My phone is dead. It can't be powered on. When I connect it to the charger it shows the low battery icon on screen and then after that a constant dim red charging light. But It's actually not charging. I can access the fast boot mode by disconnecting the battery. I have tried to repair the device with sony companion program. Also used flashtool to flash .291 firmware and it says the file has been flashed successfully but still my device doesnt boot up. Just constant dim red light. I have tried to use multiple chargers and changed batteries but still have the same problem. Also tried all type of button combos but nothing works. Please help me. My bootloader is unlocked. I have the backup of ta partition but dont know how to restore with dead phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] yes_sir:
Hey there,

I have got the S9 with an Austrian Provider Firmware. Although the device is unlocked for any Carrier, it seems to me that my Provider is getting out Firmware Updates very slow.

So I have been thinking about flashing my device to an open Firmware to receive Firmware Updates faster. Will I get any disadvantages, eg. no VoLTE or anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pimpmyfriedl:
What do you mean with "open Firmware"?

I guess, flash an other ROM?

If you put a custom ROM on the device, you will NOT receive any ROM Updates from Samsung - because it's customized.

Some ROMs has a updater, to receive updates if there is some available of the "provider of the ROM".

Some ROMs work well, others has still some bugs, depends on the ROM (see Buglist at every thread).

But you can customize it by yourself! increase batterylifetime, design, get rid of the bloatware,....

First you have to install a custom recovery, with this you loose warranty, and KNOX.

Every other function depends on the ROM.

But i bought my S9 from Amazon and still receive no updates.... (no branding of 3 in Austria).
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] yes_sir:
Yes, I want to Flash to a non-Provider locked ROM.

Well, there has to be International ROMs - like when you purchase the S9 directly via the Samsung Website with no Provider involved.

Is there a way to flash those kind of ROMs?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
You get them at the speed they are rolled out for BTU, go check sammobile and look at the dates they are arriving

Hello,

I'm running stock (no modifications, no root) Xiaomi A1 8.1.

Probably 2-3 months ago (8.0 at the time) I've started to experience random screen wake ups. Screen just lights up.

I have ambient display disabled. But it happens also without any notifications. Totally randomly.

Any suggestions why or what app should I install (without root) to find out what it's causing it?

I did not try factory reset yet -- that's the final solution.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have been having this problem ever since I got this phone and I occours with every Rom I have tried (4 or 5).

I insert my microsd car, update library and all is fine....but after 2 or 3 times of use...I go to update again (cause it dosent apear anymore) and files just dont get added!

I format the card, and once again it starts working and goes crazy after 2 or 3 tines after I use it.

Do you think its the phone? maybe the memory card?

Please help!

What is Project Treble

Project Treble basically partitions your device into two separate partitions, a system and a vendor: system contains your generic system image, while vendor partition has your device specific files required for booting and running your phone. This way we can easily change the system image and be able to run our device on different system images with the same kernel and vendor partition.

About

Weijianism did not build any verdor image of new version because he does not own this device. Although I am not familiar with android source and android build, I am very happy to learn it so that we natrium owners can use project treble.

So I message to Weijianism to know how to do it and have learnt it for a few weeks. Now I am trying to build vendors. Cause I still know a few about it, It is really very hard for me to solve problems in myself. So if you have any advice, please tell me or push you code in github. THANK YOU!

Well, Bluetooth & Camera won't work on any gsi. Bluetooth service has been stopped. Can't connect to camera.

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pote2639:
Bluetooth working, but wifi is always dropping. did you take the drivers from los? also very laggy compared to old treble.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] justin_hill:
1. bootloop problem solved when using rr gsi. (code from hacker1024)

2. bluetooth service stoped problem solved.

The camera's problem seems very hard, I will try to use GCam later. Now I do have no idea about how to solve it.

You may help me solve it if you like!

Yes, I used code and drivers from los totally.

And I really don't know what happened on your device cause you didn't tell me any useful information (such as what gsi and which version). I only find this kind of problem when using gsi of Android P Developer Preview.

This is interesting, thanks for taking this up!

I'd like to mention that my last RR build has more recent vendor files than [MENTION=5914514]Weijianism[/MENTION]'s treble builds.

I'm not sure why bluetooth only works with an RR GSI... That's weird. We need logs, of course.

I've never ported Project Treble to a device before, but I'm happy to help.

With the camera - I think this old branch of the kernel may work. I have no idea why, though.

P.S. I'm hacker1024 on GitHub.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] justin_hill:
Yeah, your code have inspired me a lot when I saw your repositories.

Maybe I fixed the bluetooth problem when I add back the libbtnv.so to /vendor/lib/ since it was deleted in this commit.

For the camera problem, I don't know how vendor module relates to kernel. But I will try it afterwards.

Actually I almost know nothing about lineage source code, system build skills and things like this. If you can help, it will be grateful!

It is also possible with media utilities (beta) and tasker. Media utilities downloads automatically the cover of the song played by your player (spotify, samsung, ...you choose). Tasker, with a bit of work on trigger event, changes lockscreen wallpaper according to the new cover.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] feklee:
On the board I see six test points. The question is if any of these can be shorted to be able to get the device in a mode where it can be flashed despite being OEM locked.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] feklee:
OK, so the test points are below the fingerprint flex cable connector:

View attachment 4571595

Here’s roughly how I proceeded:

Made sure that I’m grounded by touching a grounded metal piece in my apartment.

Removed the SIM tray.

Opened the device according to the instructions by Wit Rigs (youtu.be/1VIdpuXSFmI). Separating the top with the screen was quite hard as it is glued.

Popped out the battery flex cable connector, then the fingerprint flex cable connector.

On my laptop (Windows 7 X64) started MiFlash 2016.08.30.0, downloaded from en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html.

Inserted the USB-C cable that came with the phone into the phone. (not yet into the laptop!)

Using a bent and cut staple, I connected the test points, then inserted the USB-C cable into my laptop.

Windows reported that a new device is connected.

Removed the staple, clicked refresh in MiFlash: A device showed up.

Flashed the latest official stock Android One ROM V9.6.10.0, downloaded from en.miui.com/download-353.html:

View attachment 4571596

Initially I got a message that MiFlash cannot receive a “Hello” packet. It turned out that I was too slow. After connecting the device, one only has limited the time to start the flashing. I read elsewhere that it’s 15 seconds.

Success, my A2 boots up again! Now I’m only waiting for thermal paste to arrive in the mail, I will apply that, then close the phone again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kradNZ:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mauley:
Please stop opening new threads for the same issue.

I think this is the third one I have seen now. I'm sure someone will be able to help you but with the phone being as new as it is you may have to wait or figure it out for yourself. I have the phone but have not tried root yet because it's too early in the phones life to be messing around with it. Let the community grow first.

I do hope you made to get it solved though and if so you could document it so we can all learn from it in the future :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] feklee:
Coming from Q&A platforms such as StackOverflow, I was assuming it’s better to use separate threads: The other ones are about Magisk on the A2, about clean installing the A2 ROM, and about using a deep flash cable on the A2. Finally being able to upload pictures, I am now fleshing out my earlier posts with details.

Anyhow, I hope that the information can be of help for others!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] zemariolac:
I bought a Mi A2 and tried to put android pie on it, but I failed successfully. I'm gonna try this endpoint method, cause I cant flash images with fastboot.

Unfortunately I can only try this on Monday, cause I don't have the tools, but a friend in college has. I wanna know a few stuff for the grand day:

You told that the device is glued. Is it really hard to open it? and do i need to glue it back?

In the endpoint method, I need to manage to connect the two points with a metal tool, right? And i'll do the process with the battery disconnected, correct?

You wouldn't believe it, but this is my first android and I had it working for less than an hour. I have always being an apple user, but my devices were always jailbroken. I thought that with android things would go easy, but I ****ed them up hahah

As I saw you posted somewhere else, I always like to push my devices to the limit and thats why I am a computer science student...

thanks a lot anyway, and wish me luck on Monday!! Hope I can do it...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] feklee:
I used an X-ACTO knives (careful!), and yes it was somewhat hard to open.

The A2 is glued with double sided tape going along all the edges. I removed that tape, then applied pieces of double sided tape (red TESA) in select locations. Applying double sided tape along all the edges should be practically impossible to do manually. Notes:

The original tape provides a certain level of water protection. So I’m not sure that it was a good idea to remove it. Between the pieces of tape that I applied there now are gaps, which however are not visible from the outside.

The device can be put together without tape at all, and the screen keeps attached to the body. What happens without tape in situations of stress, I don’t know.

So far everything has been working out fine for me, and my A2 already survived a couple of crashes (don’t use the ugly case).

Yes. Note that after shorting the contacts, you have limited time to start the flashing. I think it was 40 seconds.

Yes that’s the recommended method. It also allows you to quickly reset the device, i.e. by unplugging the USB cable.

Same for me! Along the way I learned more than I wanted to. It’s interesting to see the device opened with all its components, removes a bit of the magic.

Anyhow, good luck!

Do anyone knows how to brute Force 4g ?

I live in an area where I know that my phone can get LTE but for some reason he stays on 3g. With my OnePlus 3 I had an app which gave me access to a hidden menu (same menu as *#*#4636#*#*) where I could select "LTE ONLY" and this would make the phone to switch to LTE. Anyway, just after the launch of the OP6 I installed the same app and did as usual and it just broke the LTE connectivity for a week or two before OnePlus released a proper fix. But alongside fixing this LTE connectivity issue they also disabled this useful menu.

Do you guys have any replacement idea for it ? I've been searching for it since but I couldn't find anything.

Start the app, and set the preferred network type to LTE. This way you won't be able to get called (unless your network supports VoLTE), but the network stays on LTE. You can switch back, but can be buggy, the best way to switch back is to restart the phone.

There's an app called shortcut master lite. Download & install it. Open the app, from the menu select search. Type "engineering"

Launch the 1st result. You can also mark it as favourite and keep it on main page of the app.

When you launch the search result 1, do this:

- network set, sim card select, <sim1/2> & come back and tap on rat mode, choose lte only.

This sim will not catch any signal when there's no lte coverage.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Desdra:
Thank you for your answer, I'll check that but if anyone have the same issue as me with the other app I found the solution reading your message. My sim was on the slot 2 and this is why the menu wasn't working but in slot 1 everything works fine.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] meistr91:
Hi, I can access that menu. I was able to fo that on 5.1.9 and DP3 also:)

What I can recommend for you is to clean install of 5.1.9 via fastboot. Here in op6 forums there is a thread, of fastboot rom, so flash it. Just read instructions there, very easy.

I bet 99.9% that it will solve menu problem and LTE in global.
