[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
This is not a One Plus phone. There is no reason to use the Gcam mod on any phone that has a good camera app. It's necessary to use the Gcam mod on One Plus phones because the software coding on One Plus phones is inept and literally the only way you can take decent pictures on a One Plus phone is to use the Gcam mod.

On phones by Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi and even Oppo (the parent company of One Plus) the native camera apps take much better pictures than the Gcam Mod because they are coded for the hardware on their respective phone models. The Gcam mod is not and never can be regardless of how many settings you tweak.

I have owned Nexus and Pixel phones and the Gcam mod doesn't take Pixel quality photos on any non-Pixel phone. It just makes One Plus owners feel better about owning a $600 phone with thoroughly inept software coding.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Itaintrite:
Simply not true. I have an S8+. GCam mod takes way better photos.

Not even the best example here, but guess which one was shot using Samsung's camera app, and which GCam mod. Lighting aside, one shot captured way more details than the other. More or less same ISO (50-60).

https://photos.app.goo.gl/mLVT93ypdsNUfWdz5

https://photos.app.goo.gl/hQYHGot4ijxrdrVk7

Samsung's camera app is indeed smoother and faster at taking the shots tho. But I always switch to GCam when I'm capturing still life.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
If you say so. Samsung is known for having one of the best Android camera apps but I'm sure a ported GCam app that wasn't made for your phone takes much better pictures.

I owned a $200 Samsung J3 that took better pictures than the $600 OP5 & 5T which is why the GCam threads for One Plus phones have hundreds of posts.

GCam threads for phones like the Mate 20 Pro never attract more than a handful of posts because there is no reason to use a GCam mod.

The Mate 20 Pro launched a month and a half ago and yours is the first post I remember seeing about using the ported GCam app.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] s3axel:
Found a thread somewhere with people pointing out that some of the older Gcam versions actually work with the M20P. You can find them e.g. At Apkmirror (the linked one ist the one that actually works)

Is there any HDR+ Gcam port for Huawei mate 20 pro? It honestly is the only feature I would need as apart from the image processing huawei's native camera app does everything pretty well (portrait mode for example)

HDR works really good on mp20.. try HDR mode..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] rakesh2002:
Huawei should provide manual configuration options for HDR. I am not comfortable with AI. Another disappointment is that there is no option for dynamic control of ISO and brightness/saturation/contrast setting for video in pro mode. Huawei, please make everything configurable.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
It is true. The GCAM mods are awful and result in slow photo taking, scewed white balance. Google Pixel 3 is no where near as good as the Mate 20 Pro for photos or video and I have both. Still struggling to sell the Pixel as no one wants them.

Since a few weeks I noticed the bluetooth switches on by itself and the ringtone turns on even if I always keep it on vibration (this happens especially when bluetooth headphones are connected). Does anybody have similar issues?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidXanatos:
When booting TWRP using fastboot, without flashing it to the recovery partition, eg. "fastboot boot twrp-sanders-r20.img", only for the purpose of taking a partition backup,

once done the device wont longer take OTA's!

That is IMHO a very unexpected behavior, as booting this way and keeping system read only should mean that nothing on the phone gets changed (well except the data partition if a backup is saved on these one).

One would expect this not to mess with the OTA process.

Now, this twrp at least: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-r7-t3694910 does, after some investigation i found out that it is mounting the oem partition writable and modifying it adding a .twrp file to the root. Since the OTAs are checking and patching this partition of cause they will fail.

Luckily there is a way out, you can reflash the OEM partition for example from here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/tutorial-fhash-oreo-8-1-stock-global-t3852967

that is assuming that you are running the first Oreo 8.1 update, if you had an other version when the issue hit, you will need to find the right OEM partition image for you actual build.

IMHO this behavior of TWRP is unacceptable and should be fixed in a new release ASAP.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKicKer69:
Agreed; received today a security update for my moto G5S plus (didn't root till i got the official 8.1 Oreo update) and every time i try to install takes me to TWRP and i keep it as READ ONLY (since TWRP itself says if u modify u won't b able to receive OTA updates) and... even without the modification i still can't get the update. this has to be fixed ASAP by TWRP
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
I did discover that if you keep the OTA files for older updates, you can re-run them to update the OEM partition. Unfortunately it only works one update generation.

I wonder if we just delete the .TWRP file if it can recover it. I'll test later this week. The OTA has a way to repair partitions
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKicKer69:
keep us posted man
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidXanatos:
imho 99% sure, it still will fail, the partition does not just have to be semantically unchanged it must be 1:1 bit wise identical with what is expected.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
I'll see what happens. I'm not a developer but I have pointed this out a few times to the developers of both TWRP threads, along with sharing these issues on the telegram group, but everyone else is focused on the latest custom ROM and doesn't care about stock, so the issues have fallen on deaf ears
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKicKer69:
in a nutshell how can i receive the last OTA security? do i revert to stock , install then root again? holy moly that's a lot of work
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
Unfortunately until they fix TWRP so it doesn't damage the OEM partition, you need a clean copy of the OEM partition to take the OTA.

However, there is a way you can prevent this, but it is a little hairy (you can't use any magisk modules). You can use the magisk app to patch the boot.img file that is from a slightly older Oreo firmware and flash that with fastboot, without using TWRP.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

Yup. Just confirmed that deleting the .twrp file does not fix it.

I've reached out to Motorola to update their Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant tool to support the official Oreo OTA which will allow us to download the latest full firmware file, which would give us the OEM partition to reflash before the next OTA.

I'll bother the TWRP devs again this week to get this unexpected behavior removed so we don't need to bother anyone in the future.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
Update: none of the TWRP maintainers currently have replied to me about this issue.

[MENTION=4854637]CheckYourScreen[/MENTION] hasn't been active for a while but hasn't responded to a few different attempts to point this issue out (Been over a month since first notification with no acknowledgement)

[MENTION=5321417]MasterAwesome[/MENTION] has a custom TWRP that is latest, but they're still working on it. They're our best bet to possibly get it fixed since they're actively working on it. They've also been made aware, but no response yet (4 days since notifying and it was a weekend, so hopeful)

[MENTION=7792500]GeneticEnginer[/MENTION] was notified today. They developed the first unofficial TWRP (3.1.1) and might be able to help, but not holding my breath

I've also contacted a few people who do unofficial TWRP ports for some tips on unpacking one of our existing TWRP files and fixing it myself. It may be the way to go.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
Hi guys. Final update. I've fixed TWRP temporarily. If we're not going to run custom ROMs, use this TWRP to backup. It does a bitwise backup of OEM and doesn't mount it as RW so it WILL work for restoring fully OTA capable stock ROM. It is NOT treble compatible as the treble compatible ones do weird things that I haven't documented.

I just bought a Samsung S8+ off swappa which just got shipped.

The seller tells me the phone is AT&T locked and he hasn't told me if it was fully paid.

Hi Gals & Guys,

I have tried to google, but did not find a solution. Maybe I am just missing something.

My MI8 ist the Global Version and I am ofered to download the Stable or the Developer ROM (https://en.miui.com/download-346.html)

But when I download the Dev ROM, it won't install, it says "Wrong Version".

I am on stable 10.0.3.0 at the moment and I am trying to do it the Updater way, just as suggested by the instruction on the rom page.

What am I doing wrong?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nonibot:
Hi all! Newbie here.

This has been asked before but I need to confirm a few things.

So I just bought a used LG V20 here in the Middle East but only later realized that it is an AT&T unlocked device. I have attached a screenshot of my device software info. It has all the bloatware and is running Nougat December 2016 patch.

I read that AT&T OTA updates can only be received if it the device has the AT&T sim connected to servers in the USA. I want my device to run the original stock ROM by LG and not a carrier one as such.

I searched around and came across this thread which seems to be the closest situation as mine;

https://xdaforums.com/v20/help/remove-att-rom-to-att-stock-rom-t3809173

Considering that I'm not a techie but I can run things with guidelines and the software version on my device is H91010l;

Question 1) Can I just follow the method Brian has mentioned in the thread or is there anything extra that needs to be done? I've read that some devices are blocked to have different firmwares loaded onto them.

Question 2) What kind of backup needs to be taken? I don't have any data on this phone yet so I have nothing to lose but I don't know how to take backups of system files if that's required. A guide on that would be helpful!

Apologies for the long post and repeated questions, but software help here in the Middle East is limited so I don't want to put myself into any trouble with a bricked phone.

Thanks in advance!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] RobertVanHagar:
Just follow Brian's instructions. You don't have to root if that's what you would like to know.

Just an #FYI, before some "Senior" member gets on your case, you may want to use the search option in the LG V20 forum, as well as the search option within the threads.

Use keywords, such as "H910 to us996 no root." If you use Google search, you can use something like, "H910 to us996 xda." You're going to have to read a lot, compare information on threads, look up videos on YouTube, but know that if language seems to be a barrier, you can ask. And don't be intimidated with some jerks on here. There are plenty of experienced and knowledgeable folks on this forum...but you also have to do your part in research and troubleshooting.

Hi all, my new phone which I have owned for nearly a year HTC U11 64gb had a fight with the car door and lost. Lines running down all colours so cannot see any apps or able to answer the phone when it rings I can unlock the phone as I have fingerprint setup but do not have USB debug activated. HTC have advised £120 plus any additional parts that may be required if I don not want to go ahead I have to pay a £27 charge for them examining the phone, but prior to even looking at the phone they will restore to factory.;

Is there any way I can get all my personal stuff off photos videos mainly and documents, when I connect the phone to PC it bongs once but there is nothing in My Computer, my knowledge of computing is very limited so need help please.

Also will the HTC U11 life screen connect onto the board for me to gain access and copy what i need and back up the phone, the U11 Life connector looks the same and I can buy the screen for under £22 delivered where the U11 5.5" is coming in at £55.

Hope you tech guys can help.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Kngxpn:
Size matters

The screens on the u11 & u11 life are different sizes. That alone will cause it not to fit... Working with mobile devices for years I will say there will most likely be other issues (cable, pins, size of cable/width) even if you just wanted to use a screen temporary for data transfer.. in the US a screen for a u11 costs $55-60 on eBay I suggest just getting the correct one for the u11 standard.
