[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] frozensquid:
Hello,

I have a big problem with my samsung S8+. Indeed, i installed TWRP 3.2.3-2-dream2lte with Odin 3.12.3, it was OK. I decide to wipe data and flash zip "no-verity-opt-encrypt-3.1".

No i must to do the first steps of the installation of Android 8. I have the september 2018 patch.

First problem, i'm stuck with "Checking for updates"..

I try the cmd in TWRP Console 'echo "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" >> /system/build.prop' with System Mount but nothing...

I try to disable wifi but nothing..

When i remove the Sim Card and disable the WIFI, the step "checking for updates" is fast and i can do the nexts steps !!

Second problem, at the end of the setup of Android, I have a message which say that i must to connect a google account of the owner of the phone (ME) and the system put me on the "Checking for updates" screen... I read that it's a protection for factory reset..

So it's a loop, i must succeed the "checking for updates" but if i bypass the step, it asks to me to connect to a Google account (which is done in the "checking for updates"step...

I tried to restore data with samsung account but i have the same message.. I have a probleme because Samsung Europ don't guarantee my phone because it's an Asian model so "after sales service".

Can you helep me please? you're my last hope. Thank you.

Best regards,

Florian
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bmxmike:
You could try doing the FRP reset for the s8+ and see if it removes the FRP lock then you would bypass the sign in to the google account and could just hit skip, there is usually a skip option on the bottom left if there was no Google account logged in previously.

Also, copy your build.prop to your computer and look to see if you have ro.setupwizard as OPTIONAL and DISABLED, because your adding DISABLED to the EOL but in my build.prop it's already set to OPTIONAL don't know if that could create a conflict but mine always bypasses the setup when I changed optional to disabled

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ProjectAlly:
Poweramp all the way! - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xsoftstudio.musicplayer.pro

Been using it for years and never disappointed, especially with the new GUI changes they've rolled out.

Close 2nd for me would be : Player Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro

Another neat one, but kinda cluttered is N7 Player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer

Hope you find what works for you. Everyone tends to lean toward the cloud services, I still like loading my own music on my phone as well :)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Poweramp is the best. Been using it forever, tried all the others and nothing compared.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :
I have tried a bunch of players and have settled on Neutron (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncode.mp). Yes, the UI is not the best but sound quality beats any other player. However, with heavy audio processing, there will be a corresponding increase in power consumption.

I use it to play music over Google Home, Bose sound link, Bose Headphones and car speakers and get very good depth and range.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Travisdroidx2:
+1 with Poweramp.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] t4duzan:
I've used PowerAmp for years but it recently went with an entire UI overhaul, plus when I bought my P2XL last month and transferred my mp3s over, the PowerAmp app finds duplicates of them all and has one bad copy and one good copy. My file explorer only finds the one copy. Gonna try some others that have been suggested as I am not a fan of Google Music.

Edit: just installed BlackPlayer Music Player. Very nice. It's like PowerAmp was before the UI change.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Jordan~Kurniawan:
i thought when you say intact you updated without first flashing the stock boot.img
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] fizze17:
How could you follow the guide? For me it doesn't work. Magisk says "Stock backup does not exist"

Did you place a file manuelly? If yes where exactly?

The only way let magisk creating is a backup by flashing it with twrp, but i want to wait for official twrp first

update - i resolved my problem:

1. i flashed with fastboot the stock boot image of current running version 9.6.6 to the inactive slot, in my case "slot b" by cmd line:

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

2. i did run magisk - install to inactive slot -> magisk did backup stock image of inactive slot

3. after reboot i was able to use "uninstall - restore stock image" to do the ota update (like described in the guide)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] BubuXP:
No, because TWRP in A/B devices (like A2 Lite) is located in the boot image too. So doing the second step of your procedure will cancel the TWRP installed in the first step.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TogoFire:
Ok. Thank you. I understood now how it works.

I did it that way. I had no problems.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] lucas0:
Hi,

I have unlocked a developer options by clicking 7 times firmware compilation number. Than a go to developer option to check what can I change in my phone. When I was scrolling down I've notice that some of options were ON. Than I decide to change nothing. When I press slider at the top to set OFF and hide developer options some of option before set as ON goes OFF. My question is: if by clicking OFF at the top of developer options all setting back to default? If yes. why some of that was set ON when I unlocked developer options at first?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Well some options are on by default, like the automatic update... the default would be on, regardless for developers options turned on or off. Once in developer mode, some developers would like to freeze these updates while working/developing for the phone, hence you have the option now to turn it off in developer mode. Same for the wifi data option thing.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] lucas0:
How to bring them back to default? Or maybe some of you can post screenshots with default developer options like it was fabric. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Just turn developer options off.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4rz0:
If you turn off developer options, the menu vanishes as well.

This will also reset the settings.

You can bring it back the usual way, which will turn it on again.

My wife uses her T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) to sync with her computer at at work. She also uses a proxy method to access the internet (on the go). Her job uses proxy settings and when she connects, it overwrites the proxy settings that she uses to access the internet when she's not connected to the computer. So basically, we have to put the proxy and modem settings in everytime she disconnects from active stink. Didn't have this problem until her job changed buildings and internet settings.

Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? I've tried adding a second set of proxy settings with the same info having both the work proxy and the T-Mobile proxy. But what ever settings the phone is on, the work proxy will overwrite them with it's own. My wife uses her MDA to sync with her computer at at work. Her job uses proxy settings and when she connects, it overwrites the proxy settings that she uses to access the internet when she's not connected to the computer. So basically, we have to put the proxy and modem settings in everytime she disconnects from active stink. Didn't have this problem until her job changed buildings and internet settings.

Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is not checked. Checked that, and it still overwrites the settings. Very frustrating!:mad: How do you manage multiple proxy settings?

[Huawei Nova 3 Questions & Answers] DimaCSR:
Can anyone share stock build.prop for the Huawei Nova 3?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] sapphous:
As I understand it, I don't need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash different official firmware versions to my phone. I'm leaving the bootloader locked until I really have a need to unlock it, because of the long-shot hope for a root exploit that will let me preserve my TA partition. As part of that, I really don't want to be stuck on a recent firmware version with all the old security holes patched. Therefore I want to get ahold of my current firmware or earlier before I flash anything. Somebody stop me here if I've misunderstood and anything I've said so far is impossible.

I have the dual-sim variant, G8342, running firmware 47.1.A.2.324.

Question 1: Is there a source somewhere of archived XZ1 firmware versions that includes 47.1.A.324 or earlier? I have searched the forum and google, but most xperia firmware backup sites have little or no files for the XZ1, and the couple of sources I've found are ancient with broken links. The post on these forums with stock firmware downloads only includes much newer versions.

Question 2: Is there a way I can extract a copy of my current firmware from my phone, without unlocking the bootloader? I find tutorials that work for "any xperia", but they're all quite old and talk about Sony PC Companion instead of Xperia Companion, and they all involve clicking "Your software is up to date"--and my software is not up to date, and updating it before backing it up would defeat the entire purpose of backing it up.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me so I can flash new firmware without losing the ability to go back.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] xperia_sony_best:
Hi there, sorry i can't help you with your questions. I have one more question actually. are you sure i don't have to unlock bootloader if i flash official stock firmware??

Opposite to you, i'm stuck with a really old build from 2017. my phone is xz1 and its build version is 47.1.A.2.374. android security patch is from october 2017 and i desperately want to update the newest firmware yet i'm always told that my firmware is lastest.

sooo, am i able to flash it with the flashtool or newflasher?/

thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] lilbrat:
Seems highly unlikely that you haven't received an update since 2017 but then stranger things have happen.. New phone, carrier branded hmm..

Have you tried to update with Sony Companion, use the software update on the phone its self..

Oh and yes you can use the other methods you have mentioned..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] xperia_sony_best:
thanks god i found a solution for this.

Repair my phone using xperia companion.

it's basically like flashing my phone and update my firmware to the latest firmware which is 47.1.A.16.20

Thanks God (or curious me :))

either way, i found a way to update my phone without using flashtool. hope this will help someone in the future
