As i tried to get back to stock i get the following error(i am on the newest Firmware):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w

wiping userdata...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

Can't determine partition type.

after 4 hours of finding a error with the fastloader -w command i finally got it. it was the combination of a usb 3 port and the usb cabel from essential and a windows 10 computer.

My phone is now on oreo and and the bootloader is logged again!

Yeah don't use the usb c cable that comes with the phone for data. I have a USB c to A cable from Anker that I use.

The Essential supplied usb-c cable should not be used for anything but charging. Even Essential admits it is too poor to use for data transmission. Get a good quality usb-c cable and try again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] :
Hello, today when i tried to connect my phone to my computer i got an error that said "Device Not Recognized Device Descriptor Request Failed", it did not happen before. Now I'm trying to connect a pen drive and a keyboard into the usb c and they don't work. But i can still charge the phone with the wall charger and in the pc. My audio adapter works as well. I didn't drop the phone or damage it.

There is any possible software fix to this or is a hardware fault? i have tried different pc and cables.

My phone is locked, (i was trying to unlock) with the last china rom and i dont have root

Thank you

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] allenaj:
Recently, I decided that I wanted to root. However considering that most companies for the warranty, I checked the documents for warranty, and I wasn't too sure what they meant by the highlighted statement in the pic. Funnily enough, the list where it describes what is not covered under warranty doesn't talk about unlocking bootloader... So technically can I root and still have warranty?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty but rooting does. If they suspect you've given them a modified device for repair they have the right to refuse the repair or charge you for it.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Versatil2010:
So I don't really play this game, but I do two boring nights shifts :eek: I was thinking of playing this to make time go by quicker. I got rid of the issue of getting kicked out due to the game reading root or magisk. Now the issue is getting kicked out over some connections issue. I have grate wifi and no problems with anything else. Check picture for error message.

Anyone playing successfully and rooted?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] BenjyTec:
The error message also says 'untrusted platform', so I think the error still is caused by detected root. Still I wonder because you said you had magisk, and magisk normally hides root - did you enable that?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Versatil2010:
Yeah
[Android Head-Units] tjlmbklr:
I don't know why I didn't just come to XDA first. I recently picked up a 2008 VW Touareg. The factory Nav system has to go, it's like playing a 8-bit video game and don't even get me started on how tedious it is using the search function without touch screen controls.

What I am looking for in a head unit:

Obviously running Android OS

Customizing ability, aka rooting, custom ROM and/or Launcher. I here THIS launcher is good, but I don't know if it works with all Android head units.

Backup Camera support (a bonus would be to be able to keep my OEM camera)

DVR to use with dash cameras

Steering wheel control support

Ability to install 3rd party apk's as well as use the Google Play store for apps.

It seems all the Android head units have one thing in common, they are all weird companies I've never heard of from China and the support I get is very limited when I have questions. Even if I go to Alibaba there are like 10 radios that all look the same. It also seems they all do about the same thing and have the same look so knowing what is what is not easy. This is where I am hoping you guys can help.

I have my eye on the company Seicane. They make THIS unit that will fit right in with no dash mods but the downside is a smaller screen. So with that said, I am leaning to a full double din radio but a lot of these are universal and don't say specifically if they work for my make/model car. I attached a pic of my OEM head unit if it helps.

[IMG="My OEM head unit"]https://i.imgur.com/7AZSCFA.jpg?1[/IMG]

Thanks in advance for any answers you have.
[Android Head-Units] saucemstr:
I don't have any experience with the seicane or other android units yet (i'm looking at getting my first one now as well). That seicane unit should just drop right in with no issue which is nice. Other standard double din units should work, but you'll need to use a dash install kit. Be careful though. From what i've been reading it sounds like a lot of these chinese units are a slightly different size than standard double din. larger by a couple mm I think. They still fit, but you may have to modify the dash kit a bit to fit it.

Let me rephrase my problem as I've been reading here and didn't find a similar one. The problem is my Kaiser boots showing vodafone logo, then restarts after 15-20 secs.. and then it boots and restarts again and again and again.. I can go to BootLoader and has hardSPL, reflashed again but still the same problem happens!

I've flashed my Kaiser with RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40.02_1.64.06.04 and it worked flawlessly, however when I tried to flash it with Dutty's Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Hybrid_1.64.08.21 [RTM] my Kaiser keeps on rebooting-- I've checked the forums and found similar problems but I think it's unique for every other case (reverse block thingy) so I run mtty and here it shows what info 8 looks like:

On another note Be very Careful with Mtty you can make the problem even worse.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pfcsabre:
That's the only thing I've inputted as I've seen similar guys posting the same problem and sending the same info-- when I bought the Kaiser the guy told me to download mtty because the phone doesn't want to boot without issuing 'boot' in the cmd... then when I flashed it to RUU_Kaiser_HTC it properly booted. Now I wanted to try Dutty's ROM and this happened :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
That's cool. But I just wanted to stress the importance of messing around at all in Mtty. Its like heart surgery, one slip and its over.

Not just for you but for anyone who stubbes across this thread. Mtty can be very dangerous use wisely.

Hi guys! I have Sprint version of Galaxy S8 Active and I would like to switch the firmware to T-Mobile. I did do standard flashing, but feels as if I haven't done anything. FYI - I didn't use "user data" file, I don't think I had to.

I have read some posts for S8 and many of them mention "factory binary" and so on. I didn't find any of that. Could anyone gather needed files? (I did download normal firmware) A guide would also be helpful!

Thanks!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJIA:
Hello,

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 tablet (4th generation, 2014). I had been previously having issues with video on the tablet which customer support was unable to help me with. While I was trying to find a solution, I saw in my Amazon account that I could update my software. I chose to do this hoping that perhaps my out-of-date software was what might be causing my video issues.

On the bright side, my video works great now. The downside is that I do not like the new software at all. I've since learned that I previously had OS 4.5.5.3. I loved its ease of use and the carousel. Now I have OS 5.6.1.0 and just really want my good old tablet back to how it was. I spoke to customer support and was told that only OS 5.3.1 and earlier could return to Fire OS 4, so there was nothing they could do.

I've seen a lot of tutorials on downgrading your software or restoring your tablet to its original firmware. I think I could handle following the tutorials, but I've also read posts that say 5.6.1.0 is not able to be downgraded or that you can only downgrade from version ABC to XYZ. So my question is would it be possible for me to restore my tablet to 4.5.5.3 or am I stuck now with 5.6.1.0? I'm sorry, I'm not very tech savvy so I want to be sure before I try anything that might hurt the device. I'm not interested in rooting or installing other operating systems. I'm just a simple person that wishes they could have their simple Fire tablet back.

Thank you so much in advance!

It's downgradeable to 4.5.3. At least for Fire HD 6, It works somehow. I just tried it and succeed.

Thanks for your help. I followed the steps you listed and was able to downgrade to Fire OS 4.5.3. I successfully had the device up and running. The device also said "New update 4.5.5 available. Click here to update." I clicked yes, since this would return me to the OS 4.5.5 that I was originally running. The tablet showed the Fire logo and said "software updating." Then the screen went blank and now I can't turn the device on. What should I do?

My service provider name is Play. Im a part of something called "family plan" (3 people). It goes like that

We (every person) can pay either 40zł (10,81$) per month or one of them can pay 120zł per month . What do we get :

Unlimited calls

Unlimited SMS

30GB of data (for all of us to share). When we download more than that internet speed will slow down to 1mb /second

HBO GO 2 years for free , Tidal (music) for 6 months free and Showmax for 6 months free as well

And Play has a 4-provides power, so we have access (via national roaming) to all other provides (T-Mobile, Orange, Plus) signal (unfortunetly data speed will drop to 1mb/second again)

But if you choose prepaid especally in some virtual network provides you can get a even better deal

Greet, guys!

I do this topic to solve some doubts and help new costumers with flashing OSs... If somebody can help thank you very much in advance.

I have losted and IMEI brick an old celphone making flashs so here are the questions.

- flashing with ADB can lost the IMEI ?

- flashing install TWRP can lost the IMEI?

- If I just do the TWRP install and flash some OSs can I lost IMEIs or brick my celphone?

Just simple question, in my opinion, but lose IMEI is not a thing that I want in the moment.

That's all, guys!

as long as you follow directions and don't do anything crazy, you probably won't brick the phone. i've rooted and installed custom roms on every phone i've had since ics and never permabricked anything. if you lose imei the fix is simple and can be found here:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/psa-flash-devices-persist-imei-loss-t3828575

i recommend making sure the data is working before you unlock the bootloader, and checking every box in twrp backup except maybe system image before you flash anything.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] rod_amil:
Thanks for answer, xtasquee...

I pretend do all TWRP backups before installing. I just have to know If I flash with ADB I'll add data only or erase some data?

When I lost my IMEI in other phone model I cannot restore anyway, that's why I'm carefully.

Tks for link too.
[General Questions and Answers] widgetspinner:
Open question to all, especially if you frequent establishments with open wifi --- What if any security do you use? I'd hope some kind of Firewall, possibly private VPN? And more importantly have you actually verified it provides you with any kind of security?

My issue is this - No matter what I do, cellphones leak data like a waterfall. Seems basically impossible to tell the damn devices to stop broadcasting to the world. Don't call home to clients1.google.com (or any incarnation thereof, and there are many). Don't enable bonjour / zeroconf. Etc.

I literally have no browser installed yet I noticed connecting to open Wifi with portals bring up some kind of browser. Does it store cookies? Does it leak my device id, model, serial # .. IMESI? (believe it or not some applications try to stuff that in an HTTP header).

One of the biggest reasons I ever rooted my phones is I've tried rootless firewalls, they do nothing but have a nice gui.

It's bloody infuriating.
