[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] eriton carlos:
I'm sorry if the post is not in the right place.

I own a z2 force that turned itself off and the rear camera did not work.

Putting the "power low" message on the recovery screen, even when the full charge appeared, after a time off "power ok" was displayed.

One moment he did not call any more and I tried bootloader, but without being able to activate usb debugging (my fatal error!), Now the message "your device is corrupted. It can not be trusted and it does not boot" and I can not unlock bootloader nor flash a new rom to boot the device.

obs: camera and battery problems appeared after the upgrade via ota to 8.0 actions
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] eriton carlos:
Solved.

I was able to start the device after hours looking for a solution, now I'm flashing a new rom to try to fix the camera problem and automatic shutdown.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] bdlnrtz:
How do you solve it?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mr_5kool:
I usually buy second hand Motorola phones (also this ATT Z2F), but I've never met the problem on individual hardwares yet (like camera, fingerprint sensor). Almost errors can be solved via flashing a right firmware. I think you can now flash fw via Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA). If you use flashall.bat method, just take a look at the xml file and compare it to the content of flashall.bat (two types can be opened by Notepad, Notepad++ is recommended). The xml one shows what will be flashed.

For example: in the xml one has oem.img_sparsechunk.0-1-2, but in flashall.bat only has: fastboot flash oem oem.img

If you continue, your phone won't boot.

You have to edit flashall.bat:

fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.2

Save and continue your works.

The xml is the standard file for RSD Lite. But, RSD seems not to be supported on recent PC hardwares, so step-by-step fastboot or flashall.bat is recently used. Therefore, just take a look before flashsing (other preparations won't be mentioned here). You should flash the equal or higher version to your current fw version on your phone.

Hope this works for you all.

I noticed that the Samsung Alcantara case is now 20 USD on Amazon, same for most UAG cases are now around 15 USD compared to the original 40 usd. Incipio and Spigen cases are cheap too now.

So if you plan to keep your note 8 longer this is a great time to buy premium cases before they run out of stock.

Before the fastboot flash patched_boot.img command, I requested twrp of my stock firmware.

fastboot flash boot twrp-xz2.img

* fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

After that, it booted into recovery and installed the patched_boot.img and select boot partition.

After that, it was loaded into the system after the logo was loaded, it disappears and the black screen remains on, after that the reboot is permanent.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Nice that you want to give us a gsi guide. :)

And now my critics :silly:

1. You don't need to erase the system.
Flashing a partition does it too.
And we may have the erase bug in the bootloader, where executing the erase command on its own may take more than only 1 second.

2. You can flash the system.img in the twrp.
And of course wipe the userdata, too (userdata and internal storage due to encryption).

3. A styled guide with the XDA forum bbcode would be nice. :)

Does this mean it doesn't matter which country? All SD should support all those? Since Samsung Canada official website didn't list all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
I noticed the same thing myself (e.g., the missing band on Samsung Canada) but a couple things:

Samsung needs to update that page. > DISREGARD.

Band 17 helps to improve 4G LTE speeds for many Canadian telecoms and their subsidiaries. It has worked for previous Samsung devices. I don't foresee any reason why it would be revoked for newer devices.

I'm using a G975U1 that I converted to G975W and am having no issues on Telus (WiFi Calling/VoLTE/LTE+).

Telus also WRONGLY references Band 17 as working with S10-related devices:

Rogers too!

AHE_XDA,

I do not know how "essential" it is in the real world situations, but it is not limited to just Bell and TELUS (and of course, their flanker brands)... Rogers has also got the MBS spectrum licenses - including the 700MHz Lower B / C blocks that Band 17 covers - in various regions of Canada as well as jointly holds some with Vidéotron in Eastern Ontario & Outaouais / Quebec.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sundoggy:
Samsung Canada really messed this one up. I know band 17 is essential. I just check Band 17 is not listed.

Anyway we can ask Samsung to activate this

You may wish to create a post in the Samsung Members Community Forum as Samsung monitors that.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
Perhaps 'Essential' is overstated :)

I'll correct that!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
Did a bit more digging.

The band in question, 17, was supported until the Note 9.

Samsung Chat confirmed it isn't included in the S10 but was supported in prior devices.

Their Support Line was clueless what I was talking about.

Samsung Business Services could likely answer this if someone wants to take it up with them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
They confirmed that probably because they went online and read a spec sheet. Curious to know this for real.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] howipig:
No Band 17, No problem

Folks,

Perhaps some of us may have forgotten how the 700MHz MBS spectrum are allocated in relation to Band 12 vs 17. In a sense, the Lower B and C blocks in the Band 17 spectrum are like the "subset" of Band 12 spectrum that includes the Lower A block...

In Canada, the band plan is the same but with different "labels" of the Upper blocks...

Either way, the whole mess with Band 12 vs 17 was more about big carriers like at&t which has got the Lower B and C block spectrum while smaller carriers have got the Lower A block spectrum. Device manufacturers along with big carriers would not have any issue to cater each other objectives but smaller carriers cried foul to FCC. Then they worked on the technical aspects to make networks in both bands interoperable....

https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/at-t-achieves-interability-700-mhz-band

If we force our S10/S10+/S10e with only LTE Band 12 access, I do not believe we would "miss" anything as long as the carrier we are using do have the spectrum in the A, B or C blocks where we use our phones....

* This chart may not reflect any approved spectrum swap between carriers since the last MBS spectrum auction ended

So I would not concern too much about the lack of LTE Band 17 support anymore. In fact, it maybe the other way around that IF our phones didn't support LTE Band 12. It is quite insignificant with 5x5MHz spectrum utilized anyway... unless the place where I use the service the most is located in the boonies or underground bunker! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] amace04:
Thanks for the info. I just stumbled on this thread as I was doing a little coverage mapping. I noted many of the towers in my area that I've recorded are broadcasting 4 and 17, but a handful were broadcasting 13. I have an S10+, so went into the service menu to force only 13 to try and see if more were broadcasting, but my phone just wasn't picking them up, and I was surprised to see 17 was missing.

Now, based on the mapping, I know my phone's picking up 17, but the fact that 12/17 are essentially the same makes alot of sense. I'll have to test forcing only band 12 next, and see if that registers as 17 on cellmapper's page.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Ok, now it gets strange.

I forced my device's LTE preference to only B12, and it immediately dropped to HSPA+.

Hello everyone, so I'm new on flashing custom Roms on my device (bored of Miui doesn't get updates too often and no cam2api) and i have some questions I would like to get answered from the advanced xda'ers!

Right now i'm Havoc OS which feels really smooth and battery is great but sadly Dev announced the rom is dropped so no more updates.

1. Should it be a problem if i stay on Havoc OS and don't get any future updates anyway for a long time?

2. If I want to move to another ROM I should "Clean flash" it? (Wipe everything which is boring)

3. If i move to another ROM, I will have to clean flash every update which is ridiculously boring?

4. What is the best way to Backup your device and move Everything from a Custom Rom to another when you have to "Clean flash"

5. How safe is it to make Money transactions on a Custom Rom with Root access on it and how can i prepare myself safe on it?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
1) if you're comfortable with the ROM you'll be fine for 1-2 months. Honestly you'll just be behind on security updates (this might be an issue in relation to your last question)

2) you should clean flash between ROMs or you will have issues. Use an app like "migrate" from the play store to speed it up.

3) you only have to clean flash between custom ROMs. Updates to an existing ROM can be flashed over the old one. So very fast like an miui OTA update.

4) see migrate app in the play store. Should do what you want. Individual apps can be backed up with root and titanium backup. Use an SD card to move files around to keep them safe when wiping data

5) not as safe as MIUI and locked bootloader maybe... But I've personally not had issues using banking apps as normal with root. Just don't install apps you don't trust. If an app requests root when it shouldn't need it then run. Keeping the ROM up to date is important for this. Make sure the security patches are from the last 1-2 months (unless the ROM is listed as CAF where the updates will be intentionally behind but don't worry about that)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] stavrakas2007:
Thank you for your time :)

According to your answer no 5. that means it's unsafe to make transactions from Devices which get no updates anymore. I worry about that because my dad is making transactions from a Samsung Galaxy J5 2016. (security patch level 2017).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
It's not as risky as it seems.

Honestly leave it to the banks to sort it out. They're very skittish about root and vulnerability so I'm sure if they considered outdated security patches to be an issue they would block the usage of the app on that device. The majority of being safe is being proactive. The user is the first line of defence against exploits so just don't install sketchy software.

There's definitely advantages to devices being up to date though and ideally we need Google to be enforcing security patches for devices for a set period of time. Some OEMs have been caught editing the build.prop to show a higher security patch level than is actually present. An area for improvement.

Overall there a pros and cons to being on stock ROM and using custom ROMs. With an unlocked bootloader you'd really want to have encrypted data and SeLinux enforcing and just don't let people have physical access to the phone.

By just pressing the power button once or after the time out in battery mode, the screen is put in sleep mode. I have not set any passwords.

When i resume, i can see the message "Service Unavailable" breifly and the phone reconnects to the provider. I can make and receive calls then as long as the phone screen is on.

I have reflashed it twice but the same issue remains.

It is not a network issue as the problem is not there on my K-JAM.
