[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gd6noob:
I updated via the HuRUpdater method.

Downloaded the latest one for my deivce CLT-L29C636B151, I was on .130 before

Everything went ok, I rooted with Magisk.

Went to check the build number and it says im still on 8.1.0.130 but the Security Patch is August 1, 2018.

Im pretty sure before I updated, it was still on June security patch... definitely not August. So did the system update to the latest .150?? im confused..
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gd6noob:
Ohh.. I found out what happen.. I renamed one of the files wrong.

The files could have been corrupted.

Did you download the FullOTA files ? The smaller ones can give you errors like the one you mention.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Karinkhaotic:
My Samsung Galaxy S7 stays connected to Wi-Fi for anywhere between a couple of minutes to 30 minutes before dropping the network. I can still see a list of all of the networks, and this happens no matter what Wi-Fi I am connected to. My home network, my work Network, my friends Network. This issue began after I factory reset my phone and put a new SIM card in it.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated! I am with Cricket Wireless, have been since 2013 and I've never had network problems with them.

Bumping this thread

Does anyone have any ideas as to things i can do to help with a wifi issue? Whthere specific to Galaxy S7 or not?

I just want my phone to work normal again..

Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mb9210:
Hi,

One thing you can do is try is;

Click on the wifi icon in the shortcut drop down menu

Long click on your network connection to bring up an additional menu

Click on 'show advanced options'

And under 'IP Settings' click 'Static' rather 'DHCP' and see what happens.

Let me know how that works out for you and we can move from there if need be.

Best,
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Do you use battery saver? Also if you've unlocked the developer menu have you changed any WiFi settings in there?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zooster:
I've got a similar problem. My phone stays connected but after a while it says no internet connection with ! On the wifi icon. All other devices work just fine. Ive tried disabling everything. I also set fixed ip. But no luck. Problem persists.

Does anyone have a clue?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Karinkhaotic:
Mine has started staying connected now after an android update i received last week. I wish i could be of more help. Maybe make sure your phone has the memory space, and then while its connected to wifi, try and look for an update. Look for the version you have and see if its up to date. If you aren't able to get it updated on your own, you may take it to your carrier and see if they can help!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejlmd:
I started briefly on Project Fi, then Freedompop Sprint plan, and for a couple of days now Sprint postpaid BYOD.

Last several months, I am getting erratic and mostly absent GPS fixes. The device sees numerous satellites, but doesn't consistently and accurately fix location. Issue confirmed using SatStat or GPS fix and status, Sometimes elevations show thousands of feet elevation or underground. I have been keeping up with the Android OTA updates and patches.

I am unrooted, with locked bootloader.. Have tried data resets, sideloading factory image (temporarily unlocked bootloader), even had LG replace the main board (due to intermittent random reboots).

I just recently discovered that the GPS issue temporarily resolves if I pop out the Sprint SIM card, or update the Sprint profile from within settings. The moment I replace the SIM card, the GPS fails again.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] andygold:
I have a 64 GB card I swapped in to the G7 from an Optimus G Pro, and everything seemed good. Now, I'm finding that when looking in the camera roll I"m seeing a lot of black squares, where it seems that the images are lost. Going into Google Photos, they are missing from there as well. I'm seeing a lot of black squares with no photos. Sounds like the card is failing. I'll see about sending it back to Sandisk...

So, I ended up buying a Sandisk SDXC Ultra 128 GB card to replace the failing card. Do I just put it into the phone when it arrives, or do I need to format it in a PC first? Does it need to be formatted in the phone. Do I need to set cluster size, format it as Fat32 or NTFS, etc... I did notice that there were no formatting tools on the phone itself...the only switch I could find was to mount/unmount the card.

Also, is there some way to direct the phone to send all photos that I take to the card and not to internal memory? Same question with downloaded music. I think (but I'm not sure) that I want to keep the phone's internal memory mostly for apps.

Do I want or need multiple partitions or anything else???

Any suggestions?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
Put the card in the phone, I'll do the rest. If not, go to storage in the phones menu and select to format the card. The camera should also ask if you want to save to the memory card.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMv8(1day):
You'll do the rest?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] andygold:
From doing some reading on the subject, I think I'm going to set it up as Portable Storage, and not Internal Storage. I'm hoping that 64 gigs of built in storage should be enough for apps and whatever resides in the phone and not on the external storage.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Splice_9:
I recently rooted my Moto G5 plus and would like to check out a a few custom ROMs. However, from reading the instructions on a few custom ROM threads it isn't clear to me what to backup in TWRP to be able to recover or go back to the stock ROM if I want to later.

I've read that I should backup Data, logo, and boot, and internal storage, plus all apps and data with Titanium Backup, but what about System, System Image, Recovery, OEM, and EFS? What about persist?

Can someone give me a quick summary of what I need to backup to go back to my current state if I want to experiment with some other ROMs?

Thanks.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
Back up everything available in TWRP, including efs and persist. Then store it all on the cloud. You can never have too much backed up.

Too many people have screwed their devices in this forum by not backing up persist and then applying bad modifications. It is unique to your device and you can't use someone else's to guarantee full functionality.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] nicolap8:
I backed up all 53 partitions and stored in my harddisk. It's less than 5GB.

I left out only the data partition because for that I use Titanium Backup and RSync.

Yet I haven't backed up the partition table, also this is important...
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] M1810:
if i backup my efs and persist in a custom rom 64 bits that backup won't work in stock right? it is intact
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Backup everything... although it may be too late already, but any working backup is better than nothing.

What you should REALLY do is unlock the bootloader, then before you do anything at all one-time boot TWRP, NOT install it, and backup everything and move it off the device and to the cloud. Once you have rooted or modified your device, even installing TWRP, you are not getting a clean backup.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] prokaryotic cell:
Have anyone backed up and successfully restored a full partition backup before? I mean running dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p* of=/sdcard/*.img for all partitions before installing TWRP. Would restoring it later (after flashing roms and such) return your phone to 100% stock state, being able to re-lock BL, take updates and everything?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
No... there are some things you cannot write to, period, but the OS can (has to do with encrypted files/partitions I believe), bootloader unlock is one of these things. Many of the mmcblk0 partitions cannot be written to, you can really one write to about 8 or 10 of them via software without having an external writer (for the life of me I can't remember what it's called).
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] prokaryotic cell:
I see. Wasn't expecting to be able to return the bootloader status to untampered, but what matters most is being able to return to a fully working stock rom and take OTAs without bricking the device. There's also all the issues people keep getting in this forum - such as losing their IMEI, 4G, VoLTE - can be those be avoided (and even fixed) by restoring the right backed up mmcblk0 partitions?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Yes, you can restore your efi folder to correct this most of the time, if you have a clean backup. Otherwise you need to get it JTAG programmed
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pastorbob62:
Just to clarify that you understand, you can't return your bootloader status to untampered but you can lock it again. However it really isn't necessary to do that just to get OTAs. All you need to do is return to your stock with stock recovery and no-root (fastboot method not TWRP flashable.) OTAs work fine once you have done so. I have restored a TWRP backup just by booting into TWRP but it seems like I had some issue unrelated to OTA, although I don't recall what they were and is was on my previous phone (Moto G4).
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] kascro:
Installing now, will report after review!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
LineageOS and RR ports for this device are coming along decent. The trick is not the ROM itself on /system, but rather the kernel/ramdisk, which was specifically compiled for the TB3-850M chipset. Soon as I get a bootable kernel, we are in business with Nougat for TB3-850F.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pndwal:
That's good news. Look forward to trying.

If it helps, I kept the original Lenovo box sticker for TB3-850F. It says: CPU:MT8161P QC 1.0GHZ 64BIT. (So it seems on-line information, Kernel Auditor, Phone Tester and CPU-Z etc, are in fact reporting CPU / Vendor correctly as MT8161P.)

I was interested in this for overclocking potential, but it may help streamlining kernel for chipset. (I guess CPU speed may still be crippled by MT6735 hardware / SoC.)

Hope you get it booting. PW.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] kascro:
The rom works great, much better then stock!

Battery life is very good and speed is much better!!

Thank you!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
This is still quite perplexing. It does appear there are two variants of the TB3-850F -- an MT8161P variant and an MT6735M variant. Although SP Flash Tool and the scatter file both indicate that my chipset is the MT6735M, I went as far as to disassemble my device to check the nomenclatures on my logic board -- which, to no surprise, is the MT6735M. Since the MT6735M and the MT8161P are in fact two entirely different chipsets, the only logical conclusion is that there are two variants to the TB3-850F. Curiously however, both chipsets are listed under MediaTek's specs as being arm64 architecture with a max clock of 1.0 GHz and 1GB RAM. My RCA Voyager tablet runs on the MT8161P and performs nearly exactly like my Tab 3 8.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pndwal:
Yes, you may be right, but perhaps not the only logical conclusion. My thinking is that there may be one variant with MT8161P CPU and MT6735M board chipset. (Eg. Kernel Auditor gives MT8161p as vendor, but MT6735 as hardware, and build.prop also gives ro.board.platform=mt6735m, but also ro.lenovo.cpuinfo=MT8735P). This would most likely mean MT8161P CPU functionality would be somewhat limited by MT6735M chipset, even though the two must be compatible. Of course, if you found MT6735M printed on your main chip (CPU), this theory would be wrong, and there could in fact be a number of variations.

I mentioned earlier: 'Phone Tester gives CPU Info: MT8161p. Kernel Auditor gives MT8161p as vendor, but MT6735 as hardware. CPU-Z gives MT6735 as SoC. Build.prop gives ro.board.platform=mt6735m, but also ro.lenovo.cpuinfo=MT8735P. Russian 4PDA forum gives 850f Processor Type: MT8161, with MT8735 for 850M variant. (http://4pda.ru/devdb/lenovo_tab3_8:850f)

So it's hard to know what or who's correct, but

looks to me that newer CPUs have likely been installed on boards originally designed for MT6735

. (My CPU could actually be MT8735 as given by build.prop if Lenovo had excess chips from 850M, or simply decided to use these in both models. - I guess they may even have started with MT6735 for 850f before progressively using MT8161 and MT8735.)'

Also, the MT8161p CPU specs I found say 1.3 GHz (although TB3-850f is limited to 1.0 GHz), hence my assumption that a kernel modified to allow overclocking should achieve 30% boost easily easily and perhaps 1.7 GHz or so would be achievable.

If you did find MT6735M printed on your main chip (CPU), I'm happy to try to disassemble mine to see if it's a different variant. (Guessing this would confirm my original TB3-850F Lenovo box sticker which says CPU:MT8161P QC 1.0GHZ 64BIT).

I'll do more digging into this if you think it may help with port or overclocking.

Hope it leads to some improvements anyway. Thanks for your efforts with our device. :) PW.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
I see what you're saying, but let me emphasize that the board and the chipset are the same entity. If a device has an MT6735M CPU, it's hardware (or board platform) is also MT6735M. And vice versa for the MT8161P. The MT6735M and the MT8161P are both very different CPU/board platforms, but with very similar specs.

Same with Qualcomm, a MSM8909 CPU has an MSM8909 board platform.

The ro.board.platform (build.prop) of my Tab 3 8 has the MT6735M correct, as is my hardware confirmed by disassembly.

For an example, my RCA Voyager 7" tablet has the MT8161P CPU, supported by the MT8161P board platform (chipset).

With MediaTek, a failsafe way of checking hardware specs (aside from disassembly) is using the SP Flash Tool w/scatter file.

There is some room for overclock with the mt6735m. The mt6735 for example (without the "m" suffix) has a max clock of 1.394 GHz. The mt6735m is simply a ramped down version of the mt6735. Hardware wise, the mt6735 and mt6735m are the same. The difference arises in the coding of the kernel/ramdisk configs.

So, you and I agree on overclocking potential, albeit for different reasons.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pndwal:
Thanks for that. Just though lenovo may have decided to use old board stock if pin outs still compatible with newer CPU, but I have no knowledge if this is possible in practice.

From what you're saying seems TB3-850F would have had two or more different sets of box specs, which I had thought would be illogical for one model, but I guess I'm wrong.

I'll open mine up sometime just to physically check chipset is in fact MT8161P as claimed on box. (How can I use scatter file to check specs?)

Guess knowledge of variants produced may prove useful in any case. Thanks for your attention to detail here. Hope port(s) are progressing well. PW.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
Thank you also [MENTION=7550078]pndwal[/MENTION] for your devotion and support on this device. You have truly delved off deep into both the hardware and software attributes of the Tab 3 8. I, like yourself, truly hope that future development for this tablet yields fruitful.

I have noticed that the official Lenovo user manual for the Tab 3 8 covers both the 850F and the 850M. Likewise, the open source code for our stock OS is for both tablet variants. Interestingly, the 850M LTE variant of the device appears to use the MT8735 board platform which, of course, encompasses an LTE cellular modem. I just recently realized that both the MT8161P and the MT6735M also have LTE cellular modems. I have an acquaintance over at Droid Hub who has a TB3-850F and uses LTE data on his device by way of a simple GSM SIM card micro USB dongle. He changed a few lines in build.prop to enable the Mobile Networks menu in Settings and he uses his device exactly as if it were the 850M variant. I'm going to try the same thing with my 850F.

As far as custom Nougat goes, the only difficulty lies in the kernels for both LOS & RR. Both custom builds have kernels (boot.img) compiled specifically for the 850M's MT8735 chipset. I'm corresponding with a friend who specializes in Linux kernel coding to get some needed assistance on converting the kernels over to 850F specs.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pndwal:
Nice work by your acquaintance re. LTE from dongle. (Does this somehow use LTE modem in tablet CPU, as I would have thought modem must still be LTE capable to receive LTE data. - or can non LTE modem transfer LTE with CPU support?)

Regarding TB3-850F variants, it seems here are probably a few. TB3-850F is not the full model number. There are also Machine Types (ZA17 for TB3-850F [https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/za/en/products/tablets/a-series/tab3-8/za17/parts/PD104294] and ZA18 for TB3-850M [https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/za/en/products/tablets/a-series/tab3-8/za18/parts/PD104294]), and Machine Type Model No.s. For example, my box label says Machine Type Model No. :ZA170082AU. There is also ZA170001US, etc.

I guess the extension numbers (0082AU etc) identify different variants within the series (TB3-850F, or ZA17), eg different chipsets as we have deduced, as well as other differences (eg. Lenovo's specs mentions 1GB/16GB RAM as well as 2GB/16GB variants of TB3-850F, and Lenovo's Hardware maintenance manual (good photos of internals here too, bit no chipset identification shown) [https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_tab3_8_hmm_en_v1.0_201604.pdf] lists different parts for black or white models, for 2 MPixel or 5 MPixel rear camera models, and for models with WiFi antenna only or WiFi, BT and GPS in combination it seems.) Seems these variants are largely determined by market location, but 1GB/16GB RAM versions are probably the most common. Hope this helps.

Glad to know you have Linux kernel specialist friend. This will no doubt prove invaluable. I trust you revel in a steep learning curve!

Did a little digging on scatter files. Would I be right in thinking that scatter files generated from different variants might provide enough information to make a kernel work across the 850F range? Regards, PW
