[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OP6TNewb:
Hi Pain & Panic.

I was attempting to root my device following the instructions here https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/ by Adam Conway.

I was successful up to flashing the twrp img file but I made the error of flashing the wrong zip file. (blu_spark_r54-oos-pie_op6-6t_12869fe.zip ). This is bc when you follow the link to the twrp download page in Adam's instructions, the actual twrp zip file you need as per the instructions is the 10th file down the list and I didn't realize that this was important vs using the 1st zip file on the page which is the one I used. I assumed that the other files were older versions and the 1st was the most recent update that I should use. For a newb like me, this was VERY confusing.

Once I flashed the zip and rebooted to system, I got stuck in the fastboot bootloop.

While I am not 100% sure that this is what caused the problem, and maybe you will tell me that the zip file shouldn't have made a difference, but these are the steps I took.

FYI - after restoring my device using [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION]'s tool, I have successfully rooted my phone by following Adam Conway's steps and using the EXACT files he screenshots on the tutorial. So after a painful but educational experience, I rooted my device. Thanks again!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OP6TNewb:
I forgot to mention one thing which may also be the reason. Initially, before using Adam Conways instructions, I started with the steps on High on Android (Max Lee) for the OP6 but on their download page, I mistakenly downloaded the twrp zip for the 5T and I flashed it. This initially cause the device to brick but I got it back into fastboot and into recovery and thats when I flashed the OTHER twrp file above. After I did this, I could no longer get into recover and was stuck in fastboot only.

So you can see that I made multiple errrors and I am not sure which one lead to what. Thank goodness OnePlus is friendly to rooting so I could save the phone!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
Ah, I see. Looks like you flashed a kernel zip instead.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] magiceraserss:
Im not a noob, but have been so out of practice with the latest Android ROMS and flashing and the changes in the partition arrangements. I managed to soft brick my phone as well and this post totally saved the day! Mauronofrio totally deserves a donation and I also gave one.

Thanks XDA! This place has saved me many times and helped me get the most of all my Android devices!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] popy2006:
Hey guys. i am also no noob in flashing/rooting my devices.

Don thishundres of times.

Today my OP6T has shown an Magisk update (before it was 21.4 + Magisk Manager) and now it showed the popup to update -> done and error "bad image format" (i think for the kernel). Rebooted and now i am stuck in the same fastboot bootloop.

Tried to boot up TWRP with "fastboot boot tmrp.img" sadly it doesnt boot.

Any hints how i can recover my phone without wiping everything?

maybe @mauronofrio has an idea?

thx a lot

I woke up this morning and jumped on YouTube and noticed that my volume was really low. I wiped the phone, reinstalled everything and still had the problem.

Anyone else have this issue?

Ironically yes.

I actually just googled the issue and found your post.

Nothing to fix it yet... IDK what happened.

I thought all media was playing as regular phone earpiece because it was that quiet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pzr3z:
Hi :D, I recently bought a Verizon S4 that came with a Baseband Version of I545VRUFNG6. Although I know that only Baseband Version VRUAMDK has an exploit which allows for unocking the system and placing a custom bootloader on it, I must ask: are there any options for this phone on this specific baseband? Are there any ROMS or a way to use FlashFire to get an Android version higher than 4.4.2? Or is there any way of downgrading the bootloader to VRUAMDK. I've read that downgrading to 4.3 is not possible. Just curious. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Downgrading to MDK is not possible. You can root the system easily, there are multiple guides for doing so. You'll have to use safe strap to flash anything, or you can upgrade to lollipop and root and flash with v0.53 Flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pzr3z:
Thank you.

I appreciate you confirming any previous thoughts I had. Thank you very much. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
A very common mistake is that people think Loki unlocks the bootloader. It does not. Loki doki was a bypass exploit, meaning the bootloader is still locked, just you're by passing the lock with it. Think of it as using a credit card to open a locked door. The lock is still locked yet the door is opened.

I have a zte axon 7 A2017 china version, when the phone is locked it shows the zte logo then the red led flashes and goes off.

twrp does not work, edl mode is recognized by Miflash but does not flash with any stock rom.

"cannot recive hello packet, MiFlash is traying to reset status"
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
You can use the DFU multitool from here...

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/salesmultidla2017-tool-to-unblick-dfu-t3854229

There is an English version on page 4

Or check all your driver's are up to date correct your PC or laptop show show as...

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the windows device manager.

If it shows DFU, use the tool in the above link.

Hope this helps :)

thank you.

Can somebody give me full QCN Backup from axon 7 (a2017g), please?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
You are welcome.

You need a Edl package to finish the process using Miflash, there are some posted on here depending if you want Nougat or Oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
What did you do? i see many many bricks,because they follow steps mentioned by others (that are wrong)

For example they say,if you want to go back to stock you can connect to edl and just flash stock,but that is bullcrap
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
Ive never had a problem restoring via Edl, its been the packages that can cause problem.

I've always gone forwards with my ROMs never backwards.

Some Edls fail the hello packet (eg: the turdevs package I was using failed)

The Edl packages by Djkuz have all worked.

Now I need to release the 4g in my zte axon 7 chinese. only 3g works

Can you give me a full backup of QCN from axon 7 A2017G or A2017U, please? or someone who has
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You can't flash hardware...

If you flash a different modem (which you totally can without even qcn) you'll just lose signal. Flashing a QCN backup would probably wipe your IMEI
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
I have the backup of my qcn phone.

I have already tried different QCN from other brands, but none of them works, I need to get the qcn zte axon 7 a2017g or a2017u to try.

The imei I have it annotated to restore at any time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
keep trying if you want, but it's surely that you're lacking the necessary bands. did you even check before?

Also, "different QCN from other brands"? What other brands???
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
There are a number of reasons why you can't get 4g, SIM card is one, band support is another.

I had to change a SIM because it was only running 3g not 4g, I wouldn't keep trying other backups in case you break your phone completely.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
Xiomi, One PLus,etc

But maybe if I work with the qcn of the same model ZTE AXON 7 will work
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
I'm inside the 4g coverage, the chip is 4g, I've tried it on another smartphone and if it captures 4g, the problem is the band
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
My axon is Chinese, it only has FDD LTE band 1,3,7

through DFS tool I have activated band 8 because it is what I need but the phone does not recognize it as LTE but as band 8 GSM and there is no signal, only 3G capture

It seems that it is impossible to activate the other bands in this zte axon 7 A2017
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JTruj1ll0923:
Where are you living? Your phone just may not have the other bands in it. Nothing that can be fixed with a modem or qcn flash.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
I tried using flash with qcn files with unlocked bands, but they were from xiaomi phones, one more, zte axon 7 mini, but it did not work for me.

How could I edit the QCN of my zte axon 7 to activate the bands?

There will be some way to edit a modem (NON-HLOS.bin). It would be excellent. Maybe it works for me.

i live in peru
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JTruj1ll0923:
Sorry, but you don't understand. The bands are hardware based, not software. The modem files will help the bands recognize the towers, but nothing will add extra hardware. I'm assuming you don't have Claro as your carrier? If you do have Claro I don't know why it doesn't work, but if you don't have Claro you should get an a2017u. For example:

A2017: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/Eaj5CJl/zte-axon-7-a2017-dual-sim-td-lte-64gb/peru

A2017U: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/ny4lsLX/zte-axon-7-a2017u-dual-sim-lte-a-64gb/peru
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] matices:
If in my case the blockade can be by hardware there is nothing I can do.

I understand the subject. I already tested with chips from several operators in my country, none of them recognizes 4g on my phone, even clear.

That's why I go to the experts of xda.

Bands LTE Perú :

Movistar : band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) Band 28 (700 MHz)

Claro : band 2 (1900 MHz) Band 28 (700 MHz)

Entel : band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) band 28 (700 MHz)

Bitel : band 8 (900 MHz) band 2 (1900 MHz)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JTruj1ll0923:
Also, as is the case with some carriers in the United States, you may have the necessary bands but it may not be permitted on their network. They can choose which phones to allow and which to not allow.

Also if someone knows where to buy on internet or in a cell phone shop in Denver, preferentially.

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] GaM3RAndroidIOS:
After 2 days usage, I can tell that they're a lot of improvements but something worst after upgraded to Android Pie.(I'm not talking about changelog)

===Improvement===

- Take less time to open apps(More faster than oreo)

- Overall performance increased(Before update I got 179K scores on Antutu)

- Faster rendering stuffs(NOT sure I felt it sometimes)

- Better Ram Management ( Adaptive battery actually restricted usage of unused apps)

- Bluetooth battery check on wireless earbuds or wireless headphone. ( I didn't see that on Oreo.)

- Lowest Bringhtness actually lower than before? ? (I can't confirm this.)

- And many more I can't remember ?

===Worst things that happened after update===

- Battery actually drained a little bit more faster than oreo. ( Even on screen or standby.)

**** the battery life is better after the Adaptive battery things identified the battery drain apps.****

- Mobile data sometimes shown no connection. ( I have S7 edge and it's got like 3/4 signal but in xz1 there's only 1 /4 signal or no service. ( I'm pretty sure about this)

-WiFi sometimes shown that connected but actually it doesn't load my YouTube video (Tested 2 times with S7 Edge and confirmed the problem.)

- Night mode actually cool but doesn't work right now?(It's new thing I know but just complaining about it)

Sooo if you guys find anything other than this you might wanna leave the comment so let me know the thing that you might notice like improvement after update to pie. ?

Thanks for visiting and read all of my stuff?

5- Flash Magisk

Done!

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] DashundDroid:
For me the best things in the Pie update so far seems to be battery life improvements. In previous 8.0 builds battery management in my XZ1 was somehow broken. It got massive drain overnight and even when I unplugged it in the morning, I only managed to get 3-4 hours of SOT during the day. Now with Pie it looks like this issue was fixed. Energy use of android system and phone standby is stated to be around 1-2% of the whole usage (previously like 20%) and the SOT is exactly like in the good old days when the phone was new out of the box. Today (with battery-priority stamina starting at 20% and all-time enabled mobile data, wi-fi and accurate location services) i got a massive 6h 23m of SOT. I'm very curious if this will become a typical score right now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fierio:
Hello, developers!

I'm a student wanting to build an application for android that allows for a non-rooted phone to have a firewall (Such as Netguard), then route to the choice VPN provider (such as OpenVPN).

One thing that everyone is questioning (including myself) is why nobody else made this yet.

So I have come to the forums to ask if there is some Android Kernel reason that is preventing people from making such an app, or if VPN developers and non-root firewall developers just didn't decide to make it?

TLDR:

What is stopping developers from making an app that routes from a non-root firewall to a VPN provider?

The abillity to alter iptables with a non-root device. If you're a first year student you might be done at the end of your study. But then we'll probebly have Android Twix and your software will be useless. I'd place my bet elsewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fierio:
I'm not worried about the version upon release, I intend for this to be open-source, thus be useful in allowing others to make and use this in the future, so motivation worries asside-

The abillity to alter iptables with a non-root device is what the worry is?

Why could I not, for example, take netguard and modify that to just build in more VPN capabilities?

As far as I am aware, Netguard sets up a VPN on your device, so the idea was to just set the VPS to a choice provider.

Perhaps I just don't understand IP tables well enough, so just let me know if that is the case.

Guys, This phone does not have an equilizer for some absurd reason. But by installing this musicfx apk, snapdragon audio+ will reappear. I know this is extremely basic stuff but alot of ppl seem to be having a problem figuring this out and hence i made this thread.

Steps:

1. Install musicfx as normal Apk View attachment 4642164

2. plug in headphones

3. goto music player

4. goto equiliser option

5. you will see 2 options (A) snapdragon audio+{or known as Equiliser} and (B) musicfx

6. select any one and press ALWAYS.

done!!!

Remember to plug in headphones first. There seems to be a bug that causes the equiliser to malfunction if headphone is not connected for first time when music equiliser is used.
