Congratulations Alberto97,

I am amazed where they came from ..

I rooted with magisk, installed havoc, android q10 o xposed, substratum, couldn't get miui, and had a boot loop because of an xposed module ??

Without access to / data it is not possible to remove the xposed modules.

I thought about removing the password, but for that it is necessary to mount / data ... security and delete the files.

I thought about leaving it without a password, but even so it doesn't mount / data, because the files are still encrypted.

I thought about making a backup in twrp and when there was a boot loopim I would restore the backup, but it doesn't save the data, photos ...

@ Alberto97 from which cell phone did you use twrp, or was it edited completely?

Can I go downloading one by one of the twrp and go testing what works, I try by brand, motorola, or by processor ??

How can I disable file encryption to see if twrp mounts / data?

sorry google translator
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkanet:
The new thing now is edge gestures on Android.

99% of the time, I hold my phone in landscape orientation; especially now that the Android OS natively supports a landscape desktop on larger Android phones. I'd like to hide the navigation panel and just use edge gestures while in Landscape orientation.

So... which edge gestures app fully supports landscape mode on Android? It looks like some apps don't even consider people use landscape on popular Android devices with large displays; even though, it's arguably more productive to multitask/split screen, watch videos, etc in landscape mode. Heck, I'm not even sure if Android Pie 9 will natively support edge gestures while holding the phone in landscape mode. I don't have Android Pie yet. Note 9 should get it in January next year.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can provide has a helpful answer.

BTW: I tried asking this same question in the Note 9 forum for themes and mods. However, after over 150 views without any replies several days later, I decided to post this same question in a General Q & A; since it's not a phone specific question necessarily.

I know there are dozens and dozens of people on XDA forums who have tried all the popular Edge Gesturing apps already on large Android phones. I'm hoping at least one person has attempted to try edge gestures in landscape mode successfully.

I have a Galaxy J5 2015 8GB, internal storage is a huge problem for me. How can I use microsd card as a internal storage? Or should you suggest anything for this? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] HMMDR27D53-3002:
Format MicroSD as 'adaptable storage' (or as phone storage or as 'internal storage'), but backup your MicroSD contents to your PC first before you format it as such. BTW, what ROM did you use?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Alseir:
Alright boys, let me tell you my story.

I have a LGH915 Freedom Mobile Version. And the rooting process looks like way too much work.

I went and bought a US996 and successfully rooted with Magisk.

Unlocked the bootloader

Rooted US995

Installed Alpha ROM 8.0 and converted my US996 to VS995.

I played around with Magisk and got stuck in a boot loop only going to TWRP, tried to restore my backup and didn't work.

Found the US996 kdz file and tried to flash with LGUP and it said my model is VS995 so it didn't work. Downloaded the VS995 kdz and flashed it.

Thankfully back to stock ROM but now my phone thinks its a VS995.

Now I'm not sure if my bootloader is unlocked still unlocked now or locked. I no longer have TWRP & I cannot flash back to US996 kdz.

Tried to root/unlock VS995 but I got denied

There is no OEM Unlock

I turned on USB Debugging

Was following HighonAndroid's Root Verizon LG V20 method and got stuck on

"applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta"

Screen stuck on: https://imgur.com/a/kcHPNt8

I would say permission denied and I can't go on further.

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Why did you flash a 995 rom?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Alseir:
I thought it was compatible and it worked fine, until I decided to play around with it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Oh well you play with fire ? you get burned should have waited for the LG 996 oreo release sometime in January

Do a search for patched LGUP and read carefully, it might help you get the device recognized as a 996 so you can flash the 996 kdz
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Alseir:
I have the patched version of LGUP, when I open it. It says

Model: Unkown

Com Ports 17

When I click select "You have to select a known model"
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Read through the thread I believe you have to replace a dll file so that windows will see it as 996
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Alseir:
Really difficult to find .dll files.

I tried using UPPERCUT but only allows me to flash VS995.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian84:
Hello,

I have an old phone zte v967s. I used it since july last year and bought a new one. Last week i gave it my 4 years old daughter to play games or watch YouTube videos. When i tried to turn it on it didn't react (it was perfectly fine when i stopped using it) so i flashed the original rom( 4.2.1) with flash tool and then I rooted and flashed the rom i was using for few years( 4.2.2) and youtube started playing the videos on fast forward like a slideshow, but the sound is good. I tried older versions but it didn't fix the issue. Playing videos in browser works fine. Can someone suggest a fix of some kind?

I have been trying to use a dual sim adaptor with Athena but would not boot with it on. Anybody had any success? It will be great for me to be able to use both 3 and standard without removing the sim. it is a pain to remove it on Athena as this is under battery and sometimes needs a flat screwdriver to remove it...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] toyfreak:
Do you mean dual SIM or dual SD?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
Dual sim of course not dual SD
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NordHesse73:
Well, i've got an old DualSIM adaptor (anlog) which worked fine on my Himalaya.

My Athena boots without problems when i use this adaptor, but it takes me 3 or 4 restarts of the phone to get the DualSIM adaptor changin the SIM.

But i guess i have some issues with my SIMCards, they really look screwed up, makes me wonder why they work anyway ;)

Maybe a newer Radio could have an impact on this Issue too.

Right now i use Radio 1.50 and AP Dual PK3.

If your SIMCards are screwed up the Athena won't boot, also my SIMAdaptor needs both SIMCards entered. With only one SIMCard in it, the Athena won't boot.

BTW: SIMDisplay (can be found on sourceforge.net) is the perfect Todayscreen Plugin for Displaying the active SIM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
I have one running but ...

finally I obtained a Simore dual sim working. But my problem is due I have one line for voice and other one for data, if should be possible to have some mechanism that in base to which sim is activated obtaining working the data connection or not. Do you know if it is possible?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sumtingwong:
Hi Beginner. Could you please post the model info of the Simore dual SIM you found worked with Athena? I'm currently looking for one. Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sumtingwong:
The Connection Setup Wizard will detect the network that you've just switched to and offer to set your data connection to match it. It'll do that every time the network changes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sumtingwong:
If you're looking to buy a SIMore dual SIM adapter for the Athena, DON'T. The SIMore dual SIM won't let you connect to WCDMA network so you won't be able to use HSDPA or 3G!!!! I bought one from them and in the process of getting an RMA to return this piece of junk back to them now. Their online ad is fraudulent when they say it's 3G compatible. It is not. It only let you connect to GSM which only offers up to EDGE.

Is there any dual SIM adapter that will let you connect at 3G speeds out there?

PS: If you're only using EDGE at the moment and don't think you will ever never for the rest of your life upgrading to HSDPA, then by all means, flush your money down the toilet and buy this expensive piece of junk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Thanks for the warning. Thought it was useful to have.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
no dual sim

shame there is none yet. it will be great to have a truely dual phone. Networks will hate it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
I think it could be posible but not easy to create a soft sim somehow. instead of having to change my three.co.uk hdspa compat sim between Athena (why the hack they do not do the sim reader as a slot accessible without removing battery) and my mac laptop is a nightmare. I tried to use Wifirouter, but it crashes athena quite often.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] techntrek:
Under the factory ROM I never had it crash, even with hours of use at one time. I haven't used it under AP4 yet. Maybe you have a conflict with another program?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
not installed anything apart tomtom 6 legal
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
Iam not sure what are you explaining.

are you using a dual sim system?

does it works? which is it?

thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
i tried using few none worked. I find very difficult in swaping sims without the add o a flat screwdriver, also removing battery is not fun.

I am wondering if it will be possible in developing a virtual sim card that will copy the info from our sim card allowing the phone to work with it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisislukas:
A few days ago, the display of my phone broke and became unusable because the touchscreen isn't working anymore. So i tried to backup my files and since i can't use my display anymore to unlock the phone I tried using adb instead. But at some files the pulling fails with the error code "(FILEPATH): remote read failed I/O error". After that the whole pulling process stops.

Does anybody know how to fix that?

I'm rooted with magisk and I'm able to use root in adb.

Hi,

Woke up this morning to the dreaded 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'. I have spent the whole day trying suggested solutions online all to no avail. At my wits end now. Any one with some magical fix?

Secondly, if i have to finally reset the phone (Sony Xperia xa - f3111) to factory settings, can i still use my adoptable sd card so i can access files on it? Thank you so so much.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yves596:
Hi everybody,

I try to root my Blackview BV9500 by installing first TWRP recovery. I use fastboot mode on a linux laptop to do that.

I successfully flash the twrp recovery image, but after that, the phone don't boot in recovery anymore.

It try to boot into recovery, but it reboot in normal mode a few second after.

I tried also with the cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img".

When i flash back the original recovery image, it work, i can boot the original recovery without any problem.

Does anyone have the problem?

Some one can help me to find a solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cj chitwood:
I, too, am trying to do this. I have not yet flashed it... I was going to use the fastboot boot command to boot the recovery kernel before permanently flashing it, to make sure it would work, and in my googling I stumbled across this post. Serendipity! [Edit 3: Although, reading your post again, I see you tried that as well and it didn't succeed for you. For me, it simply tells me remote: command not found, so how were you able to even get that to work?]

All that said... I have the BV9500 Pro, specifically for the two-way radio, so I'm going to try to keep that little tidbit of hardware working in the process. I mainly just want to tweak the menus a bit, tweak the quick settings, get root, delete the Google crapps I won't be using...

On to your problem, though, I can't help much but maybe if we post back and forth our successes and failures we might be able to stumble through it together?

First, I assume you already have unlocked your bootloader? [Edit: Honestly, I'm not sure flashing the recovery would be allowed without first unlocking the bootloader]

[Edit 2: Perhaps this thread might be of help. Different model, but often the hardwares used by manufacturers are similar enough that the same steps generally work. ]
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yves596:
Thank you for the link, maybe i need to flash the complete rom with the twrp recovery with spflash tools, and it will work.

I will try and let you know, but i will make a backup of my rom before flashing it!

For your problem with fastboot, maybee it's because you need to install it. You can use the command "sudo apt-get install fastboot" on a terminal window if you are on linux.

If you want to enter the recovery mode, you don't need to use fastboot, you can simply enter it by pressing Volume Up and Power buttons together for a couple of seconds when your phone is off.

When Boot Mode appears release all keys.

To flash recovery with fastboot, you need first to enable the developer mode on your phone (go to "Settings > About phone" and make 7th tap on the build number, the Developer options will be unlocked and available), and unlock the bootloader of course.

here what is the process i made to flash the recovery :

- i use the command "adb devices" to check if the phone is well connected. (response is like "BV9500S320001179 device")

- then i enter in fastboot mode with "adb reboot bootloader" (phone reboot and ask confirmation for fastboot mode)

- check with command "fastboot devices"

- unlock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock".

- flash the phone with the twrp recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

- reboot the phone in recovery mode with "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Normally the phone boot in twrp recovery.

Hope that will help you too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veronicadavis:
I am too facing this problem. In case you got any solutions please let me know too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cj chitwood:
Yup. Already had fastboot installed for the LG G5 this phone replaced, the Galaxy Note 4 the LG replaced, the MyTouch 4G Slide the Galaxy replaced, my wife's old Galaxy S5 I used in the interims... LOL, I've got a working install. No, the "Remote: command not found" was returned from within.... Whether fastboot or adb, I forget now, but I was able to get the file to flash eventually, after reading your first post, but unfortunately the phone would not boot to it (nor Android). I thought I'd bricked it. Twice this happened. Each time, after about 5 minutes, it eventually booted to Android.

I flashed the recovery from the ROM in the link Blackview sent me and was able to boot their recovery just fine, so there's something in the TWRP that my particular phone doesn't like.

Thanks, I keep forgetting which keys to hold for recovery versus bootloader, so I use the adb command to be sure without having to keep a notepad nearby.

Clearly I don't do this as often as I used to. :)

Now that was something I haven't done since the T-Mobile G1 days. My understanding was that you CAN boot a recovery without flashing it first if you"fastboot boot {image filename}" but that didn't work for me either. I'm also assuming that the filename to flash can be anything because the device stores it to a partition, so it shouldn't have to be specifically "recovery-verified.img".

The recovery you have... Were you ever able to boot to it? If so, would you be willing to share a link to its download source, please?

I've got to run for a prior engagement, I'll check back later.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yves596:
I guess i find the reason why the modified recovery image won't boot.

I find an interesting information in a post of osm0sis (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775) were he say : "some newer MediaTek (MTK) devices use special image signing that adds a "BFBF" pre-header signature, so images will unpack/repack but most likely won't boot unless run through their internal signing tool."

After more search, i find an interesting publication (http://www.lieberbiber.de/2015/07/04/mediatek-details-partitions-and-preloader/) witch confirm that.

They say in conclusion of the publication :

"Yes, I can confirm that SignTool is able to add digital signature information to firmware images. Signed images have an additional header “BFBF” and some fluff which SP Flash Tool checks on a secure device. Apparently some manufacturers merely used the default MTK key for signing the images, making them no better off than a typical insecure MTK device."

So we have to find another way to install magisk to root it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevphie:
Root 9500/pro

Mine rooted already....you guys can check on 4pda russian forum

Note : do not use the 17.1 version of magisk there because after reboot the device will freeze if you resboot after twrp 1st install...instead flash 17.3+ or 18+ right after first install of twrp...

EDIT : dont mind the russian language in TWRP as you can change it to english once there

- Copy Magisk-v18.0.zip and disable_encryption_9500.zip to external SD-Card or OTG device

- backup your data from internal SD-Card

- do a factory reset and turn off phone without entering the setup guide after reboot, or wipe via recovery and power off

- Flash recovery.img using scatter.txt with SP Flash Tool

- boot into recovery with hold down vol + and power

- switch TWRP to your language and install Magisk-v18.0.zip and disable_encryption.zip

- reboot and update or install MagiskManager-v6.1.0.apk

Hi,

I've bought this phone in Pro version. I rooted my phone using needrom.com/download/bv9500pro-bv9500-root/ and adb after unlocking bootloader. Then I failed with errors. Then I used SPFlashTool in root mode with official 2018092919_s32v63c2k_jk_pro.rar rom (I don't find it anymore on the net but 1) I got it on Blackview official forum and 2) I have the file on my own PC) with format+Download and replace recovery with TWRP from Jemmini from 4pda.ru before flashing. OK.

Then I rooted again: format /data with TWRP, then install disable_encryption.zip, wipe dalvik, reboot on TWRP, then install Magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot normally.

Beware: TWRP is in Russian language at first boot, so to get it in English, first slide the first slide (allowing writing), then select 'Настройки', then the globe on top, then English, then 'Установитъ Язык'.

Hope this helps.

Then, this is my first rooted phone, so I plan to make a custom rom without Gapps (then maybe without Mediatek Ones and agold too) and remake all functionning with apps from Fdroid. Help needed on a manner of removing a system/vendor app properly. Help needed too to add V4A, as I could see max version supported is Nougat. I announce this here as my first post, but my project will be a full post. If someone want help please ask here or MP me ;)

Note: an update of magisk is out (official 18.1), I installed it and my phone tells me a message that facial recognition was not working anymore then it only boots on TWRP... I reflashed it and my phone boots normally again. Wait and see...

Thanks to Jemmini from 4pda.ru again.

For all others who faces big problems like me (facial recognition not working then reboot on twrp only, I could reflash my phone with SPFlashTool, the rom and twrp from Jemmini/4PDA in russian only (others don't work for me). I used Format + Download in root mode on Linux. Then format /data with TWRP, then install disable_encryption.zip, wipe dalvik, reboot on TWRP, then install Magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot normally. Do other things. To remove gapps I disabled/force stop it before remove with TWRP. Others apps I can't disable simply remove with TWRP. I test if I encounter bugs but none for the moment.
