[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MNNR:
Hi, guys , I'm on android 7.0 N , and I want to update my phone to Android Oreo, but I don't want to lose my apps and their progress , How can I make a backup of my apps on the computer directly ? Is there any way, and is it free? Thanks in advance:good:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
So I'm a total n00b at unlocking phones but I was trying to unlock my alltel 6800 and after running the program and following the steps I'm stuck on the screen that is red/green/blue/white that shows the rom info and says USB at the bottom when plugged into the pc. I tried a hard boot/soft etc. and can't find a solution. Also activesync is not recoginizing it. Thanks much for any help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] omair2005:
i believe you have to flash it with a new rom/radio.

download the the newest radio. connect your phone via usb. your screen should be in the tricolor (2.40spl) at this point. run the radio flash.

Download a new rom. do the same as above.

to get to tricolor screen (hold power + camera + press soft reset)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
Yeah i'm thinking I might have to load it from the SD card but I can't find my stinkin adapter so I can format the SD card. Activesync is not recognizing my phone at all.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] justpctech:
it IS recognizing the phone being plugged in if it says USB at the bottom, so just flash a new rom/radio and you should be good.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] madman34:
HOLD, Give a little more info please

OK, before it is bricked, tell us the numbers on the rainbow screen, then if it is 1.6 then run the 2.40 olipro, then new ROM, then radio. It is not broken yet, activesync does not like it when the unit is in bootloader mode so it will not show it, but the RUU will work if you just go forward with it and when done it will get you out of bootloader. If you get confused and lost then being an alltel unit you can put the 1.6 bootloader back on, run the stock RUU from utstar.com, bring it back stock and start again.

I got it fixed and installed the sprint firmware but silly me let it run through the setup and now it's trying to use the spring network. Sometimes I wish i could punch myself in the face..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
Ok so i got no2chem up and running great but I still can't actually dial out. When i dial it says i'm not allowed to etc after a few rings. Is there some way to change back to the alltel network?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
ok now i'm running titan 3.35 but can no longer get active sync which is required to relock the phone. I've tried everything but activesync does not want to work anymore. Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
First of all, you don't relock your phone...you leave 2.4-olipro on it because it's required to boot your phone with this rom on it.

Second, go into activesync settings and make sure usb is enabled in the connections.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] madman34:
get back to Alltel,,,,

You will need to load up the PRL and then do IOTA.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
I'm sorry but i'm not familiar with those terms. I do have USB enabled on activesync though but it never detects it.

From reading other threads I assumed I had to relock it, then reload the alltel rom to get the radio working again. Is there another way?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
I got the factory alltel rom back in and working but it's not letting me make calls still. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wilmheath:
Well i got my phone working finally but now the data line is not working. It says I need a password now which I haven't needed before.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LSHA1980:
I'm missing the bottom of my lockscreen. It's zoomed out so there is no shortcut to camera and I can't see the text "supercharge" when it's charging
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
As subject, my phone continuously returns to the lock screen even entering the correct password.

No matter what ROM I use, it still happens.

And this must start to happen when I restart my phone for the third time. The first time I restarted, everything went normal, entered the correct password, the phone went straight to the homescreen. Similarly, when restarting for the second time, normal as usual. For the third time, this problem is sure to happen!

I'm really frustrated, have changed ROMs a dozen times, but this problem still happens. Because of this problem, I can't secure my phone with PIN, pattern, fingerprint or anything else :(

Any help and advice will help me immensely. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] marcukial:
You can try formatting data if u haven't already.:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
Already do it. Doesn't help :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] aha360:
I think he is referring to performing a "FORMAT DATA" wipe that prompts you to type in "yes" in TWRP.

If you tried that, and you're still having issues, then I am lost for words.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
Yeah, already did it. Nothing happen, my problem never gone. Till now, i'm not using any password or pin, only can use swipe up to unlock, this is the only way, im losing any features to secure my phone :(

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
Yeah..I'll try it. By the way, do yo know why that problem can happen? Whats the problem come from?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Jilano34:
I'm experiencing the same issue, and I have no idea why it happens (using Cardinal 5.6.1 with Agni 12.9 & magisk). I used Agni toolbox to suppress login data, so I can unlock my phone with FP but it's not locked... I'll try the fastboot later, maybe it'll also fix GPS (not working with maps in a weird way).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] emmanuelo7:
Also you can flash the password reset zip and re enter youn pin lock.

I already have the zip, but it only serves to remove the password so that the phone can be accessed again, I create a new password again, the problem appears again, the problem must appear on the third reboot. The point is, the zip is just to remove the lockscreen password, not to eliminate the problem as I described above. Thank you for your answers by the way.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] dawidsoo:
I've probably solution for this problem.

When you install a rom, you must install rom then eventually gapps, after this kernel and magisk (stable 16). Working for me.

Before i tried this, i tested only custom rom and kernel. Rom and kernel were work perfectly, then i add magisk. Still no problem. This time i tried install again custom kernel, and after three reboot i cannot unlock my phone.

I format data, and wipe all partitions which were on phone, without of course sd card.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
So, exactly steps to install rom? Give me the right order between rom, gapps, magisk, and custom kernel.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] dawidsoo:
Rom > gapps > kernel > magisk
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] putrazperdana:
Ok. I'll try. Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Without fail, when running the latest twrp, I get an error when flashing different rom zips. It's always the same error during step 1 and sometimes during step 2. I am on slot A when flashing the room, by the way.

The error just says it can't flash, there is no error code or description or anything like that.

When I was able to flash a rom, I tried to reboot into B for the vendor image, but none of my files were viewable, only folders with numbers and letters.

I'm confused, and I'm not a noob. I came from the regular Pixel and I was able to flash no problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Is this when you fastboot into twrp, or do you have twrp already installed? Have you tried disabling screen lock before you enter twrp? And I assume you've run both bootloader unlocking commands as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
This is when using skipsoft.

Do I need to run the critical flashing command manually or something? The reason I ask is because I'm not sure skipsoft does that.

I'd love to be able to flash alll this stuff without even using twrp but I'm not sure that's possible.

So I boot twrp, wipe and flash the ROM. But it fails right there. Is there a step I'm missing?

I do know how to flash individual images thru fastboot by the way, like when going to stock. Here is where I did do the critical flash command.

No I haven't tried to disable screen lock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Typically you need to have fully unlocked the bootloader with these 2 commands...

fastboot flashing unlock

and.....

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Especially the critical, or else you won't be able to flash any roms. I don't know if skipsoft will do this. I know the Deuces scrip will. To find out what is/isn't unlocked run.....fastboot getvar all....

Then you'll know. If you have to unlock critical, which I think you will, it'll wipe your phone completely. So backup your files and such before you do :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Any manual methods that work? I mean to flash the roms.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I believe there is, but I can't find what it is. I think it's adb push (name of file) or adb sideload through twrp, butI could be wrong. Either way, you first need to be sure your fully bootloader unlocked before you can flash anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Ok I almost forgot.

When I first unlocked the phone I was able to flash Nitrogen, both the ROM and twrp. But when I rebooted recovery to get to slot B, all I saw were various numbered and lettered folders. Looked like registry folders for Windows.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Well that changes things a little. You at least have unlocked one partition then. And you can update factory images via fastboot? If so, then your fully unlocked. So you've got a twrp decryption error on slot B. You may want to disable screen lock security, and try again. You could also try fastbooting into twrp as well with screen lock also disabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Thanks. I'll try that out later.

But after I was unable to get into Nitrogen, I flashed stock manually and tried it all over. From this point I kept getting error after error in twrp.

After the errors, I got the Device is Corrupt screen, and freezing on the Google splash. From there I'd have to again start all over.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Again, run the.....fastboot getvar all....and see what you get :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Alright. I'm all unlocked and I disabled any sort of screen lock. I'm trying to flash Nitrogen now and seeing what happens...

and it failed again. I'm at a loss, I've never experienced this before.

The error is "updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip........

Trying again because why the hell not. Maybe I'l try another TWRP version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Are you using the latest twrp from here? https://dl.twrp.me/taimen/

Also, you might want to try fastbooting the factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file to slot B. Then fastboot into twrp and try again. You will not lose any data by doing this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
I've read up on how to flash stock images without formatting data, but how would one flash directly to a particular slot? The only way I know how to get into a slot is through TWRP, but aren't there adb commands for this as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
In fastboot mode run...fastboot --set-active=a or b...

In your case select b.

Then, fastboot reboot bootloader

Now your on slot b, and can fastboot the factory image :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Jesus christ. I'm in a cmd window right now, with the latest platform tools installed.

I ran the command just as you typed, (I'm in bootloader, bootloader version tmz20j by the way). Also, my bootloader version has changed a couple of times during all of this. It was tmz20bb, then tmz12g when I flashed the latest June image...now it's this 20j version.

Anyway, this is what I'm typing and this is what I get in return:

fastboot --set-active=b

fastboot: error: Device does not support slots

I'm at a real loss, obviously this damn device supports slots.

EDIT: OK hold on, when I flashed the June image bootloader version, ran the slot command in ADB, I was able to navigate to the right slot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevew84:
Little update.

Followed this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/slota-b-how-to-flash-roms-magisk-kernel-t3754175

Rebooted into slot a and the touch screen stopped working. So now I'm going back to stock yet again. Just leaving it that way for now I can't deal with this crap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Fwiw, after you flash a rom and twrp, if it doesn't boot up, go back to twrp and flash the rom and twrp again. Flashing roms or taking OTA's automatically switches slots on you. Always best to keep screen lock disabled until you are done.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Well it's written in the linked post.

The reason why heat CAN help is explained here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65511137&postcount=2

It will not help in all cases and its highly risky and I wouldn't do it personally but many reported that it helped them out. Toxic fumes in an oven is nothing I wanna have though...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuedasLocas:
Because the problem seams to be the nano-weld between the main board, processor and ram.

So, when the area is heated over 100º (if I good remember...), and we apply pressure, the defect/broken weld gets re-welded, giving back the contact to the different components.

Someone corrects me if I'm wrong.

BTW, I don't advise to use the oven. Better a good hair dryer or a heating gun. Take care to don't heat too much. Better try several times increasing the temperature until it works, than fry the main board or other components.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aha360:
The reason for heating up the mainboard is obviously mentioned by others here. It is done to REFLOW (reheating the solder to help better join the components together) the board, thus making it work again. Some folks also add additional things like a super-thin copper sheet and a super-thin thermal tape to help better deal with heat management, and prolong the device.

If you're going to reflow it, better use a heat gun, or a hair dryer for a very long time if you don't have a heat gun.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sisine:
Another thing please , is storage chip integrated on the main motherboard , you know just in case the heating thing doesn't work , i would definitely go for another motherboard to save my precious data !

Take care while heating the cpu. Create some kind of barrier with something to avoid damage on other components.

Hello

I just bought p20 pro

But performance is really bad

Software lag too much

Facebook app lag too much

I'm feeling like I'm using samsung note 4

How to fix this problem?

Phone is great

Camera is great

But software is ??? in term of performance
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
I just recieved the p20 pro about 3 days ago. I uninstalled or disabled all the bloatware and now it runs fine but not nearly as smooth as a oneplus or a pixel phone.

You will notice a very small stutters here and there in apps but nothing bad nor does it ruin the experience.

I use Friendly instead of FB because its very light weight so I don't know about the performance of FB.

Huawei does need to further optimize EMUI though
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] tsiglas:
I came from Samsung s9+ and I can say that p20 pro is same or just a little faster than s9+... I haven't notice lags in Facebook or. Any other apps...

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
Your going from a heavily skinned UI to another. The performance isn't bad but its not as smooth as a pixel\oneplus and it'll probably never be quite on that level. I still think EMUi needs some work, Its a little cluttered.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Optimize? How about throwing that gingerbread looking iOS wannabe in the garbage and giving us something closer to Android? Well, I said my piece.???

No my old s9 plus run smoother

And facebook is alot faster and smoother

Software optimization very bad
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] spindowski:
Did you take the device or a test-drive before purchasing it? For me personally it's very fluid and more responsive compared to a S9 but have to agree that Facebook scrolling stutters quite a bit.. I'm confident Huawei will keep optimizing EMUI and within a month or so we should see some significant improvements to hardware-software related GPU optimizations.

Upcoming .131 update seems to specifically focus on a smoother experience and reduced power consumption.
