[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bmxmike:
So pretty sure the daughter board for usb is bad in my S8, I keep seeing the moisture warning message. Occasionally the message will go away so I try and plug the phone in to which I get an error in Windows that the "Device Descriptor" error, so basically Windows can't tell what it is, even trying to set the drivers myself made no difference. I've also tried in download mode but still get the same error.

I'm currently on PartyCyborg(With SS) so I can't take the official ota like I was going to as it errors out.

Can I flash a stock rom through flashfire or any other methods to get me back to stock and then I'll take the OTA? Just through my brief research I see that alot of people suggest to only flash system.img or AP and to not try and flash bootloader or anything else.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bluheart:
Same rom zip file can be flashed via flashfire but if u to go back to stock, then via Odin flash complete latest firmware of your region
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bmxmike:
I cant odin because the port is bad, Im stuck on PartyCyborg because I cant take an OTA so Im trying to get back to stock which I need to atleast flash my bootloader, I'm running factory binary basically for BL and think that's why it fails to update

Hi,'

I had some important notes in my S-notes app. unfortunately, I didn't backup those files.

I unisltalled the app and then reinstalled it.

When I'm trying to import files from the application settings it says- "no files found" (tried all the options, from device from google account and so forth).

The "com.samsung.android.app.notes" folder on the SD card is empty.

There is some way to revocer this data? some application you can recommend me for?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Duo8:
EDIT: Fixed with unbricking service. No other way AFAIK. The error is caused by flashing to US998 20d from V300L 21k. Another user ran into the same error flashing from V300 21 to H930 20. So I guess the takeaway is to be careful when downgrading.

So I think I messed up and now my phone is stuck in UEFI crash (text screen with "LGE crash handler: UEFI crash"). It keeps bootlooping and I can't even turn it off.

QPST says it's in download mode when I plug it in.

Any chance I might be able to fix this?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Duo8:
Read some other threads, there was a mention of a built in fastboot in the PBL but that seems to be untrue.

Maybe this isn't the PBL considering screen is working and there's LG branding.

I've also heard of a recent exploit for SD chipsets, something about the PBL's signature verification. If this works for the firehose, then maybe someone can modify an existing firehose to adapt for the V30, this way a leak won't be necessary. Though if anyone will bother is another matter.

edit:

my device solved with jtag in repair shop.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Duo8:
So I still haven't managed to fix this, but did some reading. The phone isn't even in 9008 mode so remote repair probably isn't possible. It shows up as a LG AndroidNet device or something. It might be in 9006 mode except with LG's USB ID (1004:6340) and without an interface to the internal storage.

I tried using a tool to communicate in sahara mode but it's outdated so it can only connect to the device and not much else, the commands are mostly invalid. Interestingly when I tried to switch to download mode it requests a 1KB "AMSS" image.

Anyway I'll need a way to enter 9008 mode if I'm to get it repaired. If anyone know of a way I'd appreciate it if you share.

Hi Guys,

I've just started getting a really weird set of circumstances on my HTC Kaiser. I can't hard reset it, the two phone keys, the soft buttons and the D pad don't work. I'd attribute this to water in the phone, but the backspace button on the virtual keyboard doesn't do anything either.

I want to try re-flashing the rom prior to going back in store and asking them to fix it, but I've just been on the T-Mobile website and I can't find it there, and it's not on the CD Rom either :(

I've got some work-arounds for it not working right now, but I could really do with a pointer to the rom if there's one around :)

Thanks,

Jon

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sirjohnrl:
Hello,I just recieved my xiaomi mi a2 and updated it to the latest version. The phone is awesome,but ive been reading about how much better the camera is with google camera,for which you need to unlock camera 2 api. Is it really that much better? And is there a way to do it without rooting the phone,only with unlocking the bootloader? I have found some guides but they are so complicated and i understoon nothing. Bit help would be appreciated. :):)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I'd suggest that whatever confuses you re those guides, just search google for that topic. You'll find tons of info. Yes, it is time consuming to read them, but hey, if you want to know what you're doing first, rather than regret things later...

Is the Google camera ports worth it? That's obviously going to come down to personal choice. Do you use your phone camera a lot? Is it something you need, or just a want? Do you want to (or even have the time) invest the time?

For those that don't use their phone / camera that much, I'd honestly say just enjoy the phone, and the already great pictures it takes (when you do take a picture - and for some that's not that often).

What ever you decide, don't rush headlong into it. Some have bricked their phones not knowing what they were doing. That's got to be pretty painful I'd imagine.

my brother-in-law bought a Yotaphone 3 from CECT Shop but he accidentally ordered the Chinese/English version, instead of the multi-language version (he only speaks German and Russian).

Is the firmware for the multi-language version available anywhere, so I could flash the phone with it myself?

Guys, I my op5t has been off for a few days already. It turned of it self and refused to turn on. Initially it use to vibrate after pressing power for more than 10 sec but now it's totally irresponsible. I tried to unbrick with the unbrick tool that we have in op5t thread, with no success. I follow every single step carefully, the phone is recognized in the PC, however, when I start Msmdownloadtool keeps showing me "firehose communication handshake" or "sahara communication failed". I've already press volume up+power but it starts do alternate between "com device" and "no device" with no success. I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem. Has anyone faced something like that?

Hi everyone, I accidentally deleted a hidden album on gallry app in my Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus, now on Miui10 mounting android Oreo. After trying to get them back trough various apps, which was pointless, I tried other recovery option using external softwares like dr.fone/fonedog/easus mobisaver. Every program finds my redmi easily, while trying to recover data seems impossible. I understand that each of these softwares need to install a service app on my phone to work, but obviously Oreo has a per-app permission to be enabled for unknown sources apps, this meaning that I can't tick a single f****ing box to do that, I have to find the app responsible for that install and then allow it to do that. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Which app is responsible for usb-installation? OFC none of the software houses above took care of explaining that for Oreo users. Any help would be appreciated guys :(

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] bashulaojia:
I have been trying to get Google Drive backups to work for the last couple of days on an unrooted, Chinese stock rom MediaPad 8,4" LTE with 128GB internal storage. My Google account was successfully added as backup account, however, on the active backups list, all entries are stuck at "waiting to backup". I am currently outside of China, which should pretty much prevent any VPN or networking issues. Since the China stock rom came without the Google Play Store, I added the Google Store via Huawei's own AppStore. Downloading apps from the Google store works without any problems. So I am guessing the Google services are all up and running - at least I am seeing these:

Google Service Framework 8.0.0-4147944 Updated 10 Sept.

Google Play Store 10.3.12-all (0) (PR) 108814133 Updated 16 Sept.

Google Play Service 13.2.80 (04048-211705629) Updated 16 Sept.

Earlier today I tried to manually kickstart the backup via ADB, which unfortunately enough failed:

./adb shell
bmgr run
bmgr backupnow --all

resulted in:

Running incremental backup for all packages.
Package @pm@ with result: Transport error
Backup finished with result: Transport error

while

bmgr list transports
android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport
com.google.android.gms/.backup.migrate.service.D2dTransport
* com.google.android.gms/.backup.BackupTransportService

clearly states that the BackupTrasportService is selected as default and active.

bmgr list sets

returns a plain "No restore sets"

I am somewhat running out of ideas. Looking forward to any helpful pointers...
[Android General] CaptainChris2018:
If you want a PC Like UI For your Android Device, here is how to do it!!!

You don't even need to format to use this method! All you need is a Launcher From the Google Play Store!

1. Open The Google Play Store (Or a Website you get apks from)

2. Search Leena Desktop UI

The Icon is a PC With an L. With Buttons on the bottom

3. Install it

4. Last Set Leena As your Default Launcher.

Your Done!

When you tap the home key, You see your Andorid Phone or Tablet has the UI of a PC

Please Note as of 9-30-18, The app is in Beta as it says on the app so there will be bugs such as Resting to Small Text when you open the Launcher, Moving Around Windows Doesn't Always Work, etc.

Features:

1. Web apps (On the Dock By Default)

List of Web Apps

- Dropbox

- Evernote

- Facebook

4. Like macOS, You Drag Apps or Even Files to The Dock To a Shortcut to them, and like macOS, you can Drag a Shortcut out of the Dock to remove the Shortcut!

Man! This Launcher is alot like macOS

5, Again! This has a title bar like macOS Where can see you battery settings, Change Wi-Fi Settings and Even Change The Volume, will you can just use the Volume Rockers for that as you know every Android Device has Volume Rockers (Even the Very Cheap Tablets that you can't do anything on and The Kindle Fire's that are not branded as Android Tablets but they are android Tablets have Volume Rockers :good:)

6, No ads Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, Enjoy the Windows/macOS UI For your Android Device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I know these are much tougher to find - can't be obtained from SamFirm or SamMobile. So I'll be uploading one for each bootloader version. Firmware is universal on U models so you can use the other 4 files from any other matching collection. Can probably even mix and match builds, if you can't find files for the exact same build. Can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader.

USERDATAs for any other CSCs can be gotten from SamFirm - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC that's not commonly found on SamMobile (ACG, LRA, TFN, etc), let me know and I can probably get it.

Yes, you can. There basically is no difference
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sean8102:
I'm begging someone to help me. I flashed my AT&T S8+ to the G955U1 unlocked firmware, then got accepted into the beta and installed it via OTA update. I now want to go back to a AT&T rom so I can have stuff like Wi-fi calling and VOLTE back. I've tried so many different roms with ATT userdata and they all fail with ODIN. I'm guessing its something to do with bootloader version. Is there any way I can get back to a AT&T ROM from the G955U1 Pie beta firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well the beta has to still be Bootloader 5, so just flash any 5 build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sean8102:
I finally managed to get Odin to flash a ROM. All of them I tried were bootloader 5. But now the problem is I cant get OTA updates. My phone is back to being a AT&T one with the AT&T boot screen and wi-fi calling etc etc. But everytime I check for updates it says its up to date even though I have CRL1 and the latest AT&T firmware is U5CSA4. I would update form SD card but that wipes the phone every time. I had to do that 4 or 5 times just to get to CRL1 because it kept saying my phone is up to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. AT&T phones don't OTA if you're using a carrier other than AT&T - even their own MVNOs

2. If you are using AT&T, OTA rollouts are staged. It just came out less than a week ago, so your phone might not have been green-lit yet

3. Both 1 and 2 are really irrelevant anyways, because you can just Odin flash any update you want. Using HOME CSC will ensure data isn't wiped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sean8102:
I am using AT&T. I know rollouts are staged but I've never had it tell me my phone is up to date when it is 7 versions behind which it was because I had to start at CRF5 since that is the newest AT&T Userdata file I could find. I checked after doing the update from SD card method each time, making sure to put the date on my phone forward since AT&T only lets you manually check once a day. No matter what it said I was up to date despite being several versions behind.

I'm gonna try using Odin to flash one more time because not being able to do OTA update is a HUGE PIA. Dose it matter that the user data is called "ATT_G955USQU5CRF5" despite the firmware being USQS because I couldn't find a USQUCRF5 and besides AT&T's update history shows USQSCRF5 anyways. What I did was downloaded a verizon G955USQS5CRF5 ODIN file (because for some reason AT&T odin files are really hard to find) and replaced the Verizon user data with the AT&T one.

Also if I flash say CSA4 verizon with the verizon user data the put my AT&T sim card in it dose it not download all the the carrier bloatware and what not? dose that basically turn it back into a AT&T phone? or could I take that CSA4 and flash it with the CRF5 AT&T user data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
1. I have no idea what the difference is between SQS and SQU. Even on the same network, it seems to be completely random as to which one gets assigned to each new update. I don't think it matters

2. Don't flash userdata if you're going to Odin flash a different carrier's version. Just do the normal 4 files
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sean8102:
Sorry for the late reply. But just wanted to say that this method of getting from a G955U1 (US Unlocked) firmware back to AT&T branded firmware did end up working. I did eventually start getting OTA updates after using the method I mentioned (flashing Verizon USQS5CRF5 ROM files with AT&T G955USQS5CRF5 USERDATA file using ODIN Odin3 v3.13.1 3B Patched). Then updating to the then latest version using the update.zip method using files from the "Firmware Science" site (I think that's the name). Then about two days after AT&T released a new update I actually got it OTA. However after it installed successfully my chrome app became broken. Opening it and hitting the ... button in the top right would open the menu but all the options just said "chrome". Tried clearing the cache and files of Chrome but then it just crashed when launched. Had to do a reset (not a big deal since I had a Samsung SmartSwitch backup on my SD Card). Just hope that dose not happen every OTA, but guessing it was a weird fluke.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Since the USERDATA is TA5, I would recommend using a build that's closer to that one. You can get TA3 from SamFirm under regions/CSCs ACG, CCT, LRA, SPR, TFN, or VZW.
