[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] sjiamnocna:
Hi, I'm trying to get TWRP on my J530F (to install LineageOS and Gapps). Adb reboot bootloader results in rebooting Android. I've managed to get into recovery or download mode by holding buttons, but it's useless. Found something with heimdal, but dnf manager refuses to install it to my computer. How can I setup the TWRP? I use Fedora 64b.

Any advice appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] scroll-lock:
I have tried a similar thing with adb and fastboot using Debian, I was trying to oem unlock.

adb reboot bootloader on my J530G results in rebooting to Download Mode but fastboot never recognizes the device. I don't know if fastboot is compatible with galaxy phones.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] sjiamnocna:
I guess, switching the OEM unlock option in developers section may do the bootloader unlock. Had some luck with adb reboot download, which resulted in rebooting to download mode saying sth like "ODIN mode". I did some research, found more info about ODIN, heimdal etc., but after some time I gave up, cos dnf package manager keep refusing to install Heimdal, saying

Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides libusb1.0 >= 1.0.8

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] ceecrb1:
Hi I´ve got a spanish Qtek S200 which I´d like to flash to english.

The furthest I got flashing it was an error 160

I´m using vista.

What noobie error am I making!?

Currently is:

2.9.7.28 ESN
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] jawoliso:
Cannot upgrade using vista must use xp. I had the same problem as well on my dopod818, it shows error 260.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] TheGangster:
I had the same problem while using other PC.

It crashed my windows several times, so I gave up.

By the way, does anyone knows if the source of the upgrading tool is open? If it was it would be easier to fix the problem for those who are using Vista.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] ceecrb1:
Thats mental!!

and qtek or no other manufacturers have released a get around!?

I´m not exactly the only vista&Qtek owner in the world!

Just a shame my old laptop wont power up!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] paul c:
You won't be able to use Vista. Why don't you set up a virtual machine running XP? You can then run activesync on the VM. VMware is free, you'll just have to get yourself a copy of XP to install.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] rondol1:
I do agree, as Vista/Qtek user. But don't get your hopes up to high.

The released RUU's are device specific. I can imagine that the firmware upgrades for the new devices are Vista compatible, but our beloved Prophet is an discontinued product.... As long as there isn't a new official ROM, there won't come a upgrade RUU either...

But I do have an Prophet-RUU that don't crash with Vista (after changing the ActiveSync drivers) but it only works with a signed nk.nbf. It is useless or flashing any other ROM-file then the one it is released with.

I don't know how open those RUU's are. I'm afraid not to much, otherwise some genius would have modded one of them allready!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ssgunner20:
Received update last night as i manually checked. Proceeded to do update and after 10 - 15 mins finished but received pop up message saying update failed. What happened?

I can still see the base band showing N960USQU1ARL1 in my settings but why did i get the update failed message?

What can i do to re-do the update?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
IIRC,I think I saw the same thing on a previous update & AFAIK,the update was OK,just some inexplicable bug/etc......

However,if you still prefer to re-update,try one of the following:

1) Use ODIN to install the previous firmware & wait for the update prompt once again:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note9/SM-N960U/TMB/download/N960USQS1ARK1/244313/

2) ODIN the latest firmware again:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note9/SM-N960U/TMB/download/N960USQU1ARL1/250731/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ssgunner20:
Awesome, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Just a friendly reminder:

When slotting the files in the proper place on ODIN,use HOME CSC instead of CSC.

HOME CSC will retain your data.

CSC will wipe everything,akin to a factory reset.

Hello,

Does someone have stock system.img and boot.img images for Z500m?

Asus support website has only FOTA upgrade images.

Thank you in advance!
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] beachfl:
The images on the Asus website are complete images, not just update files.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] buck2502:
Hi beachfl,

thank you for quick reply. I have problem with my tablet. Its bricked, I can enter in fastboot but when I try to flash boot.img and system.img from zip from Asus support page error occurs with message about wrong signature. How can I flash zip file from Asus support page from fastboot?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] beachfl:
If I remember right, "fastboot flash" is disabled on this tablet. You're going to have to flash the whole system image. I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked just fine.

Put the whole system image somewhere on your tablet or the SD card. If the tablet doesn't find the image when you boot it up and install it on its own, you'll have to manually install it from recovery. Probably the easiest way to do this is to do a TWRP 'tethered boot' and install the zip file from there.

Hi,

So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w

The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.

If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.

Has anyone found this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Monolithus:
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] goljimir:
Please, i need help.

Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.

Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).

In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.

They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.

I can not determine the cause.

Does anyone else have a similar problem?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] PC295:
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:

Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"

However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] RyanHardy:
Isn't that bad long term?

"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

So far, I have not encountered any problems because of this.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SeaCheung:
So long story short, I wanted to build the ftdi_sio.ko module for the linux kernel of android based MiBox 1S. I was able to build the module but once I run "insmod" via adb, the system crashes and reboots (I couldn't see any error message because of this). Please could anyone suggest how to find where the problem is or whether what I wanted to do is even possible?

The device is running system version 1.3.88 rooted by the Chinese 360 root app. Kernel version follows:

adb shell cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.10.33 (jenkins@qh-dk-box-build00) (gcc version 4.7.3 20130205 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.02-01-20130221 - Linaro GCC 2013.02) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 16 00:38:26 CST 2015

As Xiaomi doesn't have kernel source release for MiBox (afaik), I went to look for the Amlogic kernel source for AML8726-MX (M6).

The closet kernel source I could find was from Stane1983's github repo amlogic-m6_m8. I'm using the earliest commit for 3.10.33 kernel version.

For the building of the kernel module, I pretty much followed a github document named 'Android-Build-Kernel-Modules-HOWTO.txt' by marco-pratesi. I downloaded the toolchain from the archive of linaro releases 13.02 which shows the same version of the android kernel above. I copied the .config from arch/arm/configs/meson6_deconfig and use 'make menuconfig' to add OTG_support and USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver. Make the module by "make M=drivers/usb/serial/". And then adb push the generated ftdi_sio.ko file to /mnt/sdcard.

For loading the module, I run

adb shell
su
insmod /mnt/sdcard/ftdi_sio.ko

Then the box freezes for 10 seconds and reboots...

So my questions are:

1. Is there a way to find some logs of insmod to know what's gone wrong? As the system freezes and reboots, I can't use the dmesg method normally suggested, can I?

2. As the kernel source is from Amlogic, could it be that Xiaomi created their own kernel that is very different from this one to cause this problem?

3. Even if Xiaomi used exactly the same source code, as i'm using the meason6_defconfig file from the repo, it is likely to be different from the one Xiaomi was using. Would it matter for just building a module?

4. Is it possible to recover the config file from the prebuild kernel? I counld't find /proc/config.gz. And modprobe has error "can't open 'modules.dep': No such file or directory. "

5. What else I can try?

Sorry for the long post. I'm very new to this type of work and this forum as well. So any comments would be appreciated.

- Yes. Fast charging is always ON

- Never. My battery lasts the whole day and I (slowly) charge it overnight. And I am either not in a hurry or good at planning my charging time

- Sometimes. I turn it ON only when I need it

- I don't care or know anything about it. I use default settings
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Airtioteclint:
Is there an option to turn it off? I haven't seen it. But anyway i use my old s3 charger for all my devices. I don't trust fast chargers. They kill batteries.

Slow charge really isn't that slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] paul_59:
Regarding fast changing killing batteries the charger provides a voltage to the phone, the power management controller monitors battery voltage and temperature , I would assume these have limits and will take control if outside of range in a similar way to throttling cpu frequencies when it gets too hot.

Under battery settings
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Caffeineshock:
Where did you find this setting?

I'm using "bad" cables for show charging but being able to limit the current and the charging state without root, like on Sony smartphones, would be great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
The option is in Device Care > Battery > Settings

Personally I leave fast charge turned on and use a bunch of different chargers with the phone, I just have Battery charge limit set to stop charging at either 80% or 90% (depending on when I think I'll be next able to charge) and try to start changing between 20% and 40%.

Using "bad" or cheap cables is really not the best idea, they often don't meet the USB C spec and could damage your device. Try to stick to high quality but low current chargers (Like old phone chargers) or disable Fast charging as previously mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Airtioteclint:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I charge when I want, as fast as I want. I leave it on the charger overnight, everynight. Have done it this way for years and will continue to do so. Never seen I'll side effects from doing it this way. I have too much of a life to monitor my charging speed and make sure I'm next to the charger to stop it at 80%. I like waking up to 100% and using it as I see fit through the day. YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ciaox:
Fast charging is set to ON by default straight out of the box. So youll think samsung has taken this to consideration.

Personally, i keep this off when charging with the orginal charger. I have an app called Battery Warner which alerts the user when over a set %. or if rooted it will stop charging and enable charging when it is under a %.

If i have plans to go out and the battery is low then ill throw it on fast charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bat0nas:
My 2 cents:

I think Samsung doesn't care much if battery will remain healthy after 2 years. They care now to sell as much Notes as possible with the "Fast charging" marketing slogan.

That's why it's ON by default.
