Hi

My ARB is still 3.

I tried to edit (as i always did) latest beta 9.1.10 updater-script in zip.

Then when i try to flash it, i have Error 6 in TWRP. What's wrong

updater-script was ok until 8.12.17, why not working with 9.x.x ?

If i flash untouched zip directly with TWRP, my ARB value will change ?

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] zzdman:
Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased an AT&T branded Z2 force. I SIM unlocked the device through the AT&T unlock portal, and subsequently OTA updated the phone to 7.1.1 (Ver. NCXS26.122-59-8-6, security level Sept. 1 2017). The phone thinks it is up to date but we all know Android 8 is available for this device.

I downloaded the latest update zip from android file host (NASH_ATT_OCXS27.109-47-14_subsidy-ATT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip).

I tried installing it in recovery mode but both ADB sideload and local installation types fail.

I tried Moto Smart Assistant but it says my device is unsupported. Screenshots:

Even the flashall.bat from the Return to stock thread didn't work. The fastboot commands simply hang when trying to transfer files to the phone (which is in bootloader mode).

The phone seems to be recognized correctly in the Windows Device Manager, and I already installed the Motorola Device Manager drivers.

I am stumped. I've rooted/installed custom roms on several android devices in the past, but I've never encountered one as stubborn as this.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Make sure you have the utilities.zip from the 'How to Return to Stock' thread unzipped in your firmware folder, which should be unzipped too. Might seem trivial, but for all intent they're known good and have worked 100s of times. Unplug your phone, close all prompts and the smart tool. Make sure you're using a 2.0 usb port directly from the mobo, not a 3.0 port or a hub port. Typically not an issue, but can be for some. Replug your phone and reboot to bootloader, verify connection with 'fastboot devices', and if all is set then run the flashall.bat

Feel free to post screenshot of your command prompt, and you can also post the output from the command 'fastboot getvar all' if it still doesn't succeed.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] HKSpeed:
The update ZIP file from Android Host is for the Moto Z2 Play (not Force)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Incorrect. Nash refers to the Z2 Force. It just happens to share a folder with the Z2 Play. You'd need to contact the folder's owner for a separate one to be made, but that's not necessary.

More importantly, attempts to flash these on the Play will likely result in bricks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] HKSpeed:
Smart Assistant didn't recognize that file I downloaded form Android Host. Instead Smart Assistant downloaded a different file and flashed it.

Android Host file: OCXS27.109-47-14

Smart Assistant (build # on my Z2 Force): OCXS27.109-47-17 (Nov 1, 2018 patch level date)

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Your firmware.zip and utilities.zip should both be unzipped into one folder, see attached. The only thing that might be causing a problem, maybe not though, is the fact that everything is coming out of a Temp folder in your root directory. Whether that is an actual temp folder or just a folder you made called temp it's not a good choice to work out of. Certain namespaces and paths are subject to environmental variables and permissions; a folder named Temp in your root directory would definitely qualify. Try renaming the folder and make sure everything is unzipped in there.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] zzdman:
Just a quick update: it looks like there was a hardware issue with the device; no laptop I tried (of 3) could properly communicate with the phone in both adb and fastboot modes.

I received my replacement from Motorola, and it was immediately identified by Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant

I have a Stratos with 2.3.7.0 stock rom. In this release you can save locations from the watch to can navigate to them later. I like to do geocaching and I want to create a location from its gps coordinates in order to navigate to it from my stratos. Anybody knows how can I do it?
[Amazfit] anox:
Possible, but not easy. :)

You would need root and some knowledge of Andriod file system & SQLite database.
[Amazfit] cesareogallego:
I hope some developer takes this feature as his personal project.....
[Amazfit] nhedgehog:
There is an internal app called locations. It lets you navigate to previously saved locations. You can manipulate those location which are saved in the database under

/data/data/com.huami.watch.location/databases/location.db

Some users claim to have got net.psyberia.offlinemaps running on the device. This theoretically allows to create and navigate to saved locations too (if a keyboard app is installed too). I found it very difficult to handle and really consider devices with bigger screen more useful to geocaching. The only advantage of using this watch for geocaching is: no field logs possible which gives the owner of the cache a chance to receive a proper log created on a sufficient device. ;)

Edit:

This ist the relevant thread:

The phone is on pure stock without root, The problem is media files(images/videos) received in WhatsApp keeps disappearing after 2 or 3 days. Does anybody face a similar issue? I have checked all the settings in WhatsApp and not able to find what causes this, Please let me know if anything can be done to prevent this.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] z1_nile:
Its a whatsapp bug search Google for fixes.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] aswinkr77:
It's probably a WhatsApp bug.

But is it only with media?? What about whatspp messages?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] scorpienez:
Whatsapp messages are there, Only the media seems like blurred out and its not available in gallery too.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] aswinkr77:
This seems odd. If the messages too were disappeared, then it was a whatsapp bug. But your case is different.

Have you tried reinstalling WhatsApp and restoring backups?

Have you searched the Whatsapp folder??

If you all these fails, try contacting whatapp.

If you want to use your medias(just a temporary solution only) then i recommend you to use any file recovery apps(Dumpster, DigDeep, Restore Image, etc).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] L3bowski:
Hi,

My Sprint Note 8 (SM-N950UZKASPR) won't update and is stuck on android 7.1.1. It's not rooted and the firmware has not been modified or changed.

There's a YouTube video titled 'How To Unbrand/Flash Official Oreo Latest Firmware on Galaxy S8/S8+/Note 8'.

This video shows you how to download unbranded firmware using SamFrim and flash it using Odin. The firmware I have ready to flash is this: -

Model: SM-N950U1

Version: N950U1UEU5CRK1/N950U1OYM5CRK1/N950U1UEU5CRK1/N950U1UEU5CRK1

OS: Oreo(Android 8.0.0)

Filename: SM-N950U1_1_20181101145253_mm0f6ctbhj_fac.zip.enc4

The guy on the video clearly shows him unlocking his Note 8 ATT to unbranded SM-N950U1 firmware.

Do you think It would work with my Sprint Note 8 or would it not work with my device and brick it?

If it worked would it receive automatic updates OTA as they roll out or would I need to flash it again?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersmee:
Hello!

I recently flashed my Moto G with the unofficial LineageOS 16 rom by allstargaurav. Kudos to him for his work.

I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP, flashed the rom, flashed Gapps,Magisk and started using it normally.

One night, after using it with the battery at 30%, I left it as it was and did not charge it.

The next day, I saw that it was not booting up at all. I plugged it in and the white led light started and did not go off.

The light was constantly on. I searched on google to no avail.

Nothing works and I have pressed the power button and power+volume down for more than 5 minutes.

I cant get to the fastboot menu or the TWRP, the phone doesnt power on at all so I cant do anything or get a logcat.

Please help!!!!

I also got the watchdogs boot animation. That is all I have modified.

Please tell me what is wrong and how to rectify it.

Please help quickly.

I am at wit's end and helpless. I should also mention that this was my first time flashing a rom on any device, but I followed the instructions very carefully.Before this the phone was on stock Lollipop rom, stock recovery and locked bootloader.

Thanking anyone who helps or even replies in advance.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersmee:
Also

Being unsure what the problem is, I also followed FabioSan's guide on unbricking the phone, but I got stuck on the part where we go to the device manager console as my PC would not recognise the phone no matter what I did.

Also, the warranty has expired long ago as the phone was bought in 2014 and it was only a 1year warranty.

Therefore, I am considering giving the phone to the moto support centre. I will also try replacing the battery as it may be a battery problem considering my symptom of the white light does not fit any hardbricked phone's symptoms. Will notify if it works.

Till then, please help and suggest what the problem might be.

Hi,

I have noticed the apps change on my watch at a nighttime, so when I run my finger down to bring up the 6 shortcuts (Airplane Mode, Volume, Battery, Google Pay, Cinema Mode and Do Not Disturb). However at night there are a few icons I dont know what they are, GPay for instance is replaced with another icon. They seem to differ from during the day to night time. Does anyone else's watch do this, or know what how to stop it?

So I have a clean setup. I just installed Tasker and Telegram. Telegram NEVER starts up automatically.

- I have said for both apps to "NOT OPTIMISE" on the battery settings

- Both are added to a "white" list on the close background apps.

- Both have been excluded from DuraSpeed

Irrespective of above being enabled or not the apps don't start on reboot. Sometimes - like 3 in 10 reboots Tasker will auto start.

Can anyone help? I just bought this phone and this is a deal breaker.

Hi,

Anyone got any suggestions or pointers for my question

I wanted to check if it is possible to flash the latest Oreo firmware directly to my samsung s7 that is currently running on 7.0? Current BaseBand is G930AUCU4BQK2

Basically what happened was that i lost all my contacts on my phone, I ended up downloading Dr.Phone to my laptop, which i used to try and recover my numbers. What i didn´t know was that dr.phone rooted my device which has caused me nothing but headaches.

I now want to flash my phone and get updated to oreo and have my phone working normally again. Since dr.phone did whatever it did to my phone I lost use of my finger print scanner, had to disable samsung health as it kept trying to open on its own, my phone is lagging and freezing constantly..

I just want my phone to be normal again and unrooted and updated.

Lastly my phone is an AT&T device, that i bought second hand in Dubai, if i flash stock firmware is it going to carrier lock my device to AT&T again?

Any advice and help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] craigde85:
I am currently downloading some BRA1 files that I found shared on another thread which i plan to flash to my device to start with.

I also plan to download G930AUCU4CRE4_Oreo.zip following that from another post, as i have been advised bootloader 4 is the best option to stick with and believe this is the right one but am not to sure.

i am hoping this will solve my issues and get rid of what ever rooting Dr.Phone did to my phone and give me a normally functioning phone again.

If you anyone has any insight they could share I would greatly appreciate it. Also if I am doing this right as I am a little questionable and could use the advise before i go ahead as i dotn want to end up bricking my phone.!!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sherlockjr:
Have had a stock Le Pro 3 since Dec 2016. No real issues prior to the last few days.

1. The device will only charge when powered ON. If powered OFF, the phone will vibrate once, the LED indicator will briefly come on, then turn off. Unplugging it and plugging it back it again does literally nothing--no vibration or LED indicator.

2. The device will not power on while plugged in. It will simply vibrate after a few seconds, then nothing.

3. The device will not connect to my PC for data. Have tried four different cables without success. It will charge from PC, however.

4. When connecting to USB and powered ON, the phone will vibrate and show the battery charging indicator, but will then hesitate slightly (battery charging indicator turns off), then shows the battery charging indicator again. Not sure if that means anything, just seems odd given everything else.

5. USB headphones do not detect/work.

6. The USB to 3.5mm adapter for headphones does work.

I've tried a factory reset to no success and have ordered a replacement USB C board just to be safe (it was $5 shipped), but am at a loss as to what to do. Tempted to let the battery drain completely and see if that puts everything into working order, but as it's my only phone, that seems a bit risky if I can't be sure it will ever start charging again while powered down.

Anyone here run into these sorts of issues before and any advice if you have?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] twistyplain:
A $5 board will not solve your problems. It will likely get you into deeper trouble because it doesn't support mtp and otg. It's only good for charging.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] yurtesen:
Your connector is probably damaged. You can try contact cleaner/lubricant on the connector. It may fix your issue. Something like this https://www.electrolube.com/products/contact-lubricants/eml/contact_cleaner_lubricants/

I use lubricant often on usb-c connectors even if they are working. Just extends the lifetime of connectors, the pins are really small after all so the contact surface is not much.

Replacing the usb-c board is not an easy task. You would need to remove the screen etc.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] runy:
Hi,

I installed this HU in my car a month ago and I still have not gotten it to work properly. My main problem is that the unit reboots randomly and does not turn on again.

I have tested the reset button and checked all the wiring. I have connected the 12V direct battery and the adapter for the steering wheel gives me the 12V ACC.

It seems that the radio goes into some form of protection until it suddenly decides to restart.

I really do not know what else to check. If I modify some parameter in the factory settings, it asks to restart, it only shuts down but does not turn on.

Yesterday afternoon it worked correctly but this morning it has not started.

any ideas?

These are my specs:

Car: Alfa Romeo 159 (2012 year)

HU: Xtrons TE706PL

MCU: MTCE_GS_V2.88_3

steering controls: Connects2 CTSAR002.2 + CTMULTILEAD.2 Patch Lead
[MTCD Android Head Units General] coronero:
I'm experiencing the same issues with my PX5 / CSN2 headunit from Klyde. Sometimes the HU won't come out of standby, the screen remaining black and buttons not reacting at all (but with LED backlight). If I had FM radio before turning off, it will start playing audio only in the background. Turning off the car engine triggers a restart, as if it entered some unrecoverable state.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
First...update the rom and mcu to the latest available

Try

Second...disconnect the connects2 and use the unit without that canbus to ensure there is incompatibility issues. Try

[MTCD Android Head Units General] runy:
Well, in my case the unit doens't start, nothing, no led, no sound... I think the problem is that the unit is not able to make a cold start after going into deep sleep

I can't update the frimware if the device doesn't start... :(

I'll try, but it is not easy because my car doesn't have 12V ACC so I need the connects interface to get the power.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kiru:
To test, I would do this.. Connect the acc direct to battery.... The deck should turn on.. Reboot the deck while it's on. If it boots back up... Then the above poster is probably correct. Your module is not working correctly and not giving a proper acc signal.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] runy:
The unit was connected with ACC wire connected to the Connects2 adapter. But yesterday I connected the unit directly to the car only the wires; ground, 12V battery and 12V ACC. The device started and worked fine. Turn off the car and five hours later the device didn't started. Today 20 hours later the device doesn't start either I tried to disconnected everything and connect again but the problem continue.

I think the problem is, the device is not able to do a cold boot after to turn off the radio. How to do a factory default reset? maybe this fix the problem.

I connected the device to direct battery and the first time worked but now it isn't able to start.... :(

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
download the global rom version of 10.2.1 from

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/received-9-5-17-ota-update-t3813192

if you boot is unlocked (finally) (after many days of waiting period)

put the 1.6gb rom in sdcard or otg

then using any good recovery ( i am using orange fox 8.3-2) https://sourceforge.net/projects/orangefox/files/whyred/

extract it and there will be recovery.img file

connact Rn5p in fastboot mode and boot recovery from minimal adb and fastboot window

fasboot boot (& drag drop recovery.img in the terminal window from extracted folder) and press enter ,

device will show MI logo, if your 1.6gb rom is in OTG drive then NOW is the time to connect you OTG before ORANGEFOX logo appear, otherwise it won't read properly.

for clean flash wipe /data /system /cache /internalstorage /delvik etc

then come back to install and from sdcard' or OTG flash the 1.6gb globalrom of 10.2.x once done

reboot atleast till MIUI setup screen

if you wana ROOT

boot back into recovery ( same steps) and

1. take BACKUP OF YOUR BOOT SECTOR, it may backup in your sdcard or OTG drive

and now flash the following

1. lazyflasher.zip (search for Redmi5 / note5A / Note5Pro on XDA) (its a small zip file)

2. flash magisk 17.1 (i dont recomend 18.0 since they have changed the script, and later no rcovery can extract RAMDISK folder from boot sector unless you RE-FLASH the whole rom.

first couple of boots may goto reboot but it should come to miui setup again.

if anything goes wrong,

reboot in to recovery again! and restore the BOOT sector, it will UNDO the lazyflash and Magisk

now, magisk 17x does say that it tries to disable DMvarity so try flashing ONLY MAGISK. for root.
