[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rondnelson99:
For quite awhile now, I have had a nexus 7 (2013) wifi 16GB (flo). CM13 was my first custom rom. Since then, I have upgraded to the latest official Lineage 14.1 build. Now, I never use my old nexus.

Yesterday, I wanted to put together a little game station with it, centering around Wii remote support. I've read that the last android version to support the WiiMotes was 4.1. Unfortunately the N7 was launched with 4.3, so there is no official 4.1 build for the phone. I then read that CM used to have their own support for the controller. Can anyone verify if this is true? From the wayback machine, I downloaded and installed CM13, which worked fine, but while the WiiMote would "connect", it didn't actually do anything, and all for lights on the controller flashed indefinitely. Next, I went to the oldest stable build of CM available: CM10.2 (android 4.3). When I went into the latest version of TWRP to install it, I wiped everything except internal storage, and flashed the zip. I've tried this several times, and it always leads to one of 2 outcomes: either succeeds with the following output:

updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Installing zip file '/sdcard/cm-10.2.1-flo.zip'
Checking for digest file...
Skipping digest check: no Digest file found
updating partition details...
...done

This results in an unbootable system.

Usually successful OS flashes have a lot more output than this, right?

Other times it fails. (Using the exact same file)

I'm having trouble reproducing this error wile I write this, but it was something along the lines of

Checking symlinks...

some symlinks failed.

I know the file was downloaded correctly, because it matches the checksum on the backup of the site.

I would post a wayback machine link but XDA won't let me.

LineageOS and CM13 install just fine, so the tablet isn't bricked.

So, can anyone

-help me install this old build of CM10

-Tell me a way to use wiimotes with a newer OS

-direct me to some obscure build of android 4.1 or older (WiiMotes used to work perfectly in 4.1 for all devices) for flo (I doubt this exists but maybe)

Remember, my N7 is otherwise useless to me, so I don't really care what it takes to make this work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
You have to wipe internal storage. To go back from anything 5.0 and up to anything lower.

Format data along with wiping internal storage.

So it looks like you tried everything except the actual solution... LoL.

Good luck
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rondnelson99:
I didn't mention it, but I actually did wipe internal storage, and then transferred the zip from the computer via twrp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
Format data (simple wipe usually isn't enough) and type yes in TWRP
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rondnelson99:
OK so I tried that, but it still doesn't work. Gets stuck on the Google screen when I reboot. I am supposed to wipe system first, right? Do I need to flash a 4.3 system image as well or something like that?

Thanks for all your help!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] madbat99:
Wipe everything. Format data, and flash the ROM of choice. If it sits for a while on Google, force a reboot by holding power.

If that doesn't work try flashing a 4.3 factory image and then Boot it up then flash to CM10 ROM you want to use

make sure you haven't resized your partitions or anything crazy like that make sure your data is formatted to ext4 not f2fs. basically undo any changes you've done as you've been flashing ROMs for the life of this tablet

Hello, with the release of Android Q GSI port a new set of vendor files are necessary to boot the System properly since the ones available result in lots of FCs or boot loops, currently, the most stable vendor is MCAosp, but even that is unstable, so if someone is interested in testing or helping around with logs

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yshalsager:
First of all, don't spam developers like this.

Android Q current release is just the first beta build, and till the last beta release the only available ROMs will be SGSI which is too hacky.

You don't need to worry about Q for whyred till the official Q and its sources are out.

If you want to use sGSI, at least learn how to get logs, and provide it to a developer who is willing to help or even try to fix it yourself.

Look up the meaning of word help in dictionary and then come back.

You are politely ordering them to do a job. You are not asking for help. A child asks for help in his homework. When your car breaks down then you ask for help from strangers so that they can push it with you. Teacher helps a student when he has a doubt. And so on... Just open a dictionary. U will soon understand ordering someone to do something (for free) no matter how politely you ask will always be responded in such a way.

BTW its a person whom u tagged. Others won't respond well seeing how you respond to a developer response. Even if u ignore me u are in short harming your so called "help" post with such reply.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyrany:
you are being shortsighted I know who I tagged btw gladly this isn't my first android device or first day on XDA.

First of all, you don't know who is behind the group, probably there are already people working on that and that's why help is needed, even a simple tip is enough, nobody asked for a full vendor zip, and probably the other guy isn't English and chose the words poorly.

The way I see you and I are really just making offtopic here and neither of them needs an internet warrior to defend them

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
So I did what I thought was a routine thing, trying to restore system, boot, and data like I have on many phones before only to ended up in a bootloop or bootloader only not even able to boot a TWRP from fastboot.

After several hours of trying just about everything I finally faced the fact that I was not going to be able to restore any NANDROID backup I had do to A/B, encryption or the latest Android security patch?

However, you can get you phone running again quite easily with this thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 and using the flash-all option from a WIndows 10 VM (I am a Mac/Linux guy, but this does work from a Windows VM and is quick).

Before I re-installed anything I wanted to just verify that I could do a simple NANDROID backup of an empty phone with twrp / blu_spark and I can't under any case. Here's what I tried (with latest stock TWRP and latest Blu_Spark TWRP):

1) simple restore of data, system, boot -- > boots only to fastboot, need to recover with thread above

2) Recover with thread above, re-root (Magisk 18.1) and reinstall TWRP, boot ROM, then try restoring just data -- > same as #1

3) Recover using thread above, re-install TWRP, restore NANDROID, and re-run Magisk (suggest by a few) --> same as #1

My device is encrypted, and I could turn off encryption, but that is somewhat scary on a daily driver.

So has anyone successfully restored a NANDROID on a 9.0.4 rooted phone with the latest Android security patch and if so, what's the trick?

Thanks,

MW
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] magnamentis:
apparently is not matter of factly, i do nandroids and have restored from them various times with only 2-3 settings that i had to reset my way thereafter, hence it's apparently worth to retry, it works.

sometimes it helps to know that things are possible to put some more effort into something, knowing it can be worth it in case of success.

perhaps some remarks:

if your' phone is "empty" as you stated i recommend to first install factory image / stock rom latest OOS, i.e. 9.0.4

make nandroids of each partiton speparately and also restore them separately while don't nandroid the images, and cerrtainly don't restore those, only common partitions like system, boot, vendor, data.

system and vendor are present as normal partition as well as image partition, don't touch the later in any way.

all this only works if you restore on a phone that was bootable before you restore, for restoring to empty phones there are other procedures via fastboot commands and or stock rom via stock recovery if it's on device, else ADB comes in handy.

last but not least if you restore you have to restore everything, not only one partition especially not only system partition, won't work well or not at all depending.

1. Modem if corrupted, else not needed

2. EFS if corrupted, else not needed

3. Vendor start here if the previous rom was running well and make sure it's not been altered or you have to correct vendor backup in case you have more than one

4. System

5. Boot

6. Data

good luck
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
OK -- do tell, what settings did you use? And you have done this on OOS 9.0.4 with encryption, or did you disable decryption?

I'll happily delete or edit the post...it seems many are having problems with few solutions starting with 9.0.4...

Thanks,

MW
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] magnamentis:
the last restore i did on 9.0.3, since then i gave up on custom roms since OOS rooted + a few useful apps make OOS close to perfect for me

i'd not delete the thread, many reported issues with nandroids because the normal procedure to take one single backup and restore from twrp to an empty device does not work, one always need to first flash stock OOS to a clean slate before installing anything else or restoring anything.

and backups should be in increments not one single backup like it was possible on single slot devices.

restoring one single partition usuelly ends up in a mess except boot partition, boot, efs and modem can be restored as standalone restores without issues in most cases while flashing a kernel + magisk is still easier and safer than restoring a boot partition.

as to setttings i dunno what you mean, exactly and as to encryption, my device is and has bee encrypted at all times.

it's most important to use twrp- recovery by blue_spark, official standard recovery has issues ( at least always had as long as i tried using it) especially with verification in TWRP on encrypted devices. there is a risk to end up encrypted without any way to boot back into system or into twrp menu, hence use blue_spark's and all is well, user error exempt of course ;)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
Since reinstalling everything is going to take forever (at least another 4 hours)...I am going to disable encryption and do some more testing. I am now more certain than ever, no-one has successfully restored a NANDROID on an encrypted OOS 9.0.4 phone ever.

I am going to disable Force Encryption and AVB 2.0/dm-verity and try my restore again -- maybe then I can use one of my NANDROIDS. But doing this on an encrypted phone seems impossible. I guess if you use a screen PIN you files are still vulnerable to someone that knows bootloader and / or recovery, but I'll have to live with that.... Not being able to NANDRIOD restore is a killer...

Hello,

Everyonce in a while, my phone fills up its memory. I don't know how. I have a 2Gg card where I try to store everything. I try not to save anything at all on the phone itself but somehow my 40Mb storage manages to fill itself up. I have flashed it before and it helped. Do I have to keep doing that?

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
What browser are you using? It seems that the temporary files are going out of control. Clean your cache once in a while. Alternatively, you can redirect the cache to your SD card but it's not all that healthy for the SD card as it can lead to corruption.
[Wing, P4350 General] cesarmuselli:
I have WM6, on the Wing from T-Mobile. How do I clean the cache?
[Wing, P4350 General] ti2ibal1:
I do this about once a week. (I surf a lot!)

With IE open, click Menu - Tools - Options - Click the Memory tab - Delete Files.

There may be another way, but that's quick, easy and frees up a lot of space for me.

Hope that helps.
