That is why I like Samsung OEM cases for the N9. They line the inside of them with material to decrease the chance of these blunders.

Something softer than sand it appears.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrpickem:
my note 8 still is scratch free after riding in a UAG case since launch...hoping to get my Note 9 tomorrow or Thursday...just couldn't bring myself to pay 1250 at launch this year after having new Note every year since GN3 on launch day or before with early shipping. Managed to acquire one on swappa for $850(512GB) so it was worth the wait if it's as described
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
are these glass backs or some poly type plastic? I wonder whether a session with poly watch might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Glass back. A good was or oleophobic coating might help with some scratches. Definitely not going to help with sand getting in between case and phone though.

Hey, reviving an old thread. Did you find any fix? I have not one, but 2 medium and 1 small scratch on my back and I used Displex but didnt change anything (I mean really nothing). Any other suggestion? I would try a magic pen for cars and then apply dbrand skin. I so ****ing hate how weak is the rear glass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
There is no fix. Just prevention. All mentioned above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] azZA_09:
Yea, but I had a HTC 10 before, full metal. Never had a rear glass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Sand/dust will always cause scratches on glass. Only way around it is to put a protective skin on the back. Even if it's a tight case, the device will shift and particles can still move around between device and case.

There's probably no way to fix the scratches once their occur because its happening to the glass, not a layer of protection onto of it like paint is on a car. No matter what clear liquid you put on their to dry, it will always show the scratch/crack as light will refract at multiple angles, causing you to see the scratches/crack.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tamerh:
Also the finger print sensor is very eazy to scratch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SouthernEvo:
Ironically when I got my Note 9 I left the plastic attached to the back of the phone from the factory before I installed a case on it . I learned this from my S8+ which also got similar scratches . My thought process is this , I was putting it in a case anyways and while the case itself should protect it . I decided to leave the plastic backing on the phone in place anyways . Not like I was going to see it under the case anyways .

Extracting ramdisk image to change fstab.tenderloin to make system read and write allowing permanent root access using any ROM ever created for the HP Touchpad.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 64-bit (All the software is open source and free, you can get the packages necessary for your distro)

Create a folder in /home (root) name it hpboot ( on the PC ) all work is done on the PC.

Open the custom ROM zip file and extract boot.img to the created directory hpboot

Open Terminal in the hpboot directory, all the commands needs to be enter there.

Text beginning with –>># are for information only. Do not paste into the Linux terminal window.

–>># The following will extract images from boot.img file located in the hpboot direcory.

–>># Copy and paste each individual line in the Terminal window one by one and wait until each command finish processing.

dumpimage -i boot.img kernel.uImage

dumpimage -i boot.img -p 1 ram

dd if=ram of=ramdisk.img.gz bs=64 skip=1

gunzip ramdisk.img.gz

mkdir ramdisk; cd ramdisk

cpio -i < ../ramdisk.img

–>>#The ramdisk files are uncompress in the hpboot/ramdisk directory

–>>#Open file fstab.tenderloin using (text editor) change mnt_flags of/system ext4 from ro to rw

–>>#Look like this when change from (ro ) read only to ( rw ) read and write.

–>>#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options>

–>>#/dev/store/cm-system /system ext4 rw,errors=panic

–>># Save and close the fstab.tenderloin file

–>># The next 3 steps will repack the files into the ramdisk and merge Kernel to create the finish boot image.

find . | cpio --create --format=’newc’ | gzip > ../ramdiskRW.img

cd ~/hpboot

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0x00000000 -n “TENDERLOIN RW SYSTEM RAMDISK” -d ./ramdiskRW.img ./ramdisk.uImage

mkimage -A arm -T multi -C none -n “Tenderloin RW System” -d kernel.uImage:ramdisk.uImage uImage.Android_RW

–>>#Boot the touchpad into TWRP, connect to PC, copy uImage.Android_RW to the external Micro SDCard.

–>>#Select MOUNT and touch Boot, go back, touch Advanced, File Manager, touch external_sd, select uImage.Android_RW, touch Copy File, touch boot, touch select Current Folder.

–>>#You should have free space on your boot for both images. At the boot screen you will have the option of Android (with no permanet ROOT access) and Android_RW (RW System), you need to install SuperSu. You can use any of the two options or delete uImage.Android and then rename uImage.Android_RW to uImage.Android for one boot option.

You do not need to re flash the ROM, you can add this boot file and use it with your current installed working ROM.

The process works for all boot.img created for the HP Touchpad. If you have a ROM and would like to have system read and write access then you can do this.

Hopefully a Linux Guru will create a script for this, which will automate the process to 3 seconds!

I like tinkering with my TP but I am running [MENTION=3556876]Windows 7[/MENTION] on a 32 bit.. any suggestions?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Android is base on Linux OS.

Install vmware player and run ubuntu as a virtual machine, both are free.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Here's a shell script that automates the process (rename the extension from .txt to .sh). Put the script and boot image file in any directory and type

./rwcreate.sh

If it doesn't execute, it probably needs its permissions changed.. Right click the file you created, select 'properties'. In the properties window, select "Permissions" and check "allow executing as ..." or type

chmod +x rwcreate.sh

in a terminal window
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Thanks for your help and dedicating your time to make it easier for others.

I made suggestion to the script on correcting an error, on DU forum.

Now is just a click to get it done, but if we were in a perfect computer world, it could be even easier as to connect the HP Touchpad to PC using USB.

Then run the script and everything is complete!

Using adb pull command to get (boot.uImage) from hp boot directory, to PC.

Changes are done as per script.

adb push command new boot.uImage to hp boot directory, all done!

But making it easier, will make it more complicated and having to install more software and confusing!
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Done. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The script on this forum is correct, but in the DU the file was wrong, corrected now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ericart:
Hello,

My Note 8 is "out of order" since last month due to an unreadable screen.

Before sending it back to Samsung, I have a mobile app Corel Painter Mobile to back up and restore on my "old" Note 4.

I tried to do the job with Smart Switch (Samsung). But with no success!

Then, I looked around the apps available on the Google PlayStore.

The fact is I did'nt find any app which could do the job WITHOUT rooting the Note 8 as someone told me the root will cancel the warranty.

So, is there anyone who succeeded to do this kind of operation:

backing up an app with all of its data and restored it on another android smartphone?

Many thanks

Regards,

Eric

Hi,

yesterday i dropped my kaiser :( and since then the screen shows everything with a yellowish colour. Also there is a thin white line on the left side of the screen.

These things( line and yellowish colour ) are there ALL THE TIME , even when the phone boots and so on.

I already tried soft- and hardreset and i reflashed the device, no change.

Im guessing its a hardware defect,

has anyone else ever experienced something like that?

What can I do?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
There are a number of threads about people with cracked/broken screens, or screens not visibly broken but not working. Lots of these suggest checking that the internal ribbon cable is correctly seated - which may have become dislodged when you dropped your phone.

Have a look at Mike Channons dismantling guide - it may help.

Yes, have the latest SDK tools

Not actually. I follow some youtube tutorials to do so.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Use the factory image that coincides with your current system, September I would assume. Then follow the directions here.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
After you download the factory image, extract it.

Place the extracted files in your SDK platform-tools folder.

That will include: Bootloader, Radio, the flash-all.bat file, and the large secondary zip you pulled from the factory image.

Right click the flash-all.bat file with your mouse, and remove the -w toward the end of the script, and leave a single space between the remaining words, then save your edit.

This will not wipe your internal data.

Then, put your phone into bootloader mode manually and connect to your pc.

Open a command prompt on your platform-tools folder and type in...fastboot devices...If you see your phone ID displayed, your good.

Now go back to your platform-tools folder and double click the flash-all.bat file to start the installation process.

Let us know how it goes :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
This needs to be said. Read everything you can before doing anything. Read everything about the problems that you might come across. And, most importantly, read about how to fix things if you aren't successful. I knew nothing, apart from what I'd read, and I've managed seven phones and three tablets, plus my brother's phones and tablets. I have never bricked any device, because I read and follow instructions. The great thing is, you can learn a lot from guides and such, because, if you're paying attention, you get a better understanding of what is going on.

He's right...read everything you can before doing anything you don't know how to do or understand. And, just for good measure, ask before, and not after you get yourself into a bad situation

2. Moto Display is whats the signature of motorola. It may have a light but not for notifications.

3. Probably not, but there are 3rd party solutions available on the play store.

4. Yes, basic moto ennhancements. Chop Chop, wrist twist and moto display.

Moto one power's camera is not that that great from the sample pictures I've seen in Youtube or other reviews, especially in low light compared to Asus max pro M1(6GB) or Redmi note 5 pro. Nokia 6.1 plus doesn't take great pics either, from the stock camera app, but with Gcam modded apps found in Xda it took pictures look downright amazing. if we get a Gcam working for Moto one camera, we'll have photos that will be so much better than the ones took from Moto camera. if i'm right i think to get Gcam working, camera2 API should be enabled. it probably won't require root.

[MX Player] MXPlayer:
Hi,

This is not a bug. This is the behavioural change to prevent the crashes caused by the force hardware acceleration on the unsupported devices. Moreover, it is not necessary that the OEMs will implement the decoders for all codecs, profiles supported by the chipset. Many Major OEMs do not implement the 10bit support just to save some royalties. In contrast, some OEMs implement the support silently. But, do not expose them in the media capabilities. So, Most of the time, the chipset secs are useless in this aspect.

As we have mentioned in your another thread, you can still enable the 10bit supports manually if the device doesn't explicitly support the 10bit profiles. If it is reported, it will be automatically enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
FAQ section

Why does this guide only cover the PL1 bootloader? Because that was the bootloader I was on and the only one I have experience with (aside from OF1 after downgrading).

Can I use this guide on the OF1 or OC1 bootloader? You can as far as flashing ROMs. I am not responsible if things go south though.

What is loki doki and the MDK bootloader? The MDK bootloader is an Android Jelly bean 4.2.2 bootloader that had a flaw in it. Loki doki was an exploit for the MDK bootloader that exploited the flaw allowing one to install TWRP and AOSP custom ROMs. If you updated past MDK, the flaw was patched and doesn't work on later firmware versions. There is also no going back to MDK once you have updated and you are now stuck with a completely locked bootloader (which isn't fun).

Can I unlock the bootloader? Not unless you're a Verizon phone tech or Samsung tech with the correct keys.

Can I use this guide to downgrade to a kit kat bootloader? No! You can only downgrade to OF1 or OC1 if you're on PL1. Any other downgrade attempt will result in bricking the device.

Instead of downgrading from PL1 to OF1, can't I just flash the OF1 kernel and go? You might be able to, I haven't tried it. As far as I know OF1 and PL1 are very similar bootloaders. However, by doing this you might break stuff or experience lag, among other things. Do this at your own risk!

I'm already on the OF1 bootloader, should I downgrade to OC1? Not unless you just want to. Most custom TW ROMs will work on the OF1 bootloader, you just have to flash an extra file or 2 for them to work right.

What's the difference between OC1, OF1, and PL1? As far as I know, OC1 was the first lollipop firmware to hit the Verizon S4. OF1 seemed to fix some things/bugs, and PL1 just seems to be an incremental update and isn't much different than OF1. I could be wrong though.

Why didn't you include links in the guide? For 2 reasons. I was on a time budget as I wrote the guide in real time while at work. The other reason is because well, is that allowed? I don't want anyone hurting my guide because I linked to their stuff. If it is allowed then the second reason was because I was lazy instead.

Will you help me if I need it? If I have time and if I CAN then sure, just PM me and I will get back to you. Don't get mad if a PM goes unanswered for days though.

More FAQ coming (maybe)!
