Then try flash matching boot.img after that update again.

? Bootloader isn't needed I update every month with open bootloader
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Topogigi:
+1 The same happens to me (stock boot flashed in slot b - september and a -august). No way to update.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] webvan:
Did you guys ever figure it out ? I'm having the exact same problem when trying to flash the November update from Stock Recovery (I tried that because normal OTA errors out). Thanks !
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Gemmik:
Hi [MENTION=9488494]7cherubin[/MENTION] would you send me the post to root TA-1012?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] boteeka:
I have the same problem. TA-1004, trying to apply November security update.

After getting the "Installation problem" error message in the update UI, which is not very verbose, I checked the log with adb logcat. The following is what I have found:

update_engine: [1114/144758:INFO:delta_performer.cc(368)] Applying 8158 operations to partition "system"
update_engine: [1114/144758:ERROR:delta_performer.cc(1065)] The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.

The phone's bootloader was unlocked using the official method.

TWRP has been installed, then removed (by flashing the stock boot image to both slots A and B).

The update seems to fail with or without TWRP.

Also, Magisk has been installed, then removed. Same result: update fails with or without Magisk.

Judging by the error message from the log, the problem is somehow related to the system partition and not the boot partition (where the boot image resides, and which would be affected by TWRP and/or Magisk).

The Nokia 8 doesn't seem to have a separate recovery partition, the recovery image is stored also on the boot partition (proof for this being that if you flash stock boot image, you get back the stock recovery).

Temporarily booting an image with fastboot boot <img> also doesn't work on this phone (at least if you are already on 8.1.0 with October security patch), so installing TWRP is only possible by flashing it to one of the boot slots and forcing the phone to boot from that particular slot.

Neither OST 6.0.4 nor OST 6.1.2 is able to flash the phone.

Sorry if this got too long, I am trying to stick in this post all the info that I have learned in the hopes that someone will have an idea how to fix this.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] webvan:
I had the same problem and had to go back to stock. I had only rooted and flashed the boot images, no TWRP. I had messed up at one point though and flashed both slots and that's where I think the problem lies. The boot images seem to be personalized to the device (keys ?) and the OTA checks for that so if you flash one with a prerooted image, then apply Magisk to the other one and ugrade on that one (after temporarily deactivating Magisk) then you're ok. After going back to stock I was able to verify this "theory", well at least it let me do the OTA multiple times.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Gemmik:
Can someone post the link yo root TA-1012 ^_^
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] webvan:
Mine is a TA-1052.

By "go back to stock" I meant fully reflashing the Oreo update with OTLA because like you nothing I tried with the boot images helped. Since I was rooted I did a backup with Titanium so it wasn't too painful.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Majd7667:
I managed to update to 5.15d by sideloading using adb the full ROM (5.15) then sideloading 5.15a and 5.15b, I didn't sideload 5.15c I directly sideloaded 5.15d OTA update and it worked!
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] smallerxie:
I have the same problem.

Slot A : stock boot with sp 2019-04 (5150)

Slot B (active): stock boot with sp 2019-05 (515A)

I tried to sideload OTA (515B with sp 2019-06) on slot B, while the "Error applying update: 20 (ErrorCode::kDownloadStateInitializationError)" message appeared.

By checking the log report, it was just after the operations to partition "system" that I had the line "the hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value."

Anyone has ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Is there any utility or reg tweak around to enable GPRS/3g Internet data autodisconnect on this device?

On my Kaiser i used to use the kaiser tweak but on this one i'm kinda of lost. I searched the forum and there are some info around but i got a bit lost so i decided i might as well ask, i dont want to screw the device and have to hard reset!!

thank you!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] SilverbackPrime:
So my daughter has a Sprint-version PH1, and dropped it in some water. We turned it off right away and did all the normal drying/dehydrating things for several days before turning it back on.

The phone appears to function just fine: charges, display fully lit up with no dead spot, can receive push notifications, texts and calls, but the touch screen is completely unresponsive, rendering the phone useless unless it can be fixed.

No cell phone repair shop in my area (Austin, TX) will touch the thing, so I'm stuck trying to figure this out on my own so I don't have to shell out $200 for the warranty replacement through Sprint on a 3-month-old phone.

Will buying a new display like the "Essential PH-1 LCD Display HYYT LCD Display and Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Replacement Assembly for Essential PH-1 (Black)" from Amazon and installing it solve my problem? I'm no electrical engineer, but I do pretty delicate work for my hobbies (miniature wargaming) so I think I have the manual skill to accomplish a screen replacement.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
I guess the only way to know for sure would be to try. But I'd try opening it up first & drying some more (I wouldn't use a hair dryer as moving air can generate static & bright damage a component if you are unlucky, also should take ESD precautions :eek:) before buying the the actual screen.

There are at least two tear down videos, watch both to see if you think you could do it, don't use the freeze method on screen, judging by result!!! (shattered)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
How did this work out for you? I've had to replace my screen because I dropped it and cracked it. For a couple of days I used the phone normally until the replacement from HYYT came, when 8 removed the damaged screen and tried the new one, the screen works normally except it doesn't register any touches at all. It works with a USB C mouse and keyboard, but no touch. I've tried reinstalling the stock image but it still doesn't work. I'm sending the screen back.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] SilverbackPrime:
I haven't actually been able to do the swap yet. Finances have made it difficult to afford the new screen, and I need to replace the battery in my Nexus 6p as well, but I'll update this thread once I actually get to change out the screen. Should happen by the end of the year
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] SilverbackPrime:
Got the new screen in, behaved exactly like the original screen: display came up fine, but the new screen still did not register touches
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
That's really disappointing, I wonder what the heck is going on with these screens? I may just give up on it. You should return the screen.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] SilverbackPrime:
Based on some things I read on Reddit, this might not be a screen issue at all.

There was a post I found talking about screen responsiveness turning off after a software update right around the time the phone got dropped in water.

I'm wondering if it might actually be a software issue all this time, not hardware...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
You know, I thought the same thing, right around the time I dropped mine there was an update people were saying causes problems with touch. I can't say, I 2as able to unlock the bootloader and installed TWRP, installed a couple of different ROMS including the stock one from October, and November, and also Lineage. I didn't have any luck. If you find any information on what the software 8ssue might be I'd love to hear it. :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
When I first got my previously used, Sprint variant PH-1, I went round and round with touch issues. Ultimately the solution was to sideload an OTA from Essential's developer site. Fastboot flashing various releases just wasn't doing it for me.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
Which version did you end up using, do you remember?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
If you're asking me [emoji6], I think it was the PPR1.180610.091 OTA. That's what I still have on my laptop, and I remember I chose it because it was listed on Essential as a Sprint version. Since then, every update I've done is just with a generic OTA flashing it through recovery (as a "normal" zip) and things have been fine.

"find somebody that you think is undeserving of your compassion and give it to them" - Christian Picciolini
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
Yes I was asking you thanks. Are you flashing through TWRP or stock recovery? I've got TWRP, I don't know if I should use a sprint version in Canada, would that cause any problems do you think?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
It helps if you mention or quote the person you are responding to. That way a notification gets sent.

I'm on T-Mobile and initially I had no trouble. I did however immediately upgrade to the then current release, also by sideloading the OTA.

I don't think it matters which recovery. The OTA will replace the boot.img which restores the stock recovery. You would have to flash the TWRP installer before rebooting to patch the boot.img with TWRP.

If it were me, I would just install an image and see if the device boots properly before messing with TWRP and root. It's easy enough to fastboot flash a all-in-one boot.img to get those back.

If you were on Pie before the problems began, you need to user A Pie release. The bootloader was upgraded between Oreo and Pie.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] amarfresh:
ditto

i just received my second replacement screen and also not registering touches.

guy at phone repair shop says he sees lots of bad digitizers...not uncommon. esp on parts for these less-than-mainstream phones.

but the likelihood of 2 failures seems high to me.

do these components have their own firmware?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
I was thinking the same thing, although I have spoken briefly with one of the guys who did a YouTube tutorial on the replacement of the screen and he didn't say any mention of special firmware. I've tried different roms as I was able to get the device bootloader unlocked and rooted with a usb-c keyboard and mouse, but still failed to register touches. It's a hassel to keep ordering them and returning them. Both screens I've tried were from HYYT. I don't know if they just have had a bad batch, I don't know.

This is going to sound lame, but even after unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP on a dozen phones I have no experience flashing an all in one boot image through fastboot.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
Determine what your active boot slot is.

While the device is booted, use ADB:

adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

Or from fastboot:

fastboot getvar current-slot

Then fastboot flash the boot img to the active slot (example assumes active slot is A - use boot_b for the B slot):

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

Make sure to substitute the actual name of the boot.img you're using, or rename it to boot.img. The boot.img should be in the same directory as fastboot executable so fastboot can find it.

If your unsure why you have to figure out which slot to flash to; Read the docs Mata overview

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Try it first before you knock it. You'll realize why. None of these phones are 16:9, so you'll never achieve this without stretching.

Tq opasha but everything looks taller/thinner at stretching to fullscreen w/ mx player.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
I know, just need to get used to it. It works well if quality is good, but definitely better on mi max 3.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] sautom:
Actually, modern cinema films r mostly shot @ 21:9 whereas tv shows r 16:9. So d newer phones r more suitable for watching cinema films. However, i used MX Player's custom zoom feature to reduce the horizontal black bars and crop a bit on its sides. Its better than 'stretching' (looks way too weird).

Nevertheless i like 16:9 ratio screens better because i often browse + read on internet on landscape mode. I dont like mobile websites, too limited in options/features
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
Mi Max 2 is 16:9 (1080 x 1920)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Hmm, I must have got it confused with a different device. Mi Max 2 is wider, you're right.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
The bars appearing for the OP on the Mi Max 2 must be related to the type of file he is playing because the Mi Max 2 should play the Full HD in full screen.

From what I understand the V20 does not support MQA - I spent a lot of time reading the entire V20 thread over at Head-Fi over the past week and while it's mentioned a few times, there appears to be an issue with the V20 and proper true MQA decoding potential. I found a thread at the UAPP forum where the developer specifically told a user that even in spite of the checkbox being available under the HiRes driver flags it should not be checked on the V20 simply because it doesn't work on that device, there's no hardware support for unfolding the MQA data stream.

The V30 has this capability, but the V20 doesn't. The audio will be passed to the DAC of course but it's not true MQA unfolding.

Yep that's the one. I've gotten invalid battery eventually with every after market battery. If I buy 3 spares it will happen to at least one. The warranties are usually good for a year. And I always ask for a replacement and generally they send one if I show them a screenshot of the invalid battery notice. So far so no issues. it seems to be working better after the Oreo update because of the new background management.

- 71-72mm max. width

- Good camera

- Bonus: DT2W and GCam Mods without rooting

It has all of it, in addition to an awesome display and build quality, and just fits perfect in one hand.
