[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom_Scott:
Hi guys,

I'm heavy in trouble with my Xperia Z1 tablet since I have flashed LineageOS 15.1 on that tablet by TWRP.

Short version:

The problem:

I was not be able to copy the TWRP to /FOTA partition by TWRP before. Since TWRP was replaced by a LineageOS recovery in the /boot partition and I do not find a way to install TWRP by this Lineage recovery, now I have a device with Lineage recovery only.

Long version

What did I do:

(1) The Lineage 15.1 was working fine for 5 minutes but when I have realized that I forget to install GApps I went to the recovery mode and surprisely the Lineage recovery was started.

(2) Now I did the mistake to wipe the /system and cache using that LineageOS recovery

(3) When I try to reinstall the 'twrp-3.2.3-0-pollux.img' or 'lineage-15.1-20190330-nightly-pollux-signed.zip' by Lineage recovery from SD card, the installation breaks with an error

"E:Unable to open /sideload/package.zip : Tranport endpoint is not connected

E:failed to map file

Installation aborted.".

Conclusion

Now I have a device with empty /FOTA and empty /system partition. The Lineage recovery is the only once I have on my device.

Also I'm wondering that the device is recognized as Android fastboot device from now on when I boot into bootloader.

Does there a way to reanimate my Xperia Z1 or do I have a valueable brick from now on ??

How can I write images to the /boot partition by Lineage recovery?

Thanks for help

Tom
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom_Scott:
Solved

Hi guys again,

thank you for your valuable support. I was be able to solve this issue by myself using the "fastboot" tool. With fastboot you can download a new fresh TWRP on '/boot' so that I was be ablte to install a new custom ROM.

Thanks

Tom

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangdt:
I flashed firmware with pit option to reformat all nand partitions to correct errors if it were there, but still not successes. The processes stay the same, flash then the phone restart to stock recovery then flashing something then crashed in the middle and finally went off.

I tried flash twrp and try to restore the phone by my stock rom backed up but the problem still there, the restoring breaked in the middle then turn off.

I guest i have some errors in the middle of the emmc so if the rom could be smaller then i can pass the problem.

Finally I unbricked the phone by flashing a smaller rom (an unoffical pie for trltedous) which only around 1gb zip. This time everything was passed then The phone boot in to the pie os.

After boot success, I tried to fullfil my phone by some data and magically pie full os can write full of my storage. I turn it of then use odin to flash stock firmware. This time everything ok.

From this case, I thing we should have a tiny flashable os to correct problem in emmc. As tiny as posible.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Lochman79:
When I reboot recovery after flashing a new rom and also flashing TWRP again (newest version), why are all my files "missing" and replaced with a bunch of weird looking files? Mind you, when I boot system and then go back to recovery, all the proper files are showing again.

Right now I flashed a new rom and TWRP and rebooted recovery and then tried to boot into system, but it keeps booting back to recovery and isn't showing my proper files, so I can't fix by flashing something else or using one of my backups.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
The same is happening to me trying to flash the latest OOS I'm on slot a, I flash the Magisk uninstaller, then OOS, then TWRP installer.. when I boot back to TWRP everything is just a garbled mix of file names.. I go to the reboot menu and select boot from "a" slot, and it's back to normal... Haven't tried anything else, still getting used to the whole a/b partition thing..

That is nice though, if the flash doesn't work, just go into recovery and boot from the other slot and it's the device as it was before flashing...

I also want to say if you wipe data it should boot.. if that doesn't work, you can format data in twrp.. clears your internal storage but it should boot...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] sensationvsgalaxy:
quick to the point:

is the 8gb ram version of the mi9 going to have more problems running custom recovery\kernel\roms that are made for the 6gb version?

I did read something about this in one thread here on xda about a week ago but I cant remember exactly what it was and I cannot find that thread\question anymore.

I am now suddenly interested in this cus I now have the possibility to actually buy such a 8gb\128gb version. It says ''global version''

I would be thankful to hear from some 8gb users or people who are experienced in this. (for example: people who flashed 6gb roms on 8 gb Oneplus devices )..:confused::confused:

Hi friend,

I hope I'm in the right place ...

I have an Android system of jvc model kw-v220bt installed my Mitsubishi, but the local importer of the system, has "locked" the system by removing the Google Play app, the file manager and any ability to make changes.

Is there a way I can add back to Google Play so I can add some apps to the system? The system has a USB port.

tnx

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philadocious:
So, I have an ol' Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) and its been rooted and the subject of many tests and projects over the few years I've owned it. I was reading an interesting thread (on XDA...I believe) about installing a linux partition and turning the thing into a tiny penguin machine. I was intrigued, so I downloaded the required applications and tools, backed up the device and went to town. Outside of rooting and porting various ROMs, not a whole lot has been done to this lil' guy with regard to destop OS stuff. Its been wiped and restored a bunch even bricked it a few times in the process. I was always able to bring it back to life with TWRP and a shortlist of KK/JB ROMs. After attempting this linux partition I'm finding that I can load and boot to recovery fine. However, when I install a ROM or restore a backup I can no longer boot to recovery. Another noticeable issue is that it will not charge while off. Connecting power prompts a boot, it does charge, but it has to be on. My best guess is that I corrupted the bootloader somehow. So, looking for suggestions or guidence on a fix. Biggest issue is finding stock 'wares for it, its been EOL for some time now. Thanks for reading, looking forward to responses. I'm a n00b to posting, but savvy enough to get technical details if any additional information is needed to assist.

Appreciate y'all. :good:

Was able to get the kernel from Samsung's opensource catalog and compile the stock. Also, to fix the main issue, had to track down the old stock recovery and create a tar for Odin.

Got it done. Thanks for everyone who looked at it at least. I guess the growing number of folks viewing and not offering any suggestions was motivation to dig deeper into the webz and find what I needed to fix my ol' tablet.

Thanks again fam. I'll post a how-to on a relative thread later.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] hozjacz:
Hi, I tried to find something about the issue, which I have, but nowhere is the same problem, so I tried to create the new thread...

I have the company phone Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (SM-A520F) with the stock ROM (now with Oreo) and I got the new company car with build-it bluetooth (Volkswagen). I tried to pair the phone with the car and everything looks good. A few first calls were without any trouble. But now happens very ofter (almost in 99% attempts), that I have connected phone to car and

- somebody call me

- I call to somebody (via touch on contact in infotainment in car)

- I call to somebody (via touch on phone application on mobile phone)

the call is starting and in the same time is the BT connection interupted. And there are two possibilities:

- BT on SGA5 is still turned on, but disconnected from car

- BT on SGA5 is turned off (somehow)

You can say, there is trouble with your car, but I tested is with the other mobile phone (Nexus 5X) and everything works properly.

That's why I think, that the trouble isn't in car, but in the phone. And of course I did the wipe of whole phone and after that I tried it again, but with the same results.

Does somebody the same/similar experience? Is there some solution? Because no possibility to call in car is horrible for me and I can only get a new phone in the summer (it is too long time without call from car).

Thank you in advance

alright.. i had a 8525 b4 i bought my tilt but just wanted a backup phone.. for when i'm flashing my phone and reinstalling stuff since it takes me a while to fully put everything back with such a hectic schedule.. i remember some radios having bad signal and thought maybe of jus reflashing the radio.. so i just wanted to see other peoples opinions as to whether it could have been a hardware issue..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Deleted member 804010:
I picked up my used 8525 on ebay - and the original owner also mentioned that he dropped the odd call here and there - and was having communications issues with the sd card.

I did some reading and searching on this site - and there are radios that have better reception than others - and dropped calls can be radio related.

I thought that the majority of the issues were software related - so took a chance, and picked up the phone.

I payed $50.00 - and thought it to be an okay price to pay on a maybe phone. I unlocked and installed HardSpl and have been flashing roms for a few weeks now.

Not a single dropped call - and no communication issues with the sd card.

Good luck with whatever you choose

Have a good one

I re-flashed it to Official WM6 from ATT. It has IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10.Olipro Hard SPL v7. It has been a stellar phone.

It has 2 scrapes on the outer edge( before I got it a helmet) and NO scratches on the screen.

What is a fair price for a buyer and myself? I'm not looking to get over on anyone; I want buyer and myself to be happy.

Would come with all original boxes and power cables, 1gig micro SD, extra battery, charging stand.

i have all my original accessories & i'm throwin in a 2gb card. plus i have a load of software for the phone. right now it has the official at&t wm6 rom.

ps: if anyone is interested contact me darx07(at)gmail.com

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, update on the lockscreen crashing bug! I figured out the REAL culprit!

Backup EVERYTHING important off of your device, as this WILL completely wipe your userdata (internal storage).

(optional) Remove the lockscreen security from the system and then create a TWRP backup of data.

Reboot to boot loader

Please ensure you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC's OS.

fastboot format -w userdata

Reboot to system

(optional) Reboot to recovery and in Settings enable "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" and restore a TWRP data backup.

Setup lockscreen security and reboot a lot of times and see if it works ok and then report back your results.

If you wish, you can then change device firmware via TWRP installation with one of these:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-for-x2/files/Firmware Updates/

You can also change splash screen to something like the official LeEco ones via TWRP installation with one of these:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-for-x2/files/Mods and Tweaks/

NOTES:

please use the official platform tools for Android adb and fastboot from here:

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

I think the issue could be stemming from TWRP and the broken format function from the encryption footer days... Which could also explain why only some users who did format data were affected by this bug.

I know this fix has worked for both myself and lanciaogden

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79280116&postcount=652

Revisions:

Apr7, 2019 - switched to just fastboot format command since it turns out that's the real fix, no need for fastboot EUI ROM

Apr9, 2019 - added optional step to restore TWRP data backup

Apr11, 2019 - removed TWRP install step

Apr25, 2019 - droped "-u" from format instructions as older versions of fastboot doesn't seem to have it

Sept6, 2019 - added recommended version of platform tools for adb and fastboot from Google

Jan 30, 2022 - added removal of lockscreen security before creating a TWRP backup in that optional step
