[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] arunmohan16:
If you can access fastboot mode , type command fastboot getvar anti and if it shows 4, twrp method is the only way to flash persist partition. If you flash any version below 9.5.19 which has anti v3, it will brick your device. Authorized Mi account or change of motherboard is the only way to fix this issue as of now. so be careful with flashing.

I have not tested this. You may try this and let me know.

Download and install ADB Installer v1.4.3 system widehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/wuqz7b2mts7i87w/ADB%20Installer%20v1.4.3.zip?dl=0 Credits: Snoop05

Download twrp https://dl.twrp.me/whyred/

open the folder in which twrp is downloaded and press shift+right mouse click on empty space inside folder and click open powershell/cmd window here.

type fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-whyred.img ( assuming you have downlaoded latest twrp and your phone mdoel is whyred)

1) When twrp is booted up copy persist.img to internal folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/qgo958k8m2lxlvy/persist.img?dl=0

2) Advanced -> Terminal.

3) Execute these lines.

a) simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img - Converts the image from sparse to raw.

b) dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name/persist - Flashes the persist block with new persist image.

4) Reboot to system.

good luck

I also think that this should fix it. I've tried almost this same method to fix the issue on Mi3. Just remember to get the right persist partition extracted from ARB-4 ROM.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Stinger2300:
Long story short my phone was in a pool long enough to shut itself off. I assumed it would never come back to life but I got all the water out of it that I could by shacking it and such and then started the drying process.

The only reason I'm trying to recover the phone is because it appears I turned off Google Photos backup 4 months ago (it was trying to backup when I didn't want it to) and forgot to turn it back on and now I've got 4 months of pics/vids of my 8 month old son on there that are currently "lost". That's half of his life so clearly I'd like to recover these.

So I dried it for 3 days, charged it to 100%, and powered it up. Motorola logo displayed for a few seconds and then it went to a screen that said:

Your phone didn't start up successfully, use Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device.

Connector your device to your computer to get software repair assistant.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)

Failed to verify hab image boot

Failed to validate boot image

ERROR: failed to pass validation. backup to fastboot

Fastboot reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode

I downloaded the software repair assistant and when I connect my phone to the computer it is recognized by the computer and the software also recognizes it and starts the "finding phone information" process where it identifies the phone type and such (presumably). Problem is it just sticks at this and never does anything else. I left it connected for over an hour while it did this. I tried a few more times with the same result.

So my questions are does anyone know what the errors mean, how do I fix them, and if they can't be fixed without a factory reset (or at all), what's the best path to trying to recover the pics/vids? I considered attempting a factory reset and then using a recovery program/app but if there are any methods that don't involve first deleting the files via a factory reset and then requiring a recovery attempt, I'd love to try that first.

Thanks for your time.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
I can't help you with the problem of getting your pictures, but I can tell you the "Software Repair Assistant" isn't going to help... It hasn't been supported for years on any model, probably 5+ I guess. It is just left over code that Moto hasn't removed from current devices that's saying that.

Most likely you eMMC chip is corrupt, that's your internal storage... If it took a dip in a pool, that's the worst possible place it could happen to get wet, chlorine and other chemicals in the water literally eat away the silicon internals of the phone. You would have better if to drop it in a muddy River or lake than a "clean" pool.

Honestly, at this point if the device won't boot and the bootloader is locked, your chances of recovery if any data is near zero.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] munchy_cool:
you could try booting into fastboot, go to stock recovery and then adb pull
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Stinger2300:
Looks like you need to know the exact file name for each file for that. Is that correct or can you somehow view a list of available files to pull?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] munchy_cool:
if you have enough space on your computer and you do

adb pull /sdcard .

that should pull all contents of internal storage to computer
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Stinger2300:
OK, I'll give that a try after I get the SDK Manager updated. Thanks.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Stinger2300:
Well, I can't believe it but I hadn't messed with the phone since Wednesday (when it wouldn't boot) and when I plugged it into the computer and turned it on today it booted!

I was able to pull 24gb of pics/vids/texts without any "tricks" and the only thing that doesn't seem to work on the phone (for now) is the camera (constantly get camera app has stopped errors and no camera apps will open) and the screen has some interesting artifacts like it's got a little water in between the screen layers. I'm using my old Moto X for now and I'm ordering a Moto X4 (waterproof) to replace it.

Either way, I can't believe it actually came back to life and I'm so damn happy right now! Thanks for your help even if I didn't end up needing to use it.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] munchy_cool:
awesome news. see you in the x4 forums :)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Ae3NerdGod:
That means it was still wet underneath/around the nand chip (where data is stored) causing the images from the stock firmware not to write (and subsequently fail) good thing you didn't fry it, anything less than a week of drying is pointless really and probably only survived due to the excessive shaking and such. Really the best thing to have done would have been to leave it on a car dash for a week. Camera would have dried out and still been working (betcha got what looks like stains on the sides/top/bottom of the screen)

In the future, non removable battery phones when dropped in water long enough to soak through, DO NOT CHARGE IT FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, DONT TURN IT ON FOR A WEEK. If you wanna be as safe as possible, that is.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Stinger2300:
Thanks for the info, hopefully I'll never have to use it!

Yes, it looks like stains on the bottom portion of the screen.
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers] CollinsB:
I cracked my screen ?

I can find screen replacements online but they're not oem. Does anyone know of a way to get an official oem replacement?

Also may be a silly question, but would the replacement affect the AMOLED qualities?

They have them listed as. LCD, so I'm not sure if it will still look AMOLED with all the deep black glory.

All the touch functionality still works. A guy at a screen repair shop said it doesn't matter I should still get the entire panel replaced.

But what do other people think?

if the screen is just cracked but everything works would something like this suffice?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07437G7Z5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NDMDBbVXQCCCM

Or would I need seething like this?

[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers] herb9876:
I bought a replacement screen off of eBay via China obviously and took a flyer. It shows up legit which surprised me . The Huawei logo is blocked with a small peice of black tape and it all checked out . This is kind of irrelevant since the eBay seller is no longer registered user. The reason I'm writing this is I believe you can find legit replacements on eBay if you look hard enough . This guy in China actually didn't even have the screen listed I was after a different mate 9 pro part and by thebwayd him and he said yes he can find original screens. It wasn't cheap but this was over a year ago. Damn it was not cheap at all I believe I paid over 300 for it. Now I suspect the price is lower if you can by the way the right chineese seller .

I'll try to grab some more info if I have time later today and get back to you

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] marcoma:
Hi,

I'm using the Athena heavily for mail and am wondering if any of you have come across an application that supports 'drag and drop' of mails into folders like Outlook (or other apps) do on a PC.

The current 'right-click', selecting 'move' and then pointing to the folder is a bit slow and with the amount of mails I get the drag-and-drop would definitely help.

I tried Flexmail and while they support the 3-pane look (folders on the left, email list on top and preview on the bottom - perfect!), this particular function doesn't seem to be in and a question / feature request I put in a few weeks back seemed to have gone straight to /dev/nul

so... anyone... anyone...??? :confused:

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Carty:
Flex mail is so damn slow.. You'll notice it when your inbox gets bigger.

Currently I dont see any mail application requesting your functionality but I am in a similar situation to handle lot of emails. Usually the mails that you want to sort into a particular folder will most likely have a same or similar subject. Do you know that when you type something when in Inbox screen, it automaticalyy searches and lists the matched mails alone? Then Select-All, move will save a lot of time for me..

Regards,

Carty..
