Hi Jasjammin, A t this point in time I've used a heap of the wm 6.1 roms. I tend to like (for my jasjam) the PDAViet roms as I dont seem to get the hangups or hard resets I've got in other roms. I quite like the PDAViet rom series 19701, Its BLINDINGLY FAST and no problems yet. Mind you I only had it on a day or two, so.... As for the earlier versions, my Jasjam didnt like 19199 or 19202 but seemed to be ok with 19209& 19400. My radio rom is 154.30.10. Hope this helps... Cheers:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] e_gregious:
I've flashed about 10 ROMs in the past 2 months. Still can't find one I really like.

Best one I've found so far was Randomize's storm. Beautiful graphics and a nice fast package. CRCinAU and Faria also cooked some good ones.

Wasn't impressed with PDAViet or TNT - bit light on and bits missing - at least bits that I like. Probably work great for others.

Of all the ROMs I've tried, I have had no real hardware issues. Some missing CABs, but no hardware problems. Possibly also because I wait a while before downloading.

Oi bwesty, whats up? xda-mofos? now i feel nostalgic, ive been busy, very busy, new home, new divorce, new role at work (managements a biatch), etc, broke my motorola q9h, stepped on my iphone last week and cracked the screen, now im using my hermes which is barely making it through the day in the interim.

im using schaps at the moment but i find it slow (bare bone -no adidtional apps). would like to try a 6.1 to see how it goes.

looking to get a pda in the next couple weeks, tossing between kaiser and imate ultimate 9502. decisions decisions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] the_maker:
I've been installing WM since the day it was invented.. The really stable OS with not more software than needed is the New Build 19701 from Dvha79_ddt..

It looks like WM 6.1 is finally coming to the fast and stable build. That is the reason why the new rom's pop-up so fast. With every new build, the mistakes are being corrected..

try it, you won't be sorry. 3 days now, and works like a Ferrari :)

Hi,

I'm not a senior member but tried few roms. My personal opinion is that in usually the best roms came from Schaps. In case of 6.1 i vote MRH's rom, (TNT it's a bit, how i can be polite, potty, Faria is quite nice, and fast, S64 is OK, nice, but it has low memory (after full config => ~11MB came on!).

Cheers. Zsocee

pdaviet

fwiw - PDAVIET roms get my vote
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
From what I heard the Raphael will more than likely be out first - the SE probably not till the end of the year (but hey I know very little).

It still seems to be unclear how much influence and control SE will have had over the Xperia given the fact HTC are making it. All these phones will now face much higher scrutiny re benchmarks and graphics following the drivers issue on the Kaiser - it will be interesting to see what advances are made in this area.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ssunhing:
Hi Jas, been a while huh? My vote goes to one of the PdaViet Dvh roms, been running various versions of his for the last 3 months with not too much issues once it's installed. I've found that my Hermes likes to be flashed with official At&t WM6.0 rom 1st then the WM6.1 of choice, if not then most often a S/R becomes a H/R. Only thing I don't like of his is his dialer, but that is not an issue to a cook like you.

Cheers, happy hunting!

shaps?

Has anyone tried shaps 6.1 beta? is it near release or still unstable?

if its like 6.0 in terms of stability I recommend you that one, on terms of speed I'm ok but realy don't have much to compare with...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ssunhing:
If I'm correct, this is the one that Schaps abandoned until the official 6.1 was released.

Hi JJ,

Long time no speak and hope you are well. Sorry for late reply but I have been OS. I have been using CRC's roms pretty much since you stopped cookin and he started. I've found them quite fast and stable (haven't tried the development editions) also cooked by a downunder brother. When combined with Slithers cube (another downunder brother) I pretty much have a smokin hermes in my opinion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AirwolfUK:
also been running this one for a few days now.

Fastest one i have tried and nice and lean.

I only really use my Hermes these days for running GPS navigation software so fast and lots of ram is essential, and playing around with new stuff.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ph03n1x:
i like 400 dvh the best thus far has its problems but its pretty good i like the file explorer from that rom but if u could cook one 6.1 rom i bet it would be flying and one of the better ones i know ur going through alot but would be really cool

I've been using the TNT 19199 build for what must be coming up to about a month now, bearing in mind i installed the vanilla version and just put my own PDF reader onto it and WLM

BEST ROM I HAVE EVER USED ON HERMES! simple as that, the only rom which i think can really contend with the vanilla TNT rom is K's Final WM6.0 (which there doesnt seem to be a WM6.1 for some reason.hmmm...)

but, its more a personal choice thing i think, go with what you like! i much prefer vanilla and particularly with those that are UC compatible, you can customise at boot!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
You guys who have experience all the instability, have you tried Dr Puttingham's method (post #6)?

6.1 wouldn't last a day for me without locking up until I tried what he says, which basically wipes the slate clean from any bigstorage, etc. Since then (about a week), no lockups on Faria R-32 or Binky11's rom.

[General Questions and Answers] alpha#99:
My Bridge club has a number of Lenovo tablets TB3-710F. With some of them, the screen occasionally goes black and the device becomes unresponsive. Is there any possibility that the device has decided to auto-update the operating system and that's why the screen goes black. I found a site firmwareos.com

that has 3 or 4 versions of firmware - the latest being S000028. I looked at a few of our tablets and some have version S000020, some S000026 and some S000028. The tablets were all purchased at the same time so how could they have different versions? It's unlikely that anyone at my Bridge club has been trying to update them.

Does anyone know if the firmware at firmwareos.com is legitimate and can be trusted? Is it rooted software or normal software? Does Lenovo publish the firmware somewhere?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
My friend.....you could give me or anybody else 10 thousand bucks, and it's still not going to solve your problem I'm sorry to say. You should have unrooted the phone first, then fastbooted the factory image, or do a factory reset, and made sure that OEM unlocking & USB debugging were left on until you were done locking the bootloader. Sorry man, but there's not much you can do without at least a stock recovery, so....accept the loss, learn from your mistake, and move on. Many of us here, including myself, have been there as well.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bb709394:
Have you tried setting/changing your default partition to system_b (or vice versa)? There is suppose to be a redundancy in place for situations when one of the partitions fail for an OTA update. Check one of the threads in this forum on rooting Pixel 2 for information on how to set your active partition.

Unless you manage to do something what you weren't suppose to do (delete the system_b as well), then you are hooped.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hawkswind1:
fastboot --set-active=a from bootloader using latest platform tools . If it's active use b. I bet you guys got it. Pretty sure I've been through this problem when locking
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
i feel like i'm near to a solution please and please keep helping me to go out of this trouble, please tell me as steps:

1- volume down + power button to get in fastboot.

2- i already have latest ADB SDK Platform Tools, so i open in cmd

3- now in this part i don't know what to do, even you gave me some commands to apply, but honestly i don't get them well, i have a little experience and i know the role of those commands that i usually use to flash :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

fastboot flash boot

fastboot flash recovery (or system or vendor ....ect)

fastboot reboot

please just keep help me to complete the steps above where i got stuck, in your information i'm working with windows 10 and cmd
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
please tell me if what i'm going to say is that what you wrote , so i can know that i understand or not :

so i have to use this command on adb cmd fastboot --set-active=a and if i get "active" i have to use this command fastboot --set-active=b

is that what you meant? if yes, please tell me what to do after..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Flashing unlock_critical is not applicable to this device. Just use fastboot flashing unlock. But you need to have developer options available and OEM unlock allowed in them on your device. If you don't have this then everything below won't work.

If you want to flash the boot image use fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img. This will flash it to both the a and b slots

You don't, can't, flash recovery as it's included in the boot image

Edit, I was thinking of the pixel 3. Unlock critical was used on the 2xl, I'm not sure on the 2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
maybe i get closer i understand this idea :

*******The general idea is that if user is using "a" partition (i.e. system booted from boot_a and is using system_a and vendor_a), then updates can be applied to "b" partition while the system is running. After the update has been successfully applied to "b" partition, the bootloader is told to set "b" partition active for next boot. Upon reboot, the bootloader will load boot_b, which in turn loads system_b and vendor_b, thereby "seamlessly" switching to the new system.

The next update will be applied to the "a" partition while the user is using the "b" partition, and the cycle continues.

The advantage is that if something goes wrong with the update (fails to apply or fails to boot), the bootloader can switch back to the original partition, and the phone remains usable.******

i find it in a thread on XDA to understand how the a and b partitions work

so please look at my previous replies to answer my questions and to put me on the point
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
so what commands do i have to use to switch between the booting from 'a' partition or 'b' partition to see if the device will boot, then go to developer options and enable OEM unlock

and do i have to flash other files like system and vendor ...ect for both the a and b slots ? or just flashing the boot.img for both a/b ? and try to run the mobile ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Use fastboot --set_active=a That will set the default slot to a, use b if you want b the default
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
i've done it, now what after ?

fastboot --set_active=a then try to run the device

fastboot --set_active=b then try to run the device

and see which partition will made the phone back to live

that is the significance ? right ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You typed in the command incorrectly. It's.....

You have to include the hyphens in the command line.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Then there's your answer. You can't switch slots manually if the bootloader is locked.

don't tell me that this is the end :crying: nothing more to try
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I don't know anything else to tell you. I mean...

You turned OEM unlocking off in the OS.

You have no stock recovery.

So you can't unlock the bootloader or side load an OTA. Unless you can put your device in download mode and get the original google base firmware, which you can't, then I'm afraid there's not much more you can do. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. I'll let others way smarter than me chime in.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] milanceolympia`:
After tried to install stock rom on my pixel2 xl, i locked bootloader.

Now, i cant unlock bootloader because i cant boot and check oem unlock.

When try to boot into recovery, and boot to android, just appear message "can't find valid operating system"

What to do?

I tried unlock bootloader from adb, and get the message that is not allowed in lock state

Everything i can is boot in fastboot mode.

Is there any possibility to unlock bootloader without check OEM unlock, because i cant boot anything?

Please help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Why did you lock the bootloader anyway?? If you can't get to the OS to check OEM unlocking and USB debugging....your hosed as far as unlocking the bootloader again. And since you have no recovery now, you can't side load an OTA to get your OS back. Might as well RMA it I'm afraid :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Please people, read this and understand me clearly...

Unless you have a very very VERY good reason to relock the bootloader. DO NOT. The risk is too great for no reward.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GokberkTunc:
Hello.

I have few question.

At XDA, i saw solution for oem unlock with changing date. It worked at first time, oem unlock option is shown. after that, i flashed twrp and then root. everythings seems fine to when i reboot my phone.

i got error that say "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" and went for bootloop. I install original firmware and it is fixed.

but now even at bootloader shows oen and frm lock's off, there is no option for oem unlock. the changing date method isn't working and i cant flash twrp or sth other non-original samsung things.

so why i can't flash anything now even if oem and frm lock is shown off at bootloader?

is oem unlocking the only way for flashing twrp?

Thank you.
