[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
Been running twrp 3.2.1-r1 for a while now with resurrection remix on my Perry. Today it fraged itself, so I decided to try the new 3.2.3 twrp. After booting it, it seemed to flash without issue. Upon reboot, it wouldn't load. I flashed the 3.2.1 twrp I tried flashing the ROM, but the data partition wouldn't take it. I discovered that the partition size was 0. I fixed the partition size, and flashed the ROM. Everything seems to be fine, except booting. The phone defaults to twrp instead of booting the ROM. I have to reboot to boot loader, the click start to get the ROM to load. Not critical, but VERY annoying. Any help resolving this is appreciated. Thanks

Tried the fastboot OEM fb_mode_clear command, which flashes, but no change. Tried the adb wipe /misc partition, which returns invalid file.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
TW RP is not clearing the BCB correctly. The boot loader control block. I'll post the commands you need to fix it in a minute when I pull over. Driving right now

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

This version of TWRP is not reading and clearing the bootloader control block (BCB). So, if you do a factory reset via Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Data Reset, you'll be stuck in a TWRP bootloop.

The quick workaround is to reboot to bootloader, then proceed from there to Start. However, you'll need to do this *every* time until the BCB is cleared.

To clear the BCB manually, issue this command in TWRP terminal:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
Got it by CD to the dir misc is located then executing the following: dd if=/dev/zero of=misc

Could use some help flashing the latest twerp, but since no ROMs need the added 64 bit support, I don't see it as necessary yet.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
The old twrp has the same issue. Just go ahead and Flash the new one. It's just a problem that May come up when you format or if you do a factory reset
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
Tried flashing the new twrp from within the old one. I get a kernel error when trying to load after successful flash.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Are you flashing it to the recovery partition? Try flashing it with Flashify. but it should work if you choose select install image in TWRP and select the recovery partition.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
Yes.. Phone boots fine. Only issue is with recovery. New twrp flashed either in twrp or fastboot generates kernel error. After flashing old twrp, recovery works fine
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Which version of the E4 do you have?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
XT1765 by metro
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
I've seen other people with the Metro version and the T-Mobile one which have the same model number and it works fine for them. Don't know exactly why it's not working for you I sse you resized some partitions and had trouble clearing the BCB. So you may have done some other things that I don't know about. All I can say is that if the previous version was working you should stick with that one.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] HigherStateD:
I tried to flash the 3.2.3 after my system went into a boot loop for an unknown reason. I was able to eventually clear the BCB with a modified command in the twrp terminal. Is there a way of checking the size of the recovery partition? I'm thinking the added 4~MB of the 3.2.3 twrp might be causing an issue. Perhaps overrunning the size of the partition. Can't think of any other reason it wouldn't work.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
I flashed it on mine no problem. the recovery partition is bigger than it needs to be. Don't go messing around changing partition sizes or you're asking for trouble.

Hi! Tks for you suport.

I have 2 questions if you can help me. I´m a noob for this phone, but i used to update mu Xperia with Remix and i unsdestand a little bit of installing costum firmware.

1- Do we need after this to install again stock boot.img? Because i read in were and MIUI forum that patch boot.img will not give OTA updates.

But installing stock will not remove Camera2api also?

2- I Have V9.6.13.0.ODIMIFE ( second september update) i try to seach for patch boot.img for A2 in were, but i only find the full stock image

in https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849

I read what you said about teaching to fishing rather give a fish, but if for this thime you could put the link, in future updates we all will be more confortable do do other updates.

Kind regards
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Ki, this is a great example of where one needs to look carefully at the command, and do some research. If you look closely the code says "boot" patched_boot. The point there is that it doesn't say "flash". Booting it won't flash it. That command will read it from your hard drive into rom memory of the device, and NOT write it to the flash memory of the device. I.E. The boot.img on the device will not change, so no reason to flash it again.

Bring up all the topics in the MiA2 Guide(s) forum. At the top right is "Search This Forum". So... obviously... type in; patched_boot.

The first thread, OTA Jasmine (etc) has many posts with links to specific versions of (magisk) patched_boot images. (hint; search that thread also if you don't want to page through the posts!) - and don't forget to thank (use thank button!) cpkv5 for his efforts of extracting the boot.img and patching it for everyone, and making it available for easy download!

THANKS MATE, I REACHED TO FINAL STAGE & BOOTED IN TO THE PATCHED IMAGE BUT

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Yes I saw that Abbey, just updated the original post. At this point pls use the TWRP method I mentioned in similar thread. That works for sure.

I thought the Magisk patched boot image would have the same abilities (in this sense) as twrp, but it seems it does not. Will update if I find a solution.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Abbey Bhatt:
hey mate after rebooting, magisk appeared in app drawer, did i flashed patched boot image. by using this code? please advise
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ki69:
Yes, i didn´t read carefully, but my question has because i read that we need magisk after put patche boot.img, then enable, then remove magisk then flash stock boot.img

I read that you update the firt post informing of the need of that.

Sorry, i only find this one:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77295065&postcount=22

that have magisk, but with that like i said before i will mess with system/root, the thing i did´t want. so for me is not the path i want to take. I prefer the patch you give in:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-enable-cam2api-root-t3848058

And because is a diferente path i think that that thread should be reopen by mods.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
It shouldn't have flashed it, should have just booted it. I just uninstalled the magisk in app drawer myself. It looks as though a part of the magisk patched boot image installs that 'stub' part of magisk, to then allow a full install I'm sure. So that seems to happen whether you flash it or boot it.

Humble request,

If you don't know about device or appropriate procedure don't post irrelevant things. As I know this device is tricky and more chances for hard brick if something goes wrong.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
out and out flagrant request, if you can't follow directions, don't even try what is suggested.

There's no way anything I indicated would brick a phone. I've done it. Mine is not bricked. As indicated the setprop commands won't work with patched boot image. Then all you have to do is exactly what the procedure says and it's back to normal.

You're the reason people don't bother to post guides.

I do know about device and relevant procedure, it's not irrelevant. Your inability is what's irrelevant.

There are some very subtle differences if you look closely, The front camera and sensors are a little farther apart and the side bezels are a bit thicker along with of course the really cool lockscreen wallpaper.

I'll personally be awake to watch the stream and I hope you all will too! I can't wait to see what upgrade razer have done to an already brilliant device

Update2: [Link](https://www.twitch.tv/razer) to the stream

There's also a discord server if you want to join it when the event is live.

What are you looking for in the upgrade? Personally a brighter screen and better vibration motor will do it for me.

Definitely excited for this phone, but... Any idea why it doesn't have its own section in the forums yet? The ASUS ROG Phone got one as soon as it was announced back in June (and still isn't out yet, for the most part), while this phone has been announced and is on sale (for pre-orders). It should definitely have its own forum by now.

Hello Everyone

I've been searching for some information regarding galaxy s7 edge at&t but i cannot find specific info related upgrading this phone from nougat 7.0 to oreo 8.0 ? My phone is unlocked so i'm using different carrier but i believe bootloader of the phone is still locked so i cannot flash custom recovery or custom roms. My intention is flashing official oreo 8.0. What is the official oreo for this model ? Actually there are some that i found on the forum but i'm a bit confused which one it is. Is it possible to flash official oreo 8.0 without unlocking bootloader via odin ( people say you cannot unlock bootloader of U.S. versions ) ? If it is possible how can i flash it ? will be appreciated for any suggestions .

Thank you

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] hungrymr2:
Hi,

I'm sick of the boot warning messages that pops up whenver i boot my phone. How do I restore stock bootloader?

Some of the things I tried and failed are:

Factory reset

fastboot flash system system.img (I can only get this to work if I leave bootloader unlocked)

fastboot oem lock (unlock code) This also work but I will not be able to boot back into system, it would boot into eRecovery instead.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Only way would be reinstalling stock using HuRUpdater, NoCheck or dload. After you have done that you can relock from fastboot.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] L3onX:
In this way relock from fast boot will lock bootloader?

Inviato dal mio BLA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
It will Re-lock bootloader. It will say Relocked in fastboot but the warning will go away.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
But make sure you are completely stock before doing it as it will fail to boot if any of your partitions are modified (If you have TWRP for example it will fall back to sec_recovery, but not for the other partitions)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
hi guys,

i have two chargers,

1. output 9.0V 1.67A or 5.0V 2.0A

2. output 5.2V 2.4A

and a usb-c cable, in the cable box i find that this cable is supporting for fast charging and support to 2.4A but when i tried it with the two chargers, and test it using 'ampere' app i got max to 1010mA with both chargers adapter ! even with this value i feel it charging my mobile quickly, and in the bottom of the lock screen i see 'charging rapidly' but i want more and why the phone is not charged depending on the values in the chargers (1.67A - 2.0A - 2.4A) and cable (2.4A)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The P2XL charger is 9V, 2A or 5V, 3A. Your amperage values are too low, which may explain why you're not charging as quickly as you should be. The solution: get a charger that equals or exceeds the stock charger ratings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
You realize slow charging is better for the long-term life of the battery, right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stuff:
Considering we often get new phones every 2-3 years, you won't see much of a degradation from rapid/fast charging.

Rather, you'll see a degradation from charging from <15% to 100% (which people do often). That will be a more significant reason someones battery will lose much off its lifespan.

I wish Android would have a built in limiter. I'm sure in the next few years, both iOS and Android will.

please help
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tbkrazeey:
After seeing this I checked accubattery and it also says mine normally charges between 700 - 1010 mah also. I didn't even think about fast charging, I don't have the original charger but I have other "fast chargers" that don't seem to be doing their job either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There's nothing I can help you guys with. All I can tell you is what ratings your charger should have, based upon the information printed on the pair of chargers I received with my device when I purchased it directly from Google. If you have a genuine Google charger and the P2XL is still not charging fast, contact Google.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
Unfortunately, i hope someone could help
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pemz82:
I thought that charging capped out at roughly 1000 mA when the screen is on to protect the battery from overheating/putting too much strain on it. Which could lead to degradation of the battery. That would explain why you only see 1010 mA on Ampere - because the screen is on. I don't think Ampere measures while the screen is off, so it is difficult to say what value it would be giving you.

That is my experience even using the stock charger that came with the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
maybe your opinion is right. my next experiment is from 0% to 100% with the old charger and with the stock charger, then i will see if there is a difference
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nlinecomputers:
There is one other thing that you must also have. The Pixel does NOT support Qualcomm Fast Charging. It uses Power Delivery, not Quickcharge Technology. So if you have a charger that is labeled QuickCharge or a Moto Turbo Charger you will NOT get fast charging from these units. It has to be a Power Delivery charger with a USB C port and the cable must be USB-IF certified. If you don't have all of that then you don't get a fast charge.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tbkrazeey:
That makes sense then, it seems like everything gets more complicated every year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nlinecomputers:
I just purchased one of these from Amazon. Note that it supports Power Delivery 3.0. This unit quick charges my phone. The Moto Charger I have for my old Moto G5+ which is a Qualcomm charger will charge the phone but only at slow speeds.

The power supply is already off doing something else...just wondering if it's worth it to try and root this one. If I could make it an Android TV box and have it all work in spite of the blacklisting, I'd be all over that.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA_h3n:
Yea if it's running the older firmware try the older rooting methods and then using twrp flash a pre-rooted image. Does it contain the new ui on the set-up page with new icons or the old blocky square design? If it's with the new icons, then it will be running a newer firmware.

Then run a debloat script which would remove everything Amazon wise and install an 3rd party launcher such as Appstarter with adb.

I am stuck with a Fire TV which is on the newer system which cannot be rooted. I have tried many different known CVE lollipop exploits but these fail so I'll guess I will just wait for some newer exploits as I can't be asked to hardware root this by cloning another emmc dump with an older version. I am also stuck with Fire HD8 which is a similar position for rooting where only hardware eMMC rooting is possible. This Amazon ecosystem is not developer friendly, but they never were anyway.

I believe this blacklisting must be a new feature from 5.6.3.2! Don't remember seeing this on older firmware versions.
