[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Matty1993:
Have you held the power and volume down button both together for exactly 1 minute,

I have a u11 that took for ever to reboot with corrupt os youll notice the capacative buttons start flash if its doing something or going to reset after about 30 seconds if not and nothin happens

Take the backing off and unplug the battery,

To do this heat the backing up with a hair dryer and get some really fine guitar picks, work your way arround slowly, in my case the U11 was not glass backed only plastic and was original backing ive heard they are glass now though so be careful,

Now with the backing off and exposed, take all of the 5 or 6 screws out from the plastic ariel cover with NFC chip attached (chip is gold bend it up off battery it is not glued down)

Then from the left of the device at the bottom of the plastic cover with ncf chip on it you should see a slight gap where the vibration motor is located and sits

Get a rounded pair of tweezer and insert just the tip into the opening and very carefully pry it up, it make take a while as some of the adhesive from the backing will be holding it down,

After that is off you have now exposed the devices PCB,

From the battery youll see the connector making its way to the PCB port disconnect it and reconnect it now try to boot directly to download mode with

Power

Volume down

Both at the same time, if this did not work the disconnect the battery again and wait 24hrs for the static electricity to disperse and try again, had this work on a completely frozen unresponisve evo 10 and u11 + and also my U11

Still no luck id say the emmc on the board has gone haywire either that or possibly one of the thermal transistors has blown in which youll see either black and burnt or white and powdery,

Im a phone tech you shouldnt have any problems doing all this just take your time,

Good luck mate
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shasen1235:
I've tried holding volume down and power buttons both for around 5 mins, no capacitive button blinking.

However I can tell the phone reboots several times during the procedure by seeing the backlight goes black and light up.

And about the reconnect battery route, I guess I'll just do it anyway, since the repairing price might be the same as buying a new one.

Thanks for the reply, mate!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Matty1993:
Sounds like the logic board is trying to initialize but there isnt sufficient power to boot it,

its kinda like when you take the battery out of a phone then plug it on to charge without a battery and there is nothing but a lit up black screen and nothing else happens as theres not enough power to boot, this sounds the same to me as there are no red or green light after the orange when plugged in,

Get a hair dryer and heat the back of the phone up a few times and then plug it into charge to see if you cant boost the cells back to life, do this a few times,

If no change id most certainly suggest removing your back cover and unplugging and replugging the battery, once unplugged leave it for a few minutes, then plug back this will refresh the chips (especially emmc as this contains your entire system and bootloader, including download mode, RUU mode)

as soon as battery is reconnected plug it in on charge and try to boot it to download mode straight away also look for any change in the batteries light colour and any blinking,

the orange light when first plugged in is normal but should blink once or twice only then change to a solid red for discharged and charging or solid green green when near on 100% charged

If the above does not work disconnect the battery for 24 hours and try again, this will fully drain any static electricity in the device that may be lingering,

If still nothing after the 24 hours buy an OEM battery from ebay and install yourself, once you have the back cover off youll see the battery takes up 3/4 of the phones actual internal size,

Same as the back cover get your hair dryer place a shamwow or thick cloth over the PCB board then heat the battery up (NOT TO MUCH THOUGH only so its hot to the touch), then with the really thin guitar picks again (they should be bendable easily and flexible) work your way around the battery to cut through the adhesive securing it down,

CAUTION be very very careful the adhesive is strong keep the battery heated at all times to avoid pericing the battery and or damaaging the lcd as this is what its secured to, just take your time and work slowly do not force it out, once all the adhesive is cut it will remove easily by using the guitar pick insert between battery and housing and gently turn the pick from left to right and will pop out, (you will see the battery move when using pick from left to right if not you havent cut the adhesive properly work around the battery once again until you get movement from it)

Sorry for the long reply haha but dont send it to htc they are absolute rubbish :) hope this helps ive tried to be as detailed as i can its actually alot harder trying to explain it than it actually is to do it :D
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sonVNCb:
hello buddy thanks for this help, i have the same problem as the OP, i followed your instruction now i have an orange LED light up but no change, i dont know if i can access download mode or not cause my screen still black. tried htc_fastboot flash recovery but it done with FAILED not allowed on PRODUCTION device.

what should i do now, please help me, and sorry for my bad english. Thanks a lots

Hi,

imate Ultimate devices ROMs are locked. Since I threw out the box (with the unlock code) a long time ago, I am looking to cook a 6.1 ROM for my device.

I would be thankful for any beginner pointers ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattarse:
Search the site for ROM Kitchens, but I've never cooked and am not sure of the various kitchens are specific to a particular device. There are many guides available thru this link:

HSPL?

I've been cooking for my blackstone for a few months now, but I'd be real keen to cook my own software for my Ultimate 8502 as well. Have thrown out the box too, so no unlock code, which also means I don't think we'll get very far.

But would we also need Hard SPL?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Chippelchen:
I'm curious because I've read that a lot of people don't like the camera. Why is that? I'm not sure if I should buy that phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Why you make a new topic about this because its been talked about and some hate it but many love it. But why focus on words when you can judge for your self when you go to places like flickr and see how each phone takes them photo's
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
The point and shoot is second to none.

The pro and night modes are both second to none..

Telephoto lens is superb

Only thing is say ia better is HDR on the pixel.

Besides that the p20 Pro stands alone. Even against late 2018 phones.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] FOXTEiN:
Unbeatable point & shoot camera performance. Never seen a camera fair that well on phone before.

Pixel 3 camera is very good but not as refined or versatile as the Huawei system.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Magnus3D:
If you don't know how to tame it, you will not like it. But if you can tame it and know the capabilities and limitations of the sensor, you will love it!

I'm having a blast with it, because i know how it works inside out and now i can push it to it's limits. :)

/ Magnus
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] coolhead:
I love it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Chippelchen:
The thing I don't like is that I often get blurry images if I point and shoot
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Ereniemis:
Hello,

For "HDR" effect, yu can use "night mode" in the day time. Otherwise I love the camera... competely... Have been using this phone on daily bases for 3 months and I'm astonished.

Here are some pictures - point and shoot

You got your hands on Pixel 3 already? Weird I thought they're not supposed to deliver until sometime later.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Svetz:
Not at all, There is a entire thread showing the amazing photos this phone can deliver, this phone camera is versatile, it has the best nightmode out there, the best zoom, and the main 40mp sensor can capture a lot of detail, Last night i manage to take a photo of a lighting (https://i.imgur.com/32TxPqG.jpg).

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Yea, i love the P20 pro camera and night mode is freaking awesome! Only negative things i can think off is no stabilization on 4k video and the selfie cam could be a bit better but besides these 2 i think this camera is pretty much the best you can get right now for a cheap price.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] schreda:
for me it doesn't matter what i read or what other peoples say.

The camera of this phone is insane. Especially the night mode. Never saw something like this. Night shots looks brighter than with the human eye?

The only thing i don't like is the post processing of the camera app (oversharpening)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] skrki:
P20 Pro camera is neither bad, nor cheap, but both of those are highly subjective opinions. And you know what they say about opinions....

I am enjoying mine very much. View attachment 4620800View attachment 4620801View attachment 4620804View attachment 4620805
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Hirusho:
The front/selfie camera is what most people are complaining about, esp. the color saturation. It gives a plasticy color to human skin.

The main camera is superb.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] achour7:
The camera is really bad on this phone.

Pictures are so over processed and lake dynamic range.

In 10mpx it's inusable and in 40mpx il't noisy. Video recording is also bad.

This phone is just horrible. My olds S8+ and Xiaomi Mi9t are much better except for zooming and low light. S9+ destroys completely the p20 pro.

I really regret my purchase.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
I cannot second that. The only thing i can complain about is video recording.

Main shooter is more than capable to take great pics. It's incomparably better than op 7t.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] XDARoni:
The camera quality on this phone is really good. Anyone who says it's crap is objectively wrong.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Luis2k33-XDA:
The camera quality in the p20 pro still today better than many flagship, more than one year later, I compare the camera with the recents iPhone 11 pro max, pixel 4, mate 30 pro, samsung note 10, and it's nothing to envy of them, the kirin 970 is slower in games, but is smooth and very fast still
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] maahmd:
what is the best siting of camera ? in 10 m pixel or 40m pixel ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Luis2k33-XDA:
Depend on the situation, with good daylight 40, 10 if you don't want big pictures files, for zoom, night and difficult light conditions better 10, normally I use 10, because Huawei optimized the software and the cams to work together in this setup, working main, telephoto and monochrome camera sensor together for improvement results

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

​

Features

Click for feature list (helps shorten the OP.)

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

Kernel :- https://github.com/Anush02198/android_kernel_cyanogen_msm8974-2

DOWNLOAD ROM

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your ENTER-PHONE-NAME, or coming from another ROM: <--THESE MAY NEED UPDATING FOR YOUR PARTICULAR DEVICE; BE THOROUGH IN INSTRUCTIONS-->

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip <--& vendor img, if applicable--> to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

8) Flash gapps

9) Boot up

Known Issues

--> Charging LED

-->Camera sometimes requires reboot

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk 17.1 (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running the included kernel

- have installed any mods such as Xposed!

- have modified system files

NEW OTA AVAILABLE

==============

crDroid v5.5 - Jun 13, 2019

==============

*Optimized Kernel Performance

*Increased Sound Slightly

*Increased depth in Sound

*Source Changes
[Zuk Z1 Original Android Development] CLrix:
This failure was encountered when I replaced the battery earlier this year. Unable to charge, only 50% of the power is turned on, and the power cord is unplugged and shut down immediately.

This is because the battery and motherboard connections are loose, so the device does not recognize the battery correctly.

The solution is simple. You need to open the back cover, use a screwdriver to remove the antenna bracket plate located above the phone, and then find the connection between the battery and the motherboard. Press firmly on the top of the interface until you feel the interface is stuck.

If you can't fix it after many attempts, you can consider the motherboard interface is damaged or the battery is faulty.

I hope I can help you, please don't mind if I am using machine translation.:)

Hello!

So i want to root my NB1 but from what i read these couple of days, TWRP is incompatible with September and October security patch. I know that May and June are so my question is:

When on my slot A is the October patch and on my slot B is the September one how can i downgrade the B slot to May??? It would be really helpful if somebody explain that. I've tried to BOOT ( not flash) May prerooted img but the phone is stuck on powered by android logo.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] ValKyre:
U say twrp working in september security. So change ur phone to slot B.

Go to download mode. And use command

Fasboot reboot booloader (for enter download mode again)

Fastboot boot twrp

If it not boot to twro this mean twrp not comfortable with september.

If u want downgrade use ost tool 6.0.4 or ntool
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] czupyt:
To downgrade, here's a description:

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-8/development/nokia-8-official-firmware-links-updated-t3678487

You will flash then Oreo SW with may security patch where TWRP works fine.

Use this workaround for flashing Oreo software with OST 6.0.4

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/workaround-flashing-oreo-firmware-t3793791

Other possibility would be to change slot assuming that the other one is on August security patch

Last but not least is to use patched boot img, the description is also on XDA forum in Nokia 8 section
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Mo4o293:
Thank you i'll try that.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] smallerxie:
Any feedback?

I met exactly the same situation like the yours. Slot A on September and Slot B on October SP.

I cannot root it with any method in the forum on both the two slots. ( TWRP/ pre-rooted boot)

To downgrade, both the OST LA 6.12 /6.04 cannot downgrade my nokia TA-1052 with Sep/Oct SP.

My slot A is with October patch and B is with September. Also i dont want to try OST LA because this phone is my daily driver and i already have my old rooted phone. If you want to root your phone we need to wait for TWRP update. Really hope the maintainer update it soon to work with Sep and Oct patches.

I have unlocked bootloader but locked critical partition which i cant unlock cause theres no OS to boot into and check the OEM option. Are there any alternatives before opening the phone for EDL?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Adairo:
if you can at least boot on fastboot and it's working, you can enter on edl mode from fastboot, there is a command to do it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xunixbeatsx:
Yeah already tried that but adb wont work

"no devices / emulators found". I think my computer cant see this devices mode, i also cant mount it when i use Clockwork.

I can use fastboot commands just fine though
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
You should try flashing the ROM normally. Just use the included script
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Daniesz:
ADB commands works only booted phone with USB dev mode.

Fastboot commands with fastboot mode. :) So you cant use ADB commands when your phone not booted up.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xunixbeatsx:
You dont have to boot phone to use ADB, you can adb sideload inside Clockwork (i sideloaded no-verity just fine).

By the way i managed to fix my phone by extracting the firmware and fastboot flash files one by one (2 files couldnt be installed cause they needed critical partition unlocked but it seems they werent anything critical cause phone works fine).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Adairo:
Enter to fastboot Is all you need to get into edl mode and attemp to flash stock rom
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xunixbeatsx:
I tried that and was no response from the phone.

I also tried edl from ADB, phone restarted but no edl mode.
