Hey All

Bit more of a lurker and reader than a poster here, have throughly enjoyed my XDA exec, but after getting an Asus EEE for xmas, i am feeling like i am carrying to much around which all does the same job, and so am looking into getting a smaller phone that just does what a phone does, and leave the wifi and stuff for the laptop, so, as the title says, i'm thinking of selling my Universal.

A bit about ... Geoff ... (as he has just been named)

Geoff is an 02 XDA Exec

Geoff comes with his friends

- Boris the case !

- Suzie the hands free kit (wired) !

- Jones the USB to mini USB charging cable!

Geoff started life on the o2 network, but his owner for some reason likes oranges,

so Geoff currently is running on orange software!

(As stated below, that is the screen protector that is filthy, underneath is clear as a fish!)

Geoffs interests include:

* Connecting people ! He loves to be the go between man enabling people to talk !

* Texting ! He can take inputs on his QWERTY keyboard as fast as you can type!

* Surfing the web, he checks his emails daily !

* Listing to music ! ... His favourite band at the moment seems to be Muse !

Geoffs shining merits are:

* Geoff likes to play it safe, and ALWAYS uses a screen protector, so the screen is immaculate.

* Geoff, considering his life span, has hardly been used. 13 hours of incoming and 9 hours of outgoing calls !

* Geoff has all the other benifits of Universals that you know and love!

Geoffs notable flaws are:

* A slight "ding" on his head he got when he was younger, its not even noticeable, and he performs just as well as any xda !

* Geoffs lunch box (battery), seems to be shrinking in capacity, and while is still perfectly functioning at storing a full days meal (or days life), it would be advisable to buy a new one to make Geoff happy again!

*Geoff has lost his tail (stylus), and its nowhere to be seen :-(

So thats Geoff ..

Geoff has no idea of his current value to others, but is open to offers.

Geoff is also open to receive questions about himself, or perhaps you want him to model some more for photos? or even just to say Hi !

Geoff awaits your response!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mochan:
Hi, I'm interested an Universal (opting to get one over an EEE PC), but I will only buy if you are in my neighborhood, I don't like doing the shipping thing and I don't have online payment methods anyway.

Would you by any chance be in the Muntinlupa/Las Pinas area of the Philippines right now?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
I think it's an issue with all custom roms, microphone is horrible on custom roms.

The secondary mic (on top of the phone) doesn't record sound in Instagram and Snapchat, only Gcam

As for a fix? I have no idea
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] faddys123:
there must be a way to fix it, i dont know why no one is looking into it
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
I've seen fixes for the exact same problem but other Xiaomi devices such as redmi note 3 and 4

I've tried using the same files on Android P beta but that didn't work

The only workaround (a rather not plausible one) is to stay on stock rom until someone knowledgeable can fix it on custom roms
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] faddys123:
any fixes for this yet ?

[AT&T LG G6 Questions & Answers] Chiaomein:

I also need root for my att g6... I'm running 8.0

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] kwiksi1ver:
UPDATE: Root achieved see thread here

I've managed to extract the boot.img from my device using the following steps, but patching it with MAGISK ends up with boot loop.

Here are the steps I've done.

I've unlocked the bootloader using the standard methods. All ADB commands are run from a computer with ADB and fastboot setup.

Connect phone to computer, enabled ADB usb debugging.

adb reboot bootloader

Once the device reboots to the bootloader.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7CIF2-byTW7ERUXFU0XlWFYZQM5hysd/ DO NOT FLASH THIS TO YOUR DEVICE only boot from it. This is a patched Moto E5 TWRP image. It takes a while to boot.

Don't mess with anything inside TWRP.

fastboot boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img

Once TWRP boots from your computer type:

adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img

adb reboot

Once the device reboots and you're back in android run

adb push stockboot.img /sdcard/

This will push the stockboot.img to your sdcard folder

Intall Magisk Manager - https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases/download/v5.7.0/MagiskManager-v5.7.0.apk

Patch stockboot.img located on your sdcard using magisk manager.

adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img

This will pull the patched_boot.img to your computer

adb reboot bootloader

Once the device reboots into the bootloader you can run

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

From here it boots to "N/A" and you get nothing. It just hangs there forever.

From here you can just flash the stockboot.img using the steps below

Hold power + volup + voldown which will boot back to the bootloader

fastboot flash boot stockboot.img
fastboot reboot

Now you're back on the stock bootloader and the device will boot up like normal.

Anyone have any advice on how to get MAGISK to patch correctly? The stock boot.img is ~16.8MB and the patched one from magisk is 12.1MB. I'm guessing that's the issue, but I'm not sure what else to do.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Snearde:
Hi!

I did the exact same thing with ALI, the Moto G6 non-plus. Glad to see that I'm not the only one struggling.

Hope we will find an answer...
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rg_gapa:
Currently my OP3 has LineageOS 15.1 with installed firmware and modem from Oxygen Open Beta 32. Is it really safe to upgrade firmware to the latest open beta (for now it's version 37), as it is suggested at official LOS 15.1 for OP3 thread? Won't be there a problems with, for example, device encryption, which might be changed in firmware packages?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] emuandco:
Always updating my MODEM and Firmware and never had problems.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ianthemojo:
I did try to flash latest LOS 15.1 today with latest OB37 and had an Encryption Unsuccessful error and could not boot, asking me to Format. I actually do not know what was causing the error as I did not try to troubleshoot, but it was the first time I was trying to flash any rom with the latest OB37. Don't know if that means anything.

I always flash OB31, it has better battery drain than latter ones.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ravensfan8448:
Hey guys, I posted on here a while ago about a phone I got from google. It appears to be a pre release developer pixel 2. My schedule opened up a bit recently so I was hoping to take a full backup image of the phone before I send it back to google. My question to you guys is if I should just follow the guides here for rooting, installing a custom recovery, and doing a nandroid backup, or if there is a different process since this phone isn't exactly running the stock pixel 2 OS. Also, looking at the storage on the phone it looks like the system is taking up 24gb of the 32 gb available on the phone. None of the other storage metrics are being used. Would this large of a system file affect anything?

Album I took awhile ago of the phone, I can add more pictures if necessary.

I don't think it would if anything before you root it I would at least use an app to extract the apks for all the apps in the phone for sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] CosmicUnlock:
I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.

How to do it:

Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done. Buy me a beer my PayPal is zktwinner89@gmail.com

This will also root your phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkz:
can you post a tutorial and or screenshot of the phone with root etc cuz I tried this earlier and I got the Bl to flash and ran the FRP unlocker but I did not get root in the process please explain in more detail how you did what you did
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] Brianmagoon:
Yes I would also like some more imfo on this because if this is true, you may have just solved the whole bootloader crap by accident. Will certainly be watching this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkzz:
I already got it rooted I will be posting a tutorial later on today but he is right though, I also rooted using the 2017 eng boot along with the root.bat file, getting major lag and battery drain although I have fixed the lag mostly by using the fixes posted by similar root methods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] madbat99:
Where in that post did it say that process would give you root? It was just to bypass frp. Not one mention of it giving you root. Maybe you need to re read it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkz:
you just made yourself look stupid because it clearly states in the very last line of his post that "this will also root your phone" maybe you need to reread it.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] madbat99:
Sure, I look stupid because of someone's inaccurate edit. What part of that process did you think was going to give you root??? Maybe you should rethink your Android experience. That should have said "will allow you to root with previous methods". Anyone can see. But go ahead and wonder why it didn't. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] reaperlinkz:
sigh, this is my last post on the matter since I am here to share and learn not bash anyone, you replied to my message hoping to gain what? why did you not quote the OP and ask him to clarify just as I did in case you missed that aswell. you are the one who made the mistake not me he did not say that you would need to use previous/other methods + this to get root he said this will give you root so why would I assume i would need to do anything else, I did get my phone rooted using a part of his method but he did not state that a part of it will give you root he said "it will give you root" so anyone would think that nothing else would be needed since it is entirely possible that the FRP unlock could have rooted the phone in the process of unlocking and if you dont know that then you again need to rethink your android experience.

lol how tha hell do you know what it should have said..... I am done here.:laugh::laugh:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/07/zte-fined-1-billion/amp/

tl;dr: 1 billion dollars from ZTE and they're able to trade with us again.

Slightly longer version:

1) ZTE told not to trade with Iran

2) ZTE caught trading with Iran. ZTE fined and told to punish certain board members

3) ZTE caught not punishing said members, the US stops trade with ZTE

4) ZTE and the US renegotiate and ZTE has to pay the US another billion.

Axon 9 when???

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
XTE Axon 9 pls when sir??!?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScaryBugThing:
My guess is that we don't get an Axon 9. They likely missed their window, have a lot of delays starting back up, and frankly even back in business are probably going to transition away from the US flagship market due to the relative lack of success of the A7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
AFAIK ZTE claimed that the Axon 7 was very successful. That's why they announced the Axon 9 to begin with.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kitcostantino:
im willing to bet that the axon 9 was already 80-90% done when the ban took place. the real question is how possible is it to ramp back up and make them presuming they did not lay off all of the staff necessary to complete it now that they can use the components required. who knows for sure when and/or if Axon 9 sees the light of day in the US market. i really really hope it does, but at this point, anything is possible.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pauldow:
Not So Fast...

There's a move in the Senate to block the proposed agreement to allow ZTE to purchase from US companies again.

Link

Interesting how a similar ArsTechnica article puts this exclusively on Republicans when Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) are also sponsors of the amendment along with Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tom Cotton (R-AK).

In the comments, to the Ars article, the author responds to that criticism by saying they needed a short headline so they say Republican senators instead of bipartisan group of senators.

I guess it's better to have a short headline than an accurate one.

I was waiting for the real Oreo version, but it looks like the NFound or Lineage version is the way it will have to be.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Or you can just use the real Oreo version
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
Which is where?

There are 3 versions of the A7 and none have an official and public Oreo release. All we heard about were test versions.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pauldow:
I was under the impression that the NFound version, while produced by ZTE, is still considered to be beta status.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
They ARE beta, but does that make them "fake" Oreo updates? They are real, and they are really good.

The worst complaints I heard were bad battery (In my case that hasn't been apparent) and safetynet not passing, to which there's a fix. Besides that they are probably the best Oreo ROMs out there, with fully working HDR+ (which has been ported since, but still has artifacts on ROMs).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
Installing any of those means modding the phone. Not a normal update. I'm still going to wait and see what happens.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
on a sales/marketing standpoint they'd want to wait, improve and confirm they're still accepted and trusted by consumers before returning to the market with a pricier flagship product
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
Getting sick of the on off thing with this. Not looking like they will be back. Seems there's people in US politics hell bent on destroying ZTE.

There goes Oreo official, and the Axon 9.

This will push Chinese companies to go with Mediatek more now in the short term and I expect more Chinese SoC development even with companies not focusing on that yet. It will hurt Qualcomm long term IMO. Mediatek may reverse the decision to not do flagship SoCs with a bigger Chinese market that will result from this as they lose confidence in supply.

Expect Samsung to try to push their Exynos to other brands and I wonder if Huawei will sell to others?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
The beta sources are a broken mess. The fact that the Devs have been able to do what they have with what they received is nothing short of a miracle.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
Its not over yet.

The senate is trying to get the ban reinstated. But it all comes down whether they can get through with that or not. The bill still has to go through several steps for that to happen.

As of now it might not take that long anymore for zte to get the ban lifted as they already paid the 1 billion dollar fine and now gotta deposit 400 million to an escrow account in a US bank. This would be the last step to get the ban lifted. Zte hopes the money will be deposited on or before Monday.

So that means we gotta wait and see until next week.

Also the white house is trying to avoid getting the ban reinstated.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kitcostantino:
well, at least update servers are back online. its progress.

i cant wait for the axon 9 to be released. come on ZTE. still a good chance at market share from us Axon 7 users.
