[Droid Turbo 2 General] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, the original Droid Turbo (Moto Quark) bootloader was unlocked by Sunshine team about 1 year after the phone was released. But never happened for the Droid Turbo 2. Whereas the sibling Moto Quarks (Moto Maxx -- I owned three -- and Moto Turbo) had bootloader unlock via Motorola from the very beginning. As did the Droid Turbo 2 sibling Moto Kinzie, the Moto X Force.

A year ago I switched the LG V30 and have found it to be quite excellent replacement for the Moto Quarks, and I'm sure Moto Kinzie owners who tried it would feel the same. And (as you know!), all LG V30 have bootloader unlock and root.

Which is why earlier this week I posted this to help:

UPGRADE to new phone

That day eBay had a 15% off coupon code, and I'm sure they'll do another before Christmas. But even right now those are VERY good prices to get what is still about the best phone out there -- LG V30. Since you also own the LG V30 and previously owned the Droid Turbo 2, maybe you can help spread the word? ;)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] cmrntnnr:
Hey [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], your thoughtful, objective reviews and WTF unlock are why I own two v30s's. I heartily recommend any of the us/ls998 models to those in the market for a new phone whether to use as-is, rooted and stock, or hopefully soon on Pie with DU rom. The display is superb, the phone sounds great on hi-fi gear because of the quad dac, it has a 3.5 mm jack, the camera takes awesome photos and movies. The water and dust proofing make it perfect for outdoor use. It also looks classy!

Even though it was released in 2017, it is the tops in 2018, as well. Like you have pointed out, the deals on ebay are spectacular. What is surprising is when people choose not to take the plunge.

Any advice on powered USB hubs for connection to a display, keyboard and mouse?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] ChazzMatt:
New eBay deal for today December 15, 2018. Buy V30/V30+ -- either new in box or "mint".

Perfect successor to Droid Turbo 2/Moto X Force, unlike "compromise" phones like OnePlus, which don't have premium features.

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] freebsd124:
Has anyone managed to install and run the LeeDroid Rom on the HTC U11+. I tried it and the install was no problem whatsoever. Before all this I update the software number to 1.24.401.7 (European model) Once at the LeeDroid logo it just stays there, without seeing any progress.

Any information would be welcome

Some addtional information: The bootloader is unlocked (thru htcdev)

Phone is 6GB / 128 GB storage (which shouldn't make any difference)

Did this with a M8 before, all the way (Unlocking / s-off / rooted / custom ROM)

LeeDroid says his current base is : Current Base: HTC Europe 2.33.401.10 (which I guess refers to the HTC U11)

The HTC U11 and the HTC U11+ have hardly any difference in hardware, so, where could it be going wrong; Am I missing something?

After checking different websites I found the answer. Yes, the HTC U11 has different sofware starting with 2.42.617.1 . So, in the end I've answered my own question

[HTC Tornado] ccpraveen:
Hi all

I have a clean working tornado, with VJ 3.3 WM6 ROM.

The phone's USB port is toast. Can use it only to charge the phone. No USB sync possible. PC (multiple PCs and multiple USB ports) doesnt recognise anything. Even tried cleaning phone usb port with air, brushes etc, nothing works.

Bootloader mode works fine. But I cant get the phone recognised when you connect it to the PC. RUU always says error 260. (This, after all the tricks..activesync enabled/disabled, WMStorage enabled/disabled etc etc etc).

Can I flash it to the latest 6.1 somehow?

Can I use an SD image to upgrade? Can anyone tell me how?

Or should my tornado remain as a faithful WM6 until its last breath?

Valuable suggestions please

Thanks and Regards

Steve

Try bluetooth connection with pc or change usb port from smartphone.
[HTC Tornado] xatzis5000:
i have the same problem

I have the same problem.Try to connect it on a xp system with activesync.I did that and it worked for a day on my vista pc but now it does the same as before.

Maybe its a registry bug because there many people with the same problem but what do i know...confused:confused:

Any help from the coockers?
[HTC Tornado] ccpraveen:
Thanks for the sugg, but I was looking to flash, not to AS, so there goes BT I guess..

Well, atleast three others have IMed me with same problem. After all could it be that a registry or a software errror could be at fault here? I never did anything to the USB port for it to go poof, coming to think of it...

Yeah, and all the PCs and ports I tried where on multiple machines running XP and Vista. Not a pulse at all..

Cookers, experts, please please..
[HTC Tornado] xatzis5000:
The funny thing is that when i had the original WM5 ROM activesync worked fine on every Vista or XP system that i pluged the phone!!!

Well i'll try to flash back to WM5 to see if it works just like when i bought the phone.If it's working then it must be someking of ROM problem.If it isnt then i'm going to put my hands up cause i'm not so expert!:D

Please we need some help here.I thing they are more people than us with the same issue.:(

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys.. I have oneplus 6 device..

If I don't use phone for a long time, it will affect my mobiles battery.?

Am working in oil field.. so I couldn't use it when am on site.. 42 days I couldn't use.. my rotation is 42 days work and 21 days off..

Should I full charge and switch it off or should I drain my battery and keep it off..

Any suggestions.?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastleo63:
Ideally lithium-based chemistry batteries, but only if not used for a very long time, should be removed from device and stored at around 40% state-of-charge.

Recommended storage temperature is 15 °C (59 °F).

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastleo63:
I think that OP6 battery should remain in place without problems.

Charge it at about 50% and leave phone powered off in a moderately cool place.

42 days aren't really a big amount of time, so there's no need to worry about it...

[Xposed General] RogueTank:
Just as the title says, the new natwest app update (2018 June) refuses to work when Xposed Framework is enabled, but runs find when the framework is disabled. I am interested to know how it detects when the framework is operational, and how can I fool the app into running while Xposed framework is running.

Here is my system:

Samsung Galaxy S5

running Lineage OS 14.1, rooted

Xposed framework version 89

I have tried a number of methods to hide the running framework with no success

Tried DotMod to hide xposed --> not working

Tried XprivacyLua, denying all sorts of permissions such as view activity and running apps --> not working

Only works when i disable the framework and restart the phone. But that is ofcourse tiresome, cos no one wants to restart their entire phone just to check their bank app.

Current solution is to revert to previous versions of natwest bank app, but again that is trivial, as sooner or later they will refuse to work on outdated apps and force update.

Talking to the dev team, the only clue they mention is their new app checks the memory for running malicious apps, and if it detects anything it refuses to run. So it is not safetynet (infact safetynet fails, but the app runs)

Fair enough, but ive tried denying it literally all permissions, both from Privacy guard of lineage os 14.1 and XprivacyLua, and nothing works. Either the app is using some clever method to bypass these, or they dont do their work properly.

I miss old xprivacy, where you had a billion more options within permissions, with info of when and what did each app accessed.

I need xposed in order to disable my proximity sensor which is broken, and constantly thinks the value is zero, hence blacking out my screen during calls

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.
[Xposed General] Didgeridoohan:
I believe it was with the 2016 November security update that Google changed something that forced an update to Xposed that made it practically impossible to hide. Xposed is easily detectable in the running zygote (something you can't hide), and the only solution is the one you've already found; disable and reboot.
[Xposed General] RogueTank:
i keep reading many times now "the only solution is reboot" - that is not a solution, we need to find a way to better hide xposed. Perhaps I need to research a bit more on zygote and find out and how it works exactly, and see if there is a way to mask it. Honestly all these android updates are pissing me off, its getting harder and harder to mod your phone, and I dont get why they struggle so hard to make it difficult for us modders.

I will attempt to flash back to kitkat and try, I would not be suprised if it ends up working.

In the windows enviroment you can always do wtv ur heart desires, and if that means destroying your PC so be it. But in android enviroment is so damn hard, and no devs want to share how they implement things in fear of someone hacking them or wtv. But all this is doing is hurting modders, making us hate some apps with harsh rules and moving away, doesnt do any good for anyone!!
[Xposed General] Didgeridoohan:
It's perfectly possible to hide Xposed if you downgrade to a security patch prior to November -16. You're likely gonna have to dig around a bit for the proper files and versions though.

And believe me, there have been some pretty brilliant minds that have tried to find a way to hide Xposed and found it not to be possible. Of course, "nothing's impossible" and maybe someone with a brilliant idea finds a miraculous way. You never know...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] chappski:
Hi. I've got G6 H870. I was running on Oreo V20A (updated from Nugat) via LG UP. Today i want to update to V20B. I've downloaded KDZ and updated by using LG UP ( i choose UPDATE option). After udpdate phone is booting to android with no end. I wa tried Factory reset (vol down + power) but it diddn't help, next I have downgraded to V20A after flash, still the same, after Factory reset too. Next step was turning phone to download mode, and repair with LG Bridge, LG bridge does its job, but no effect, still loading and loading. Please help me.

I cant even turn off my phone.

UPDATE:

I've flashed V10F and it boots! After android configuration i have connected phone to PC, opened LG bridge and it detects V20A update. After it makes it, its the same problem then before, didnt boot to system.

UPDATE 2:

Finally.. I have flashed different V20B update by LG UP from this link: http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/do...2TDAZ68215DKSQ/H87020b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0611.kdz

And it works.

I don't know why LG Bridge didnt do the job but now im happy.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] clouds5:
Thanks for sharing, one question regarding the update from v20a to v20b with LG UP.

Is there a way to upgrade with KDZ and LG Bridge/UP without losing data? And then I have to reflash TWRP and magisk. Is there a way to do all that without factory resetting every time? It's just a small update... So I'd rather stay on 20a and save the time instead of setting up everything from scratch. Even with Titanium Backup it can take quite some time..

Hey All,

This will be my first post here, so I may be a little different.. anyway the purpose of this post is that I done something completely stupid by deleting the stock Phone application on my SONY XPERIA E3 D2206, I can't answer or make calls, when someone calls me I loose all service to my phone provider and it says com.android.phone or something similar to that stopped, and if I get a voicemail it just goes insane, I keep getting notifications over and over and over again, and it says the same error, I was wondering if their is any way I can gain access to the phone app now by using .apks or something like that? I don't really have a way to flash any ROMs in any way, shape or form. Any help would be appreciated ?

As a general cautionary statement, when on a newer release and trying to go to an older release, don't use the flashall method. Fastboot flash system, boot and data separately. You don't want to run a chance that the bootloader downgrades. That might be one of the few ways to brick an N6.

I'm going to change from mi4c, which i have used for about 3 years.

My budget for searching of the new phone is about 490$.

After i surf the internet and done some researching, i've been thinking of either buying Asus Zenfone 5Z or Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.

Yeah, but the price will skyrocket two times than mix 2s, and will be normal in two months too. Its because you know, it needs advanced technology to manufacture full bezelless display phone with durable motorized camera. Why does mi 8 still have nonsense chin although theres notch? Its because xiaomi is still not capable of making chin less phone, include mi mix 2s..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Klanac89:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I think Xiaomi can do it but not at a price point that makes sense for them. Xiaomi is a value for the money brand. The only way to make a phone with an edge to edge display and no chin with current technology is with a foldable OLED display but that technology is too expensive for use in a mid priced phone unless you planned to cut some serious corners in other areas like performance and overall build quality. Xiaomi used an IPS LCD display on the Mix2/2S to keep the price around $500 at launch. Xiaomi doesn't have any models with a base price as high as flagships from Huawei, Samsung or Apple whose phones launch in the $800-$1000 range.
