Hello all

I swear i searched and read and read so many threads but nothing works for my case

I have a J7(SM-J7310F) and a friend tried to rooted. I suppose he did it wrong from what i read all day and after the restart there was a verification screen and the only option was to reset

After resetting(and this is when i got it back for more research) i realised that everything was ok i suppose until i was stupid enough to disable OEM and restarted...

I get the custom binary blocked by frp lock on each restart

Ok i tried with everything i could and found in the forums but nothing worked so far, with odin i get fail after fail.

Kies 3 wont work for me after putting serial number and dunno why

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7-2017/how-to/stock-official-galaxy-j730f-rom-t3688096 i tried this and when i start Odin with the appropriate files

All i want is either to bypass this FRP lock or to to turn the device to stock firmware

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Slo62Runner:
When I have a bluetooth headset connected, and am waiting for occasional sounds e.g. verbal satnav instructions that happen ad-hoc as the satnav needs to give you a new instruction, the start of the instruction is lost. This may be because the silence between satnav instructions puts bluetooth in sleep/standby mode, and the start of the instruction wakes it, but not fast enough to get full instruction. E.g. satnav wants to say

"At roundabout take first exit", but what you hear is "take first exit". This obviously seriously undermines following a route by just listening.

Is there anyway to get rid of this delay.. e.g. preventing bluetooth taking silence as sleep time?

Anyone else affected by this issue? Will this be cured in bluetooth 5?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, and thank you for reading.

As the title says, I have a question regarding TWRP and Safetynet. If I flashed TWRP (as opposed to just boot it by way of fastboot) in Recovery, would I fail the Safetynet check?

My phone is on stock ROM, with Magisk installed, and Safety net passed.

Thanks for answering.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ____Mdd:
No, TWRP does not affect safetynet, you can flash it.

In addition: safetynet fails only if you install any mod that modifies/installs in system stuff,

example: xposed, busybox (in system mode), and there are many mods/utilities...

No need to worry about TWRP..
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] max19942012:
Very glad to know that. Originally, I followed a guide to root using Magisk from these found, and it advised to not flash TWRP, only to boot into it.

Thank you sincerely.:)

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JYPDWhite:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install TWRP on a fresh LG G6. I before updated the G6 to the latest available version.

So its currently running Android 8.0.0

Build Number OPR1.170623.032

Software version V20a-EUR-XX

I already unlocked the bootloader. Then I bootet into fastboot and tried to install twrp-3.2.1-0-h870. But after rebooting it with Volume Down + Power Key and reseting the device. I only see the TWRP splash screen after that the phone is booting the normal way up (and is reverting the bootloader).

I then installed (also via fastboot) twrp-3.1.1-0-h870. With this version I'm able to get into TWRP but this version is asking me for the password of the partition to decrypt. I didn't set up any encryption. So i tried "0000" --> no success. I also bootet andoird normaly and then setup a display lock screen with Pin 0000. But this code TWRP also refuses to use.

So I'm a little bit stranded here because I don't know what to do next.

Does anyone have a idea?

Greeting Uwe
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
You need to skip the password stage then format all. Type yes then it will work fine.

When it asks for password you can skip this stage
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JYPDWhite:
If I do so. I get

Then I hit reboot and the device is rebooting into Android and starting the first startassistant (so the format finally deleted something ;) )

Then I power off the system and reboot with "Volume Down + Power" and I again only end in Factory reset data dialog :(

Ok next try same procedure than above. But not reboot into system instead only reboot into recovery --> pushing lineageos and the other zips onto the /sdcard/.

Wiping system, data, cache.

Flashing twrp via twrp, flashing lineageos, flashing gapps, flashing lineageos su package.

Reboot

And I'm greeted by Lineageos. Thanks for your support.

I had my phone stuck on bootloop so I used LGUP to flash the stock 20o.kdz file. My bootloader is locked and I don't have root, yet my phone is not passing a safetynet check.

If anyone knows any good work arounds please let me know, if more info is needed please let me know as well.

Thanks,

PS. I've used 3 different safetynet checkers and it passes 2 out of 3

Jrummy safetynet checker - pass

root and safetynet checker - pass

safetynet test - fail

reality is i'm trying to use this old phone for pokemon go for my kids, i figured it was a safetynet issue but now i'm not sure.

the device meets all requirements for the game and sometimes will allow the game to be played for a few minutes but then it gets kicked out to a "device not compatible" screen.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] MasterJack1697:
My moto z got stucked in the famous Qualcomm 9008 Emergency mode. How i bricked my moto z? Or maybe would be better say, how Motorola did brick my moto z?

Yes I'm blaming motorola for this, and i have some good motivations for this.

I'll tell you the complete story of my brick.

I was having some trouble on oreo due to a failed root, so just came back to 7.1.1 and i was trying to go to oreo again by installing ota after ota. Actually i was able to install something about 4 or 5 otas before the boom. After the last ota the phone just turned off and after a couple of hours I noticed that the phone was detected as Qualcomm 9008 in Windows device manager.

Here the story get very interesting.

In fact i firstly tried to flash many blankflash files without success, seems like my moto z wasn't happy with them.

After some searching I discovered those QFIL files wich should help me out with completely reflash my moto z.

There was only one problem, Motorola didn't release the complete QFIL rom (for economic motivations i think).

So my situation is this

I have the .elf file releated to the moto z but I can't generate the rawprogram0.xml and the patch0.xml files (both contains infos about partitions).

But why I can't generate those files?

Simply because thos files are extracted from the GPTmain0.bin files (or something like that) contained in the QFIL rom, that isn't released by motorola.

You see why I'm blaming motorola now?

1)No direct factory for oreo (or at least i didn't find it)

2)this seems like a common moto z family (moto z play too have got this) problem, I've seen other people around here with the same problem, some of them have fixed this mess but some other like me no.

3)No QFIL rom, i mean, come on guys...EVEN XIAOMI RELEASES them. I understand that if a company releases this kind of files then all the fixing center would have less crying people with broken/bricked devices but come on, it's a shame.

I'm trying to get my moto z back to live from 2 weeks now, I think it's time to stop and ask for help.

If I've said something wrong and motorola have released the QFIL rom then I'm asking sorry but i didn't find them (in this case please post a link to it below)

If someone know how to extract rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files from the normal 7.1.1 factory then write how here please.

EDIT(MOTO Z IS BACK):

i've restored my phone thanks to an oreo based blankflash (and thanks to [MENTION=4150512]The Marionette[/MENTION])

here is the link and the short guide on how to do that: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76310273&postcount=183

BUT, right after the blank flash flash your phone will have the bootloader locked, and you will not be able to unlock it since there is no partition table inside it.

so how can you restore your moto z?

dowload the factory in the link and then in the terminal use this command

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

ok now you are ready for RSD lite, flash everything trough it.

Hope your moto z is back as mine
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] eLaDiio:
this files?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] MasterJack1697:
I've never noticed them. Actually I've never checked in the ota packages, so thanks maybe those files can help me even if normally there should be only one gpt main 0.bin, so i don't know how can i merge them and if it's possible
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
I had pretty much the same brick cause and I posted what I did to fix it on the top brick-related thread.

You should check your bootloader version and if it's below version 92.09 or something, you are fine.

And if blankflash won't flash things, it's either your cable, your PC or the fact that the bootloader in the blankflash you used has an older bootloader and you can't flash an older bootloader over the newer one.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] MasterJack1697:
Probably i have a newer bootloader then the blank flash one, i want to make a try with the QFIL method, but do you know what should i do to build a blank flash? I mean a blank flash with a newer bootloader (the oreo one)
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
The blankflash mentioned in my post has an Oreo bl as far as I can see.

You need the Oreo firmware( mentioned in my post) and the Oreo OTA ( link available in the Oreo thread ).
