I've been watching videos and reading threads and installing drivers and I just can't make this work. All I can think is maybe I am required to root my phone? Or that the drivers are all invalid now that I updated to 8.1?

I have full android studio installed and the Google USB driver.

My goal is to control my phone from my PC.

Threads here seem either out of date to complicated by much more serious goals, like flashing etc.

I don't even want to root heh.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
What is it what you want to do? What do you mean with "control my phone"? If you have Motorola (not Google) drivers installed (and something like minimal ADB & Fastboot) you should be able to boot your device into bootloader mode and it should be recognized.

Like in the title, scrcpy.

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

I want a window on my desktop that is my phone in which I can click and such, which to my understanding is exactly what that app does. But naturally it cannot manipulate what it cannot see, and it sees with adb, and adb can't see my phone. But my operating system can. At least it says it can.

Update: Apparently I had not enabled USB debugging. Now I can see my device but it is not "authorized." I try to grant permission and get "because an app is obscuring a permission request, Settings can't verify your response." I'm working on that now, thanks! I'll make a new thread if that problem persists.

Update: It was the application "Tap'n'turn." Temporarily disabling its permission to display over other apps solved it. (Search for "display" in settings.)

Everything is now working :)

Howdy,

I bought an HTC Touch a month ago to replace my iPaq 2490. Everything about it works great except for the desktop passthrough feature that lets me connect to the internet when cradled to my PC.

With my iPaq, I could plug it into the cradle, open up IE, and surf to any website with the desktop passthrough feature. I also had an application that would download RSS feeds to my device when connected. Both of these features no longer work. The error I get when trying to use IE to connect is this: "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again".

The funny thing about this is while connected to the cradle with the HTC, I can check my POP3 email accounts without any problem. It also connects and updates my weather plugin, so there is an active connection, it just doesn't seem to work through Internet Explorer. Anything that uses IE to connect to the internet fails.

I've downloaded the Opera Mobile browser and I am able to connect to any website when cradled. Unfortunately all the RSS programs I know of use IE and therefore still cannot connect to update my feeds.

I don't believe it's Activesync related because if I plug in my old iPaq, the desktop passthrough works perfectly. I don't know if there's some place on my HTC to tell IE to use my desktop passthrough connection or not... I can't find it anywhere.

I've done everything I've read from various posts on the net, such as:

- Changed connection type from "Automatic" to "Work Network"

- Added the AllowLSP registry setting recommended to fix a similar problem

- Tried it on Windows Vista with WMDC without any success.

- Tried it at home without any firewall

- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in the USB to PC setting on the device.

- Uninstalled Activesync 4.5 and reinstalled from scratch

- Done a hard reset of my device twice.

If I connect via GPRS or Wifi, I can use IE without any problems.

You guys are a lot smarter than I on these things so I thought I'd give it a shot and post to see if you've got any helpful advice.

Thanks,

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] DriftorX:
Hello All,

Maybe i have missed this same question somewhere in the thousands of post and search just give random threads of rooting in general. My question out to all the TMO variant users that have rooted their 6T. I have not rooted any phone since the Galaxy note 5 as I just fell out of the rooting as most apps these days did for the most part everything I need. Some things cant but i lived without. Anyway.. To all those 6T TMO users and rooted. What and why did you root your 6T? Elaborate in like apps you used that needs root. Maybe if I get enough people listing useful items that need root and cant be done with an unrooted 6T. I may jump back into rooting again.

Thanks in advance..

O. if there is another thread similiar to this one regarding the TMO 6T. Please link it here.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Sadistic_Loser:
My List of Reasons:

I picked up my 6t on the 10th and i am currently waiting for my unlock token to unlock my bootloader, the reasons why i would take the time to root are as follow.

(P.S. Going to make this as neat as possible for those who just want a list of reasons instead of rambling)

Reasons:

=========================

* Magisk Modules

* Custom ROMs or/and Kernels

* TWRP Backups

* Kernel Auditor Edits (Battery Life or More Performance)

* Edit System files for what you need (Customization)

* Get the most out of what your phone can do.

* Audio Mods (Viper or Dolby Atmos)

* Adaway (I've never really seen in action but i think it is for Chrome or internet apps)

* Youtube Vanced (Non-Rooted users have this as well but with rooted users there are updates to the app right when they come out)

When you root your device you truly can do what you want, I use to own a V20 (LG) and had no what the **** root was but i came across it since my phone at the time was and lowkey is still trash but the point i am making is i was tired of waiting on LG to keep my phone up-to-date since it had a multitude of issues from hardware issues (Bootloops, Overheating, etc) to weak software (Terrible UI, Trash Updates, etc). Rooting helps me maintain my experience whenever or however i see fit, i don't have to rely on Oneplus (Although updates are fast) or even my Carrier T-Mobile, I control what happens and what exactly runs on my phone, not blindly allowing or even accepting that Oneplus or T-Mobile should know what is best for my phone; I truly set my own experience.

Apps:

================================

* Titanium Backup (Backup important app data to then import later from a data wipe or something.)

* Adaway (Takes care of ads on the Internet but correct me if i am wrong.)

* Youtube Vanced (Youtube Red features, except downloading videos.)

* Kernel Auditor (Control the CPU and GPU and much more, use it to underclock or overclock your phone to save battery or increase performance.)

* Tasker (Don't know much about this one but you can set useful tasks to launch or run to suit your needs.)

* Flashify (On the go recovery or kernel backups, use it to flash a custom recovery (Very ****ing useful if you accidentally lost TWRP) or even a boot image i believe.)

* Titanium Backup or some other system app uninstaller (Uninstall bloatware that you want off your phone.)

* Gravity Box (Xposed) (Don't know if it matters on Android Pie but it is used to add features that you want to add.)

* Magisk Modules (Get modules that you need or want on your phone that suit your needs or wants.)

Sure there are much more but this is all i got for you man, others will reply to you with probably more suited reasons but i hope i gave you a better idea on why it's good to have root. Like i always say, i'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Anyway, take care dude.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Koont:
Whhooooaaa. Hold your horses. Lol. The LG V20 rooted is a beast. Didn't even trade mine in for the promotion. The poster above pretty much covered the basics of why I will be rooting (forgot about the dual sim capability on T-Mo variant once converted to the international). Just got my unlock bin today (got this baby on Black Friday) so I'm ready to rock. Oh yeah, battery life. Saw a screenshot of someone had like 38 hours since last charge.

Viper4android, titanium back up
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] phillymade:
This is the first device I have rooted in years, and I don't see any advantage to doing so. However, I did unlock the bootloader so I could flash the international firmware, then had to root to use Magisk hide so I could use Android Pay. Outside of flashing the firmware, I do not see any advantage to rooting.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] GuestK00177:
I have the t mobile version as well and i wont go without root. I use it to copy new fonts, ringtones i create, and set as any sound. I change boot animations, every few days. I test other software within a rooted system. Just depends on your needs. Oh and the biggest advantages is viper. I use it and the op6 dual speaker mod. Not the one for the 6t. With root i was able to add a proper always on, the aosp version, and digital well-being.. plus its nothing to root. Or unroot. Just tested the 9.06 hydrogen os build and bc of root was able to copy stuff back to my standard oxygen os.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] phillymade:
For the speaker mod, do you have to install Viper for it to work?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] GuestK00177:
Nope. I got my own i tweaked a bit.. ill share soon
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Koont:
Substratum is working with swift black. Another reason to root. I have to have a blacked out theme.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
well, I've rooted dozens of phones in my life, but my last 2, the Note 8, and this one, I havent found any real need to root; sure I would like Viper, and yes, I want to use Subs to theme, but thats it..

This phone is fast and smooth as any phone ever, with the stock rom, and not enough bloat or anything like that to make me root to get rid of; also, the "custom" roms that are out there are really nothing more than repacks of older setups, and, I dont see anything in any of them that are "must have's" for me. And, there are a few custom kernels as well, but, here again, I doubt they make the phone run any faster/smoother/better than it does right now..

I got my bootloader token weeks ago, but, still havent even bothered to unlock the bootloader yet, as I see no compelling reason to have my entire setup wiped and start again from scratch..

I guess if you haven't rooted much in the past, it remains a novelty to want to do it, but for those of us who have used mobile phones for decades now, this one is definitely awe sum, whether you root it or not, and, I am in no hurry what so ever to root it..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bassic:
I'm not rooted yet, but awaiting my bootloader unlock token.

I love this phone and it's 95% sufficient without root. The only reason I want to root is so I can install AdAway. I have been using Blockada however it isn't working as smoothly as AdAway did on my Nexus 5. I have intermittent network issues with Blockada which aren't caused by the block lists that I have - I toggle it off and on again it will work fine. So root + AdAway it is for me.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Hello guys I need help.

My phone has been blazing fast and battery among others have been top notch.

But for the last few days, when I try to use it after the screen times out not too long, there is lag before it comes up whether FP scanner, face recognition or power button is clicked.

But when it stays for a while or overnight, it can take over 5 minutes or more for the screen to come up. When it does this, the fastest solution is to force-restart it by holding power button for long.

The phone actually works fine even when screen doesn't come up; music plays etc.

I haven't added new apps. The only new thing is the navigation app by xda which I've had for a while but I paid premium.

I tried uninstalling the app but no difference.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sinchan18.khatua@gmail.co:
Hi!

Follow the below steps.

Phone manager>Do optimise>tap on battery icon>Optimise battery usage. And dont let any apps to run in background. It will enhance your device performance.

Hopefully it would help.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Thanks for your response but that wouldn't work as I've already worked on battery management for the apps to no avail.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Update

Fixed guys!

So after the upgrade to EMUI9, it was still a bit slow though not as bad as on Oreo.

So, I went ahead and uninstalled the navigation app by xda together with the premium validation. Then I restarted but it was just a bit faster.

I then went into navigation settings and changed to gestures. I restarted and boom! It's back, faster than before and amazing.

Hey guys,

I have a oneplus 6red rooted with magisk and twrp running oreo 5.1.11, today I decided to enter twrp and reset my phone by whiping dalvic, cache and data.

After reboot, phone screen is totall dark but the light indicator was flashing constantly, entering twrp is no succes, twrp screen is stuck like more then 10 mins. I believe that I cant enter twrp to do something about it. I have downloaded the stock 5.1.11 which is an oreo version

Did I do really something wrong ? if yes or no please let me know how to fix this.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
Try bluespark TWRP and flash your OOS zip again and report back. Maybe a magisk flash will help too.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] abati:
thnx, I entered into fastboot mode, then from my pc I when into the fastboot folder to open cmd and boot twrp from there on my device, from there I followed a tutorial how to adb sideload and flash a rom from your pc. Now its working

But I dont understand why a simpel factory whipe through twrp caused all of this, I only wiped dalvic, cache and data.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tabletalker7:
This may be a side effect of A/B partitioning and no longer having a recovery partition. Remember TWRP is a part of the boot partition now

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] abati:
what do you mean, could you be more clear and specifiek ?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tabletalker7:
Use a fastboot rom. That will wipe EVERYTHING - and guarantee that you have a usable phone afterwards
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
You probably wiped system that's why you had nothing to boot into
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] abati:
i am almost sure that it was data and dalvic cahce and not system, that is what i also explained in my first post.

But how are you sure that it was system wipe ? did you factory reset your op6 multiple times without issue through twrp ?

phone is fixed btw
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RusherDude:
Its the easy answer, say that you wiped system or such.

If you wiped Data with Magisk installed, without flashing the stock kernel, you won't be able to boot, since Magisk stores stuff necessary to boot on Data.

Usually, people is stuck on a infinite bucle on TWRP after this, you couldn't even enter TWRP? that's new. The issue you're telling sounds like you changed slot in TWRP somehow to an unused one or something like that, never heard of that.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
Yeah I have wiped data in twrp with no issues. TBH it just sounds like there was no system to boot into. Wiping data is just that and shouldn't make the phone unbootable. Also you fixed the issue by flashing OOS which makes me believe this also. If you want to factory reset your phone the best way is to do it through settings.
[Android Head-Units] onagh67:
Hi guys

i have a Sofia 3GR Head unit that out of nowhere i decided to upgrade the firmware! :cool:

so i searched the internet and installed the first one i saw! "JOYING Intel SOFIA Android Car Stereo Software Update".:eek:

the process was too easy to hesitate!

after the installation i got a yellow error bar in top of the screen "UI and MCU does not match". (OS works smooth and fine though)

so, i started wandering in the web to find a solution :confused:, meanwhile i figured out that my old firmware was Ownice C300, and the Head unit is VoxX (according to the Web page that sells the head unit in my country).

i tried to download and install the firmware that page provided.

i think i have to enter recovery mode to install it, and this unit has a reset button that when i press it resets the head unit immediately! and no repair menu after 3 time! so no chance to enter recovery i think!

when i presses (Alt+PrtSc+i repeatedly) with USB Keyboard black screen appears that says:

ADPI mode V1

Sofia 3.0

error waite here ....

or something like that! :D i dont know if it is recovery mode or not.

the unit model is:

Quad Core CPU 4G, MTK

MT3561 Quad Core, ARM A53 (64Bit), 1.3GHz RIM

1 GB Ram

built-in 16 GB of internal memory,

and upgradeable to Android 8.2.1 Dual-Core

1024*600 resolution.

i liked the Ownice firmware much more, or at least the yellow error goes away in joying! :cowboy:

does Ownice has a easy to install Firmware like Joying?

any suggestions?

I finished the download but it gets stuck on 27% for a bit and then the installation fails. I've tried wiping the cache partition already.

-S9 plus Verizon (not using a Verizon sim)

-Non-rooted

-Stock firm

I've tried smart switch and it says "unsupported device". Verizon's program won't even detect my S9+.

I have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers for my device.

Seems like I need to use a Verizon sim so I could be able to update OTA but I'm not sure. What are my options?

Can I just flash the December update when it gets available on Verizon's webpage?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xMordekai:
Yeah, that's I'm thinking. I got it used on Craigslist.

How do I flash a pure stock Verizon S9+ rom?

I think something's messed up because Verizon software upgrade assistant nor Smart switch seem to work.

You have to download the firmware from a site like Sammobile, and then use Odin to flash it. check in the general section for threads on this, and I can try to help you a bit as well
