Actually...

Actually flashing stock os didn't fixed either. Sony is DUMB. 4gb internal storage can be used for apps but other 4gb can only be used for data (.obb files, media files,everything but not app). It is like phone has an extra internal sd card in it. When i install large games like 1.5 gb, 30-40 mb gets located in first 4gb part, and the rest is stored in other internal but external-ish sd card. Simply, phuck sony.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TarekElsakka:
I got a new Galaxy S9+ yesterday and I am letting go of my old S8 but I would like to completely format it and return it back to stock first as I would like whoever takes it to be able to receive OTA updates and things like that.

I have TWRP and am running a custom ROM so I don't know how to go about it.

I found some update.zip files online which can be flashed from the SD card but I realized that they require a stock recovery.

Should I just download the latest firmware possible for my region from Sam-Mobile then flash it all in ODIN? And if so, do you have a tutorial or step-by-step guide on how to do it? I don't want to mess it up.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
I would download firmware and flash with odin to return to stock.

How to use Odin can be found by searching on XDA or by doing a Google search.

It should be noted that since you have already modified your phone (TWRP/custom rom) you will not get OTA updates even reverting back to stock.

Also your Knox is tripped and can't be reset.

Hello guys,

I need to receive notifications from some sites but that is no longer available. I'm on 5.1.8 OxygenOS and I have the latest Chrome.

As you can see in site settings the permission available is sound. So I can't receive notifications from this site or any else.

In the second pic you can see that google is allowed and 22 are deleted. Probably other sites with permissions, but I can't see them.

Does anyone know any solution or workaround to this?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SkuLL.:
Correct.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ferdieses:
yes it's true, but just because the indian version has sony sensor on the front cam doesn't mean it's better.

imo the global version is brighter (f/2.0 1.12µm) compared to f/2.2 1µm.

I mean yes the indian version has a lot more resolution, but that's not how it works to judge how good the camera is.

Hi.

I have a Bez Sony Z5 phone case on my phone, and I recently ran a CPU benchmark. The CPU scores had gone way down low, probably because of my case thermal throttling my phone. Is there something I could do to get my phone cooler, without me having to get rid of my case? I wouldn't mind modding the case either btw.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocagenda2:
it is well known for over 2 years that almost every phone who uses SD810 chipset throttles like no other and warms up a lot till the point when is unplesant to hold it....sry to say that but it is what it is...Sony and other companies wont admit it....i tried a lot of times to prove them wrong with every xperia that i had ,they never admit that the phone does overheat they will say that it just heats up so its normal(yea sure)...my last Sony phone was XZ wich somehow worked normaly but after using it for more then half year its heating up and it throttles again like every xperia maybe little les agressive but it does.now i use galaxy s8 and yes Sony this phone also warms up but doesnt throttle like ur crap HEHE. cheers :)

PS.

if u are familiar to flashing stuff on ur phone etc, ur only solution to throttling is to unlock the bootloader and root ur phone and then instal mod callled FSC(thermal FIX)...after flashing this mod phone runs cooler and smoother. i personaly tested with my friend´s xperia z5 and it works better then stock.if ur interested take a look and see... https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/mod-fsc-1-0-dont-sacrifice-performance-t3670586/page11
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jonnjonzzn:
So I was running Lineageos awhile back but then went back to stock. I am looking for advice to get back to a custom ROM again. My current situation, stock B35 everything with unlocked bootloader. No access to fastboot (understood access removed). The only way I seem to be able to access via adb is when phone is booted into OS. Otherwise adb never reports the device as available. I don't use Windows so maybe someone who is fluent to this type of procedure using Linux would be most helpful. I've tried booting into EDL but adb doesn't list phone as available device. Thank for your help.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Your phone is surely already unlocked so you don't need Fastboot. ADB cannot flash anything on the phone on its own. and EDL has nothing to do with ADB or Fastboot.

First of all you need to get TWRP. You can either do so via Fastboot if you have it (coincidentally you need TWRP to get Fastboot so it's not possible) or via EDL. To install TWRP via EDL you need to use one of the tools available, but i don't know if any of those runs on Linux (EDL Tool is a .bat, axon7tool and miflash are .exe). Maybe axon7tool, but I'm not sure.

Somebody tried reguest support of some custom rom ? I try it right now.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] kemoti:
Nothing will do it, first you need a working TWRP, secondly you need a dev that would do active support. Forget about it, Moto G6 (ALI) has no developers interest in this phone model.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Causical:
The G6 has been out since just May, what are you talking about? Most people in the Moto G series had G5S+'s where there's a **** load of development for and decided that the G6 wasn't enough of an upgrade for them to make the change, but there will always be a potential for new Devs to come to a device. I'll take this over to Android Forums for all I care and crowd source over there, there's always been a desire from up and coming Devs to work on low end phones over there, I bet anything someone will be willing to Dev on a donate device, especially a mid range.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Dadud:
Treble GSI's are the future for our phone. i already had RR booting and working with the official GSI available on the project treble forums. TWRP works, it just needs some kinks worked out before the broad public uses (have to wipe data to put files on internal memory, and some people have had success with forceencrypt/dm verity disabling)
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Causical:
Just for sake of discussion, doesn't Treble offer less feature implementation when it comes to actual device hardware to software "connectivity" [for lack of a better word] in other words little hardware side things that could be tweaked by the user with CyanogenMod builds per say?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Dadud:
im not exactly sure what you mean by that but i assume any hardware issues (i've really only noticed some bugginess with bluetooth audio) can be fixed with a custom system image based on an official GSI.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Causical:
Yeah, right...I meant like more system side like deeply modified frameworks and stuff and things that have been modded in the system like tweaks to things like active or "live display" or whatever. Other things like how notification LED functions and tweaks to the make camera actions snappier...I know there's more...I guess a better way to describe it is things that Xposed would do, but built into a ROM. Treble isn't enabling those things is it? Since it's just a software update that's entirely parallel to a phones hardware?

Try booting from TWRP loaded on your PC.

fastboot boot TWRP.img (where "TWRP" is whatever you have named your copy of TWRP in your ADB folder).

You can actually boot to TWRP this way without even installing TWRP. Think of it as "temporary" TWRP. I've done it to make a copy of an stock firmware image where stock recovery is still installed.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Glendog1:
Hello,

I currently have the following:

Phone: OnePlus 3T A3003

Recovery: TWRP 3.1.1-x | blu_spark v37

Rom: RR-N-v5.8.3-20170603-oneplus3-official

I installed all of this after hours of googling last year. I now want to upgrade but I am not finding many helping guides are upgrading (rather than installing from scratch).

I downloaded RR-O-v6.1.0-20180627-oneplus3-official and tried to install it via TWRP (after backing up and wiping some stuff). But I got the an error stating something along the lines of "this rom is for oneplus3/t" and your device is "". Googling lead me to believe I needed to update my recovery. So I downloaded TWRP-3.2.2-0oneplus3.img but I really have no idea if I should be installing this? Last time I installed the blu_spark variant but I have no idea why.

Anyway, my question is:

Given the above, please could someone give me a laymans guide to updating my Custom ROM and which things I should install and in which order.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Clean Flash:

1) Latest Official TWRP (Can be done from within old TWRP)

2) Reboot Recovery to new TWRP

3) Wipe

4) Latest Firmware (OB29)

5) ROM

6) OpenGapps Arm64 8.1 Nano or Pico

7) Root Optional

Don't forget to Nandroid first, and it might be a good idea to remove any security measures on your current setup too. (Fingerprint/Pin/Pattern)

Queue up the zips for Firmware/ROM/Gapps and flash in that order together.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Glendog1:
Thank you,

Some follow up questions:

* What should I be wiping during step 3.

* Should I install TWRP 3.2.2, does it matter that I currently have the blu_spark variant? (I don't even know what blu_spark means)

* I am just reading about firmware. I am assuming I need OB29 to work with RR-O-v6.1.0-20180627-oneplus3-official? Is that a simple process?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Just follow the steps. The TWRP you download will be an .img file. In the TWRP Install menu press the button for Image to flash the .img file.

For step 3, from the Wipe menu just swipe to wipe.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Glendog1:
Thank you, final question. I note you advised to remove security. I changed from 'Pin' to 'None' and gave me a warning about removing it which I agreed to. It still states my phone is encrypted however, and I still need to enter my PIN when restarting. Will this be a problem?

Thank you,
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dirk:
I believe removing your stored fingerprints removes the boot PIN. Don't stress if you can't do this, it's just an additional precaution.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Pin/password and fingerprints are two different things. Fingerprints are just a convenient method of authenticating. Removing them does nothing for the actual security with is pin/password.

The reason for removing the lock screen password before taking a backup is that if you install a new ROM and set a password and then restore your older backup, you can't get past the lock screen password. So, remove the password before taking the backup and then you can restore it later and set a new password.

I find the better option is to not remove the password and then, if you need to restore the backup after having changed passwords, you can delete the passwords of the restored backup in TWRP from Advanced>Terminal with these commands:

cd /data/system
rm -f gatekeeper.* locksettings.*

Changing the pin/password to none doesn't wipe out the on-boot password. However, when setting up a new password and selecting to not set an on-boot password will remove the current on-boot password for some users, but not for others (it doesn't for me).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Glendog1:
Thanks guys.

I followed your instructions [MENTION=1763460]DirkGently[/MENTION] and it worked a charm.

What you recommend for rooting the device and is as simple as flashing a zip file like above?

Also, is the recovery on a separate partition? So if I mess around flashing firmware/rom/apps and mess up, I'll always be able to boot into the recovery partition and flash again?

Thanks,
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Magisk

Yes and yes, but firmware may be tricky and messing up too much may render phone unusable. Messing with ROMs is fine though.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Glendog1:
Thanks for the reply.

I note that on the Magisk page it states:

"If you plan to flash a custom kernel, flash it AFTER installing Magisk"

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
That's ok of you asking questions, that's what this forum is about.

Were you able to reimage it, for mine it was not possible, I kept focused on the corrupted got.bin, but then looked it even further, and seems eMMC corruption.

Any gas that I wrote on it got damaged, even the bootlogo is corrupted now ( showing only half of it, replacing it completes but still showing old image) it is a shame as camera/screen worked great, but without adding, there is not really much that can be done.

If your target is to recover the data, by all means do not try to reimage it, boot into recovery and try mounting the data partition, once done you can either transfer your files using ADB, or by mounting a thumb drive with an org adapter and copy them from terminal emulator on the TWRP
