[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] venu44:
Every os has its ups and downs. Try evrythng and see what works best for u. U might be a battery person or a guy who like customisation or outright performance. Or u just want something stable and light. I would suggest try lineage 16, aosp 6, rr 7 and Crdroid 5.2. One of these should satisfy you.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] ascender13:
Given this is my 1 and only phone and I also run a business off it I'm not looking to experiment with different roms.

I just want one that will work as well as stock.....including battery life.......but hopefully have more recent security patches.

I've heard android 9 sucks the life out of batteries so that would mean lineage 16 would not be suitable I guess.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] hackiee:
Who told u that :confused:

Coz, AFA many users of P2 are concerned, including me, having the best battery out here. If you want to experience try Crdroid, its having so far pretty good SOT and with less or almost no bugs,which can prevent it from becoming a daily driver. :fingers-crossed:
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] alirazaagha:
My suggestion would be to go through phases of upgrading;

Install a treble enabled TWRP that should be available in LOS 15 page.

Install LOS 15 for updating treble A only partition (check the whole process for that in LOS 15 page)

Then, install RR 7 of 3rd April for updating vendor partition to latest security patch (later versions have bugs)

Now, you are in a position to have a ROM of your choice, if you want a up-to-date ROM without many issues and minimal customization then opt for LOS 16 or Mokee Pie. If you want plenty of customization with stability then go for CrDroid Pie. If you want a ROM which is up-to-date and have plenty of customization then look for AEX Pie or Havoc 2.4 (13th April version as later versions of Havoc 2.4 are buggy). For rooting, you can use Magisk 19.0 without issues whereas, nano gApps work fine.

You will have to go through all this cycle before resorting to a ROM of your choice. However, when securing lock screen with fingerprint; don't opt for encrypting phone at start. Just select "NO" when asked otherwise phone camera and torch won't work.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lesterf:
Hello,

Just hard-bricked my used PH-1 phone trying to flash a version of PIE from Essential's web site.

I used the USB cable that came with the phone, and am now reading that this can brick the phone.

It is completely unresponsive and won't turn on. My PC recognizes it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

I've seen some older posts related to this issue, but none where it was fixed. Does anyone know of a way to fix the phone?

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Nope...

The only successful unbricking was a motherboard transplant... Which requires another device... And some serious know how

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RealzGizmo:
I can't find any instructions on how to install this Custom ROM I have found instructions for other ROM's that say you have to use Blue Star twrp, is there any reason for having to use this? and can anyone else give full instructions on how to install CarbonROM and what you need for it? Is it the same for all OnePlus 6 custom ROM's?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Why not ask in their thread? Easiest. Answer is that it's the same as all custom roms. Make sure you have oos on both slots
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RealzGizmo:
When installing the blue star TWRP do I just install it through my other TWRP and it will automatically replace it?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Blunts47:
No make sure you boot into bootloader then in adb type

Fastboot boot blu_spark_twrp.img

Then copy Blu_spark_twrp.zip over to phone and flash using Blu spark twrp that you booted
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mixlex:
Flash the zip file, not the image file. Flash it in your twrp.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Yes. If you already have a twrp installed then you can just flash the zip
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RealzGizmo:
Thank you, are you talking about if I don't have a TWRP cause I already have one installed, also wondering why I need the Blu Star TWRP instead of the other one? Also, if I want to put OxygenOS on both A and B partitions does the blu star recovery still remain?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RealzGizmo:
I think he was talking about if I didn't have a twrp already, so I can just flash it in my old twrp and it will replace it?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fuarkgl3:
Where can i find blue star twrp?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Like I said before. Yes. Just flash it in twrp to get the updated one.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Piatch:
hi, so I was trying to unlock the bootloader before attempting to use an AOSP pie rom using this guide on the official LG site http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

Anyway when I come to step 9, I type "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone reboots in fastboot mode. Then when I type "fastboot oem device-id" the phone freezes and I have to press the power button to restart it, meanwhile in the powershell command page it says

C:\Users\chahi\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-id
FAILED (Write to device failed (No such file or directory))
fastboot: error: Command failed

I checked my drivers and everything seems to work perfectly fine. I am at my fifth attempt and I'm beginning to feel pretty desperate. If anyone encountered the same problem or could help me solve this I will be very thankful !

Thanks in advance.

NB : I'm on windows 10 and my phone is running the korean pie rom.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I cannot 100% say what the cause is with certainty (I have the Sprint version and I absolutely hate this piece of trash) but others have reported similar issues from actually having a different variant that was cross-flashed to the EM model and sold as EM when it's really a Sprint version (for example). What happens when you enter your IMEI number in LG site, does it return the EM variant or something else? That's where I would start (unless you have already done this and confirmed it's EM). Non EM versions lack the full ADB support so we can't unlock the bootloader. This is the same point I lockup as well but mine was not intended to be unlocked.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Piatch:
Thank you for the quick response !

Yes I actually typed my IMEI in the LG site and it gave me a gray OK so I guess I truly have the EM version ? (knowing that only the EM is supported idk) Are there other methods to make sure I have the EM version for sure ? Also worth noting that I bought the phone new from North Africa so it must be the european version and not a carrier one.

Thank you !
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Not that I'm aware of but if the LGdev site let you get the unlock code then I will assume it's real as they do validate it. Normally I would suggest to reach out to LG but that's a waste, they won't help. In fact they shutdown the dev recently because of unlock requests so they don't care about us so that won't help you. I'll do some research and see if there's any official way to help but hopefully others will chime in with the answers.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Piatch:
That's what I actually did, I sent them an email but I'm still without any response. Thank you for your help tho ! Is there any unofficial way to unlock the bootloader on the LG G7 that I'm unaware of ?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Good luck with LG, they most likely will do nothing to assist you. That's my biggest gripe with LG, they suck with customer care nor give 2 craps about us, the customers. My LGG7 sucks so bad, it's barely usable but they will not do anything to help me nor Sprint so I'm leaving both once my horrible lease is up. All I can say is to sign the bootloader petition and leave LG, it's the only way they will ever change and even then, they probably won't. They will soon be out of business just like Blackberry's downfall and for the same reasons. They don't listen to the customers and change, nor did RIM with activesync, now RIM is a mere fraction of what they used to be, LG mobile is next. I hear so many complaints about LG devices, not just LG mobile but the entire company. All the same type of complaints across all LG products, no customer support when the device stops working and they pass the buck every time, and locked bootloaders (for LG mobile).

There is no unofficial unlock yet, that's why I'm so unhappy with the piece of junk! If I could unlock and install my own flavor of AOSP then it would be an entirely different story and I would fix my own issues and have an awesome device. Instead the jackalope in charge of LG decided to keep the bootloaders locked with no support to unlock (except for EM) but even that barely works (your issue).

I don't know what else to say except LG SUCKS, LG is terrible. I so wish I hadn't let the Sprint rep bully me into this horrific device. I should have stood my ground and not accepted the deal which came with this expensive paperweight (LGG7).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
You can always pay to get your phone unlocked
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
SIM unlocked, yes, bootloader unlocked, no (on Sprint and everything other than the European model, no, EM model, yes), the rest of us, no, huge difference. I would pay a small fortune if bootloader unlocks were possible and why I bought the LG octoplus, still no option yet unfortunately.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
It's possible to pay for a hacker in china to unlock the phone (bootloader unlock)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Send me the info please
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
I don't know from where exactly. You have to find it yourself but eBay is a place to start.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Are you 100% sure this is not SIM unlocked using a modified octoplus (I have already gone down this path) so I bought my own octoplus. I am pretty sure all these "unlock" are merely SIM unlocks and not bootloader unlocks. I've investigated this pretty deep and it was only SIM unlocks not bootloader. As far as I'm aware, there is no hacks or mods to unlock the bootloaders for any LG G7 as of yet. eBay results are all SIM (which is simply using oct to apply the US-unkocked m ok model unlocking the SIM).

If you can find a REAL bootloader unlock method that works and unlocks my bootloader, I will PayPal you 20-30 bucks (I'm not joking). There is no method yet that anyone I know, knows of.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
It's not sim unlock

It works by installing g710em bootloader and then flashing an unlock.bin .It's actual bootloader unlock. You can probably even do it yourself on a octopus box but I'm not sure what does it allow and not allow you to do.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Fantastic then I will investigate this new theory and if it works, reply to everyone. I've been waiting for this since day 1 with this terrible G7, I HATE this device and OS.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

If does exist, I can't find it on eBay or the internet, only SIM unlocks. I will keep checking but I don't see anything to unlock the G7 bootloaders.

Hey Piatch, i'm stuck on your same situation!

I have a new LMG710EM taken a month ago in a store, today with the Pie release (I'm in Italy) I found some time to unlock the bootloader, root, debrand (my G7 is TIM branded) and update to Pie.

I'm not new with LG, I come from G2, G5, G6 and now G7, never a problem (apart from the slowness in the updates I like them).

Well, just your situation, only the wording is a bit different, to me it says FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links)) then the phone reboots and freezes in G7 logo and I have to press the power button to restart it, like yours.

I've tried everything, even reading online, different USB cables, different fastboot versions, but nothing worked.

Then I unbranded via lgup refurbish option to have a clean install and reinstalled all, thinking that maybe the new OS would solve but nothing, same message.

Can anyone help us?

It is the first time in several years that I have not found a solution.

Thank you in advance
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Piatch:
Hi f0ster, I did not find any solution because I was lacking the time and tbh the skill to do it. I think we can't unlock the bootloader while under Pie ? Maybe if we roll back to Oreo, then we can unlock it and then update to Pie again ? I don't have the skills nor the confidence to safely flash Oreo on the G7 (I had bad experiences with bootlooping on the G3 and G4). Maybe you could try this way and see if it works out for you ?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] f0ster52:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] OpenGalaxy:
So I got a Samsung galaxy s7, and I left it at my mothers home when I had to take care of my grandmother. 3 months later, I seem to have forgotten the pattern I used and am locked out of the phone. I've tried a few different solutions to my problem and I can't seem to find a method to unlock the phone without losing all my data. Additionally I don't have TWRP installed and the usb debug mode is not enabled, I also believe airplane mode is on. My phone however is not carrier locked, if that makes any difference. Is there a way to bypass the pattern instead with finger print scan?

I've tried:

- Remotely unlocking the phone via wifi and "findmymobile.samsung.com" for whatever reasons my phone isn't connecting to wifi and I can't get it to unlock. Is there a way to enable wifi when its locked?

- Using "Aroma File manager", unfortunately I get an error message "signature verification failed" from my understanding I can disable this via "TWRP". However because my phone is locked I can't install it. Is there away to remove signature verification another way?

What option do I have left?

Hi,

1 years ago i had flashed the windows mobile 5 to my mpx200, but it didn't worked.

I don't know, if it was an accident, that the phone was after this flash death, or i did something wrong. I sent it to Motorola and they sayed the memory in the device was death and they changed the memory. :D

2 Monts later i gave the device to my dad, because i bought a HTC Wizard.

Now he want's a new rom for the old phone and i want to know, was it an accident? Maybe it was the Memory Card? But which Cards are compatible for flashing Windows Mobile 5, 6.0 or 6.1? It's an 1GB Extrememory Card.

Needs the Phone more battery with an WM6.1 rom? At the moment, there is an Windows mobile 2003 Rom on it and the Battery just holds 2 Days, without doint something with the Phone!

Thanks!

(Sorry for my bad englisch, but i'm from Germany :))
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] empex:
Hello!

A developer called Win_XP told us in an other thread that some of the mpx200

phones cannot be flashed to WM5, 6 or 6.1 because of a hardware issue. So in case you did everything perfectly at the flashing you might have one of that phones.

Anyway here is a link for WM6.1, you can get some information about flashing here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=383687

It's much easier to flash it than WM5 so if you think you can give it a try (at your own risk of course).

My battery works 2 or 3 days with wm6.1 I think it's okay.

Yes, thats right, some phones with non-samsung flash chip don't works with WM5,6,6.1 :)

I saw something a bit odd here. It says here on specs that secondary sim only supports voice but from what I know is that both SIM cards support data. Is there something wrong here? Do both sim slots not support data? To the best of my knowledge with this phone you can have two SIM cards and use data on both of them allowing you to download two WeChat apps and have two numbers for each WeChat account on one smartphone. Is this not the case now?? See link from HK below and look at the bottom of the specs page for supported bands on SIM card tray.

Hi

I don't have a second SIM handy but looking at the settings you set the phone with a default SIM for calling and a default for data. Makes sense you would have to do this. So outbound calls and default use of data is pushed through either SIM. Don't know if that helps....

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Morghoth:
So charging is extremely slow now: max 280mA showing in Ampere app. Tried different cables and chargers(QC3.0 certified), charging speed remains the same.

I can't connect to PC anymore. Windows doesn't even make a sound when I connect the phone to PC. Showing no device.

Headphones connected to USB port are playing only one audio channel.

I've been using LOS 15.1 since last summer without problems, haven't done any updates since. The problem with USB port emerged a month ago and I am almost convinced it's a HW issue. AIDA64 indicates no temperatures over 36°C in thermal section so sensors are working fine I guess.

Anyone tried these charging ports from Aliexpress? Comments indicate that they are not the same as the original.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] xumixu:
It really sounds as hardware problem. I asume you already tried with the phone off, and after factory reset and the problem persists.

In my experience, the original lower board have fuses which are expensive and are replaced by resistors on chinese replacements. If you dont want to lose this, try going into a repair shop and have the USB-C port replaced or desoldered/resoldered from the board. Must be done by experienced guy or it will be melted.

I'd buy the replacement board anyway. As long as you don't use crappy chargers, you shouldnt need the fuse too much, and also, the phone have another fuse in the motherboard.

If you have not tried with the phone off, try it. I got the xiaomi wireless charger and it works like crap with the phone on. it disconnects/maintains chage/stops charging A LOT, but if I charge the phone turned off it charges without issues at full power (8-10W according to my USB meter). Maybe is just the firmware being an ass
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Morghoth:
Thank you for insights. I confirm that hard reset nor charging solved the missing QC3.0 functionality. It's clearly a HW issue.

The whole situation was caused by losing my original charger on a trip and then using certified QC3.0 charger (not from Xiaomi) and unfortunately - cheap Chinese micro USB C cable. I can't stress this more... Never use cheap cables (or chargers) they can literally fry up your port. In this case it was definitely the cable eventhough it worked fine for 5 months.

It seems (from comments) that beside fuses the charging ports from Aliexpress are missing the possibility to transfer data over USB as well. Which is not that crucial because FTP over WiFi is bearable. The real problem that I need to fix is quick charging because with 280mA on Ampere app it takes 5 hours to charge this phone.

The charging port I've bought on Ali is on its way so I will update this thread in a few weeks after inserting it into the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] xumixu:
Losing data over usb is quite a problem if you are into custom roms/mods on native miui (which resets the recovery on each update).

Hope that ali's board does have this funcionality. About charging, you can get locally a wireless charger for now, though for me it only charges fast when the phone is idle, using it always just keeps the charge (probably to avoid overheating).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] tmkap:
So how the story ends? We're you able to solve the problem?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] nabeelmoeen:
I had the same issue with my Mix 2. bought a replacement port from Aliexpress and Witrigs.com. As posted on most forums these replacement ports don't support fast charging (in most cases) and no USB data transfer (this is the case with mine).

I had dropped a message on the witrigs.com website to confirm if their supposedly 'OEM' replacement supports data over USB (it looks much more like the original board in the phone that the 'custom' replica one that is half the price).

but I'm not very hopeful of that being the case, given someone has already left a comment on the product page indicating they bought the OEM version and faced the same issue with no quick charging or USB data transfer

I know it's old, but I'll let you in on my problem.

I have the Mi Mix 2 and it was happily fast charging until recently. Still the original plug and cable

I have tried all sorts of theories to get it fixed and one person said to charge it while turned off

So I plugged in my usb cable and turned off my phone. Only for it to automatically fire up and go into fastboot. No charging. Just fastboot on the screen

Obviously I can get out of fastboot mode again, but is mine an option change in the settings that needs addressing?
