[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1nv1nc3bl3:
Hi guys. Found this Norma ROM in a Chinese forum. It all began when I downloaded R18 from Norma which you can find on YouTube. This is one of the latest and best performing ROMs I've ever used. Unfortunately when I saw R20, it wasn't available anywhere else but on this site. You need to be registered to download. Can anyone who knows Chinese please help?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] egandt:
So I tested the Tilt without a SIM card it booted up just fine and all, then I shut it down as per the enclosed instructions. I inserted the SIM card also as per instructions, and then the phone failed to turn on. So I was forced to soft reset the device (now after an hour of waiting) it is stuck at the AT&T screen. I tried a second reset about 10 minutes back and again stuck at the AT&T screen. Any idea whats wrong with the phone, I assumed that this should be a simple procedure of inserting the SIM, and restarting the phone. Since the enclosed instructions (with the phone) give me no answers, any idea what I should do now?

Thanks,

ERIC
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] etnies:
make sure the sim is in, it won't hurt to charge it, and try a hard reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MorKaiser:
First of all is ATT your service provider? If not you'll have to unlock your phone before using.

For your issue...

Try taking out Sim card, and starting up your phone.

Once it starts, it's will load the setup wizard asking you to tap the screen: at this point do a hard reset (a hard reset is done by pushing the two soft keys (these keys are located to the left of the end button, and the right of the talk button with a "-" on them) at the same time and while holding these keys, push your stylus into the softreset hole and wait until your phone flashes and brings you to a white screen with instructions.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

After your phone resets, power down, reinsert your Sim card and it should be ok.

Hi all,

I finally made the jump to OnePlus!

However, there is one feature that I miss from Honor 6x, and that is App Twin, which I use for having my two WhatsApp Numbers on the same phone. (Yeah dual sim is great!)

What is a good alternative to this for OnePlus 6?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Shironomia:
OnePlus has a similar feature.

Go to settings -> Apps -> Parallel Apps

Works pretty much the same. Enable it for WhatsApp and you'll have 2 WhatsApp with individual accounts.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Oh that's so great to hear! I didn't realize that there was this feature! Loving my device more every moment!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Just keep in mind that parallel apps will break twrp backups unless you delete them before you restore.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rmaathuis:
Or install WhatsApp and WhatsApp for Business then you don't need parallel apps.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Shironomia:
How exactly does it break backups? I've used TWRP backups and restore on the boot partition before while having it enabled. Or does it only break it for certain partitions?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
I don't use them so I don't have any experience with it. But many, many people have reported problems with it. There are a couple of threads discussing the issue, here's one:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/255-error-twrp-backup-restore-999-t3801632

It may have been fixed with the most recent OOS update.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
The OnePlus 6 uses a/b partitioning which is different than many other devices with the exception of a few. While doing a backup with twrp you will run into a 255 error (999 folders) created by parallel apps. This will either happen when you make a backup or when restoring. I personally have not heard of a workaround besides deleting the folders before backing up. I have found a way to remove these folders permanently without having to delete them one by one. Here is my thread

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/255-error-twrp-backup-restore-999-t3801632
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
The Parallel app is working nicely and shows up in the app drawer as a separate icon.

However the original WhatsApp now also opens the "choose optional or parallel app" screen.

Anyone know how to cause the original WhatsApp to just act like a normal WhatsApp, just like the parallel version does?

I generally keep the WhatsApp versions on different screens - home number and abroad number, which are both used equally as much. I edited different colour icons to keep them distinguishable.

Actually using WhatsApp business might be an option for this but I want to support the first party features first before trying that.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rmaathuis:
Parallel Apps has too many disadvantages for me, like the screen where you have to choose for the normal or the parallel app version. Also the parallel app version stores it's data (like pictures and video's) in a part of the os which you can only access if you have root. Furthermore did the parallel version of WhatsApp crash once for me and I could only get it back to work normally by using a testpackage from OnePlus. None of these problems when using WhatsApp for Business.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
I just installed WhatsApp Business. Yeah the only difference that matters is that it says business in the app and the icon has a B in the notification.

B is okay, because it's for the secondary account and it's fine to label it B. I am not so OCD to care that it says business in the app. (yeah from someone who spent almost 24 hours replicating his preferred settings in all apps).

Point is, it functions just as I need now. ?

Edit: actually at this point I think I will disable Parallel completely. I am currently looking for the command to delete profile 999, which I saw in a previous thread while looking for rooting methods.

Thanks all for the replies!

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHarbinger:
My X Style Pure (2015) was updated last Fall to the first version of Nougat (7.0) and has received nothing since October 2017. Moto/Lenovo isn't going to update the OS any further. I'd assumed that I'd still get the monthly security updates.

I know I can use an unofficial ROM to get the phone to Oreo. But will I get security updates? Is the carrier (Verizon) responsible or Moto/Lenovo? Would I have to do it myself, and if so, how?

Just curious as I don't think I've ever seen an answer to this.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The manufacturer is responsible for security updates for as long as they support the device. This assumes that there is no carrier interference with the process: something quite common in the US. Since this device is no longer supported, neither Lenovo nor the carrier is responsible for providing further updates. That now falls to the developer of the custom ROM you choose to use. Most developers are good about providing security updates, but they aren't required to do so either, unlike Lenovo or the carrier.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHarbinger:
That's good to know--and a practice that needs to change. I think that the phone manufacturer should continue providing those updates far longer than they do.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
LoL...I agree but in the Android ecosystem, it is unlikely to change. You want consistent regular timely updates for at least 2 years on date of release, then a Google phone (Pixel devices) is the only way to go. Ultimately, it is all about getting people to upgrade and therefore increasing profit. While batteries being "built in and not user replaceable" does lead to slimmer devices, it also means people will upgrade more as their battery life depletes over time. It seems there are a lot of people experiencing sudden battery problems shortly after 2 years on the MXPE. Strange...

So switched over finally to oreo 2 months ago on OB. Flashed every oos kernel and battery life just seems to suck compared to nougat. Sot has dropped significantly and idle drain is through the roof. I was getting 0.1-0.2%/hr idle drain on nougat and over 8 hours sot every day on nougat, happened to be running the Xceed kernel as well. Is it just me or does everyone seem to have this issue? Because, to be honest, a decrease from at least 8 hours sot to 4 hours is making me say f* the new awesome features and go back to nougat and get my battery life and performance back.

Thanks to [MENTION=5414229]vkevin16[/MENTION] for telling us about this -- and [MENTION=4139623]achyut[/MENTION] for confirming! See post #2.

Here's how to flash:

To then unlock bootloader and root, see

this thread

. For India H930DS, just substitute this PHL H930DS Oreo KDZ instead of CIS H930DS in the instructions.

But just flashing this will give you Oreo with India Jio VoLTE, even without bootloader unlock and root.

______________

Here's how to install the dev patched LGUP:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING

1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)

2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to VIA UPGRADE.

It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:

Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.

This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,

Try different USB port,

Try different USB cable,

Try different computer.

Reinstall

LG mobile drivers.

Reinstall dev patched LGUP again, making sure the files are placed where they need to go (LG Electronics folder, etc).

Reboot the computer.

If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway. ;)

IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU CANNOT FLASH VIA UPGRADE, then use "DL PARTITION" METHOD:

1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)

2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.

5) DONE.

UPGRADE method lets you keep you data, apps while DL PARTITION METHOD will wipe everything.

_______________

Not necessary, but putting this next item here just so you know... IF for some reason your phone is acting wonky, usually a Master Reset will fix it. No need to reflash anything, but this procedure below does wipe all data. It will give you "factory fresh" setup on the new KDZ. We use this on purpose over in the Frankenstein thread for US998, but is not usually necessary for this simple Oreo H930DS upgrade to another region H930DS.

MASTER RESET

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] KDZ can still be flashed using LGUP even with unlocked BL and TWRP installed?

Presume, yes but still checking

Cool can you pls let us know step by step process to flash this tomorrow without rooting and unlocking bootloader
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if you just want to install this, then you flash the KDA with the dev patched LGUP attached to post #1. You would be on the Oreo PHL KDZ which has India VoLTE.

That would be the first step anyway for bootloader unlock and root. But you can stop there if you wish.

To then unlock the bootloader you would just use the WTF method and flash the "fake" bootloader unlock command in ADB. Your bootloader would be unlocked, and you could install TWRP and then in TWRP flash Magisk.

But again, you can just stop after upgrading to this Oreo and not do the other steps.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] saj2001ind:
" If you want to have the developer LG UP version (overkill for just flashing a KDZ ) then you need both patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe"

don't need to have patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe to flash this rom if we just need unrooted and locked bootloader v30 after flash ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
That verbiage by [MENTION=5012130]padmanek[/MENTION] is copied from all my other threads where I supply KDZ and I kept it. He was explaining why the dev patched LGUP is sometimes not necessary... But for this thread I only supplied the dev patched LGUP he gave us (not the weaker one), to make sure it works. It's the most powerful version of LGUP. Why use any other? Bi removed that wording since it was confusing you for some reason...

I think you guys are trying to make it too hard. ;) This is the exact same method everyone uses for the past few months to upgrade to Oreo from another region. Australian and even Indian H930DS who upgraded to other versions used this method (even before bootloader unlock and root was available). The DIFFERENCE is this PHL OREO has India VoLTE. It's been proven.

But this is not some new process or difficult at all. You're just using LGUP to upgrade to newer KDZ.
