Beginning in June or July 2017 about 90 percent of text in HiCare changed to greek language with greek letter. At german Android hilfe the information from many owners is the same bug.

Calls to german support beginning July 2017 give allways the same answer:"will be fixes with next update".

Now we have many updates, and the same bug.

Depends this "seems not repairible" bug only geman phones?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DampDeceiver:
Hello, I'm still a noob trying to learn, so far with help of this forum I've learned to unlock and root my first android phone, now I'm trying to learn how to properly keep my device updated!

Can someone please give a little rundown to what are the correct steps to update OTA on a rooted twrp device?

I've been browsing the forums a lot but I seem to find a lot of different approaches, or too vague instructions.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out, step by step, and explain the steps with the commands I need to put in, if there are any.

Thank you
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] strikerdj2011:
download the ota from here

place it on your phone

go to update on you phone then hit the cog and hit local update

let it up date

reboot to boot loader

fastboot twrp img again

then flash the installer

reboot recovery

then it will boot back in to recovery again

flash root

job done
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Swatto86:
Hello,

To save you having to fastboot boot TWRP, do the following:

Save the following files to your SDCard:

OTA.zip

Magisk.zip

TWRP.zip

Boot into TWRP

Flash OTA.zip first, then TWRP.zip straight after, then Magisk.zip straight after that, reboot.

[MENTION=3270103]Swatto86[/MENTION] By twrp do you mean TWRP recovery or TWRP installer? I assume that you mean the installer
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Swatto86:
Sorry yes, put the installer zip on the sdcard
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DampDeceiver:
Thank you everyone for the quick replies,

What exactly is it to 'flash' the installer? Is it something I can do from the TWRP screen, just tap on it? Or will I have to put in command prompts?

I have followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es80k627kTc to unlock/twrp/root, I have a TWRP recovery as far as I know, I'm not sure about 'installer'.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Ajaykumar21066:
i just download and install the OTA through system updates. Then boot to Trwp recovery and flash magisk . Profit
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Swatto86:
You can flash the installer zip for TWRP through TWRP itself.

Doesn't installing OTA through system settings wipe TWRP? That's why I perform all my updates from TWRP directly.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
You have to do twrp/root again after updates. Unlock sticks, but twrp and root don't.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Ajaykumar21066:
there must be something strange with me then , OTA update doesnt wipe my twrp , i just flash magisk after OTA
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
It prob doesn't overwrite until u reboot so twrp may not have been overwritten on that partition yet, so would make sense, I need to try it out sometime
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Swatto86:
When you install OTA via system settings and reboot, the slot switches to the inactive one (where the OTA installed to) and boots. This means the previous slot (prior to reboot) still has TWRP installed.

You are probably going direct to recovery after the OTA install without doing a full reboot first.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Swatto is correct. The risk when using twrp is that you

must

reboot to recovery immediately after flashing the twrp installer zip, or you will boot to the old slot and things will be broken. Rebooting to recovery gets you onto the active, updated slot.

When you reboot to recovery and flash an OTA, you are flashing it to the other slot. The current slot is untouched, while the new active one is completely stock. The twrp installer zip flashes twrp to both slots.

This is the procedure to follow if you want to update via twrp. Personally, I prefer taking the OTA and reinstalling via fastboot just to make sure everything is clean.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DampDeceiver:
Alright everyone, thanks for all the replies. I have to say even with all your help things were still really confusing for me. I went ahead and ditched TWRP (since I don't really need it anyway), updated OTA through the system, reinstalled magisk before reboot on 2nd slot (the OTA option), and rebooted. And so far all seems fine, I'm on the latest OOS version and I'm still rooted, everything seems to work. Can I do this again in the future and completely overwrite my TWRP installation on my A slot?

I kinda went with TWRP as it's supposed to be more safe for noobs but it ended up making things a lot more difficult to manage.

Thank you
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
I have not tried that method as I want twrp, but that is the recommended approach.

I know things have changed with twrp, but it's not that hard once you get used to it. You just have to remember that your phone will switch active slots every time it gets an update or you flash an ota (for example, to go back to stock), so twrp, etc, have to be installed on the other slot before you boot to it. Once you get comfortable with that idea, the rest of it is pretty easy.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Well, I am glad to read this post. Its always interesting how things can be slightly different in every phone manufacturer's setup.

After my lady Huawei device (Honor 6x), I did not want to have to deal with their style of... Control over their devices.

And things seem much easier here, while also being a little confusing right now. I don't fully get the slot a/b stuff yet but it sounds like it's a system to ensure stability on the phone in cases where the newest update could install incorrectly the alternative slot has a backup to ensure the device will function.

Sorta sounds like the dual bios setup on some motherboards. It's good!

Right, so to summarise to ensure I got it right:

1) Downloaded large (1gb+) ota zip from one of these threads, official twrp recovery installing zip, new version of magisk recovery installing zip

2) in recovery install all 3 of those zips in that listed order

3) reboot to recovery again to ensure twrp is still installed

4) profit

Which twrp thread should I take the zip from? There are a few different threads. I shouldn't care about the fastboot version when I already have twrp installed, right?

Either way, it can be much easier than what I had to do on Huawei phones. (currently the easiest phone I used for customisation like this was Nexus 4, but gladly OP6 is getting pretty close to that same level).
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
You're best off downloading from the official twrp site. If you already have it installed, no need to use the fastboot boot method. You should to reboot to recovery in between flashing twrp and magisk to be sure magisk gets installed on the active slot.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Question, more of a scenario really. So if I'm on slot A and have TWRP and Magisk installed, would it be alright to just do a local update and reboot, giving me a perfectly clean install in slot B? Does it work that way? Thanks!

I'm actually using a 6t, but worst case scenario I just use the MSM Download tool, still I wanna get the hang of these confusing A/B devices.

I have the Vito sms-chat application, and yes I love it. It's awesome, I love the smooth transitions! Is there anyway I can get it to be the default sms-application? So if i click on any 3rd party "SMS" icon, then It will open up VITO...

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Hello guys, the update 8.0.0.162 just appeared on FF

EIS is here guys !!

I will install asap and report back

See the attachement for the Changelog
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] qtoo941:
Unfortunately, the update is not approved for my device yet, so I will wait for another week or two to have it updated on my phone.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Just installed the update using the no check recovery,

EIS is here for 720p and 1080p30fps. It's not available for 1080p60fps or 4k

Here are the screenshots
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Is the EIS available for pictures or only for videos?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Only for video sadly...
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Too bad. I hope we'll get EIS for pictures in some future update... Thanks for the info, anyway. ??
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] qtoo941:
Ahm.... EIS for pictures does not exist ;):D Maybe the EIS option is going to be available for 1080p 60 fps in any of the future updates, but unfortunately we are not going to have EIS for the 4K recording because of the Kirin 970. P20 Pro and Mate 10 Pro are having the same stabilization - 1080p 60fps + EIS with not stabilization at 4K.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
It doesn't? I thought it does, don't know why. ? Thanks for the heads up.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzfan1989:
What theme are you using?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
I use the IPhone theme - designed by madmax
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Think it's OIS for pictures ;)
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Nah, OIS is a hardware feature.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] qtoo941:
OIS is a hardware feature - it helps for both pictures/videos while the EIS is a software feature and it can only be uses for video.

Did somebody already tested the EIS? What is the quality?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Yeah know that but it's the only way to have stabilization for the pictures
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Yup tested and it's about the same as without stabilization. Just a little zoomer due to the traitement of the video.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] qtoo941:
I am surprised because I was using Honor 8 a few months ago and it has EIS for 1080p (I believe for 1080p 60 fps) and it worked really good. The picture is cropped when the EIS is turned on because this is how the feature actually works. Hopefully, it is going to be improved in the future.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] (--light--):
Can you try this please

Open video from Google photos >edit>Stabalize >save... Kindly report if it's working on videos shot without EIS
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Yes just tested and of course it's working on videos without EIS and working with EIS too

And as you may know there's a better stabilization with Google photos, but you can use the following combo : EIS +Google photos stabilization. Amazing results :)
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] (--light--):
Thanks for confirmation I actually asked as it's not working on devices which are not updated, such as mine...

Like I can see Stabalized videos edited by Google... But while saving it gives me "unable to save" error

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dht2005:
Hi all, sorry if this issue has been addressed elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

So, after downloading the latest factory image and doing flash-all in fastboot (to BOTH slots, by using --set-active=other)..... I (maybe stupidly) decided that since I received the phone (replacement) with the active slot being "a", that's how I would like to use it, rather than the state it was left in after flashing the factory images, which was active slot b. So I rebooted, and used fastboot to switch back over to slot a, thinking....well, being as I just flashed the same exact material to each slot, it shouldn't matter which one I used. ...However, after doing that, the phone wouldn't boot. It would get as far as the bright white Google screen and then go black. And for a while, it seemed I wouldn't be able to get back into the bootloader either. I thought I was bricked. But after holding VolDown and Power for MUCH longer than I normally have to, I was able to get back into bootloader, and reflashed the factory images on slot a, and now all seems well.

What the hell did I do wrong? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks very much everyone. :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
Whatever it is you did don't do that again. Problem solve. Lol no man I've never actually had this issue, however I've also never tried to switch slots after flashing a factory image like that. Definitely weird. Closest thing I've heard is someone doing something similar after receiving an OTA. I know the way OTAs work are that they flash it to the opposite slot so that if something goes wrong the phone can revert back to the other slot.

:::Edited for grammar.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bdawwgg:
bump.

Does anyone else have further insight on this? Currently have Pixel stuck in this situation.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dht2005:
bdawwgg, were you referring to the situation that I was in, or the situation Phalanx was talking about -- switching slots after an OTA? Because if you're where I was, there should be a way out pretty easily. What exactly is your situation?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
sorry, i can't explain why that happens but something similar happened to me before. i flashed a factory image to both slots, starting with slot a. when i was done, the phone booted in slot b. i wanted to switch back to a, because alphabet, so i used fastboot to do it. after this, my phone started behaving weird. it happened a while ago, so i don't recall exactly what happened. so now, i leave the phone on whatever slot it boots up in. when i flash a new rom, i flash to slot b first.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dht2005:
Well thanks for the replies you guys. This is very, very interesting indeed... because it would appear that quite a few of us (at least) are cognizant of this issue, or have even experienced it ourselves in some cases. And yet, the problerm doesn't seem to be being discussed in a widespread manner. And by the way altwu, unless I'm missing something, your situation was not just similar, what happened to you was *exactly* what happened to me, and we got there by following the *exact* same set of steps.

It would be really great if someone with some advanced knowledge of the inner workings of this phone could explain to us just what is going on, and why. I feel like knowing the answer to this question would provide more insight into the specific way this multi-slot system works, and maybe even establish some further "Dos and Don'ts" for when you're flashing a device like this.

Slot_A-B How to Flash Roms/Magisk/Kernel 8.1??? by Mikkey81
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dht2005:
Hey Homeboy! I actually used your guides to get me through the basics of understanding this phone. Thank you so much for your work.

By the way, if you're referencing something particular in the thread you linked, could you point it out?? ...Because... I don't want to be disrespectful, but it sort of seems like quite a bit of the stuff in Mikkey's thread is outdated... for instance, what he says about TWRP versions... according to what I've read from everyone else, and my own experience, the NEWEST TWRP is now the best to use; no reason to use an outdated one. And also, I find his writing a bit difficult to parse, because he's got a number of grammatical irregularities and mistakes... which he actually references at the bottom of his post, in his editing note, "because I can't read or write." Oh and lastly, the last update was back in March...

Anyway, I'm sure he's got some great knowledge, but that's part of the reason I gravitated more to your guides, and a few other people's work, too. Your clarity and organization made for a much better resource.

So if you were pointing out something specific in his thread, could you let me know what it was? Thanks so much. :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
The guide may need some work, what guide doesn't, but the information about what slot to flash what to and the twrp information was accurate. Some custom ROMs still use twrp 3.2.0-0.img. :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnixdorf:
Hi Guys,

I have a D6603 unrooted, was rooted before.

Installed a clean firmware 5.1.1, was on 6 and 7 before.

My problem is when i charge the phone 100% it just power off at 80% or 70% with a message of low battery went to 0%

When i power it on again, it stay blocked on the sony logo, i need to put the resest button to make works again, when fully powered, it goes off again.

I tough it was a battery problem, of course it is, but not hardware it's software related, Why? this why:

When the phone goes off on 80%, and reboot and stuck on sony logo, i let it like this to see how many hours it would stay.

And yeah, it took 3 hours on this logo screen to goes off, that' mean the battery still have power.

This problem happened to me when i rooted my phone the first time, unlocked bootloader "was never rooted before until i did"

now even with unrooted i still occur this problem.

I need your help guys; i there's any workarround.

Thank you
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnixdorf:
i made another thing few hours ago, when the phone is fully out of power, i tried to charge it using my laptop usb port.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leopard200:
If you you're on MIUI you might have noticed that the contents of your "obb" directory might become write-protected sometimes.

I discovered that this happens because of an option called "Mock SD Card Optimization" in Developer Options.

This option is disliked by many, because it slows down your storage I/O speed, and while the name might suggest it only applies to external SD cards, it also includes the internal storage too!

If you turn off this option while already having an Android/obb directory, this directory becomes locked on next launch. Thankfully, I found a simple workaround:

1. Enable Mock SD Card Optimization temporarily. It requires restart.

2. Go to Android/obb and move (cut) all folders to another directory temporarily. This will serve as a backup.

3. Delete the obb folder.

4. Turn off Mock SD Card Optimization and reboot.

5. Again go to sdcard/Android directory and now create a new obb folder.

6. Move your backed-up obb folders back into this new obb directory.

Done! Problem Averted! ;)

Use firmware finder app..

Download the right update file..

Then make a folder in ur sd card named as dload,

Unpack the update.zip

Paste everything u extracted from update.zip in dload folder..

Flash stock recovery first then boot into recovery it will automatically detect the update and update process will start.
