Noob question here: When using fastboot to flash the update image, do you have to worry about the "slot A" vs "slot B" thing?? Can you provide a little more insight? I've been reading around the forum, and I'm a little worried about bricking my phone! (The bootloader on my phone is unlocked and I've rooted the phone, but I haven't flashed a third-party ROM. The OTA update feature gives me a "couldn't update" message.)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] enigma2446:
No you don't have to worry about it. The flash all file in the zip will do all the work for you. It wont take update via ota because you have to be on the stock boot.img. the stock boot img has the recovery built into the ramdisk there for if your rooted then there is no stock recovery to use for ota. Be cautious because flashing via fastboot will wipe the phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] njsges:
If I edit the .bat file and remove "format userdata", that will prevent the wipe?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] enigma2446:
It should without issues but always prepare for hickups.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hssxda:
Anyone else having issues when trying to update to the February release? I tried to sideload the OTA update and that kept giving me the error "adb sideload failed to read command: no error" and then I decided to follow Morphius's suggestion here to just unroot my device by flashing to stock bootloader in order to try to take the OTA update and that OTA keeps failing as well. Anyone else having this issue?

After three days running, memory Leak not fixed.. Bummer
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] adiejg:
Again, a very noob question, (and I do apologize) but can I use something like Titanium Backup to make sure I can restore all my apps the way they were after I flash the update via fastboot? Reinstalling everything seems like a gigantic pain in the backside.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mattern1974:
Titanium Backup used to require root access. You probably need to be rooted before you update via fastboot and run the backup through Titanium Backup. Then you will need to copy your backup files to a computer because fastboot flashing will erase your phone data. Next apply the fastboot update, root again, copy your backup back to the phone and restore your backup.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hssxda:
I was but I followed all the proper steps but for some reason this morning my computer wouldn't real the OTA zip file. I tried it tonight using a different USB port on my laptop and it is worked first time... so weird...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ARMpits9:
I don't have memory leak anymore..

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mkstevo:
I'm using my Essential 'phone in the UK having recently purchased it used. On the 7th I had a notice to say that an update was available. When I tried to install it it downloaded, but refused to install saying: Couldn't update... installation problem. As far as I know the 'phone is running the stock software but I noticed that no updates had been installed since October 2018. I unchecked 'allow bootloader unlocking' in case that was the issue, but still couldn't perform the update.

I went onto the Essential website and downloaded the OTA image to my iMac, then, following the guide, sideloaded the update on to the 'phone. This worked well and I now have an updated PH-1. I'll have to see if March's update now installs correctly or not.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kpirnie:
so.... am i reading this right... and here is my thinking...

to keep root and still take the OTAs

- go to Essentials site and download the image zip

- (to keep root) copy boot.img to your device, patch it through magisk, then copy it back to your ota folder.

- open flashall.bat, comment the format userdata (to keep your data), change the boot.img line to patched_boot.img

- run flashall.bat

- profit
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mruno:
there are many ways to update. here are the steps i use:

Download the latest OTA... https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds

Copy to Phone...

Reboot to TWRP...

Flash OTA just like any other rom...

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spud_work:
I use the stock email app and push email is no longer working at all since the Pie update was received as an OTA update and everything worked perfectly fine before.

I've double checked all settings on my exchange (via office365) email account to make sure that they hadn't changed and even deleted the e-mail account and recreated it to no effect.

I had to go out for a little bit this morning and whilst I was out I received 15 emails which all showed on the outlook client on my desktop PC, but not a single one of them had been pushed to my phone as they were received. On opening the stock email app the last synced time at the top was several hours ago and the only way that I could receive the messages was by doing a manual sync.

Has anyone else encountered anything similar since the update or has any idea on how to fix it as I rely on push email when I am out and about
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] richardps:
yes. Same here. Updated last night and now it's not getting the push on e-mails from the Samsung Email app. I've rebooted my phone a couple of times. Still a problem.

Same issue here with both stock Samsung email app (Gmail account connected through IMAP) and Gmail app
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joeldf:
The BlackBerry Hub app kept working after the Pie update on my S9. Must be specific to the Samsung email app.

Have you tried deleting and re-adding the account. Could be a setting that didn't carry over properly, since I'm sure, the email app itself was also updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spud_work:
I've finally managed to fix this, I had to delete the profile and clear all data (including anything linked to a system app related to mail and calendar as I sync both) reboot the phone, clear all the data again and then put everything back - it's now been 24 hours and it is still working!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ccr32:
Similar approach seems to have worked for me on some limited testing I have done this evening. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ccr32:
Seems that I spoke too soon. Push was working with some limited testing confined from one other email account to the one set up on my phone, but the following day was still experiencing the same lack of sync issues, with a load of mails coming through once I opened up the email app, but not before.

Perhaps was working ok before while the phone was still relatively 'awake', but when left to its own devices starts to sleep the apps. There is no setting I can find in Pie to keep certain apps always awake, so not sure what to do here.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mhilberd:
peak hours schedule

My push mail also stopped after the pie update. I found out that setting a peak hours schedule with push made push email work again.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mhilberd:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Steve-x:
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

My push email didn't work with gmail with Oreo and still doesn't work with Pie. I have tried switching to the Samsung email client as well. It works properly if the phone has been awake within the last 30 minutes or so but after that it is back to taking 15 minutes or more(sometimes hours) for an email to arrive.

I have tried all of the suggestions in this thread, nothing made any difference.

So frustrating...

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Atenaa:
Hi everyone

I have a Samsung J5 2017. I'm trying to listen radio FM using a bluetooth headphone but the sound doesn't pass to the headphone. I plug a 3,5 jack and I can turn on the radio. And when the headphone is paired with the phone I can turn of and on the radio using the bluetooth headphone but the sound doesn't pass to the headphone. :(

I tried to install this update but I can't. Begins to install but at the end appears a triangle saying "application not installed". :(

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
You need the headphone plugged in because the wire acts as an antenna.

I plug the headphone cable and I turn on the radio. Then, keeping the headphone can cable on the radio, I use the Bluetooth headphone and it can turn off and on the radio. The only thing it doesn't do (and the most important) is receiving the radio sounds.

And do you know why l can't install the radio update?

I have some troubles with editing fstab.qcom from forceencrypt to encryptable, because system says that editing of this file is denied.

So, how to edit, then?

1. Turn off the phone

2. Boot into TWRP recovery

3. Mount System.

4. On PC ADB type

adb pull /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

5. You will have fstab.qcom file in adb folder

6. Edit something in this file to whatever you want - like forceencrypt to encryptable. Save it.

7. Push the fstab.qcom into mobile by typing this

adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc

8.Voila, you have rewrited fstab.qcom file!

9. Now, you can reboot the phone.

For me it worked, I hope it helps to someone. :) :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] mrhamed:
I have rooted NSTV device with Android11, when I connect my external HDD (ext4 formatted) to it, the device notify me the HHD not supported.

I can mount the HDD successfully:

mount -w -t ext4 UUID=89087942-e2b5-4f4a-99d7-9818559c6844 /mnt/media_rw

The root privileged file manager apps can read & write to HDD (Root-Explorer or Solid-Explorer)

But I can't open my movies through the VLC, MxPlayer... apps (logcat is: Access denied), also I tried to 'chown & chmod' but I'm not success.

Can you help me to solve my problem please?!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] w0nd3r365:
@mrhamed I had a similar issue in android 11 smartphone. My sd card had ext4 fs and bind mounts to it in /sdcard were 'invisible' to apps, due to inaccessible selinux context and permission errors. From this stackexchange post, I did the following to access its files from apps.

You need bindfs cli program. I use termux, so installing bindfs is very easy. If you can't get termux on your tv, cross-compile bindfs for your tv or compile it statically from source or search for pre-compiled binaries.

Mount your external HDD as you did, but use a different directory other than /mnt/media_rw since android mounts external storage devices there, to avoid possible data loss:

# mkdir /drive
# mount -w -t ext4 UUID=89087942-e2b5-4f4a-99d7-9818559c6844 /drive

Create any directory where you will bind-mount drive in /storage/emulated/0/:

$ mkdir /storage/emulated/0/HDD

The owner and group of files when bind-mounting must be root (0) and everybody (was 9997 in my case). Now bind-mount /drive to /mnt/runtime/full/emulated/0/HDD:

# bindfs --ctime-from-mtime --xattr-none --direct-io --resolve-symlinks --create-for-group=10261 --create-for-user=10261 --create-with-perms=u+rwD:go+rD:fugo-X --force-user=0 --force-group=9997 --chmod-ignore --chgrp-ignore --chown-ignore --perms=ug+rwD:fugo-X:o-rwD /drive /mnt/runtime/full/emulated/0/HDD

Bindfs options don't have to be the same though. 10261 can be any uid. The android media provider module sets up the rest of the emulated storage views like read and write for you. That's all. Write speed to HDD folder won't be the same as writing directly to /drive; was slower in my case.

Apps that use the android media API to know which media files are in your storage will not detect the files in HDD until a media scan is done. Again I used termux for the media scan: termux-media-scan, but this process of media scanning and extraction turned out to be too battery intensive because I have very many songs, so I stopped scanning. I searched for apps that scan for media themselves like MX Player or VLC.

I don't doubt it. But what do you suggest as an alternative to Files Go?

I mean, if you factory flash MI 2 ROM, Files Go becomes the default File Explorer APP.

There's still the original non-Google Files APP, but it's not showing on the menu (so I can't access it).

Hi there!.

After I updated from Oreo to Pie via OTA, I noticed that the system equalizer was different from the previous version.

I thought it must be just an update to the interface or the eq, but it seems like it wasn't really just that.

They broke completely the eq. in the last update. I can really notice the difference in quality and surrounding between these two.

It's a shame.. I'm such a music lover and I'm listening to music like almost the entire day.

I really liked how Snapdragon Audio+ managed to pull music to its best with my Bose QC35II bluetooth headphones.

Then.. unfortunately, I had to rollback to Oreo just for this reason.

I wanted to ask you guys, if you know.. if there's any way to port this "Snapdragon Audio+" from Oreo to Pie, even if rooting is necessary.

I've been doing some research and I couldn't find any fix for this yet, though I saw Xioami's devices are not the only ones that's been affected.

I saw that Nokia's owners were complaining about the same thing in forums.
