Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight and posted about A/B instead of Treble. Oops. What isn't wrong however is that for project Treble to be a thing on this device it would need support from Motorola. That's not happening.

I dropped the device while out skating. The screen broke and it seems mobile networks are no longer working. Is it possible to fix this myself? Is this realistic? Is it even repairable? (I'm assuming I need a new chip) thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Siljorfag:
Does Your phone detect Sim cards? Try to put Your sim in the slot2. Is Wifi or bluetooth working?

Check if Your back panel is bent. Squezze back panel near camera and bottom of a phone and while holding see if reception is back again. I'm not 100% sure but I think that antennas are on a back panel of the device, and maybe after drop they got disconnected from the motherboard.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] azilko:
Ok, so i installed a new rom yesterday, and when i went to sync up WMDC, it basically crashed on me. So i uninstalled WMDC, found the lastest one on MS's website, and after a reboot, installed it. Now the problem is, is that when i try to open WMDC, i get an error "Windows Mobile Device Center has stopped working". I have tried uninstalling the hardware driver for the phone, and then reinstalling WMDC, but i get the same issue. One other thing, in my Add/Remove Programs, i see WMDC, and WMDC Driver Update. I cannot uninstall the Driver Update for the life of me.

I have searced for about 6 hours straight trying out everything i could find, but have had no luck. Any ideas?

I am running Vista. (the error starts even though the phone has not been plugged in via usb (even after a new install)). So that should mean that the phone nor the rom has anything to do w/ this.

I appriciate any ideas/help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Iridious:
When I got my 8525 I had that problem. When I upgraded to the tilt I had that same issue. Try going to the connections tab "USB to PC" and uncheck "Enable Advanced network functionality".

That should work.

Hi guys. I tested today meizu mx5 camera app port for kk/lp

The camera works so well in stock fireos, but photos made with flash are overexposed, so this is the only bug. Also I didn t tested video recording, but photos looks like stock camera from fireos.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] annunna:
i just flash the twrp flashable stock rom on my moto g4 play(xt1602), but for some reason it was bugged as some of the apps inside the rom itself were not working, so i decided to flash aex rom which i used earlier on my phone. But as i flashed it, the twrp progress bar got stuck at

(patching system image unconditionally)

so i left it for 15 minutes to work. It didn't work, so i got mad and reconnected the battery by my self, and now my phone keeps repeating the boot logo, and nothing happens, i can still go to the fastboot menu(bootloader), but i cannot go to the recovery, because it starts looping again, so i flashed the stock firmware and tried to lock the bootloader manually, all the processes go without error but it just doesn't work.

Please help me, i love you guys and specially [MENTION=5566914]ishubhamsingh[/MENTION] for developing aex for my phone.

My Samsung tab S3 is hardbricked and showing up as Qloader 900e on device manager. I know there is an sd card way to unbrick it. But how much i try, im unable to get the device to boot. Anyone has any solution other than create own debrick file or jtag. Perhaps a working debrick image for the device..

hello,

is it possible for someone to direct me to a working tutorial for changing the firmware of a ascend g750?

i still got one, it is my backup phone and i need to start using it. My main phone needs to be send back for repair.

the only problem with the huawei is it doesnt start beyond the huawei logo. So i looked for several tutorials but until now the one i found dont work or the firmware isnt right.

many thanks,

johan
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enkidoe:
Today i noticed that the phone started up into the dekstopl took him around 20 hours of so. But it still gave me errors(crashes);

the latest tutorial i used was this one:

https://firmwarefile.com/huawei-ascend-g750-u10

when trying to start the download, the huawei only starts blinking very fast through the red led(when pressing volume up or volume down). When placing the battery again, nothing happens. the firmware from this tutorial isnt the right one, its for india/thailand/vietnam and i need a wetern europe one. But i cant find any.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] GabbaGandalf42:
Hey guys, I am new to whyred , flashed alot on other phones tho. Got some questions regarding the process of things I have to do to not mess up. I would do it like this:

0. I am on 9.5.19. miui global stable.

1. Unlock bootloader after 360 hours (hopefully)

2. Boot into Fastboot, boot up twrp image via command and then flash twrp via twrp.

3. Do I have to flash lazyflasher when I flash magisk? Which version of magisk is recommended atm? 1600?

4. After flashing one (or both, I don't know) I would go with flashing aosip or havoc (which is better on battery, features and over all performance?).

5. Do I have to flash some firmware or anything?

6. Since I am on Anti 4 (probably, didn't check yet but I am quite sure since I updated on 9.5.19) do I have to be aware of something else important?

Thank you guys for every help. If my answers will get answered and everything runs smooth sailing I will write a noob/starting guide to focus the knowledge a bit more. It seems really clustered in this forum
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Do not flash any firmware for now. Since your are in 9.5.19 it has anti 4 enabled.. flashing firmware over anti 4 will brick your device.

Unlock bootloader

Boot to twrp and flash twrp

Wipe system cache dataa and flash custom ROM and gapps

Reboot to system

Reboot to twrp and flash magisk
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Username.php:
I still at 9.2.13 didn't update to 9.5.19 in that case I can flash and roll back to any firmware below antilock right?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Yes. If you are in 9.2.13 build then you have to flash firmware along with custom ROM.

But if you are running 9.5.19 build do not flash any firmware. Just ROM and gapps is enough
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Username.php:
Which firmware are you referring to? You mean I can roll back or do I have update to certain firmware to flash custom Roms?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Yes you have to flash firmware file recommended by custom rom developer to avoid problems while using custom ROM. And its not related to anti rollback protection.

All the firmware recommended by developers doesnt have anti rollback protection but you shouldn't flash firmware file if you are using 9.5.19 stable build or 8.7.12 beta build because these build contains ARP and flashing firmware in ARP enabled device will brick your mobile
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
I'm a bit confused here. I have always been under the impression that firmware = ROM (with other phone brands) and they seem to be discussed interchangeably. Now with my Xiaomi Note 5 Pro, I hear about these as separate items a lot. What is the difference between firmware and the custom ROM, at least in the Xiaomi world? How do I know when I am dealing with one or the other?

TIA,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Your understanding is correct firmware is nothing but a ROM, but in custom ROM, developers dont include bootloader (In custom ROM world firmware contains bootloader related stuffs) in their OS because they will make use of bootloader from stock ROM thats why developer recommended firmware files so that their ROM works perfectly without any problem.

I might be wrong but this is how things work here. If you are on lastest global MIUI beta ROM then you dont have to flash recommended firmware file by custom ROM developer
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
So when people talk about flashing firmware, they're really saying to flash/change the bootloader? Does the bootloader have a name, version number we would reference, or it's just 'the bootloader for MIUI Global 9..5.19.0'?

If I understand you correctly, if someone offers a ROM with and without firmware, you could install the ROM without firmware and it would work ok, but installing with the firmware (changing the bootloader) would make the ROM work better? Or just do the ROM with firmware if you have problems with the version that didn't install the firmware/bootloader?

I'm on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. (just normal ROM), but with unlocked bootloader, twrp, Magisk installed (I can't work without my Titanium Backup Pro!)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Most of the firmware recommended by developers contains older bootloader (Antirollback protection version 3)

Since you are in 9.5.19 your bootloader has Antirollback protection (ARP 4) so if you try to flash older firmware then your mobile will get bricked so avoid flashing any firmware recommended by developer because you already have latest bootloader

Firmware name will be based on global beta ROM version

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] polskon:
My Google play downloads over WiFi very quickly hit 15mb then at about 18mb there's a slow down and by 20mb I have a crawl in speed if any movement at all. Often I have to toggle WiFi just to finish downloading an app, unless it's under 20mb. If it's under then no problems are apparent. This problem was the same at my work place wifi.

I have now factory reset, and it's frustrating to download anything over 20mb. Nothing has changed. I don't believe this problem occurred before the final updates to the phone, when I transferred from another Android. I had to factory reset and start new without transferring settings due to a screen timeout glitch preventing me from changing dim settings. This makes me feel like it has something to do with the update to a newer build.

I don't seem to have this issue with browser downloads or speed tests. Does anyone have an idea about the problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] codeworks:
Same issue. I can flip over to LTE and it works fine and then back to WIFI which works for a few apps and then completely stalls again (estimated an hour to download Amazon Shopping).

Just got the phone yesterday, so not sure what is going on or if this is a new problem. Just trying to set it up for the first time.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Try force closing and reopening play store in app settings
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] codeworks:
Thanks for the suggestion; however, no luck. Downloaded an app or 2 fine and then hits the 17-18G app limit and comes to complete stop.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Just a few more findings...

Switching over to LTE works fine. Plowed through the rest of my Play Store Apps. Switching back to WiFi brought along the same issues again.

Everything else on the phone via WiFi is fine. Netflix, Hulu, everything.

For me, the Google Play Store is the only thing affected.

Thanks.

I'll try the other suggestions.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] italianace:
This is a known issue I've seen others complaining about elsewhere on the web. Common factor for most has been the July security update. I thought I'd try out the Android p beta 2 and it's doing it there as well.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00434:
I noticed it takes a long time to start the download. Once it starts it goes normal. It's as if Google is doing some security scanning or WiFi check or reworking the app for your download..... But wasn't doing it on my Moto X Pure with 7.1 yesterday.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
I'm seeing this behavior outside of Google Play as well. I can't download any file larger than 25-30 MBs from Google Drive without the download stalling. I guess doing a hard reset won't fix anything so I'm not sure if there's anything to do except wait for the next monthly patch.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Or you could completely ignore the post 3 above you where he references WMM and your router...

If what I read is correct... Google did the stupid in prioritizing Android downloads... So your router things it's basically junk, thanks to WMM... Turn it off...

Or don't... I don't really care

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aoleg:
Same issue as others reported; anything under ~20MB downloads quickly, past that the download speed is limited to about 100 KB/s.

EDIT: I want to point out that downloading any file, from any server (including e.g. a large document from OneDrive) halts to a crawling speed of just 100 KB/s after about 20MB. I tested my other devices on the same network (a Windows PC and a Moto Z2 Force), and those other devices don't have this issue. There must be something wrong with Essential's last update.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
I had the same experience. It wasn't even enabled on my router. Both my Samsung devices (Tab S2 and S8+) work without issue. I rolled back to 8.1 for other reasons and it's still not working correctly so it may be related to the July patch as others have suggested. Having said that though, my S8+ is on the July patch as well so who knows? Maybe just an Essential issue? Hopefully it will be addressed in the next patch.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
I am seeing this issue on AOSiP, not running Essential stock. On downloads (AFH, opengapps.org) and Play Store. And I don't think it has to do with the July security patch because the same downloads on my OP3T (AOSiP w/ July security patch) do not show the same issue.

I can reproduce it every time on the PH-1 when trying to download opengapps using Opera browser. The download is wire speed, then slows to ~100KB/s. Interestedly enough, the downloads from opengapps.org don't seem to have the issue using Chrome (9 of 10 times it is full speed for the entire download).

It seems like it is device related, but since I am running a custom ROM I can't exactly call for technical support. I am hoping someone finds out what the core issue is...

Does anyone know if the baseband was updated in the June/July release?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] :
Seems like things are fixed, at least with Google play... My apps this morning started instantly and downloaded fast.... Nothing changed on the phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
Experiment

The issue for me seems to be isolated to the 5 GHz WiFi.

Can anyone else try downloading a large file (again using Opera seems to trigger the issue more consistently) on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz? Obviously, the 2.4 GHz download is slower but it doesn't seem to slow down to a crawl...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aoleg:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Hi,

The speaker on the outside of my universal (the onw you hold against your ear with when the screen is on the inside) is broken.

That started as something like a bad contact (if I pressed the phone against my ear it would work, otherwise not). Now it is not working at all.

The speaker on the LCD side is working fine.

The advice I want:

I took a look at the service manual PDF I got and disassembling the phone to reach that speaker is a lot of work. I do have experience with diassembling electronic devices and even do some soldering, etc. However, my doubt is this: I have a phone which does work, but the way I like to use it to make calls does not work.

Question 1

Is it worth the trouble to diasassemble the whole device just to check if it is indeed a bad contact due to i.e. dirt? Or will I actually risk breaking something off, which will render the complete phone useless? Looking at the service manual, one needs to use a plastic tool to actually open the phone. How easy do the hinges break off?

Question 2

Has anyone had a similar problem? Was it easy to fix?

Thank you!

Cheers,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] scousemartin:
you dont need to disassemble the whole phone just disassemble the screen . It isnt that hard to do, just remove all the screws from the screen . The screen casing is difficult to budge at first but once you have freed part of it open, the rest follows quite easily.
