First post ever on this forum. :)

First of all, thanks for the great work. Device runs good and stable, only thing that's not working is the phone itself. The SIM card didn't get recognized at all, no service. With stock ROM it works just fine. Is this a modem/baseband issue with the C6903? I had 14.6.A.1.236 running, downgraded to 14.1.G.1.534 and from there to this PIE rom. Googled a lot about that but not found anything helpful. Anybody else got the same problem and/or has any advice for me?

Read now the whole thread, only found these few pieces about the same problem:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eurodiesel:
Mine is also c6903, I didn't downgrade, just went straight from lollipop. I rooted with kingoroot, installed twrp and after wiping userdata installed this rom. Maybe reinstall stock and start fron scratch?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] grave_digga:
Tried this but couldn't find an unmodded 14.6.A.1.236 for download, and updateing within lollipop gave me an error each time. So now i use another motherboard with unlocked bootloader and 14.6.A.1.236 on it, hope this works this time.

Edit: Works now like a charm. I think the problem was the downgrade to 14.1.G.1.534 in the first case. This first motherboard is dead now after trying to flash a rooted 14.6.A.1.236 image. Or is there any way to ressurect it? No LEDs, no buttons working. If there are any, please tell me. But hey, the other one is now working very nicely. my face atm ->

Edit2: Magisk does not boot into recovery. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
Your post is predominantely not related to this thread, but I'll try to help anyway:

1) The latest firmware for the Z1 device is still available. You can download it with XperiFirm, which comes with FlashTool.

2) You can try to reset your 1st device by doing a hardware shutdown: Hold <Vol+> + <Power> + <Camera button> together for 30 seconds, then connect your device in flashmode <Vol-> or fastboot mode <Vol+> while plugging in the usb cable from your pc.

3) About TWRP: What version have you installed? I use this one, and a reboot into recovery via Magisk Manager works flawlessly.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eurodiesel:
The answer above is suffient, but I'd like to add that you can reset by long pressing the small red button near the sim tray. The phone will vibrate three times.

Also download your firmware from xperifirm like mentioned but before flashing, in flashtool go to tools > bundles > create and "make" your own firmware file.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] grave_digga:
Thanks for the suggestions, but the phone (mainboard) is really dead. No button combinations work at all, didn't get recognized through USB. I think i really killed it. May be JTAGable in some way but i don't know how. I used also xperfirm, it created a file with 1,5GB, tried to flash this, did only start flashing and made no progress in about 15 minutes, i chanceled this.

Yes, i use the same TWRP Version, but i always flashed it "Fastboot flash boot *.img" instead of "Fastboot flash recovery *.img". I tried flash recovery first but didn't succeed because i used the wrong version of TWRP, after that i tried only flash boot because this was the only way to get TWRP on the phone at all. But it was always gone after flashing the ROM (of course). Thanks for all the advice, it looks like it works now really good. I'm an absolute noob with this stuff :)

Edit: Got the other mainboard back to life again with the help of this thread: Klick :)

Does MHL work on this rom? Sorry for asking but I don't have the hardware to test.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hasn4179:
Is the battery performance of the March update at least somewhere near the October one? I use the phone with this rom as my daily driver, but I read in the previous posts that the Jan update had poor battery performance.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bot1987:
I ve tried every single update since August and the battery performance is on pretty much the same level.

I'm a huge fan of custom roms. I like the awesome features of these roms... These are far better than the outdated stock roms.. only downside of this is that you loose the Xperia camera... It will be very thankful, if someone port the Xperia camera for lineage os..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] grave_digga:
This was also my first thought, tried a lot of APKs that should work but none of them did. But then i looked arround a bit and found "Open Camera". It's really good and free, check it out.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eurodiesel:
I didn't notice any significant loss of quality, and camera button works in google camera so it wasn't terrible for me. Plus xperia camera doesn't work with adoptable storage.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Kariamos:
Hi everyone!

Today I just found out that the update to upgrade my A2 Lite to Pie is available!

The problem, I think, is that I already have installed Magisk on my Oreo version to unlock the Google camera.

So is there a method or a guide to update the system to Pie without any problem? Do I follow the same steps for the usual OTA updates uninstalling and re-installing Magisk?

I could not find anything like this in the forum search, but if someone already asked I would be happy to see the thread and sorry for the duplicate one :)

Thanks for your answers!:):)

I tried to use the semi-uninstall magisk when updating from Oreo V9.6.11 to Pie V10.0.2.0 end up with a boot lop .

So what I did before updating from Oreo V9.6.11 to Pie V10.0.2.0 ?

1. Uninstall Completely Magisk from current (Oreo V9.6.11) - I have tried the semi-uninstall before OTA however failed to boot after OTA (bootlop) . Thus I did it this way .

2. Once Magisk Uninstall Completely , reboot .

3. Once phone turn on , Go to System Update > Check Update > Download & Install > Restart .

4. Now your phone is on the current patch of PIE V10.0.2.0 .

5. Open browser , download & install to phone - latest Magisk - V18 .

6. Download this patch to your pc/laptop

Download here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a4...zb4F0FiMTF_2hi

7. Boot to fastboot and boot patch.img that you download in No.6

8. Phone boot up , install magisk > direct install (recommended) .

9. You are now rooted on Pie .

Thanks .

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
To keep data just flash system image out of what ever matching rom you have after you Uninstall magisk.

Uninstall magisk, reboot to check its booting and magisk isnt installed, back to bootloader and install system partiton of corresponding current rom (only if needed, ie pie wont install). If you have to unlock/lock bootloader , before hitting enter keep finger on vol down and it should bypass data wipe, i always keep finger on vol down and press and hold power also and cycle the reboot process myself.

I assume it is time service/server failure. Now I can't trust my alarm anymore...

Question is how to protect yourself from such failure? Can we change server maybe to Microsoft? since snapdragon version has no root I don't have any idea.

Yesterday after crashing my, yoga-book(android) restart and showed me a boot menu with the following option:

*Device Manager

*Boot maintenance Manager ( in this, reset system does nothing)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] whitewolf03:
Hi there! I have a S9+ Exynos unlocked, bought from Germany and I'm currently using it in Romania with a Romanian SIM card. After installing Pie Update my Data Speeds went down a lot to a point that I can't even watch 1080p on YouTube. We are talking about a difference from 50mbps (Oreo) to barely reaching 200kbps (Pie). Expect all of that the update is great, lots of beautiful changes. Wi-Fi is same as usual (very good speeds, not affected in any way).

Does it have anything to do with the German version of the firmware? Maybe the modem file? I'm thinking about waiting for the Romanian firmware (android pie) to install it over the DBT.

What do you guys think?

P.S. I had the same experience when I first bought the phone, but I can't remember what I did to bring the 4G to its full potential because I did both install the ROM firmware over DBT and also did a factory reset, which I rather do not do again now.

Hi all,

I've had my Tab a few month now and works perfect, apart from the camera which today I found out gives horrendous grainy image quality.

Is it just mine are are others getting the same quality? I tried cleaning lens using out of the case, holding perfectly still and also auto mode pro etc, My S8+ wipes the floor camera wise.

Very disappointed.

I originally had the Galaxy tab s3 and thought that was bad enough it was so slow just to search the internet or open apps, plus the camera was terrible, I got the galaxy tab s4 off eBay for 249.99 free plus shipping brand new sealed. And thought there was going to be a huge improvement in the camera, I was wrong, the tab s4's camera quality reminds me of a cheap $29.99 ZTE smartphone. It's processer is a lot faster at least, but this tablet needs drastic updates. I complained to Samsung saying that you can buy the newest generation iPad Pro 12.9 for 699.00 refurbished on Amazon, an absolutely phenomenal tablet. And bestbuy still has this tab s4 priced at 599.99! There tablets I don't know what is going on with them but Samsung does make some killer phones! My Samsung Galaxy S10 plus is amazing. I own my own photography company and It's camera is as good as my professional Nikon camera I use for photoshoots. I hope Samsung releases more updates for this tablet soon!

LOL, I asked about security updates seeing as mine is on May security update and was told that it is "the latest and most reliable update"... Since there was a MAJOR vulnerability found in July I think the next part "Security patch updates are being sent out if there are potential security vulnerabilities observed, or reported. We take security and privacy very seriously." is sort of a piss in the wind moment from Samsung...

Their phones are updated pretty fast, their tablets are left out in the cold...

I don't think there will be any major updates to the software any time soon, especially as the Tab S6 was just released... You want an upgrade then fork out $$$ for the latest and greatest...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0257:
I recently upgraded my phone to Android Oreo 8.1 and I have noticed that there is a lot of BLOAT I wanted to get rid of. I searched online and found a couple of guides on how to remove this so I followed one which used Assayyed Kitchen. I had got the Samsung Oreo stock firmware and converted the images from the new .lz4 format to .img using the LZ4 compress / decompress program so that I could use it in Assayyed Kitchen. Then, I extracted it from the program and recompiled it once I was done debloating the system.img. I unlocked my bootloader from the 'Developer Options' and booted into it so I could flash the .tar file created from Assayyed Kitchen, containing the debloated system.img. Once I flash the firmware, the device fails to reboot and instead, reboots into recovery mode and gives me an error something along the lines of 'the data partition is less than 50MB'. When I try to reboot it from recovery mode, it shows the Samsung logo and goes into a blank screen, failing to load the OS.

I have tried:

- Wiping the data/cache partition before flashing

- Compressing the .img to .img.lz4 before flashing

- Deknoxing the system.img before flashing

None of the following have worked. I am not sure whether Samsung has detected that the system.img is a custom ROM and is blocking it from being run but I unlocked the bootloader so I do not think that it should block it in the first place. I would be grateful for any assistance, thank you. ;)

I have found an alternate way of debloating my phone using a debloat script. I did this by flashing a custom recovery (TWRP), formatting the data partition and then flashing Magisk v18.0 so that it goes undetected by the phone. Once I had done this, I booted into TWRP once again to flash the debloater ZIP file. Once I had flashed the ZIP, the device could not boot into the OS, yet again. I tried formatting the data partition and flashing Magisk again but to no avail. After re-installing the stock ROM, I repeated the steps and tried a different method. This involved using FlashFire to flash the ZIP file. I got FlashFire and gave it root access. I tried flashing the ZIP but a black screen appeared and the system rebooted. Then, I tested some of the settings, enabling 'Global' namespace in Magisk as well as 'auto-mount' and 'mount /system' in FlashFire, still to no avail.

I have almost given up on debloating my Galaxy J5 as it seems nearly impossible. Please help! :(
