Ok... As you can see from this thread,

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/hel...en-restore-t3804734/post76832485#post76832485

I soft bricked my phone after trying to restore a backup in official TWRP.

I followed this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643

And jumped over to this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558 per this post in the tutorial https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76564290&postcount=5 note that this post points to another way of getting TWRP. The link I went to is how to install OFFICIAL TWRP.

And jumped back to the original tutorial for the rest. I'm scared to death now to try and test the restore functionality in TWRP. Has anyone successfully restored a backup? If so, what steps did they take to get the backup and what steps did they take restoring backup? What partitions did the check.mark during backup and what partitions did they check mark during restore? And do you need to do anything with changing the a/b slots????

Edited to add correct link to install official TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
Flash stock ROM in TWRP, flash TWRP again. It won't touch data partition but you can restore just your data partition from your TWRP backup. Boot into system once, then reboot recovery and flash magisk if you want root. All modules you have will be back and active after that.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

On the off chance TWRP says there is no OS after flashing stock ROM and TWRP, ignore messages and boot anyway. It will restore your phone without losing all data.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
I'll try this and if this works and is in deed the process we need to follow until TWRP can just do what it's supposed to, then shouldn't this stuff be in the tutorials or have the OPs actually pulled this off like it's supposed to be?

I restored boot, system and data and ended in twrp loop. Flashing magisk revived it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
Did you do it like he instructed above?

Flash rom

Flash TWRP

Restore boot, system, and data

Reboot?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tdamocles:
To tell you the truth I didn't even see the other post and was trying to get the renovate magisk module working in the process. It was the first time for me trying to restore a twrp backup because I borked something in the renovate magisk install. Like I said, I tried restoring boot, system and data and ended in a bootloop twrp situation. I figured what the heck, let's try flashing magisk root again and see what happens, and voila it work.

Yes me too twrp on oneplus 6 are buggy when I had restore all system part my Phone enter in bootloop [emoji58]

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
Ok. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much. I tested all this without any lock screen security. Now I'm wondering if this procedure works with backups with lock screen security.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
Ok. Just tried what tdamocles did. But I've been wiping before restore. I then just restore and select system, boot, and data. I did not reflash TWRP. Rebooted and everything was good. Still had root and didn't need to reflash magisk. Was also able to reboot back into TWRP, so there was no need to reflash TWRP. But.... I think that is due to not flashing the stock room first. I'm assuming that if you reflash stock that you will indeed have to reflash TWRP. So, conclusion... If you restore system, boot, and data then no need to reflash TWRP and in my case no need to reflash magisk. Again, this is without lock screen security. My next test will be with lock screen security unless someone posts a negative result before I do.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
You will not be able to get past encrption if you decrypt in TWRP and restore. It essentially forgets encryption key.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
Update...

Just performed a backup with lock screen security and was able to restore the backup choosing system, boot, and data. No reflashing of TWRP or magisk. Not sure if needed but I've been performing basic wipe before all my restores. Still able to boot back into TWRP and still had root.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
Check my post above. I edited it to quote you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vinnievegas:
I must also note that I'm using official TWRP. I edited my first post to reflect the link I used when jumping out if the tutorial and back.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BossNexusS:
I have restored from twrp a couple times now with no problem.. I did get the message saying can't mount system or something like that, ok I went into the mount options and mounted system after that the restore worked perfectly and I could boot back into the rom and back into twrp after.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] primus19:
Restored mine yesterday too, all files checked when backup, deleted lockscreen settings before, few bootloops at the beginning, until phone changed slot, then booted into system. Cheers!

Hello all, I really debated on where to post this..I havent been too active for awhile on the forums, been busy, but I imagine I'll be snagging a Kaiser sometime coming up, so I suppose I'll stick it here.

I am offering Exchange 2007 pushmail accounts, with Outlook Web Access, and alias's, you can find more details, and pricing at http://gfyinc.org

My value plan monthly price is $4.00, or $44.00 for a year, but if you have donated to XDA Developers(as in star by your name) I will provide you with details to sign up for $3.00 a month, or $32.00 a year, or a $1.00 off any of the larger plans listed.

I am in no way trying to affiliate myself with XDA by offering the discount, and Im not setting a very good example by not having donated yet, I just know I or a lot of us wouldnt be here without this place, and want to encourage donations, I would rather you donate here, and receive the dollar a month discount.

Less than you pay for a cheeseburger and fires, and you get a whole month of instant html email sweetness.

P.M. me for details. sorry to kinda spam you, and thank you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
what kind of gaurantees do we have of this service
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rabangus:
If you're after a completely free exchange account try here: http://live.mail2web.com/

I've used them for push mail for years and I've had no problems at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChaoticDruid:
Like its says in my FAQ, if youre less that 15 days into the 30 day billing period, and unsatisfied, I will return your payment.

I do still have a couple upgrades I would like to put in place within the next month, but I really hate to spend too much more, when Im not really seeing that much interest from the get go, but if you want a month for free to check it out, let me know, I would appreciate any business.

Thanks for your input, after dumping a few grand into building redundant servers, and taking the time to set it all up, not to mention the stress, I really like to have some really nice person chime in and tell me and others its free elsewhere, its hard enough being the small guy and trying to compete in a world of giants.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carphead:
Rather than complaining surely the best response would of been why your service is better than mail2web's? For example...

$4 a month gets you a mail alias. At M2W it's $4.95 a month.

Does your service included access using Outlook on a PC?

What about Spam filtering?

What about Anti Virus?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anonan:
Short question: how can I downgrade or FRP unlock a S8+ G955F that is FRP locked and on very recent firmware?

Here are the details:

I am trying to assist a family member with a Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955F) that they have just purchased online. When purchasing it they were

not told

that FRP lock is on (FRP LOCK: ON) and OEM lock is on (OEM LOCK: ON). It was running Bootloader v2 on very recent stock firmware. It has been successfully flashed with BL_G955FXXU2CRED and AP_G955FXXU2CRED...

It was on G955FXXU2CRED firmware. I was able to successfully able to flash the Combination ROM COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU2ARE1 (full name COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU2ARE1_CL12792727_QB18097821_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar)

With combination rom, it seemed that I could enable USB Debugging, and also follow the steps for *#0808# IME to enable the appropriate mode for adb codes to be entered. I was able to find the device with 'adb devices', and I thought that the FRP unlock codes on the command line worked. But after re-flashing to the current Stock Firmware again, FRP lock was still there.

It seems I need to downgrade to Nougat 7.0, but I am on Bootloader V2. Odin identifies it by a FAIL with binary not matched (2 vs 1). So it seems that if I could get a method to keep Bootloader V2 and install Stock Firmware for Android 7.0 Nougat, I would be halfway there to fixing the FRP problem. However, I can't find any firmware or ROMs for G955F that includes Bootloader V2. This is identified by a U2 in the firmware name, like: G955FXXU2CRED . Is there a way to keep the BL Bootloader V2 but install AP ROM from Nougat?

I have spent many hours on this so far, and I just wanted to say thank you to all you guys who are helping on XDA, I really appreciate it. I have read about 7 day waiting periods for OEM UNLOCK but I don't see how it applies, as I can't do anything aside from use Combination ROM, use Odin, or go to the FRP locked FW which seems to be a dead end?

If there was a reliable method for rooting this G955F device with this G955FXXU2CRED firmware, I would be open to trying it.

Another note: AP SW Rev is identified as B:2 K:1 S:1
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
I don't think once a phone has the boot loader CRED, that the phone can be downgraded. Hope I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anonan:
I think you are right. The combination ROM seems to built on selinux version 7.

I think I need to root with twrp. But first I need to enable OEM unlock. I'm not sure if that will be possible with combination ROM or if I should flash latest stock and then wait 7 days??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] darknagel:
same problem here... If an solution available pls write here
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paul_59:
Flashing stock rom and waiting 7 days would be the safe option.

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve.

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
I think I read someone on CarHDRom who flashed the rom via TWRP, and then when the phone booted into system for the first time at setting up, they changed the date to 8 days earlier, and when the phone setup was completed and booted into system, the OEM unlock was available.

Re: CRED I believe once it has been installed on a phone, you can not go back to a previous version (pre CRED).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anonan:
I wonder if I can do this date trick with combination FW to enable OEM unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anonan:
It seems there are a few solutions to frp if you can selectively restore flash files. It looks like Samsung tool Pro can do this, but is there any free adb method?

Hi everyone. I have my phone for 5 months. When I play Clash of Clans (CoC), there is a static sound or I can say buzzing as in the following similar post from 2015 https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/one-speakers-buzzing-t3269228 .

I controlled other games and some apps to see if there is a similar sound but no, it's only CoC. My phone is always in Mute mode, all game sounds are disabled, Media sound is also zero but still have the sound. And when I'm alone at home, it's really annoying.

I searched about this and found many threads in almost every forum, but couldn't find anything useful. Most of the posts answered as above, saying "clean the speakers". But this sound was there when I bought my brand new Galaxy. My aim is to get thoughts about what it might be, and is there a way to get rid of it. I have some thoughts about that sound.

It sounds like a High (might be Low) Frequency signal that is coming only when the app is foreground. I started to think that CoC developers added this to the game on some purpose. It might be compare the online players whereabouts and if two devices are seeing each other (I mean hearing), the app might won't match them in the versus battles. But it is unlikely since the original multiplayer battles need an offline player base for an online player to start the attack.

I appreciate if someone here can confirm that CoC also make the sound on devices other that Note 8 or even on other OS's. This at least shows that I might be true about it is made on purpose, and that there is no way to silent this, except deleting the game.

Sorry for the long post.

[General Questions and Answers] notanewbie dude:
Does anyone know if the SM-G930UZKAXAA model of the Samsung Galaxy S7 has FM radio support or not? I've only found one review of someone mentioning FM, and the person said it was disabled; however, the review was quite old, and I believe the feature was supposed to be added retroactively via an OTA firmware update.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I don't have this device myself and this is a tricky question to answer...

The SM-G930U does have an FM Chip that requires a Modification (Firmware or other) to enable the FM Chip.

This device has the Snapdragon 820 that has an integrated FM Radio receiver and since the FM Chip isn't activated, it has no internal antenna but, if you could activate the chip, this device can use a wired headphones plugged in as the antenna. You would also need to have an FM Radio app like NextRadio to use it as well.

I don't know why or how they decided not to activate the FM Chip but, I can only think of this as a Samsung decision or even a Carrier decision (or both).

What can you do now?

Your best bet is to ask within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device for some member guidance.
