[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wael-HTC:
my device is locked & not rooted before

all i'm looking for Is way to root without unlocking the bootloader? I just want root apps, no custom ROMs.

I need to take backup for HTC one M8 before proceed in unlock boot loader , to describe the problem more

the problem is that to take a backup for the whole device , as far as i know i should install custom recovery APP "CWM Recovery , TWRP Recovery ,.........."

which need unlock bootloader in which all data on mobile will be formatted due to unlock bootloader

so is there a solution to backup the current device status to restore them back after unlock the bootloader .

First of all, you posted to the forum section for the M8s variant, not the M8. This is an easy mistake to make, and pretty common. In any case, see my responses below in red font:
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Tigerman82:
I've had a frustrating issue with my Sony X Compact for past months. Whereas before the touchscreen worked flawlessly, I'm now having trouble getting taps and swipes registered near the edge of the screen. For example, when I try to tap the first and last letters of the center row in my keyboard, it usually takes quite a few (more aggressive) taps to get them to register. If I use a light tap that would register elsewhere, nothing happens. Moreover, I sometimes have trouble swiping the Quick Settings Tile open. The weird thing is... When I do the Sony Support Touchscreen Test, I get zero issues and even with a light touch can clear the screen near the edges.

Now I've gone through the usual culprits... I've tried a bunch of different keyboards (currently using either 1C or SwiftKey). I've tried different launchers including the Sony one (currently using Nova Launcher). I've made sure I'm up-to-date in everything. I've try to adjust the Pointer Speed (Language and Keyboard menu). I've even tried a touchscreen calibration app. Nothing works. I've also booted to Safe Mode and made sure the issue persists there (it does). I haven't dropped my phone and am actually using a case and a glass protector to protect the screen (which is in mint condition). Oh and yes, I have made sure that the problem persists without the case and the screen protector.

I've done a bit of research and apparently many Sony owners have had similar issues and not just with the X Compact. Many link this issue to Oreo and I do have to agree that I didn't have any issues with the previous Android version. Apparently many have complained for months and Sony has given zero f... ixes. :D

Any ideas or advise? I can live with this issue for now (although typing is at times annoying) as I plan to upgrade to either XZ2 Compact (if good enough deal arrives) or to its successor next year. Should I try to revert back to previous Android version or maybe try a custom OS? I do have some warranty still left although I'm not sure if they'll take this issue seriously.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dom_mitchell1:
I really have no idea what the problem is here. I used to be able to send emails fine when I had WM 6.0 installed. I upgraded to 6.1 which automatically found imap settings for Yahoo Mail. This was working fine to send emails until recently.

Now I cannot seem to send emails at all but I can recieve them fine over imap. My phone (T-Mobile Vario II) doesn't seem to want to allow me to set up Yahoo Mail using the POP protocol; it automatically defaults to IMAP and gives me no option. I'm using Pays WM 6.1 ROM (build 3.05) if that makes any difference to anyone.

It's getting very frustrating not being able to send emails when I've just read an urgent one I've received!

Current settings are:

Incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com (with authentication)

(No SSL on either server)

I don't seem to be able to find the port numbers.

Any help much appreciated!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dgaud007:
I had the same issue with CRC's rom. I'm lazy, so here is what I did:

1. Delete the account you created (imap).

2. Create a new account, but on the email field write something like youremail@yhoo.com ...etc. (i.e. mispell yahoo)

3. Now it will ask you to setup the account manually, i.e. Internet mail, POP3, etc.

I use:

incoming -> pop.mail.yahoo.com:110

outgoing -> smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 (Required SSL)

Hope this helps.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dapopa9:
I have tried using the Auto Configure and tried configuring it manually. Still cannot send about half of the time. Very weird because it always worked fine until I went to the 6.1 ROM.

From what I read in one of the Kaiser threads from incognito there was a brief mention of a bug in the 6.1 builds were about 1/2 of the time the logon authorization fails. It has happened to me even on the new 19213 version. I don't know how to fix it at this point (if it's something that can be done after the ROM is cooked). I'm using PAP authentication for now, and so far, haven't seen the issue again.

[Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers] xdasamsung_s5:
Hi all,

I am planning to unlock the bootloader of my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus,root it and install a custom ROM.

But I would like to know how to unbrick it if something goes wrong, but without using of the test point method?

Could I unbrick it with flashing of a custom MIUI ROM with the MiFlash tool,without need of performing of the test point method?

And I would mostly like to know, in which cases of bricking of the phone I would be forced to send it to the service for repairing,so the techs would use the test point method to unbrick it?

I personally don't want to touch hardware!

Please give me answers to my questions!

Thanks to all in advance!

Best regards!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dio62000:
If you root you can't use Samsung Pay ever again! Make sure that is something you don't need. I rooted my phone because I want to use dual SIM simultaneously with the SD card, that's only possible with root/custom ROM, because Samsung blocked this in their latest updates.

Then, if you've installed TWRP (recovery) you can backup your complete phone (NAND backup) and experiment with different ROMs and settings (like Xposed).

And before you root or start flashing anything; make sure you have the correct model nbr.

Dr. Ketan's ROM is as close as possible to the original firmware (which is what I wanted). But you can debloat or add options with his ROM tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Before you do any of that, why don't you just set the phone up and use it as is for awhile. You can debloat it with adb commands without rooting it.

Rooting is not something a newbie should just go ahead and do.

Setup the Phone first and use it for a while, think about what you dislike while this time and come back to search for solutions.

For some reason my 6T has been having these annoying call issues the past few days. Basically 50% of a time a call works fine. However a lot of the time, during a call one of the lines cannot hear the other. Sometimes I can hear the person on the other side and they can't hear me, and sometimes neither of us can hear each other. This only happens with the 6T. Also sometimes the call randomly hangs itself up immediately after I accept a call. The problem seems to be the worst when my phone is in standby.

I've already tried:

- restart

- uninstalling magisk and twrp

- reinstalling the OS as a local upgrade through settings

- installing a different dialer app

- clearing cache from twrp

- upgrading to oos 9.0.6

- booting into safe mode

Hi.

I ve installed ubuntu on a partition and works correctly. But when I booted vista OS I saw tipical windows blue screen error after some seconds. Probably Ubunty moved a important file when resized the particions. Ok, I ve formatted vista partition (using ubuntu live cd) but when I try to install Vista the installer fails creating a partion. In fact the installer doesnt see any partition. Only the entire disk. And when I boot using fn+f3 (to recover vista) the screen keeps black and nothing happens after the question "all the data will be erased, bla, bla". I know the recovery partition is there because I can see it with Ubuntu live CD. Please, any idea? I am happy with ubuntu but I need vista or xp too.

ouch that sucks ... pof have you been able to dual boot and do you think that it's an isolate issue?
[Shift General] pof:
yes, he has overwritten the HPA because he did a wrong partitioning. I'm sending him mine so he can recover.

To avoid breaking things you have two choices when partitioning the Shift:

1) Understand how the HPA works in the Shift, so you just need to avoid overwriting the last 3GiB (3.2 GB) of your 40 GB HDD.

or

2) Make any changes to the partition table using a "dumb" system like Vista, which doesn't see the the HPA, so doesn't allow you to screw it.

And for really newbie people, the best is to use wubi-installer, which does not require you to modify the partitions on the shift, as it installs ubuntu as if it was a windows program.
[Shift General] koala996:
ok .. but there are many Linux that can be installed in the partition on Vista without needing to have 2 partitions... isn't it ? .. I don't know if Ubuntu is able to do it.. but I know that Mandrake/Mandriva could do it easily

yes, that's exactly what wubi-installer does.
