HI, I wanted to buy z3c but somehow I got an A4 compact accidentally ( I will receive my phone in a week) , any A4 compact users please guide me.

whether it is better than Z3c or worse?

what feature does Z3C have which are not in A4?

any other disadvantages?

Another problem I am having is that there are no popular and detail reviews on internet, didn't find any place where its actual specs are given so if you guys know any link, kindly share. Thanks

My phone Not Showing 9008 in QFIL

i have connected and followd all instruction but My phone Not Showing 9008 in QFIL its showing 900E its not happening plzz help me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekborg:
Hi,

When it shows 900E in the windows device manager you must force the installation of the 9008 driver.

Choose "update driver" and "select a driver from a list" and select the 9008 driver even if Windows warns you that this driver is not signed.

Then you will be able to connect to QFIL again and restore the "devinfo" partition.

TWRP SHOULD NEVER BE INSTALLED ON THE "DEVINFO" PARTITION BUT RATHER ON THE "RECOVERY" PARTITION.

I saved some of my partitions of my phone (Meizu M6 Note M721H global firmware)

the files contains "_original" in their filename are the original ones from Meizu (FlymeOS)

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Hello all,

I understand that TWRP on our devices is built on the Nougat kernel (hence why we can't boot with it) because the touch-screen doesn't work in TWRP when building it with the Oreo kernel (and presumably the Pie kernel -- I don't know if anyone has tried).

However, even if it still has to be built from the Nougat kernel like the current version of TWRP we are all using, could someone who has the skills and knowledge build the latest 3.2.3-1 version, which was just released a few days ago for the Pixels, for our Essentials? It has the capability to unencrypt data in Pie, regardless if you have a lockscreen pattern, pin, or password (along with many other new features and fixes since 3.2.1-0 was released), so it would finally no longer be necessary to delete all fingerprints and lockscreen pattern/pin/password before going into TWRP and then having to restore them all back after leaving TWRP and then teaching all apps the changed fingerprints.

Much, much thanks in advance to anyone who can do this!! I know that anyone who knows how to build a ROM could build TWRP in almost no time at all.

Thanks again,

Chris

and if the new TWRP can flash Magisk to both slots we wont need stock kernel when rooting. Magisk 17.1 has the ability to flash to both slots, but current TWRP patches only active slot when flashing Magisk zip.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Not to jump too far ahead, but a Developer and friend I am working with wants to build an updated TWRP, especially now that Pie is out, we could use those Treble and Pie fixes.... He is also working on a ROM, but we are at the early stages, and he has an Essential and I got mine today. He was finishing up on another Project at the moment, now that I received my Essential we can get things going and work our way, all the way to Official Perhaps? Time will tell...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Simply awesome to hear that! Seriously looking forward to what you guys release in the future!!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
I am hoping we get started on TWRP this weekend. My friend is adamant about getting us a new Recovery or an update one at the very least, but i believe TWRP is the 1st thing on our to do list.... :good: With September breaking our current, outdated Recovery, made it a Priority....

Those of you who came to the channel, we thank you for your support!

Telegram Essential PH-1 Dev Group : https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV

By the way, we have another Mata Dev working with us!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Things are worse than I thought. I didn't use TWRP to root the September release. What exactly did September break on the outdated TWRP we currently have available?

Thanks again in advance for getting us Mata users an updated TWRP!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
On TWRP on September build, the device's display digitizer or the screen didnt feel touch, I read one member using TWRP with an OTG mouse to root the device. I believe the Dev already knows the problem, but I think he is doing a total over haul of TWRP to update for PIE and Treble....

Of course, we are, some of us at least are here to help and learn what we dont know...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
That's bizarre. I thought that was specifically the reason TWRP for the Essential is built on a Nougat kernel, so that the touchscreen would work in TWRP. I was told if it was built on the Oreo kernel (this was before Pie was released), so that we could boot with TWRP installed, the touchscreen wouldn't work in TWRP.

I don't know how the September update (or any ROM) could stop the touchscreen from working in the existing, old TWRP version we have. I thought you were going to say it couldn't mount /system or /data or something to that effect with September. I'll have to try it myself and see.

Regardless, still really looking forward to what you and your team come up with! It'll be great to have an updated TWRP version for the first time in a year. And being able for it to unencrypt Pie (and possibly being able to boot with it installed like on the Pixels) will be a Godsend.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
In order to have TWRP boot and have it installed, we actually need a TWRP.img to Fastboot Boot into Recovery. At that point you would flash your ROM and then there is a 2nd TWRP required that is a zip file called an installer. This is what allows you to boot into recovery from either the hardware power and volume button, or a standard Reboot to Recovery without having to use Fastboot. So again, (2) TWRP files are needed, a boot img and a zip installer. 1st we need to get the boot img working properly and then the installer.

Also, I was informed there is another DEV working on TWRP. Hopefully we can put 2 and 2 together and produce the proper Recovery.

I will update this thread as things get accomplished, and then hopefully all said and done and we can create an Unofficial TWRP thread.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
I hoped, now that prices came down on this phone people would jump on it and development picking up. But even the current state seems slow.

I wish we had a nice working TWRP already, and as far as a ROM being mentioned, oh how we need some ROMS that don't have Gapps preinstalled.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Nburnes:
3.2.3 is surprisingly easy to boot, comparing kernel and /vendor changes is not.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
hmm
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
It was not a TWRP issue but an issue with the Sept update. Some files were left out and the flash left the touch screen dead. I had the issue and just had to flash tow additional files that Essential issued in their flash download.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Can you choose options or screen frozen? Because we know it boots and options can be chosen with the use of a OTG mouse...

*edit*

Remember guys, TWRP11.img still works for the August Factory Image as well as anything before August...It is only the September Factory Image is the only build at this time, that TWRP is frozen FYI
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Awesome! So glad this is gaining some traction! What kernel/boot image is this based on? Nougat, Oreo, or Pie?

Do you have an alpha or beta 3.2.3 TWRP boot image that you could share?

Also, just FYI, 3.2.3-1 was the version made specifically for the Pixels that was just released about a week ago to allow lockscreen pin/pattern/password decryption for Pie.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Here's the reason why touch stopped working in TWRP. In the September update, the hyp and rpm partitions were updated for the first time ever. This is what broke touch in TWRP. However, to confuse the issue, those who downloaded the September fastboot package when it first came out lost touch in Android, but kept touch in TWRP because Essential failed to update the two partitions in the fastboot download package (the updated partitions were initially only in the actual OTA and the OTA download package). Essential has since fixed their mistake and put the new hyp and rpm partitions in the fastboot download package.

You can't simply go and flash the older versions of those partitions, because even though it will fix touch in TWRP, it will break touch in the September (and newer) versions of Android.

More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/9d3kru/the_september_update_twrp_and_touch/
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
So basically twrp needs to be repackaged with the updated hyp and rpm partitions and we should be home free?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
TWRP needs to be made compatible with the new hyp and rpm partitions. TWRP (or any recovery) lives in the ramdisk in the boot image/partition (kernel). So I don't think it can simply be repackaged with hyp and rpm which are two completely separate partitions.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
I appreciate the correction, I'm still learning and just trying to make sense of it
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U can still use the old twrp, just flash the hyp and rpm partitions after or before the twrp.img. it works fine and the kernel can be 4.138 or 4.152 or ex or whatever.

According to the mi forums there are just some bug fixes. Nothing new at all. The software developers of Xiaomi are seriously a joke. There's still no official stable even after three months after release of their allegedly flagship that got unveiled with MIUI 10. The Chinese and global version differs in features (Chinese shows WhatsApp notifications in the Always On screen for example), the cheap ass Mi8se got miui10 already, but the flagship doesn't, ok Google never worked in any Rom so far and not to forget the whole discussion about bootloader's or GPS.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
It's not, how do you get that idea? Funny thing is, that the roms get worse with every update IMHO. The best working so far was actually 8.8.7. With 8.8.21 some of the gestures stopped working and the AOD flashed white before activating, additionally it became slow and laggy after some time without reboot. The AOD is fixed now, gestures still doesn't fully work, same goes for "ok Google". Why the Chinese version supported WhatsApp notifications in the AOD and the global doesn't is another oddity. I'm not impressed.

Monday I updated the FW of my US unlocked Note 8 (N950U1 / SD-version) with N950U1UEU5CRG6.

After the update I noticed that in Settings - About Phone, My Phone Number is listed as UNKNOWN. I am using the phone in The Netherlands with provider Hollandsnieuwe (=Vodafone). I am certain that the actual phone number was correctly displayed prior to the FW update.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
You mean like this seeing on my screenshot? This number is only visible if it's saved into your SIM card. Since a while, the carriers/operators don't write longer the numbers into the SIM card

So if you don't see it now, you never saw it before!

But there was an xposed module (if I remember right on android 4.4.2) where you can change this (showing) number.

(It don't changed your registered phone number!)

At that time I had found that thread

https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=2106490&share_fid=3793&share_type=t

That should be the correct GitHub link:

https://github.com/OXINARF/SIMNumberChanger

But it looks like there is a newer xposed module called SIMEditor - maybe that still works (when your device is rooted and xpised installed)

I've had my Note 9 for just over a week, installed AccuBattery Pro day one, and after many charge cycles, my battery health is sitting at an estimated 3,855 mAh. I know this is only 4% lower than manufacturer specifications, but 4% is 4%. Does everyone feel AccuBattery's estimations are fairly accurate?

That's how it looks at me on exynos. If I immediately remove the charger after the LED made green I have 3785mAh. If I leave it 15 minutes extra after it is loaded, it grows to 3850mAh. It is clear that it does not have 4000mAh or has software limitation loading.

But why do you charge the battery from 49%? A cable charge of 30% and wireless from 40% to 100% is more than acceptable.

I had Notes 8 and AccuBattery show me 3150mAh after 1 yea with all limitation software. We still have now Notes9 with a much bigger battery so we have no reason to worry about it 2,3years. :)
