[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] flash713:
Using twrp (I use the themed oneplus twrp from OnePlus 6 themes and apps section) v3.5.2-9 what I do is backup my user data partition.

Then when I want to restore a setup I flash OOS 10.3.9, flash whatever custom rom I'm restoring, flash twrp installer 3.5.2-9 zip, flash finalize zip, reboot recovery, flash gapps~ if needed, flash latest magisk zip, format data (swipe-yes format), reboot system.

Update magisk by selecting the app icon. If that doesn't work then rename zip back to magisk 22.1.apk and manually install it... Then I setup my account and enable developer options and enable USB debugging, make sure no screen lock is set, boot back to twrp, restore my saved data partition, reboot system. Done. That's how I do it.

You can also just backup boot, data,system and try restoring those three. Above is how I restore and works perfect.

I'm stocked by noticing https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app that connects to https://play.google.com for downloading and updating apps.

Since https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app, how does Play Store app update itself? Does the update come from other channels?

Thanks?

Hi there,

The Google Play Store app is frequently updated in the background, without you ever realizing it. Not sure about the source of this update but it gets updated after a time interval. Google even provides you option to force Play store to grab the latest version. But, source of update neither disclosed in app nor in the guidelines.

Thanks:)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznpiggy:
im on w10 and im having trouble using fastboot commands through cmd (in a folder with the files)

my device is not showing up when i type "fastboot devices" when i go into fastboot mode or flash mode

when i open cmd and type in "fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it gets stuck saying "< waiting for device >"

but when i use flashtool, it recognizes that im in fastboot mode or flash mode

i have installed:

adb drivers

fastboot drivers

flashtool

platform tools

android sdk

google usb driver

i have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them through device manager

my device shows up as "S1Boot Fastboot"

my main objective is to get twrp in order to flash oreo carbon rom with magisk
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaRazón:
Did you install the fastboot drivers through the file in the Flashtool folder, with the installation of unsigned drivers allowed in Windows (driver signature enforcement disabled)? Suppose that's often a problem.

I had the same problem as you, and I noticed that some [automatic] Windows update had apparently uninstalled those drivers. Installing them again did the trick for me. Good luck.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Creed14:
So I just replaced the battery in my Pixel. It died during an update (thought I'd bricked the thing at first!), so it's currently bootlooping. No ROM or recovery installed. I'm able to access the bootloader though.

However, when I plug it into my computer (tested with two different computers and two different USB cables), it doesn't show up. Not at all. Doesn't just show up as "USB device" or "Mass Storage Device" or any of that - it doesn't show up at all. It's like I'm not plugging anything in at all.

Now, the thing does charge (when powered off and plugged in, it displays a battery icon), so I'm pretty sure I didn't damage the USB C port while replacing the battery. But it doens't show up in device manager, can't get it through the fastboot devices command, nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

First of all, credit to AridaneAM for the original thread (April 2018 patch and earlier) and to prannoytambe for the updated manual steps (May 2018 patch and onwards).

Steps:

0) To avoid problems in storage mounting, disable pattern/password. When the process is finished you can enable pin/pattern again.

1) You have to enable developer options, OEM unlock and USB debugging before use the app:

2) Install adb/fastboot drivers (if you don't have it)

3) Enable HAL3, EIS. Steps below:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdullah-baig:
Much helpful,

1) please provide me twrp link for this method ?

2) what after booting into twrp ? Will it boot itself to system after booting to twrp so i can setup and enable oem unlock etc ? Because no one has mentioned that do we need to reboot or what after booting to twrp and also booting twrp is triggering factory reset , so what to do as you have mentioned that start from step 1, it will reset the phone again before step 5. Little confused in this stage
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:
All the files you need are bundled together with the original tool. After unlocking, the phone will reset when you boot into twrp. This means setting up the phone again then going back to step 1 of the manual steps but this time, no need to unlock because it is already unlocked. You can go directly to booting into twrp. Hope that helps.

Hi,

Just to make sure I understand this correctly.

1.) The automatic official OTA update is still available, right? eg. the DEC18 OTA will be updated automatically to my phone

2.) And whether the 'next' OTA will reset the camera2 api enable back to default?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:
1. Yes.

2. It won't reset camera2 api settings, ie, gcam will continue to work, provided you don't factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] waterfade:
Thanks! I really appreciate your fast reply.

I would need a bit more help from you.

I'm still stuck at step 'fastboot boot twrp.img'.

After the command, the commandline show Finish. The phone reset with the white AndroidOne page (its status oem unlock), after that you can see the running colorful line so that means it is booting. But it stuck there forever​

What can I expect here?

As the boot was not completed (suck at running colorful line), I cannot move further to phone setup to continue with 'adb shell'

I think if I'm able to pass thru the whole process, I will try to make a clip. Seem it will be helpful for everyone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:

Managing people can be kind of tough but it's best to always be level headed and treat people the way you would want to be treated.

There are plenty of articles out there that offer great advice. Since you asked for links a quick search and I found this article with some good tips an one I like is to keep your ego in check: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/223390

I recommend if you're going to be involved in hiring people you should know about the people you hire to know if they're trustworthy. People tend to do things over and over so I think it's a good Idea to do a background check to see if they have a record and if so what is it for. There's good information on background checks here www.backgroundcheckrepair.org/ and I'm pretty sure they're a non profit.

Finally, trust your instinct. I assume you're a level headed person which is why you landed this job. So that would also lead me to the assumption that your instincts or your inner voice is usually correct or close to it. If you don't feel comfortable about something whether it's hiring someone or a decision on strategy you have to trust your decisions making ability.

Good luck!

DISCLAIMER:

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

YOU are choosing to make these modifications,

and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

and I am also not responsible for anything happens as a result of flashing these files.​

Finally someone captured the Oreo OTA and I'm gonna show you how you can install it and be on Oreo 8.1.0 July Security Patch.

First, you need to be on stock NPPS25.137-93-2-5 , fully untouched, no root, no custom recovery, etc.

Warning: for some reason, at least for me, IMEI/signal were gone after installing Nougat through fastboot, but it was back after updating to Oreo, do this at your own risk.

If you are not, then you can download it from here and flash through ADB with this commands:

NPPS25.137-93-2-5 Firmware

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

Now, what you need is Oreo OTA, download it from here.

OREO OTA​

Now, how do I install this?

Method 1 - ADB Sideload

Boot your phone to recovery mode by powering it off, then press power + volume down until you go to bootloader, now go down with volume down to recovery and enter with power. Now you will see a message "no commands", maintain power button pressed and then press volume up button, if you entered to recovery now you are ready.

Connect your phone to your PC

Select "Apply update from ADB"

On your PC run

adb sideload <path to ZIP file>

Method 2 - SD card

Put the ZIP on your phone's SD card while it is in Android

Boot your phone to recovery mode by powering it off, then press power + volume down until you go to bootloader, now go down with volume down to recovery and enter with power. Now you will see a message "no commands", maintain power button pressed and then press volume up button, if you entered to recovery now you are ready.

Select "Apply update from SD card"

Navigate to where you put the ZIP and select it

Update takes some time, for me was like 30 min, be patient.

Huge thanks to:
