WIFI is broken, no way to make it work again, even restoring persist backup from twrp or flashing the original persist

not either deleting file contect of wifi_mac.bin in root/persist

does anyone know how to make wifi working again after TWRP restore of data and system?

differently TWRP is totally useless for backup in Mi A2 at the current state.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DqrKn3Zz:
The only thing that wins 6.0.1 is on battery, for example: I lasted 12 hours, I upgraded to 7.0 and now the battery lasts between 10 and 11 hours, the difference is not much, therefore it does not affect me , in performance I'm much better with 7.0, the UI of 7.0 is better than 6.0.1 and in general use, I'm going by 7.0, it depends on taste. :)

[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iHell:
Today and again I trying to flash out the phone (phone condition still as before)

Going to nearest Cyber Cafe (for better internet connection) which I think there might be some problem with my laptop internet connection / firewall / antivirus

Flashtool - version 0.9.24.4 (latest version at this moment)

Firmware - download from flashtool itself (Xperifirm)

I install all the drivers on the list (which provided along with flashtool which inside the flashtool folder)

Run Flashtool (all data downloaded well from github) and choose the firmware

** I dont really remember which firmware version i used since i have around 4 different versions but i believe its from the one that I downloaded from Xperifirm

I select the right device in DEVICE FILTER

I choose 128k in USB BUFFER section

Flash the phone when requested

And all flash results was ok until the end, but got one ERROR - System.sin error **

I open the phone, blue wave animation around 5mins and Android update showing up

Then the phone working back

Nice ~ :D:D:D:D

** there are not so much things that I can remember because I am thinking to change the path of .flashtool into my external HDD (File > Change User Home) and prompt box tell me to move all the .flashtool folder into my HDD. Then, even I move folder into HDD I cannot close the prompt box. So this is why I cannot remember which the firmware that im using and get the whole log results.

** i still cannot access into the phone to check which OS is it (Marshamallow? Lollipop?) because its asking password to unlock the phone and the phone is not mine (he still doesnt reply to my message which I requesting the phone password).

I dont know what the cause will be for the ERROR - System.sin error

hmm will see how it goes after I can access to the phone
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iHell:
Today Im able to access to the phone Setting,

Checked the OS was Marshamallow and the firmware used 29.2.B.0.129

No problem happen so far..

So I wanna thank to

Androxyde - for the awesome flashtool

Xperifirm - for the firmware

I've been having the same issues with my c5-dual, i was able to repair it using Xperia companion but after a successful repair and use for over a week, it freezes again and stays at the blue wavy Xperia animation forever. this has happened like 3 times over. Please does anyone have any long lasting solution?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] samuraisd:
After a few years, I finally fixed it with Xperia Companion using the software repair and it got back to life. Fingers crossed that it won't happen again. FYI anyone out there still have this issue, try Xperia Companion again first, make sure you have a micro USB cable that works. I had a few of these that don't transfer data, or broken, once I swapped it with another working one, it connects to the windows USB and it detected the C5 USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] m1dge2:
hi,

my girlfriend has lost her pattern and was using the fingerprint all day.

But handy battery was empty and after restart he now wants the pattern.We dont know the pattern and the fingerprint option is no opinion.

While the pattern is active (on a black background ) wich saying 3 more attempts and it will be formated.

The phone is in german language in english i say something like

"your Phone is for your safety encrypted,Draw your Pattern to start the phone"

We have the gmail login, we have the samsung login , we have the finger for the fingerprint. but we dont have the pattern. Were stuck on this screen without any internet connection.

Is there a way to bypass the pattern or flash twrp and then some zip for active fingerprint ?

Phone Info:

Samsung s7

stockrom + stock recovery (no root)

I found a zip named Pattern_Password_disable.zip wich i dont can use because i have no twrp.

i think when i flash twrp i cant use any zip cause the dm verify.

Ok i can do a HARD Reset with odin . but on the phone are 2k+ pictures and videos wich is very sad to lose.

Hope you have any Ideas.

Sorry for my bad english im german.

Thank you very much !

I think you have to do a factory reset. If your Data is synced with the Samsung Cloud, you can restore it very ease
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Domino5:
If your device has enabled option OEM unlock in developer settings then you can flash TWRP in odin, then any root method (eg. Magisk) to avoid DM-Verity then flash that "Pattern_Password_disable.zip" you have found and reboot.

EDIT: to check if your device is OEM unlocked boot into download mode (power + vol down + home) choose continue and see if FRP lock is OFF. To exit download mode hold vol down + power

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sjvirchow:
I own a Galaxy S9 (Unlocked, US version). and I was wondering if a dark theme instead of the default would help my battery life and/or my screen longevity? Currently I'm trying out the "Black Onix" theme from the Themes store. I like it but it has some buggy problems. I also like the default theme but some people have said that using a dark theme would cause uneven screen wear and also that a dark theme would cause burn in more than using the default.

Am I safe just using the default theme?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] 96cobra:
A dark theme will help conserve battery, but it's unlikely that you'd notice the difference in day to day use.

As for the burn in, it's happening (very slowly) all of the time. It happens more quickly when you have bright colors in a stationary position, which is one reason why they have the status bar changing colors in different apps. If you use one app a lot (like Waze for commuting) the orange hazard button will burn in pretty quickly, because it's always in the same spot and is bright.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sjvirchow:
Do you think that just leaving it on the default theme is alright?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
I always use a dark theme but I don't think it saves much battery.

The stock samsung theme is absolutely hideous though so i get rid of it fast lol

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
A BLACK theme will save some battery. A dark theme (e.g., gray) still lights up all the pixels, just not as brightly. A true black background turns those pixels off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Archangel:
Or you can go with a really nice Translucent Substratum theme like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] robertkoa:
I got a long screen time on a new S9 using

● About 25 to 30% brightness

● Negative colors which I like because they are white on black probably save power far fewer pixels.

● Edge lighting off

● Sync only every three or 4 hours

● Location off unless I GPS

I had 2 to 4 bars of LTE all day lost signal due to sim problem for 1 hour then fine.

I think unlocked phones can tend to jump bands for no reason or because they have no VOLTE- ,this is on LTE for voice and data.

Also the battery management function is great for putting Apps to sleep and limiting background APPs.

View attachment 4534989
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
This ^^

Only a "True" black will conserve battery, even if is it one shade lighter than true black, it will still use power, Super AMOLED screens like on the S9 turn the pixels off completely to show true black colours, turning pixels off = that part of the screen is not using any power, but if that theme or wallpaper is even a slight shade lighter than true black, it will still use the same power as a white colour would, off is off, on is on no matter what colour

---------- Post added at 09:24 ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 ----------

I get about the same SoT without doing any of that, my average with 50% battery left is around 3-3.5h, so double that for 100% battery you're looking around 6-7 hours SoT

I thought I read of an app or a hack that allowed for the adjustment of the resolution in such a way that it turned of a portion of the pixels throughout the display and thus reducing power consumption. Does this sound right?
