1. I frankly have zero regrets about buying mine at launch, albeit I got a much better deal off eBay versus retail.

2. 50% drop in face value is what it SHOULD be. Cell phones are not investments.

3. Apple has done a successful job in positioning itself as a status symbol and/or premium coveted device brand, with unmatched support. Confidence in the product you are getting is sky high, and Apple can pat themselves on the back for that. When you pair product confidence with aesthetic appeal, people will be ready to pay more. If Android OEMs can offer OTC swaps, walk-in face-to-face expert ("genius?") consultations etc, their residual value will also naturally rise.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoauldGod:
Hi all,

So just finished rooting my Tab A T585. I want to begin using the encryption, but my question is, if my device goes bad, for example, and I need to access my 128 GB sd card from my computer, is that possible? I'm used to windows where I can move a Bitlocker-encrypted drive to another PC, and enter the seed without a problem. Is that possible with Android?

Thanks!!
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
Today I was surfing using Firefox, suddenly the screen froze. Battery was probably at about 45%. I could do nothing, not even locking the screen.

I pressed the power button for some seconds, did nothing.

Suddenly the screen turned black. Since them I'm not able to reboot the phone.

I tried VolUp + Power for longer than 15s, but nothing. I also tried VolDown+Power, VolUp+VolDown+Power, VolUp+VolDown. Nothing works.

Plugging in AC does not do anything... When I plug it into the PC, I can see the following in the syslog:

[ 172.018947] usb 2-3.1.3: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd

[ 172.144187] qcserial 2-3.1.3:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected

The interesting thing is, that if I press VolUp+Power for 15s, the device disconncts and connects again:

[ 571.412352] qcserial ttyUSB0: Qualcomm USB modem converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0

So it looks like the device still reacts to the soft-reboot but does not boot somehow...

Has the phone bricked itself?!

Edit: Nokia Support told me I need to send the device for repair...
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Sounds like a warranty case to me (at least if you still have warranty). I wouldn't doubt, just return the phone.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
yes, the phone is 12 days old... support suggested the same.

Would be interesting to know if this is a "common" problem or if I was just unlucky...
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] moore.bryan:
Do you happen to know if it was on the January update? I had several random reboots--not the same as you--on the November & December ones...
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
I got the phone back from repair. The report states as fault code: "416 - Start-Up - SW-failure - reflash"

So somehow the flash got corrupted but they were able to reflash it. So at least no hardware damage.

I'm not sure if this happened due to the January update or not, I got the phone beginning of February and immediately installed the update, thus I never saw the old version.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Let's hope you're safe from now on :) for those of us who have no issues (I count myself so lucky) the phone is really good. Crossing my fingers for you :)
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
would be interesting to know if this breakdown was caused by the hardware (maybe a bad flash chip) or was somehow triggered from the OS.

Would be also interesting to know what exactly was broken. Idk the structure of the chipset but as the device would not even boot the bootloader, I would guess that the bootloader configuration was messed up?

Btw: I would guess that all the bootloader stuff is locked on the N7.1 and probably protected with keys (which are not public), right?

until now, everything works again *knock on wood*
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] UCFJake:
I had a similar issue but it was while I updated the February OTA. The phone prompted that it was ready for install, and so I said yes and it rebooted and hung on the Android One splash screen for a long while and then displayed a system level message similar to booting into the factory reset mode (I can't remember what it is called right now) and it said update failed, try again, or factory reset data. I clicked try again (using volume keys) and it rebooted a couple more times until it froze, powered on, on the Android One screen with a "Download Mode" message in the upper left. Phone would not power off or reboot or anything. Sent it in under warranty to Nokia (eBuilder) (bought in November from Best Buy) and they fixed it in a day and sent it back. Same IMEI and physical phone. No signs of entry. I didn't get a report back of what they fixed though. But now my phone won't detect or pull the February update. Otherwise it seems to be perfectly fine. I did have a few random reboots since the January update initially but I've always had that on various Android phones so thought not much of it. I got it back on the December Pie build and it immediately wanted to update to the January one. I did so tentatively and so far have had no problems.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
That's what I had. My phone's on the way back to me now. Let's hope it behaves from now on ;)
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
Well... Bricked the phone again today. Will send it to repair tomorrow...

This time during unlocking, the phone went black and was not able to boot again. Same symptoms as last time -.-
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] singhnsk:
Interesting. The phone goes into RAMDUMP mode randomly and even the emergency download will not help as it is not in EDL mode. This happening a second time looks like a hardware flaw and Nokia should be replacing your mainboard this time. Keep a check. Don't settle for a software flash even if they manage to do it after disasssembly.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
I guess that I can not do anything because I am missing the keys to communicate to the Qualcomm chip, right?

It would be interesting to know if one could extract some crash information when this happens...

I'll check if I get a new phone or if they just reflash.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
Wow, I just received this mail from the nokia support:

Now I'm thrilled to have it back to see if it works again....
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
Got the phone back. The repair paper says that not fault was found... At least they did not nothing, as they factory resetted the device or reflashed. Back on December security updates.

So either the problem somehow fixed itself or their diagnosis tools fixed it somehow.

If anyone has an idea what could have happened, please provide some info ;)

Looks like you can escape from QDL mode by cutting the power.

Now, it would be interesting to know if you can escape the QDL with some command too.

Trying to install the March security update my phone got stuck in Download Mode. I was able to see the phone in fastboot, but when I tried to wipe the data and factory reset, it shows the factory reset animation for a split second and then crashes back to download mode. Phone was stock/not rooted.

Nokia support says they will not help me because I have the phone in the US but the IMEI is supposed to be for Hong Kong -- I guess the ebayer I got it from imported it. I really have no recourse and Nokia has basically stolen my money because they refuse to even let me PAY to send them the phone to repair.

Any ideas?? Running out the battery didn't get me any relief.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
Unfortunately, I'm also done with the Nokia support :crying: They can not tell me if I'll get a new phone, as the old one is practially not trustworthy anymore. They just tell me "yeah maybe, that depends"

Bought another phone two days ago.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] raph3ix:
just some news from my nokia phone... I had a long discussion with the support via email, but all their advises would not work.

So finally I send in the phone one last time and got it back with a long list of repaired stuff oO

They repaired several connectors to the display as well as the speaker. I have no idea why this would fix the issue....

Anyways, I am now using a Samsung which hadn't let me down so far ;)

I think the flash memory is dead. I wasn't flashing anything and my phone had been stable for several months before that. It's just one morning I found my phone turned off and boot loop.

I don't know whether my phone is a complete brick because surprisingly I still have TWRP. Although the USB connection is dead as every PC sees my device as unknown.

In TWRP when I try to do a full wipe/factory reset it fails and I get the following message:

Error opening: '/data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs' (I/O error)

Error opening '/data/data/com.android.vending/cache/logs/null_account' (I/O error)

Error opening '/data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs' (I/O error)

Error opening: '/data' (I/O error)

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] amt911:
Hi guys, I have kinda big problem.

Yesterday I was messing around with my device just to understand how the a/b partitions work. Then I decided to install a custom rom but TWRP was throwing me errors at the end of the installation (cannot mount /system (access denied) or something like that). After this problem I thought the best solution was to erase every partition (yes, I'm an idiot) throught fastboot and then reflash the phone with msmdownloadtool. I did exactly that and when the unbrick tool finished the phone rebooted and got stuck on the boot screen (the big red circle and the two smaller ones around it). I don't know what to do, I tried almost every version of msmdownloadtool (even the h2os one), I tried unlocking the bootloader, but the phone rejects it and I'm still stuck in a bootloop.

Please help me, I'm running out of ideas and I don't want to have a 570€ paperweight.

Sorry if my english is bad, this is not my native language.

So try to get stock recovery mode on you phone, then try to flash stock rom. Later you can go for the TWRP and Magisk Installation for Root access.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] amt911:
The problem is the OnePlus 6T doesn't have an adb sideload option in the stock recovery so I can't sideload anything and the msmdownloadtool left me with the bootloader locked, so I can't flash anything in fastboot nor boot a custom recovery.

1. Download full OTA to your pc and unzip https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397891265

2. Edit flash-all-partitions.bat and put this line on the top "fastboot -w" and save

3. double click flash-all-partitions.bat

4. If step 3 still showing error. Edit flash-all-partitions.bat and add "fastboot set_active other" on the top and save then repeat step 3 again.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] amt911:
I tried entering in fastboot mode and writing "fastboot -w" but it says "FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State')". I think it's because the bootloader is locked, I don't know what can I do next.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Dunno if this will work but after reflashing another time. Boot to stock recovery and factory reset. I dunno the exact procedure but I assume you boot to bootloader and from there boot to recovery and do a factory reset. I had something similar. I flashed OOS via TWRP after soft bricking my phone. And factory reset fixed it. Tho in my case it didn't even load the bootanimation. Just the Unlock Warning and reboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] amt911:
I tried that and it's still stuck on the boot animation, I think it's just a hardware problem because back then with my OnePlus 3T I did the same and it worked just fine. I contacted OnePlus and they accepted sending the phone to them. I'll see when they examine it what is their answer.

What I did to brick it was using this guide: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516

And inside the manual flash section there are a lot of fastboot commands.

What I did was using only the fastboot ones and replacing "flash" to "erase" to delete every partition. After that I flashed the phone using msmdownloadtool right away. My question is: Could this be the cause that my phone is in bootloop?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Michael B.N.:
I wanted to update my rooted Android Nougat to Oreo and also go from SuperSU to Magisk. During that process I discovered that TWRP recovery couldn't mount my internal storage.

I quickly saw on a lot of sites that it's a well-known issue, and I solved it by converting from ext4 to ext2 and back again. Now my phone is running perfect. All apps are installed, data and settings are restored with Titanium and root with Magisk is working fine. But then I remembered about the issue with TWRP and booted into recovery - just to discover the problem is back again. I can't mount my internal storage. So I can't flash zip files, I can't do a backup etc.

When I search xda or the web in general, I can't figure out why the problem has occured again. Also I can't find out how to fix it without losing all my data. Can anybody answer these two questions? Why is this happening again and how do I permanently fix it? And can it be with all my data on my phone - because I'm not able to do a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
The problem occurs when you use a ROM which encrypts the software or the ROM your flashing has an encrypted kernal. The only way out is to flash a ROM which doesn't encrypt. It is a known problem with TWRP and we have to wait for the TWRP team to update TWRP to handle quota allocation.
