[General Questions and Answers] Mr Davo:
Hey All,

I have an Oppo A77!

Think I can get it to 'talk' by USB with Windows? Not Windows 98, but instead Windows 7, 8 / 8.1 or 10?

The phone knows that it is plugged into a USB port, it starts charging, but Windows DOES NOT recognize! On this occasion may I say "Praise thee Bill"

Let's just say that on this (rare) occasion the fault does not lie with Windows; the Oppo is designed to operate in an INFORMATION SANDBOX. Technically it has been designed NOT to interface with Windows (not a huge surprise given the manufacturer).

NOW the question = "How do I get my phone storage?".

I have experimented with the dual purpose / port USB flash drives, but the phone struggles with anything over 1.5 Gigs (of file size!), and usually takes about 15 minutes to copy the file; this means setting the SCREEN OFF TIME TO 30 MINUTES!

Oppo have a long way to come if they are to compete with the real players.

You can't just behave like an iPhone (e.g.: even though you are Android you still behave like a... and expect to take the market by storm. You can't even give us $800 of hardware for a 3rd of the price!! You must bow before the fact that no Westerner will put up with their information being controlled!

Long live the Skripals!

Cheers

Davo

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Chandler Muriel Bing:
Hi everyone, just decided to flash a new ROM to my Mi6 and ran into Project Treble. There is a lot of threads and discussions about Treble and installation to Mi6 and I decided to open a thread which people can help me and future Treble noobs :) Thanks in advance!
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Chandler Muriel Bing:
Also I saw something about partitions ( A B and A/B ) and searched which one I'm using and which one is better? Found Mi6 is using A partition table but can't found info about which one is better and can I switch between them....
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Jeik:
A-only is better for custom ROMs since it's straight-forward.

A/B results in two system, vendor and boot partitions ( and possibly other ones too ) , excelling at seamless updates ( OTAs install on the B partitions while you are using your phone and when you reboot, the phone switches to the B partitions and you can use the update right away ).

However, on A/B devices, there's no dedicated recovery partition so you have to infuse TWRP into the boot.img just like Magisk.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Chandler Muriel Bing:
Many many thanks for too much useful and full of information post :)

I chechked HavocOS 2.0 GSI thread and i think i'll install it :)

how can i upgrade my tecno phantom 5 please, it running on lollipop and i need an upgrade urgently
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Chandler Muriel Bing:
I don't think that device has treble support, sorry. But still you can search for custom ROMs
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
I can't work out what's going on.

My phone lost it's root a few days ago - I only noticed when Magisk said it had a new one. So here's the lowdown:

My TWRP is out of date.

Magisk is out of date.

I've downloaded both the magisk.zip file and an img file of the latest TWRP.

I put them on the deskop, in the adb folder (in C drive) and on the phone under "downloads".

Boot into recovery, but when I navigate to install a zip file, it can only see the system files, no "downloads" folder or pictures or anything. I can't seem to change that.

Use Powershell to try and sideload the TWRP zip and it says "waiting for device" - that seems good. However, when i then boot into fastboot mode, Powershell tells me "error: cannotload twrp... .img"

So I try and look at Magisk, but I can only download the zip (of which I've done and can't flash it via recovery), or patch boot file, of which I can't navigate to as I'm currently not rooted so it can't find the boot file anyway.

What do I type into Powershell to flash the latest Magisk (I guess I can then update TWRP after using the in-

built updater?)?

When in TWRP, I click on the three lines on the right, which say:

What can be causing all of this?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Probably rip UFS chip, if

fastboot format userdata

won't help, then you should send your phone for repair
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
Hmm.

So the only fix is to format all the data?

What data gets deleted?

I don't really want to do that if I can help it but I guess it's the only way to fix it.

Strange how it's just done it by itself.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Is the system bootable? If yes, then you can make a backup, if not, then you can consider your data gone.

"format userdata" removes everything you have stored on the phone
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
Yeah, I can boot to my Resurrection Remix rom and see everything, all my files, it's fine.

I can connect to a PC and move files to and fro the device.

It's just TWRP doesn't seem to see the storage. When looking, it just says 0Mb :S

Does Userdata mean the apps and stuff as well?

I saw a video of someone formatting the userdata to ex2, then back to ex4 but if it means I'd have to reinstall RR then it's a lot of work for something that may happen again in the near future.

I have Titanium Backup but of course, it needs root, of which I can't gain :/
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Sounds a lot like a failed decrypt of an encrypted userdata partition, this is common in this phone with TWRP and custom ROMs.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
Is there non-destructive way to fix?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Oh, ok, I thought that the system is broken too. That's ok then, your memory chip is fine.

Can you boot an up-to-date TWRP from fastboot and try to access data?

Try with

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-oneplus3.img
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Which TWRP version do you have exactly?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] S4RGE:
Yeah, try this first. Problably you have a twrp lower than 3.2.0? I think below that it cannot decrypt Oreo encrypted Partitions.

Second thing is. Probably you have to format Data (not Userdata) anyway. I think you probably tried to upgrade Magisk because you lost root. But Magisk hat a bug in 17.0. That corrupted the permission Database. I had the same problem and was not able to get root again until formatted data. You will loose every app and its setting when formatting it. But everything under sdcard/ will still be there. So the download folder should be fine and everything. So when you make a titanium backup of your most valuable apps. You can restore them after renewing your phone.

TLDR:

1. Make Titanium Backup if you have it and want to have your apps back as before.

2. Try przemcio510 suggestion to get new TWRP. (most important)

3. backup your partitions and copy them to your pc

4. backup everything importantto you on your "SDCard" Volume (Where Download is and everything)

5. format DATA, Cache, Dalvik/ART Cache, System

4. Reflash Full OxygenOS 5.0.5

(optional) 5. Flash Rom of your flavor (with/without Gapps)

(optional) 6. Flash magisk

7. boot up your device :D

My Titanium Backup needs root to work :/

It might have been when I upgraded RR Rom to the Oreo release, but it's only been the past week when I mysteriously lost root access.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
To be clear, I think you mean fastboot whenever "ADB" is mentioned above. adb and fastboot are related, but 2 different things, with different usages and requirements. So it's best to refer to them in correct and distinct terms.

adb: Needs debugging enabled. Will work only in OS or custom recovery. Will not work in bootloader (even in fastboot mode) - maybe this is why you have "waiting for device"?

fastboot: Does not need debugging enabled. Only works in bootloader-fastboot mode.

fastboot is what you want for booting/flashing TWRP. Not adb (at least for the commands/methods suggested here).

When command prompt shows you the list of command, this almost always means your command syntax is incorrect.

In your case, you used typed "fastboot" and a file name, without telling it what to do with that file name. The suggested command was "fastboot boot filename" (no quotes) or another usage option is "fastboot flash filename".

A little confusing I know, "fastboot" in itself is not a full command/action. I has to be "fastboot boot". Think of fastboot as a "thing" instead of an action. Thus, you still need to tell fastboot to perform an action ("boot").
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] S4RGE:
Ah right I forgot. :(

As redpoint73 mentioned you have to be in fastboot mode.

When you start up your phone and the unlock Warning ist triggered. Push the volume up or down button and go to fastboot.

When you are in there the fastboot command should work.

As redpoint73 pointed out it is very important that you type "fastboot boot (ImagePath)".

To make it easier for you, you should copy the image where fastboot is.

Then you have only to enter

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-oneplus3.img

This should do the trick. If you still need help. Don't hesitate to ask.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anotherxdauser:
Sorry my explanation isn't that great.

Whenever I've mentioned adb it's the dos/command prompt window.

Fastboot is that small menu where it shows whether the device bootloader is locked or not isn't it?

At any rate, tried "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-oneplus3.img" and the command prompt window shows "waiting for device". My device is on, at the homescreen, doing nothing. The command prompt window stays like that until I boot into fastboot mode, where it then just shows the large list of commands quoted above.

HOWEVER, a development!

When in fastboot mode and using the "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-oneplus3.img" command, the window now says "cannot load 'twrp-3.2.3-0-oneplus3.img': No such file or directory". So I tried typing the exact file path (C:\adb\twrp... img), which has now allowed me to boot into the updated TWRP.

Does this mean it's just booted into it, but not updated to it?

I'm able to see the contents of my sdcard now. So flashed the latest 17.1 magisk zip and... success! I'm now on the latest magisk and have been able to flash the latest TWRP to recovery.

Just to say, I really appreciate the help with this.

I know I could factory reset but it's helping me learn more.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
You confuse some terms. adb and fastboot are programs, command prompt is the interpreter of the commands you give to these programs.

And yes, the fastboot is that mode.

Fastboot mode is meant to be used while phone is booted into fastboot mode

"no such file" means that you could have not copied the img file to the same folder as the adb binary (this is not the case when adb and fastboot binaries are installed with %PATH% variable added, then you can use these commands all over the filesystem).

Fastboot boot command, which I have provided earlier is used to boot temporarily, one time an image you tell it to.

Just kindly informing that there is a button on the lower-right hand corner for this
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
Both adb and fastboot are command prompt functions. They are both "bridge" tools used to communicate from computer to the phone.

The phone menu screen you are referring to is

bootloader

. Fastboot is one of the choices on that (bootloader) menu. It puts the phone in fastboot mode, which is specifically intended for fastboot commands (only mode fastboot command will work). The response will always be "waiting for device" if you try fastboot commands, and not in fastboot mode.

If the command is "fastboot . . . " you are issuing fastboot commands (not adb).

If the command is "adb . . . " you are issuing adb commands.

Again, they are both related, but different. Different requirements and usages for adb versus fastboot. It is important to understand the distinction, so you don't waste more time trying command in the wrong mode (which will never work).

Hi All,

I'm planning to get this tablet for the car which i'm also hoping to use for navigation, i'm seeking reports from direct experience regarding the GPS reliability, iv'e seen reports on some Huawei models (not necessarily the M2) about weak GPS signals and the location not being accurate, any input is much appreciated

The model i'm eyeing is the 802L but I assume the GPS chip would be the same across all M2 LTE models

Hi all,

Not sure why, but our company phones suffer some problem these couple week. (3 phones suffer now)

The text message is running, and if they want to send text message to contact list or previous person, it works fine.

But when they want to send to someone new text, the text message show the new dialog screen and crash to desktop right away without any warning.

I tried to clear the data cache, but it didn't help. I haven't tried clear data because they want to keep the previous text.

Does anyone have idea to fix it beside the clear data?

Thank you very much.

I ask because I got the Redmi Note 5 Global Version (Dual Camera) in red color. Dual Camera is usually considered Pro eventhou it says nowhere Pro.

Using your link will relock my sim card or what do they mean by locked?

This phone came unlocked sim by xiaomi (stock).

Also will this relock my bootloader, which xiaomi unlocked for me after waiting 360 hours?

Just select flash_all.bat

You don't have to lock your bootloader but bootloader should be unlocked before flashing fastboot ROM

Check fastboot ROM file name, it should start with whyred (no matter whether you select Redmi Note 5 Pro or Redmi Note 5 global)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ergauravtondwal:
Hi All,

Is anyone else having issues while trying to authenticate apps (or open apps) using fingerprint on the device? (Say Google Pay, I cannot log in to the app with fingerprint, phone asks for Pattern/Password).

If this is not an issue, please let me know how to enable it. I checked in settings, looks good.

Please note that I am able to unlock the device using FP

Help is appreciated! :D
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jineshpatel30:
I don't think there any option to enable it. It's system wide support that's missing from xiaomi on POCO. it was there on Mi A2 (obviously, being Android one).SO i think we need to bring this one to POCO Team's attention. Send Bug report for same & Tag them on twitter if you are there.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] pranav.suvarna:
Yup, I dont think it works on miui. I am not able to authenticate any of my banking apps via fingerprint.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sharathnakka:
I guess its depends upon the app developer. There is no fingerprint authentication for Google Pay/ Tez but I can enjoy this feature with ICICI banking app.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] pranav.suvarna:
I don't think so as its working fine on my lg g6 running 8.0 ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ergauravtondwal:
I checked. I can use it on my bank accounts, app lock, and third party app loks as well.

The thing with Tez it that it relies on Android's native screenlo k or Google Pin, now the app is probably not able to leverage the screen lock fully (the Fingerprint), which should be brought to Xiaomi's notice. I'll be writing this on the Xiaomi Forum now.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] drawkcaB:
I can't get it to work with the same app. It just says fingerprint authentication failed multiple times before I even place my finger and then it forces me back to using my pin.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mecoromeo:
Not sure with Google Pay/Tez since we don't have that in my country, but my banking apps work fine with fingerprint. Even PayPal works. I suggest updating the FIDO and IFAA certificates. If it doesn't then best bet is to truly contact Xiaomi or post in forums (though contacting them directly may be best to get any answers straight from the horses mouth)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amarden:
It worked fine for me but since the last update (10.1.3) it has become unreliable - 50/50 chance of it working. Unlock device works 100% of the time. Tried recreating all the fingerprints and same issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mike-666:
I've the same problem.

All apps i decided to secure with fingerprint, can't be unlocked with fingerprint.

Only the option of PIN is available, but don't work either.

It's the same problem as drawkcaB has told...

Did everyone solve the problem?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] DaRk_PoPoM:
I had the problem, before the 10.x update all apps were working and after I had an error. I solved it by reinstalling the concerned apps
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mike-666:
Thanks for your quick reply! :D

The problem is that it mostly affects the pre-installed apps from xiaomi.

Unfortunately, you can not uninstall these.

Presumably a reset to factory settings will be unavoidable? :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] DaRk_PoPoM:
For me it was only 3rd party apps, bus you can try wiping the app data/cache individually to see if it works?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mike-666:
Thanks for the approach. Unfortunately, this did not work. I will reset the system to factory settings.
