Wipe cache partition

Reboot system now

Enter simcard pin and power off the phone by pressing power button and choose power off

Install Firmware:

Insert MicroSD card into the phone and start it into recovery mode by pressing vol up + power key (make sure you have no usb devices connected to your phone)

You should boot into the your custom recovery, now you open a new terminal in your computer and run the following commands:

adb shell

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] StalkerUnderTheBed:
do we always have to flash HuRUpdater.zip to install other firmwares? and is the main use for this, is so that we dont have to flash correct oeminfo to install other firmwares that need rebranding? does it replace eRecovery?

latest custom recoveries that have the additional options (oeminfo, vendor, cust, etc..) for installation?

so just place on the same folder and does it scan where the firmware is then auto installs it? Or there will be a prompt screen for options?

Friends, I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5A and would like to root it. When searching the internet I found only unlock tutorials via fastboot. Is there any other, more practical way, that you do not need to use a computer?

I've already asked for the bootloader unlock via settings as recommended but still unsuccessful. Do I need to wait or can I do the procedure without fear of brick?

Hey guys,

I just upgraded htc 10 to the latest official version of lineageos, but the installation got stuck in recovery and then I restarted normally.

Unfortunately, I lost the radio signal: no SIM detected! What do you recommend? Can I flash the previous build without encrypt / decrypt issues on partition phone?

I'm on nougat firmware, S-OFF.

Thanks in advance,

Some details might help .....

It might be useful to know more specifics about the device we are talking about ? Did you make a COMPLETE Nandroid backup (e.g. with TWRP) before you tried flashing the new image, etc.... What was on it before? What did you (not) wipe prior to attempting the install.... SPECIFICALLY, one could ASSUME a previous LOS build, but assumptions are often dangerous. Also, shouldn't lose the IMEI absent a serious glitch. You CAN blow it away if you wipe the area in TWRP but that would lead to a hope that you also backed it up first. If you CAN, restore what was there before all of this unhappiness began and try again ? Good Luck.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] RobeStar:
Hi nezlek! You're right: here some useful answer.

Device we are talking about ? HTC 10

Did you make a COMPLETE Nandroid backup ? No... :silly:

What was on it before? lineage-14.1-20180411-nightly-pme-signed.zip

When OTA update has been notified, I installed using the rom tool (not twrp). During the update procedure it stopped in twrp, so I just restarted to system. Then I noticed that the radio did not work anymore...

PS: it's more safer to flash the new build in twrp or continue to use system rom ota update?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Ouch

FIRST - Always better (in my book) to flash with TWRP. Others my have different experiences and opinions but it has never let me down.

You predicament is, in a word, not good. If I were you, I would first try re-flashing the previous Lineage build via TWRP. Unfortunately you are probably going to lose some data in all of this. If anything works well enough to backup your system and data partitions, do that first and move that to removable storage and remove it so it is SAFE. Maybe you have Titanium Backup and can do some of the pieces you need ?? Boot into TWRP and re-flash the build file that was on it before this all started. If that "dirty" flash doesn't give you anything useful, try wiping cache, davlik, etc... and repeating (a full factory reset). If THAT fails, download the zip file(s) - LOS, su-add-on, gapps, etc... and pretend you are doing it for the first time (maybe even wipe data and system but then, your stuff is GONE without a backup). But at this point, what have you got to lose? ASSUMING you get things back to a proper working condition, only then do a complete backup and ponder starting over again. The radio, who knows? Losing the IMEI info is much more of a problem since carriers will often not like that. I know it is trivially easy to restore IMEI data on an MTK device, but yours I have no personal knowledge of. There ARE places that will apparently do it for you if you do a little judicious web searching and are willing to part with a little cash for it, but SOMEBODY out here on XDA has to know how to do it for what you have.

And I'm NOT going to say somebody told you so, but they did. NEVER do this sort of thing without a backup in hand or a willingness to wave goodbye to whatever you have installed on or done to a device. I spend not more than 10 minutes a week doing a Nandroid of devices I use regularly. It has saved me a hell of a lot more time than that the very few times I've needed it. So, with apologies for rubbing salt in the wound, it is always better to have 'em and not need 'em than to need 'em and not have 'em ;)

One thing is pretty certain. Most of us rarely repeat this sort of thing. Good Luck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmotech:
I have tried almost 10 diffrent firmwares from different places. They all seem to be the same ones and none of the firmwares seem to work except this Australian one (courtesy of Mercyless) which can also be found somewhere in GSMHosting.

I have a few questions if someone may be able to answer or help:

Why is it that most of the firmwares available are not working on my phone, leaving me with a circling logo at boot screen?

Why does the Australian and Vietnamese Firmware seem to be the only one that works?

I would appreciate if someone would direct me to a the UK Stock firmware for this phone or even talk me through (if possible) to install the Alcatel Pixi 4(4) firmware as suggested somewhere on the internet. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
So I'm having some trouble getting the kernel for my T813 to compile. I've downloaded the Lineage source code and that is what I'm working with for the moment. I've solved several problems, and now I'm here, which looks like perhaps my machine is missing something required to compile this correctly:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
The error above means that the compiler you are using in your Linux distro does not support the stack-protector flag. Keep in mind that Lineage packages its own supported compiler with the sources if you download all the repos and build a "boot.img" (kernel) instead. The boot.img can then be installed to your device directly from within TWRP as a boot image file.

Start with setting up a build environment and make sure everything is installed.

https://source.android.com/setup/build/initializing

Next, download the source and build the boot.img (kernel).

1) repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-15.1

2) create new text file in .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>

<remote name="ghub" fetch="https://github.com/" />

<project path="kernel/samsung/msm8976" name="syphyr/android_kernel_samsung_msm8976" remote="ghub" revision="lineage-15.1" />

<project path="device/samsung/gts210vewifi" name="LineageOS/android_device_samsung_gts210vewifi" remote="github" revision="lineage-15.1" />
<project path="device/samsung/msm8976-common" name="LineageOS/android_device_samsung_msm8976-common" remote="github" revision="lineage-15.1" />
<project path="vendor/samsung" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung" remote="github" revision="lineage-15.1" />

<project path="packages/resources/devicesettings" name="LineageOS/android_packages_resources_devicesettings" remote="github" />

</manifest>

3) repo sync --no-clone-bundle

4) Build boot.img with the following commands:

export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4g"
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch lineage_gts210vewifi-userdebug
mka bootimage

5) Flash boot.img from within TWRP as a boot image file to replace kernel.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
@ OhioYJ This error message is due to the fact that your are using the default gcc compiler and not the cross compiler. You should run the commands I posted in a single terminal window, especially the export CROSS_COMPILE=[path to the cross compiler]/bin/aarch64-linux-android- command, which sets up the cross compiler for the compilation.

[MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] Thanks for posting guidelines how to compile a complete LineageOS build for T813. Might give this a try in the future. For now I just wanted to quickly test your kernel in relation to wifi consumption.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Hey,

Need some help here and not sure what's gone wrong, I've managed to root and flash custom ROM's before, but for some reason, my S7 now will not let me flash the BL file when trying to restore a stock ROM.

I can flash AP, CP and CSC with no problems, but trying to flash the BL file it gets half way and then the box at the top just goes red and says FAIL!

I've tried wiping everything from TWRP, installing custom ROM's and so forth to try and then restore from - phone is UK on BT Mobile and usually I use the XEU stock rom to reset.

The problem is, I have no carrier signal or IMEI information (I've tried the SIM in a different phone and it's working fine) so I can only presume it's something to do with the BL flash?

Any help is really appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Ok, well, hours of playing I found a SM-G930F combination firmware to flash (COMBINATION_FA60_G930FXXU2ARA2_BoxWares) - this has gotten me into FACTORY BINARY and lots of factory test / setting modes - phone now has it's IMEI number back AND I was able to receive a call from my girlfriends phone...

This seems to be running on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but obviously is not usable as an OS - so I need help to uprade firmwares in the correct order as trying to flash to 7 or 8 just fails in Odin and I can't seem to install TWRP recovery either from this.

I'm on BT Mobile (I used XEU before without issue - until recently!) so presume that's still the correct version...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] werner1234:
Before I say anything DO you have a backup of your EFS folder do that first

Assuming you can only flash the binary 2 combination file firmware ,Samsung has recently updated their bootloader to not allow downgrades , you can only flash Nougat firmware from this year
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Hey, I actually found that from some random spanish forum late last night... so I now have the combination rom with a useless (daily) front end / homescreen running android 6.0.1 but believe the bootloader is locked (from the nice little red error messages on startup) to a more recent version.

Supposedly I should be able to flash a `current` stock firmware then... but cannot seem to flash an AP file over this Combination rom install....

I did manage to download APKInstaller and install Kingroot (TWRP flash does not work - you cannot get into recovery anymore) and some other android apps (phone / sms / messenger) so have limited functionality but better than none for now.

No backups.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] werner1234:
Boot into download mode , flash only the Sboot ( unzip the tar and make tar with only sboot) from any recent stock rom .

in AP put TWRP , untick the auto reboot.

when it passes( unplug phone ) hold the volume done , home power button till phone reboots (screen goes off) , quickly press volume up ,home and power button , you should be in TWRP

The combination firmware do not allow recovery modifications , it will just go in bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
OK, I'll try that when I get home later... lets say it works, what is my course of action then?

I still think I won't be able to flash a rom from Odin just by installing TWRP, so what actions do I need to take in TWRP? complete format ?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] werner1234:
In TWRP make a backup of the EFS and Baseband partitions , copy to memory card .

I learned it the hard way , I ended up buying a second S7 with broken LCD so I can use the board

No box or tool can patch the certificate once you on Nougat as of yet

then you can go back to download mode and flash the AP ,CP ,CSC and phone should boot up , Leave the BL
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Managed to get into stock recovery somehow (wasn't working before) and can see options for ADB sideloading etc again so that's something I guess lol

Presumably, if I can flash the boot file then twrp, I can then install a custom rom (i originally went from 7.0 up to 8 with Pixel Experience and Lineage, before things went tits up)

I'm guessing it'll be a case of formating data / wiping cache and installing the custom rom - assuming the BL is running 7.0 - or am i going to need to try and flash everything again via Odin (unsuccessful so far and only rom that will install is Combination)? also what about the CSC file...?

The only reason I'm in this predicament is because one of the custom roms somewhere (or google) screwed my IMEI settings, but Combination has brought those back.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Hmm ok so the network things I'm on T-Mobile and not BT Mobile lol (presumably because of the EUR flash) not sure if this will have implications when it comes to billing etc (BT bought out EE/T-Mobile but are different businesses still).

So does anyone have a working link to the XEU firmware? XEU-G930FXXS2DRC3-20180329132652 seems to be the filename... I can only find crap sites with 4kb downloads unless you pay $10-$20 lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dreamz2k:
Success - in the absence of an upto date firmware from March for XEU - I found and installed the EUR one - BL everything went straight in and I've booted to setup screen now \o/

In Greek.... OK so hopefully I can just change language and wait for the XEU to surface (or is it OK to use the EUR? I have IMEI everything so looking good so far!)

I will probably flash Pixel Experience again unless someone recommends another over this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] coto39:
As someone said before.. Flash TWRP using ODIN; boot to twrp and make a backup of the EFS partition ONLY. Store the backup in the SD card and then copy it to the pc/dropbox/Drive/whatever. There are no guaranties that you wont loose the IMEI again if you attempt to flash the custom rom again. Then If you want to be on a completely stock rom, reflash the rom using ODIN. If you want to backup the baseband too, do the same procedure again but select only the baseband partition (untick the others)

To download stock roms you can use either the SamFirm tool (google search it.. it is on XDA) or Updato (site). Both of them provide really fast download speeds as there are no caps, and they are free. The files are downloaded straight from Samsung servers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] knebebelmeyer:
i guess i have the same problem like u....cant flash anything...just the combination file like u.....i have the stockrom from march but i cant flash this!! Odin does "Set partition" an do nothing!...

Thanks,

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
'No Command' means you've still got the stock recovery. Flash TWRP again by:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

(Where twrp.img is the filename of the custom recovery).

Do *not* reboot the phone into system, instead scroll down to select 'recovery' and press power button to load TWRP.

TWRP should load now, swipe to confirm modification (important). Now go to reboot>recovery. Allow the phone to reboot back to TWRP. Now you can select reboot>system and TWRP shall stick permanently.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery if the system is booted up before booting TWRP once.

If the volume buttons are broken, then I'd suggest you first copy twrp.img into phone memory, boot the recovery by :

fastboot boot recovery.img

Allow modifications, then go to Install>Select Image (img), browse twrp.img on phone>select 'recovery' and swipe to flash.

Now reboot>recovery and then reboot>system. Now it should stick.

I'd recommend being extra careful if your volume button, especially volume down button is broken. If you somehow end up with a non-booting phone, you'd have no way (that I know of) to get to the bootloader mode.
