[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
"Camera quality is bad" ??

I'd suggest looking at the many various reviews of this device. Almost all of them rave about the camera and have sample pictures (which are outstanding).

What makes you think the quality is bad?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] e34v8:
The camera of this phone is the one thing that is far better than the price. Must be something wrong with your unit. The quality is good. Very good.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] minnuss:
I'm not satisfied with stock camera also, try this two camera apps.

I'm currently looking a tablet for my college, but I often play Pokemon Go in spare time. Can this device run Pokemon Go fluently?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Interestingly it does let me install it, but about a third of the screen is cut off. It doesn't seem optimised for tablet screen size.

Which I understand. If you're going to roam about with an android device, a tablet isn't it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ddikodroid:
is it because of the screen ratio?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
Yeah you might be able to fix it with screenshift if you root it

In case anyone of u ever needs to flash stock boot.img's to restore things,

The twrp telegram group kindly provided me with those backups, i just sorted them and made them available for download...

Currently I have all patches after 4.88 base so may to october security patch...

You can find all stock images here:

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
Thank you for the img files. Unfortunately i have a problem. When i try to boot the October image with fastboot on A slot where my phone is updated to the october patch - it stucks on android logo. When i switch to B slot which is September patched and use the september img u provided - again the same thing. Any idea?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trissi:
Thats weird... what model do you have? , I thought they work on all Models...

On my device (TA-1012)[Single sim 128gb/6gb], I have exactly the same patches on a and b and both work like a charm with their specific images... Just redownloaded and tested it again...

To narrow down your problem further:

Did you flash anything else? Is your device booting normally when just rebooting? Root? Twrp?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trissi:
If you have another model and some time leftover I would greatly appreciate if you(and everyone else reading this with Another model):

1. could reflash the 4.88 Stock Image

2. Turn off automatic update

3.follow this Upgrade guide over and over again

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-nokia-8-ability-to-t3848390/post77751877

4. Afterwards send me the stock_boot_(randomstuff).gz Magisk generates as Backups in the folder /data or (only viewable with root explorer) AND a screensho of the file creation dates so I know which is which...

I would then upload them and add them to the thread to help others with your model...

No worry's if you don't have time...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
Thanks for the replay! My device is TA-1012 [4/64]. I haven't flashed anything. I neither have TWRP or root. When rebooting it is showing the warning that my bootloader is unlocked (offical method). But i noticed something strange. Maybe you will laugh at me :laugh: but the thing is when i boot the phone and the warning pops up it says to press the power button to continue but that doesn't work. I have to wait to boot itself. In the other hand when i boot the stock images you provided the power button works and when i press it, the warning disappears and the android logo pops up. I dont know if this was helpful in some way but i wanted to mention it. Also i will post the backed up img soon that you wanted up there.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
Ok so i came up with another idea. I forgot to mention that all these steps i did on Linux so i have Windows also and switched to see if the things are the same. When i enter in cmd, adb recognizes the device without problem. When i write adb reboot bootloader everything is fine. BUT when i write fastboot devices when my phone is in download mode , nothing happens. When i try something like fastboot reboot or fastboot boot xyz.img it says <Waiting for device>. I tried adb and fastboot installer but again nothing. I cannot find nokia drivers, but in OST LA there are 3, i installed them and again nothing. So what should i do?

Edit: It worked when i downloaded new version of adb and fastboot CLI but again - booting the oct img even in Windows cmd makes the phone stuck on android logo :(
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trissi:
The Power Button stuff is exactly the same for me... Don't think thats the issue...

Really weird, would love to debug further but really have not much other ideas...

Did you try newest fastboot/adb binaries on windows too?

Do you have access to another pc to try it on?

Switched out cables/ports used?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
I've switched ports, tried another pc even with different OS (win7). Downloaded the newest adb and fastboot binaries from Android Developers site - nothing. Also i ran a test in fastboot and its says:

bootloader unlocked: true

critical unlocked: false. But i dont think critical is necessary, isnt it?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trissi:
If critical was never unlocked it can't have been modified(I think)

Really outta ideas here sorry mate...

Have you tryed booting the prerooted imgs?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
Yep the same thing :eek:

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

I think i should try to flash the stock firmware provided in the forum i think it was the June one. Maybe that will make my device able to flash your images :confused:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr. Slump:
I have similar issues. I have ta-1012 4/64. When it was of september patch, no september image worked (modified or not), it stucks at "android powered" logo. This is the volatile booting which is performed by "fastboot boot" command.

I use a linux desktop. I tried the latest fastboot executable which came with android-studio and also the one on archlinux android-tools package. (they are a bit different) Results are same.

Now it has october patch. No success with october boot images, too :p

I think you should wait for TWRP.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mo4o293:
Yep. We are the black sheeps. Anyway i will definitely wait for TWRP because the other things are risky and thats my daily driver. BTW Im on Manjaro which is based on Arch.

A slightly older post, but while rooting my Nokia 8 I ran into the same issue...

Turns out that HMD managed to mess up "fastboot boot". When you do a "fastboot flash" with the image, it works perfectly.

Hope this helps someone having the same problem.

Anyone?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] czupyt:
1. Unlock bootloader

2. You may try to boot with image, and than root, but for many people it does not work, so you can try to flash. There are stock images available, so you do not have to worry if something goes wrong. On telegram group there is a guy, who noticed that even on October patch, if you flash TWRP instead of booting, TWRP would work. He provied there three images - patched stock october with magisk and TWRP, and two images with modded kernel, also magisk and TWRP included. I may confirm that fladhing these boot images works, and I have TWRP on October patch.

3. Reboot

Any chance someone can upload a system image dump?

I somehow ended up having on system_a Android 8.1.0 security patch September, and on system_b Android 8.1.0 security patch October.

Now I can't update either slot. Updates always fail.

My idea is that if I could flash the same system.img to both system_a and system_b, it just might fix my problem.

Any suggestions welcome.

I managed to get this from the log:

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.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] czupyt:
If you can flash img, I assume you have unlocked bootloader. Rather than such workarounds, I would use OST, downgrade to May, and than using stock recovery update till whatever you want using ADB sideload. I put here in other thread every OTA zip from June till November. You can also try to use adb sideload from your current state. By the way - are you rooted? Or all is stock?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boteeka:
I am on my way to get rooted (Magisk), but I noticed this problem, that my security patch update fails (October->November).

I played once with OST and it didn't go well, so I'd like to stay away from it if possible. I am more comfortable with adb, fastboot, twrp etc.

I wasn't aware that we had OTA zips for Nokia 8 (TA-1004 in my case). I am going to try to find them. If you could point me to the thread where they are, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Device: LeEco Le 2

I was using TWRP 3.0.0 and AOSP Android 7.1 uptil last week.

Last week, I flashed TWRP twrp-3.2.1-0-s2.img and ROM: AOSP Extended : https://xdaforums.com/le-...-v6-0-t3841473

Guide Followed While Flashing TWRP and Magisk: https://www.guidingtech.com/59895/le...-installation/

Problem: Everything was fine until I tried Downloading an apk using chrome and it couldn't find storage/emulated/0 and none of the apps were able to access storage..

So I fired up ADB and $ adb shell gave me a list of folders with no storage folder.

~ # ls boot init.recovery.service.rc selinux_version cache init.recovery.usb.rc sepolicy charger license service_contexts data oem sideload default.prop persist supersu dev proc sys dsp property_contexts system etc recovery tmp file_contexts res twres firmware root ueventd.rc init sbin usbstorage init.rc sdcard init.recovery.hlthchrg.rc seapp_contexts

I realised I had no /storage/emulated/0 folder.

I tried reflashing the rom, it didn't make a difference. I tried flashing a different ROM, no result.

I tried to open the folder sdcard, it says 'sdcard' is not mounted.

I tried mounting it using adb but it didn't work. I tried symlinking storage/emulated/0 to sdcard, no results.

How to I get my sdcard back/mount it?

I tried format data from TWRP. I tried flashing this kernel too: https://xdaforums.com/le-...-v1-0-t3677897

I tried other roms and twrp versions..

The internal sdcard just won't mount.

Any ideas on how to mount it manually using adb or something?

Hello guyz,

Besides sports activities, I like to use the watch when I do city breaks so it might be very helpful for me to put several traces I do several days in a raw throughout the same city on the same map. For example, last weekend I was in Madrid and walked around 20 Kilometers every day. It will be nice to know how much of the center city area i just covered and what I missed. Anyone has any hints on this matter ?

Thank you !

On which device?

One could export (gpx/tcx format) all the tracks and show it on PC using other software. Should also work with phone and 3rd party app like TwoNav or Locus but export is mandatory.
[Amazfit] ToneTavi:
On the phone or laptop of course. The question is can you still download gpx/tcx tracks from the cloud ?
[Amazfit] nhedgehog:
Export does not work from the cloud but from the database either on the device or on the phone (Amazfit app). For your question to be answered it would be helpful to specify which cloud you are talking about. My own solution consists of 2 steps:

1) Export tracks in tcx format from the device.

2) Show exported tracks with other software (as mentioned before) on Android phone or windows PC.

No cloud is involved in those steps.
