Hi guys

Is it possible install last Global Beta 8.10.11 (Pie) from Stable Global 10.0.2.0 (Oreo 8.1) with locked bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] hosmsdos:
My advise, stay on stable. Currently all MIUI ROM sucks and buggy. Literally Only difference you will notice in Pie is more bugs and issues.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] magnum2323:
I use the 8.10.11 after using the 10.02 stable. The Camera Quality is better and Android Auto works fine now.

Flashing the beta is only possible via Fastboot.

I didnt noticed a lot of Bugs in the daily usage.

Thanks for your reply. You are 100% right. After some research I realized that it is NOT possible to flash the Developer ROM with a locked bootloader. I even tried older Developer ROM's which were still based on Android 8.1 because the newer versions were based on Android 9.0. A few days ago, the Pocophone and the Mi A2 allowed me to switch from Stable to Developer and back, without any problems, simply by flashing the .zip via the stock Updater app.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
MODEDIT by [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION]

It is not possible, you need to unlock the bootloader AND install custom recovery. Xiaomi phones aren't always the easiest to return to stock should you actually decide to do it and then decide to return to stock.

The official stable release is rumored to arrive in November, possibly even December, so it might be a good idea to wait a little longer.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] marieto:
Thank you! I think I'll wait for the new stable version.

Hi everyone,

Thx about this forum and developers (pen and joaomgcd). :highfive:

I use this app for many years :eek: . But ...

I have some questions about tasker and firebase.

I wanna send data to firebase from tasker.

I all ready looking up about something, but I found nothing. :crying:

Someone can help? :confused:

Thanks lot.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I have to admit, I know nothing about the firebase API. And honestly, I don't have time to become familiar. What ever specifics you can offer would help me try to help you.

A quick scan of documentation makes me think that there is a requirement to include a package name as part of the submission? I'm wondering if you'll have to use app factory and test using a kid app.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] abdess47:
I want to send data to firebase by any method witch Tasker can do.

I'm looking for send data by action "post http".

To access firebase database, I need to allow the user by authorization process.

I don't want to use appFactory.

Can you use an AutoTools json read/write action?

Hi, any solution here?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] anshumanpati6:
Now that we have an official bootloader unlock method and the device can be rooted and everything, it shouldn't take long for the devs to get some custom ROMs working for the Nokia 8. The userbase is nowhere small and I think this phone could really use some community support since it's quite unlikely to be getting Pie.

Here's hoping we get community support just like OnePlus devices. :) Cheers.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ironman38102:
I think the fact that the bootloader unlock came so late is why we don't have development. Besides if you really want custom ROMs then why don't you make one? Would help us all
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ValKyre:
yay... i already want have custom rom too.

i try learn build rom.. but... nothing can make this happen :))

I try buld kernel and i see nokia release v484 source kerel... when we use 488 ?

we dont have a deconfig for nokia 8 ?

and ...dont have somthing to can build, no device tree, no thing..... :((

maybe this a dead phone.

.

and source kernel of nokia 8 does it only we can compile by tool or we need full source from gg to compile sir ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hermanlee:
I really like my Nokia8 but I am waiting for LineageOS to come, unfortunately I don't have experience with ROMs. Is there any way I can contribute, or is there like an indication when we can expect it to come?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
Expect it not to come then you'll be pleasantly surprised if it ever does.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] revanmj:
I also think that because bootloader unlock came so late, ROM developers already moved on to other devices and there won't be many ROMs if any.

If we had Treble, at least GSIs could be used, but since we don't and trying to unofficially get it would require skilled developer, I wouldn't get my hopes for custom ROM.

Basically unlockable bootloader gives us only easy rooting and ability to some flash mods via TWRP at this point.
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] dhillonxs:
Just found out that the bottom left sensor on the fron of the Elephone S8 is a soft LED. Activated during selfies with stock camera app version 1.1.40030 and clicking the orange bulb icon in the app.

As I haven't done a clean install I'm not sure which ROM (Aerom or Eragon) the stock camera app came from.

Is there any hope to get this working as a notification LED?
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] workingman1:
This is really a discovery!

I find it amazing that to this day this device still brings surprises.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
Hi,

After performing OTA update to Android 9 Pie WiFi started to experience serios problems.

It connects to Wi-Fi routers like before, but keep constantly loosing connection. The indication in the status bar is like normal. However all apps requiring internet stop working.

In Twitter app, you can browse the tweets but when you want to update the screen you have 'Unable to get tweets at this time'

In Gmail app, you can browse emails in a folder but when you switch to other folder you will have 'Connection error, retry'

In eBay app, you may go into Bids area of the app and see your bids, but when you switch to a lot the app locks.

WiFi calling is not working.

This problem was reported many times this summer, when Pie was available for beta download (Reddit and Google dev forums have a long list of reports). It was suggested that:

-disable\enable WiFi trick can work this out. (It cannot with XZ2c)

-disable IPv6 in router as the Pie tries to establish IPv6 connection (It is not a solution when you are not an admin of a router, but I checked on 3 networks and diffrent models by disabling IPv6- no use).

-disable WiFi discovery in WiFi settings (it does not work).

-reset network setting (I did lost all my saved networks, but it did not help).

I contacted Sony Support and the only suggestions is that OTA update did not go well, so they want me to make update again via Xperia Companion. Meaning hours of backup and loosing information and settings of dozens of apps.

According to the reports (you can google "WiFi issues after Android Pie update") making factory reset is not a solution. I will try to restore the updated Android 9 via Xperia Companion.

But this is the serious issue equal to bricking a phone that quite new yet. (((((((
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
seems I am experiencing this as well sometimes after PIE update... sh!t..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
I made clean install via Xperia Companion and it did not help. Sony wants me to bring it to the service.

Is there a way to roll back to Android 8.1?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] real_marsman:
Yes, install flashtool and download a firmware that is still on Oreo (check version number). I used the SG one (4G icon and NFC persistent icon). After flashing it, you most likely end up in a bootloop. Fix this with Experia Companion. Don't wait to long though; once Pie is available for all regions, you can't use Companion to fix the bootloop AND stay on Oreo. You will be stuck with Pie. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
Sound near impossible. When can I get the latest Oreo for ZX2c? Can you guide me to flashtool thread, so that I could read how to do it?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] real_marsman:
It's not too difficult. All you need to know is at flashtool.net
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
Installed previous firmware, all problems gone!! Even the speed is faster than on Android Pie

Now I need to find out how to hide Sony's 'New software available' from the notifications.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
if you find out please share... did it appear even disabling the auto-update in settings?

and you had to factory reset to revert succesfully to Oreo I think? can you list the steps you followed? I may be interested in reverting to oreo as well until pie will be more stable...tia!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
1) I donwloaded and installed flashtool

2) I dowloaded and installed the driver https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/

3) I find the previous firmware for my region, the latest is 51.1.A.11.51 . It is one big 2.2 Gb *.ftf file, I put it into C:\Users\**yourname*\.flashTool\firmwares on my Win7 pc

4) Run the flashtool and pressed the flash button

5) when prompted I switched off the phone, pressed volume down button and then inserted the USB into phone and pc

6) Waited 7-8 minutes untill the flashing is finished.

Disconnected the phone, pressed power and in 10 minutes I have this cool device up and running like it should!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
thanks I already downloaded the .11.51 firmware also, but I don't have the ftf, I have all files extracted... probably because I selected to unpack it automatically.. but I thought I still could find the ftf somewhere... will download it again without the unpacking this time and see.

this way it cleared all your data right? and wiped internal sd also maybe? or all your data was still there after the downgrade? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
SD card remained untouched. But flashin wiped all personal data from the phone
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
thanks for the info, fastory reset is not a big problem for me, I think I am downgrading also soon! don't like pies... :laugh: redownloading ftf now and flashtool (which is taking ages to complete download... so slow!)

edit: even without unpacking I don't have the ftf but three separated files, will google to see how to create the ftf from the firmware files!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
nvm
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
downgrade successful, great to see Oreo running again! quick settings icons in pie are just horrible..

no update notification here yet, but probably just because the ftf i chose (customized ce1) has no pie update available yet...!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
Glad to hear that you succeded! Congrats!

I have read some advice that AdGuard app can block Sony Software Updates, but it required installation of crapware (unnecessary browsers) so I will look into other possibilities to block it. This exercise with Pie update made me spend long hours backing up and restoring, so I will need more time.

Offtopic: I have blocked updates on Win 10, Mozilla and now it is time for my Android phone. What is this world coming to...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
I'm using adguard to block ads in browser.. maybe if we disable the Sony sw update app via adb will do the trick? i did this to disable some system apps that were not possible to disable from settings (SwiftKey keyboard etc)

i don't mind about future updates so will try tomorrow if i have time and see what happens!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
disabled all update relevant apps from the phone via adb shell.. I hope this will prevent the ota update to show up, will see when the PIE update for CE1 will be released! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::o:o
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] mxvtt:
Can you guide me how you do it exactly? (Explain me like I am 5, please )
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
you must install minimal adb for windows and send the adb command, I did it on win10 and it worked fine. also disabled headsup notifications this way, hate them! :p

when you have minimal adb installed, connect the phone via usb (when it is on and debug mode enabled in advanced settings) open a command prompt from the folder where you have adb.exe and run:

adb devices

... to check if your phone is seen. if so, run the following commands to disable sony update apps:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.updatecenter

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.mtp.extension.fotaupdate

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.mtp.extension.update

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.updatecenter.config.latecmz

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.updatecenter.config.autoinstall

doing like this now when I go to settings > sw update I have now the stock android update app opening, not the sony app anymore, so hope the sony updates won't be seen anymore!

if you have already the notification always shown you can try the above and see if after rebooting the phone, it disappears or not..

let me know!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agomesp:
So, I struggle with porn addiction.

Tried some methods to block but got hid of all: Used netAngel, just booted in secure mode and used porn. Most of all is doing that. I can put netAngel in system apps and then after rebooting in secure mode it'll be there, but netAngel is blocking me from creating other account with this same device because it's already connected to other account that I don't remember neither the email or password.

I have seen some that edit the hosts files, but is easy to re-edit that.

Is there a way that I can block completely? I have my phone rooted. It's a Motorola G2.

I'm thinking in blocking with the hosts method and somehow putting a password that I can't remember in the file. It's possible to put a password to a file? How can I do that?

hello,

i want some information about my new honor 9 lite i have purchase.

i'm in France and i have buy my phone on internet (french website) but i think the website don't sell me a european version of my phone.

because my phone take the 4G LTE only on some place when the antenna support one frequency (1800 MHz i think), but on the other place (majority) my phone is only in 3G.

my operator sell this phone (expansive than internet) and is specified 4G and it take most of frequencies. i have search on forum and i see with some phone to unlock frequencies specialy by region.

i know this phone don't have all the frequencies used in France but only one is cheap.

i have a build number LLD-L21 8.0.0.127 (C185)

someone can tell me if it really a european version or another ?

and also tell me witch firmware flashing to change my phone in EU if it don't an EU ?

thanks
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
C432 is Euopean.

AFAIK C185 is Middle East.

Phone would need to be "debranded" or region changed, plenty of info on XDA how to do this, just search and read.

DO NOT just try and flash C432 version as it will generally end with a soft bricked phone.
