[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Just for your info: I read very often that people relock their bootloader to receive OTA updates:

There's no need to do that. OTA updates don't care about the bootloader status. All you have to do is flash full stock if you're rooted. If anything has been tampered in system, vendor or else the OTA will fail but because Motorola allows unlocking an open bootloader is no problem.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] spagentdalecooper:
When I had Moto G2, I got the OTA updates after unlocking the bootloader and I used to do that with other phones too but many wrote for Moto G5 plus that " You have to relock the bootloader or you wouldn't get OTA update". So because of that I flashed the stock ROM and relocked the bootloader.

Now, my question is that should I back up the "persist" and "efs" of my Moto G5 plus before flashing custom ROM?

I'm asking this because I've never installed the custom ROM on my Moto G5 Plus and I read somewhere that "backup efs and persist before installing custom ROM or Volte and IMEI number will be lost when switching back to stock". I never had to do that in other phones. So what necessary things I should do before installing custom rom on my G5 plus?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] spagentdalecooper:
:confused::confused:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Backup your persist and EFS before you install any custom rom because you need the version while you are on stock.

If you want to flash any custom Oreo/Pie Rom you shoud go to stock Nougat before (maybe a TWRP flashable) because most of the custom roms are based on stock Nougat, not stock Oreo and the blobs may not fit. (Check the developers notes of the rom ypu want to flash)

- Backup ypur persist and EFS while you are on stock (If you are on stock Oreo now save it and save it again when you´re on stock Nougat just to be on the safe side)

- Flash a stock Nougat rom before you move to a custom rom.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] baskye:
Thank you, I unlocked the bootloader using the same guide. I was on stock oreo. First time unlocked the bootloader. Got the unlock code mail immediately. My device is XT1686 Indian retail version.

Now moved on to custom pie rom.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] baskye:
I unlocked my bootloader which is C0.92, with the standard guide through motorolo website.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] spagentdalecooper:
Yeah, I did it too. A Few days after making that comment. I'm using Pixel Experience ROM for the past 6 months. But thank you for replying.

I tell you the problem is that the computer does not detect the phone is as if the data port on the phone does not work, if I open a CMD console and put the command: fastboot devices tells me that it is waiting for the device, but if I prendo the phone nothing and check the charging connector and it's fine, someone who has happened this and guide me. , I installed the drivers, tried other USB cable, and different PC ports

Hey everyone!

My wife's piexel 2 bricked couple of days ago. it is stuck in bootloader with this error: error: slot unbootable: load error. Restarting bootloader does not help, can't go into recovery, it just brings me back to bootloader screen with error mentioned above.

I've searched the forums and googled the issue for two days now and found couple of similar issues but no fix that would work for me :(

Bootloader is locked, so I had no luck sideloading OTA or flashing factory image. At the same time I am not able to unlock the bootloader from fastboot.

fastboot flashing unlock, which according to google's page dedicated to factory images (can't post external links) should unlock bootloader without need for USB debugging does not work for me. I get this:

fastboot flashing unlock

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed

')

Finished. Total time: 0.002s

Device shows in fastboot, not adb, though (again, usb debugging was not turned on before this happened)

Any help or ideas are welcome :)

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] losmingo:
Hi, I wanted to share the resolution of the fault that has plagued my Leeco Le Pro 3 X720. The smartphone was placed on the desk in stanby not charging and the failure occurred with excessive heat localized in the lower area Charge dock board, not waking up with fingerprint reader or power button.

After having disassembled it to the instrument control of the Charge dock board I find a shorted capacitor (see attached photo)

https://imgur.com/a/FAhdM5n?

that causes the total discharge of the battery bringing the voltage of the same below the recharge threshold. Replaced the condenser, recharged the battery with bench battery charger directly on the terminals to bring it back to a charge value above the minimum threshold.

Reassembled the smartphone returns to normal operation.

Not having the wiring diagram of the terminal ignore the value of the capacity installed in the factory, but being wired on the power terminals of the active component next I replaced it with a capacitor of the same physical dimensions and a capacity of 0.47 µF 10 Vl recovered from other electronic cards.

While for what concerns the replacement Charge dock board that are on aliexpress, ebay, amazon etc., as already reported by Kener97 in this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75483859&postcount= 7 are without active components.

Hi,

[MENTION=382815]Kaa[/MENTION]dyep

Mine was broken as well. I ordered one on Aliexpress. Seller is Trafalgar (can't post link, rating is 4.9 at the moment, at 100 orders) and cost around 30-38 USD inclusive tools.

Fits perfect and work without issues and no bleeding. The included tools are ok, just the Torx is not fitting. Open the phone is easy but the display is glued. Since the display was broken anyway, i just used one of the included plastic clips and push it under the edge of the broken display, go one round and then you can remove it. The phone still need to be fully disassembled since the flat cable is under the motherboard and battery pack. After that I used very thin double sided tape on the edges to glue the new one in. That is 2 weeks ago and no issues.

Hope that helps.

WTF, the quotations were a ripoff (to me atleast) but you can save like half and install it on your own if you buy online from China.

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

It could be that the FHD only denotes the 1080 part then the other would be dependend on the aspect ratio. You could say that a panel is FHD but the ratio might be 21:9 (ultrawide), 18:9 (for smartphones), 16:9 (regular), etc.

2- Made in 2018 , 2 SIM . At least 6 GB Ram and 64 GB ROM.

Hi Guys,

Yesterday, as usual (i.d.r. every 2 weeks), I received a notification that a new update is available. These updates have a size of about 570MB.

As usual, such an update went through in 2-3 minutes, but yesterday after the restart again TWRP opened with the headings "Unmodified System Partition" and "Keep System Read Only?".

I was not sure and I saw this window for the first time, I clicked on "Keep Read Only". Alternatively, I could have chosen 2Swipe to Allow Modifications".

Since then, my Le Eco Le Pro3 always starts in a black window with a Chinese and English text ...

"You've entered fastbood fashion, press and hold the power key to exit and reboot normally."

A restart does not help, as this window always opens.

What can I do to get my smartphone up and running again?

-The updates were always made directly on the smartphone, that is without a PC.

- In TWRP I come in, if I hold the volume + button when restarting

It supports Quick Charge 4.0 out of the box. Just get yourself a QC 4.0 charger and you are set. The bundled one is QC 3.0
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I tried to get my head around the difference between QC 3 and 4 and was left unclear about the benefit of getting a QC 4 charger - they appeared pretty much the same standards.

Hi, thanks for that link - very helpful.

My follow-up question would be, where can you get a QC 4.0 charger, since Amazon just returns QC 3 ones. I found a link to a Qualcomm list of QC 4.0 devices - pretty obscure brand names.

Are they a real thing?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ruvy:
Found this one Amazon. Not sure if available in your location.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Hi Ruvy, I'm not sure, but I think that's a 4Amp charger. It's dash charge compatible (OnePlus' proprietary standard) but doesn't mention Quick Charge anywhere

I'd be very surprised (from what I've read) if it is compatible with QC 4 well (though at that price I'd love to be proved wrong!)

I don't have any idea how you got those obscure speeds.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
It does charge crazy fast, though maybe not quite that quick. With the QC 3 charger it's always full after an hour and a half on charge (though it's never below 10%).

I have mine on a Budi 2A timer/charger. I set it to charge for 2 hrs at bedtime then if needed I top it up in the morning (so it doesn't sit at 100% for too long)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:

Actually seems to have improved somewhat, though the charger does tend to slow down from 80% to 100%.

On a quick charge test with Oneplus and Asus the Poco came in 3rd (due to it;s larger battery) around 2hrs 5mins to quick charge from 0% to 100%. This is probably 3/4 hour faster.. That is almost half as long as a quick charge 3...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jody2k:
Okay that would be great let us know what charger and cable you were using
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
That QC 4 charger looks nice and quick, but frankly not much quicker than the standard issue QC 3 charger. (I bought myself a spare for a couple of Euros) - with a really good baseus costing a couple of Euros more. It charges the phone as full as I ever need inside an hour (I try to keep it between 20 and 80%)

Frankly though, you shouldn't expect a big difference between QC 3, QC 4 and QC 4+ - the standards are very similar, for our purposes (I think I linked to a description of the differences in an earlier post on the previous page)

Edit - ok - here's the relevant bit

So maybe that means that QC 4 is more of a device-side difference than a charger side difference?

Either way, I don't think there's much in it
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 27MAA:
Poco F1 is listed as QC 4+ compliant in Qualcomm website, and QC4+ supports dual charge technology, so it should support 27watts charging right?
