Can someone please upload? I'd really appreciate it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] magnumtripod:
I'm not even kidding. Everything was perfect and I had absolutely no problems until they sent out that update. Now I can watch my battery percentage dropping by the second and my phone will shut off around 30%.

Once again, I had no problems until the August update. I never even rooted this phone, so the last thing I want to do is to figure that out to downgrade to the last version. I will if I have to though
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] post-mortem:
If your phone spontaneously shuts down with the battery at 30%, then I see 2 possibilities:

It's overheating, or

The battery has reached end-of-life

Use an app to determine the remaining capacity of your battery (usually displayed in mAh). The results of such apps should be taken with a grain of salt, but if it says your battery is only at 60 or 70% of original capacity, then it's definitely not normal.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] BenjyTec:
You could try to go to recovery, wipe cache and reboot. Or, if possible, wait for the next security update and see if it gets fixed if you have a spare phone to use. These are the only two opportunities without messing around or loosing data.

A downgrade always needs a full data wipe AFAIK. If you aren't afraid of data loss, you could try a full factory reset and see if the battery drain is gone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheOrigRalph:
I noticed the same on my Pixel - i don't use it a great deal and was seeing 6 days before it'd drop to 30 to 35% battery level, now i'm seeing 2.5 to 3 days - my usage has not changed

I really don't think it's battery nearing end of life - the phone & battery are just now hitting the 2 yr mark
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] magnumtripod:
I don't think it's end of life either. Like I said, everything was great until the update. My GF got the same phone around the same time and I told her not to update. So she's still running the last version and her phone is still perfect.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mruno:
Is the battery life still abysmal when running in safe mode? if so, it may be a rogue 3rd party app.

my battery life was crap with the kernel and android system after i updated to August as well. I assumed it was a Magisk update or module that was the issue. Once I moved to Android Pie my battery life has returned.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheOrigRalph:
I haven't tried safe mode - my battery was surprising decent under Android 8. the day it updated to Android 9 it went south in a handbasket. And i noticed "battery saver" selection is no longer available

i'm trying to read up and re-learn installing a custom rom, and which rom to choose - i last did a custom rom in 2010 and haven't been near the forums since then, but this issue and the more i learn about google's surveillance collection, i want to go custom
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] post-mortem:
Since you're willing to install a custom ROM, why not try to reinstall the full stock ROM first?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TheOrigRalph:
appreciate the suggestion - that's what i originally wanted to do and posted here a few weeks back asking how to revert to android 8 and was told it couldn't be done but i could do a custom rom

and now, with the privacy issues i've been reading about, i think i'd prefer to limit my services as googles' "product". It kind of alarmed me how sensitive the phone's microphone was - i actually wrapped the phone in a heavy towel and left it 5 feet away, and said "OK google" in a normal voice - and bam, it was opened when i unwrapped the phone. There's no reason for the microphone to be that sensitive, imho

but i'm an old fart, and the younger generations don't seem to relish their privacy like i do - that's fine for them, no judgment on my part, i just like my privacy
[Verizon LG G4] gadget1999:
My VS986 was on latest MM build and I unlocked it using SALT UsU two months. The unlock was successful, then I installed TWRP and Magisk Root, and performed backup after verifying everything working.

Today I restored from backup using TWRP (selected default settings, which is everything). The restore completed successfully. But after the restore, the phone will stuck at the red Verizon boot screen and blue LED light blinks.

Is this so-called 'soft-brick'? How to fix the issue? (I can still enter recovery mode and the backup is the only thing I have. I can accept flash to factory build too but in my impression after UsU Unlock factory image can no longer be flashed?)

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon LG G4] gadget1999:
Some update: the issue is solved now. Just post the details here in case it could help someone else.

After I just selected system and data partitions and restore, the phone was able to boot fine. However, a new issue came up: the phone doesn't recognize my PIN to unlock.

Then I booted into TWRP and used File Manager to delete the following files under /data/system

gatekeeper.password.key

gatekeeper.pattern.key

locksettings.db-wal

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db

After that, reboot the phone, it worked without issue.

if you found something then please update here too
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzysiek546:
This phone don't have mods because this have MTK processor.

If you want root You can do it via magisk.

Just download stock rom (you MUST have same rom version in your phone) from htcdev.com. Unlock bootoader. Extract from stock rom boot.img. Patch it in magisk app and flash it through adb. I didn't tried this before but I've got this phone and I will do this same way i wrote. I did same thing with other htc with mtk processor and it works.

I try sensor update *#2663# but not open sensorhupfwupdate

Please have is any know tell me :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
...which rom wasn't supposed to be posted publicly but some moron did so. :sigh:

so post your problems here - or if they are in the more serious category then read below. they'll get fixed sometime.

note that by default we need time for more important things than fixing devices that got screwed up with the prerelease crap.

still you can get help here if we get the time.

anyway, there are two main types of "bricks"

- device with interrupted flashing attempts to AP4, then reflashed AP3, AP4 flashed finally, which has resulted in dead wlan (wifi won't turn on). in this case, if you can, please post your old MAC too (sometimes found on the inside of the battery door), if you can't, then post the MAC of another wlan device nearby, a slightly changed version of that will be flashed back to your athena. because the wlan unbricking file has to be unique for everyone, get on IRC or PM me or Olipro to get it fixed, and hope we have enough time soon - you can negotiate with Olipro to allocate some of his time to you. (though after releasing the *final* AP4 we probably will have more time anyway.)

- interrupted flash, with invalid model ID after trying to flash another rom (AP3 or anything) on it. this is the worst type of brick (wlan is corrupt too, of course). again, get on IRC or PM me or Olipro to get it fixed, and hope we have enough time soon - you can negotiate with Olipro to allocate some of his time to you. (though after releasing the *final* AP4 we probably will have more time anyway.)

- and one last type that isn't really a brick: interrupted flash, device won't boot to OS, but you are able to reflash AP3 (and wifi and all works ok). ---> so, if your device has just got to black screen after unsuccessful flash with prerelease AP4, and you're not sure what to do: flash AP3 back and see if everything is fine. in this case please wait for final AP4 after you got AP3 back on it.

AND ONE REQUEST: if you got such a "brick", let me know if you were using a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Confucious:
Mac 00092DF5F847 - I didn't realise it was on the inside of the battery door! Had to take the kids out yesterday which is why I disappeared from IRC.

Mine is the first type - Got AP4 but no WiFi - I don't want to take you away from the real work so reply when / if it suits you.

Thanks again for all your help.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:

Agreed. Everyone should have known it wasn't an official release...especially if they downloaded and used 3.0. They know how our ROMs are released and to install something that's leaked is done at your own risk and dime.

I had this kind of a problem. Maybe nice to know that my phone also went in a boot loop when I went back to AP3.0. That's why I use the second pre released of AP4.0 from IRC.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Confucious:
And like Olipro said - they have now decided we are not worth it - so I have no problem 'hijacking' this thread. They have 'closed' it from there point of view so, unless you were as stupid as me, why are you posting in this thread?

Have you not learnt by now to take Oli's rantings with a pinch of salt?

And she might even mellow Oli a little.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Confucious:
Yes - and she already has, haven't you noticed?

Oli has a problem with anyone who isn't as intelligent as him (which is most people) but cmonex is - and she's nice as well. That seems to have confused the F*ck out of him. Together they make a great team - but they owe me slightly less than nothing!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Confucious:
And I owe them somewhat more than that as they have just fixed my phone - doing something that no-one else can is a great feeling ( I had it when I was young but you soon grow old!)

If you can help other people you do find that what goes round comes round.

Oli is a genius but had an attitude problem - I think cmonex is doing him the world of good.

cmonex is a genius and is really nice with it.

You can see her influence on him! Oli - she's done you good.

so, what time are you in london... depending on that, we'll move our trip day to Thursday
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
i know about that - AP3 just needs the new nk.exe, without it it hard resets on every reboot (and running customizations does a reboot of course)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] raskell:
If Oli and cmonex get swamped with requests, perhaps I can help some of you with invalid ModelID's. I was to be a legitimate tester and I ended up stuck there for several weeks, but finally made it back to AP3.0 now on to testing AP4.0, (For those of you who got bricked inappropriately, perhaps you could sit on the sidelines for two or three weeks, sweating your loss.)

Cmonex and Oli were of great help to me with this over that time, we just struggled with it a bit too much until it got solved. Now that we know what fixed mine, we will see if others respond to the same fix.

Symptoms: Unlocker did not properly update to the new (required) SPL or you did not have the new SPL and tried flashing AP4.0 -it failed around 91%. You are now stuck in bootloader and can't flash anything due to the Invalid ModelID error message.

I will only help you try to get back to AP3.0 and your WiFi will likely be messed up. Once we get you back to a bootable OS, your ModelID will still be funky, but from there cmonex and/or Oli can get that recovered for you. I would offer to help with this too, but it was not something I solved. I only solved getting the AP3.0 ROM to reflash with the funky ModelID.

OK to send me a PM and we'll arrange a time to look at your specifics. I'm only offering this to take some of the load of cmonex and Oli as they have more important things to finish for the rest of the community.

Regards,

Raskell
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
@ raskell - thanks for the help :)

@ everyone: if you find your GPS stopped working too, then flash this NBH to revive it (attached).

i.e. just use the normal RUU, put the NBH in the RUU folder, make sure you don't have *ANY* other NBH files in the folder then flash it.

to get my device back to life

i can get to bootloader and i see SPL 1.20

but on the pc isee massage: INVALID MODEL ID

i cant go back to AP3 or even to HTC rom

its a week since its stuck

thank you all
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
They should be back shortly. They had some things outside of cyberlife to tend to. I'm sure they will finish what they started.

To everyone else,,,,remember we advise not to flash the pre-release yet because this might happen.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
we were away from the computer for a while, sorry.

you can now message Olipro or me on MSN.

by the way your model ID has been fixed, the problem is now something else. for some reason your device will not boot any OS fully.

best so far was when it was able to boot to half of the desktop (then freeze), yes?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
AP3 for new SPL

also, here is AP3 version I made that will work properly if you upgraded to new SPL but want to go back to AP3 from the AP4 beta.

download:

http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip

NOTE: this will only work if you ran the AP4 package (prerelease, final (when it comes out) etc.) and your SPL now is version 3.xx.OliNex (check in bootloader/tricolour screen).

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] raskell:
@cmonex,

This is from banyas post. He seems overly excitable about his Athena being bricked. He's posting everywhere.

I'm not sure his Model ID is fixed. He may be missing part based on what he sent me earlier. Some is there but not all and it may have other stuff added on. I'm trying to get him to reply back to my earlier pm so I can assess where he really is. Let me know if you have any updates from him as well.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cmonex:
his model ID is fixed because he is able to flash roms without editing the modelid in NBH header.

you can bet that that "ath100" is a typo ... and did you specifically ask him to write IPL version or the "Olipro" string?

problem is, he's unable to hard reset, DOC format fails.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] raskell:
Yes, I have been asking those who are bricked and need help to start communication by writing down everything they see on their bootloader screen - basically to see if they have the ModelID problem or not.

Hiya fellas.

This is a sister project to the custom kernel I compiled for the original Moto G, for AOSP/Lineage/et cetera.

But my Moto G died months ago, and I, also months ago, got my hands into a Moto G5s, for which I compiled this kernel. I believe it's the only stock ROM-compatible custom kernel built for this device so far.

This will only work with Oreo. But if there's enough interest, I have some (older) Nougat-compatible builds ready.
