[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Be careful you didn't name the file .zip.zip as windows automatically hides extensions.

And yes download mode should autodetect them

And these are absolutely the correct files.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wolfi05:
so stay try and error..................:confused:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Try them all with the sdcard method, 1 by 1. I can't offer anything else as this what you need. If the download mode doesn't detect the file you named it wrong.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wolfi05:
I have formatted the sd card at the pc and only the zip on it, zip.zip in no case:cool:

FAILED (remote: 9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode) <<---- which means?

Which fastboot version would you recommend?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wolfi05:
The problem with the sd card has been solved. There was a hidden partition of samsung on it. After reformatting the htc recognizes the file.

Okay, I tried them 1 by 1 :eek:

Always with the same result :

"Fail 7 RU_CID_FAIL cid in androidinfo mismatched"

.........
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Then the last method to update is to flash the 2.41.401 standalone firmware (not the RUU), locate it, download it, OPEN the firmware.zip with 7zip and drag out android info.txt, edit the file and add your CID (HTC__102) save the text and flash the firmware via fastboot. Be aware that your device has to be in RUU mode. After you flashed the firmware you should be able to flash the full 2.41.401 RUU.

That's all i can think of. You should have updated your phone long way back then you would not have this problem. Your current OS is like the stoneage is in time ! For all i know it has something to do with the problem why it only starts to bootloader and/or download mode, maybe the problem is bigger than just to flash a RUU.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wolfi05:
Ok, as last way I will try. . . . . . but just to understand it, the new firmware doesn't change the cid, then the ruu doesn't care the cid?

I have entered the cid htc__102 in the ruu and it has aborted.

I will report...thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
You can't change a cid in the RUU, unless you decrypt it ? A firmware can't change your cid because your device is S-ON. Only with s-off you can change the cid.

I told you to change the Android info.txt file which is inside the firmware (not the RUU) so that the firmware knows your cid is supported.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] rln_xda:
You may have to flash hosd_signed.img at bootloader (not download) before you flash the firmware. Extract the hosd_signed.img from the firmware zip and do 'fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img' in the bootloader mode; followed by flashing the firmware in the download mode.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
No that's not needed because this is not about downgrading the bootloader/firmware. That's only needed when you want to downgrade the firmware on an S-ON device.

Edit :

To Wolf

Here is the 130.401 to 180.401 firmware.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540821778

Open the firmware (NOT EXTRACT) and drag out the Android info txt file and edit in your exact CID. Save it and drag it back in the firmware.zip. then flash the zip as intended. Please check how to properly flash the firmware for a S-ON device.

i believe you have to enter RUU mode first before you can flash it so please check that out !!!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wolfi05:
//You can't change a cid in the RUU, unless you decrypt it ? //

I started the ruu, then I went to the temp folder and changed the android-info, then I started the htc and started the flash process (it was worth a try)

//A firmware can't change your cid because your device is S-ON. Only with s-off you can change the cid. //

That's probably it....that's why I wonder why the ruu should work with another firmware(because the cid error always comes) and if the flashing of the firmware works, but the ruu doesn't, then the htc is an organ donor (more than now)?

now I'm confused:

firmware 1.8 ---> firmware 2.41 -----> Ruu 2.41 or

firmware 1.8 ----> Ruu 2.41 or

firmware 2.41 ---> Ruu 2.41 how would you do that?

:confused:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Look, i don't know what your device is doing and why it's holding back on updating. I delivered the correct RUU. Correct firmware number, links to firmwares, how to add your cid. There is no other firmware or RUU with a different cid or number that fits your device, believe me i am doing this stuff for more than 6 years.

The only thing i can think of is that the jumps between firmwares is to big or that your bootloader/download mode is messed up somehow.

But to clear this up, you can't s-off the device because you need a running OS which yoi haven't got.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] EMale1965:
I was wondering if anyone had found a way to update the crappy MS Bluetooth stack on the Mogul to the Broadcom one? I am having a lot of trouble with the bluetooth after updating to the 3.35 ROM. It keeps shutting off and it didn't on the 3.09 ROM I had before. I thought that maybe getting rid of the MS stack in favor of the Broadcom one might do the trick. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have tried several different .cab files, one for the Dell Axiom and one for the Hermes, but neither have worked right. I have also tried all of the bluetooth registry tweaks I could find and nothing helps. ANY help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! :)

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noobsgs2:
Hello everyone,

as per the title, can i buy the mi mix 2s in china from a local seller and then switch it to a Global Rom?

Will i encounter bands problem for example? i live in EU

Thank youu
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
Yes, you can just install the global rom, I'm living in germany and also got the chinese version. You may check what LTE bands are used in your country since the chinese version does not have all the bands the global version has. However, the extra bands the global version has are mostly used in africa and america so chances are good that you'll be fine
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noobsgs2:
Are you entirely sure that the two versions come with different bands? I can't find any confirmation anywhere
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Yes they do come with different bands. I do not recommend you buying the chinese variant!

Look for the model that ends with XA ! this is the Global one with all bands.

Trust us. There is a reason for different models to exist.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MallocVoidstar:
The Chinese model can install global ROM but you cannot lock bootloader afterwards so it is not safe and many apps will not work.

Global model has more bands than base Chinese models but same as 8/256 Chinese model.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ImWarped:
You can, but it would be "better" to buy it and install a rooted ROM from here if you want full features like Android Pay to function.

You can't relock the bootloader if you change from the chinese ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] EraserKing:
Yes you could, but that may be not suggested depending on the model you want to get...

For 6+64 / 6+128 models, China variant (XE model) differs from global variant (XA model): XE has less band support and you need to keep your BL unlocked to install global ROM. So you'd better not buy these two models in China.

Still, I can show you the missing bands on XE model if you'd like to know, but anyway I don't think it necessary to buy it...

For 8+256 model, there's no two variants, only one XA model for both China and other countries. You should be safe to buy it.

And, if you get XE variant and flash global ROM with BL unlocked, you still cannot install Magisk - you'll see bootloop and then enter recovery. That's another important reason why I don't recommend XE variant. The only way to install Magisk is to install MiPa kernel instead of the stock one.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Humbca:
Hello, thanks for your help.

It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.

I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.

I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.

I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.

For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.

iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7891016:
Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ajayendra:
Hello guys,

I am getting a really good deal on a Verizon version (Unlocked) on Craigslist. I am on T-mobile.

I do not intend to unlock bootloader or root etc.

Have a few questions:

1. Will I be able to use all functionalities on the Verizon phone (like I would get on a T-mobile version)?

2. Do these Verizon versions come with removable Verzion apps?

3. Is there a way to flash T-Mobile firmware on the phone? Will this process make the Verizon version "like" T-Mobile version?

4. Anything else I should be aware of (like Volte/Wifi Calling/HD voice etc.).

Thanks a lot!

Greetings,

I installed YouTube Vanced through Magisk. The installation is successful and I can see it in module, but YouTube icon won't show up.

Any idea?

Should I try flashing with TWRP?

Did you before disable youtube app before flashing?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] shadowcliffs:

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thegold3nchild:
you need to clear the actual youtube app's data and reenable it and also turn off auto update in playstore.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] SeekingRest2019:
This didn't quite solve the issue for me. I had updated YouTube from the Google Play Store and it overwrote YouTube Vanced. I kept reflashing YouTube Vanced with Magisk, but the original app remained. So I turned off YouTube's auto-update in the Google Play Store, cleared YouTube's data, deleted the YouTube Vanced module in Magisk, rebooted, reflashed the YouTube Vanced module in Magisk, and rebooted one more time. The original YouTube app remained.

So I retried this process one more time, this time disabling the YouTube app first, and it worked after that. I had to disable YouTube and reflash it with Magisk.

Thanks for the instructions!

Hi all,

It seems like the focus of XDA is just modifying existing phones, but not questioning the premise that Android is a worthy OS.

And yet there's a continual news drumbeat about malware on Android phones and new exploits.

Why not take steps to replace Android?

So much effort, probably many man-years collectively, is going into doing anything but this.

Okaay so I've been rooting my phones for a few years now, back to the Sony Ericsson phones :) soo I do have a tiny bit of experience when it comes to rooting but my memory is kinda weak haha...

I rooted my galaxy S8 like a year ago and had no problems What so ever...until I started messing :rolleyes: I was messing around with Snapchat and realised I couldn't log back in due to the root checks and the only way I could get back in was unrooting :confused: however I am now bored of an unrooted phone and want my freedom back ?

I installed a custom rom while rooted and came with some apps etc such as 'mTweaks' which no longer works because I don't have root...I also have problems assessing some apps such as games because a "hack is detected"

I would like to have root back but I'm currently moving homes and don't have access to a pc for now, is there a way to do it via phone ?

Also is my phone still semi rooted as some apps seem to detect a modified device...

Thanks for taking your this time read this ?

if the thread isn't clear enough then here are the main concerns:

-Can I root without needing a PC

-Why do apps detect a modified device if I don't have root

-Why do I still have access to a custom Rom and kernel?

Thanks alot! ?

Hi Oldsap,

I appreciate the work. I actually use this old version from Ondrej at airfagev that was built for WM2003 I believe but works perfectly on WM 6.1. I like it because it adds an option in the main contacts area on the menu bar itself (not a separate application). Here's the description:

This free Contacts Add-On has been inspired by RJV SendContact. Since the SendContact has many drawbacks like you can't use T9 search from list of Contacts, etc., Ondrej has developed this and shared it to airfagev as a freeware.

After installing the app, you should see Send via email/SMS added to your contacts menu. This utility also allows you to select which contact info you want to send like Name, Mobile No., Work No., etc. Thanks to Ondrej.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TFutoMaki:
Hi Essential Phone owners,

Can someone confirm that the Essential Phone has set dalvik.vm.heapsize to 36m instead of... 512m?

The build.prop in the vendor partition of the phone has this line:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m

// line 29

But the build.prop in the system partition has:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m

// line 68

Any devs know which one gets applied last? I think at the current state it would be heapsize=36m which is unusual.

For anyone that can edit build.prop on their own phone :) you can try this,

1. Remove dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m in system's build.prop

Or

2. Add dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m at the bottom of the system's build.prop

:angel:
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JBlaze05:
this is extraordinarily interesting due to the fact that ive seen reports on reddit claiming this makes scrolling smoother. i deleted the heapsize=32 line and noticed maybe a slight difference. nothing night and day but a small improvement. granted i am running stock with elementalX kernel but its still worth noting that in my case it seems to yield a slight improvement

Heap size and scrolling? Wtf. No, just no. I have a thread on here that actual helps with the scrolling. Add the following to your build prop in /system to improve scrolling lag and stutters.that other stuff would do nothing.

#Property to enable touch optimizations

persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.enable=true

persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.movetouchslop=0.6.

The 0.6 can be changed to your liking. 6 works well. Don't go past 8 or **** gets weird.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TFutoMaki:
Thanks you all, I got with me the Essential phone now so yeah seems like it is system build.prop, and then vendor build.prop applies over it. Interesting stuff that I should remember :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] marvinxxx:
Dalvik heapsize

36mb heap size is use before for low memory devices that have only 512mb of physical memory or ram, Running in gingerbread os etc. that uses only small amount of physical memory and not much features added on the Android operating system, The answer to your question is 36mb heap size is not gonna work in newer Android devices and it can cause bootloop, because the newer Android Operating System requires higher usage of physical memory for full functionality.

"vendor_build.prop and system_build.prop Is the same list in functionality they only have different location, the system combining them in to one build.prop, to check your full system combined build.prop install terminal emulator and enter- "getprop"

vendor.prop is should be for Rom versions and the system.prop is for manufacturer default Android features and device features configuration.
