[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmatt2024:
I figured that I needed the .exe because if you try to flash an official update .zip but the phone system is modded it will fail. So you are telling me that I can flash the RRU .zip with TWRP and it will work?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Please take the time to carefully read the ReadMe thread. You're mixing up a lot of things.

OTAs fail if your phone is modified. RUUs don't check whether you tinkered with your phone. They simply overwrite everything. As said before, there's no real difference between a RUU.zip and a RUU.exe for the same firmware version. If one can be flashed then so can be the other.

And no, you can't flash a RUU.zip via TWRP. RUUs get made by HTC and TWRP is a custom made recovery. They're not compatible with each other. (In other words, you can't flash RUUs via TWRP.)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
I recommend that you unlock your bootloader as there is no reason for it to be relocked. Especially if you plan on rooting it again.

For the zip method:

Find the FIRMWARE zip that matches your current version on the phone. x.xx.xxx.yy where yy can be any number, xx MUST MATCH.

Check the md5 matches before you mess with the firmware file.

Rename the firmware zip file to 0PJAIMG.ZIP and copy it to the external sd card.

Reboot phone to download mode and in yellow writing at the bottom of the screen it should say to press vol up to flash. Make sure the phone is plugged into a charger and press vol up.

That flashes it back to stock stock and wipes root priveliges, flashes a stock recovery, flashes a stock system.

Once back to stock you can accept the ota updates. Bootloader and s-on/s-off have no influence at all. As flippy states, if you leave it as relocked you may encounter issues with google's frp (factory reset protection).

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Nickvanexel:
So last night like an idiot I spilled a can of soda on the table my phone was sitting on. The soda splashed just a tiny bit onto the bottom of my phone screen, only a drop or two.

Ever since I keep randomly getting moisture detected, when I doesn't detect moisture it displays funny behaviour also randomly. After unplugging charger for instance it will there and just loop the doo doo sound it makes when plugging in the charger until I turn it off and reboot. Also detects my charger that wasn't detected as a fast charger before as a fast charger, again randomly goes back and forth between regular and fast charge mode.

Obviously got some into the port and left sticky residue behind even if its already dry.

How can I get this out, is rubbing alcohol safe to try to resolve it?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wakari_mayo:
Put a little isopropyl alcohol and clean it with a thin piece of a cloth.

Has anyone had any success ordering parts from cellularDR.com? I am in Australia and am trying to order the d-pad keyboard, and placed one order which was rejected due to apparent mismatch in my delivery details in paypal and credit card, then placed the order directly with my visa card and was told not to place anymore orders as they would not ship to Australia yet Australia is a valid choice. Is this online shop a scam? Each time they have refunded my money which is ok.. but really need to get this part as i stuffed mine up badly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gigafunk:

Hey man I ordered the d pad keyboard labeled exterior keyboard or something and got it super fast, fixxed my whitescreen. Then i took it apart to tighten slider and the keyboard stopped working and I tracked it down to the cable. SO when i ordered the keyboard I realized that the cellular dr shop was right down the street from me in glendale ca. so I was there today and bought a new cable, they have a nice store and offer lots of phone data services and repair. I am super happy with them cause my phone works!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ause46:
Can you do me one really big favour.. As I am in Australia it's a bit hard for me to walk down to the store. Can you go ask them why the won't ship to Australia ?? Even though they offer it on their website they have told me they will not ship to my location. And i'm not in any remote location. I'm in the capital city. I can't find this part anywhere else unless i take the risk and buy a used phone.

Anyway thanks for letting me know they exist. At least i know now that they pick and choose who they want to sell to.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krivulak:
Hi, I need to reflash this phone (crashed many, many years ago, it was even in service but crashed few months later again, so I just left him be and got another one. Sadly, now I need it as a spare phone since I don't want to use Nokia 3310 meanwhile my Asus Zenfone is in service), but I have giant troubles with it. First was that the sammobile site is shut down and didn't let me download correct file. Thankfully I found the needed file on one of my disks, so yays.

But I have giant problem applying the ROM with the ODIN software.

If I try to send the .tar.md5 file over v3.12 or higher, it hangs on "File analysis..". If I try it on v3.09 or v3.10, it gives me:

<ID:0/008> Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..
<ID:0/008> File analysis..
<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/008> Initialzation..
<ID:0/008> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/008> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/008> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/008> sbl.bin
<ID:0/008> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/008> BcmCP.img
<ID:0/008> FAIL!
<ID:0/008>
<ID:0/008> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

And if I try it over ODIN v3.07, it actually communicates, sends the file and reboots the phone, but since the fields are not the same and I don't know where to put the .tar.md5 file, so after sending it over the PHONE field when I turn it on, it is in bootloop.

Also everytime this happens the phone stops communicating and I have to restart it to do another failed attempt.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] 01000010pcb:
Followed this youtube guide --> How to Root Moto G4 Plus, Unlock Bootloader and Install Recovery!

(his youtube is gizmoddict, xda is restricting the link)

On last step I had to install the zip, and it would reboot into the phone, except it didn't.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If this is the guide in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK2uacpjGwc then are you running stock Nougat 7.0 on your device?

If so, that guide is too old to be useful - the stock Nougat kernel appears to be much stricter with being rooted on and so you must use a custom kernel (e.g. ElementalX or vegito) to root successfully on stock Nougat. If you were running Marshmallow as in the guide, then it should have worked (though depending on the version of SuperSU you flashed).

I would try to copy a custom kernel to your device and attempt to flash that via TWRP, see if you can get your device to boot.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] 01000010pcb:
Yes that would be the link to the video, and I believe it came stock as 7.0 nougat? (not 100% on that)

Currently searching XDA for the custom kernel you mentioned, sounds like it should be easy to get working thank you.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] 01000010pcb:
In twrp and checked on pc to see that there is only twrp on internal storage, attempting to install ElementalX-G4-2.00.zip right now.

It worked thank you (atleast I think it is), currently selecting the MHz for the cpu frequency (obvious choice of stock). Appreciate the help.

NVM not working, now it won't boot into twrp. Not sure what in the world is going on anymore with this phone :/

NVM to that as well, 3rd time is the charm in twrp is back again.

Figured it out I think, it says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" after installing that zip file. Why does it say that?

Ok lineage OS is installed, super happy about it, thanks for suggesting that kernel thing otherwise I'd not have found this. Super easy to get rolling.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] blackroseblade:
Recently purchased two Pixel XLs. Original 2016 ones.

However, reading around on XDA and reddit, there's an awful LOT of bricked/dead Pixel phone reports. Disproportionately more. Considering this phone barely sold 3 million units, that's a scarily high number of bricked phones.

And apparently all of these are being caused by software updates from fricking Google themselves? What gives???

I need to know what steps I can take to ensure I don't brick my phones, and if I do, I can recover them in the future.

Is there anyway to dump their storage images so I can restore if hard bricked? What can I do to make sure if there is a soft/hard brick, I'm ready to tackle it in the future?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pTeronaut:
Based on my experience, I'n not sure that many devices are truly bricked, instead stuck in something like the sleep of the dead.

Yesterday, I put my phone on charge @ 27%, and left it alone for a little less than two hours, to find it with a black screen, not responding to any keypress, incoming calls. Troubleshooting through Google support results in them confirming that it is bricked, but as my warranted ending last November.

Anyway, I left in on charge overnight, and my wife woke me up this morning with my phone at the lockscreen. She held the power and volume down buttons for 30 seconds, and the phone booted up.

Now if after a 12 hour charge, the phone won't boot with a 30 second Power & VOL- combination, then it most probably is bricked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
The volume button doesn't do anything unless your going into the bootloader.

Holding the power button for 30ish seconds on ANY Android device will hard restart the device. I'm only telling you because its more comfortable when you only have to press one button.

That aside, when I got my pixel, I talked friends and family into getting them. A count of 7 got xl/regulars. None of us have any such problem.

I recently-ish got my phone replaced and my old one didn't have this problem.

In a situation like this, it can almost always be solved by flashing stock firmware, which some people are uncomfortable with (leading to them calling the phone bricked). If you were lucky enough to get Google editions, unlock the bootloader now. If they are Verizon versions check the os version and hope it hasn't been updated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pTeronaut:
Regardless, the night before, it wasn't responding to incoming calls, adb, button presses of any length. It was bricked and meet all of Google's criteria for a warranty replacement (if it was still in the timeframe)

When my wife tried the power button alone for 30 seconds nothing happened, only when she held both the power and volume down for 30 seconds did it come back to life.

And here's the kicker: when you force shutdown (or power on from off) using power and volume down, the phone reboots to the bootloader. In this case, it booted to Android, via the "your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] blackroseblade:
So is there any way to recover from these sudden trips? The Pixel is the first 200USD+ phone I've purchased, each phone cost 400 in total, for a grand investment of 800 USD.

I don't want to end up with a paper brick. These phones are purchased in USA but they'll be used outside a warranty coverage zone. It'll be a huge hassle to get them shipped back to the USA.
