[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] aryayush:
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) running Android 6.0.1. I have deferred updating it to whatever the latest version of Android is right now because of the following reasons:

I’d read several people complaining about poor battery life after updating to 7.X.X.

I was afraid to mess with a rooted device and didn’t know where to begin.

It was running perfectly, so I figured, why fix it if it ain’t broke.

However, for the past few months, it has been bugging me constantly about having run out of storage space and being unable to update my apps. I have already deleted several apps that I mostly did not need and—even some I did—to make room, but it keeps filling up the space I create and throwing up the same error every few weeks. This is the current status, according to Titanium Backup:

System ROM: 4.09 GB (399 MB free)
Internal+Media: 10.7 GB (596 MB free)
Adopted storage: 63.4 GB (53.2 GB free)

I’d done the adoptable storage mod because I’d figured it would compensate for the paltry 16 GB of internal storage this phone came with, but it seems there is no escape from the terrible design of the Android operating system in this regard. (Aside: Seriously, Android is awesome, but this is the worst thing about it! It absolutely, positively drives me up the wall.)

Given this nonsense, I figured I should bite the bullet and take a complete backup of the whole system and format the thing, and then restore everything, so that it will let me be at peace for the next six months. I also thought I would take this opportunity to update to whatever is the most recent update available for this phone, assuming that it is stable and free of any major bugs.

So, can you guys please help me with the following:

Is there anything I can do to get rid of my storage woes once and for all?

How do I go about updating to the latest version of Android while retaining root (preferably using a Mac)?

Is there any way, at all, that I can do this update and fix my storage issues without having to format my phone?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my thread and respond.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] papamalo:
1: Use a voice phrase like "OK Google" to open the phone when the LOCK SCREEN IS ON.

2: Be able to take a a picture by telling google assistant to "take a picture" and doing nothing more.

Need a high end hands-free phone that can do these so I do not have to unlock my phone while I am driving or doing other things.

Can someone confirm for me if this video is accurate?

Hi,

does anyone know how to sort out the iPAQ? When I start it up it freezes. Is there a way to "reset" the phone without starting up? I've tried the HW reset button at the bottom of the phone but it just freezes at the same place.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] JuanYavicoli:
Hi, I have a Moto G4 XT1621 bought almost 6 months ago. Never had any type of problem, but two days ago I woke up, saw the hour just fine, and five minutes later I grabbed it to check notifications, and it was dead. The only sign of life the phone gave me was the blinking of the charging LED and the phone vibrating randomly when I pressed the power button. That night, the phone turned on, but the screen was always black, no backlight. I heard the boot up animation sound (the classic "HELLO MOTO!!!"), but the screen wasn't turning on.

Thinking it was a software failure, I've flashed the stock rom via fastboot (the phone connects in bootloader mode, but I can't see the bootloader screen), but the problem was the same: I can hear the boot up sound, and if right after the phone boots up I press the power button, I can hear the lock sound about 5 or 6 times, but apparently it turns off itself.

Sometimes, it can't boot properly; the boot up sound is cut before it ends, mainly in "HELLO MO...".

I really need help, I've tried everything: leave it charging for hours, tried a major amperage charger, pressing the power button + vol down for 2, 3 and for 5 minutes, disassembling it and reconnecting the battery, tried to turn it on without the battery, flash stock ROM, all kinds of wipes, etc.

The phone hasn't suffered from water damage, I didn't dropped it or anything like that. The screen connections nor the motherboard connectors does not presents any damage.

Any help is welcome :D.

PD: Sorry for any misspelling, english isn't my main language :silly:.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Vulnerability:
Could have been the screen or the GPU
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] JuanYavicoli:
It seems weird because the phone didn't have any issues, it just turned off and bye bye. I'm running out of options :(

Edit: needless to say that the phone don't stay that much powered on (5 seconds aprox. for the sound that the lock screen do), so I don't think this is a screen problem. If it was a screen failure, the phone will stay on.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] JuanYavicoli:
Bad/good news?

Almost five minutes ago, I noticed that the screen on the phone is on, but slightly visible, almost impossible to see: you have to be in a fully darked room, and its backlight it's on, but it shows no sign of letters on the bootloader or boot animation whatsoever, it's just backlight.

Any ideas of what could it be? I'm almost decided that I need a screen replacement, but any ideas will be welcomed. :confused:
[Android General] drmad:
Hi, I finally managed to port TWRP recovery, which boot on 9001D. This allows to do the permanent root, to modify the stock rom and possibly to install other roms.

Recovery is still unstable, I need help to make it stable!

Then, now Available for 9001D:

- TWRP

- Root

- Modded Stock Rom
[Android General] KevMetal:
*Could you provide download of your port*

I would like to try to boot it without flashing it

Thank you sir !
[Android General] drmad:
hi, to try twrp you have to flash it,

to do this you must have the rooted device or you have to flash the firmware that I will give you
[Android General] KevMetal:
Mmmm , better to use command

"fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"

If

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Can be dangerous if recovery isn't built from source and the port is bad ...if port works using "boot" command maybe try to flash it ...

But I found another recovery to use as a base for my port , thanks !

*Also my BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED BY VODAFONE*

So anyways my port will be useless...
[Android General] drmad:
Those commands does not work for me, let me know if they work for you
[Android General] KevMetal:
Yes , they have worked for me in the past but on other phones. Your bootloader must be unlocked and remember to use the command without the quotation marks ..""

*You should also rename your recovery to recovery.img AND VERY IMPORTANTLY put it in your adb or fastboot tools root folder.

Then if you installed adb and run a command window BUT FROM INSIDE the tools folder where the recovery image is and run the following commands one by one it will work if your drivers are installed and your bootloader is unlocked

adb devices

*Return a serial number for your phone in window

adb reboot bootloader

*phone should boot into bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

*will unlock your bootloader if you press volume up

fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

*The recovery should boot ( if it boots and you can make a backup to SD card successful ly

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Android General] drmad:
On other phones it works, on the 9001d it does not work ...

But I found an alternative method
[Android General] KevMetal:
Which method ?
[Android General] drmad:
Insert the twrp into a complete firmware from flash with qfil
[Android General] KevMetal:
Mmm very interesting okay thanks for advice
[Android General] drmad:
Let me know if your port of twrp is stable
[Android General] scarabbey:
Hi. Please help to install TWRP on 9001D or to get root
[Android General] true_devil:
You need to use a patched boot.img to get root on this device as there is no fastboot. There are guides online on how to use magisk to patch the boot.img and then flash that to your phone. That will give you permanent root after which you will be able to install twrp. If you flash twro without root or a patched boot it will remove it each time you boot up.
[Android General] drmad:
I'm able to install twrp with original boot.img and after I can get permanent root
[Android General] true_devil:
Can you share the port here so others can try it?

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] kmanilpillai:
Hi

Anyone know how to change the region of china dev rom to India. My google services are not working properly due to chinese location. Eventhough changing the region in google app setting feeds are not working. Also the assistant voice is english-uk no option to change it. And i think the voice recognition is not accurate due to this.

Is there any way to change the region in ROM itself.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
You simply can't. Chinese rom is for china. If you need to change the region, go for the Global version...
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] markstiw:
Try this

Hey,

First of all you have to root your phone.

Then install Prop editor.

Then go to:

/cust/cust.prop

There you will see some codes like

ro.miui.region=CN

ro.miui.mcc=9404

ro.miui.mnc=9999

ro.miui.cust_variant=eu

Now to change to global, you have to replace the above codes with the following codes:

persist.sys.timezone=Asia/Calcutta

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

ro.miui.region=IN

ro.miui.mcc=9404

ro.miui.mnc=9999

ro.miui.cust_variant=in

OR

Change the content of the /cust/current/cust.prop with the values from country specific locale and reboot.

your locale/region will become permanent.

I hope this will help!

- Did you root ?

- Had magisk installed ?

- Enabled Camera2 API persistant ?

if yes then by magisk or adb shell terminal / property files ?

Nope.

Never rooted, Enabled Camera2 api using rootless method and no! Never tried magisk on this device.

Me too since january update to Pie. It's a common bug since Pie update. i'm on stock , no root nor bootloader unlock. That's a pity, camera is not usable since January, cannot autofocus nor manual focus . Only camera 2x seem not to be affected. (already tried factory reset) This topic is popular on the web , but xiaomi seem not to listen us. So sad , didnt want to buy a new phone. I was really satisfied with mi A1 since 2017.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
Its okay if you use gcam as you mentioned, but I dont know why it does in stock cam or instagram. Because when using stock ROM, in my case you can't take full res photos with gcam, u need to take 16:9 photos as there works autofocus.

Can someone please check this out. When you open the front cam you can see that the portrait mode is ON by default. When I switch it off , and than back on, the upper part of the screen becomes dimmer than the lower part.. you can clearly see a line in the middle (separating the upper from the bottom part of the display). I`ve downloaded open camera from the play store, and it never gave me the same problem. Is this an OREO issue, or sth else?

I'm also having the same issue on B361, doesn't affect the photo but it is just a little bit annoying
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Brontok:
could it be a software issue? not many people seem to have the same issue.. or maybe they just didn`t notice it

edit: looks like changing the resolution to 6mpx (16:9) solves the issue. so it must he software-related

Tried again and having the same issue.

Clearly software related, when changing from on to off, line appears. Checking taken picture and returning to camera line is gone. As said already it doesn't affect the pictures.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergeysagan:
Alright so I am so frustrated with this...and I am sure there is a simple solution for it. The screen on my old 8525 got messed up and since it was under waranty they sent me a replacement...the screen is ok on the replacement, but the phone isn't working (shows exclamation point next to "wine glass" rather than signal strength bars).... after hours and several phone calls to tech support, High End Devices waranty dept and who knows where else, it was determined that the current ROM version is incompatible with the AT&T network, I have to upgrade. So the version of the ROM on the replacement is 2.15.502.3 which makes wonder why in the world would AT&T send me a phone that would not work on their network? (I'm really trying not to vent here...) Anyways so I go to the HTC website as directed by the Tech. Support person download the stuff and after another hour on the phone with HTC and every possible sollution that they know is tried still can't install. I am running a Vista 64 machine and after getting around all the Vista quirks I am finally able to get to the Bootloader screen (button combination is: Side button [Ok] + [Power] Then push [Reset]...if done correctly your phone goes to the 4 bar boot loader screen, if not your phone soft resets and you have to try it again...) anyways in the bootloader screen it goes to the installation bar on both phone and PC and goes to 1%, then durring that one percent I get the horrible "ERROR 294 : INVALID VENDOR ID" on the PC and the Phone resets.....No matter how we have tried it it is always the same thing...redownloaded the file 3 times, restarted the phone about a gazillion times and the PC about 2 or 3 times. What can I do? I would love to have Ms Windows Mobile 6, but all I really want is a working phone....can anyone please help?

Some more info for those of you that can help:

On "Device Information" screen here is what I have:

ROM version: 2.15.502.3

ROM Date: 04/09/07

Radio version: {blank}

On Bootloader screen:

In the top (red) section:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
u cant be serious......you got an invalid model ID from an 8525 while trying to install an update from at&t itself.

well the solution would simply be to install hardspl (see the sticky) and then install the update. although there are many other easier and faster solutions i think this is the *safest* way. but then the fact that your radio version shows nothing makes me wonder......maybe a corrupted radio or something, which may or may not be related to the invalid model ID error.......anywho, search the forums for error 294 its probably been discussed many times
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergeysagan:
First of all thanks for your help. So I tried installing the 2.10 - Hard-SPL-V7 and it wont finish the install. I connect the device follow through the installation and when I get to the point where I push Yes on the 8525 the screen goes to the red/green/blue/white bars screen shows

HERM100

IPL-SSPL by Des

HERM100

SPL-1.09.ds

then the Computer shows ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR and the installation stops.... :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
error 260 is an open port error, reboot your computer, and try again, if it doesnt work, try a different usb port, also disable watever firewalls or antivirus software you have
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergeysagan:
Okay so I diabled both the firewall (Windows Firewall) and the antivirus (AVG) and restarted the computer...tried 3 different USB ports...still the same problem....You don't think it could have anything to do with Windows Vista 64 and Windows Mobile Device Center. BEcause as soon as I go into the new Bootloader screen, the WMDC shows that the 8525 is diconnected now...even though it's not. I saw a post on here about installing drivers to get Active Sync on a Vista machine, but the drivers it provides are unsigned and Vista won't let me load them....so what's the next step? And again thank you so much for your help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergeysagan:
Is there any use in putting more effort into this or should I just have AT&T send me a new one?
