Hi

i want to install a stock rom (Chineese/English ) i have read the post of (rendroid15) but i think that it 's not clear and i 'm afraid if i brick my phone,

please any one can help me what should i do step by step.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
Liars everywhere

You can't possible brick your phone while flashing.It's a myth.And only Nexus devices are known to do so.Chinese devices are tangible and won't do anything to oppose PC's authority.So,Follow the tutorial.I have been flashing firmwares modifying ROMs building kernels for 5 years and only a Nexus 5 was Permanently "Bricked" which was later solved.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andi-onex:
yeah, but the tutoriel is not clear , i can't find the first step to do , should i unlock bootloader or intall twrp or....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podge3:
It is possible to brick your Z5 if you don't know how to recover IMEI, persist etc. It happened to me and many others on here. I was able to recover my phone thanks to the help of others and the various threads.

The Z5 is much easier to brick than many others I have played with e.g. Oneplus etc. I think the main problem is there is no proper recover software. Qfil doesn't seem to flash everything, it certainly doesn't flash the persist partition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
Never Used a Chinese Device so I don't have a lot of experience with them.But all of my Other devices went well with flashing.I was flashing at least 8-9 Times per day while testing my nethunteros ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andi-onex:
Please please Podge , help me please you have experience with this phone so please give me steps to install the stock rom , my phone is new , when i turn it on it show me a message( the bootloader is unlocked and software integrety cannot be guaranteed....)

i should install twrp and flash the PixelExperienceP-arm64-ab.img with Fastboot ?

Hi

Is there any way to have 2 SIM cards in our UNI´s?

Gracias
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] yuyuaaron:
been wondering of that too. just bought a second hand uni to tried out
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AndyChecker:
I had one for my universal last year and it worked well.

It involved trimming your sim card a bit but it comes with a template to use.

I got mine form ebay and think it was called something like Ghost Dual SIM?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ed_bracam:
I see this:

http://www.simore.ch/

I think that it is serious product (you can ask the company for special test)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jolas:
I have this and I use up to 5 different numbers with no problem:

http://www.duosim.com/supersim.html
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beginner:
I have bad expertise with simore. My device is Athena

what about duosim? web says you can have connected same time 2 phone numbers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jolas:
No, I can't have connected same time 2 phone numbers!

But alternative (having one number each time), I have the opportunity to have up to 16 different numbers (and networks), in the same SIM card.

I change from one to another number, through STK service, menu.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beginner:
Thanks a lot. What products did you purchase? I understood in the web that you have to move some data using your pc from original sims into the sim they provide you.

I don't want to use a cut sim...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jolas:
I bought the 'Supersim 16in1 SIM', which comes with a blank sim card that can hold up to 16 numbers, it has the programmer which can read the original SIM and then copy to the supersim card, and the nessesary software.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beginner:
do you need to reset your device in order to activate other line?

does it support HSDPA?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jolas:
No need to reset.

Just activate STK menu and choose desired line.

It supports UMTS (I don't know if it is the same or not as HSDPA)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wizzmaster:
Guys...i have checke Duosim and im impressed...

....but what if one of the local networks is 3G and the other is not?

please guys....any idea...:confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kasim050:
For that you have to have Duo-X2 (Cut sim) to use. This supports both GSM and 3G. I have ordered which is on its way. The supplier mentioned that both SIMs will be active with autoswitch function.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sunny_thehunk86:
auto lock

i ve got a prob with ghost dual sim,

after using it, n still being inside my uni, sometime the device is auto locked with a password which i never have set.

only way to pass beyond this password is to reset the device.

any idea how to get rid of this ****.

Hi, i've installed the last update of Lineage OS (8.1), but the camera app is too bad. I tried with some porting of Google Camera etc, but most of them crash for different reasons and I did't find a good solution.

Is there a camera app, or a zip mod that I can install by recovery, to get a better shot (or at least, like the stock app of the Samsung Experience)?

Works great for me. Make sure the gcam is set to Nexus 6 Hdr+ auto ( settings-> advanced-> config camera hdr+).

For video recording you will have to select camcorder.h265 in developer settings (settings -> developer settings)

Can't seem to find one that will open

Hi

I yesterday installed lineage 15.1 on my s7 Edge.. What a fantastic rom. It feels so much faster and smoother to me than stock oreo.

I have installed it with no gapps and have rooted . I wanted to use Google camera as a replacement but every one I have tried force closes immediately (must have tried 20 or more based on recommendations here, in reddit and elsewhere).

Any suggestions on how to get this working? What puzzles me is that others seem to have it working. Maybe because I haven't flashed gapps?

Thanks in advance

Whatsapp and Instagram camera issue - bad quality

Semi OT: is there a fix for the bad processing and quality of the Whatsapp and Instagram (specially with the Stories) camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] BarryPooter:
With android oreo you need to have the "google service framework" apk installed for google apps. You can install the attached app or you can search for it on apkmirror. After installation you can freeze the app with titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] dhio.sc:
I think not, as of for now, but the dev had already found the problem and made some improvement, but still in progress, hopefully in the next LOS update there will be good news for camera.

-update-

The update for LOS is done already, you might wanna try do dirty flash over existing build. and update here for the result (i can't update right now).

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
I am running VIPER4ANDROID on my Xiaomi Mi Max 3, and whilst it sounds great, even at maximum volume the sound output is far too low.

Previously on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there were some simple values that needed increasing such as gain-media-headset. This was found in the mixer_paths using any root explorer.

With regards to Xiaomi, which values need changing to increase audio output via headphones? I do not wish to adjust the wrong values and get any issues or boot loop.

Thanks to anyone who is able to help.

Hi there,

I picked up my Mi Max 3 yesterday and I was very frustrated when I realized it has the quietest DAC I've ever encountered on a phone, especially since none of the reviews mentioned that and everybody was raving about it having a 3.5 port. I am not a fan of rooting nor have I ever rooted a phone successfully. I will root the phone if I absolutely have to cause right now it's simply not usable for me with this level of volume. However, I also wanted to know if everybody has this issue and my DAC is not simply faulty.

Make sure you have unlocked the bootloader AND unlocked critical partitions, then flash the latest factory image found on essentials support page. DO NOT flash TWRP or anything like that.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dumberthandumb:
How do I unlock critical partitions? Also I have already flashed TWRP. If I try to push the factory image without TWRP it tells me not enough space.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nstirton:
I suspect you need to change the slot that's loading... I had a similar thing recently. .. Try going into fastboot and typing "fastboot --set-active=slot" where slot is "a" or "b", depending on where you flashed TWRP (you need to load the opposite slot).

If that doesn't work, flash the original boot file in fastboot and keep everything crossed...!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dumberthandumb:
My slot b has been fleshed with TWRP and a with the original os. I still can’t get it to boot. Is there anyways that I can just flash everything back to factory setting? I don’t care about personal data. I even tried flashing both slots with the os and still no luck

Just do the fastboot flashall from the Essential download page and start over. I flashed the october update the other day and my phone has been running so much better since then.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dumberthandumb:
Flash all? How do I get to that? I have tried doing a side load through TWRP but nothing helped
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] galakanokis:
Instructions are on the Essential website where you can grab the downloads. Basically download the fastboot image, unzip it and run the flashall script inside the unzip. Easier if your fastboot path is setup properly. It will flash stock to both slots and away you go.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nick80835:
You NEED to unlock critical partitions to flash all of them.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fry98654:
So I flashed a firmware update from this post, since I wasn't able to go back to stock after flashing a custom rom. "Fastboot flashing and firmware". I flashed the firmware zip via fastboot, then I ran the RUU.exe and it said the installation was completed. However, upon the first boot, my devices get stuck into the " HTC powered by Android" screen and stays there for a long time and nothing happens. I have left it for hours to see if it finally boots up but nothing happens.

My devices model is 2SP6500 US unlocked version.

It is worth mentioning that my device was originally tmobile version but after a few tweaks I convert it to the us unlock version. At first, everything worked perfect. But when I was running the US unlocked version I decided to try a custom ROM . But then I decided to go back to stock so I re-flashed the RUU.exe and that's where the problem begun. For some f#$ing reason i cant got back to stock

It is also worth mentioning that I'm able to use Resurrection Remix and LineageOS, everything boots up and all, but for some fu#ing reason, I can't go back to stock.

Now I have a very expensive paperweight.:crying::crying:

[General Questions and Answers] morgonhed:
Hi,

I have a Moto G6 play that I intend to root one day and as this process will delete everything I need to do a backup first.

So I am currently experimenting to make backups with adb.

Now running "adb backup -all -shared" results in a backup file of only 83 MB which seems to me quite small but then what do I know...

So could someone please let me know if this looks ok or alternatively if there is a better way to backup a phone to a PC.

What I ultimately want is a way to backup my phone, root it and restore the backup resulting in a state where my phone is just the way it is now only rooted...

Many thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] morgonhed:
Sorry I did not pay attention as the backup-process was still ongoing.

So the resulting file is a LOT bigger than the 83 MB I was reporting above.

Still - is this the way to do it?
