So, it's ok to let the Location "ON" and just disable everything under "improve accuracy"? The battery draining isn't significant for location "on" or "off"?

I remember in Oreo we had the opportunity to set it on battery saving.

I have flashed gpt.bin file of Potter and I am unable to downgrade or move back to sanders in my Moto G5s Plus (Sander). Help Please!! :confused:
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Hyde1234:
I was assited with a dev on here named pizzaboy192

He had me for load oem.img through the terminal commands.

He uploaded the oem.zip and he has a special recovery.img file to use to do a proper oem backup.

Here is a quote of our converstation.

After all that i am still not perfect. I used a twrp backup of oreo I found. It is the only way I can load anything on my phone is though a backup/restore.

I can't flash anything, and I can't adbside load anything either.

You can download the twrprecovery file from his post.

"Visit my XDA profile (I'm on mobile right now) and find my post about TWRP for stock. It's a special version I threw together to backup the OEM partition properly since TWRP normally doesn't.

What we're going to do is fastboot boot TWRP (not flash it) and then restore a backup of the Oreo OEM partition using TWRP.

Then fastboot flash all other Oreo partitions. Any Oreo ROM will work just to get you running, and it should take otas too."

next message:

"OK we're going to force OEM onto it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WUw...ew?usp=sharing

That is the OEM partition but compressed. It should extract to a 768MB file (roughly that size)

copy it somewhere on the phone (TWRP should allow you to mount the internal storage as a USB drive, if that doesn't work, try ADB Push and push it to somewhere like \tmp

Then you will need to use adb to do the following (TWRP is broken for ADB and the stuff it spits out to your computer is garbled. I wasn't ever able to fix it.)

type adb shell and it should dump you down into some garbled mess

hit enter a few times to make sure you're at the shell (it's a root user)

load up notepad, paste the following into it and edit it so it shows the right path for the extracted .img file on your phone

dd if=/tmp/oemoreoaug.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem

Copy that string and paste it into the adb window on your computer and hit enter. It will take a while to process it and then return an error about it running out of space before you hit the end of the file. that is OK (since your partition is too small)

Once it's finished, copy that result and send it to me just so I can have a clear idea what is going on.

Reboot into fastboot, reflash the oreo firmware but skip the line for OEM (it's kinda global, but not 100% but since moto hasn't released any updates since the oreo one and they don't seem to care, who cares as long as it works, right?) and then see if it boots. "

so if you get that to work,

then I was only able to do a restore using this file

MotoG5sPlus_Sanders_Android8.1Oreo_Oficial(ByYoungRockTech).rar

after that I did a full backup using Pizzaboys recovery, and now I am able to restore it at anytime.

Hi guys. I have a device called "Piranha IQ Dreams". It has 3 gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal memory and a MediaTek MT6753 processor. Phone is running Android 5.1 stock rom right now, I tried rooting it with KingRoot, but it is not working. Also, there isn't a single rom or recovery for this cheap phone. Is it possible to port a rom or gain root on this phone?

Thanks in advance and regards.

Hello, mitux!

I tried rooting my Piranha IQ Dreams phone with Kingroot and succeed. Which version of Kingroot did you use?

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Bedirhan! I actually rooted my phone with Kingroot a few days ago, but then I bricked it when I tried to replace it with SuperSU :'(

But hey, I have good news. I ported TWRP for this device and I can share it on this thread for testers if someone wants! (I didn't tested it yet)

Have a nice day!

Hey, Erdem!

Sorry about late reply. Can you share the TWRP recovery? Since the device doesn't have GApps in it, I want to test it via installing Open GApps. I hope, I don't delete the whole system again. :laugh:

Marka: KOOBEE halo h5. ÇİN in en ücra yerinden getirmişler.

Ama stock rom u Çin sitesinden indirmek çok büyük mesele. 1 günde 100mb indirebildim sadece. Buradaki arkadaşlar dosyayı indirip herhangi bir yere yükledikten sonra link atarsa çok büyük yardımı dokunur

I've been using this meret phone for 3 years. But I think I finally found the same thing.

Brand: KOOBEE halo h5. They brought them from the most remote parts of CHINA.

But downloading stock rom from the Chinese site is a big deal. I just downloaded 100mb in a day. Friends here download the file and upload a link to anywhere after the link is very helpful

Talked to a Samsung rep online and they told me no go on the Silver but the other 4 colors are available. For a replacement S-Pen I'd always suggest going with what Samsung sells from their official website. I never took a chance with Amazon or Ebay stuff. Sucks that they don't sell it in Silver. I'd just get a black one if I were you.

> cant open camera. error: camera may be i use by other application. try everything (delete cache, restart, remove permission, close app, reflash nougat) doesnt work.

possible reason may be because i messed up my drm or TA file while flashing via flashtool.

> thought maybe its nougat problem. so try to revert back to oreo.

> error: processing of system.sin finished with errors. probably because drm and TA thingy again.

> device now stuck in boot loop. try older version of flashtool 9.23, same problem 9.18 got error at even earlier stage of flashing.

>problem became worse. flash tool cant open bundle when i try to flash downloaded tft. probably because i made a mistake during downgrading and upgrading flashtool.

>now. i think ill try uninstall flashtool completely and reinstal it again. and download fresh tft. will update my progress later. hoping to at least able to open bundle back.

Restart your PC!

Disable antivirus software/ Windows Defender.

YOU JUST NEED TO FLASH AGAIN

Start flash tool and prepare Flashing.

Press (power and volume +) key until it vibrates 3 times.

Now connect the cable to phone first, holding the volume down (-) key and connect to your PC.

Flashtool will flash it don't worry!

Good Luck!!

[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Vegeta.:
Hello everyone, I present you how to install Android Pie 9.0.0 stock on your device Moto Z3 Play, remember to follow the indications any doubt write it in the comments please.:

Requirements:

- You can do both with the bootloader blocked and unlocked

- Have ADB and Fastboot installed: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

- Have Motorola drivers installed

- Download official Pie 9.0.0 firmware: https://xdaforums.com/z3-play/how-to/android-9-0-pie-rolling-brazil-t3900061/page5 Pag. 5 Post #45

BECKHAM_PPW29.131_27_1_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_ DEFAULT_CFC.xml

credits to the user [MENTION=4447874]tb110188[/MENTION] for uploading Onedrive

Process:

- Place the device in Bootloader mode connecting the device to the PC waiting for a few seconds to recognize it. After downloading the firmware we will have a folder where in the command console enter:

adb devices

Then adb reboot bootloader which will put the device in bootloader mode

- Enter the command:

fastboot devices to verify that it is recognized by the PC.

then the following:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase DDR

fastboot reboot

When entering this last command the device will reboot and show us the initial screen of Android Pie 9.0.0

Notes:

- These commands can be omitted to avoid having problems with the telephone signal (it is unlikely to happen but it is good to prevent)

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

- - This command will erase what is stored in the internal memory of the device, if you want to keep your data omit it

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

(Apparently this is to avoid signal loss according to the post, just in case :) .)

fastboot erase userdata

(This avoids having to reconfigure your Moto Z3 Play.)

This command gave me an error:

fastboot erase DDR

(invalid partition name DDR) but didn't cause problems with the installation or the use of my phone, I do not know if it is specific to my Moto Z3 Play.

Once the firmware files were extracted, I put these commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot bluetooth flash BTFM.bin

fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase DDR

fastboot reboot

and that's it!.
