[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
If you have access to stock recovery you can flash an official update.zip EVEN if you are on 10u, you can flash the 10u update.zip to get download mode back.

I don't have that zip, but I know it is around here somewhere -- you will have to search.

If you can't find it, I am sure T-Mobile will be pushing out 10v pretty soon. If you take the OTA, that will also restore download mode.

He's unable to get to the stock recovery
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
I interpreted his reply as: "He tried a factory reset and was still unable to get to download mode".

Even though he said he was rooted, I think what he meant to say was that he was TRYING to root. It is not impossible to root your phone without installing TWRP, but someone that is capable of doing so wouldn't be asking how to get download mode back. :)

However, with that said, if download mode AND stock recovery are gone, you are correct, he has a brick.

Should I root my note 8(n950f) or not

With pros and cons of rooting note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't and don't need to.

If you can't think of any reasons to root your phone for yourself, then you likely don't need root.

I'd suggest you don't root it, as you'll lose some security features and functionality of some apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kradcliffe:
I root to increase headphone volume and to shut down apps that are not needed.

It's a little bit of hassle but worth it in the end, especially as Magisk can hide the root from banking apps etc.

Hi!

I have found that there is no way to show notifications on the Always On Display that are not from one of the built in Apps.

While the NEX has also so notification LED this is rather annoying. I have contacted vivo on that but all they say is that they will give feedback to their software department.

Therefore, I hope, someone with some 'hacking skills' has found out how to get the notifications if Gmail, IG, FB, WhatsApp... to show on my Always On Display.

Any help or hints is welcome!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SFV:
One day, after my rooted tablet ran out of battery, it didnt boot anymore and there was black screen and something with kernel was written in a corner, i dont remember it, but the solution was that i unroot it and flash it with the right stock android.

I used ODIN and while it was like 25% percent flashed, the connection with the usb broke and then the flash failed and if it try it again, it fails again.

My tablet always loses the usb connection, it connects for a sec, then disconnects, then connects for a sec, then disconnects, maybe it even has loose contact on the tablet or the pc. (the samsung usb connect firmware is uptodate)

Now the screen is blue and it says: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery funktion in the smart switch pc software.

Pls help me out, im a noob in rooting and co and need ELI5

1. Force mode (voice + power slide + joy down + reset) cannot do it to load other rom. If it has other way to force mode?

2. Update formal rom by sdcard copy, It's cannot load "rom update cannot be applied to this region's version"

3. Botton setting "voice does not has = voice record function, it's disappear. It's might be voice botton doesnot work to do force mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrFlinTUK:
Hi There,

I need help with my S8, the phone won't turn on when pressing the power button even though i left it on charge all night even tried to boot it in recovery mode and ODIN MODE and nothing it won't turn on, the only way the phone comes on and that's when i plug a USB cable into it and it only loads up (SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 screen) and the only way to turn it off is to press POWER BUTTON, BIXBY BUTTON and VOLUME DOWN BUTTON to go into ODIN MODE, but that's when the next problem occurs it doesn't go into ODIN Mode just basically turns the phone off and also while the phone is on the same screen (SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 screen) i tried to quickly press VOLUME UP, BIXBY BUTTON and POWER BUTTON all at once and it does nothing just stays on the (SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 screen) even pressing the POWER BUTTON alone does nothing, but like i said previously it can only be turned off when on (SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 screen) when pressing POWER BUTTON, BIXBY BUTTON and VOLUME DOWN BUTTON.

So Basically,

ODIN Mode Doesn't Work

Recovery Mode Doesn't Work

The only way the phone comes on is through USB Connection

Is this a battery problem or firmware problem or something else

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrFlinTUK:
I have finally solved my own problem it was just the firmware

So here's what i did

As i plugged in the usb cable for the phone to come on i quickly pressed VOLUME DOWN, BIXBY BUTTON and POWER BUTTON to boot into odin mode and it actually booted into odin mode and i reflashed 8.0 firmware and now my phone is up and running.

So if anyone else as the same problem then try what i did above.

[Android General] ProttoyX:
Disclaimer: This is an open discussion thread for How to do virtualization on Android! It's not a reference or guide! But hope this thread can lead us towards making a way to do it!

Intro: Once phones was a tiny piece of electronic device which was mainly used to talk and sending text messages! (I am talking about mobile phones off course! :o)

Then here comes smartphones like the symbian one and then iphones and Android!

They opened a lot more way to do on a device rather than only talking or texting!

But still we needed to rely on laptops or desktops to do extensive tasks which we couldn't do (yet) on smartphones!

The main reason was the lack of technology or the memory and processing power limitations on these device!

I remember I bought my first Redmi 2 at a cost of 200$ back in April 2015 which featured quadcore Qualcomm processor, 1GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage space!

But now the time has changed! Technology advanced exponentially! After 3 years of my first Xiaomi device, I bought another one (Mi A1) with almost the same price! Whuch features double (on the basis of cores) processors and 4X RAM and 8X internal spaces!

In the mean time on the mainstream computing counterpart, virtualization technology becomes so popular that if not all but most of the servers runs based on it! We have also docker now!

We can now use or test any software/OS on any device (mainstream computers off course) by the grace of virtualization!

On the other hand, Android devs still needs to do the hard work to port ROMs let the OS itself! And yet we can't run Windows on a Android device!

But wait! Android is also a Linux! Isn't it?

So, if Linux can run QUEMU/KVM, why not Android?

And most of the Android SOCs now are 64bit!

So, can't we just make it happen? Can't we just find a way to do virtualization and run any OS on a virtual environment right in our hand?

May be!

I don't know if any guys working on this or not!

But here's how to:

1) Enable virtualization support on kernel

2) Make an apps for Android for manging the virtual machines (like VirtualBox, VMWare etc.)

I think the Android kernels (most of them) supports virtualization already!

The hardest part is to make it compatible with the frontend Android! Which brings the apps and interfaces!

I know there's wine exist for Android! But that's just a complete different thing what I am talking about!

And I wasnt able to run wine on my tissot (Xiaomi Mi A1)!

Thanks everyone who is reading!

Give your valuable opinion and ideas!

Hope someone like [MENTION=1844875]CosmicDan[/MENTION] can make it!
[Android General] CosmicDan:
ARMv8 (every phone) doesn't have hardware virtualisation extensions, so it would be as slow as emulation.

For that, we already have QEMU and KVM. But it's too slow to be of any practical use.

If you want proper virtualisation, you need ARMv8.1, which no phone has.
[Android General] ProttoyX:
Hmm! I just realised the hardest part: it's ARM and not x86_64!
[Android General] CosmicDan:
That's emulation, not virtualisation.

You can use QEMU, Bochs or DOSBox to emulate x86 (x86_64 is probably impossible, idk but it's pointless to try). But it's dog slow and always will be.
[Android General] ProttoyX:
Hmm! Got it! This thing came into my mind when I was reading about servers based on ARM! Wondered if they provides virtualization/container service or not! And ARM provides more cores than x86_64! I guess it's it's related to RISC/CISC thing! Not sure though!

ARM servers uses ARMv8.1?

AND PLEASE DON'T MIND ABOUT ENDING EVERY SENTENCE WITH (!)! PLEASE!

No one can always be rude! ?

I am surely not!

Again thanks for what you’ve done for the tissot and other staffs! You are genius! ?
[Android General] CosmicDan:
Yes those ARM servers would be 8.1. It's not so much a RISC vs CISC thing but more an SoC vs CPU thing. Our devices are SoC's - sure they have many GHz and cores but they're still a lot slower that a proper CPU which has countless of extensions designed for accelerating tasks, and have more IPC capability and other such things (in short GHz/core count is comparable across different platforms or architectures, it's more relative than that). Our SoC's simply don't have those extensions that would make this feasible.
[Android General] fxsheep:
Every ARMv8,and even ARMv7 has.On v8 it's called EL2 while on v7 it's HYP mode.However the biggest headache is that most SoC vendors do not allow users to enter it even with bootloader unlock.

On Qualcomm there are no way except a low level powerful exploit. On Exynos it is possible,needs a specific SMC to trustzone,and can be done only with an unlocked bootloader with custom kernel.

do you have any references links on this? maybe a cve for the qualcomm exploit?

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] greenza:
Thanks for letting me know about the audio quality via the Razor USB C dongle. This makes it even more tempting to pull the trigger and get the HTC U12+.

I've been toying between this and the Oneplus 6, due to the fact it's got a 3.mm headphone jack, but I'd be worried the audio wouldn't be too much and I'd need to start messing around with lots of mods to get it sounding good.

Just need to save a bit more now!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Even with the current HTC USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle it sounds much better. Even better than on the U11. The Razor dongle, as far as I heard might add a little bit more to it, but that's kind of personal taste.

Using the JBL USB-C Reflect Aware ANC headphones currently. Those are damn great In-Ears.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jcallaway77:
I came from a HTC 10 and had a hard time finding something that sounds as good... The HTC oem 3.5 adapter is sold out everywhere so i haven't tried that one. I have tried 4 different adapters from Amazon, one generic and 3 that are supposed to include a decent DAC. The only adapter i have tried that was as good as the HTC 10 is the Razer adapter, in my opinion it actually sounds a little better.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
HTC Adapters in fact sounds different on U11 and U12+. It's weird, but it's better on the U12+.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Jorgp2:
Pretty sure HTCs adapter is passtrough.

Maybe it just has an amp or something simple built in.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Kyuubi10:
Currently testing the official adapter dongle... using MDR-1A and spotify highest quality.

I am incredibly impressed with the quality offered by HTC... The dongle appears very good at maintaining quality, as long as your set of headphones are also good quality.

I'm quite disappointed in the quality of the included USB-C earbuds (after so much marketing of U-Sonic and ANC I was expecting something better. HTC 10's included buds were much better.)

The included earbuds truly don't reflect the quality this phone is capable of.

1 complaint, not about the dongle, the U12+ native frequency signature is a lot on the bassy side (at times, though rarely, overpowering) and the sound stage separation could be slightly wider for my tastes. (Though I've been thoroughly spoiled by using Dolby Atmos on the HTC 10).

As mentioned this complaint isn't about the dongle but the phone itself.

So if you have a good set of headphones jump deep, you won't be disappointed.

Though if you do decide to save and buy an OP6, my best advice is take those savings and buy a very decent BT headphone, because BT audio has less loss of quality than 3.5mm, as the DAC and AMP are on the headphones themselves instead of cheap ones on the OP6.

Though I can't prove it without further research (which I will def do), I'm inclined to disagree.

The adapter requires an app to provide firmware updates... Generally speaking AMPs are too simple to need firmware updates.

Also, i'm looking at mine now... and the case is HUGE... I don't see why an AMP would need such a huge case

Now, my gf has an iPhone 7, and her adapter has a much smaller case, I'm inclined to say her adapter is a passthrough. Though not HTC. It looks like a DAC + AMP combo.

As I said, I can't prove it without a teardown, but logical analysis would guide me to the above conclusion.
