[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bazinga137:
When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.

On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.

Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.

The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).

Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?

After Unlocked Bootloader You Can't Get OTA Updated Even You Relock Bootloader ., tested On Moto G5s

Model X1795

However During try to Relock or downgrade Oreo 8.1 to 7.1.1 You May Get Complete Dead Your Phone as my phone goes During downgrade .
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
My bootloader is unlocked.

I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.

So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.

In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

I've tried 2 other battery doors and none of the click into place in that corner. It must be a missing clip on the phone. Apparently when I slid in my stylus one time it forced open the battery door -- must've popped off a tab that is used to click in that corner of the door.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] przemhb:
If I turn on Wi-Fi it shows it powers up and then, instead of get working and showing available Wi-Fi networks, it immediately disables. It started out of nothing I would say. I've tapped to turn on Wi-Fi and then, immediately tapped it once again disabling Wi-Fi. Since then it doesn't turn on.

Interestingly phone shows MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00.

What I've tried so far:

- reboot,

- turning power saving off,

- turning airplane mode on and off.

Is it a known issue? How to make it work again?

HW and SW info.:

H930 European version

Android 8.0.0

V20d-EUR-XX

Security patch: March 2018.

Magisk 17.1 installed and MagiskManager

Successfully unlocked and rooted a few days ago as in the following guide
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Not a known issue.

1) Try updating to newest Magisk (17.3) See if Wi-Fi works.

2) Try flashing same or newer KDZ, but UNcheck recovery partitions to keep TWRP. See if Wi-Fi works. Then, boot to TWRP, reflash newest Magisk, and the two other files again. See if Wi-Fi continues to work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] przemhb:
Wi-Fi started to work again.

First I restarted to TWRP and from TWRP power downed the phone. It didn't help. Next I rebooted again to TWRP, but this time I've chosen to reboot to system. Wi-Fi was on right after the boot :)

Thank you for your reply ChazzMatt. Regarding the 2nd option - could you please tell me:

- would the "H93020d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0326.kdz" be the right ROM in my case (V20d-EUR-XX)? I guess 20d in the file name is version, OPEN stands for unbranded or no simlock(?); I have no idea what OP and the number mean.

- where can I read about V30 partitions - what is where? For example I don't know why there are 2 system partitions (System, System Image) and what is stored on each of them, what is stored on EFS, Modem?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I can't answer all right now. Easiest is to flash this stock 21A H930 "ROM" (which is TWRP flashable KDZ built as a ROM, by [MENTION=3642089]westwood24[/MENTION]). Flash in TWRP, and then reflash Magisk.

It will update you to almost the newest H930 EU firmware.

I bought my Nex in China, and I already turned on the settings like autostart in iManager and settings like the emergency priority in Manage Status and Notification. However, a lot of times notifications for apps like Gmail still don't show up on time; they are delayed for anywhere between an hour to hours. Anyone know the solution?

maybe you need to whitelist your 3rd party apps for speedup. start first the app you want to whitelist, swipe from the left bottom up to get in the control center, there you see your apps. swipe the app down and you will see a lock, click on that and you whitelist your app for speedup. i include some pics. hope that help you solve your problem, the software is very terrible on this phone but i love it too much i can´t sell it.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ncse:
So basically I was installing TWRP onto my Mi A2. I installed twrp on slot b using fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img When then trying to boot into the b slot using fastboot set_active b That command wasn't recognized. I tried installing JDK and SDK manager to get the latest syntax etc. of adb/fastboot. I tried everything again and accidently typed fastboot flash boot twrp.img . This made me flash twrp to my a slot too. The new adb/fastboot syntax still didn't recognize the set_active command. So now I'm simply stuck with twrp on both my slots. I tried installing havoc-OS v2.0 for GSI. downloading the img.xz file. Extracting it and tried flashing it on slot a. But it kind of failed. This was the code:

PS C:\Users\noahe\Desktop\Ny mapp\platform-tools> fastboot flash system_b havoca2.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending sparse 'system_b' (524284 KB)...

I would appreciate some help :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
It sounds like (at least initially) your version of fastboot doesn't understand dual slots? an older version? You say you updated right? The new version does understand dual slots I'm assuming?

First thing, what happens if you press power and vol UP and hold them both until it starts to reboot?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nebrassy:
Stop using minimal adb, use this

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Flash the stock boot image and it should work

EDIT: since you tried flashing system, flash stock system again too
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
If all that results in is you staying in TWRP, look at twrp and hopefully it's one of the newer versions that allows you to set the 'active slot'. Hopefully choosing the other slot and then indicating reboot in twrp will cause the device to boot normally.

I've tried both jasmine 9.6.13 and jasmine 9.6.15 updates and they both get stuck at this. I even tried another computer.

Do you know if I should try to flash the rom manually via powershell/command prompt?

Because I'm not really sure how to do that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
As mentioned then, just flash stock boot.img, for the version that your device is currently running. The various stock boot images are easily found, along with the patched_boot.img (that you don't want).

The only issue is that the 2 slots, one will be the most current software you last updated to, the other will be the previous version you updated from. Do you know which one as active and what version it was running? If not, sounds like you'll have to guess.

If you can get one slot to boot you can then probably fix the other okay.

I know before all this i was on slot a with the 9.6.15 update
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
If you haven't change system, you haven't flashed any rom to it, on slot a, then yeah, just flash the boot.img for that version to slot a. You should then be able to set that as active (if it isn't already) and boot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ncse:

Hello,

NFC does not work when the screen is off or locked. XlAfbk has explained the steps to follow in order to make the NFC working with the screen locked. This is working very well on my Note 8 (SM-N9500) with Android 8.0 (does not break SafetyNet and works with NFC payments). The steps:

1. Pull NfcNci.apk from your device: adb pull /system/app/NfcNci/NfcNci.apk

2. Download smali-<version>.jar and baksmali-<version>.jar from https://bitbucket.org/JesusFreke/smali/downloads

3. Put NfcNci.apk and the 2 .jar files in the same directory

4. open a command prompt in that directory

5. open NfcNci.apk with 7z/winzip/winrar/... and extract classes.dex from it (into the same directory)

6. run: java -jar baksmali-<version>.jar classes.dex -o out

7. navigate to directory out\com\android\nfc

8. open NfcService.smali in a text editor

9. search for "android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF" and replace with "android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFFA"

10. search for "android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON" and replace with "android.intent.action.SCREEN_ONA"

11. search for "android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT" and replace with "android.intent.action.USER_PRESENTA"

12. search for "android.intent.action.USER_SWITCHED" and replace with "android.intent.action.USER_SWITCHEDA"

13. search for ".method private computeDiscoveryParameters" -> about 20 lines below it should be a line like "if-lt v2, p1, :cond_5b" -> replace the 2 parameters in that function (in this example: "if-lt p1, v2, :cond_5b")

14. open ScreenStateHelper.smali in a text editor

15. search for ".method checkScreenState()I" -> change all the return values ("const/4 v0, 0x...") to "const/4 v0, 0x3"

16. run: java -jar smali-<version>.jar out -o classes.dex

17. open NfcNci.apk with 7z/winzip/winrar/... and add classes.dex to it

18. push the modded apk to your device: adb push NfcNci.apk /system/app/NfcNci/NfcNci.apk. Do not forget to make a backup of the original NfcNci.apk before.

19. chmod 644 /system/app/NfcNci/NfcNci.apk

All credit goes to the original writer of the guides: https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-nfc-unlocking-based-t2478163/post59941326

Alternately, you can download the modded NfcNci.apk and install it with adb. This is for the Note 8 (SM-N9500) with Android 8.0. It might work for other versions of Note 8.
