[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Easy E:
So, I've been running Benzo 9.0 October release with no issues. Yesterday, out of the blue, my phone goes to a black screen and will not respond. It's been fine for weeks and haven't changed/flashed anything since.

I can hold down power/volume down for 8 seconds and get to the bootloader. That's as far as it goes. If I try to go to recovery, I get a black screen, so can't see what it's doing. ADB sees the phone just fine but all attempts to flash anything fails.

ADB is current as of yesterday

Here's what my bootloader says that's odd:

BL: N/A

Baseband: N/A

Boot-slot b

I've changed boot slots via ADB and it confirms, but it stays in B

I've tried to flash factory image and it fails as bootloader is N/A

I've tried to flash bootloader (and anything else) and it fails like this:

==========================================================

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.345]

(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Eric and Liz>cd c:/sdk/platform-tools

c:\SDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img

Sending 'boot_a' (30993 KB) OKAY [ 1.140s]

Writing 'boot_a' FAILED (remote: 'flash write failure')

Finished. Total time: 1.702s

c:\SDK\platform-tools>

==========================================================

Ideas?

Thanks in advance....

I installed also the rom benzo a few weeks ago, and something similar happened to me, the screen went black, and I did not see anything, but I flipped the stock and it was great. I answer because what happened to me, I was also using the benzo rom, I do not have it installed anymore and I will never install it anymore.

Hi,

Several people already faced the same issue here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/help/pixel-xl-bricked-bootloader-n-baseband-n-t3537379

It seems like nothing can be done to restore your device to a working state. Either RMA or you're SOL...

Good luck anyway..! :highfive:

Hi,

Just because your screen went black, doesn't mean it's the ROM fault. Running the same ROM at the moment and never encountered such issue. Be sure if it was ROM related, it would be discussed in its thread... :good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
So you've tried flashing the latest stock image from Google via fastboot ?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Easy E:
Yes. I can't flash anything - all write attempts fail. Since the bootloader version shows "N/A", flashing the stock image stops as it can't confirm the bootloader version. It sucks...fastboot sees the phone and verifies with serial number, but nothing can be written. It appears there is a known issue with the early Pixel mainboards causing this - some people have had them fixed by Google even out of warranty. No luck for me yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
There's a thread started here in the Q &A section about unbricking, i would check to see if anything those guys have tried could work for you . I'm sorry you're having this issue, I know it just suck big time.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Easy E:
After more research and reading through this link that 5.1 posted, (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/help/pixel-xl-bricked-bootloader-n-baseband-n-t3537379) it appears to not be bricked but likely a faulty main board.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to play a sound (preferably through the earpiece) while on a phone call? I found some code on the internet somewhere that allows me to play sound, but when I make a call, it doesn’t work. Here is the code I have now.

Public Class Sound
Private m_soundBytes() As Byte
Private m_fileName As String

Public Declare Function WCE_PlaySound Lib "CoreDll.dll" Alias "PlaySound" (ByVal szSound As String, ByVal hMod As IntPtr, ByVal flags As Integer) As Integer
Public Declare Function WCE_PlaySoundBytes Lib "CoreDll.dll" Alias "PlaySound" (ByVal szSound() As Byte, ByVal hMod As IntPtr, ByVal flags As Integer) As Integer

Private Enum Flags
SND_SYNC = &H0 ' play synchronously (default)
SND_ASYNC = &H1 ' play asynchronously
SND_NODEFAULT = &H2 ' silence (!default) if sound not found
SND_MEMORY = &H4 ' pszSound points to a memory file
SND_LOOP = &H8 ' loop the sound until next sndPlaySound
SND_NOSTOP = &H10 ' don't stop any currently playing sound
SND_NOWAIT = &H2000 ' don't wait if the driver is busy
SND_ALIAS = &H10000 ' name is a registry alias
SND_ALIAS_ID = &H110000 ' alias is a predefined ID
SND_FILENAME = &H20000 ' name is file name
SND_RESOURCE = &H40004 ' name is resource name or atom
End Enum

' Construct the Sound object to play sound data from the specified file.
Public Sub New(ByVal fileName As String)
m_fileName = fileName
End Sub

' Construct the Sound object to play sound data from the specified stream.
Public Sub New(ByVal stream As IO.Stream)
' read the data from the stream
m_soundBytes = New Byte(stream.Length) {}
stream.Read(m_soundBytes, 0, Fix(stream.Length))
End Sub 'New

' Play the sound
Public Sub Play()
' If a file name has been registered, call WCE_PlaySound,
' otherwise call WCE_PlaySoundBytes.
If Not (m_fileName Is Nothing) Then
WCE_PlaySound(m_fileName, IntPtr.Zero, Fix(Flags.SND_ASYNC Or Flags.SND_FILENAME))
Else
WCE_PlaySoundBytes(m_soundBytes, IntPtr.Zero, Fix(Flags.SND_ASYNC Or Flags.SND_MEMORY))
End If
End Sub
End Class

I am writing this for my Kaiser on WM6, but support for earlier devices would be nice if possible.

Thanks,

Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
i'm also trying to create an application that vibrates the phone whenever call is connected but somehow the OS mutes all sounds and vibrations while you are making a call.

The code you have, IMHO, plays the sound through the loudspeaker, not the earpiece.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrGalione973:
what you would have to do, because i have done it, is set the registry settings under the control panel (under local machine) and there is an option to set different sounds for differnt events/actions/calls/messages etc
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpotter:
try API PlayEventSound
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elFahd:
this idea is already integrated in LC minutes though i didnt have much time to work it out like it should be.

It would be nice to have a complete customization of this idea.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itsallwright:
Thank you mrpotter. PlayEventSound did what I was looking for
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigc:
It may play a sound environmental background during a call to simulate being in a traffic jam or in the countryside?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kareem_ayoub:
Example

Can anyone post an example of how to use API playeventsound in .net ?

LineageOS 15.1​

Unofficial Note 9 ROM by OpenSauce9810​

What is this?

This is a working version of LineageOS 15.1. There is a "Pre-Official" version posted here but at the moment nobody has been able to successfully boot the rom, so in the meantime I'm happy to share this working build.

What's working?

Mostly everything, including dual speaker, home button, MTP.

What's not working?

Powering off - if you power off your phone completely the rom won't boot. You need to go to trwp and reboot to system to get back in. (I think)

I think I need to adjust the padding of the status bar, there appears to be too much.

Let me know of any other issues.

Instructions:

Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.

Download the latest build linked below

Reboot to recovery

Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs). Even better if you have nothing to loose and wipe system,data,cache,storage etc

Flash the latest build (and gapps). GAPPS ARE NOT INCLUDED use opengapps 8.1.

Reboot and enjoy

Had this running for around a week now, absolutely great rom, incredible job.

The only thing that bugs around is that if you set the brightness to 100%, it's stuck there until you reboot. That's literally the only thing that doesn't works correctly.

I'm also not entirely sure if the speakers are working perfectly, they sound a tad bit off on the highest volume, but I can't compare it with stock that much as I haven't really tried them on stock.

Are you gonna do some further updates on this? Any plans on trying LOS 16? Need some pizza donations or something like that? :D

[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] clarew803:
I bought an Honor 9 lite it is 2 weeks old, been working fine, night before last it showed a notification message 'Battery temp. too low, functionality of phone may be affected'.

Since then it has rebooted, reset and all totally wiped back to factory reset, however now the phone when I plug it in to charge is charging but only goes as high as 2%.

Any ideas please, 2% charge is limited to what I can do within the phone and wont stay on long enough when connected to laptop through USB.

Saw someone mention calibrating the battery? would this fix it?

can anyone help please?:D
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fredin_:
You can try recalibrating the battery.

But since you just bought the device taking it to the service center would most probably give you a free repair if it's a battery problem.

716 megs. Must be some bug fixes in there too? Baseband version and build number (obviously) are different, still 8.0.0 and 4.4.78 kernel.

It looks like there is a camera update and some AOD updates as well. I am a bit intrigued by the new AOD options.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pony182:
Is it just me or the new Outfocus (portrait) mode is broken? After I take a picture it tells me that the portrait effect couldn't be applied because it couldn't find a face in the saved picture?

P.S. Also intrigued by the ned AOD options, and fade in animation.

Edit: Fixed it by clearing data and cache.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] [Cruzer]:
How does one apply update without loosing root/magisk
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
Impossible. Just reapply magisk and TWRP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] portcqb:
Anyone else have issues trying to update? I've tried twice on via the on phone update both times it downloaded but reboots to just error symbol and after manual reboot says verification problem. I've also tried twice via Bridge but it seems to fail in download phase.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Wouldn't you have to go through the whole process of re-rooting it again?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

You can always wait for someone to make a flash able zip of it with stock recovery removed
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
If you have TWRP just install Magisk again and you are back to being rooted.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I thought if bootloader was unlocked then you couldn't install an OTA and have to flash it through LG bridge or whatever the program is for flashing kdz? This was last I remember but maybe I missed something.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right. You can't install inferior partial image OTA, if you have TWRP.

Wait for the superior full image KDZ. Flash through LGUP, DL PARTITION, but UNcheck recovery partitions to keep TWRP. At least that's how all the other V30 do it, if we don't have flashable TWRP ROM.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zrzhu:
Thanks. I'll wait for a flashable TWRP Rom since I've not rooted my phone yet. Might as well just wait for a few days. Hope someone will post one soon.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I don't think that will work for TMobile users. We need to wait for a zip we can flash in TWRP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
Of course. You are right. Everything has a tradeoff unfortunately but OTA usually requires you to reinstall Magisk to get root back.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OTA won't even install with TWRP.

And you need TWRP to get Magisk.

Why do people keep only talking about Magisk? TWRP is why you can't and don't want to install an OTA.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Why not?

You can use LGUP, to DL PARTITION.

You can Uncheck recovery partitions.

You can then boot to TWRP. (hardware dance buttons)

You can then flash Magisk, the no encryption and no Root Check files again.

Is there something I'm missing?

Well, for people who were silly enough to replace their Download mode with 2ND copy of TWRP, NO they can't do that. You need Download mode to flash KDZ via LGUP. But everyone else with H932 can do that. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Well if you check running thread for h932 root, you will see a guy who said he wished he had a second copy of TWRP on LAF. He paid for it. Not sure what happened but when a DEV gives that type of advice, you take it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
If you flash laf again, will that bring dl mode back? I'm all gung ho to learn how to convert kdz to a flashable zip. Not sure if my linux machine has enough computing power though.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Yes, you can flash LAF back. Running posted the zip file.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Same.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
The ota can be captured. I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until we know its arb0
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I would not worry about ABR1 since we can flash that via TWRP. It will just stop people from this point forward from gaining root with the current method.

It's ARB00

It has a new Baseband Version (radio) software

New TimeZone versions

Same Kernel and same firmware versions

Android Patch October 1, 2018

I don't see anything announcing it on t-mobiles website, so that's frustrating.

I didn't document the version numbers for com.lge.zzz apps prior to updating and so perhaps a lot of those may have been updated to match the V40 if possible. Here are two apps with version numbers after the update...not sure if they are updated from 20k or not.

Camera - LGCameraApp.apk - com.lge.camera - 7.0.45.21

LG Keyboard - LGEIME.apk - com.lge.ime - 7.5.13

If anyone wants a version check on a particular app, let me know.

I think I took it by mistake.. In pocket I had tried to clear notifications. I'm on 20k now..

Am I SOL on rooting???

I've been super busy with work and school and was waiting on a little more ROM choice.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
The update is ARB0, meaning you should be able to downgrade.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeygee23:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
You're fine. Update is 20o
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Did LG really get rid of the Capture+ feature with this update? I don't see it anywhere. If so, that sucks. That was a good feature.

EDIT: Never mind. I had to download it in LGs update center. *Phew*
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gabytzubc:
Did they add portrait mode with this update? Or I heard wrong?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
They added a portrait mode feature in the selfie camera. I don't see the option for the back camera. The front camera is crap with their camera software though. It's best to stick with cstark's camera which also has portrait mode and takes better pictures. Also, I don't know if it's related to the new feature but every time I mess with it, Google photos gets messed up and can't delete photos. I figured out to boot into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik to fix it. I'm just not going to mess with that feature anymore.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Correct although in my experience so far it kind of sucks. I'm going to do a clean flash as I dirty flashed it over 20K and see if that helps but I tried multiple times and it kept saying no face detected lol

**EDIT** so after checking out the photos it actually did work even though it says that no face was detected. So not sure what that's all about
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gabytzubc:
I'm on h930 version,didn't get any update yet..still on September patch .
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I flashed the modified zip that running naked provided in the other thread

Also it's for the T-Mobile model only. I'm not sure which model the H930 is. Guessing it's unlocked model or something?

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-h932-oreo-v20o-stock-twrp-t3863202/post78070852

Also for anyone who is wanting to update to you use the new Portrait (or Outfocus as LG is calling it) feature, don't waste your time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's pretty bad after using it for a couple of days now. Just use Cstarks Gcam like the previous poster said. It can do portrait from both and it just works ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
H930 is Europe. September patch is the most current for that model, as of today. H93O should get an update later this month. For all the V30 variants, LG pushes out updates every two or three months, NOT every month. We are guaranteed updates not older than 90 days for at least three years, once we were updated to Oreo.

NEVER flash anything meant for T-Mobile H932 on H930.

Basically you're in the wrong thread. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gabytzubc:
Basically I was just asking. I wasn't mean to flash h932 zip or kdz on my phone , just asking about the camera feature. I known about the update schedule . :) So if it's not free to ask ... why would I have an account here. No need to reply
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] myson the bison:
So I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but now my AOD has this big letter M under the clock no matter what theme I put on it and no option to remove it, I assume it's an M because of my initials. It only popped up after the update and just seems weird that there is no way to remove it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well I'm going to reply. I said you were in the wrong thread because you complained about not getting an October update. (And some people then ask if they can flash other variants so they can have the latest Google security patch or latest features. It's actually happened in this forum.)

But instead you (H930) got a September one the H932 didn't get. That's how it works. So, it seems you didn't know about the update schedule.

You should get an update later this month. If not, then next month for sure.

I'm on US998 and I don't mention in a T-mobile thread that I didn't receive an October update like they did - - because we (US998) got one in September and will get another in November.

No, I didn't remember the other posts about you asking about the camera changes. All I was commenting on was your seeming envy about this October update. :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
I haven't noticed anything like that on mine. My AOD looks normal.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
I don't know if this is something the update introduced or not but has anyone else had issues with Google Photos not being able to delete photos from the storage? I attached a screenshot of what it tells me when I try. Even though it says it doesn't have access to the SD Card, my photos aren't saved to the SD Card. This happens randomly and the only way I have found to fix it is to boot into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik. Then after booting back into the system, it's back to normal and I can delete images again. I've never had this problem on the previous version or on Lineage when I was on it. So I figured it might be something related to this update. My thought may be it's related to the camera update since it happens sometimes after taking pictures. Has anyone else experienced this though?
