[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It amazes me that people complain about Samsung bloatware but don't about Google's. Maps, Drive, Duo, Hangouts, GMail, and so much more! I have yet to own an Android device where junk, including Google's wasn't needed to be removed! A few minutes on how to use ADB easily solves the bloat that user is unhappy with. The Bixby button is easily disabled, a Samsung account isn't needed (I don't have one), and hopefully Samsung will allow us to remap that useless button with Bixby disabled.

Updates every 3 to 4 months seems to be the common theme for most manufactures outside of Google. Updates are good but they can't make up for garbage hardware, like LG's display on the Pixel 2 XL. Flickering is the least important issue with those displays to be complaining about. Uniformity issues, which LG calls a "characteristic of the manufacturing process" and graininess are high up there. Even with Google giving LG tons of money just about every year, LG's mobile division still loses money and has for 11 years straight!

There might be little annoyances with Samsung's updates and implementation but those are easily changed. When it comes tot he hardware though, you really can't beat those Samsung OLED panels and the hardware to go with it.

the 6.0.1 works fine until now, i think the latest update from march 18 is the problem. I have the battery-drain since this date.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Professor1991:
I have a Note 8 which as of late seems to be developing some issues.

Chief of which is related to the camera. I have a SanDisk 128gb Microsd card in it and I save my photos to it. As of late, many photos and videos don't appear on it. In the gallery, the thumbnails appear grey and if I play a video, it just gives an error saying it can't be played back. Many photos appear to be partially processed as in the top 5% looks ok but everything is greyed out. This is quite aggravating as I'm currently in Dubai and I've taken loads of photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Did get buy the SD card from a reputable supplier?

Does the card work fine in other products?

(Many fake SD cards out there, it will show on a computer that you have that amount of memory but most of the files will not save but portray a thumbnai only instead)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I've seen this happen on imitation memory cards where the actual capacity isn't what the card is actually stated to be. With these imitation memory cards (or even flash drives), they will show what the "sold" capacity is but if you stick in a computer & run diagnostics on it with like a benchmark app it will show it's true capacity. Not saying yours is fake but doesn't hurt to check. SanDisk is one of the most faked brands for memory cards & flash drives out there. One of the reasons why I stopped buying them.

Could also be that you sd card is failing or defective. I had a SanDisk in my Note 5 & when it started to get full I was having the same issues as you, photos would show up in the gallery corrupted, part of the photo greyed out. Replaced the card & all was well.

With that said, I would first try replacing the sd card, probably not a phone issue at all but still a possibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I stopped using sandisk cards, the last 2 failed miserably
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
That's the other reason why I stopped buying them. I've had like 3 or 4 in my past phones, they didn't totally fail but they eventually get corrupted & partially unreadable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Professor1991:
I don't remember how I went about buying this.

Is their anyway I can salvage the photos and videos I've taken ? Many photos I've taken have sentimental value so I'd like to recover them if possible.

I've decided to save photos to phone storage (While they get backed up to Google Photos) and move them over to the SD card after a while.

P.S. This is also a fairly recent development. Of the 400 or so photos I've taken, 300 or so are good, it's just the latter which seemingly coming out currupt.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporkabilly:
hi!

after reading all related post in this forum and searching google for ages, i am still not able to unlock my z5c's bootloader. it is not a lack of skills or know-how - i have successfully unlocked my z1c and z3c - but this one simply does not unlock.

i have tried both windows and linux, used shell and flashtool, all drivers properly installed, phone is correctly recognized, bootloader unlock is positive, oem unlock and usb-debugging are activated, phone is in fastboot but i still end up with error "command did not succeed". flashtool additionally shows "oem unlock not activated?". it is, but doesn't seem to have any effect.

i also tried to include the .txt file with the unlockcode into flashtools filestructure: flashtool does something but can't finish the unlock proccess and my phone is not resetting.

i even tried those one-click unlocker without success.

and there is something fishy about this phone: three month ago i got it brandnew from a vendor in china via ebay and first thing i did was connecting it to the pc companion to upgrade the firmware which was 5.1 and it told me, firmware was up to date... so i tried the repair option and it told me "that due to it's prototype status it can only be upgraded from certain ips" - although the phone does not show any hints of being a prototype, neither software- nor hardwarewise and even if it was, it wouldn't prevent the bootloader from being unlocked (afaik).

so you guys are my last hope! any further ideas???

regards,

andi
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trax7:
Hmm... Possibly not the solution but have you tried enabling "Unknown Sources" as well?

Another thing is - you can try flashing a later version of the firmware with Flashtool - one that is common. Afaik there are some versions that have trouble unlocking. Try flashing something like Nordic Unbranded, boot it up, make the settings again.

P.S. Flashing does NOT remove the old leftover firmware - it just writes on top. So you should format the partitions (/system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache) before flashing in order to start clean.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporkabilly:
when i couldn't upgrade the firmware via pc-companion i used flashtool to flash 7.1.1 (some german version) which i kept ever since. so flashing a different firmware before unlocking is something worth trying? i thought of this as well but never actually tried it because i was just too lazy going though all the setup process again if the attempt failed just like the others... but i'll give it a try then!

and thanks for the input!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marmalux:
Hy,

For me i had to make two steps :

- Flash a non-branded firmware from Xperifirm

- Network unlock it (actually for me it unlocked automatically at the end of the warranty ). This step it is critical (as i was informed in the Sony store)

Then the normal cmd command through adb worked fine.

Basically for me the network lock / warranty was the issue that prevented me to unlock the bootloader
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporkabilly:
thank you very much for your Input! but there is no network lock...

what i was going to do was flashing a different firmware and try again - and there is something else i didn't think of: the usb2 connector of my mainboard is blocked by an infrared device to power up my pc by voice command via alexa and a harmony hub. and to still be able to use the front usb ports of my case i connected them with an adapter cable to a free usb3 socket on the mainboard…

so it might have been the firmware, the usb2 port on a usb3 socket or prototype-status that caused the trouble - but i'll never know cause basically i'll give up on that phone since more issues occured… i contacted the vendor yesterday and it seems i'll get a full refund!

i now got my hands on a shiny new galaxy s7 and hopefully i'll experience the joys of oreo 8.1 and lineage 15.1 anywhere soon without the hazzle!

thanks again for your help and regards,

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please make sure you read and understand everything written in the post before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications and must be sure of what it does

This guide is only working on Pace 1!

This guide will give you a way to preview version 2.0.6.12 on your device. The Rom has no OTA, so you'll have to wait for a thread update.

If you like my work you can buy me a cheescake: https://www.paypal.me/JRevenge

P.S The Rom is only in Chinese or partly in English

Guide:

Requirements

Unlocked Bootloader: if you don't have the bootloader unlocked, you can apply here https://nicolasagliano.com/lo-sblocco-del-bootloader-e-arrivato/

Cables: Charging base with NOT original cable (it is very important)

Drivers: It is very important to have the adb / fastboot drivers installed, if you don't have them, follow this guide https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Health: A lot of calm and experience!

Installation

1. You need to download the following package and unpack it in the adb folder (it is normally found in c: \ adb)

2. Connect the Pace to the computer using its charging base and the micro-usb cable (it is very important that the PC sees the internal memory of the device in the exploration of resources)

3. Open the Windows command terminal and enter the following command

C:\adb

4. Once you are inside the adb folder, you will need to enter the following commands

adb shell reboot bootloader

By doing this, the device will enter the fastboot mode (you will notice it from the Pace screen)

5. Now it's most important flash the recovery image, enter the following commands

fastboot boot rec.img

6. Now wait for the device to restart (it takes a few minutes)

7. Now in sequence, the following commands:

adb root
adb remount

8. Now it's time to copy data into the device, typing these commands:

adb push boot.img /data/media/0/
adb push system.img /data/media/0/
adb push md5s.txt /data/media/0/
adb push flash_rom.sh /data/media/0/

Once you have copied the files (system will take a while to copy) you will have copied all the files

9. Enable root permissions

adb shell

10. Put this command in sequence:

cd /data/media/0/
sh flash_rom.sh

11. Wait for the end of the installation and restart with the following command

adb reboot

If you want to have English as a language, partially, after the first start, you will have to give the following command:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.language en
adb reboot

Now the installation is finished! Congratulations!

I thank [MENTION=8047176]Cracklydisc[/MENTION] (Nicola) for contributing to the installation instructions.

I will try to update the post more often based on the release of updates. Also below you can download the updated version of the application (in step with the developer path)

N.B For

[Amazfit] lfom:
Thank you for sharing the files and the info. A few questions:

- Can it be installed over any other Pace firmware, either stock or custom?

- The only files that are flashed are the kernel and system, no other firmware files are needed, like recovery?

- What is the recommended Amazfit app to be used with it? Latest CN version, latest DEV CN or any is fine?

- Finally, the linked AmazIT 2.4.0 corresponds to what Amazfit app?

fastboot boot rec.img error to many link ?? how to fix
[Amazfit] malimukk:
Just some info, fastboot boot rec.img does not flash the rec.img, it just boots the image that you send to the device.
[Amazfit] Armageda:
There are some problems with the flashing files

1. the rec.img does not work correctly, it just hangs in fastboot and doesn't restart the device as root in adb. I used a different boot image to gain root access.

2. the md5 signature for boot.img that is stored in md5s.txt does not match the real md5 signature of boot.img. I manually modified it to get past the check in flash_rom.sh.

3. the command for copying system.img in flash_rom.sh is wrong.

in the file, the command is "dd if=system.img | dd of=/dev/block/platform/jzmmc_v1.2.0/by-name/system bs=4096"

but it should be "dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/platform/jzmmc_v1.2.0/by-name/system bs=4096"

[Amazfit] nhedgehog:
Thanks for your efforts and just a quick feedback:

Running on an international ROM Stratos4Pace v0.1b2_2.3.0.8 my first step was to unpair the watch from the Playstore Amazfit app.

After changing the md5 of boot.img and adopting the flash_rom.sh as stated previously the ROM installed fine (I skipped booting rec.img since I was running a rooted rom [Stratos4Pace v0.1b2_2.3.0.8]).

Paired it with the AmazIt app afterwards, which connects to a Mifit Account I previously created.

Had some problems with setting the watch to english but after a while it worked with the following commands (which seems essentially the same like written in the first post).

adb shell

setprop persist.sys.language en

exit

adb reboot

Lost my previous tracks in the Mifit app since I was before on the international ROM (no regrets).

ROM doesn't have Root!

Edit: Settings - About is crashing my settings, otherwise English translations seem to be working fine.
[Amazfit] JRevenge:
Being an official Rom, it doesn't have root permissions. If you come from an official Rom, you need to install the temporary root of STRATOSfied
[Amazfit] nhedgehog:
I'm a control freak - can I root it myself somehow permanently?
[Amazfit] Armageda:
Since this is an official ROM, no, unless someone find a way to hack it.

You can obtain a temporary root with a crafted boot image, and it will last until the next reboot.
[Amazfit] JRevenge:
Exactly! :D
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
Just one issue, Rom version is 2.6.0.12 instead of 2.0.6.12 :p:p:p
[Amazfit] Hernanis75:
I switch rec.img with Amazfit-mod-recovery.img

changed md5s.txt and flash_rom.sh with the attachments and used the tutorial on the fist post all went well

adb root

adb remount

adb push boot.img /data/media/0/

adb push system.img /data/media/0/

adb push md5s.txt /data/media/0/
