HD 10 (2017) boot looping at "Installing system update". Anyway to force it to stop?

I decided to root my 5.6.0.1 and then my intention was to update it to 5.6.2.0 and then root it again. That seems to be a mistake, due warning for future people. Right now my tablet is booting into "Installing system update", the progress bar goes like a mm and then it reboots back into the same screen a split second later.

I tried to get into recovery by holding the volume buttons and power but it still boots into the same "Installing system update" screen. Anyone know what else I can try? Is there a way to get it to stop updating or a way to get it to factory reset itself via ADB or something? Anything I can try here?

Thanks!

Anyone use Vue and have a device running Pie? I've searched all over and found no information. App will run fine when started and logged in for the first time, but after that, next time it runs it hangs on the blue PS logo screen and never gets to the main menu. I've seen this on three different Pie roms on my phone now. I've been trying to confirm if this is Sony's issue and it doesn't work on any Pie ROM...?

[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] yellowchilli:
So all my other phones work fine with the Parrot MKi9200. Except the ROG.

I'm going to try describing my experience as best I can. Wanting to see if anyone is having the same issues (with other asus phones even) and has found a solution.

First time I tried connecting, the bluetooth code popped up, I entered the default code and attempted pairing but the Parrot has too many paired devices so it was rejecting the ROG

so i cancelled the pairing and went into the Parrot to delete old devices

Tried pairing again but this time, it no longer asks for the code

The pairing appears to be successful on the Parrot, the phone says it's connected but when I try playing anything, there is no sound at all

I've tried forgetting the connection on the phone and then pairing again. and strangely enough, it no longer asks for the code, which is abnormal

The Parrot has no record of the ROG as a paired device so there is nothing I can do from that end

On the phone I then tried clearing bluetooth cache

setting org.coreaudio something bluetooth to not be optimised for battery

tried pairing a random headphone with the phone and it works just fine

:(

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] arbajmessiali:
I have been running about, trying to create a basic custom ROM for my device.

Have tried most of the methods mentioned in forums. Nothing seems to work.

Anybody out here who can guide me through it?

Also, explaining customising the Android system.

Thanking everyone in advance.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] akshmau5:
Create??????

Really don't get the "thanks in advance" thing!! :confused:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] arbajmessiali:
Yes. Create.

I mean building or compiling.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] akshmau5:
If you are an up and coming developer (I am assuming) then Github or the best place to start would be from lineage os website and their guide "how to build for your device".

And ofc you would need all possible help from our lead device developers like Shivam Kumar Jha and Sagar for the device trees, kernel source codes and what not!! I have no clue.

The base is already compiled from AOSP by the respective main contributors rather head developers. You have to take the source code and tweak it/compile it (ofc not easy) for our device.

You asked the question to explain android customisation in general!!! Well, if you don't know that, then unless you are on NZT-48 or a really genius programmer, I doubt you can do it. (Also great if you prove me wrong here). Don't mean to discourage you.

Wouldn't we do it all for ourselves??!!!!!

For Android customization - the basics would be to root and go tweaking, fiddling and modding around on the stock rom first. Lots of amazing stuff already. (Why to reinvent the wheel!)

Then depends on your requirements.

Good luck. :svetius:

I am trying the same thing myself using the lineageOS 15.1 branch.

I am using the directions provided in the lineageOS Wiki for the X00TD device (can't post a link because i am a newbie).

The instructions are clear enough but I am having specific problems with the brunch command - specific errors come up for missing files.

Is this the right place to start posting specific technical questions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon546:
I am completely new to Android Engineering and want to learn it. Till now, I have tried building aosp oreo from repo. It is built successfully but I don't know about the use of all the folders that are downloaded by the repo. What is the use or importance of each folder in repo? Where can I learn more about this?

I have also modified my stock firmware (only removed some bloatware apps) and rebuilt the firmware. I haven't installed it yet. I used android kitchen which helped me with signing the zip but I am afraid the signature might be for testing and not the official vendor signature. I have phone with unlcoked bootloader but it's still on stock recovery. According to my knowledge, unlocking bootloader helps us to flash unofficial files but people at XDA say that we should also have custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. Should I flash the modified ROM built by me in device with stock ROM and unlocked bootloader?

My device doesn't have official TWRP support. How can I port recovery or build it from scratch for my phone?

Also, I have only modified stock ROM and need to learn porting ROMs like porting MIUI for my device. How can we port ROMs?

Sorry for asking all these at once but I tried getting answer one after another which confused me a lot. I am a noob in this field.

I read XDA thread of TWRP developer which included a guide on how to build TWRP for any device. But as the author said, that post wasn't for noobs. Maybe I need to learn a lot before I reach that level of understanding. But I don't know what to learn and from where. Please help..

And one last thing - What is a device tree? Or vendor tree? I saw these words many times when I was trying to understand the above things. But I still don't know what these are and Google doesn't help. Thank you everyone..

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mriggs82:
Is there any way of getting around the Google Play deauthorization limit? I had the OP5, and was flashing different P ROMs. Last week I chatted with Google support and, they provided me the one-time reset of my devices, maxed out my number of devices and couldn't deauthorize even though I hadn't done so in over a year.

I'm probably going to stick with OOS with this phone, just wary of updating stock ROMs through TWRP and it counting against my device limit. Or do y'all use YouTube Music or Spotify?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] candiesdoodle:
Bump

Any solutions anyone?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
I had the same problem. The guys at Google reset my whole device list twice this year !

But at the end i went for Spotify. Because it doesn't have a real device limit, and other things (daily mixes and Clock app integration, and because my old account at college never has be deactivated, so Spotify still allows me the student discount :D )

But i suppose you could just email them each time you reach the limit, and explaining you're just flashing ROMs, they wouldn't refuse to reset the device list, as it clearly shows the same device multiple times. They can perform this "one-time reset" more than once haha !
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] candiesdoodle:
Thanks for sharing this info

I have got it reset once. Let's hope they do again when I hit the limit
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
I've had it reset twice within a year. It's B.S. though you can only deauthourize 4 in 12 months. What do they care as long as it doesn't exceed the limit. They where hesitant the last time and acted like it was a process even though I know they just flip a switch. Took about 20 min or being on hold. But I said I am a rom tester on xda and they accepted that answer.

Does Spotify have just as big as a music collection as Google play?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
All i know is I've never had any problem finding anything ! In my case, everything I like to listen to is on both services, they are pretty on par about 90% functionality.

GPM has a better preloading mechanism, Spotify has better suggestions, but that's it.

About the resetting on GPM, I also told them that the same device was registered countless times due to flashing ROMs regularly, they understood and didn't ask for more !

If you restore data with titanium backup before you open the music app does it still register a new device?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Boblank:
i wonder if backing up the "settings storage" package which im pretty sure contains the android id would do anything. Might be worth a try.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
I've restored a rom backup before and it stayed registered. So there is a file or a combination of files that will work, I just have not found it. I was thinking it may be the Google play services data combined with android ID and the system private app files for play music, but titanium backup doesn't restore that stuff properly so I gave up.

May not matter. A new update should be dropped next month. Not only does it update the Sprint bootloader (no surprise), but also the U firmware bootloader. It would put the U; Sprint; and T-Mobile on b8. Based on previous version history, should drop around mid-November. It will be the October update and they usually push them the month after in the US.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisquee:
I have tried a few of the different 6.1 ROMs available for Kaiser.

I am having on recurring problem with ActiveSync though.

My situation ... I have my own laptop at home running Vista business and Office/Outlook 2007 At work I have a laptop running XP with Office/Outlook 2003.

On 6.0 ROMs all was fine. With the 6.1 ROMs, It will not let me sync my phone to both machines (to keep my calendar and contacts in sync) It will let me set up the phone at home, and then sync fine at work, but when I return home, I get a "ActiveSync has encountered a problem on the desktop", the same with me initially setting up at work first. The only solution I have found is to remove the sync pairing on the computer, and then re-set-up the phone with the computer - this hardly being ideal.

Has anyone else experieced the same thing, and/or found a solution to this?

Thanks for any help offered, otherwise I guess I am back to 6.0 ROMs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
Very common solution with syncing is settings->connections->usb to pc, and then uncheck. try that. you would have found this out if you searched first. If this solution doesn't fix it, then must be a unique problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisquee:
Thanks for your help - does seem to be working.

I did search before posting - solutions suggested that I found included deleted sync partnerships, reinstalling office, repair office, deleting pst files ... this solutiuon I did not find.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisquee:
Well, tried the solution given above - synced fine at home this morning, and at work, but upon returning home the error has returned.

:-(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] chrisnash:
CHeck which USB cable you are using to sync. There was a massive post a while back around the issue of using non-HTC cables. I was also a victim of this. A standard USB cable has to much space around the connector and can cause it to damage the connector on your Kaiser.

I tried all the solutions mentioned and only when I used to HTC cable could I eventually sync.

It didnt completely solve the issue - my laptop has dual boot - vista and XP and I could only get it to sync with XP. Eventually that didnt work either (the connector must have get more damaged) and I had to send it back to HTC for repair.

Interestingly, when it came back I had no problems syncing with either. I have changed no settings and then last night I could not sync again. I unticked the advanced functionality in the USB to PC settings and it fixed it but why did it suddenly start happening? I havent changed any settings.

If you are woried about damage to your USB connector, have a look at the pin at the bottom of you Kaiser and see if it is straight or crooked.

I also think its a really bad idea that they put the soft reset button so close to the USB connection - how many of you have accidentally pushed the stylus into the connector when trying to soft reset your device? I have a few times and I'm sure this didnt help.

The answers arent always straight forward and its really pathetic to keep bashing people with READ THE WIKI and SEARCH THE THREAD when it is a genuine question requiring thought and support.

Better not to post at all than just to attack someone and waste everyones valuable time and take up room on a thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisquee:
Well, having gone back to 6.0 ROMs, syncing between my Kaiser and my home and office computers is working again.

So, will stuck with 6.0 until some more official 6.1 ROMs are released I guess.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vcespon:
It's working for me

I'm not sure what's wrong with your computer but it's not a WM 6.1 problem. Since I started testing new ROMs, I've connected my TyTN II to 3 different computers, using 2 USB-MiniUSB cables (none the HTC supplied one), 2 computers had Windows XP, one had Vista. It was detected and configured by Activesync or WMDC every single time.

I have tried Dutty's, Sleuth, UDK, NoThrills, L26, MobileVista... It worked every single time on 3 different computers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisquee:
I don't know either, but moving back to 6.0 ROMs has made the problem disappear. I tried a number of 6.1 ROMs and they all gave the error of not wanting to sync to more than one computer - they would pair up fine, but on syncing would throw up errors and not sync, for example would be set up fine at home and synced, then go to the office set up and syn fine, but on return home wouldn't want to play anymore.

I just hope when official releases of 6.1 come out that they will work properly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Ok this has worked for some with sync issues. Give it a try.

With Phone diconnected from computer:

Delete partnerships on

Device and on computer.

(On Phone)open regedit and go to HKLM/ident

edit Name to HTC-8900 (for tilt) or HTC-TYTN_II (for kaiser)

edit OrigName to HTC-8900 (for tilt) or HTC-TYTN_II (for kaiser)

Power Off (not reset) and wait 30 sec then repower

(on Computer)Go into task manager and close wmdc.exe

go to your computers control panel and open sync center (same icon as old activesync)

Open WMDC

Plug Phone in via USB

Once it starts be sure to name partnership the same as your device ID

Please post if it works. If not there have been a few other methods that may work.

NOTE: if you switch between vista and xp, activesync has a random tendancy to overwrite the device name to something like windowsmobile72 which messes up the sync with WMDC. Changing the device name ussually fixes this issue if it occurs.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] StockBreaker71:
So, I tried unlocking ZE520KL with ASUS Flash Tool, and after 25 mins of flashing image I disconnected the device. Now, the device only boots into factory mode and recovery mode. Bootloader doesn't work and internal storage isn't mounted when I use the option Install update from SD card, but MicroSD works. :(

I had the latest update installed before this happened. I tried the latest firmware from the site and installed it via recovery but it shows signature verification failed. The same thing happens if I try to delete the first few lines of the updater script in the META-INF folder.

So help me guys, which firmware should I use and how should I use it? Even ADB sideload didn't work. :(
