. Some modules need to be updated to work properly in the latest magisk version. Some do say to flash in recovery. But if you installed the work around module, you should not get the "failed to mount" error anymore. It moves magisk to /cache, which is already mounted and ext4.

Where did you find the stock boot.img? I have accidentally deleted it and could do with it back...

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] voxboi:
Where can I find that?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Depends on which version you have. You haven't provided any info.

You need to know which version you have.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] voxboi:
I have attempted to flash the stock boot.img but when I do, nothing happens. (my boot partition is completely gone - is there any way to remake it?) I tried to flash the full zip as well but it had no META-INF so it was unflashable.

Moto E4 (woods)

SKU: XT1761
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
You can't flash a firmware package in TWRP. You have to use fastboot.

What do you mean "nothing happens"? How are you flashing it?

Flash the firmware for your specific model. There are a bunch of different versions. Flash the full firmware, it has the partition table in it.

How do you think you got rid of your boot partition? That's not likely.

Flash the firmware with fastboot. The commands are in the flashfile.xml in the firmware zip. Extract it.

Or you can use RSDlite to flash it.

What is your model (SKU) and software channel?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jorxster:
Hi fellow developers,

I need to do modify my HTC 10's hosts file, but with the latest OTA update to Android 8.0, I find it impossible to make any functional changes to the hosts file. Does anyone have a clue?

I am rooted, and S-OFF with TWRP recovery.

In recovery, I have tried modifying all of these:

/system/etc/hosts

(which is only there normally when the phone is booted and running, I can't figure out where it's coming from)

/data/hosts

/data/data/hosts

None of these work.

Please help, if you know! I cannot find any information online, after hours of research and troubleshooting...

cheers,

Jordan

P.S. Despite S-Off and root, I find that many root procedures don't work when android is booted, disappointed, cannot understand why. Miss my One M8!

Hello mate.

Have u tried edit hosts file using any text editor? try get Root Explorer, navigate to /system/etc/ and mount R/W. select hosts file & edit.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jorxster:
Thank you aM- for replying, someone hears my cry for help! :)

I tried to mount /system as read-write and instead got an "Error : The operation could not be completed".

This is frustrating, as again, I got S-OFF specifically for this purpose.

And SuperSU seems to function normally, asking me to grant permissions.

I had the same problem with a terminal editor, being unable to SU, permissions denied.

Are you on Android 8.0 Oreo as well?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aM-:
Yes, I'm on Android 8.0. Have you check either your device rooted or not? if rooted, supposedly on terminal also should be no problem.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jorxster:
I should be rooted.. I am unlocked and S-OFF.

I flashed SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip from TWRP recovery.

I have the SuperSU app installed and it seems to run normally.

But I cannot "su" in a shell like you did, cannot mount /system partition as write, really, cannot do anything root.

Do you know what version of SuperSU you rooted yours with?

P.S. Android 8.0 as well, not 8.1 (which I presume hasn't rolled out to OTA yet)

Navigate to system/bin

"su" file in there?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jorxster:
Thanks so much aM- and fmedrano1977.

I've made progress. I reflashed my phone with the later SuperSU SR5 zip that you posted, wiped dalvik/cache, rebooted. Now I can "su", as well as mount /system/etc as read/write. Success!

There was a couple of catches, at least two or three other apps that don't seem to work with root anymore (like the previous file explorer I had, supposed to support root, but only "root explorer" worked after I bought it).

Now modifying my hosts file seems to have no effect, but I suppose that's another issue for another day. As it stands, I can now edit my hosts file thanks to your help.

Cheers!!

Yesterday i flashed the latest firmware with a FULL wipe, also formatted my sd card, waited until the second cycle and it's back again,i have no idea what the hell is going on, it also happened when the phone still didnt update or install any app after the firmware installation.

1. The Helio x20 allow ROM customization?

2. There is custom ROMS for my device (Check title) that also update to new Android platforms (Nougat or Oreo)?

3. Can someone create a ROM which (if it's possible) upgrade to Android to 7.0 or 8.0 if those ROMS don't exist yet, and at who should I ask it?

PS: Yes I can't do it myself cause I'm a big noob x')
