Is the September update ok??
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CM17X:
Since the laat update im getting this annoying message, the fingerprint goes completely unusable and it is pretty random. It sometimes work and sometimes don't. After restart or turning on it works, but at some point it stopped.

No drops or similar situations to believe it got it damage.

Any one experiencing this?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
I had this issue once, but it was due to drops, the cable connected to the fingerprint scanner inside the device was a little loose, so all they did was tighten it

you might think its not due to heavy drops, but the slightest drops could cause a disconnection I dont think the issue is software related, if so try different ways, try getting back to nougat, or using xperia companion for software repair, try these methods if the issue persists it means it is a hardware related issue.

I also think its the case because even when the device get the easiest drop that to you its not even concidered a drop, could cause an issue in this particular device.

dont worry, nothing is damaged if you are under warranty and the device looks undamaged as you claim, then you should be covered.

even if youre not under warranty, send your device to sony center, tell them about the problem, i dont think it would cost you so much.

its just a matter of tightening the cables and connections (in my opinion).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CM17X:
Im not sure. After hard reset, it tarted to work normally and actually asked me for fingrprints, bt after set up all the phone, even the software option to manage your finger prints was gone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
yes it does seem like a loose connection, some times the electric circle is ok then the fingerprint works for a while, then outta no where the cord connecting of the fingerprint to the motherboard gets some how slightly moved from its position then the electric circle is open and there is no connection from the motherboard to the Fingerprint scanner so it does seem like that, if youre still uncertain you can always perform a software repair or revert back to nougat but I'm almost certain that its NOT a software related issue.

I do suggest you sending your device to a Sony center in your area to have it looked at.

even if youre not under warranty, tell them you highly believe its just a connection issue, it shouldnt cost much, but if they checked and claim that its something rather so expensive, you can deny their request of fixing the issue.

but again if you are certain your device looks undamaged and as good as new with only minor scratches and no sign of a significant drop damage or water damage then in my opinion youre good to go.

If you also think Sony will use any excuse to make you pay for only "spectating" your device for issues in case you are not under warranty, if the amount is low I think its only fair you confirm the suggestion.

in case you think they would charge you so much and you are uncertain of how much they would make you pay, I believe a phone call to Sony center for information confirmation should tell you exactly what you need to know.

in case none of the solutions were good enough for you, you can always use Youtube or Google to help you open your device by yourself and make sure the fingerpring scanner is perfectly connected, or buy that part by your self and install it if you think it would be a more cost efficient solution.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CM17X:
This is bad.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
no its not really bad dude, call sony support center in your area and ask for information on the problem and ask them if they charge a lot

are you not under warranty?

[General Questions and Answers] abunda77:
hi i tried to unlock bootloader of my coolpad e571 with qualcomm snapdragon 410 msm8916

my phone is already rooted by kingroot since no other option worked and replaced kinguser with supersu

now i'm trying to unlock bootloader

i already installed adb and fastboot and my device driver

so i started with "adb reboot bootloader"

wich rebooted me to something that says "download and install package" with volume up to continue and down to cancel. of course i press volume up

and said "information do not take off the data cable" right now my device bootloader interface showed up at the device manager wich i think fastboot command is supposed to work

i tried "fastboot devices" doesnt do anything not even a word

and so i used special command "fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices" and it shows number wich is the same when i use "adb devices"

but any other command doesnt work like "fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot", "fastboot -i 0x1ebf get_unlock_ability"

so i looked around and my cpu qualcomm snapdragon 410 msm8916 has fastboot command disabled from the pdf file of the qualcomm websites that says

any idea thanks

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purpleonyx:
I'm unsure how I arrived to these issues, but hoping someone can offer suggestions. I have multiple Moto X 2014's and the issue I am experiencing is limited to a single device.

The device is not being recognized via USB connection to a Windows 10 system. It is the same cable, same USB port, same drivers installed that the other Moto X 2014's work with, isolating the problem to this specific device.

As far as I know, the bootloader on this device has not been officially unlocked via the Motorola/Lenovo website as I have done with the others.

Under Developer options, I have ensured that USB debugging is enabled and the USB function is configured for MTP. What is odd is it seems to try to change to "Charging Only" whenever I attempt to select any option, but with a little finagling, can get it to stay locked to MTP mode. This may imply the firmware applied at some point may have been corrupt, or that there is physical damage to the device or component.

I do have access to the AP Fastboot mode screen and subsequent bootloader/recovery screen.

No matter what I attempt to flash from the bootloader/recovery screen, including official system images, bootloader, and recovery, they all fail with:

E: footer is wrong

E: signature verification failed

Was this the result of a possibly botched upgrade from Kitkat 4.4.4 to Marshmallow 6.0 at some point?

My first question is, seeing as I do have access to the bootloader/recovery screen and can load a zip file (from normal boot-up into OS via website download), is it possible to create a .zip file that will issue the equivalent to "fastboot oem unlock ..." via the internal storage/sd card, effectively obtaining the unique oem code, and thereafter, issuing the unlock key?

Second, and quite possibly a hurdle of my first question, how do I get around the footer/signature errors when flashing any file without a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM installed to disable signature verification and such?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

can I flash miui 10 global beta via updater?

ps: oem is locked
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Ponchikii:
yes use global beta 8.24 then update from updater to latest miui 10
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] ridersam:
I guess that will wipe data and mi account will be logged out due to which the 15 days waiting timer to unlock the oem will be reset, so is it a good option to update?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Ponchikii:
yes will reset timer for sure, if have left few days better wait. i did it and lost 3 days lol bummer. in 2 weeks i think from miui forums will have global miui 10 stable ,so anyway will need to wipe again to install it will not install from beta to global, and this will need unlocking permissions. they became very efficient in blocking this kinda bypasses maybe new team :)

ps: as well ive read that the 8.24 method is blocked as well so no way besides to wait for unlock.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Skuddman:
Good Morning/Afternoon Ladies & Gents,

I currently have the US Verizon Note-8. I just recently updated it to U4CRF3 firmware. Is there any way that I can downgrade it to U3 that way I can root my device. I tried to do research the last 30-minutes and was unsuccessful on finding if anything has been posted pertaining to this. So, I apologize in advanced if I missed it.

Thanks in advance, again for all that you all do here. It really is greatly appreciated. Just trying to get this taken care of so I can begin the Root process on my device. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
The U4 indicates the bootloader version, you can not go back to U3, as I have read around here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Skuddman:
Damn lol. That sucks. :( So, as of right now. I am **** out of luck if I want to root my phone?

Thank you again. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] The_Keeper86:
Pretty much man. I ended up going back to stock and thought it was a good idea to update. Big mistake. Now I miss root even more. Hopefully SamFail will get figured out for U4.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Milly7:
I am running an XZ1 Compact US version stock and locked bootloader. I am on the 47.1.A.12.205 firmware and when I go to smart Lock in settings it is blank. Has anyone else had this issue?

Trying to upload screenshots but cannot currently.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Apparently the smartlock feature has been fixed in the latest firmware update.

But if you want to see the page before you update, open settings\lock screen & security, scroll to the bottom and disable smart lock (google) under trust agents, reboot the phone, go back to trust agents, enable smart lock (google), now go back to the smart lock settings and they will be visable.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Latest firmware has not fixed the issue, at least not for me. Smart lock settings still are blank after every reboot. I still have to use the trust agent trick and reboot again.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andybones:
htc 10, 7.1.2 LOS ROM, same issue here.

after trying everything mentioned, nothing worked.

so I downloaded a newer google play services via apkmirror

it actually froze the device when trying to enter smart lock... thus I went to apps and uninstalled back to the previous version.

bingo bango we have smart lock settings.

worth a try, you lose no data, and is quicker than clearing cache ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
U should wait and see if it lasts...

We already know how to make it appear again. The problem is that after a few days, it goes back empty again.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andybones:
I've been checking it multiple times, I'll report in a few days. This was just something that worked for me and shared. :good:

. Also different phones, but where's the harm in trying to help?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
Updates?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Smart lock is broken. It holds 'trusted devices' for a couple of days, sometimes only hours. It then resets itself and goes back to a blank page. Google don't seem to be interested in fixing it and although Sony keep up with the security updates, it's not covered by that. Don't hold your breath fir a fix anytime soon.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
I was asking to andybones, he was trying a new Google play services, as u can read above...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
As I said, I wouldn't hold your breath. The official Google forum still has no fix.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andybones:
Hey, sorry for not posting sooner, totally forgot.

I hadn't been checking it, but I only use the on body detection. Is the issue that it is blank AND the services stop working, or is it the blank page problem only?

Onbody detection has been working for me since last posting but as mentioned, forgot to keep checking for blank page. Right now I checked and it isn't blank, however, I do flash gapps relatively often to update the apps. I last did this 2 days ago and I'm thinking that is why it isn't blank right now, but I do feel this is a Google issue as it's on multiple devices and my "method" was just another temp. way around the issue.

I will keep checking daily and post again, (I'll try not to forget again) but I do feel it will be blank soon. I wish we could find a permanent solution, but seems that is on Google.

Didn't mean to stir anything up in the thread here, I was just posting what my phone behavior was.

I'll turn on trusted places and see if that continues to work like Onbody has.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] andybones:
I've been checking multiple times a day since my last posting.

So far it hasn't disappeared, but maybe it has something to do with rebooting?

Clearly I don't reboot often. :laugh:

Well... At least Android Pie fixed this issue... It was about time.

simply

1. flash stockrom ftf using Flashtool

2. boot till welcome screen and poweroff

3 connect device in fastboot mode and flash modded kernel given in the post and flash TWRP

4. from Twrp, flash MAGISK (instead of supersu) + SELinux zip (permissive) + safteynet cleaning tools.zip

5. reboot,

6. install Magisk Manager 5.8.1 APK

7. install that app which fails to work,

8. from hide magisk, select that app, this will hide root access,

9. try the APP, it should work!

however , if it still fails to work and twrp is the reason

then

power off device

10 . connect device in fastboot mode and in minimal adb window type " fastboot wipe recovery " and enter, this will wipe the recovery

11. boot up and try the app now!

12 if again it doesnt work! then

13. FLASH FOTAKERNEL only! from ftf, don't flash anything else! skip all others in the flashtool! this will flash the Original FOTA Kernel and that bank app should work!

so i gave you 3 scenarios

please be careful!

Advice needed

Hi guys,

I am still looking for how to root my xperia Z5P e6883, and I have found this thread which seems different (hopefully in a better way) from what I had read before.

My boot loader is unlocked, Developer Options activated, USB Debugging activated and also Unknown Sources on. I have done three attempts to root it so far but all of them failed. The last two have displayed the "installing error 1" almost at the very end of the Magisk (v.17 or v.19) flashing process.

Now, reading the above thread, I noticed that I should flash "SELinux zip" but I am unable to spot that .zip file in order to download it. Is anyone willing to help/advise?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] melphoi:
Hi,Guys..

I love this phone and this community, though from what I see, we onlyhave few active ROMs in development

But they are developing fast as new firmware out, but some of the country firmware might be slow than the others, and some people prefer to flash their own country CSC, without needing to ask the Dev of the ROM to make one for them

So can someone please make a guide how to make a flashable CSC manually (maybe for Windows user) or point me where I can start to learn, last time I'm stuck on "lz4" stuff :eek:

I'm not an expert but maybe a noob like me can do something I need without troubling the others

Thank you :o
