thanks for that but ive been working on phones awhile . it doesn't react like a bricked phone.first off i can't even get windows ten to see it.in any shape or form.i've been through adb and it sees it but it wont show up.do you understand you can tell it's reading it then it just stops.it does the same thing when i do system recovery it flashes the screen then goes back to fastboot.you can go to recovery but it can't do anything else.as i mentioned its a prototype.if you need pics or anything let me know i can even make a vid maybe of the way it reacts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x.akshit:
I completely agree that you have been working on phones for a while, but I guess you have not entered the bricking field.

Not to show off or anything but I am a unprofessional developer so according to me you should put your phone in download mode, you can search Google for how to do that, and after that you can install the Qualcomm drivers and then connect your phone to the PC after installing qfil. your phone will instantly get detected and then you may install/flash a new crom or srom.

Also you are not liking any of my replies please do like them as it encourages me to help people like you.

[Nextbit Robin] wpost:
I've successfully flashed my first ROM. My purpose in doing so was to get the monthly Android security updates, and more broadly have my phone as secure as practical. In that vein, can I safely relock the bootloader? Should I? I am aware that many (most?) people here choose to keep the bootloader unlocked, and I respect that choice, but I'm seeking maximum security.

Searching here at XDA I see conflicting guidance. Some folks say that re-locking the bootloader with a custom ROM installed is begging to be bricked, while others say they have re-locked with no trouble. So what is your advice, why is that your opinion, and do you speak from experience?

I have not rooted the phone, nor do I plan to. I'm running AICP 8.1 on Nextbit Robin and don't plan to make any changes other than receive OTA updates. Should I make future changes beyond that I would not be bothered by the very minor inconvenience of having to unlock then relock it.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
I too want to simply flash the stock recovery and lock my bootloader, but from what I've read to update the ROMs we need an unlocked bootloader. So that needs to be unlocked again does that mean everytime I lock-unlock I will be wiping my data all over? :( Thats would be a pain.

So this is an experiment I want to run from quite long and might do it sometime next month maybe. I will be wiping-unlocking-flashing-locking and see again if I can unlock without wiping my data and lock again, this way I can know for sure if this is doable because most online answers are weirdly confusing.
[Nextbit Robin] jabashque:
javelinanddart found that locking the bootloader on the Robin results in similar behavior as on the Nexus devices. The phone will check and make sure that the key used to sign the recovery partition remains the same as it was when your device got relocked, so as a result, TWRP should still work, and updating to a new version of TWRP would work too since it's (presumably) signed with the same key. System partition checking is handled by the kernel itself (dm-verity), but all the custom roms for the Robin have that disabled, so that wouldn't be a problem.

I've also been running custom roms with my bootloader locked and haven't run into any issues with flashing roms with TWRP.

I will be honest though, since TWRP lets you do so much to your phone, relocking your bootloader wouldn't really help security wise. You can pull up a damn root shell right in TWRP, for crying out loud.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
[MENTION=8079424]jabashque[/MENTION]

Wait so are you saying despite locking the bootloader I can still go in custom recovery? Whats the point then?

I mean for me why I a considering locking the bootloader is so that if I lose my phone no one can access my data. As of now with custom ROM anyone has free access to my data via TWRP/custom recovery.
[Nextbit Robin] jabashque:
I suppose you could flash Lineage recovery instead, which was designed to be an OEM-grade recovery and doesn't include the ability to pull up a root shell or use adb.

Grab that here: http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/ether/ether-lineage-recovery-20180310_170949.img

Personally, I locked my bootloader so that I could actually see my custom splash screen without having to press the power button to dismiss the warning message. :P

EDIT: the build of Lineage recovery I linked still has adb shell access enabled it seems; I was wrong on that. Also, I haven't tried flashing another rom's system partition that's been signed with different keys.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
So for an OTA update do I have to wipe all data to unlock again? I am on Omni btw.
[Nextbit Robin] akeemk:
I only unlock my bootloader to flash a cool splash screen then relock it. Even if the bootloader is locked I can still flash custom ROMs using ADB sideload. Works like a charm every time. I'm running the AEX custom ROM with Android 8.1.0
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
But you still locking it while on TWRP isn't it? Which means anyone has access to shell via TWRP defeats the purpose of security provided by a locked bootloader, isn't it?
[Nextbit Robin] akeemk:
I guess that's why Nextbit never had a problem with us unlocking the phone's bootloader.

(Not sure if it goes here or in another forum)

I've figured out a way to execute a dex file without manually running the dalvikvm command. It works similarly to self-extracting tar archives, by taking the dex file, and adding a little script at the top to run dalvikvm on it. This could probably allow for architecture-independent executables that have more abilities than shell scripts, they would just need to be written in Java and then dexed. Just add this to the start of a dex file (obviously put in the actual main class):

#!/system/bin/sh
tmpdex="$0".tmp;
sed -e '1,/^exit;$/d' "$0" > "$tmpdex";
dalvikvm -cp "$tmpdex" name.of.main.Class "$@";
rm "$tmpdex";
exit;

(Make sure there are no characters after "exit;" [besides a single new line character], or it will break the dex!)

As an example, I have dexed and added this to topjohnwu's zipsigner utility and attached it.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeonymous:
Hi All,

Searched through the forums and web, but haven't had any luck - is there a possibility of running Android Oreo 8.0 (Go edition) on the TF300? Given the aging device has limited performance (especially RAM), wouldn't it be a good candidate for the Go edition of Android?

I have tried several ROMs and settled on KatKiss 7.1 Nougat, but still feels like the performance is laggy despite having few programs - any thoughts?

Thanks,

Aeon

Please note, correct installed after format data and changing file system for data to F2FS (for data only, not for cache or system) the CR shows in general an amazing performance compared with the stock rom. No complaints are known up to now! :cowboy:

Download Rom, SuperSU and pico Gapps from post #1. Your recovery must be Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2!!! Then follow the install instruction in post #1 carefully without wandering away. https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702 :cowboy:

Also have a look at Timm's helpful tips here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71094836&postcount=615. There is also a video by Timduru that shows the great performance of Nougatella.

If done, please check your Settings -> Performance:

Set clock values on boot

Set Governor on interaktiv

Minimum frequency

Current value: 204 MHz

Maximum frequency

Thanks ebonit, that's super helpful - I'll give it a try. KatKiss is definitely faster than the stock ROM, but it still seemed slower than I expected, but hopefully these tweaks fix it.

[General Questions and Answers] OFKL:
I’m dealing with random reboots (every few days) when my Note 8 is idle. This happens every few days and not every day. When I set it up I used Smart Switch to move things over from my Note3. Called Samsung and they suggested a reset, which I think I’m going to do. However, they suggest I use Smart Switch to back up and restore everything to my reset phone. I asked how is this making it any different from what I have, basically copying a theoretically corrupted phone to a backup and then restoring that corrupted backup to a reset phone. The call center lady hung up after I posed that question.

So my question is what can I restore selectively with Smart Switch? Obviously, I am going to restore all apps and settings manually. Any other suggestions by someone who has done this would be appreciated. Basically I want a clean installation.

Other factor is I don’t have Oreo available yet. Am using a dual SIM unlocked version of the phone and I guess the update will have to come from Samsung directly. Do you advise waiting to see if Oreo clears up the idle restart issue or going ahead and doing the restart?

Hey guys !

I was wondering if there's been a project to port the "video as lock screen" functionality on the Samsung S9 to S8 ?

I know there's a work around for that such as the gif lock screen app but it's just that the lock screen interface from the app are just too ugly for me at least.

I'll prefer the stock lock screen UI better.

Or is there any way for us to create our own live wallpaper from a video ?

I posted of wifi issues with radio 3.35 and rom 3.0.0 in post #648 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=376150&page=65. I want to mention that I finally resolved the problem. It looks like it wasn't the ROM update at all but rather the result of running WMWiFiRouter. I removed this program and my wifi functionality was restored. I then replaced the program with the latest version and, while it worked properly as long as nothing went wrong, I was able to get the wifi problem to come back by launching the program with the hardware wifi switch off and then turning the switch on while WMWiFiRouter's connection sequence was in progress. In this last case, the program's built-in crash recovery was able to get wifi working again (although that hadn't worked back when I first posted the problem). So, I think I'm good as long as remember to always have that slider switch on before launching WMWiFiRouter and to make sure the program disconnects completely and fully before exiting the software.
