I'm new to trying to understand Android phones sources, but to me it appears that this is insufficient. I can't find anything that resembles what I understand to be a device tree or the relevant make files. Also, it appears to be quite incomplete, certainly nowhere near the full android source tree. Does it even include all the copyleft source?

Hi, (i have an O2 xda atom exec)

i have installed WM6, (the pdaviet ROM) camera was working, then one day just like this it froze and not working at all, each time i try to put it on, the pda is blocked and have to reset...

if someone could please advise me.

thank you
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] japa78:
if you are a serious user dependent on the pda for daily work just go back to the original WM5 ROM from o2. New ROM's are for trials and to keep your thrill alive.WM6 is not recommended on Atom exec.reflash your ROM and it should be ok.See my thread for the same problem I had earlier.

I'm going to make SPflashTool working. I have some issue
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Thanks for your enthusiasm but my method does not Unlock the bootloader so you should change your thread title.

As I told you I will open a thread when the method is fully tested by a few advanced user's who are testing it now and you will be given full credit for all your help.

I do not want to risk anyone bricking their phones due to rushing. Many none advanced users bricked their sony c4 phones by Not following my instructions so I need this to be 100% clear and fully tested I hope you understand.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Riadh300:
I understand you [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION] by flashing twrp bootloader will automatically unlocked !
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
If the bootloader was unlocked fully you would be able to use fastboot to flash the device but we cannot so the bootloader is still locked to all intense purposes.

The secure boot chain does appear to be broken so we can use SPFlashTool to flash and boot our TWRP recovery but the secure boot chain may still be working if you have never unlocked the bootloader before like on Android 7.x. This means TWRP may Not boot up for everyone. Like I said it needs to be fully tested.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Riadh300:
Thanks for this informations ! ?
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
Actually, spflashtool bypasses the bootloader in this instance, so the bootloader is untouched and you still flash twrp

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

Not to be pessimistic, but you do realise that even with all your precautions,people will still not read properly and will still brick their phones, no matter how many precautions you take. Even if you had an app that requires you to click one button to do everything,there are still people who will do it wrong. That said I think I know of one or 2 people in this Nokia 3 forum who were able to recover their phones using spflashtool AFTER the phone couldn't even be detected by their pc, even OST flashing was not possible .

Another thing is, all the Nokia 3 is last year's phone, I wonder how many experienced users will be buying the phone now, and experienced people are probably not the best way to get something 100% tested, because they know the right steps to take.

I think you should make your method public after you hear from SkaboXD
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Sorry I replied to your PM before seeing this.

True there is no accounting for people but I don't want to get bogged down by noob's. If you and maybe SkaboXD would like to open a thread and manage it using the method then that would be fine by me as long as credit is give to Riadh300 the original tester and who informed me SPFlashTool still worked and myself of course. :o

Please read my PM about the bootloader condition as I recommend only previously unlocked devices try this for now until tested by Advanced user able to recover the device should anything go wrong (EFuse Blown).
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
Alright I understand your point now. One thing I wonder though is: would someone on nougat who has never unlocked bootloader be able to flash ost?

Just checked my phone, oem unlocking was set to off so you're right, your method doesn't actually affect the bootloader.

I actually don't mind posting your method and giving you guys the credit, I just thought that you would want to be the one to do so.

Anyway I'll wait to hear [MENTION=8005568]SkaboXD[/MENTION] thoughts before I decide on whether to put up the post
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Before on 7.0 I flashed a TWRP I was working on via SPFlashTool bootloader locked and ended up in a never ending recovery bootloop which none advanced users may find difficult to get out of now this may of been because I screwed up the TWRP or more likely because the bootloader was Locked.

I did not try any other TWRP's until I was bootloader Unlocked and I have not had the recovery bootloop since.

Not sure about OST as SPFlashTool is by far the best tool for MediaTek devices and recovery of said devices remember the SoC manufacturer knows best and I only ever see problems when the OEM's try to move away from it like Sony did. :mad:

Happy for you to take the lead I am too busy in other threads to worry about it :D
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
So how did you get your phone back anyway?
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
I will lock bootloader and try this method of rooting. I think that is this the best method because it doesn't affect bootloader so you can have OTA updates. Just what is the root manager, SuperSU or Magisk?

I think that we could make a thread when this mehod is tested on both Nougat and Oreo with locked bootloader. As far as i read, Oreo is tested so only Nougat remains to test.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
:laugh: Sorry mate this is what I mean. I simply don't have the time to sit answering every single question as there is no short answers :(

I hope you understand. :o
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
OK, one thing though, before flashing the recovery you might want to do a backup of the stock recovery if you don't already have one. That's what I did, so after I got root, flashed back my stock recovery. Magisk is the root manager ,

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

oh you mean you went through hoops to get your phone back? I thought you would say you got a stock recovery somewhere and flashed using spflashtool or used the ost method. I didn't actually expect you to outline the steps you used. BTW, first time I flashed twrp AFTER unlocking bootloader, I got stuck in a recovery bootloop too. I had to flash my phone with OST then retry the process again.

One other thing, I think OST is actually a propriety software that is supposed to work for lots of phones, at least I know that users of other non mediatek Nokia phones also use it to recover their phones (with the corresponding stock images of course)
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Magisk hide allows you get OTA's see the Magisk thread and yes it will work on any android version.

[MENTION=8745197]redweaver[/MENTION]

I am glad you got out of the loop but your clearly a more advanced user hence why I ask you to test. :good:

The OST is very convoluted for use on MediaTek devices and is very unnecessary it also requires unnecessary FIH software to be installed on the phone to work properly.

They likely choose this method to work across different SoC's but it's not what MediaTek use SPFlashTool is MediaTeks own software.

EDIT: Sorry lost internet for a while then.

I continue: Good news is I do not think they will be able to remove SPFlashTool use as it's binary on device which lives on a none volatile area ram chip or radio chip and is loaded at the factory so I doubt it can be updated via a OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Sony actually replaced this and this is the only device I have been unable to recover and even Sony were replacing the boards of bricked devices but if they had left the Mediatek binary in there it would not of been a issue as SPFlashTool would of been able to recover them. :good:

oem unlock toggle, check, adb debugging, you and i know the drill, no driver/cable issues

cannot for the life of me unlock bootloader, this one would take the newer command, however i tried them all ive come accross to no avail

output encourages me to unlock first, howwever not a clue is given as to how to accomplish it. this isnt the flash a file type of unlocking, either, at least not oem provided. going nuts.

go ahead and feel free to issue "advanced" directions (meaning, like your voicemail, instead of "for voicemail configurations press 8" and just "configurations 8" ;)

I am trying to understand how you boot from droidboot to a SD card or via USB. I'm willing to try some of these because they do not evolve flashing a recovery which does not match mine. I also found a CWM recovery for the memo pad 10 FHD but whats the point without a new rom. If I can boot linux I could boot x86 android.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] squirvel:
I have an acer w3-810 with some (fairly buggy) uefi firmware.

Since this is a windows device I've been able to disable secureboot and play around with unsigned uefi programs. If for some reason your device doesn't disabling secureboot, you might be able to change the variable in your firmware file via uefitool (popular in the bios modding / hackintosh community) and then reflash it if there's no signature checking pre-flash.

On the linux side I've basically gotten no where. The graphics module / kernel params should be set up similar to cedar trail (from my basic research clover is just a lowend version of cedar). But unfortunately that doesn't get me anywhere. Disabling uefi via the kernel param noefi or disabling uefi runtime services gets the display to spazz black and white lines. Going to try to compile a custom kernel later though and see if I can get preboot early efiframe buffers working for earlyprintk.

Interestingly the tablet (through some trickery (force it to boot to a non-present device)) will let you switch the graphics mode of operation between pci and agp
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Brokk:
Let me start by saying I am not a fan of the curved edges. They make everything more complex without adding anything of value "to me".

So I have shut off any phone function that uses the edges and now I'm looking for a case with sides that go up high enough to actually offer protection to the screen. Every single case I come across is high enough on the top/bottom, but then dips down for those long sides, meaning most of the time you put the face of the phone against most surfaces of any kind, the contact is against the screen rather than the case. A recipe for breakage/damage.

Please tell me someone makes a case with higher sides to protect the phone even at the loss of the "edge" functionality?

I'm not looking to wrap up my phone in bulky armor. I just want a lightweight case that offers protection and still allows wireless charging.

When I press "start" the video seems to load for a second, then the screen goes black with a "open menu" command, which show the a small size version of the working screen command as it would do normally would do, when it was working well.

There's one thing I miss about the Windows smartphone I used before the Galaxy S9 ... when I used my Bluetooth hearing aids off of it, the built-in speaker would always turn off. This meant that in a movie theater, I didn't have to touch anything -- only I could hear any sound coming from the phone.

But with Galaxy, the sound comes out of Bluetooth AND the speaker when the phone rings (it still turns off for video files). I've looked high and low in the system and phone settings for a solution and also activated the developer tools to no avail. Isn't there a way to accomplish this ultra-simple goal?

Thanks ... that did the trick. There are options under "scenarios" to plays sounds through the headphones after switching to vibrate mode and to switch to vibrate mode when headphones are connected.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tupi311:
Yesterday I had the excellent idea of rooting my phone and installing a custom ROM. The process was quite easy though it took me like 2 hours. After I was done I found that I didn't really like the Lineage OS on my M8 as it was draining my battery way too fast. So I decided to go back. This is where the problems began. Since being a total noob when it comes to rooting and flashing on Android I had no idea I had to make a backup of my OS(only did one of my data using HTC Sync Manager). I was able to find one online in the end. But when I wanted to update OTA to 6.1.0 it just boots into Recovery Mode. After some research I found out that I also have to flash a stock recovery file. I allegedly did that using a tool I found online (One M8 All in One Kit 2.0). But still I am unable to update OTA. I just want to go back to Marshmallow.

Would really appreciate some help here guys

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You could just run an RUU to get back to stock, since you already flashed the stock backup and have lost data now.

What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader? With that information I can link you to the proper RUU
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tupi311:
6.12.401.4

I don't quite understand how this RUU works. Will it still say in bootloader "Software status:Modified" after I do this? And will I have to unroot it again or how does it work? Cause it still says Unlocked in bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
The RUU will take you back to stock unrooted.

I forgot to ask if it said S-On or S-Off in your bootloader. I'll give full instructions for both.

Download this RUU.zip and place it into your adb/fastboot folder

Boot to bootloader and plug your phone into your PC, then get into fastboot

If you are S-On, enter fastboot oem lock That will relock your bootloader. If you are S-Off you can skip this step

Then: fastboot oem rebootRUU wait until the phone boots to a black screen with HTC on it

then fastboot flash zip **drag and drop the RUU.zip here**

When the flash is done, fastboot reboot and you'll be back to stock, unrooted
