[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Rucha:
I'm going to give my P9 to my wife. Before that I'd like to do factory reset all apps+data+settings. Currently I have Android 6 + unlocked bootloader + TWRP in recovery + root.

Is it safe to do Factory Reset from menu Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Backup & reset -> Factory data reset?

Will I have TWRP in recovery + root after that?

Thank you!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
For Factory reset you must first go to stock ROM and stock Recovery, see HWOTA method

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3

If you want to keep TWEP and root, you can just clean Dalwik and Cache from TWRP but it is not Factory resetting

Btw, with TWRP and/or Root, phone will fail OTA upgrades

PS: Don't re-lock Boitliader (if you want) until you go back to stock and make Factory reset - peopke used to soft-brick the phones
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Rucha:
The method you addressed to is only for Android 7. Is anywhere instruction to rollback to stock ROM and stock Recovery for Android 6?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
For MM / EMUI 4.1 you have FullOTA-MF-PV (FirmwareFinder) builds and you can install (reinstall) them through TWRP.

You can also:

- unroot directly from SuperSU

- download your existing firmware from FirmwareFinder, unzip update.zip, use PC app Huawei Update Extractor to extract Boot and eRecovery partitions from update.app

- flash Boot partition (you can do it from TWRP) and then eRecovery (again, you can do it from TWRP or you can do it from Fastboot the same way you had flashed TWRP).

Then you can flash FullOTA-MF-PV by DLOAD method.

Can anyone share with us,

P.S.

Really, please someone who owns it, to share it with us.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ortolan:
I believe when you participated in the Oreo beta test, you have to sign something to NOT TO LEAK the rom before ZTE permits it (someone corrects me if I am wrong). So no, nobody will share with you, because they would have done it if they had the chance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Taffyus:
The phone got knocked out, replaced display, started working but not for very long, replaced battery, works. But, there's a catch it's been recovering for about 24 hours now, what should I do? I have some important files on there :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
What do you mean recovering? You mean in recovery mode? Boot to system. Is it stock recovery or twrp? If it won't boot to system, it's probably fried. Have you tried flashing the stock firmware with Odin?
[Tizen Software Development] TOMillr:
On Samsung's old TV OS is was rather easy to manually backup apps from the TV. Once you'd the app on your PC, you could manually sideload the apps back to the tv. In the end, this would allow users to combine apps from different regions (say Hulu from the US and the BBC iPlayer from the UK) on the same TV set.

Is this still possible somehow on the Tizen-based TVs?

Can you manually download an "official" app" from your tv and push it back to the same or another Tizen TV using the developer account?
[Tizen Software Development] TOMillr:
Anyone managed to do this? Or got access to a rooted Tizen tv?
[Tizen Software Development] TOMillr:
Anyone? Still looking to do this...
[Tizen Software Development] teffd:
Also interested in this.
[Tizen Software Development] Qiangong2:
It *should* be possible.

If you have a USB port on your TV, a USB-A to USB-A cable should work. Plug one end in to your computer and the other in to the TV. Fire up sdb and see if it gets picked up by the computer.

I don't have a tizen tv, so I can't test myself, but it should be similar to other tizen devices

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
I've read reports from users with the Moto z variant (not z play) having successfully applied rootless substratum themes. I've setup substratum and Andromeda plugin to install the Swift black theme and the overlays are installed but I cannot enable them. I have security patch April and aware of Google's decision to disable any custom overlays automatically. The work around was to install an overlay (with Andromeda enabled), reboot, then enable it in the manager tab of substratum. The problem is when I reboot then enabling Andromeda, the overlays don't show for managing but in offline mode they show up.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] cobolmx:
Mine is working with out any problems
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
That's good to hear that it works for our phone. How did you go about actually enabling the overlays? I tried enabling Andromeda first then install the overlays then rebooted to then enabling Andromeda again but the option to enable doesn't show nor show any overlays. Maybe it's the theme I'm using?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] fystrified:
Make sure you did enable selected theme after rebooting
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jujulechti:
Mine is working ?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] yaatzek:
You need to do following:

1. enable andromeda with the script

2. compile and update selected theme (don't apply it)

3. reboot

4. enable andromeda again

5. apply the theme from substratum app

btw [MENTION=5535054]DroneDoom[/MENTION] your substratum app looks different then mine, are you using latest (922)?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
Yes I just tampered with the settings to use night theme. I tried using Swift black substratum theme (Nexus/pixel version) using your method and it doesn't do anything on step 5.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] yaatzek:
Did you granted storage permissions for substratum?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
Yes. I even granted substratum access to install from unknown sources.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] yaatzek:
Maybe it's something with the theme? Did you tried other? Since oreo apeared I use Dejan's themes and everything works ok.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
I tried the nineteen theme and nothing... Actived plugin, build & update, reboot, enable plugin again, enable selected. The overlays never turn green just stay pink and notice no change regardless.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
Something has came to my mind is it possible that an app called "Island" might be affecting this? What it does is creates a sandboxed partition and creates a copy of the system partition for sandboxing apps. I've noticed my overlays copy over to there when substratum has done it's compilation.

The partition runs in parallel with my personal profile while the other is designated as a "work" profile.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] cobolmx:
try this theme Swift Black Substratum Theme +Oreo & Samsung theme that's the one i'm using, also be sure if when compiling see any errors that's why is not applying it, I had some at the beginning, the apps that were throwing where the docs apps , for those i exclude them from compile, after that all went smooth
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] yaatzek:
Well you answered yourself ;)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
Just an update, still not able to activate overlays. I've uninstalled the partition that an app created that I thought was the problem. Reinstalled substratum and tried the process again, no luck.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] yaatzek:
I really don't have a clue then. Maybe ask in official g+ community.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] JonasVFC:
does substratum also applies its themes to google apps? like google calendar?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jujulechti:
Yes it does
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
After leaving this alone for a bit, I finally got it to work. The Andromeda plugin works well with magisk Su and performed the same method as mentioned here in this thread.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ReOmbra:
I cant'use substratum.

I have installed Andromeda and run the script . The andromeda app Grant the acces ( Green) but When i open substratum all show me verification failed.

Have you any ideas

Android 8.0 June. Patch . Stock
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
So you're saying Substratum isn't recognizing Andromeda? You left USB debugging on the entire time right?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ReOmbra:
Yes. I have made It.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
Oh okay you firgured it out. Congrats.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gleb Erty:
Hi!

Several days ago I bought aftermarket Xperia V for experiments and got this infamous SoD bug. This bug is really disturbing and nobody on the web was able to explain it's cause, so I decided to research this strange issue. After several days of testing I found that the root cause of this bug is touchscreen controller, probably due to problems handling deep sleep mode and I2C bus communication. I bought another two LT25i devices with broken screens (whithout SoD), interchanged main boards and voila! - main board from device with bug with other touchscreen/display module works like a charm. It's highly unlikely, that screen controller can lead to such effect, it's a passive LVDS device, but I tried to exclude this possible cause, so I disconnect buggy touchscreen controller flex cable, leaving display connected, and phone works for two days and wakes up many times without problems, no SoD at all.

One more interesting thing: LT25i uses Synaptics S3200 touch screen controller, there are two chip revisions ("A" and "B") and both can be found in this phone, but it seems, that most of stock screen modules using "A" revision and now chinese copies are mostly with "B" revision. Docs about these chips are NDA of course, but I think that both revisions are identical in terms of programming and differs only in some electrical parameters (e.g. voltage range, maximum I2C speed, ADC noise floor etc). In my case SoD was generated only with "B" revision chips, but I have not enough devices for getting reliable stats. :)

Now I try to find, what kind of electrical modifications will lead to SoD elimination (or worsening), I hope I will post new findings later (experiments with SoD takes days, you know, so this cannot be fast enough). :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gleb Erty:
No significant success so far. I have tried undervolting and overvolting touchscreen controller (2.8 volts and 3.3 volts respectively), make additional I2C pull-up to positive voltage, add capacitors to power rail - nothing works, device gets SoD in 3-30 hours of battery operation. Now I do another kind of test: I have desoldered S3200A controller from the broken touchscreen flex and replaced S3200B on working module with A version (this is a really complex task and cannot be done without experience, proper tools, air soldering station and epoxy resin removing fluid, so it cannot be classified as user-level patch) and now I will wait day or two for SoD again. Stay tuned. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gleb Erty:
Glad to report, that phone works fine for three days now, - no SoD at all. :) Seems that S3200 touch controller with "B" revision is the root cause of this kind of problem, so If you order a replacement display module it will be a good idea to ask seller about chip revision and buy only ones with "A" mark. I hope my research will help someone, cheers. :)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a042349:
Hey All,

Looking at picking up one of these phones certified refurbished from Amazon for about $170. I'm wondering what version of Android I can expect OR get automatically updated to when I set the phone up?

I really want (need) some of the features in Nougat, but want to make sure it'll get there without me having to relive my youth as a rom chasing nerd (which I loved but am too old to do these days lol).

Any other advice around this phone (or other similar "cheap" deals) people have will be appreciated.

Thanks much!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
I wouldn't recommend getting a 6P due to the infamous bootloop issue caused by the Snapdragon 810 processor and the early shutdown issue caused by the battery. Also, it only has about 5 months of support from Google left. After that there will be no more security patches, official updates to Android 9.0, etc.

To answer your question: the 6P will probably come with Marshmallow or Nougat and is upgradable to Oreo.

I'd recommend getting a Google Pixel or Pixel XL. It will come with a least Nougat and is upgradable to Oreo. If you MUST have a Nexus device, the refurbished Nexus 6 my dad got from Amazon recently is pretty good. It came with Nougat installed, but that's the newest version of Android officially available for it.
