[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] adderek:
By any chance - do you have stock FW for Oreo ? I am no longer able to get it from xperia servers so downgrading is not possible for me...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] evildog1:
I was asking if should upgrade and how stable it was but I will try upgrade anyway lol

Root is easy on unlocked BL phones.

I have downloaded G8341_Customized NOBA_1310-7488_47.1.A.16.20_R24B from XperiFirm which is last version of Oero but never got time to flash.

As I don't use call recording, i'm good to upgrade to Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Chattamax:
So I had some substratum themes when my phone got the pie update and installed itself. My phone is now in a boot loop and once in a while gives me the option to factory reset. How can I save my data and get my phone to work again?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hyperblu:
You can try flashing the CSAB package through ODIN while using the CSC_HOME file to retain data. That would essentially do a factory reset of Android, but retain your data.

You'll essentially have to flash your firmware back to oreo, remove the themes, and allow the phone to update to pie via OTA. There have been several reports of overlays causing bootloop when updating. If you're not familiar with ODIN or the newer Galaxy flashing protocols, it's pretty long winded to explain. Lol

Hello,

Yes... the outer glass part ... They told me they used to replace it for free for Redmi Note 5 pro and Mi A1 given the devices are under warranty. But when they ordered parts for A2 , there were notified to charge for it. Aren't there Xiaomi service centers in Singapore ? If there are it's better to take you device there. If there aren't I think you can find it in AliExpres too.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wzzupp548:
So, the title speaks for itself. I advised them to go through google, since most likely her phone is synced online and google has a request page for it

Other than that, my main question is, if that fails, is there anyway to boot to twrp, either simply booting it via fastboot, or flashing, without wiping her data.

The first thing that came to my mind was copying off of from recovery, but if bootloader still locked, that prob wont work right?

I've never messed with google pixel phones, but ya know, on the old nexus i have, the second u unlock the bootloader it wipes userdata.

Or any other methods?

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
You're thinking correctly. There's not a way to boot/flash recovery without the bootloader being unlocked. You're looking at trying to figure out the code/password, or working with google like you've mentioned. Which BTW, kudos for bringing this up!

Similarly with the phone call you may select different devices without disconnecting, or simply select pickup on the preferred device. See url below from the lg v10 manual.

https://www.lg.com/hk_en/support/pro...5727431-others

I have no idea, it works, but why in the world are you posting in any random thread about the operating system? Start your own thread maybe and leave us to talk about the OS?

Went a bit off topic in the slice of pie thread. Rightly directed to create a new thread.

So basically in summary, the HTC phone is the first phone I have that does not seem to be able to handle multiple bluetooth devices well. In other words you have to disconnect the headset on the HTC to use your car phone. With my other phones you can select which bluetooth headset you wish to use, or when you receive a phone call the first device you press answer on you can use. With the HTC you can only answer the call using the device connected. Wonder if there is a fix hidden in the settings? Even my older phones could handle this.

My OP6 is on a custom rom (havoc) + rooted and today morning i got a app update for Magisk. So i did the update then install it via magisk manager (direct) then restarted the phone. Now my phone is stuck on "phone is starting". I can go to settings menu by quick settings. That's it. I

have been suffering from this phone is starting / android is starting issue for a time to time for different phones. Sometimes it works by a simple restart, sometime by installing a new launcher and sometime factory reset. Worst case scenario,i have to flash the entire rom. Today i fix it by rebooting to twrp > selinux context fix. So my question is

1. What exactly is causing this issue? Apparently this is juts not related to OP6

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] loomie209:
Hi!

I'm running stock Android Pie and I installed Swift Installer overlays to get a dark theme. Yesterday I tapped on the system update just before remembering to disable overlays before doing so... and no way to cancel the update before it actually installed it :(

Now my phone won't start properly: I get the Samsung logo, then I enter my pattern do decrypt the phone, then it loads and when finished loading it restarts immediately. The second time, instead or restarting immediately it will display the wallpaper for a few seconds, then black screen for a few seconds, and then the Samsung logo disappearing as it shuts the system down. And then it boots me into a special recovery mode with 4 options:

Try again

Erase App data

Power off

View Rescue log

Viewing the rescue log shows me it really is a system UI issue that's very likely because of the Swift Installer overlay: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int com.android.systemui.statusbar.notification.FakeShadowViw.getVisibility()' on a null object reference

Trying again does the same as before, "Erase App data" doesn't help either, and "Power off" actually reboots to the regular recovery mode, with different options:

Reboot system now (same result)

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Mount /system

view recovery logs

run graphics test

run locale test

Power off

Lacking storage booting

From the document from the Play Store page of Swift Installer, you can download a rescue script (rescue_Pie.zip). I tried sideloading that file using adb (option 2), and from an SD card (option 3)

and both yield the same result:

E:footer is wrong
Update package verification took 0.2s (result 1).
E:signature verification failed
E:error:21
Installation aborted

I tried wiping the cache partition and that didn't help, I tried booting with Safe Mode and that didn't help, the only obvious option left that I can see is to do a factory reset, but there are photos from my last trip I would hate to lose and since my phone is encrypted, doing a factory reset would lose the encryption key and I wouldn't be able to recover them.

Would there be any way to

Get the rescue script to run properly, or

Get access to a shell to run the bash commands from the script myself (it's really simple), or

Erase everything BUT my user data, or

Get my photos out of my phone from recovery mode, or

Stop the phone from rebooting long enough for me to try and get my photos out to my computer

It seems really dumb that there is no way to restart with all non-stock apps disabled or to reset the system without losing photos and such...

Thanks for your time and any help!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hyperblu:
Try flashing the latest CSAB build with CSC_Home using ODIN. That should essentially replace Android and retain your data. Hopefully that will override the overlay with stock OneUI. If you can't, you can at least flash back to BRK2, CSC_Home, disable overlays, then push forward to CSAB through OTA.?

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

The latter would probably be your best bet in keeping your files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] loomie209:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I downloaded Odin, your answers are a bit cryptic to me, I started downloading the latest firmware (which has the same version id as shown in recovery mode before you edited your message.

I assume BRK2 is the previous version, and would match the overlays I installed so I can boot properly. ls there a guide to stock version names :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] hyperblu:
I'm assuming you're currently running CSAB on a G965U. You'll need the BRK2 firmware package (doesn't matter what carrier). Flash that using ODIN and for CSC you will use CSC_Home to retain your data. That would essentially put you back to preupdate. You'd then disable the overlay and allow it to update to CSAB on its own, however I think Samsung blocked overlays in Pie all together so you may not be able to use them again.

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

There is no "guide" per say... If you're on a carrier branded US G965U device, you'll want to downgrade from pie (CSAB) to BRK2 (Oreo) and flash the CSC_Home file (NOT CSC_OMC that will wipe).

If you're on the Exynos or international unlocked, I can't help you because those firmware builds are out of my scope.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] loomie209:
Thanks a lot for your help!

I flashed G965FXXU2BRK2 on my phone using Odin, and it got stuck in a loop of loading and "Optimizing app X of 72" Over and over again without rebooting. I tried to wipe the cache data and reboot but still the same.

So I flashed G96FXXU2CSA2 (which was the version I had already apparently) and now I seem to be back to my starting point: same behaviour, same error in the log...

My phone is a G965F.

2. If I were to want to do anything to my phone do I now follow instructions under the 993 forums or since it was a boost phone and still holds some boost apps and still service under boost would i follow that route?
