Is recovery.img same as vasishath's twrp?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nit_in:
I downloaded it from here

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405

(twrp installer zip, I don't know who compiled it as op didn't mention it)

or

you can download it from the folder I shared

I have been using this recovery without any problem.

Just follow the instruction carefully.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hanuraiga:
Already installed.

The rom is fast and smooth. Finally autobrightness fixed and can hide notch.. :good:

But, signal icons position is swapped. I'm using internet with SIM 1 but instead appears as SIM 2 in statusbar (see attachment) :silly:

Hope will be fixed in next build... Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nit_in:

I will try to fix it in the next build.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] binoysankar:
Does this mean it has the notification support like miui 10 beta 8.10. 18? Am on los 16, not much idea whats the notch implementation on miui pie btw.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nit_in:
no, Statusbar is not same as Miui.

It just means cutout configs are same as miui pie rom.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] binoysankar:
Can you consider it as a feature request to be implemented in Bliss rom?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_canov:
Hello everyone, today i tried to root my galaxy s6 (920f), and i could not find the activate the oem unlock option, i own this phone from more than a month now, bought it from a friend, has never been modified or anything, its pure stock phone, the only thing i did is to factory reset it. I tried the calendar trick (yes i followed every step exactly how they are mentioned here) , waited 2 weeks without turning off or restarting the phone, still does not appear, the phone was originally bought from service provider before 3 years and it is locked to this provider only until your contract ends, and when u put another provider sim card the phone wont accept it, but after the 2 year contract has ended u can put any card and it will work, so this is the case here, contract ended like a year ago and im using the phone with another provider card and it works fine, i want to root it so i can install viper 4 android, so can anyone help me, i know this and that about rooting and flashing and etc but still can you explain to me the steps like i never did something like this because the install guide in the viper4android topic is hard to understand for me, i have rooted a lot of phones before so i wont need help about that but never installed custom things like viper4android and that is what i need help for the oem unlock and viper4android

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] delvirtud:
I guess we are done for security updates. It has been right at 2 years. Sad thing is, this is still a great little phone. I am not in the mood to root and tinker with issues. I wished there was a stable ROM out there to use. I wished that LineageOS would pick this little jewel up. Oh, well. It has been a good 2 years of a small, but very informative community of X Compact users.

I am still searching for a small phone replacement since Sony does not make small phones anymore. Post here if you have any recommendations.

Cheers!

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] harryharryharry:
I feel you. I think I've said it before on this forum, but I really don't get why there isn't a lineageos build for this phone. Lots of sony xperia phones have official lineageos builds and there even is an unofficial build for this device (so it's not exactly impossible to build).

That being said, I generally prefer omnirom and luckily they are supporting this device. I've been on omnirom 8.1 for ages and haven't encountered a bug yet, so imho it can definitely be considered stable. Right now I'm using a self-built omnirom 9.0 (security patch level 5 november 2018) as a daily driver and for a pre-official build it is already pretty stable. Sony's 'Pie' software binaries (which thankfully they still provide) are still in beta, so coupled with the omnirom team efforts the stability will only increase.

Bottom line for smartphone manufacturers: Just provide what is needed for the open source community to flourish, it'll cost you next to nothing and will pay you back in goodwill many times over.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] mp107:
Next upcoming problem is the lack of support for the Project Treble in Xperia X series devices which at least may cause significant delay in releasing ROMs based the newer Android versions or in the worst case might result in stopping their development as the successor - XZ1 series - supports it. I hope developers will follow the Z5 series path as there already is LineageOS for these. And hopefully some Xiaomi devices path as there are devices which now have unofficial support of the Project Treble.

BTW, we should also thank to the Google for an unwise cycle of releasing new Android version every year which accelerates fragmentation significantly as its main reason seems to be to persuade people to buy newer devices with latest version of Andoid OS on board.

I suppose more recent Sony smartphones have been sold in significantly lower quantities than older ones (I read many times about Sony's smartphones poor sales numbers) and it might be the reason of a smaller community gathered around those newer devices.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] RTV_1974:
Software security updates stopped?

If Sony stops providing software updates after 2y, it means those of us with a Sony Xperia X Compact (F5321) are unable to add Work e-mail accounts as the Microsoft Intune app requires an Android software update dated May 2019.

This silly policy by Sony is preventing me from adding my work O365 account to the device and means I am very unlikely to buy another Sony mobile phone ever again as its usable life is 2 years max. I am actually quite raging because I like the phone -this is beyond stupid from Sony.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] bookworth:

intune sucks anyway.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
This device has pretty lackluster support even in the dev community as well. All it's really got going for it atm but fortunately we have Lineage 17.1 and Project Treble. I recommend flashing a new rom if you don't want to switch phones.

Huawei is launching the Mate 20 X in Germany.

I got the message today that it should be sold in Germany.

Very probably already on the 28th of November.

At the moment it is already listed at the technology markets "Saturn" & "Media Markt".

The price is 899 € Only the blue version is available.

I use a Samsung wireless fast charger and it's perfromed great, even with a small metal plate in my case for my magnetic mount. (Had to place the disc in the lower 1/3 of the phone but charging is fine, fast, doesn't heat up and the base locks into my car mount perfectly.)

[Asus ZenFone 4 Pro Questions & Answers] technouser:
I just bought a new Zenfone 4 Pro (much cheaper than the 5Z and better than the other 5s).

It's an ASUS_Z01GS, not an ASUS_Z01DS, which is strange, since all the support sites have firmware with Z01DG in the filenames.

Its firmware version is OPR1.170623.032.WW_Phone-15.0410.1803.51 (that's the one it came with) and there are no OTA updates.

Its Android version is 8.0.0.

I have tried using ASUS's official unlock tool to enable bootloader (v 9.1.0.0 and 9.1.0.3), however, both failed.

I've tried various rooting utils (TunesGo, KingRoot, KingoRoot), however, these failed too.

Is there anyway to root this phone (the GS model with the firmware I have).

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberBeaR:
Hey!

I would like to know how I can make a copy of an app I have installed and the data so that I can install it on another device and still have the same data. I tried using Titanium Backup but it didn't work very well, it created a 16mb .apk file when the installation file from Play Store is actually 52mb! After I installed with the 16mb .apk the app wouldn't run.

What should I do? If I can just export the data I think that would be ok too, but my other device is a Fire HD Tablet, not sure if it gives any issues since the one from my phone came from Play Store and not from Amazon..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SIMONcool29:
Hello to all of you taking your time reading this. I have got into some problems with my LG G2 D802 recently. More precisely: I have bricked it and installed a broken recovery. HELP!

It all started with me wanting to upgrade my LG G2 to android Pie 9.0 with a custom rom. So I found an all in one tool to root and install TWRP on the phone (I probably never should have done that). I quickly realized that inside TWRP only the upper half of the screen was working somewhat close to normal, and the lower part was completely messed up. That made me unable to install the custom rom I had downloaded.

ADB and Fastboot

I tried to get rid of TWRP by using ADB and Fastboot to install the stock recovery back on my device. I wanted to use the command: “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”. Though, before I even came that far, I had troubles getting my phone into fastboot mode. Whenever I executed the command: “adb reboot bootloader”, the phone just restarted and went back into TWRP. How can I enter fastboot?

This had been tried on multiple systems including Linux, Windows 7 and 10, with different USB drivers all removed completely between testing.

- - -

LG FlashTool (v. 1.8.6.527)

Then I went to try install a stock rom on my phone (which I had done once before with LG FlashTool). So I started the tool and put my phone into download mode. It got detected on COM41 and the flashing could start. I used the following files: LGD802_20130912_LGFLASHv160.dll and BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10b-SEA-XX-SEP-04-2013-32G+0.tot.

When LG FlashTool then reports: “CUST”, “Skip BackupGPT Partition.” and then “Waiting for reset 120 sec”, the phone reboots. . . - into TWRP. . . Sighs*. . . :(

I tried to shut it back down and enter download mode again while LG FlashTool was running. But after a while LG FlashTool just says: “FBOOT Check….“, then “FBOOT FAIL!!” and “Fail to get BOOT Complete Status. 00000064”

So is FBOOT = fastboot? If so, have I then messed something up with my fastboot then?

- - -

LG Flash Tool 2014

I also tried flashing with the kdz file called: Europe Open D80230b.kdz. But here my device didn’t even got detected by the tool. So I started searched for something else on the web, found nothing, and here I am.

I honestly don’t know what to do next. I know that one quick solution is to go and get a new phone. But that solution is expensive and what I really want, is to get my LG functioning again.

As I see it, the options for getting the phone back, is to fix either fastboot, TWRP(screen not working), LG Flash Tool 2014(if it not uses fastboot) or use this tool; SRK Tool 2.1. I just don't know how to proceed with any of this.

Any kind of help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello xda users :)

I wonder if I can use this to replace my Huawei P9. I am primarily interested in the phone, message (SMS) functions, Google Maps (incl. GPS) , weather and mailbox functionality.

For the rest (ie. Whatsapp) I want to use them on my Galaxy Tab S4, which I can't take with me all the time (hence original question).

Phoning might be a bit tricky, so I wonder what are you solutions to this? Sofar I thought about Bluetooth "headsets".

Thanks for any responses in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] pabgar:
This is a personal opinion but I think this would be like changing car to bike. You can drive both but it is not the same :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sancmat:
Phone is good (between the speaker and bluetooth headset support).

GPS works well enough. Not sure I'd want turn by turn in a car on it but it works.

Texting is fairly inconvenient.

I agree with the previous person. Can you do it? sure. Would I want to? not really. You would be better off getting the smallest cheapest android phone that supports the watch and just don't pull your phone out very often. Heck you could keep it in phone only mode (assuming that is supported) and only switch to the regular mode when needed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] rideti.me:
I tried an OTA of Android Pie tonight, this was from EE UK.

First the system update couldn't verify, so I had to hard power off the phone, on powering on it re-installed and loaded up.

I unlocked the phone from the lock screen and it went to "Android Starting" and after a few moments rebooted.

Now the phone loads up but I can't unlock it, I just get constant PIN incorrects. It's a software issue because you never get to the limit of pin attempts, or the forgotten password option.

Contacted Sony, they've heard of it numerous times today, can't do anything about it.

They'll tell you to use Sony Companion to backup and restore, which you can't do unless the phones unlocked. So basically demand a full reset all data lost.

Update at your own risk, maybe consider removing device pin before the update if you can.

It's a painful lesson, but backing up everything before doing anything is a must, even when doing something like an OTA update which you expect to work. I'm just waiting for a customized UK ftf to become available and will be doing a complete wipe which alleviates any unforeseen conflicts.

I had full backup, the corruption was in the pincode, therefore encryption control is lost. The backups are encrypted, I've recovered apps, messages, contacts etc.... But none of the appdata was recoverable without de-crypt.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Fulvio93:
I feel lucky: I used the repair function because I did not want to have all those small issues usually coming with a big OTA update. I did not expect such a big problem though.

Not to shove it in the face of all the people having this annoying issue, but I can confirm that with a fresh install everything is smooth and I haven't experienced any "big" bug as of yet. The phone seems even faster than with Oreo.

To be honest, besides the long process to reactivate the app of my bank, I don't even mind resetting all my apps every now and then, I noticed that it preserves battery life and performances. But I do understand that this may not be an option to some of you...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
TBH, I'm not so sure, about either. Having read yesterday that the Singapore fw only has the Amazon app as bloat I'm going to install it today.

My phone sound settings does not work keep getting setting has turned off when I try to gain access to sound setting. The phone has stopped ringing when I receive calls, vibration works , also the phone will not shut down unless battery drains. Any help?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SIMONcool29:
I think the easiest way to solve your problems would be to perform a factory reset and get everything back to default.

IMPORTANT! Before you start you should back up anything important (SMS's, pictures, files etc.), since a factory reset will remove everything that has been put on the phone after you started it the first time.

So, when you are sure that everything is backed up AND that the device has plenty of power (personally I recommend 75% or more), you can continue and perform the reset:

Go to: Settings - General.

Then under Personal tap: Backup & Reset - Factory data reset - Reset phone - Erase everything.

Confirm and start by tapping OK.

The phone will now start the reset. When it's done you can set it up and start using it.
