[LG V30 Questions & Answers] lolwatpear:
Hello,

I've never encountered this installing roms for years on various phone. I installed lineage OS 16 and tried several other roms, and the phone always freezes after making a phone with the dialer. I immediately thought it was because it wasn't my default app, but it is. I then tried changing APN settings and preferred network type to other settings, but nothing works. I get data fine and can text, I just cannot make phone calls. Does anyone know what is wrong?

figured it out: Had to flash h931 modem found in the rom in this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/lg-v30-att-h931-20f-rom-t3872926

maybe this will be helpful for someone as I saw no one mention the need to flash different modem for a US 998 conversion.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tm978275:
I know this is my first post, but that's only because I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as most of the people that frequent this forum...you guys rock!

So I lent my brother my old V20 a few months back...Not really sure what he was trying to achieve, but he messed up a flash somehow and I've been struggling with it for the last day. I've managed to get the stock (P) kdz flashed, got it rooted with lafsploit (which is awesome to say the least)...and it's up and running. Until I put my sim in and realize I cannot get a signal, because my IMEI is 0 somehow. I've tirelessly searched all over for a solution, but I can't get QPST to write the IMEI to the phone...It will read all the data from the phone, but gives me 'phone sent invalid command' error whenever I try to write to it. (Oddly enough, it also fails to identify the phone model or SW version when it detects the port.

I've also tried EFS, which simply gives me an error 4...whatever that may be. Then the qualcomm imei tool just doesn't work either...

I have the proper drivers installed, and have opened the diag port...still same result.

Any thoughts? I really could use this phone right now...any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jst68:
I am having a hard time finding APKs for Tenplay and Zattoo for my Sony Android TV. The Tenplay apk I found readily available, claims that the device isn't supported and the Zattoo apk I found, is displaying sideways (guessing it is the mobile apk).

I am guessing that you can only get the Android TV APKs if you are located in Germany/Switzerland and Australia.

Could anybody from these two countries point me towards working APKs? Thank you!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TDoric:
So here is my issue,

I installed the app GPSJoystick, it worked fine, but (stupidly) I decided to update the app. It's not a root app but it has some additional functions when installed as system app. In order to do that, I used a Magisk module called App Systemizer (terminal emulator). It worked, but the app was not performing the way I wanted it to so I decided to uninstall the app and revert to the older version.

Here is my issue, I uninstall the app but there are empty folders remaining in the system/priv-app folder, and no matter what I try, I cannot delete them. I tried to use a root explorer app (several of them) but it didn't work. I tried to use the TWRP file manager, but the folders are not (for some reason) visible to it. I also tried to use adb shell but to no avail.

It's not really breaking anything, it's just annoying. The only app that doesn't work is the GPSJoystick app. I think it's because of the remaining files. Is there a way to manually delete all of the remaining files and folders? I know where they are, but simply cannot delete them.

Can anyone advise and help?

To summarise, I have 2 folders in system/priv-app that I can't delete, and need help with that.

Thank you!

EDIT:

I forgot to mention:

I'm on 9.0.12, stock recovery, rooted with Magisk 18.1
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
In TWRP, did you ensure to mount system before?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TDoric:
Yes. I can see all other folders but not the ones I want to delete.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Hmm, it may not be in the usual system/system/priv-app folder since a Magisk module systemized it. You might need to play around in some Magisk folders in the root section of your phone. Just a suggestion, I could be wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TDoric:
Now, you see, that's why I love XDA.

I tried everything but to look at the Magisk module. So I tried uninstalling the module, and what do you know, the folders are gone. I couldn't see them in TWRP because the module was not loading then, and I could not delete it while in system because they were in use by the module.

So thank you very much, the "issue" is resolved!

Thanks again!
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] Elyasejouk:
I have a moto e5 plus and tried to root it. I started off by unlocking the bootloader and everything went well. Then when I was trying to flash twrp recovery through adb I wrote the wrong command and instead flashed it as the the boot and recovery file so now everytime I power on my phone it goes to recovery mode since then i tried flashing boot.img files from custom roms and have been getting a screen where it says bad key and it just stays like this.

I’m not an expert on these stuff obviously and i would appreciate it if any could help me thx.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] B3rt:
I have hear a S7 wich hangs on white samsung boot logo.

The device is stock, no root and no custom rom.

The problems started on a failed update, it started to hang during use.

I made a backup and then tried to reset it, sadly i came no further then this boot logo after it crashed again.

I decided to enter recovery mode, when entering recovery each time i get a blue install screen of an update and each times it fails with an error.

Then i did a wipe cache and rebooted, same result, it stops at boot logo

Then i did a wipe/format factory reset (from recovery) and reboot, here also it hangs on samsung logo

Also it reports the following:

fail to open recovery cause no such file or directory

I even let the phone boot for 8 hours on the logo, it gets really hot but it does not go pass the samsung boot logo

When booting and the phone is connected by USB to my laptop i get messages that android rom is prepared and 1 later it is installed, but that is it, no booting etc.

I then entered download mode and used ODIN, downloaded the latest stock rom and try to flash it.

But here also i get each try a FAILED on the boot, even when i do no enter BL i get a FAILED, so only AP it fails also.

I tried now about 5 different stock rom versions and they all fail.

Have really no idea how to fix this, as mentioned the phone is fully stock, so stock bootloader, stock rom etc.

Anyone any idea how to get this phone up and running again?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Your trying to flash old versions of the firmware, once the boot loader is updated you can't go back.

This is the latest version of T Mobile for the Netherlands (TNL), it's always best to try the firmware you were on first [url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/TNL/download/G930FXXU3ESA3/255865/[/URL]

If that doesn't work this is the latest version of Unbranded BTU [url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/BTU/download/G930FXXS4ESAE/257466/[/URL]

Also use Odin 13. Put all files in correct slots and use CSC not HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] B3rt:
As far as i could see these are all android 8 and 1 android 7 firmwares, so they are not that old.

Believe the latest one is from January this year, i know the last time the phone was updated was last October, after that all updates failed to install OTA

The link you gave me is exactly the same version i used only without the branding, so i already used the latest one.

I tried to be sure the download from the link you given but with those download speeds (15kb) it is almost impossible to download these firmware's, i am not gonna take a subscription to for 1 time fast downloading and also i do not want to risk that i paid for a fast download it fails again....

So if someone has a download link which i can use and try an other firmware please feel free to share it.

BTW i used the last Odin3-v3.13.1 version, i cannot find a newer one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok well you can listen to me or not.

None of the firmwares you are using are for your device,

PHN is Netherlands

and the BTU you are using BTU-G930FXXU1DPLT is on a U1 boot loader, BTU is now on S4 which is 3 versions above U1.

The reason you only download from Sammobile or updato.com is because the firmware is correct, reliable and not full of virus/spyware. You can also download direct from Samsung severs with SamFirm Tool.

Im just wondering but how much money/effort do you think it would take to get Qualcomm to skip the HTC part and just give the developers here a driver. I know its like a 1 to 8932874932928748927398 chance but with the way HTC has been treating us we might have a better chance asking Qualcomm rather then HTC.

Forgive me for sounding like a noob, but I think they should have the drivers somewere, they made the chip didnt they.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] somynex:
honestly i think that even if HTC wanted to release these drivers, qualcomm wouldn't let them or give them the drivers, because if they did, what's to stop any enterprising person spreading the drivers around to other devices that are positioned at a lower segment & price but don't have the drivers?

that'd completely blow qualcomm's business model of a-la-carte enabling of features on their chip out of the water.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
That is an interesting theory. Though I doubt it. Qualcomm makes the same amount of money on that chip if the OEM (like HTC) uses the full features or not. If someone wants to port it to a less powerfull phone, the phone wouldn't have the 7200 chip, so it wouldn't work.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbarni:
One of my favorite features of the S8 is the Dex feature, that lets me use the phone as a basic computer. I was very disappointed when I saw that the Linux on Dex (LoD) beta is only available for the Note 9 and Tab S4.

This is a stupid software limitation, I don't see any other reason why the S8 - even with Android Pie - wouldn't run LoD. It was even used for the first demos (around one year ago)!

The aim of this thread is to try to remove this limitation and run Linux on Dex on our Galaxy S8.

We already managed to remove the limitation for the need of the Dex dock, hope this will also be a success!

As I'm not an experienced Java developer, I won't be able to solve this thing alone. Hope that other developers will also join this project!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbarni:
Ok, here are my first steps:

- Downloaded, installed and ran the latest APK (1.0.49): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78734115&postcount=226

Error message: Your device is not supported. Please visit www.linuxondex.com for more details.

- Modified the model in build.prop to SM-N960

Error message: Linux on DeX requires your device to have the latest software to support some features.

So there is a change, but not enough.

Now, I decompiled the APK with apktool. The source is in smali bytecode format, but it can be transformed to java.

The device detection code is in the file smali/com/samsung/android/lxd/a/i.smali. It checks the device name for TABS4, CROWN (Note9), STAR2 (S9+*), WINNER (Fold), BEYOND (S10). Can someone add the DREAMLTE/DREAM2LTE and recompile?

* Why only the S9+ (star2) and not the S9 (star)? This is just stupid.

Yep...it seems that there are other limitations too. This "latest software" is just stupid; for example the S8 Pie has newer software than the Note9 had when the first LoD beta was released (1.0.38, in last November), still it complains for old software. I wonder if it will work when devs will integrate S10 APKs in S8 rom...

This 'latest software' may be caused by other issue - SELinux. After running self build & signed version my logcat is full of such entries:

I'm not sure it's SELinux. It should run on stock rom. In the message you posted, it complains also for untrusted app.

I tried LoD 1.0.38, which also stops with "Update your software", and didn't find anything similar in Logcat.

Thanks!

I checked it, I don't have the untrusted app message, I have several of these:

libc [E] Access denied finding property "lxd_vmdebugmode"

However I find this part of the logcat more interesting:

LxD_o [I] isSupportedBinary: binary version: 1, required version: 4
LxDEntryActivity [E] NonSupportedBinary:

Taking a look at o.smali, the "binary version" is given by the function: com.samsung.android.lxd.processor.utils.Utils.getNstVersion ( );

This points to Utils.smali where it returns android.os.SemSystemProperties .getInt ( "linux_on_dex_version",1); if I understand correctly.

And that leads us to the kernel, probably related to /include/linux/linux_on_dex.h

Can you check this? Do you agree?

I'll investigate the kernel part. I suspect that the kernel has LoD support, but it reports LoD version 1, and the beta won't start unless this number is higher or equal to 4. I don't know if there are other kernel differences, have to dig myself in the Note9 kernel too.

Can you check what happens if you modify the o.smali file, to compare the result of getNstVersion with 1 (set v2 to 0x01 in .line 634)? If you can do this, rebuild the APK, repost it and report back please!

I feel we are getting closer to soething!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mpty:
I've changed `getNstVersion` default result to 4 instead 1 and it will allow to continue. This method is called later in o.smali:

* 5 (tablet) and 4 (phone). If linux_on_dex_version value is smaller than 5 or 4 this device

public static boolean isSupportedBinary() {
boolean isAlreadyAuthorized = g();
boolean isSupportedBinary = true;
if (isAlreadyAuthorized) {
return true;
} else {
int deviceNstVersion = Utils.getNstVersion();
byte requiredNst;
if (isTablet()) {
requiredNst = 5;
} else {

var5.append(requiredNst);
Log.i(var4, var5.toString());
