Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.

Thanks [MENTION=9125310]Botar230[/MENTION]!

I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.

Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again :D:D

Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.

[Android General] jmalcolm:
Please bear with me. I'm new to Android. But I'm a seasoned java developer. I have inherited a project with zero documentation that I'm trying to figure out. All of the text strings are retrieved from PreferenceManager and SharedPreferences. I put some debug statements in the method that retrieves the strings, and it is indeed finding a long JSON string with labels and values. But I cannot find the source for that. There is one strings.xml file in the res folder. But the strings.xml file is almost empty, and does not contain the labels/strings the app uses. I've grep'd the entire project (I believe) and I can't find any file with all of the labels/strings defined. I've done a clean rebuild, and this string is being built from somewhere. But no clue where it's finding it.

Can someone please help me? Where is the source file for this?

Thanks.

that depends whether android p will be on a device with msm8916 chipset.

As of now I haven't heard of any device with this CPU getting android p so it will be impossible to port to our device.

All you can do is sit back and hope that some msm8916 device gets android p and having the dedicated devs that we have only then will you see it ported

Tried new settings from o2 this morning and messgae downloads to 4% before I get the message stating unable to download message.

I have to say, I've never used MMS feature on my charmer. Maybe someone could confirm whether or not MMS works.

It may have something to do with the text format, not sure though.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Dan.Albury:
I reflashed the same rom and managed to recieve an mms from another o2 customer! This was after I resized the mazimum file size to 100k, not 300k. Later on one of my previous messgaes from somebody else tried to download again but would not complete. Im at a loss?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Ask your friend to MMS a single picture to you (below 100kb). See if it works.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Dan.Albury:
All messages were less than 100k to start with. I have tried a new sim card which is still the same. I can receive from o2 but not other operators. I did try to flash back to the t mobile wm5 rom to start again but even that has failed now as I get an error message 260 pop up! looks like im stuck with a partially installed wm6. any advice on how downgrade to wm5 so I can start from fresh will be appreciated.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Dan.Albury:
Ive just read a thread relating to problems with o2 and mms. seems to me that the problem I have is that o2 doesnt recognise my device from the settings that are stored on my device.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] djparent:
Hi! I picked up my Canadian P20 Pro last week and couldn't be happier. It's been many years since I've owned a rootable device though and a lot has changed! I've done my best to read through all the guides for rooting the P20 Pro and it's only lead to further confusion as there seem to be many recent advancements. There seem to be a lot of different versions of this phone too. So I have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer easily! Let's assume my bootloader is already unlocked....

1) there's a really great guide on rooting the P20 Pro using All In One tool. But that requires flashing TWRP to achieve root using Magisk. I do not require TWRP as I only want root and do not wish to flash any roms.

a) is there a way to root with Magisk and NOT flash TWRP? I can't seem to find a straight answer on this...

b) failing that, can TWRP safely be removed and keep root afterward?

2) after unlocking the bootloader I was welcomed by a terrifyingly orange warning about my now 'unsafe' phone. I've read mixed things on hiding this. Is there currently a way to hide it?

3) how does the process work for OTA updates on an unlocked bootloader assuming there is no TWRP? I've read differing opinions on the necessity of flashing a no_check.img to the ramdisk and have no understanding of the new security checks on these phones. Can I run risk of bricking my phone through an automated update?

Ultimately I'm scared of forgetting TWRP is on my phone and accepting an update that'll brick it. Any information is welcome as are similar questions!

I have a Canadian CLT-L04 that i rebranded and rooted to CLT-L29 with the guide on here.

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326

if you want better firmware compared to version 109 thats still on clt-l04 you can follow this guide, it worked well for me. (don't wait canadian OTA it'll take too long)

1) quite sure that TWRP is the easiest and safest way to root. Currently unaware of a better way to root the phone.

b) if you remove TWRP by flashing a stock recovery_ramdisk, root is kept. If you do an OTA though you might lose root.

2) thats here to stay i believe. Cannot find a way to hide it currently.

3)In this guide under the "install an OTA Stock Update: PC Method" you will find all the information you need.

cheers

I finally found the info I needed in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-getting-started-unlock-twrp-root-t3806180

Overall it was a very simple process and took less than an hour including reading. Once you've got your bootloader unlock code the all in one tool handles it from there. Unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, reboot into TWRP, flash Magisk and you're done. You can flash the no_check file over TWRP if you want to be ready for updates but I decided to leave TWRP on for now. Loving having root on this phone so far!

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] djparent:
If you do a full backup of the L04 in TWRP before rebranding you should be able to go back to it easily at any time, just remember to save it somewhere safe other than the phone itself. If you've already flashed and are looking to go back you may find someone willing to share a stock backup if you ask around. But always best to do your own backup first, then you can go back whenever you like!

I do have an unlocked bootloader. Truth is i'm addicted to Rom's lol. That in mind I have tried every Rom, kernel, flash-able zip within this Forum and I can't brick this thing. L04 Canadian. Lineage is the best Rom for our device.

Roms that work:

- Lineage - Hauwei camera can be installed and works, dark mode works well.

------- Doesn't work: USB-C audio, NFC, RAW Option in the camera, Second ear piece as speaker, main speaker works well.

- First Ever Android 9 - Being the first build it works well. (Note: When I installed this rom I never installed the RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip) Seemed to work just fine without it. I did run it just because I wanted to see if it would brick my phone. It didn't.

-------Doesn't work: Dark mode, NFC, RAW Option in camera, Second ear piece as speaker, main speaker works well, seems to kill TWRP. eRecovery needed to get TWRP to function.

- AOSP 9 - Berkeley-Flex - Do Not Use...not ready.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Brought S8 from Middle East .. relocated to India, started using it. Was installing and following Samsung Updates quietly up until two days back.

On Jul 1st after the last update, all sensors stopped working bare the Finger Print and the Camera.

Failed sensors I found out so far ... Proximity, Ambient Light, Magnetic, Accelerometer, Barometer, Compass, IRIS

Phone turned into a basic phone having Finger Print sensor.

All this for no fault of mine.

As you guessed, No warranty in India ... Only option given was to "Change the Motherboard" costing nearly half the price of the phone.

Not going to do this, as I have no trust whether this would fail in the next update.

Has anyone got solution / suggestions ?

What I tried

- Factory Reset / Cache wiping

- Taking to the service center and it seems they have flashed the "Correttt version"

- My CSC shows INS/INS/XSG

MORAL :- A Samsung update messes up their Flagship model so much.

have u roll back to stock?

Took it to service center and they say Motherboard (If there is such a thing) has been spoilt
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] leo31:
did flash my phone with different pda and csc number which not belong to my country.

everything works fine here. just see couple apps that belong to mexican carrier.

i think the ota update that u did is still 'buggy' . roll back to stock, im sure it will fix all your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Thank you and I really wish it does.

Question

1. How to find the pda and CSC thats suitable for my phone ?

2. I have Smart Switch , how do I roll back ?

3. I see people referring to some third party Sammobile etc. If I do that , will it void my warranty in any way ?

4. Once I flash to a different country, will I still get updates or after that I am on my own ?

Attached is my Phone Summary , I am not sure if I understood CSC PDA that well.. Presume its INS

Also attached is the Software Version
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] leo31:
let me answer to help :

1. based on your attachment, the pda should be start with your 4 last digit of build number, so it is CRF7. u can use and flash all the rom published for SM-G950F with pda number ended with the same 4 digit like yours (in this case CRF7). it wont break your phone, since the rom is the published for the same type of phone (SM-G950F).

CRF7 is global firmware. the csc number will follow the pda number. just find one which suited best for your daily and dont forget to read the changelog and review from user from xda.

2. u need to root first

3. sammobile is just a website that release official firmware for samsung. i download 8.0 update from that site too. its safe. warranty? the rom is in stock condition, so it wont void your warranty.

4. if samsung says they will give update to their device. they will give the update. no matter which country you choose, update will be given. its just about timing, when will u get the update to your device.

hope my answers will help u brother

Thank you once again. You guys help more than those Customer Care themselves
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] leo31:
if that not helping you, bring your phone back to samsung service center, tell them what u did is just updating the system by ota, which released by samsung itself. tell them your phone still on warranty, dont give a **** to their up-coming answers because it will not help you to solve your problem.

shout at them, you want your phone to get fixed on the same day, tell them you are not the only one facing that problem. dont forget to make video recording when you visit samsung service center. if they still dont want to do anyhing, and tell you to pay for board replacement, ask him/her to show their manager, now u can f*ck*ng throw your phone in the manager's face.

samsung release the update , the update broke the system, user need to pay for getting fixed. what the **** samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
.. contd ... FINAL UPDATE ..

Samsung wont repair my phone for the damage they caused.

Getting reports that many have got their devices repaired free of cost after repeatedly pestering the customer care. Another Technician revealed that this is a ploy to deter people from buying phones from outside ... PLUS .... enroll existing customers for their Extended warranty program.

Meanwhile :- I am sending this piece of **** ..... back to the Middle East for repairs.

Conclusion :- Samsung messed up their "flagship" phone with their own updates. This happened to me, can happen to anyone (even after warranty) So stay safe and be careful.

Now I stand corrected why ppl invest mere 25K+ on Chinese brands that almost give flagship like features
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
You r right. A service center guy revealed that talk tough to the samsung customer care, pester them with phone calls and they might take responsibility.
