[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinSpd:
pls can someone help me. I would really appreciate and honor you guys. let me tell you already what s my problem

I bricked my LG g3 d855, I bought it maybe 2 or 3 days

from now. and on my previous phone I rooted them

all without any issue and install custom ROM and

recovery which called (twrp or Cwm)

so this LG g3 with running 6.0mm frmwre I tried to root

using kingroot but it was failed bcoz of updated security patch and kigroot does not support that kid of version. so I searched for another method of rooting.

then I found some forum that has the rooting process for LG g3 which I followed his procedure.

then I downloaded the same os marshmallow but lower release date maybe. kingroot does not support marshmallow with v30c up so I downgrade my LG G3 to lower marshmallow version. which is v30b.zdk files.

so the downgrading process was successfully done and flashed through lg flash tools via donwload mode.

then here it comes . so after I downgradey new lg g3

kingroot finally worked, BUT after o rooted my phone. there's still steps to follow according on the forum.

so installed kingroot.

I had to download the following files like he said.

so I downloaded the LG root file.

note: I have root access via king root

then I put lg root files on my phone Internal storage.

then run the autorecovery file which is the twrp. via file explorer

then it booted and bang it says you can now boot into twrp received

but it boot and bang turn off and dead. no power no download mode no recovery no sign of light

I tried to detect it using qhsub Qualcomm or adb fastboot but I think I miss something. computer detects my device with it power off but driver s not installed successfully. pls pls help.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pawlshepherd:
Having some problems flashing to TWRP. Very new to this, so please bear with me and I'll try to give as much detail as I can. (Hoping this is the best place to post!)

I'm using a UK LG G6 H870 (bought independently via Clove Technology, so no network provider software), Android 8.0.0, Security Patch 1st April 2018, Kernel 3.18.71, un-rooted.

I recently decided to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP so that I can convert some apps to system files.

Unlocking the bootloader proved to be simple enough, although restoring backups using the LG app took a considerable amount of time (which I have found before when switching phones).

I've tried following several guides for flashing TWRP using ADB & Fastboot, but none seem to be working as they should.

Flashing TWRP itself to recovery works fine, but using twrp-3.2.2-0 the TWRP splash screen displays for a few seconds, before the phone simply reboots again to the regular system. The same happens with 3.2.1-0 as well.

3.1.1-0 will load TWRP, but presents different problems. I'm immediately asked for a password to decrypt data. Using my PIN doesn't work, changing my security measure to a password instead doesn't work, and removing all security measures doesn't stop the password from being required. When I attempt a password I get the following;

Failed to unmount '/system' (device or resource busy)

Failed to decrypt data.

Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a Format Data

Updating partition details...

...done

Unable to mount storage

Full SELinux support is present.

Failed to decrypt data.

Failed to decrypt data.

Failed to decrypt data.

Failed to decrypt data.

Cancelling past the password prompt leads to a question about keeping the system Read Only - regardless of whether I do so or swipe to Allow Modifications I am unable to find any files in the /data folder of the File Manager (this is the next step in converting apps to system files in every guide I've dound). I am assuming this is because I am unable to mount the system partition as anything but read-only, however I would still expect to be able to see the files at least.

If possible I would rather like to avoid having to format my phone again, simply because restoring backups takes absolutely ages (approx 10gb, often takes hours), and also because I'm playing with things that are slightly over my head if I'm being honest. The same goes for rooting, as I don't feel I have a real need to, and I don't want any complicated long-term effects.

If anybody has any suggestions I would be very much appreciative, and apologies if I've gone a little overboard! If it will help I can try to borrow a friends' phone to video the sequences I'm describing.

Again, thanks in advance!

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MarcelS:
Is USB port in Oneplus 6 fully waterproof? On that video it looks like. It looks like it was filled with plastic behind the pins.

Today I wanted to clean USB port with isopropyl alcohol and I filled port with that (I used too much of isopropyl). Now I'm afraid if some of alcohol could get inside my phone. Is it possible? I don't think so because on video it looks like it is 100% waterproof but I would like to know what do you think about that.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] HighOnLinux:
the phone isn't IP Certified but OnePlus has already stated that the phone is resilient to the weather (in example the rain, etc wouldn't really screw over the phone). I don't think the alcohol will screw up your phone, i'd assume the phone will be okay at the end of the day
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Isopropyl alcohol won't do anything to your phone. It evaporates too fast and is not electrically conductive. But this phone is not anything close to 100% waterproof.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
I have an Android One Moto x4 running 8.1.0 OPW28.2 (OPW28.46-18) and I am getting a notification for the OPW28.3 OTA update. I want to install it, but I have TWRP and Magisk installed.

I tried to uninstall Magisk and then install the OTA, but it said "update failed". Did I do something wrong? Do I also need to uninstall TWRP/restore a 100% stock boot.img?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] olive23:
You have to be completely stock to apply otas.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
Thanks, that helps. The only "non-stock" things are TWRP and Magisk. Hopefully restoring a stock boot.img should be enough to let me install it.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Neffy27:
Try this method.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] solara1973:
Tried to restore images in Magisk but got the message "Stock backup does not exis!"

I think when I installed Magisk I chose Direct Install (recommended). Does Magisk only create a backup boot file if installed another way? (Patch Boot Image File)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
Ok, so not only did I completely uninstall Magisk, I also restored a stock boot.img (from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77096052&postcount=2).

When I went to install the OTA, it said "failed". I'm not sure what else I need to do.

Well, I have a few other ideas... when I opened TWRP, it said I was on slot B. Is that right? What if I switch to A? Or what if I stay on B, but I erase A's system partition? Do I need to copy system from B to A or something?

OH! What if I use TWRP to restore the backup I downloaded to slot A, boot to that, then try to install the OTA?

Why is this failing even though I have a stock system and boot?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] MacFett:
Do you have stock recovery? Because OTA uses that, not TWRP.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] munchy_cool:
installing stock boot.img would have installed stock recovery.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
Yeah, the recovery is back to stock. There's something I'm missing, but I'm not sure what it is. Something to do with the A/B slots, I think.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] tormin:
I've been messing around with installing the OTA on an A1 phone today as well. I've flashed back to stock at least a half-dozen times. So far all I've been able to determine is that the OTA updates are supremely touchy.

If I do nothing in fastboot after flashing back to stock 28.1 then 28.2 and 28.3 will install just fine, and if I do anything with booting TWRP or flashing images the OTAs fail.

Also, the 28.3 update seems to take way longer to install than the 28.2.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] MacFett:
Do you need to relock the boot loader?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
Wouldn't that factory reset the phone?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
That's what I wound up doing to get all the way up to date. I flashed the stock 28.1 (modifying the flash_stock.sh script to not flash the partition file or erase userdata) and then I was able to OTA update to 28.2 and then 28.3 :D
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] tormin:
Unlocked bootloader worked fine for me.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] downface:
boot image it's your stock kernel, not your recovery. I don't understand how you get stock recovery. The only way I know to do that, its flashing a stock recovery and then fully unroot your phone, Now try to installed the OTA update. You can get the recovery image from a stock firmware, but to be sure it would work, try to use the same version as your phone is (Europe, Latam, India...)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
I think the moto x4 is a little weird and the recovery is actually part of the boot image.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] nabhse90:
How'd you do that? If you dont mind me asking, how to edit it? Thanks
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
I grabbed the stock image from https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/oreo-8-1-official-firmware-available-t3805173 and grabbed a "flash_all" script from https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348

I opened up the flash_all.sh script and just removed the line "fastboot erase userdata" (I also removed "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin", not sure if I really needed to).
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] nabhse90:
Yey! Thank you thank you! I can now update without having to go through all that process of updating multiple times just to have the latest version. So just removing the "erase userdata" is fine right? If I dont do the other it still works fine? Just making sure because I think Im just gonna boot TWRP and flash Magisk so I can stick to stock boot.img and just update whenever they pop. Thanks again!!! :D
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] NTICompass:
I'm not 100% sure what all the lines in the flash_all.sh script do, so I can't provide any guarantees. It worked for me to remove the 2 lines: "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot erase userdata". Then I was able to flash the original/stock 28.1 image to the system. When it booted, I installed the 28.2 OTA, rebooted and then I was able to install the 28.3 OTA.

I had to do this craziness because the 28.3 OTA was failing to install for me otherwise.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] tormin:
I don't think that'll work for you. At least it didn't work for me.

In my testing, just booting TWRP was enough to cause the OTAs to fail.

I also tried installing Magisk without using TWRP at all via fastboot and the patched_boot.img method but that was a bust too (specific process below). OTA would not install using the Magisk tips instructions. It also wouldn't install if I then tried to flash back the stock boot.img. Only way I've been able to get OTAs to install was to flash fully back to stock, or to flash almost fully back to stock as NTICompass did.

Attempting to use OTA update on Moto X4 with Magisk

1. Flash to stock using 28.1 image.
2. Boot phone and OK through initial setup stuff.
3. Copy boot.img from 28.1 image to phone.
4. Copy Magisk Manager apk to phone and install Magisk Manager.
5. Use Magisk Manager and boot.img to create patched_boot.img.
6. Copy patched_boot.img to PC and reboot phone to bootloader.
7. Flash patched_boot.img to phone and reboot phone.
8. Verify root.
9. Follow instructions at https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md to try and install 28.2 OTA - Result: OTA fails to install.
10. Reboot phone to bootloader and flash stock boot.img from 28.1 image.
11. Reboot phone, verify root now gone, try to install 28.2 OTA - Result: OTA fails to install.

Update: sorry didn't see the anwser posted above...

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Ok. So to be straight, what we have here is a way of Updating without erasing data, hence not having to setup/download everything anytime an update is applied. Right? So there's no actual way of keeping Magisk? Im rooted so I have to uninstall Magisk in order to basically clean my phone of anything that the OTA might detect as non stock right, and then if I desire just throw TWRP in again and flash Magisk again meaning that for another future Update I'd have to repeat said process? Am I right? Btw thanks to all who have answered my questions, you guys Rock!
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] tormin:
Yeah that's basically right. You don't actually have to uninstall Magisk Manager, and the Magisk boot patch will get taken off when you flash the stock images. Once you've updated all the way to current then you can flash the magisk.zip with TWRP and carry on until the next OTA. It's probably going to get annoying in a few months when you have to update through a bunch of OTAs to get current.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] nabhse90:
True... But it beats having to download everything every single time. Also, really hoping that we get Android P this year, even if it means waiting on root for a little bit... Anyways thanks guys, my doubts were clarified!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Ilanio:
Hello everyone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and when I try to screen mirroring the phone to a 16:9 tv, using a HDMI cable or through wifi using Chromecast, I have black bars on the top and on the bottom of the 16:9 screen since the screen aspect ratio of the phone is 18:5,9.

If I use the Smart View feature of phone to do screen mirroring, the app has a floating button where I can change settings of phone to customize the mirroring, including change aspect ratio of the phone screen to 16:9 to best fit on the TV screen without black bars.

See images attached. Only in Portuguese Brasil (sorry).

My phone is not rooted so I think it is possible to develop an App that changes aspect ratio of phone without root (at least on Samsung devices).

To help developing, I extracted Samsung Smart View apk of my phone to help on knowledge of the function used to change aspect ratio included in App.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
If you are bored of s9 plus UI then undoubtedly you would definitely get bored of Huwawei's EMUI(yup, has bit of lags as well) and Note 9 UI will be the same as S9 plus(with slightly added refinement of samsung experience) . So as per your question and requirement, you are left with OP6. OxyGenOS is a well thought - out one with some nifty features. The OTAs bring bug sometimes but overall its a, fast fluid experience without bells and whistles.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Except coming from an S9 plus the OP6 is missing some key features.

Sd card slot.

Ip68 rating

Wireless charging

Stereo speakers (although there is a mod for this).

Sure the device is cheaper and some may not care about those features but once you have grown accustomed to them very difficult to give up!

For example, me i dont really care about the IP68 rating but will not purchase any device without the other 3 listed.
