You mean magisk version? What theme(s) did you install? I've never used the magisk version of substratum, but I know on the play store version, it gives options for a ROM to compile the theme for, i.e OMS, LOS, Samsung, 'others' etc. I tried 'others' on the play store version with the swift black theme paid for on Oreo, but that didn't work.
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
I don't remember exact names but I found some that worked that also worked on the Aristo and LG K20+. I've always used the Xposed Substratum because it works better than the Magisk Frameworks with being system less and all. I'll get you a list as soon as I can. But right now I'm Porting Resurrection Remix for our phone, and I think it's gonna work. I just gotta take care of the meta-inf.
[Android General] li0nh3art3d:
I wasn't able to find an xposed substratum. Do you have a link where i can find it? I already tried searching Google & the Xposed module repository
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
New port!! Resurrection Remix. I got it to boot up after porting but the Wifi isnt connecting. Ill try replacing the libs for it. I'll have it uploaded later.

11. Type this:

fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot will say this will wipe your data. Tell it to continue.

Now we need to erase the userdata and cache partitions to prevent fastboot from encrypting them.

Ok first question applies to above. thia is the message i get when i follow your instructions: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock

...

Ive tried everything that i could find in the forums and this is what i get.

12. Now that you are unlocked, flash the rooted boot image. Depending on the file you downloaded above, type:

fastboot flash boot 10K_M171_EVD.img

or

fastboot flash boot 10L_M173_EVD.img

or

fastboot flash boot RB_M171_EVD_A2P.img

or

fastboot flash boot RB_M171_EVD_K8P.img

You should see:

Im hoping that you can help becasue its driving me crazy. IThis is the first phone that ive tried to root that keeps blocking me.
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
Is your sync cable sturdy?
[Android General] Reckless459:
I've tried 3 different cables. i have one more i can try, but I've flashed on the one i have plugged in now i did my stylo 2 with it.

I'll let you know if that cable works or not.
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
Maybe it's not the cable. Maybe it's the driver or the fastboot authorization. Trust me I had all the same issues as you when I first tried to flash. Try renaming the Img to boot.img and make sure it's in the ADB folder(of course).

If your in fastboot try this:

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then for recovery do the same:

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Android General] tecknight:
Try flashing recovery with the TWRP image. If it works, then go here and start with step 10:

[Android General] Reckless459:
That was the first thing i did when i starrted this journey. I can't for the life of me figure where its gpoing wrong. I've tried every root thread, every usb port, and every usb cable i have. I know I'm new to this, but this will be the 6th phone I've rooted, and the second aristo 2. Is there some kind of encryption or security feature I'm unaware of. If it helps this phone has the Aug. 2018 security patch and running 7.1.2. I hope theres something that works.
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
The security patch wasn't anything special. It was fairly small and it had to do with the frp bypass.

Okay here are some steps that might work:fingers-crossed::

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

Then Download TecsAristo2rootv4.zip from here

Extract boot.img and system.img from the zip and move to your adb/fastboot folder.

Then type....

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If it dosen't work restore it with LGUP
[Android General] Reckless459:


Ok these are great options. Sorry i missed the earlier one i would've rried it last night. Im go na go give these a shot ?
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
Essentially your flashing the custom rom manually through fastboot instead of trying to get TWRP first. I figured that maybe the boot.img isn't going over because of encryption policies. So I tried it on my phone with the update. I was able to do the root both ways, flashing system img and boot img and just flashing boot.img.

The system.img in that rom is already rooted just make sure the boot.img is with it because of encryption it won't boot without it. When your in the ROM you can download Flashify and install TWRP that way.
[Android General] Reckless459:
Ok so the good news was it allowed me to flash recovery, but wouldnt allow me to flash boot or system. i just loaded stock firmware, and I'm gonna try to see if TWRP stayed (I'm pretty sure i read it doesn't somewhere). I think we're on to something though. hade i used something to deal with the sparse error i may have done it, but i was lazy. thanks for all your help i was about to sell this phone and move on to my bricked moto e4.

[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
Is your download mode working enough to reflash the Aristo 2 firmware

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Okay so try to get TWRP to install again because the firmware restore replace TWRP with the stock recovery. I can help you a lot more. With TWRP you'll be able to flash one of the ROM's or should be able to anyway. Make sure to redo the steps from my last comment and tell me when you get TWRP installed again. Also in TWRP make sure to advance wipe the system/data/Internal storage partitions.

If all goes good you should be able to sideload the ROM zip to your external storage and flash it.:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] li0nh3art3d:
Yeah TWRP adb sideload saved my ass. I don't have a microSD card yet, so when flashing the boot. Img caused a bootloop, I had TWRP and I was able to adb sideload tec's rooted rom zip file straight from my PC, and boom, everything works perfectly now.

Any word on when the oreo update is officially coming? I miss using substratum themes I had on my oreo pixel 2. Picture in picture was a nice feature too ? also, apps install much faster in oreo for some reason.
[Android General] tecknight:
So what happens when you try to boot to TWRP ?

ie:

12. Remove the battery from your phone and disconnect the USB cable.

13. Re-insert the battery.

14. Hold the Vol - on your phone and press the power button.

As soon as you see the LG logo, quickly release and repress the power button.

Hold both buttons until you see a Factory Data Reset dialog.

Release both buttons and use the vol keys to highlight Yes.

Press the power button. Now use the vol keys to select Yes again and then press the power button.

Your phone will now boot into TWRP.

Note: If you boot into TWRP and find that the touch screen is not responding, you may have a bootloader from firmware 10L try flashing this TWRP image instead:

TWRP with 10L kernel:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...63190603862817
[Android General] tecknight:
Do you still have download mode ?

Remove battery. replace battery. connect USB cable to PC.

Hold VOL+ on phone while connecting other end of cable to phone.

Launch LGUP.

select PARTITION DL and Aristo 2 kdz, select All partitions
[Android General] Reckless459:
Ok so it went right to TWRP I flashed your TecsAristo2rootv4 totally forgetting I had extracted the system and boot.imgs from it earlier and it brivled the phone linda. It still allowed me access to two where I ended up sideloading your file (the complete one this time) to get an OS on the phone and it works great. Better than before honestly.
[Android General] tecknight:
Glad to hear it. That ROM is 10K based and it flashes all partitions to the right version.

BTW, what is brivled the phone linda ?
[Android General] li0nh3art3d:
I'm almost sure they meant to say *bricked and *voila

Question about v4 - I'm running 3a with no issues at the moment. What's the difference between 3a and 4? Is it worth flashing?
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
v4 has a better updater-script.

Also I think the Update is out for Oreo.(It's not in the new ROM but I got word that someone saw a new OTA Update.)
[Android General] li0nh3art3d:
There is an OTA update available but it's for the october security patch (L)
[Android General] ivangajic:
MetroPCS Aristo 2 10K sim locked, with "Device Unlock App"

bootloader is unlocked, twrp recovery and Magisk 17.1 is installed

can I install v4 rom and unlock sim?
[Android General] NonStickAtom785:
Well did you try unlocking it with the Device Unlock app? It Tec's v4 ROM is just a modified complete stock ROM with root access and a couple pre installed modules.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Thanks for the note. I'm never installing the 10L version. To many issues happening.
[Android General] tecknight:
I agree. That's why I based my ROM on 10K.

FYI, I am working on a TWRP based discovery/recovery app.

The app will check a number of partitions on the phone.it will check your bootloader version and will check your boot, recovery and system images to try and determine if everything is in sync. It will then display details about what is loaded on your phone. If it detects a problem, it will recommend a solution to fix your phone and will try to recover the phone if the user confirms. If anyone wants to alpha test it, PM me.
[Android General] tecknight:
Yes you can if you like.

v4 contains the device unlock app and full SIM support.
[Android General] gael97:
Hello. I'm interested in helping out. I'll test whatever you are working on. I've been following your tutorials and using your rom. No complaints here. Extremely satisfied with your work and dedication.
[Android General] tecknight:
Great !! I will get it to you shortly.

Just working out the minutia of how to break apart the bootable partitions for analysis

and also how to enable some form of interactivity while running an edify script. or even when running a shell script from an edify script---it appears to run the script, but ignores any un-redirected stdout output and input (from keyboard) commands

Thank you !!
[Android General] tecknight:
I looked at your update .zip. It's not oreo, unfortunately.

Once oreo does come out, it will be of this page within an hour:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] johnny tsunami:
My question is this, I believe that after an update or so ago when I answer a call, the screen turns off way too quick. Anyone know how or if you can increase the time that the screen is on or disable it so the screen just stays on?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Try wiping the Cache Partition in the Recovery Mode menu. If that doesn't work then backup your device and do a hard factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jkcash:
I bought an S9 in early April from Samsung's website, and they were running a deal for $150 off with trade-in of my phone (the 1G Pixel 5"), along with a 99$ bundle that included the Gear VR, IconX, and wireless charger. That plus 720 for a brand new phone with rave reviews (basically the great S8 + a better camera, processor, etc) sounded like a good deal, and my Pixel's bluetooth issues were nagging as I had more accessories using it than before. Things were going well enough after this, but I had mixed feelings about the phone - the camera quality is incredibly inconsistent, really worse than the Pixel, battery life seemed worse than my 1.5 year old phone, and I wondered about future updates (or lack thereof), but I was happy enough with it.

Just over two weeks after buying it, just outside of my return period, Samsung informed me that my Pixel was not up to their terms for trade-in and they would be charging me $125 of the 150 trade-in value. $25 for my perfectly functional phone that I'm now honestly convinced was better in the first place, all things considered. They sent me two photos which show light paint specks missing, which on a metal phone is par for the course under "normal wear and tear" - which they said it was beyond. Absolutely ridiculous. Try sticking your phone in a bag with anything else and that not happening. The phone was in great shape when I sent it, well packaged, also in its nice fabric case, which I thought was a fun idea at the time. I have been back and forth with them on the BBB after waiting over two weeks for response from their support channel (I doubt they would ever have come up with an answer for me otherwise), and they are standing fast on not honoring their agreement while referring to me annoyingly as "valued Samsung customer" (whatever). I've seen this isn't a unique case and wonder if some sort of class action lawsuit is brewing (sign me up!).

The absolute lack of scruples they've shown in jipping me on this has turned this into a nice lifelong boycott for me, and I just wanted to warn anyone else against sending in their old baby (RIP Pixel ), if not buying their products entirely. I've since sold that S9 and bought a Pixel 2, which is such a better experience across the board (camera, battery, software, speed, not touching the screen because of tiny bezels, security updates, et. al) it's not even funny - despite running older hardware. Good learning experience for me, and I'll know never to expect anything from the brand again. I hope Samsung enjoys the $125 - I have a number of friends/family who take advice from me on phones, and I'll gladly inform them on my Valued Samsung Customer experience.

Just wanted to get my story out, so I'm sending it around. People should really know what this company is up to... Either way, thanks for reading!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] preambean:
Tbh, judging by the pictures, i'd say Samsung are right. Seems like more than "normal wear and tear" to me. Never happened to any metal phones iv'e ever used or any phone iv'e seen being used carefully (BTW try using a case). In any case, I think it is up to Samsung on what they deem to be "normal wear and tear" unless it is completely unreasonable (which I don't think is your case).

-- not defending Samsung --

What does seem kind of ridiculous is that it took them over two weeks to make the decision that it was not "normal wear and tear", especially when that's after the return period.

As for a class action lawsuit, there are really are no grounds to accuse Samsung of anything. They haven't done anything wrong, just been annoying to deal with.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Dont believe anything a phone manufacturer tells you and you'll never be disappointed. I've been lied to and seen broken promises from LG, Motorola/Lenovo, Samsung and Huawei so I try to make decisions on what I see in front of me and not what they promise. Well, maybe the Samsung promise of monthly updates got me. :laugh:

ain't that the truth swift updates is the mobile market equivalent of don't worry I'll pull out in time
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
cool story bro lol

fact is, you shouldve kept it and sold it yourself as you woukdve got more money in return..

i agree with sammy on this one, you knew there was some chips or w.e ur calling it when u sent it in and they were taking ur word for it that it was in good condition and turns out it wasnt..

now what i woukdve done was tell them to either honor it or send the phone back to me so i can resell it and get my moneys worth..

also, i own a p2xl as well, its a great phone dont get me wro g but the s9+ is too, if it wasnt locked bl id like it more than the p2xl in fact..

and those complaining about updates, im on 2ARF5 with June security patch.. last i checked pixels are still on June sec patch also, so its on par with updates, just sayin
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Just sayjng, US unlocked phones are sitting on Feb security patches, not June and it was Samsung who committed to monthly updates a year ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] preambean:
Slow Samsung updates seem to be a North American issue especially. My S9 (SM-G9600, Snapdragon) bought from Hong Kong, is on the May security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] undertaker2k14:
Pulled the same thing with my wife's iphone, but I opened a dispute since I had pictures showing the phone working right before I sent it (they claimed it would not turn on) and promptly canceled the credit card they had on file so they cannot process this charge. Screw Samsung , first no updates for the S9 for 4 months !! Stuck on Feb patch and now they want to rob me of $175, not if I an help it.
[Amazfit] SteffenBerlin:
I just got a Stratos with latest international stock firmware 2.3.2.8. Unfortunately the floors counted is just 1-4 a day which should be at least 12-15. My floor height is exactly 10 feet or 3 meters as mentioned in the manual. My former Garmin Vivoactive 3 did count it correct. Is it a firmware issue of release 2.3.2.8 or is the barometer on my Stratos broken or is the watch in general not able to count the floors correctly? How is your experience?

The altitude during bicycle trips looks OK. But it looks more as derived from GPS instead of a smooth curve as I would expect from a barometer/altimeter.
[Amazfit] tjengo:
I can confirm, counting climbed floors is very poor. Highest count was 6.

Normaly (with garmin devices) I get around 15-24 floors.
[Amazfit] SteffenBerlin:
Thanks for the answer. However I want to make sure if it is a general problem or just some devices have a faulty barometer. Is there an app displaying the barometric pressure?
[Amazfit] chillahh:
Same here, floors climbed not showing correctly. I read at reddit a plausible reason for it: It seems like the readings have some lag. That means, if you climb a floor and stay there for awhile it will be counted. Climbing up and down quickly won't be counted. That's what it seems the reason and what I experienced, too.

You can read the barometric pressure by opening the compass app and click on it once to get to the GPS data. There you will see the pressure on the right bottom corner. My barometric pressure freeze once. I had to factory reset to get it working again. But if your cycling readings seem OK and not stuck at a certain height you likely have a working barometer.

Edit: I'm on PACEficator with WOS 2.6.1.0.
[Amazfit] SteffenBerlin:
Thanks you! I checked the compass widget and the barometer seems to work correctly, it shows the correct pressure for my area. Also when I walk up a floor the pressure changes by 0.3 hPa. This is correct as well. So it seems to be a calculation problem. I think the used floor height is more than 10 feet / 3 meters. In China buildings usually have higher ceilings because of the heat. I also have that my altitude diagrams look more like block diagrams. The altitude in GPX tracks is only updated quite rarely. Hence the altitude jumps up and down but overall is correct. Just not a smooth curve like it should be and is at Garmin.
[Amazfit] SteffenBerlin:
Today we had falling barometric pressure because of bad weather coming. Floors counted were almost correct. This proves that the floor height is not as mentioned the 10 feet/ 3 meters but higher. Hopefully it will fixed soon.
