[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
I'm no stranger to rooting and ROM'ing I've been doing it for years now. However I've never had an a/b device and it's confusing me I have a T-Mobile variant switched to international the bootloader is unlocked I'm rooted with magisk 18.1, and TWRP 3.3.0-2 and I have OOS 9.0.12 installed. I don't understand having OOS as a base ROM for other custom ROMs, some people say to flash OOS twice because apparently it goes into both slot a and b but then twrp encrypts data forcing you to msmtool. I know to take any password and finger print off the phone before switching ROMs and to change the lock screen to none.

My understanding of the steps to follow are

Reboot into TWRP

Wipe like you normally would

Flash custom ROM if your choosing

Flash TWRP (so you don't lose TWRP)

Reboot into the ROM

Reboot into recovery and flash magisk and gapps if needed

Reboot and everything should be good

If that's correct please let me know and I appreciate the help
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] farhan20:
First you need to flash OOS stable because of vendor and second to avoid the bugs. If you flash open beta u will face alot of face issues that why stable is always recommend to flash before flashing ROM and it's also must to flash before flashing ROM again same thing to avoid bugs but it's personal choice if u flash Rom and face any Issue flash OOS stable and then flash Rom. If u don't flash OOS and u didn't face any Issue you are fine that's my experience so far if I flash issue I repeat but stable first then custom and 99% bugs fixed that I "Only" face ..

And method yes that is correct for flashing ROM at least for me I followed always and nothing happens!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
I flashed OOS 9.0.12 yesterday because I switched ROMS with 9.0.11 and it resulted in a msm flash, turns out switching roms from 9.0.11 is a bad idea. But after updating I flashed havoc OS and everything is all good. We appreciate the answer I understand it a little better now
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Nsane457:
A/B slotting implies having a pair of partitions for most partition types (eg., Boot, System, etc...). This does not include the Data partition, however. The purpose was never to allow the coexistence of multiple ROMs but to install an OTA stock update into the unused slot while you're already using the ROM. That way if there's an error during the update process, the OS can choose not to switch over to the updated partition on reboot and continue using the current one. This redundancy is why they were able and willing to scrap the Recovery partition, too.

When flashing a ROM for an A/B device, it actually flashes to the slot you are currently not using. Then upon reboot, it switches to that slot. This is why to maintain TWRP, you need to run TWRP installer after flashing the ROM but before the reboot. Otherwise, restarting into recovery would restart into the ROMs recovery or stock recovery. The TWRP installer unconditionally patches tho Boot partition of both slots. Note that other installers like Magisk and GApps do not. If you were to install Magisk before rebooting, it would install to the currently active slot, not the one the ROM was installed to.

After flashing the ROM and TWRP and rebooting into recovery, the slot would then be set to the newly installed ROM's slot and you can finish installing Magisk and/or GApps. You would wipe data unless you're dirty flashing an updated ROM. If you've removed security password/pin/pattern before flashing it's safe to flash before rebooting in recovery. In situations where I still had such security on, I had to wipe data after rebooting into recovery to maintain working decryption. Taking off the password/pin/pattern before flashing effectively disables the encryption of files on the data partition making it easier to transition to another ROM without any decryption problems.

Whether you need to flash OOS before flashing a ROM, I presume, would depend on whether the ROM, itself, is OOS based. It's not necessary for a non-OOS ROMs. There is a nasty problem that creeps up with OOS based ROMs in which it might boot-loop into recovery. I assume the double flashing might prevent that, though my experience with that problem is after a TWRP restore of OOS stock. You could use msmtool in such a situation as stated, but I always get rid of it by flashing stock Boot partition in fastboot, booting into stock recovery, and factory reset + erase sdcard.

Don't reboot into ROM before reboot into recovery and make sure to take off Pin/Password/Pattern/Fingerprints before booting into TWRP. Otherwise, this should be fine. For the wipe stage, you don't even need to wipe System or Boot (never Boot), in my experience. Just Data and Dalvik, if not dirty flashing the same ROM type.

[Crosscall Smartphones] PastaBox:
Hi everyone,

Since the X3 is two years old, I was wondering if anyone had found a way to root this phone that hasn't been posted on this forum?

I tried all the "classic" ways to root it but none worked.

Rooting would be great since the only thing this phone misses is a good amount of RAM, which can be fixed only by rooting.

PS: Alternatively, is there a way for me to "create" a root by myself?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Leito360:
Hello, I've been trying to root my phone, I followed a guide that tell me to

fastboot flash twrp.img

and got all my data wiped for some reason. LATER, i found out that you souldn't be doing that, instead you should be doing

fastboot boot twrp.img

But by then, I got everything on my phone deleted (i flashed an original rom from MI forums and restored a manual backup of data and some apps i had, but still I lost like a day setting up everything).

My questions are, if I hotboot TWRP will I get my data wiped again? (my bootloader is still unlocked so no danger there)

If not, can I backup my data normally using TWRP GUI on hotboot?

Also, once I've installed magisk, will I stop receiving OTAs?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] BlackChimaera:
No, you won't get data wiped if you boot twrp. I'm doing this periodically and everithing is ok.

Probably you flashed twrp wrong. It should be

You can receive ota's with magisk. Prior to installing ota, you should uninstall/"restore partitions" with magisk but not reboot. After ota is installed, you install magisk into secondary partition (with magisk manager) and reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Leito360:
But isn't HIGHLY recommended to NOT flash the recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] BlackChimaera:
I'm not flashing it too, just "fastboot boot" it when I need it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Leito360:
I hotbooted TWRP and made a backup, after rebooting from TWRP, the phone boots slowly and hangs at the lock screen. Any ideas what could have triggered this?

The only "abnormal"thing i did was to rename the media folder in "data" so TWRP could include it into the backup. After that I renamed the folder to "media" again, and rebooted.

There was a "mediadrm" folder, but I don't remember if it was already there or not.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] BlackChimaera:
Why do you want to include media folder into backup? It has only mount points to sdcards. Do you want to include sdcard content into backup? Where is backup stored? On the same sdcard which content you backing up?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Leito360:
Media folder has internal storage. Anyway, i was able to boot again by flashing to latest stock rom and then restoring "data" from my backup.

I'm on weekly 9.4.11 but it's always been like that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonC89:
Okay,where do I start.

So I bought this phone off a friend of a friend(I was going to sell it on for profit as it was a good deal).

I noticed when trying to update that it was telling me it was an unauthorised software, so i took it the device was rooted.

I then factory reset the device to see would it go back to factory settings, but just stayed on the custom firmware.

I then decided to flash stock firmware onto the device from Sammobile (device boots up with Three logo so I assumed it was with Three Ireland network so that's the firmware I chose.

After flashing the device it boot up with a dm verity error and would only go as far as the Three logo. After some research I found a discussion and followed the steps in this, flashing a file called CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f. After doing this the dm verity error had gone and the phone booted up fine.

I left the phone like this, as I was going to sell it at a later date. Before I sold it I had one last test of the device and noticed it would not connect to a mobile network (I don't think this issue was there when I first got the phone as I am nearly sure I tested my sim card in it, but cant be sure). I just kept getting 'not registered on network' error.

After some more research I downloaded the Samsung info app and ran it. I then noticed a few strange things.

1). The serial number of the device was just showing up as a string of 0's.

2). The imei number that was listed did not match the imei on the back of the phone.

3). The carrier was showing as O2 UK, but Im not sure if this is an issue as O2 and Three are basically the same network here in Ireland (Three took over O2 here).

After doing an imei check, I found the imei listed on the back of the phone to be fine and was showing all the right details, serial number etc. But the imei that was listed as the imei of the phone, in settings and using *#06# was showing up as not existing.

I found this very strange and I'm sure this has something to do with why it can't connect to a network.

Any suggestion on getting this device back working properly as it is just a paperweight now as it is, and after spending money to buy it so I could sell it on I don't want to have wasted that money for nothing.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo.absi:
Hi there.

I live in Yemen too and have the same problem.

After searching and trying for months I found some temporary solutions.

.

1.The problem is with CDMA sim. So when you use a GSM sim it may work.

2. Remove your SIM and restart the phone. Everything will work just fine. However, after inserting your SIM again the problem will happen again.

3. Some apps may require turning on vpn (USA) and then clearing cache for apps.

But after you turn off the vpn the apps stop working.

Note*

Just remove your sim whenever you need to update apps from galaxy app store.

And never dream about using BIXBY using (Yemen Mobile 3g) or (Yemen Net)[emoji23][emoji23]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adenbird:
Dears ,

I have the same issue , the issue in the sim card , if you replace you sim with Yemen mobile max it may work.

if you already have other solution please share it.

Hey I have a Verizon retail unit I'm reviewing and figured I start a thread about it with what I'm experiencing as I go.

I did an unboxing and first look comparing it to the V40 and the Pixel 3. https://youtu.be/fFcwGiNcJkw

First I must say I like that LG launched this with Android Pie, V40 still waiting. Also it's great to have a wide angle camera back. I stopped using the v40 since it did not have pie and could not set it up from my daily pixel 3 because of it.

I have popped a Verizon sim in so real world testing has started. I will be taking it down to a NASA launch this week so will be taking LOTS of photos and videos with it over the next week. Be sure to follow me [MENTION=2938897]jerflash[/MENTION] on Instagram and Twitter for first look at photos.

Love the LG G8 that I’ve purchased from T-Mobile though I have major issues that might make me trade it in for a Oneplus 7 (if T-Mobile sells it).

work on improving face ID and hand ID for better security features

use TOF camera to create excellent selfies

update the Lg skin already to something more modern UI

full screen gestures as an option (pill gestures are terrible)

perfect night mode in the camera app

Finally, to make a difference join the google android Q beta and be first since both of your phones were out early.

With these problems, if the one plus 7 comes with the 48 mega pixel Sony sensor for binning support, 6.2 – 6.4 inches display and how fast they do updates will make me trade in LG G8.

Just upgraded from the V30+ myself. I really like how the screen looks. I did like my V30+ but it had a really terrible screen to look at during the night and with comfort view. I cycled through 3 units to find one bearable. The G8, aside from the slippery body, is a really great device.

Of course I wasn't planning on upgrading but T-Mobile offered $310 trade in and the device was seeming to run slowly. Then one tiny black, what I'd assume was a dead spot, showed up.

Instead of the hassle of trying a warranty claim, figured it was time to move on. That tiny dot wasn't noticeable to anyone but me. So I said bye to it and an enjoying the G8.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrivenKeys:
Just wanted to add props for the pro mode. Not only does it have all the tools you want, there is an awesome feature called "Graphy". When you tap the button, it automatically adjusts settings to a comfortable point, then shows you which controls will make the most difference to your shot. If you're trying to learn, it makes it easy and rewarding to gradually shift away from auto modes. I's also very helpful if you were shooting in pro last night, and want to quickly reset everything.

Samsung also has a robust pro mode, but I used it a lot less than I wanted. Typically, the shot would be lost before I could adjust. Graphy lets me quickly start with auto, then tweak settings and get the shot before the subject has moved on.
