[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] rootbeer001:
Hey guys, been lurking until my device finally got here. I'm coming from an LG G3 (yes, I hold on to phones for a long time) which I was able to root pretty easily, so I am not unfamiliar with TWRP, backups, recovery, etc.

I got an unlocked US -01 variant that comes preloaded with Nougat 7.1.1. I haven't connected to a service provider yet. I have notification of a system update to NPSS26.118-24-6 which looks like the Sept 2017 security update.

I wanted to know if it was ok to OTA update and then root. I do want Oreo, but I don't know if that is available OTA in the US yet.

Also, do I still need to contact Motorola about unlocking the bootloader with the option to "OEM Unlocking" available in developer options?

Thanks everyone!
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] victorhbm15:
You can update normally before rooting but if you root, be aware that you could end up bricking the device if you try to update while being rooted.

I would suggest you read the guides here in XDA if you really need root, but be aware of problems that may appear.

Fixing a LG device is pretty easy compared to a Moto device.

Regarding unlocking the bootloader, you only need to follow the steps in the Moto site, they send you a code to unlock and everything.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] rootbeer001:
Thanks Victor. Like I said, I have been lurker around the forum for a while now. I think I have a pretty good grasp of the steps for the Z2 Play from a few sources. There just isn't quite a thorough and comprehensive guide or development like other phones I have had.

So I can OTA update and then root if I wanted to. I know never to OTA after rooting.

My LG crapped out on me. I think it's overheating. But you are correct, it is very easy to take apart and troubleshoot. I basically cooked the motherboard at 360 degrees F for 10 minutes in the oven and got it working again for about 4 weeks until it crapped out again.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Enkeltrick:
Hello guys,

Today I wanted to update my Honor 8 (FDR-L09) because it was showing me, that there is a new update ready to install (FRD-L09C432B405) and I was on a very old firmware (something from mid 2017). So it was time for me to update. :o

I downloaded the latest update (FRD-L09C432B405) and tried to wipe the cache, dalvik, and Data, but for some reason it "couldn't mount /data" and the wipe failed.

After an advanced wipe it worked and I tried to flash the stock image (the update which was shown to me (FRD-L09C432B405) with TWRP (3.1.1.1.)).

Now my hassle starts:

1. The Rom couldn't get flashed because of "Error: 7" --> I fixed it with the common "Error 7 fix --> editing the update-script and removing the assert line. (And yes, I'm 100% sure that it was the right ROM.

2. Now TWRP seemingly starts to flash the rom but inbetween the lines there is "mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: no such file or directory and it ends with "unknown command [[]" and it takes just two seconds, so the flash obviously isn't succsessfull. :eek:

I tried the "failed to mount /data" fix, where I change the data system to ext3 and then back to f2fs and change it back, but it won't work.

In my frustration I did another pretty bad thing and made another advanced wipe and wiped the system too, so now I don't have an OS on my system.

Maybe it's also important to note that there was a window showing up for a very short amount of time, with something like "encryption/encrypted" showed up.

What should I do now? Is there a way to fix the "/data couldn't be mounted" problem? Or am I missing a vital step in flashing the stock rom?

Thanks for your kind help! :o

You can not flash an update with twrp unless you use hurupdater. You essentially bricked your phone. Look for hurupdater here on xda and follow the instructions and you'll be fine
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Saifibne:
Is there any treble rom for redmi 2 prime??
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Mr Smith1:
Redmi 2 does not support Project Treble,so it's impossible to have any ROM based on Project Treble to be developed to fit Redmi 2
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] karthik km:
There is 32bit (ARM) Treble for Redmi 2 but sensors RIP
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Mr Smith1:
As far as I know , Project Treble rely on vendor interface adjustment which was set by OEM. Unless you change the partition table, it's hard to achieve this.

However , according to your reply, it seems that there are some new stuff on Redmi 2, could you tell me the details

PS. Sorry for my poor English.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] karthik km:
For the purpose of project treble on Redmi 2

We have used OEM as cache and cache as vendor

So we booted successfully
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avid_Coder:
I'm trying to change my build.prop file to a note 9 so I can play and download Android Fortnite on the emulator. This is so I can receive the Galaxy skin for "Purchasing" the Galaxy Note 9 however, upon changing the build.prop, the Fortnite installer does not recognize me as a compatible device even though I appear as a Note 9. I checked and the file is being succesfully changed but it is still not working! The modded APK doesn't work on it either. I have tried all the available Android versions to no avail.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ignoranus:
Hello, I recently rooted and put TWRP on my LG G3. My problem is that TWRP keeps telling me the roms I'm trying to put on the phone aren't for the phone. They say the rom is for "this" model or "that" model.

I have completely formatted the phone so the only part that remains is TWRP and if I reboot the phone my guess is LG's software will reload to Android 4.4 or nothing will happen.

When I had LG's software on the phone it said the phone was a D852 (Virgin/Bell) and if you take the back cover off the phone you will see that on the plastic of the phone there is D850, neither roms worked so as I'm writing this I've tried all the roms that started with "D" and none worked. I am trying to flash LineageOS by the way. So next, I'll be trying the non-"D" versions see how that pans out. The other issue is that TWRP says something along the lines of "This rom is for: G3, D850/D852/etc, your device is [blank] (it doesn't even tell me what the model is -.-).

I've been going here for the roms. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=224004
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ignoranus:
Apparently I was receiving Error 7 on TWRP and the way I fixed it was by modifying my rom files "updater script". But how can I get the proper rom(s) to work on my phone without having to modify them? Because I get error 7 every time unless I do modify them.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] abrahamrhs:
Wellp, I just bought an HTC 10 a few weeks ago, it works fairly good, but I noticed that battery performance is so poor, in regular use it gives me around 3hrs of SOT, playing PUBG it gives something like 1.5hrs SOT, and that makes me to the following point, is it normal that the phone can reach somewhere like 47°c? When playing PUBG or Asphalt 9 it gets sooo hot, any suggestions for how to deal with these problems? My phone is running LOS14.1 with Cleanslate kernel.

Do you recommend replace the battery?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] eraycetin:
It's the metal frame that makes the phone "feel" hot. It is normal to that degree. I think 3 Hour SOT is normal. I had an Iphone 5s before 10 that i had to charge it 6 times a day, so 3 Hour is ok i guess.

So ive been getting a "response is invalid" i even factory reset my phone but still got it.
[Magisk] David B.:
Are you referring to the SafetyNet test? If so, I'm seeing the same thing.
[Magisk] NeophyteGS2:
Everybody is getting it, Google have changed their API. Hopefully should be fixed soon when a new version of magisk manager is released
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If you'd looked through the general support thread and the beta thread, you would have seen that everyone is experiencing this...

Google updated the API and it's now required to obtain an API key from Google if you want to make your app check SafetyNet.

It's merely cosmetics though, since Magisk can still hide from SafetyNet, it's just not possible to check the SafetyNet status in the Manager.

Use a different app to check SafetyNet, there are some that have been updated with the above mentioned key.
[Magisk] David B.:
Does this just mean that checker apps that haven't been updated won't work, or does this apply to all apps? I'm a little confused because of your remark that Magisk can hide from SafetyNet.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Any app that does a SafetyNet check won't be able to do so if they haven't updated to the new SafetyNet API. That's when the "invalid response" is seen.

Magisk doesn't use the SafetyNet API to hide itself, thus you'll still be able to pass SafetyNet with Magisk installed. You just won't be able to check the SafetyNet status in the Magisk Manager.
[Magisk] David B.:
Okay, thanks for clarifying.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commanderaj:
Hi All

I very recently purchased a Orange TyTn II from ebay and before I start to chase the seller for a refund (which might be a struugle)has anyone got any ideas how I can get the GPS working. When Tomtom, memory map or the HTC gps tool tries to access the GPS chip the right hand LED flashes every 8 secs or so but no GPS data is displayed and the software either locks up or drops out.

Also is there much Orange branding on it as this one appears to have none so I suspect it may have had a rom upgrade.

I think the version is 1.27.12.11 as that is whats displayed on the boot screen

Please Help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gqstatus0685:
Go to start, settings, System Tab at the bottom and click on Device information. Tell us what you have there. Then we'll be able to tell you more. Either way I think the phone is fixable by just do a flash upgrade on it. Maybe someone else can tell you more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commanderaj:
Rom Version 1.1 Sleuth

Rom Date 08/28/07

Radio 1.27.12.11

Protocol 22.45.88.07h

If that helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
You've definately got a cooked Rom there - but no worries because Sleuth Roms are great (one of my favourites), and work no problem with TomTom.

I also think the radio is fine - but I think (?) I used 1.27.12.32 with Sleuth... but before you jump in and start flashing, make sure you read lots, have hardSPL and read the WIKI.

As the phone is used you may be better off doing a hard reset before going any further. Make sure you sync and back up your data first because this will be lost. Also make a note of any installed programs because you may need to dig out .cabs for these and re-install afterwards.

As for the GPS - I posted this a while back which seems to have helped a couple of others...

1. Back up all my data, emails, sms's to my PC.

2. Make sure I have all the re-install cabs ready.

3. Flash new rom (or in your case do a hard reset).

4. Wait until rom is loaded - don't configure anything yet - and hard reset again (this is reported to make the rom run faster).

5. NEVER TOUCH EXTERNAL GPS SETTINGS.

6. Configure all things built-in to the rom (like timezone, language settings, notifications etc) BEFORE connecting to the pc.

7. Connect to pc and re-sync all my outlook data.

8. Switch off kaiser then switch on again using power button (not soft reset) - this forces any registry changes to be written to registry before the reset is performed.

9. Run quickGPS.

10. I always install and set-up my GPS programs next: GpsTEST, Visual GPSCE and TomTom.

Now to set-up GPS.

11. Make sure phone is well charged.

12. Go somewhere outside with a good view of the sky, no buildings etc - preferably no clouds.

13. Run QuickGPS again if this was first run more than a couple of hours ago.

14. Start GpsTEST. This will scan your phone and automatically set up the program for the correct com port and baud rate.

14. Leave GpsTEST running, put the phone down and drink a cup of tea or two, read a book etc - keep checking the phone every 10 minutes or so. I normally get a fix within a few minutes but sometimes 30 or 60 if sight of sattellites is not too good.

15. When GpsTEST shows as running (you'll have a number in the HDOP box and green vertical bars) the GPS is now working fine.

16. Now I start my tomtom and usually find sattellites within seconds.

17. I then ALWAYS run GpsTEST or VisualGPSCE before starting my navigation program (tomtom) because it gets a fix much quicker.

Let us know if this works and I hope it helps...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
Oh no!!! Now you're really in trouble... Now you can flash Roms, Your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife/vacuum/favourite pet etc will now take second place to XDA and the flashing frenzy:D:D

Make sure the person you bought from had put HardSPL on the phone (go into bootloader and it will tell you the SPL version) - if not, flash it before you put any more roms/radios on.

Also, if you didn't upgrade your radio you'll probably need to because Sleuth 3.0 is a WM6.1 based rom. If you don't you may get camera and/or sound problems.

Anyway, glad you sorted it out:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commanderaj:
I loaded Hard Spl myself and the Radio was upgraded at the same time.

Devices: Gear S2/S3, Gear Sport, Galaxy Watch

Standalone: It also can works without an phone even when you have only WIFI or an 3G/LTE

Any questions or ideas for it?

Your issue may be related to the system partition rather than ROM or kernel. Solve that and your issue may be resolved. I think it involves formatting the partition. Search in XDA, I remember to have seen the solution.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Astral3:
Hi! So, i'm new to the forums, so if this is the wrong place to post feel free to yell at me.

I'm /officially/ starting college now although I've technically already been attending, and I've been surviving with a tablet until now.

I'd like to get a Mi Mix 2, but I'll be adding it to my family's shared plan. As far as i know, the phone has all the bands necessary for use with the company, but i'm more unsure on getting the actual SIM card. I believe they have a 'compatibility' list and they will likely refuse to simply activate a card(?) and try to get me to buy a different phone despite the Mix 2 actually being compatible.

How did you Verizon users get your sim cards?

To add on, i do have a -very- old flip phone, but it stays in my car and is really only used in case i have a wreck, run out of gas on the road somewhere, etc... none of which have happened as of yet. I'm pretty sure when i go in the store and request a new, nano sim card(I'm not even sure the old flip phone even uses a sim card. Its.... old. It does get service, but i know older, CDMA phones worked without them, so..), they're going to want to see the new phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
I don't use Verizon but from what I understand all you need to do is activate the card in another Verizon phone and put it into your Mix 2. So borrow one of your family members phones and you're done. The same process applies for Google Fi if you're interested in that too.

And you're right about those a$$holes at Verizon. They'll refuse to sell you a sim and push you to buy one of their phones. I tried with my compatible Nubia Z7 Max several years ago and they were rude and aggressive about it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Astral3:
So, just order a sim online and pop it into another phone? Does Verizon not need to put the phone number/etc on it & deactivate the old, possibly non-sim-using phone or can i do that online and/or during activation? (It has been....a while, since i owned a phone, lol)

Also, don't they register the IMEI number or w/e when you activate the phone? Wouldn't having two phones on the same account/shared plans with the same device number cause issues?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stoshie:
My SIM was already activated with Red Pocket Verizon in an approved Moto G5s+. When I received my new Mi Mix 2 I tried to activate it with Red Pocket but found out that its not a whitelisted phone. So I tried just putting the SIM in my Mix 2 and it worked. The only issue was getting LTE to work. I solved that by getting into phone settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and setting preferred network type to LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL).

Hello.

Some time ago I assumed a topic about the brick of my phone, Mate 10 Lite, I managed to bring it to life through the dc_phoenix program. The only version of the system they had was EMUI 5.1.

I'd like to have 8.0.0 to install LineageOS. But I do not have the code for the bootloader, dc_unlocker and HCU shows that it does not detect the phone. HWOTA needs this code to update. Is it possible to get this code somehow differently? Thanks for the help.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Are you sure you enabled Manufacture mode?

Also, phone needs to be booted, not in fastboot

Edit; you might have to install drivers for it, they have a button in HCU/DC named Support or something, that will open a website with drivers and such. I can't remember exactly which one I used because there was 10 or so to choose from. I think it was the most recent anyway. After you have got unlock code you'll have to uninstall driver, it breaks MTP support.

Edit 2: it's named Huawei_Android_phone_drivers_2.zip and location is Other downloads / Drivers / Huawei / Phones

But you need to open Support Area link from DC/HCU, it won't let you download if you're not logged in using the program

I have the Always Display Information turned on. It would display when I get a message but no other apps like WhatsApp, Gmail etc. would have any indicators. I would need to turn the screen on to be able to see if I have any notifications from those apps or not. Does anyone know how I can turn it on for other apps as well?

On the subject of notifications, sometimes push notifications aren't coming through whilst the phone is sleeping (only when I turn the screen on). I have already made sure to turn off the battery management on my various messaging apps (Settings - Battery - App Launch) as well as locked them in Recent Apps. Doing these things improved it but it's still not consistent. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
