So after flashing the stock os and reflashing twrp, it doesn't see my sdcard when trying to flash. It also doesn't appear in mnt or other folders in the file manager.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
The data partition can't be mounted because it is encrypted from stock. You have to format it first. There is still no support for the sdcard and otg but maybe soon.

Hello, i have my phone Huawei P20 Lite wich is bricked with Phone Locked and FRP lock. I tried to write recovery with fastboot but always receive 'Command not allowed'. It's because my bootloader isn't unlocked...

when i want to power on it's stuck on 'Attention! Please install the update again'

If anyone know how to solve that, please leave an answer there!

Hi there :)

Have you tried to go to eRecovery through power on and Volume+ buttons?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] orpheum123:
Yes

yes, but is stucked on Huawei logo..
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] ars_chelsea:
Hallo there :)

Ok! So you can't really have an unlock code? Cause that would help a lot more... Anyway as for now from all cases I have seen you are telling me this is the hardest one. Altough there is one more chance that you should try.

If you have the stock recovery .img or a TWRP recovery .img you might be able to boot to it and do a hard reset which fixes your issue.

First download the adb tools from here:

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

Then extract it to a random folder.

After you have the stock or TWRP recovery .img just copy it to this folder and open it.

If you don't have the stock recovery, I have a link to it here:

https://mega.nz/#!SR9RzKST!dhXS0yC-p_SvWu-SYYLaop1aRFzSulLVrnSXCVVJiGI

Then press shift + right click on the mouse, it should show an option called "Open a Powershell Window here in case you have Windows 10, or "Open a CMD window here" (on windows 8 and below) click that and a window will appear.

Next, if you are on windows 10 and the window says Windows Powershell type ".\fastboot boot imagenamehere.img" if not and you are on Windows 8 or below type "fastboot boot imagenamehere.img".

Where "imagenamehere" is your image name such as recovery.img or twrp.img or usually on this stock recovery recovery_ramdisk.img.

It should boot into recovery :)

That way you can factory reset if on stock recovery of course.

Either way you gotta lose all your data right now, there's just no way around it without losing data.

Cheers and best of hopes,

AS

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skybronco:
Hello,

I have a strange thing happening. About a week ago my T-Mobile digits sim card would no longer make outgoing calls in my Moto E (surnia). It was on Lineage OS 14.1. It will receive calls and texts and the data works, just no outgoing calls, the calls just end right after they start.

I've now put the latest Lineage (unofficial) 16 on it and it still doesn't make outgoing calls.

Talked with T-Mobile, they had me swap the sim into a different phone (I should have thought of that), and the sim works fine in a Pixel 2 and Nexus 5X, but it does not work (no outgoing calls) in a Nexus 5 and a Sony Xperia X compact.

So seems totally strange that the sim works in some phones and not others, and the Sony is totally stock and doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

Hello Forum!

I bought a Galaxy Note8 Duos on eBay.

After one year I noticed that it originally came from Singapore and not from Germany.

So on CSC I have SIN/SIN/XSP instead of DBT.

Updates are not released there as regularly as in Germany.

How can I change the CSC number without rooting the device and Knox still working?

I have already tried to reinstall the device using Odin and the German CSC file.

But it didn't work. It remains on Singapore.

This question has been asked many times before, but all the answers don't work for me.

[IMG="Screenshot"]https://hoerli.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screenshot_20181127-135626_Settings.jpg[/IMG]

I have now by the Singapore Rome no disadvantages, but I would have nevertheless whole gladly a German one.

Is there also a good way to get the bull**** apps like Facebook & Co. To uninstall?

I don't need them and deactivating them is not enough for me.

Does it still work with a PC, USB cable and ADB?

- Hoerli :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
You may first find the newest german firmware adequate for the carrier you are subscribed to, then flash the entire firmware, not only csc, also use the newest ODIN version, that should work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jetbruceli:
Go to Sammobile and lookup Galaxy Note8 N950F and download the firmware. Once you follow the instructions, you will need to select the CSC that it comes with and NOT HOME CSC as this will keep your original csc. NOTE this will factory reset your device as normal with any csc change.

That's exactly what I did. But it remains with Singapore :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Hoerli:
I know this thread is a bit old, but does anyone happen to have a working solution in stock now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Braxos:
Simple if it is a multi rom and has the desired country code on the package. Install a sim card of the country you are/want and factory reset the phone at startup the phone will ask you to change csc to the sims country code that has found if you press yes to change it will reboot and boot on recovery and will apply the region/country csc of the sim card you have. After the boot up your phone will be XXX/XXX/YYY where XXX is the original csc and YYY is the csc of the sim you had installed.

Carefully you will need to reset your phone to achieve that so backup before doing it .

Hope it helped

P.S your desired CSC must be on the original package of the rom installed on the phone, aka a multi rom. Let's say on a N950F international unlocked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Hoerli:
Done!

I've finally made it.

My approach:

1. all data backed up

2. the DBT firmware flashed with Odin

3. the device switched off

4. factory reset and wipe of the cache and Dalvic

5. smartphone with SIM inserted newly configured

... it didn't work until here and CSC stayed on Singapore.

6. Dialed the following number over the phone:

*#272*My IMEI number#

7. DBT selected

8. At "Select type of Install" I have chosen "Sales Code Change"

9. smartphoea was restarted and deleted

10. after the new setup I now have DBT/DBT/XSP

Now I'm waiting for the Android 9 update.

Interestingly now the phone number *#272*My IMEI number# does not work anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
Note to self: the morale of the story is to start at Step #6 (after manually creating a backup).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Hoerli:
I'm not sure if steps 1-5 are necessary for step 6 to be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Braxos:
Insert a German sim card then reset the phone. When it boots up for the "first" time with the sim it will recognize it and it will prompt to change the csc to the sims country code (dbt) if you press yes then it will go to recovery and change to DBT CSC and you will have DBT/DBT/DBT .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Hoerli:
It's not working.

I tried it several times.

I also reinstalled the firmware 3x.

I also read several times on the net that you can't change the last digit without rooting the device.

I can no longer dial the CSC number.

There is always "Unknown MMI code".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Braxos:
Dunno mate what is happening. I had my note send to Poland for burn in on display when it came back it had DBT/DBT/XEU the only solution to change that was with the factory reset and a German sim card. On Munich service center from Samsung they flashed 3 times the german ROM and nothing was happening, after resetting the phone it asked on boot up to change the csc to DBT and that's it.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You haven't looked very hard. ;) In the Guides section, WTF instructions thread is one of the most frequent in this forum. It's clearly titled:

(WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)

"Frankenstein" isn't a bug. It's a procedure to temporarily convert to another variant. Either used to SIM card unlock a phone and/OR (in this instance) to get fastboot flash commands.

"WTF" however is an exploit to allow us to unlock the bootloader on early Oreo firmware. So you use Frankenstein (if necessary) to convert to variant with fastboot flash commands and then use the early Oreo firmware to unlock the bootloader. THEN, you can either convert back to to the variant you came from and/or upgrade to newer firmware. Some phones don't need this Frankenstein, if they already have fastboot flash commands. But yes VS996 does.

On post #1 of that WTF thread, you apparently ignored the

HUGE LINK FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS.

That's the link to post #193 of the quite detailed instructions, where all your questions will be answered... ALL V30/V30+/V30S on the planet can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. PRINT OUT those instructions and read them. PRINT THEM OUT.

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me ... I have this phone with which I am too well, but now the battery lasts very little. Considering that the detachment at 6:30 in the morning and I go home around 3, I find it already at 35% with the energy (not ultra) switched on. in these hours that I spend very little use, if not to listen to music with the player stock (I have all the files on sd card) and remove the 4g when I do not need it. I have the position deactivated always, the active only when I need it.

when I'm at home in wifi, I still do not last the whole day, but I have to load half an hour around 17 to be able to use a bit in the evening ...

I have this version: b505, which would be the latest software version available. Obviously all stock, without root.

How can I improve the autonomy? can I install a custom rom to help me? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
Hi all,

I've tried different methods to apply the November OTA to my Pixel 3, but so far none has worked seamlessly. Here's what I've tried so far:

- TWRP install the full OTA from Google (fails with a timestamp error)

- sideloading the full OTA from Google (same timestamp error)

- using topjohnwu's suggestion from his Magisk GitHub, which in short temporarily unroots the phone to allow the regular OTA process to take place, then before rebooting use Magisk Manager to patch the boot image of the spare partition (in this scenario, the phone won't even boot fully, it does boot but eventually restarts before hitting the lockscreen).

Is there any correct way to apply OTAs straight from the phone, without using a computer? If not, what would be the best way to update the Pixel 3?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Why not just flash-all (minus the -w) the system image?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
Because that requires a computer. I'd rather have a solution that would allow me to update on the fly; preferably, flashing an OTA through TWRP, which would then allow me to also reflash TWRP itself and Magisk. But, then again, this would simply be my optimal scenario - if it can't be done, I'll stick to flash-all.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Understood. I have just got so used to installing with the flash-all that is second nature. OTA through TWRP wasn't even working for a long time on the OG Pixel series, and putting the ~700 MB OTA file on the phone seemed like a waste since I only had a 32GB. Either way, permanent TWRP and Magisk are still installed directly from the phone and the TWRP .img fastboot boot needs a computer anyways so there is really no way to avoid the computer completely from end to end.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
Well, if I could apply a full OTA directly from an already installed TWRP, then it'd be as simple as reinstalling TWRP and Magisk after the OTA. I was used to doing this on AOSP-based ROMs like Ressurection Remix or CyanogenMod/LineageOS.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
No way to do it on a Pixel device (that I am aware of) since TWRP needs ran from outside of the OS. I seem to remember this coming up a bit when the OG Pixel first launched, and then it was just accepted to use fastboot boot.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
Yeah, there's something funky about how TWRP works with the A/B setup, because of the embedded recovery into boot and such, I assume. In any case, at this point it seems like I actually can get it updated using fastboot, so that'll have to do for the time being.

Thanks for bouncing off ideas with me!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Any time. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Last I heard flashing OTA in twrp is broken, but even if it is fixed as soon as you flash the OTA you would lose TWRP. So you still need a computer to boot to TWRP to install it and/or root.

The key point is you have to boot to TWRP before you can flash either it or Magisk.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
But that's what I was trying to do in the first place: booted from TWRP, apply OTA than flash TWRP and Magisk.

Which doesn't boot up, unfortunately. Not sure why.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Right, it is broke that way right now. It's hard to do because recovery where TWRP sits and boot are the same partition now. Touch one you touch both. So when you flashed the OTA you wiped TWRP out of recovery.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GryphonBR:
That's true, but when I'm using TWRP that's the runtime instance, not the installed one. So even if it gets overwritten by the OTA installation, it wouldn't matter since it would still be active at that moment.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Archangel:
I went nuts trying to figure out how to sideload the Nov OTA update through TWRP (was always easy with my OG Pixel) and then figured it doesnt work lol. Just did like was already suggested and took out the -w from the OTA and it went smooth after I updated my platform tools. This is the way I will do it from now on even if TWRP gets fixed which that looks unlikely.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dbzruben:
Anyone do it without using TWRP?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Yes, download the factory image and edit the flash-all batch file to remove the -w. Alternately, you can flash the stock boot image of your current os version and use the stock recovery to sideload the ota. Either way twrp will be replaced with the stock recovery.
