[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] solson1041:
I just bought a 2013 Nexus 7 today for very cheap, to use in my car as a headunit and learn a bit about flashing different roms, using the timur kernal, etc. It looks like it was used at some sort of healthcare facility though, because it has some "Optum Health" software on it, deeper than just an app it remained after a factory reset. On restart the optum health logo comes up, immediately after the google logo and says loading, well before it actually loads to the home page of the tablet. So it's pretty deep. I was thinking a fresh factory ROM would help me out.

I was following this guide to get twrp on the phone, as wifi wasn't working (most likely because I had tried to remove the optum stuff by disabling apps, and I got a little trigger happy) load via adb:

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

Everything was cool until I went to restart it. I typed "fastboot reboot" into the command prompt, she restarted, and gets infinitely stuck at the "Optum Health" logo, and the word "Loading" pulses underneath.

I can't get it back to the bootloader by holding the volume buttons and "hold", the cmd/powershell doesn't see the device connected. However, the computer makes the chime sound of a device connecting when I try to open the bootload menu using the buttons, the power shell waits longer to say it failed, but it still doesn't work.

Do I have any options? Or did I completely brick my old, cheap, facebook marketplace, probably stolen from a hospital tablet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Follow these instructions to resolve the problem and flash up-to-date Android - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flo/install

"With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power until the bootloader appears, then release the buttons." it really works.

Then connect it to a PC and install proper USB driver - https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Troops42:
Once you get ADB & Fastboot installed on your PC or linux , do a command prompt with the device connected.

adb devices

It should list your device in your terminal output. If and when it does..If your a little hinky on the buttons just do a command prompt: adb reboot recovery, adb will reboot your device for you into recovery mode. Then follow the LOS instructions provided for you & you will be amazed at how great your tablet works. Just a little FYI, if you've never done this before, find the "pico" gapps, don't try to install any of the bigger ones, there is not enough room on the sys partition for the full gapps install. After & if you get pico installed you can always add to it with all the room you have left now on the rest of the device. Also when you are installing LOS, make sure you find and install the gapps at the same time you install the OS, before you reboot your device. It will save you a lot of headaches. Just follow the directions and you will be very happy.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] DavidFlint:
Dear everybody,

Currently I am using a LG G5 (H850 EU) which is really great for root. Unfortunately due to a display issue and lack of good quality spare parts on the worldwide online market I am looking for a new phone. Important to me among others:

- Easy to root

- Ultra-wide cam

- MicroSD Card

That's why I am considering the LG G7 ThinQ. However, it seems quite a big hassle to get root on the LG G7 ThinQ when I read the forums here at XDA. Furthermore, J0SH1X announced to stop developing TWRP for LG G7 (here). This leads me to the question if the G7 is still worth buying if root is important? My fear is Android 9, which could be problematic without any new TWRP.

Would it better buying a V30 which looks also great instead of the G7? What are your thoughts?

Thank you for any advise.

Best wishes,

Alex
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
It depends on what model is it? Look for the European model (lmg710ea) because thats the only one that can be unlocked rn (eaw and others have locked bootloaders). And j0sh1x actually didnt quit. He got Android Pie working on the g7 and we got resistant twrp too.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] odicamillo:
In my opinion the G7 is working very well.

Rooting is relatively easy for the EU model (see the dedicated thread).

I am missing a bit the TWRP for the stock firmware (that is more than enough for me) and I fear we will not get it soon if ever.

I was following this thread [GUIDE] How To Install TWRP & Root Galaxy S8 After Oreo Update breaking the device, and get a loop device with the legend of the OEM. After that, I follow this thread [ROM] [8.0] [OFFICIAL] [CRGB] [ODIN FLASHABLE] For Galaxy S8+ [G955F/FD] [08.09.2018]. Everything was ok, I received an OTA didn't remember the version and continue configuring until I install the Magisk.apk and restart the device, the device stays on OEM boot loop again, trying to reflash S8+ Official Oreo CRGB Firmware 07.09.2018 this version, comes the error SW rev. check to fail device 4 binary 3 related that I am trying to use an older version.

So I find 2 newer versions: SM-G955F_1_20180904043214_2afttpa4az_fac // SM-G955F_1_20180904010814_39o648ohci_fac. Try and now the error is the Kernel rev.

Hope you can help me with some guideline here.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
As you have already guessed you are trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. Device 4 = current bootloader version on phone.Binary 3 = bootloader your trying to flash.

Have a look through this and use samfirm to download latest firmware then flash with odin. Or download latest from sammobile and flash.

When looking at firmware names the 5th number from the right is the bootloader version number.You will need version 4 bootloader firmware.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sctb1:
Since the update to MIUI 10 I have a problem with android.process.media draining the battery in the background. Today it used over 30% of my battery. It happens every couple of days and I think that clearing the cache and data for Downloads and Media Storage makes it temporarily go away, but it always comes back.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution? I have seen some related posts that suggest a corrupt SD card but I do not have an SD card in the phone.

Thanks!

Do you have some files/folders with non-ASCII or non-UTF-8 names? If yes, can you try to rename those or move out to another storage?

Try also to move out all your media files to somewhere else, to test if the problem occur on some media files.

Do you use custom ringtones/notifications sound? If yes, try also to use the default one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sctb1:
I've removed all my pictures and videos and ran the deep clean feature of the built in cleaner app. After that the Media process went crazy once draining battery but I've had a couple of days with no problems. I use the new nature sounds for notification.

I will monitor and if it continues to happen I might be forced to try a factory reset since I can't seem to find the cause.

Hello,

I've currently had my 8252 for about 30 days now and everything has been running smooth but recently just last night I've ran into a problem with my slider. It has seemed to have "popped out of the socket" somehow on one side which leaves it flapping...At&T offered no help only a charge of 400 dollars to replace the device. Is there a way I could dismantle the device and fix this myself or has anyone else ran into this type of problem ?

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] hellscanyon215:
i recently bought a refurbished j3 luna from walmart for 25 bucks (what a steal!) and am wondering what the processor of this model is.

samsung and carriers really love to play around naming and changing the processor on, what is on the outside, the exact same phone. the j3 itself is sold under many different names:confused:, such as the prime for tmobile, emerge for sprint, express prime 3 for cricket, and other random mishmash. some have samsung's own exynos and others (cdma) a qualcomm (but im not sure which one because i think some have snapdragon 410s and others 425s)

so if anyone could just check the processor on this model it would be very much appreciated!:laugh:

also this might be a dumb question, but is the phone locked or unlocked? if it is locked, can i still put a tmobile sim card and run it because walmart family runs off of tmobile?

thank you!! :)

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Davetheboss:
Hello everyone,

I have a major issue regarding battery.

Here is a rundown of what has happened.

1. There was moisture detected at first by the sensor and there was in fact moisture there after I plugged in my usb charger in and saw water around the usb-c connector. This was due to humidity most likely as I live in NJ.

2. I cleaned it out with a cue tip at first and nothing changed. Plugged my usb charger back in to see if water was around it which it was not obviously.

3. Left my phone on overnight and then the Icon went away but, I could not charge my phone anymore despite their being no notification showing me that the phone was incapable of being charged because of "x" reason. I also made sure to use a shop vacuum to remove any other residue inside the phone.

4. Turned my phone off and then I was finally able to charge it.

5. Turned it back on and then the issue I have now is happening along with the fact, when I use my charger that came with the phone, I get a notification that I should use the charger that came with phone if I want it to charge faster....

Not only that but, to get it to charge occassionally I had to turn airplane mode on and THEN it would charge. This is spotty because it works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't.

Today I hit a breakthrough. After doing a factory reset (that literally did not change anything at all. Same problem, despite everyone at reddit suggesting a factory reset) I loaded my back up file that I created before the factory reset and *poof* the issues described above vanished.

However. When I put my phone into airplane mode and turned it off (tried to mimic the most successful variables that allowed me to use the phone without issue) and then plugged a my usb cable in, it charged no problem. Then when I turned the phone back on, the evil bleeping and screen dimmer of death came back on.

I am not up for a loaner phone and I can not wait 2 weeks for a new phone seeing as I work and people are always calling me.

Recommendations?

Not sure what else you can do. Sounds like the port got shorted out partially. I suggest grabbing a Qi charger and going that route in the interim, that should work without issue, unless the circuit on the board is the issue and not the USB port.

Hi all

I've seen there are a lot of second hand Note 4's around with random reboots and overheating issues. I've read up on it for the last couple of months but cannot get to the bottom of is it a software problem or a hardware problem?

I'm wondering if a JTAG reflash would solve the issue, or instead they are manufacturing defects either in the phone or its components (power control chip maybe?).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raul6:
On my, still working N4, it would occasionally overheat due to an runaway process (some app) and once that is stopped or removed it would return to normal operation. Otherwise, cool as cucumber
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PurpleMelbourne:
Thanks for that reply.

Not quite definitive. I may have to get an external flasher and find out for myself if these many Note4's with overheat problems are a common manufacturing defect or a software problem fixable by flashing which must reset some power settings which get jammed.

The other thing I was wondering was if there was a solder problem which may be fixable with a reflow oven. They are pretty cheap now at about US$400. But cheaper to not buy one ;)
