I've never used twrp on this phone, is there a downside to updating via ~> fastboot flashall update file ~> reinstall magisk/reflash modified boot .img to regain root?

It worked for sept to oct update and i only had to reinstall magisk modules.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
The only downside to that method is it takes longer. With TWRP, it's wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
It's the official image that has borked touch...

If you use the installer... It doesn't matter what essential does... It always works when patched in...

So far..........

Just the opposite, since installing the update my standby lost is going from negligible to 50% battery is running between 104 and 120 degrees during normal operations. Can't find any apps that are drawing the power but my system panel app shows unaccounted apps using god-awful amounts of power
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mtmdatlanta:
My phone updated om the 12th. Seemed to go okay, until I noticed extreme battery drain, then no cell service, with the phone not recognizing the SIM card. Took it to Sprint. Verdict: bricked! wouldn't recognize any sim card. Couldn't wait for a replacement phone, so had to buy out the lease. Only discounted phone available to existing customers was the new LG V40, at $20/month 18 month lease. Very nice phone, really fast, but was hoping to wait for 5G. Oh well. I really loved my PH-1. Beware of the update if on Sprint.

How did you get that navigate bar. Pretty annoyed with the stock one.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
I wouldn't trust the guy at the counter to diagnose a former update. He got you to pay off the lease and get another crappy phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kgiri247:
Also experiencing terrible battery life on the November update. I ended up flashing back to October as the phone would need to be charged several times a day with minimal usage. I thought it was an app so I did a clean install and tried the Nov update again without restoring from backup and it was good for a day or two and back to terrible battery life and google play service battery drain.

Hopefully they fix this with December's patch, otherwise I'm opening a support ticket with Essential to see if they can help.

OK.... so ive had my phone attached to my Vista machine all day... nothing out of the ordinary there.... i unplug it to take some pics... then when i go to email the photo, it says there aren't any contacts... so i figured it was just being weird.... i reboot... AND EVERYTHING REALLY IS GONE!!! lol

what the F**K!!!

Has anyone experienced this!? can the PIM file become corrupt or anything? Is there anyway i can get it all back? :'(

(txts/emails haven't been lost)

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
If it's been plugged in, presumably it's been syncing with your desktop Outlook or Exchange server? Contacts/Tasks/Calendar suggests an activesync issue rather than some kind of data loss on the device, especially if other things are still intact. It may be you need to resync and/or check for deleted items on the desktop.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pooper:
That's the thing though, i setup the sync partnership to not sync anything (i just use the connection to use a remote desktop tool).

Plus, none of my personal data from my phone has synced with my PC ...

ARGH
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mchapman007:
ARGH is the right answer! I store all of that data on an exchange server and just re-sync when I flash a new ROM, clear storage, or just mess everything up from tinkering.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ashoooo:
Happened to me once when I tried to charge my phone with a USB cable connected to a laptop that didn't have Outlook. I ended up with no contacts, no calendar entries and no tasks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pooper:
Soo annoying - i havent even changed anything on my phone/PC.. it's just randomly decided to erase it all... no mention of sync conflicts... nothing.

I dont know what to direct my anger and hatred at.. Vista or Windows Mobile.....

I'm thinking.... vista
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gqstatus0685:
happened to me before lost 150 contacts, only had 50 on SIM. Sucks I was freaking out when I didn't have anything in my contacts. Same thing I unchecked all boxes and just use it to connect to SOTI pocket controller.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pooper:
When i got home and tried to sync with my home PC, it started the 'new partnership' wizard... so somehow it seems the whole damn sync relationship had been deleted.... niiiiiiiiiice!

Ohh well, luckily i had most of my stuff backed up... but it's still sh***y not knowing why this happened...

I had a look in the ActiveSync log - can't really make any sense of it though... there's nothing obviously wrong in there :S

Oh well!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pmtan666:
I have the same experience, in fact suddenly all my SMS and outlook folder just disappear from the phone. The phone just decide to clear everything for me for no reason.

The partnership with ActiveSync or Mobile Center just disappear for no reason and I need to re-establish them every now and then. Not sure it is a HW issue or SW issue.

I managed to grab OTA Update zips while I was updating from May till November, maybe someone will need. Applying OTA zips in recovery for sure will be faster than installing it normal way.

PS - also interested in how to grab them, I tried pausing the OTA update just before installation and searching for the file with ES Explorer but no luck.

EDIT - I found it after activating ROOT Explorer in ES File Explorer and searching for OTA, it's called "update_s.zip". Now to be brave enough to flash it, hehe...

Hello guys,

I'm trying to find some OFFICIAL ROM based on stock android for my Mi Mix 2. I was looking for Pixel Experience, but the device is not supported on the website yet. Do you have any other suggestions, links where should I look to? I have seen some threads here, but none of them are offical and final versions.

Preferably Andriod 9, but 8 and 8.1 would be also fine.

Thanks a lot!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] OU812_:
I need clarification on photos I take on my Pixel 2XL backup process and keeping them in Albums.

I have noticed if I take a pic on my Pixel 2XL it shows it is being backed up then will show “Back-up Complete”. Where is this mystery ‘backup’? Also, if I take a pic, upload it to an album in Google Photos and then delete the pic from the phone, the pic is also deleted from the album! What am I missing here?!?! I want the pic off my phone but still kept in the album within Google Photos.

:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] eBENdre:
Yes you are right. Pixel using photos for backup. Phone and photos server try to be sync.

If you delete a pic from your phone with the "galery" or with the photos app It will delete the photo from the server too. and vice versa.

If you want to remove pic from your phone and keep it in the photos. (https://photos.google.com/) you have to go to:

Photos - settings - Back up& Sync. Make sure it is tunerd ON

Then go to Free up device storage

Pictures will be removed from the phone but will be stored with original quality @ https://photos.google.com/

I hope this is what you ask for.

I have been trying to have an sd card as Internal storage as the 16gb on my ZTE MAX XL is far too little to install even a small handfull of the apps I want to have. but when I format my cards as internal they always eventually go into a Read Only type of mode until I unmount/remount the card or restart the phone and this has lead to a corrupted card a few times. Any idea if there's anything I can do outside of getting a new phone with better memory?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] matssa:
Hey all!

Since the OTA of November is out, I wanted to know if Pixel 2 users know how to flash OTA zip files through TWRP (since it should be the same between the two phones).

From what I saw, it seems like it is possible to flash the Google OTA zip directly under TWRP without any modifications. However, it is necessary to flash TWRP after the update (after reboot of the phone) so that it applies to boot a and boot b (if you flash after OTA update, it will only apply on boot b?).

Is this true or is there a new way so that you can keep TWRP and root without using the PC?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] old_fart:
.

The last I read ( yesterday . . . ) TWRP 's zip is not working / sticking_a_round . . . . so you need your pc and a happy ADP to do the magic with the TWRP image file. I can be patient. The dev's have a life and don't need our nagging them . . .

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Tonton Biscotte:
Hello forumers first of all I apologize for my approximate english I'm french and I talk about english only in forums so I will do my best you to understand myself.

I'm a new user on Androïd (and smartphone too) and after learning basics functions and many docs about this I decide to root my phone.It's new,not second hand so it was never used previously.With your threads to root it I succeed in unlocking bootloader without problems.Then I wanted to install TWRP by following your tutos and other sources (vidéos.......)and at each time fastboot don't load my image.

So I'm looking for solutions in forums and web and nothing works.Here is what I did after installing a win7 rather than my usualy Linux (install problems too )for this work :

use USB2.0 rather than 3.0 to connect my phone

use 2 different cable (original with my phone box and another)

install adb/fastboot on C:\ rather than Program Files (because permissions problems during install)

use one of your threads to redo it (image from shreps)

rename the image many times and another image version too and redownloaded it too

use complete path

use mfastboot v.2 too

This is a capture from terminal after fastboot :

so I spent hours to attempt many combination and reading posts but I don't know where to look for now.

Maybe can I use another recovery than TWRP to root?Which?

For info I'm not a dev :o
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, one cause may be that you're missing the file extension from the file name. That TWRP image usually has .img on the end

I'd enable file extensions in Windows (here's a tutorial: https://www.howtohaven.com/system/show-file-extensions-in-windows-explorer.shtml ) and also use the Tab key on the keyboard to auto-complete the full file name. Make sure that the file name you're using has the extension (else Windows may not find it).

Also, when you flash TWRP, you may see 'Image not signed or corrupt', that is a normal message as TWRP is not cryptographically signed by Motorola.

With TWRP, you need to also boot directly to the recovery after flashing - easiest way to do this is to press the Volume keys on your device until you see 'Recovery' then press the Power key to select.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Tonton Biscotte:
Hello echo92,

in my capture it was an attempt without .img extensions I should have pointed out that when I renamed it I attempt many solutions (even just name twrp.img or twrp-athene.img or twrp or twrp-athene or original name with and without extensions etc....).

Thanks for info for display extensions about windows because I looked for manip and not find :o

I'm under Linux so I didn't use win for many years but I have another pb with devices recognisation by adb and not to solved for the moment.So I install a win especially for rooting my phone it seems to be easier than Linux (and tuto are under windows)

So I will try again all my manips but in a nvidia forum I saw it was a windows issue and they only recommand to let complete path.

It's the most probant solution I have found until now.

I specify when I connect my phone after start it win recognize it normally so.........

I'm going crazy :silly:

The first codes I noticed being sent were on Friday. So far no one has stated that they have received the bin file back, but that was also during the weekend.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomdmca:
Ever since I flashed the rom everything worked pretty flawlessly, except the pen.

It completely lost the air pen functions it had on the original rom, but that's ok I don't miss them much, but on top of that it's just very glitchy.

Using it to scroll or launch apps basically gives you a 50% chance that it'll work because half of the times it just selects that element in a blue square (something that never happened before).

Also, while drawing and writing the tablet no longer disables the touch screen so I cannot write and place my hand on the screen because that will close apps, move pages, select and highlight stuff... basically go crazy.

Is there any way to fix this?

hey everybody!

i was using my galaxy a3 2017 (SM320FL) for half a year with lineage os (15.1) and flashed the latest build (Lineage 15.1-20180821-UNOFFICIAL-a3y17lte) some weeks ago.

i allways noticed little bugs etc. but all in all it worked for me.

since a week now, the phone won't boot into the system anymore if not connected to charge. i can still boot in download mode and recovery without plugging it in but not into the custom rom. as soon as i deconnect it (when using the custom rom) it reboots and gets stuck at the samsung screen.

that wouldn't be that bad if the usb connection was not dead as well. that happened a few month ago allready. i tried to connect it via odin, kies and smartswitch in download mode and recovery. but nothing. i also reinstalled the drivers via kies. i also flashed "ressurection remix oreo" to check wether it works with different roms but it didnt.

does anybody here have an idea what i can do to make the usb connection work? or is there a possibility to flash the firmware without it?

device SM-320FL

Android 8.1.0

TWRP 3.2.3-0

Bootloader: 0x030c (?)

EDIT: i guess this thread is supposed to be in the device-forum but i'm not able to move it myself am i?

EDIT: the problem turned out to be broken cables. i tried with a third one and usb is working fine.
