[Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers] jeoleo7:
Most important is you have custom ROM installed and you cannot lock the bootloader.

Get to stock first.

Start with the flashing thing.

1. Install Fastboot drivers:

To install the fastboot drivers you need to disable the drivers checking at startup.

You can do it by "Change advanced startup option > Advanced startup".

An executable file is located C: \Flashtool\drivers

2. Disable Antivirus program.

3. Flash the stock ftf

4. Lock the bootloader

I believe this will solve the issue. ;)

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers] cb0gus:
Yeah, fastboot is working, but flashmode (whatever that is) was not and the prompt never went away:

Anyway, after installing a usable recovery on the phone I was able to install OmniROM on the phone and finally have a working device again. So, even though the device is still unlocked, it's not a brick any more.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theheartbenvn:
Long story short, recently my earphone didn't make any sound when i play anything that is media volume related ( Music, Games, Youtube... didn't make any sound ), but i can still hear ringer sounds when changing the volume. Later i found that, the only way to make the earphone sounds is to change the ringer volume once so the phone can make a "bing" sound before playing any media, but if the media pauses for awhile, the problem will happen again.

I have tried to find the problem online : SoundAbout doesn't work, clearing cache isn't working either. What should i do now? I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1

[General Questions and Answers] sga-pingo:
Hi,

I hope this is the right forum, otherwise mods please move this thread to right one.

Problem

Stock Nougat ROM on Infinix Note 4 Pro (x571) was upgraded to Oreo 8.1 via OTA. Device was purely stock, no rooting or custom recovery of any sort. After a few weeks from day of upgrade, device became sluggish and restarted randomly until it reached to a level were it would start and after reaching home screen, it will restart again (a boot-loop kind of thing). I factory resetted the device using stock recovery which was the starting of disaster. I ended up being stuck in "Setup Wizard" where it would go 2 steps forward then come back to "restore device or start a refresh".

Searches on Google revealed that this setup wizard problem is not device specific and only solution is to flash stock ROM. I was unable to find stock Oreo ROM but found Nougat hence using SP Flash Tool, I manage to flash it back correctly. Device finish setup smoothly and worked flawlessly until I realized I am unable to make/receive calls. I checked and re-inserted SIM, operator signals were shown correctly, rebooted many times, cleared cache, etc. but nothing worked until another set of search at Google shows that it could be because of IMEI hence I used *#06# only to find that IMEI was null (blank).

I tried to restore IMEI from the box using:

* MTK Engineering Mode tools > Connectivity > CDS as per various forums and blogs. Unfortunately, my device was did not show CDS options like many screenshots at Internet.

* After failing with MTK Engg. Mode tools, I resorted to MobileUncle Tool. Generated IMEI.bak with genuine IMEI numbers using a software file but as soon as I touched "Restore IMEI" in MobileUncle Tool, it showed error "No Support".

Only method left for trying is this one only because I don't have Windows PC/Laptop (I use Linux as daily driver). At work, I do have Windows but IT Security has disabled all USB ports so that's a difficult option.

My questions are

1. Is there any alternative for Linux users to restore IMEI? So far I am unable to find anything. Combo of Virtual Machine or Wine is not working.

2. Is it possible using ADB/Fastboot tools?

* In case answer is NO for 1 and 2, what is the success chances of MTK Droid Tools? Important to mention that I do not have any backup of first ROM I was using before upgrade, no backup of EFS or NVRAM partitions, etc.

My phone is still functioning perfectly well with all features except IMEI issue (hence no calls or sms) and this will require a big heart for me to use it as a paper weight or email assistant.

Thanks to everyone for the time in reading my TL; DR post.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
No. The only legal way to fix the imei issue if flashing a full stock doesn't work is send it in and they will charge you for a new mother board.

Messing with imei is very illegal in some countries and as such banned here.

Not too happy with them. I ordered 2 cases , a regular carbon fiber and the Alcantara case. That was a week ago. Yesterday , send then an email wondering why 2 day UPS shipping is taking longer than a week, and they say , oh crap UPS lost them. Now they ask what I want, well I want the cases I paid for.

But.... they are now suddenly out..... geez.

Looks protective enough, but the carbon fiberness seems to be a bit... shiny? Like it's got a laquer coat on top? Cases by Pitaka I've used in the past, have a more grainy texture to them. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jaben2:
It does feel like it has a coating on top of the back. I had a pitaka case before and they feel a lot different.

It's not slippery on the edges it's like a rubber around the edges, which gives good grip.. The back is smooth though.

Would love to see some pictures of the Alcantara one. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] nuclearrage:
The Alcantara case. The headphone hole could be a bit bigger. Also , not much feedback on the buttons, but not a deal breaker. I would call this a light duty case , as it is very thin . It protects, but I think the Facebook ads are a little over the top. Also the Alcantara is only on the very back, kinda like an inlay, and has a carbon fiber stripe to one side. The sides are very grippy . I was looking for my like Samsung's case for the note 8 , while this is close , it is not up to the same level.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] QLR1:
I ordered their regular carbon case at the beginning of September, but I ultimately decided to return mine since I wanted something different.

I had to fight to get my money back because their return policy was not clear to me. Ultimately, I was made whole by PayPal.

The case looked nice and I had no issues with it, though.

Guys would it be safe to flash a different model firmware from H8276?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
I use H8266 on my H8296.

So there is a high chance.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Nidhal AKA the king:
you better flash a firmware that matches your H8296... because it has 6GB of ram, and the H8266 has only 4GB... so, when you go to Developers Options and check the available ram.. you will notice there is a 2GB missing....

so you won't benefit all the 6GB of ram available on your phone, and also it might not work properly!

YOU HAVE TO REFLASH YOUR PHONE AGAIN... use any rom that has the "H8296" model name! THAT WOULD BE SAFE....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
What?

The phone is running a 64-bit operating system.

It uses all the ram it has build in.

I also can use every LTE frequency in my country, including LTE band 20.

And if you install aosp on it, you will install the same drivers from the Sony home for every XZ2(C) device.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
This One M7 had been my spare for close to a year. I replaced the screen, camera, and back cover to make it whole again, and everything worked great for a couple months. Unfortunately, it completely died one day while I was using it and the device has shown no signs of life since... until now.

Actually, it still doesn't really show any signs of life. No amount of button holding has been able to elicit any response whatsoever. No charging indicator light either. I've tried leaving it sitting for several months, but this too has not changed anything. I finally opened it up today to check on the battery connection and reseated it. Still nothing.

The one and only response that I do get is recognition on my computer when plugging it in, where it shows up as an "MTP USB Device." Nothing shows up in Windows Explorer though except an empty CD drive.

Any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itwasmistake:

I'll try to measure the battery voltage this weekend. Aren't the pins a little small to test with standard multimeter leads though?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
0volt multimeter test

I finally got around to trying to measure the voltage of the current battery with a standard multimeter. I got absolutely nothing, which means that I'm either measuring it wrong, the leads are not sharp enough, or the battery is dead. Has anyone else ever had any luck testing this battery with a multimeter?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
Going for it!

I tested another, similar, battery by multimeter successfully, so I suspect that it might just be a case of bad battery (at least). With that and the fact that I had a Galaxy Note 2 battery fail earlier in the year, I'm going to jump in and buy new batteries.

Rather than just trying to go cold turkey and install the replacement, I'll test it with the multimeter and then hook it up pre-install. If the phone powers up, then (and only then) will I go through the massive hassle of replacing it. We'll know one way or another next week when it comes in.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
Humongous Tinfoil Catamaran!

Just to follow up, I did end up buying that battery. Definitely not "new," but as long as it's in decent shape, it should do the job. While the multimeter test revealed practically nothing, (same as before) the phone did spring to life with the charging indicator as soon as I plugged it in to power. With that, I've charged it up and will be fully testing the phone next weekend. If everything checks out, I'll start the long & annoying process of replacing the battery and hopefully have a fully-working One once again.

Here's to Change!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
FIXED!

Just to provide some closure, I can say that the battery replacement was a success! The vibration motor is totally dead (despite being plugged in adequately and not seized) and the casing took a beating from the repeated re-entry attempts, but the phone is now working once again. I suppose I could buy another replacement back cover to really finish the job, but will probably just leave it as-is for right now.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ultrasoul:
Can a fellow Boost Moto G6 Play user who is rooted help send me their id_00 file in the folder /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/datablock/ folder?

I was trying to do a SIM unlock it using a method that works on the Moto Z2 Force that basically modifies the value of the id_00 persist file to 0000 but unfortunately this does not work on Boost Moto G6. Instead, this causes the Moto G6 modem to become disabled instead.

As Moto stock firmware/ images never include an image of the Persist folder, will someone be kind enough to upload their working version of the id_00 file from the persist folder /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/datablock/

And yes I have reflashed the Sprint stock modem NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn but this does not fix the issue. The id_00 file in the persist folder remains untouched which is the reason why successful unlocks remain even though the modem or firmware is updated or changed.

With volte services on u will get 4g data while on calls. If u r not on Volte the data network will change to 3g or 2g and data will keep on working .

But there's a catch , in dual sim mode only one sim data is active . So if u have Jio and BSNL sim and Jio has data

1. If BSNL call comes u won't be able to access data during data.

2. If Jio calling is used u will get 4g data during call also.

U can try putting Jio in 2nd sim slot and enable dual 4g and also enable use 2nd sim data if volte call.

Yes, since you can boot into recovery. Use the computer to put zip files on either the SD card or a USB stick if you have an OTG cable.
