[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Syberclone:
So by now most of you have seen the DFU MultiDL tool by [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] only you had to switch from Multi tool to Miflash or Edl Tool.

I have worked out how to get Edl working in this tool.

First of all this tool was designed to run on Windows 7 so in Windows 10 it didn't seem to function properly.

So I set it to Windows 7 compatibility first off to see if it would work.

I had better results with phone detecting and saying connected instead of disconnect.

Next the phone needed to be booted into FTM mode if you are just flashing an Edl package, if your phone is in DFU it skips this step as per the instructions below.

Next I found it was better to place the Edl package within the MultiDL tool folders.

C:\program files > DFU MultiDL tool > DA > SMT > firehose and overwrite the exsiting firehose file.

Pics posted below show instruction (tranlated from Chinese to English) and MultiDL tool in flashing progress (sorry they are not very clear)

I hope this helps :)

I am trying to relock my bootloader to send my phone in for a warranty replacement, but EDL mode is disabled because I'm on B35. Can I use this tool to achieve that? I'd appreciate any help...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Syberclone:
Boot your phone into FTM mode to start the process, it should switch to Edl mode.

This tool won't lock the bootloader, however some Edl packages will have a locked boot image.

If your Edl is still locked try the Edl tool by Djkuz.

Start Edl tool as admin, boot into FTM to start, follow the on screen instructions then unlock then choose Edl fix.

You may be able to lock the bootloader with Edl Tool or use the Axon 7 tool kit to relock.

I hope this helps :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] parmar.saab:
This is the error I get in the EDL tool:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Syberclone:
I can't get the pic to show properly, what is the error?

Make sure you have the Edl tool in the root directory of the drive.

Eg: C:\ or D:\ for it to operate properly.

Can you boot to FTM?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
What happens if you use the key combination? Hold Vol+, Vol- and power. If there's a constant red LED then you're on DFU. Right after just use this tool and you'll get to EDL

But I don't get it? If you want to relock the bootloader, you'll have to roll back to B19. If you'll do so just flash the stock recovery and use a B19 package from ZTE US
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] parmar.saab:
Here's my situation:

I have an A2017U, that was initially running 15.1 and developed an issue that requires me to send it in for a warranty exchange. I found a thread to return it to stock, which left me on B35 stock with TWRP still intact. However, my bootloader if still unlocked, and I need to relock it before sending the phone in. I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to this, but what exactly would I need to do in order to relock the bootloader? I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
well, as a first you could respond to my question ?

If you can get into EDL by the key combination, then you're done. Just use a B19 EDL package to go back and you'll have fastboot there. After that, run the command to relock
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] parmar.saab:
That's the problem, the key combination doesn't work to get the phone into EDL mode (I'm guessing it's because it is disabled on B35). In essence, I don't have fastboot access. I tried relocking in FTM but get the error as shown in the picture.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
still you don't really respond. What HAPPENS when you use the key combination? Does it reboot? Does it stay black and show a red LED? Black with no LED?

Anyways, you can enter EDL simply by enabling adb and issuing "adb reboot edl" from the system. (or from FTM). it just seems weird that it would reboot, because usually the phone just goes into DFU when you use the combination
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] parmar.saab:
When I use the button combination, the phone shows a blank/black screen with a solid red notification light. However, I get no response on any commands from the Axon 7 Toolkit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=8621927]Syberclone[/MENTION]: Thanks for the recommendation to run the tool in Win7 compatibility mode, I have Windows 10 and the tool always shows as disconnected. I can use the tool to switch from DFU to EDL, no problem, but could never figure out how to use it to flash an EDL.

I'd like to point out that FTM isnt accessible if you're not running a stock-based ROM. In all my tests I was never able to boot into FTM on custom ROMs like LineageOS, AOSP Extended, etc.

However, if you can boot directly into EDL with the buttons, or can use this tool to switch from DFU to EDL, then access to FTM doesn't matter.

[MENTION=1019297]parmar.saab[/MENTION]: A black screen with a solid red light is DFU mode, you need to use the DFU MultiDL Tool to switch from DFU to EDL. EDL is a black screen too, but has a red light that will turn off if you use the button combo. In other words, it will blink rather than staying solid. Then you can use the Axon 7 Toolkit or Axon 7 EDL Tool to flash an EDL. Or you might be able to flash with the DFU tool, if you can get it to work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Syberclone:
[MENTION=7441667]AnonVendetta[/MENTION] No problem

It took me a while to work it out, a bit over 2 hours of testing and retesting using my Axon.

I didn't want to put it in to DFU to do a full test, however it worked a treat once I got it sorted.

FTM was as per the Chinese instructions not actually mine, apparently if the phone is in DFU the app will work accordingly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] moralsandvirtue:
aHey fellas. So I had my att i545 s4 screen finally break, but I had a backup from cricket first sch r970c. I use straight talk and i just popped in my sim card from cricket into att and it worked. So a couple months later I had the great idea to combine the phones, with the cricket screen. I wanted to know if I could still use straight talk if I put the board from the broken att phone into the cricket s4. And It worked! Skip ahead I forgot the passcode when i upgraded to the s5. Now it is broken and i need my s4 :'( So after resetting, I get the "Firmware has encountered an error when upgrading, and Man, I can NOT get this to work again now. I have used odin for years, and it always fails. Version 3 and a few others version. I have tried everything. Sometimes I get the magisck secure check fail : boot / or recovery / sometimes it says someting about the binary. It will not let me boot into recovery , and i have tried several. tried converthing them from disk to tar. I did the pit files, and the separate pda and boot etc.. nothing will work. Can I please have some help on this one? You guys are the greatest bunch :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
I'm not sure, but I think the firmware is attached to the board or is specific to the board. This is probably why you're getting an error.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] NiceBoiGagan:
I rooted my A8 with magisk and installed a module (that I don't remember the name of) and when I restart the device, it stuck in a bootloop. Usually I'd flash firmware via odin and fix it. But this time Odin failed and showed this when I try to flash the firmware:

<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

It was stuck on 'Get PIT for mapping' for like 5 minutes and failed. It didn't even showed anything like BOOT or RECOVERY above the id com as it usually does.

Now my device is stuck in a screen which says:

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."

The smart switch software doesn't seem to help as it can not recognize my device.

HELP SOMEONE!!

Update: While I was writing this post, I was simultaneously trying to flash something from a sketchy youtube tutorial via odin. Now my phone does not show the error. Rather it shows the 'Samsung Galaxy A8' logo and turn off. I don't know if its an improvement or not. But atleast now it turns off and not show the error forever and drain the battery anymore. I tried flashing firmware with this 'improved' state but still odin shows the same error.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mysa50:
Hello everyone i'm facing a weird problem i installed syberia os 1.4 and last 2.0 and my phone won!t charge anymore .

Of course i did a clean install (wipe system cache dalvik data and even format data) with right firmware. When in recovery its sometimes charging but only for a few minutes . when charger is plugged it says it's connected but can't charge at the moment. I have no idea what the f... Is going on. I also tried arrow os and same issue.

I have no problem with revolution os (miui based)

Any clue?

Edit: finally the same problem occured with ROS Time to get a new phone?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mpunkt:
Had a similar problem with a broken charger. Phone thought it would be charging but battery drained while connected to this charger.

I checked the chargers output and it was 3.3V instead of 5V.

I guess you tried different charger and cable?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mysa50:
3 cables and 2 chargers (1 brand new)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Aymericl31:
have you had a hardware problem lately?

Maybe you have to change the battery
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] joebens:
I have the same problem. Before I flash the SyberiaOS in , I was running a Miui 10 on my phone. The same charger and the same cable, won't work just after flashing of the new syberiaos. Icon on the status bar indicates battery is charging, but the charging led never lights up.

The cable is only for charging use, not for data connection. When I use a data cable instead, and everything is fine.

Obviously the problem is caused not only by charger cable, and also the syberiaOS.

Any other solution?

Thanks!!! :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ollie798:
Does anyone else notice completely random songs appearing in their Now Playing history?

I definitely haven't been within earshot of any of the ones in mine!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
The way the songs are detected can lead to false hits. It listens to background sounds and looks for the audio signature of a set of songs. I believe when the Pixel 2 came out with this feature it had ~100,000 songs in a database stored on device. It basically creates a "fingerprint" of an audio segment (or segments) for a song and if the phone hears something and it matches that fingerprint, it will show that on your screen. Sometimes it gets things wrong because sounds in every day life sound like songs. There are videos of people using electric toothbrushes, printers, scanners, etc that making whirring or screeching sounds come up as techno songs, for example.

Cover songs and songs that sample older songs can lead to false hits too.

[General Questions and Answers] bregaryevich:
Hi everyone! Before I describe my problem, I need you to know that I'm somewhat a noob when it comes to resolving and tinkering with software on Androids, but have some basic knowledge. I've look into all options and posting here is my last resort, please be patient :)

So recently, a customer brought in a

J320FN

. It is running on an older update

(J320FNXXU0APH1, August 2016)

, and a few days back,

after updating it to the lastest version the phone seized up

. The owner has pictures and contacts that he really want to recover. After surfing through some forums, I saw that some phones, when being flashed with stock ROM via Odin, don't lose personal data, and some do. Before I try to flash this device, I want to make sure I can flash the stock ROM and eventually save the data.

I've tried wiping cache partition, because that's what I usually do when encountering software issues.

Also, the phone boots to the point where

I can see the current time, and swipe down the notification bar

. After some seconds, the phone reboots and the whole thing just goes on.

So my questions are;

1. Do I flash the latest version of Android or just reflash the current one?

2. Do I lose personal data, such as photos, videos and contacts?

3. Is there anything else I can do, before flashing fresh ROM on the device ?​
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When it comes to flashing Samsung devices via Odin and whether or not the user data is erased or not, it depends on whether you are flashing a firmware that has an upgraded or downgraded bootloader.

The user data only gets wiped if you flash a firmware that has a bootloader that is older than the one currently installed on the device or if the bootloader is newer than the one currently on the device.

The user data does not get wiped if you flash the exact same firmware that is currently installed on the device, or at least, a firmware that has the exact same version of bootloader as the one currently installed on the device.

So you basically have 2 questions to answer.

1) does the firmware that I want to flash have an upgraded bootloader version compared to the bootloader version that is currently installed on the device?

2) does the firmware that I want to flash have a downgraded bootloader version compared to the bootloader version that is currently installed on the device?

If the answer to either of these two questions is no, then you can flash without it wiping the user data.

If the answer to either of these two questions is yes, then the user WILL be wiped during flashing.

If you want to try to save the user data before flashing the firmware, you can try finding a version of TWRP for J320N and flash it on the device then use the backup feature in TWRP to create a full backup of all data on the device. Then flash the firmware of uour choice via Odin, then the data can be extracted from the backup that was created via TWRP and restored on the device after flashing the firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] bregaryevich:
Hey, thanks for the quick response.

I tried what you recommended but the problem still persists. After flashing the current version, the phone did the exact same thing and started looping.

Also tried TWRP but there's an FRP lock, preventing me from flashing it.

Now that the stock rom flash thing failed, guess there's only TWRP left. I did FRP unlocks before, but not on phones that are soft bricked. Is there anyway around it except wiping all data?

I may have forgot to mention, that the phone indeed has a passcode. And god knows what did the owner install/do with the device, that made ot to seize up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] chadvavra:
I have and love a Kaiser. Right now I have a Dutty Rom on it and love it as I commute, on a train, about 3 hours a day.

Anyway, I made a bet (6 pack of beer) that I can use an Athena for a week instead of the Kaiser. [We have one that sits unused in our office]. I have the Black Rom on it and wasn't overly excited when I made the change.

What should I install to ease my life and win my bet?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Goatmaster:
Use TCMP for videos, the Athena has a nice big screen. Both the NetFront pre release and Opera leaked alphas are good for browsing the internet. I would recommend using RealVGA if you would like to really utilize the large screen, 96 DPI is awesome. Compared to the Kaiser the Athena has a bigger screen, more storage and at least on paper a faster processor. I personally use a software keyboard and ditch the magnetic one to reduce to size of the Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] chadvavra:
does the RealVGA thing work on the kaiser also?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] raskell:
No, Kaiser isn't a VGA device and if it were, the 400MHz Qualcom would struggle. It would probably be dog slow.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
what a stupid bet

Well ok, I no longer have an Athena and I got rid of my TyTn 2 after a week so perhaps it's not my place to comment..

BUT WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BET IS THIS????

Fine, the Athena is a bit big, but what the hell is your problem with applications? IT'S THE SAME OPERATING SYSTEM so it shouldn't be much of a hardship unless you're an absolute doink.

Perhaps a better challenge might have been to live with a Motorola StarTAC for a week....or even a Nokia 6210.

Tsk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] tootallk2000:
I was thinking the same thing as you, but in less words. Anyway Leoni when are you going to come back on the "wm" side of the world, i'm sure you miss the touch screen. Symbian...tsktsk! lol
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
Hmmmm not so sure. Maligned as it might be I can't help but love the old N95 classic. I've got an 8gb card for it and it's the most satisfying phone I've ever used....still. it even has embedded flash support and an accelerometer so the screen rotates automatically when i turn the phone.

Unfortunately there's nothing in the Windows Mobile world to touch it yet - I'm very much a multimedia guy and there's nothing comes close to the carl zeiss optics of the N95, the 30fps video, the flash support, the hardware acceleration, the huge array of multimedia applications and (finally) proper GPS support with Garmin XT or Route66.

The nearest phone to the N95 in the windows mobile world is probably the TyTn 2 and i'll never go back to that again:it's an inferior toy in comparison.

I'd wager a bet you can't list five things i'd do on a Kaser that I can't do on an N95 (aside from the obvious outlook calender issue which is not an issue for someone like me who doesn't use outlook)

one day i'll be back though no doubt.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] c1oudrs:
leoni1980 maybe you could be more specific. What do you do with your Kaiser and why do you like it? Why weren't you happy with the black rom on the Athena? Why is there an expectation of hardship/w Athena?

You said that there was a train commute. So . . .your thinking entertainment? To "ease your life,"; since we know nothing about you or your life that's a hard one. Don't you think?

In general: Windows mobile devices are all-in-one mobile devices that do alot of things ok/good. In my opinion, they rarely do anything specificly the best. Read e-books--likely the kindle does it better. Listen to music--buy an ipod. Surf the net--desktop or laptops are more powerful. And so on.

So you need to figure what it is you like to do. Then evaluate whether windows mobile fits your needs. Then tweak the Athena in that direction with hardware and/or software.

Seems alot of work for one week.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] c1oudrs:
If I had a three hour commute, I'd surf the one-day deal sites, & winmobile/news sites. I'd read e-books, listen to music and do writing. Maybe listen to sleepy music/set my alarm and take a nap. I don't even use the phone side, rarely watch movies,have no use for a pim.

Another guy would want to chat on the phone, and watch tv. Still another guy would want to sms, play games . . .

Keep track of your time, finances, diet, movie collection, appointments . . . Facebook, chatrooms, twitter, look at porn, read the Bible . . .

I mean . . . you can do all kinds of things. :)

OK so I'm on t mobile and t mobile has an offer that if you trade an eligible device is free in 2 years of credit... The device I own is the oneplus 5t is it really that much of an upgrade? And other question it states on paper that oneplus 6t have 6.4 screen,but is that with notch our without notch? And if is with notch and I hide it how much display I have left?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Just guessing the hidden notch effectively reduces the display to about 6".

Also,due to the tall aspect ratio (19.5:9) ,I find some content clipped on the sides. Usually text content in articles,it's a sign mfgs have went too far in exceeding the 18:9 display ratio.

If you're good w/the camera on the OP5T,I'd say stick with what you have.

One thing worthy of mentioning:

The OP6T lacks an LED Notification,that alone sux,no bug-free solution/alternative is available less root.

Yeah,these things can be overcome via various modifications,but,if you keep your phone stock/unrooted,I'd definitely recommend keeping what you have.

I'm rooted version 9.0.5.l, and I want to uninstall some system apps like contacts. Then replace them with their Google counterparts.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
I'd be careful of what you uninstall as some of the system apps are connected to the others and could end up with a big mess.

ADB is your friend it that's the path you want to go down.

1. connect device, make sure ADB is working (check with CMD "adb devices")

2. go to shell, using CMD "adb shell"

3. get list of install packages using CMD "pm list packages" (use google to find out what does each package name means).

4. remove package using CMD "pm uninstall -k --user 0 $packagname" (e.g. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputdevices)

5. if correctly typed, you receive message "SUCCESS"

Optionally a reboot might be required.
