I've got camera working! There what i did:

Wiped /system and /data

Formatted /data

Installed 8.1 firmware (just to be sure)

Installed ROM and Gapps mini (no gcam included)

Booted to ROM.

Stock camera was working, and then i've tried 8 different gcam versions and none of them crashed, but some of them was not working in other ways (no photo, just video, BW photos, etc)

And finally i found working version, it was GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-1.4.apk from Arnova

Now i have great rom and best camera for mi note 3.

So problem i think was gcam from OpenGapps.

Hi, flash Miui 10 China stable firmware before the rom and use latest official TWRP -3.2.3.1

After flashing the rom the phone gets encrypted, I put on the password and asks me to do another wipe, if I say yes it goes straight to Fastboot mode.

What can I do?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] zaqm:
Was the phone encrypted before flashing the rom? If yes, Format data in TWRP (make a backup of everything on your phone) and then flash AEX.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Tommy0NL0:
Hey all,

I'm looking to buy an tab S3 but I want to use it in a very specific use case where I need to use a USB-C to audio adapter (yes, I know it has a 3.5mm jack plug).

We have the tablet at work but because it's for a client I can't just tinker around with it.

I tried the USB-C adapter that came with the Google pixel 2 XL but that didn't work. The Tab S3 didn't play the sound over the speakers and paused when I plugged out the adapter as if it recognized it but I could hear anything. Does anyone have experience of a adapter that does work?

Also, does it work with the cheap passive adapters without a DAC? (USB-C audio can be analogue if the device supports it, other only do digital and require a DAC)

Hey All

Last year i made the switch from iPhone to Samsung S8+ and i love it! Never going back :)

A couple days ago i updated my software and my LED view cover was working fine. I left my phone in my bag and went in for an exam at uni, came out and the LED notification's had stopped working! I've looked everywhere for an answer and i can't seem to find one on how to fix this! I didn't turn anything off or edit any settings as it was in my bag. I've never had my NFC turned on so i know that isn't the problem. As far as i can tell the LED icon app is up to date. Weird thing is, the case still locks my phone when i close the cover and when i plug it in to charge the LED battery icon still comes up. So i'm getting no notifications, no time showing up and no battery percentage. I've checked and all notification settings are the same, nothing has changed. Has anyone else had the same problem and know how i can fix this? Thanks in advance :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] tasked28m:
Same for me. Lost the recepit and am stuck with it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kbarni:
Unfortunately LED covers aren't very robust. I also like it a lot (as it can be used to cut all unwanted notification), but unfortunately they don't last long.

Mine lost its touch sensor after a few months and the LEDs stopped after 1.5 years. The screen start/stop function was the only thing still working. Customers are often complaining about this, so this is not an isolated case.

What's worse, I think the cover is considered as an "accessory" and not as an "electronic device", so you get only a 6 month warranty and not 2 years.

Anyway, the price of the cover is quite low right now; finally I bought a new LED cover on Amazon for only €20 (which is about the price of a 3rd party dumb cover).

Please help me

I once soft bricked my mate 10 lite, then used Stock recovery to factory reset, phone was properly alive again.

Then I messed up with using backup of TWRP, and it soft bricked again.

Now the following thread helped me:

https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/huawei-mate-10-lite--roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development/service-firmware-rne-l21c185b101-t3773170/post76149009#post76149009

then again I took backup of TWRP and messed up, now the above force upgrade method wont work

it will simply show this after 5%:

[IMG="5 Percent error"]https://preview.ibb.co/egvSRn/IMG_20180414_123304.jpg[/IMG]

I tried alot with various update packaged and SD cards, but it wont just go after 5%.

Then I used different backups of TWRP for L21C185 some times the phone loads OS but shows

NEO-L21 version with android 6.0 and 3 GB RAM and internal storage as 32 (which is obviously not what

my device hardware has)

Then I tried Honor 9i TWRP backup, after it I used forced upgrade with STock Recovery dload folder method

now it went past 5% and actually completed, I thought I would get it back finally, but still it shown NEO-L21

Now I stuck, what to do, one thing more, in force upgrade method, I dont disconnect data cable with PC

it shows following screen for like 5 minutes (probably because it is looking for some command, as ADB devices

command) will show it as the serial number and recovery

then it restarts and goes to bootloop:

[IMG="Cable"]https://image.ibb.co/ik5xsS/IMG_20180413_231243.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Recovery"]https://preview.ibb.co/bwFQe7/aa.jpg[/IMG]

I have no idea about this cable icon what can I at this point ?

Another thing is after various TWRP restores, if I dont reboot and just flash Elemental ROM, my device gets

all hardware specs back with RNE-L21 as build number, but faceunlock feature does not detect any face at all.

Plz provide help if you can as per all above details.

If your bootloader is unlocked then flash twrp then restore oem info of c185. It will lock your bootloader. Then try flashing b142 build.

Twrp backup can be found on this forum.

I feel like there are some Bluetooth inconsistencies or the app is not always running in the background? Due to these inconsistencies i see my smartwatch's battery to be drained really quickly.

AOSP Oreo Project for Fire HD 10 (2017)
​

DESCRIPTION:

This is a project to compile an Oreo ROM for Fire HD 10 2017 (Suez) from scratch, using stock Google sources for 8.1.0_r23. Now that my project for compiling Safestrap had been put on halt, I'm thinking about compiling this to be compatible with FlashFire.

PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD:

I know that placeholder threads are not allowed on XDA. So, this thread is open for suggestions by everyone! But, if a lot of people want LineageOS instead of AOSP, tell me immediately, because it will be impossible to change after a few days. I chose AOSP because it is fresh, and got latest sources. :yum:

TESTING:

Please take into account that I don't own this device, so please excuse for any delays that may happen. ;)

SOURCES:

https://github.com/LoneFlux/android_device_amazon_suez

Thank you, and I hope that we'll be able to run fresh Oreo (:cool:) on this little (not really) tablet!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
I thought that the locked bootloader meant that it was only possible to have a Lollipop based ROM for this device?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Um, I've seen other Lollipop devices with more than Lollipop? Really, I've got to research a bit.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
I don't know enough about it to be sure, but based on comments on the Amazon Fire 7 forum: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64804381&postcount=7 and the fact that all custom ROMS for the Fire 7 are Lollipop based I assumed this was the case. I do have an old Kindle Fire HD 7 (Amazon Tate) with a Nougat based ROM, but this requires an unlocked secondary bootloader which is flashed before the ROM. Why something similar can't be done for newer Amazon devices is above my pay grade, but I know these already have locked secondary bootloaders preinstalled.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Looks like you are right. Poor LoneFlux... :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] LoneFlux:
If that is what it takes, let that be. I'm not gonna back up, definitely not now.

Really, I'm not going to kneel in front of Amazon because of this. I'm getting the keys, one way or the other.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Tomatenjoghurt:
For me personally I wouldn't even care if it was AOSP or LineageOS, all we really need would be a clean OS near to stock, maybe rooted and safetyNet passing and everything would be fine.

But please, don't wake false expectations or hope...don't get me wrong, I would really be grateful to use the tablet with a nice OS like AOSP or lineage, but I surely was disappointed when I opened the thread... :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Wow, sorry about that! [MENTION=8132642]diplomatic[/MENTION] can you please shed some light on whether it's possible to install an 8.1 system without touching the boot? If it doesn't, I'm going to compile a Lollipop ROM for now, you will not regret flashing it, anything is better than the bloated so-called "FireOS" :cowboy:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Well, I've never ported a ROM myself, so keep that in mind. IMO, you should first try to build a Lollipop ROM, at least as a stepping stone to a more recent version. Because it's kind of a nightmare trying to port binaries from the stock FW to a different version of Android. I'm not sure if it's possible to keep the stock boot image. Every ROM build produces its own boot image that includes a ramdisk. I guess it's possible in theory with some hacks. But you really have to know what's going on.

Oh, and I would really really recommend for LoneFlux to get his own Fire HD for this project. I don't really know how this is possible to do remotely. This will require some intense experimentation, testing and reverse engineering to get done. It's an uphill battle to say the least...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wdobbins:
I have hope!

I am currently working on a 2017 Fire HD 10. What I find horrible about amazon products like this is that they really don't want the user to be able to get away from amazon crap. Netflix cannot be used on this device unless you go through amazon stuff. Even though technically speaking the regular app is available through side-loaded google play, it will still not install through google play because of a amazon app that checks for side-loaded apps like netflix. Vimeo is another app that will not work. Several games that are also available from amazon for a fee but also available on Google play is also blocked.

So, this particular tablet came from ebay. The seller refuses to spend any time de-registering it from amazon(which would literally take less than 5 minutes) so it dooms me to not being able to get full functionality from Amazon because you cannot re-register a fire if there is a current registered user. Great stuff, really. The anti-theft systems do serve a purpose and I understand that, but come on. This is a prime example of being taken advantage of. The seller is not being reasonable, bad rating, but it does nothing really. So I am stuck with a tablet that is useless for about 20% of the things that I want to do with it.

I have rooted it, and uninstalled a lot of the bloatware on it. Then I side-loaded several sdk files from google to get their services working...and they do work well. I would really love to see a Android OS come out for this that has nothing to do with Amazon.

If you want to root, there is a good thread here at xda that will give you about 18 steps(pretty easy though) to root.

Side-loading google services is really easy too, just google it.

To any who read this put the word out, that we want to see a real version of oreo or nougat come out for this thing...and if you know of one then please post links.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wall.swe:
I have a rooted Fire HD10 on 5.6.0.1, and it really is a great tablet, the OS however is not.. I'm following the amazing work you guys are doing, and I have high hopes for the project!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Excuse me, but that was clear for the last several generations. These Amazon Fire products are the most locked down things ever. It's pretty obvious Amazon has been doing everything in its power to keep you from unlocking them. That's because their revenue directly depends on them being locked down. You can be sure that they're not making much if any profit on the hardware. This tablet for example, is just a gateway to everything Amazon: shopping, movies, books, etc. I mean, the HD10 is priced at $110 on sale. A similar tablet, the Asus Z301MF, with the same chip, resolution and so on, is $220. If Amazon was interested in selling you just another Android tablet, you can bet it would be in the latter price range. So I don't get why people who care at all about modding their Android device keep buying these stupid things and rewarding companies for locking down devices. Same deal as discounted smartphones that are tied to your phone carrier. No profit is made on the handset itself. You should know what you're getting into beforehand.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
The exact reason we know that they are never going to release a BL unlock. :confused:

Anyway, I received this as a gift. I knew about FireOS (and I hoped to put stock Android on it, and I was surely shocked to see that there's not at least root, I knew about root because I rooted my good old SM-G360H with Kingoroot, just to remove the preloaded 'Internet' app and use Chrome as a system app.) and to be honest, I was just an another one like 99.9% of device owners, knowing nothing about these modding things then, that's before 5 months, in December 2017. I agree with what you said, but, more than the joy of a modded device, I appreciate the excellent learning path provided by these devices. I didn't knew about ADB at all when I received this, now I can compile a custom ROM from scratch.

Summarizing, if it weren't for the bloated FireOS and my locked-down Amazon Fire HD 8, I'd still recognize ADB as a misarranged collection of weird letters.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wdobbins:
Excuses Excuses.

I did not purchase this, a friend did. I am simply trying to get it to function correctly. A long story short. This tablet is on the black list at Amazon because it was not properly de-registered before it was sold. My friend who bought it did not know this, and was having issues getting anything to work because everything is tied to the amazon subscription services. He sent it to me, I immediately called Amazon and was told it was black listed(meaning it was never going to be able to be registered to a new user until the old user removed it from their list of registered devices). My friend has been attempting to get in touch with the ebay seller who sold it, and has had no luck. It is after the 14 day satisfaction guarantee which ebay seems to want to enforce even though the auction where my friend purchased this said specifically that the tablet was 100% working and Amazon ready.

So I side-loaded google services and play store which allows the tablet to do most everything, but NETFLIX and a few other apps are not usable at all(says they are not compatible) because Amazon requires these apps be downloaded through them, even though fundamentally the apps are the same.

So, this is the story of what led me to look into a custom rom. Anything new enough to run Netflix and be compatible with this tablet would be good enough, but no one has one because of the trouble with the loader. I have yet to see anyone post anything about Fire HD 10(2017) being capable of running a normal Android OS.

ADB is nice, it will let you get rid a quite a few amazon tied apps, but no matter what you do, you are still tied to them and if you cannot register then you will not have full functionality because some things just won't work through Google Play.

I didn't know about the Netflix block. Why isn't sideloading Netflix APK work?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
You don't even have to sideload it. Just download app in browser and install it with package manager
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
I am using Netflix every day. Never had an issue.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wdobbins:
Netflix and Fire HD 10

I am uncertain. Let me explain quickly what it is that I believe is wrong.

I do not have the ability to download anything because of it being blacklisted as I mentioned before unless I download it through google play. I am assuming side loading it is the same as using google play? Because I cannot find the app on the net that does not bring it through the play store...or amazon.

If you know differently please explain.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
Are you sure that you cannot download anything from your browser?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Maybe you'll fix this by ADB sideload. Please reply if you are interested, but it will wipe all your data.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
I don't know much about this whole BL unlocking topic but what about flashing a different bootloader? What is preventing us from doing this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Simply, it's been verified by the preloader, and the preloader is been verified by the SoC.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wdobbins:
you can side load a great deal of apps, and updates...but the bootloader when you try to flash a new loader over will tell you that the HW is locked by vendor. At least that is what happened when I tried. Also, while it is possible to recover from a soft-brick state, that is when the OS is in failure or loop, it is highly unlikely that the bootloader is as easy to recover if you make a mistake.

I did soft-brick it, and mentioned it on another thread how I went about recovering it. Basically you will use ADB tools and the correct Update from Amazon available on their site and sideload the update.

Obviously you want to make doubly sure you get the right update for the right machine and there are a few variances so just be careful.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Supersonic27543:
Yes. To add to that, there was a way to handshake with the preloader and unbrick the bootloader, but of course Amazon fixed it, now only they can fix a bricked device. And, if you brick the device you can always send that back to them, because they can't blame us for downgrading, they never advised against it OR informed us about their Anti-rollback feature.

If anyone want to know about anti-rollback, I just soldered the serial port out of my old bricked Fire, and looked at the console output.

.... (some common things showed in booting)

....

....

....

[ANTI-ROLLBACK] PL 2 : LK 4

[ANTI-ROLLBACK] LK version mismatch!!!

And then the console shuts down. This is shown at every boot. There's nothing wrong with the preloader or the bootloader, just the bootloader detects that its version doesn't match the preloader, and turns off.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Yeah, I think the unlock feature is just there for technicians to restore bricked units. I'm guessing if they can get into the fastboot mode, they generate an unlock file for that particular tablet and flash the FW. Then relock the tablet. If they can't get into fastboot, they pass it along to someone who has access to the MTK flashing software, which is probably closely guarded.

You have to realize that Amazon would rather exchange your bricked tablet than give you the possibility of rooting it. That's how fanatical they are about keeping it locked down.

You can file a dispute on ebay within something like 45 days of purchase and claim that it's not as described. The seller's return policy has little meaning on the absolute return window. Also, it may be that the seller is not the original user of that tablet and can't deactivate the account either.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
