[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Monarky:
Question. I have never rooted my note8 it has all the latest updates from samsung I use to root my phones all the time but I never did on this one. I for some reason have tried every method to get OEM Unlock to show but I can not get it to show up. I have had developer options open for the last 2 months waiting for OEM option to show up. But it still hasent. I have owned this phone for a year now. Is there no way? I have tried the setting date backwards, But like I said I have owned it for almost a year and had developer options open for at least 2 months.

So you are on stock firmware without OEM

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
It doesn't work on the snapdragon models unless you use a specific factory firmware combination rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Monarky:
Yeah Stock Firmware everything is stock. But its not possible to install a factory firmware rom without OEM right? Its crazy how much the phone seems to be locked down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
No it's possible to install only official Samsung firmware. If you're phones the snapdragon SM-N950U version and you're on bootloader version 5 you can't root or do anything else at the moment until we figure out how to unlock the bootloader and we haven't yet. We've only managed to get root for bootloader version 1, 2 and 3 but you're most likely on version 5 now if you're on the latest firmware.. In order to get the OEM unlock to basically be like it's "off" is to make sure you either have no gmail account or any other account on the phone at the time if you do and you boot into download mode you'll see FRP is set to on meaning that OEM unlock is set to on if you remove the accounts by using the RESET option in settings and then go back to download mode you'll see that it's now set to off.. That's pretty much what that does.. And yes these phones are locked down like there's no tomorrow even T-Mobile brand which used to be able to unlock the bootloader are now locked down also and this is because of several reasons some being because of banking and credit card information being in the phone and then because Samsung wants the government and businesses to use their phones too but the government and businesses won't unless they're secured like hell which basically makes those of us who want to root and rom screwed..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Monarky:
Well thats too bad. Guess I will just not worry about it. This is probably the way of the future. Companies will just release phones that are completely closed source.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
They really shouldn't be doing this on Android though because Android is open source and we should be allowed to do it for that reason but unfortunately that's just the way it is.. HTC is starting to look better to me because at least they allow you to decide if you want to forfeit your warranty and root and unlock the bootloader but Samsung won't..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbedard:
HTC isn't making new devices anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Ok now that's fking sad.. Guess I'll look for that Nubia X because that thing is beautiful and loaded with features and that extra screen on the back of the phone for selfies is insane!!

[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] techntechtx:
okay I've got a moto Z-Force Droid Edition from Verizon. I did an update on the phone and now it's stuck in bootloop. It'll come to the screen that allows me to put in my password for starting Android and then it reboots to start Android and i get to see my background picture and then it reboots again back to the screen where it asks me for my password again like it's being turned on for the first time. I've got pictures and some notes from an app that I use in the phone that I need to get off of it. I do believe the phone came with encryption turned on and I never turned it off.my question is can I simply factory reset the phone and then use a third-party software from a computer to scan the phone and recover my photos and notes, or is the encryption going to prevent that?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] PKW57:
Greetings,

I have the Fi version of the Moto X4 Android One, running Oreo 8.1.

I do not seem to be able to allow installation from Unknown Sources. In my Settings menu under Security there is nothing about allowing Unknown Sources. Is there a trick to this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

~ Phil
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jhedfors:
I believe starting with Oreo, you get prompted as needed per application. You should not need to do anything ahead of time.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jhedfors:
Check permission on the app you are using to open the apk.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] PKW57:
Thanks!

jhedfors,

Thanks for the quick response. I will give your suggestions a shot. This is my first exposure to Oreo. My previous phone ran Marshmallow. Need to be able to sideload to get root, among other things.

Just FYI in case others are interested ... Although Android One is pretty close to pure Android, on the Moto X4 Motorola has disabled the option to format the SD card as internal memory. They have also disabled the ability to move apps to the card, only media can be stored on the card. Other than that I find this to be a pretty solid phone.

Thanks again,

~ Phil
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jhedfors:
An observation about internal space: I have noticed that LOS16 does have a fair bit more available space for apps than stock. I have not ran out of space with either though.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] PKW57:
Worked!

Thanks again!

It worked just as you described.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] abrfilho:
Wrong, moto X4 uses File Based Encryption, it's because of that the phone don't have the option to format SD as internal storage, Pie supports adoptable storage with FBE, but it wasn't working well on LOS16.

i succesfully booted into twrp using fastboot, trying to flash twrp installer for mi a2 inside a temporary twrp. but, when i tap install, and go to sdcard directory, all folder and file names are messed up. i dont know why. because of that, twrp cannot find any zip files becoz my files have been renamed into weird sentences leaving no extension behind it. but, when i boot to system, my files and folders still originally the same. thanks

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Akky_karan:
Because the data is encrypted...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Adairo:
this is why...

you can use adb sideload to flash something that will not be installed on sdcard tho, I used adb sideload to flash a zip that puts cerberus as system app
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KazuShi998:
sooo... how to decrypt it?? noob here
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KazuShi998:
ooooh... whats the command? adb sideload flash filename.zip?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Akky_karan:
actually me too faced that problem......the only way i think it can be done is by factory resetting....?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KazuShi998:
have you reset your phone? does it work for you? actually i already flashed stock my phone rom with mi tool, and installed the beta pie update. the same problem persist
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KazuShi998:
the reason i want to use twrp becoz i want to flash an audio mod zip, it's called viper4android. for previous android oreo, i did it using magisk modules. it worked perfectly. but now, everytime i install that module through magisk, viper keep asking me to install its audio driver, i click yes, then a reboot needed, but it still requesting it everytime i reboot my phone. does anyone know how can i install viper4android on my a2?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Adairo:
that's right, Viper4Android(Magiskmethod) is not working anymore on Pie. you can try to flash the viper installer trough adb sideload, TWRP->advanced->adb sideload->(start it), then go to your pc and run adb sideload filename.zip, if you get an error, try using PBRB or viceversa, let me know if you get Viper working on Pie

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

you don't need to factory reset... if you are just temporarily booting twrp.img, when you reboot your phone it will take the original (or patched) boot.img and it will boot normally, this is not a permament encrypted files bug
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KazuShi998:
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

unfortunately it's not working. it caused boot loop for me, the zip flash successfully, then i reboot the phone, open viper, it asks to install the driver, i click yes, then reboot, my a2 stuck on boot loop, the android one swinging things... then i hold power button and my phone restarts normally. but viper still ask for driver. no luck. is there a way to install this driver manually? with root access, i can copy paste the driver files in my system directory. i doubt it works like that. thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] FunkmasterC:
I have this same issue. Ran into a bootloop issue, fastboot flashed a stock rom so I could get into my system. My entire sdcard is jibberish names. Even as my data is restored from my google account, it continues to be all jibberish as per OP. I would've thought as I restored the apps, normal named folders would be appearing but apparently not...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
I faced the same it was fixed only after I flashed the latest (December) patched for magisk boot img. It first started after trying to flash twrp on pie. Bootloop fastboot flashed then again jibberish on any file manager plus camera was not recognising internal storage to store photos. Pc was recognising internal storage with again jibberish folder names but when I tried copying a file from pc nothing happened. It was only fix only after flashed patched boot like mentioned before
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xRinoax:
Hello, could you bettere explain how I could my encrypted file and storage back? I have the some problem TWRP + Pie but I'm noob...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
If you're on official pie the only thing u need in order to get access to your data is the stock recovery and boot image. You can download the latest fastboot rom (or the one u have if it wasn't the latest) and fastboot flash boot.img and recovery.img. you can find in the room section patched boot images for root with magisk. For start you can try flashing only that, leave the recovery and see if it boots. If it fails to boot I'm afraid you have to fastboot flash the whole rom (it's a batch file and it runs all the commands automatically - it takes long around 25 minutes) but I believe your data partition will be formatted but you will have a working phone again

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Also just a tip (correct me if I'm wrong) the data encryption on pie roms occurs the moment you put a security pin or pattern for lockscreen on setup wizard. If you don't the there is no encryption.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xRinoax:
Could you please link me the topic about Magisk patch? I already know how to flash the whole ROM :). Thank you a lot fort your reply.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

I follow this topic https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-enabling-cam2-gcam-android-t3868766 until flash of patched image but my file are still encrypted. Of course I can't install magisk because my storage is blocked. Any suggestion? :(

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I don't flash, only use fastboot boot name.img, maybe the problem is related to this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
If I remember correctly I did a factory reset after flashing the rom with the patched boot.img cause after first boot I had the same problem with storage.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xRinoax:
Ok but by doing a factory reset all data will be erased, right?

Hi everyone,

I had a couple of apps on my ols N95 that could save youtube clip after having seen it.

Is there samething similar for window smobile?

If you have TCPMP and Flash Video Bundle you can click on the video and "Save Clip."
[General Questions and Answers] Corrykid:
It works like a charm. You can also use some websites to download the video for you, and convert it to .mpg or similar.

really? i didn't notice that! I'm going to try it right now!

I prefer a direct download without using any web link... on symbian there is a fantastic app called Emtube that works really well!

I wish that someone could do a porting...

mmm maybe i haven't understood how to do it!

I have opened youtube on IE, selected the clip to save and than tried to click of save on the link of the clip and on the clip itself but no option to save.

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JurijTMC:
Okay, if Your device is bricked, decryption failed or 'Force Close' pops-up every second, You are in right place.

Because I'm not active here, just add those underlined words to bit(dot)ly/

1. Resources:

Rescue Package:

P2RescueXDA

OpenGapps:

GappsXDA

Magisk:

MagskXDA

ADB and Fastboot:

ADB_Fastboot_XDA

ABD and Fastboot Drivers:

MinimalADBXDA

Before You try to unbrick - install ADB + Fastboot Package and Minimal Drivers

2. Unbrick and install Stock Firmware

Go to Bootloader:

if You have TWRP use [Power] + [Vol-] + [Vol+] (Recovery) > Advanced > Terminal > 'reboot bootloader'

Plug Phone to PC and open CMD or PowerShell

run 'flashall - twrp.bat' and wait few minutes

Your device is now unbricked

3. If You've tried to fix something on Your own or want to do Super-Clean Flash

USB Debugging is need! If not activated, do it now!

In CMD/PowerShell type 'adb reboot bootloader'

type 'fastboot oem unlock'

I know, You for sure have already done this, but trust me and do it again

now type 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]' and 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' where [recovery.img] is path to Your recovery file

Your phone should automatically reboot to recovery.

check 'never show this message again' box and swipe right

[!!!] You are going to reboot to recovery a lot, don't ask - just do it!

after swiping right go to [Reboot] > [Recovery]

[Wipe] > [Factory Reset]

[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > F2FS

[Reboot] > [Recovery]

[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > EXT4

[Reboot] > [Recovery]

[Wipe] > [Format Data] > type 'yes' and press Enter on Phone keyboard

[Reboot] > [Recovery]

[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > EXT4

[Reboot] > [Recovery]

press 3 lines (bottom right, on nav bar)

check if there's no errors (red lines)

[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [System] > Wipe (swipe right)

[Reboot] > [Recovery]

4. How to flash everything

Method 1: Using TWRP Install

Method 2: Using ADB Sideload (faster, because You don't copy zips to SD)

To use sideload, in TWRP press [Advanced] > [Sideload] and swipe right

First install ROM.zip and GAPPS.zip

After that, REBOOT to system and set everything up (google account, fingerprint, blah blah blah)

Go back to TWRP

NOW flash Magisk and other stuff such as custom boot animations and other flashable zip's

Happy modding, wiping and flashing, friends :D:D:D

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pkadavid:
After a week of using the 6T, I noticed that my typing wasn't as accurate as it was on my Moto Z Play. My thumbs also were a little uncomfortable when typing for a while. I realized that because of the screen extending further down the screen on the 6T vs the MZP, I had to move my thumbs much more down the phone than before. After playing around with the floating function of the Google Keyboard, I found a position that is more comfortable (image attached), and my accuracy has improved as well. The keys are now in a more natural position, lining up right next to where my thumbs fall when holding the phone.

The other option is also holding the phone lower, thereby placing thumbs where the keyboard lies on this phone. The downside of that for me is that I have to shift my hands up and down the phone to get my thumbs to the top of the screen. Time will tell which solution I prefer.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if anyone else who is coming from a phone that had a much larger chin than the 6T has had the same challenges. It may be also that I'm just getting old, and my hands are less flexible.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dandrumheller:
This will be a necessity for me if I ever talk myself into upgrading my MZP to a 6T as well. My stubby, clumsy thumbs will have nothing to do with a keyboard all the way at the bottom of the device.

Actually recently got rid of nav bar for gesture nav on the MZP, and this helps in that scenario too.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
I just got my OP6T today and I'm pleasantly surprised by the phone. Maybe the screen is not as sharp as my previous U11 but the difference is quite small so I think I can live with that for now. The secondary thing is like the OP mentioned typing on the keyboard. I tried using the phone with gestures and even though its really easy to navigate around the UI, writing is just horrible. Space bar is so low that I have to hold the phone really low in order to right properly. With standard navigation bar everything is ok. Tried floating keyboard but its so weird to type and look down to see what you are writing.

Also it's so funny that everyone is chasing the 99% front display ratio but at the same time interaction with the phone suffers a lot and we have to find ways to go around obstacles created but those almost full front display phones.
