I've got a Whitestone glass screen protector and the Samsung case has no problems, also have an Otterbox Symmetry case and no problem with that one either. Like was said most glass screen protectors don't go right to the edge so most case should have no trouble.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] metric_tensor:
I've got a brand new Motorola Moto G7 Power running Android 9.

I also have Ubuntu 19.04 running on my desktop.

I want to root the phone.

I've managed to unlock the bootloader using Motorola's online instructions and the adb and fastboot utilities that come with Linux.

The next step is to flash a custom recovery application on the recovery partition.

I'm trying to flash twrp-3.3.0-0-river.img, a new image that I grabbed from here.

When I tried to use fastboot to flash the image, I got this error:

After this failed attempt, I attempted to put my phone into recovery just to see what would happen.

What I got was a screen displaying the Android mascot on its back with its chest plate opened and a black exclamation point inside a red triangle.

The words "No Command" were displayed underneath the graphic.

After waiting a few minutes, the phone, on its own, booted normally.

My phone's OS seems to operate perfectly fine.

I can only surmise that whatever was originally on my recovery partition from the manufacturer has been wiped and there is now nothing on the recovery partition at all.

So, I decided to see if I could boot into the TWRP image directly without flashing it.

So, I ran this in the terminal window: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-river.img

I received this as a response:

There didn't seem to be any errors.

The phone, however, switched from the bootloader screen to the Motorola splash screen, and then just shut off with no further response.

So, what am I missing?

How can I flash this image onto the recovery partition of my phone?
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] Samuel TS:
this is normal

this is normal between recovery and when it looks like that android doll click on the button off and on the volume button up together and release the volume button and soon after releasing the power button and will appear the recovery stock

I'm exactly where you are my friend. Have you found any solutions, though?

Also, when my phone boots up it shows "bad key" and it seems to take a little longer to boot, but everything runs fine once it does.

I can only assume that these TWRP files don't work on this device/model. Thing is, I don't even wanna run a custom ROM, I just want to make a simple change to a root file to get the cast feature working on any smart TV, as Motorola has it disabled by default. I've tried patching the boot.img file using magisk, but when I try to flash it on to the cell phone I run into an error. I guess we're gonna have to wait until the official TWRP version comes out for this device. But if you find any other solution, please, do let me know. Thanks!
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] DREWHAMM974:
Guys next time please actually search for how to root the device you own. Or at the very least go to the GUIDES forum that is on the G7 Power page you had to go through to post this thread. The TWRP image you have is extremely alpha, which is why it's stuck in the Telegram group and not yet posted here on XDA.

Typically I'd tell you to use the search function but I'm honestly worried that you're going to brick your phone by randomly flashing things you haven't researched, to do things you don't understand, and to access features you don't know how to use. Recovery has had close to the same button combination for years (either holding volume up or down and power).

Because I'm scared you'll actually make your device a heavy paperweight here's the link, but please in the future research more. You are after all making system level changes that could destroy your device if done wrong or the wrong file is used. Not trying to attack you, just stating the truth.

Hey guys, just a piece of advice. Please read everything and research everything related to your device and everything related to the procedures you want to execute. After you gather all that info/knowledge then proceed to execute what you have learn. And please verify every single file be sure is targeted to your specific device if it's not DO NOT FLASH IT you will end with "pretty fancy paperweight" that means a damage permanently broken device.

Lately there has been a crowd of "New Blood" coming registering to the forum and most of them are not reading or following instructions. Please ask old/experienced members we are here willing to help new members in all we can, but first try to use the search function and be sure about what I stated in the first paragraph then you have the second option our support. Welcome to the family and happy flashing.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] DREWHAMM974:
Exactly. I don't mind new members coming in at all, and am happy to help when I can, but you need the right mindset if you're going to make changes to the actual system files of a relatively expensive device. New members please be ready and willing to search every time you have a question and have the patience to spend the time needed to fully grasp the procedures, and imo not just how to do what you are trying to do but to also understand what happens to which files when you do it and why those changes have to be made. If you are willing to spend the time to learn and understand these things you can greatly increase your enjoyment with your device. If you aren't you will eventually mess something up you can't fix and will then either be willing to spend the time you need or will completely walk away from the modding community.

Welcome to XDA. If you cant find the answer after searching feel free to ask questions and the community will help you out.
[HTC Excalibur] GeneralStuff:
Apologies if this appears elsewhere but I have looked without success. If it does then a link to the solution would be great.

Basically I found this site a few weeks ago and since then have been tinkering with my phone. I've tried various roms, added different programs, played about with the settings and so on. Today I have finally got it just how I want it. It is overclocked to run quickly but safely. The today screen is perfect. It contains everything I need including my huge list of contacts. And my theme is spot-on. However usually in life when everything is right something big and hairy appears out of nowhere and dumps on you. Its got to the point where I panic every time I turn it on just in case it crashes and I need to start all over again.

My question therefore is if anyone knows of a utility (or can give detailed instructions) to completely back up the phone. Right down to the user settings, theme and contacts. If possible maybe even to create a rom image of my phone so that if it does ever crash I can reinstall the whole thing from one simple file. I assume this sort of thing must be possible because Kavana and Ricky produce such wonderful roms with various programs, etc pre-installed.

Can it be done? And if so - can it be done by an enthusiastic amateur or do you need to be a tech guru? I should add I don't mind paying if I need to buy a piece of commercial software to achieve this.

Did you even bother to search google for "smartphone backup" ? The very first link that comes up, takes you right to the software you say you need. I apologize for being harsh, but I hate the lack of common sense...
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
An option

Not sure about the cooked 6.1 Roms. Maybe someone else might know or have tried.

I use this and it's well worth it.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
if u just mean the saved registry values and what not u can always export the registry so that way if u have to hard reset the phone or if a new amazingly wowlike rom is released and u NEED to flash u can always import the registry values of the chomes and it'll be the way u left it (thats what I do for my myfaves and my programs)
[HTC Excalibur] GeneralStuff:
No problem, and you are entitled to your opinion. however its replies like that which stop people making posts to forums like this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and one man's obvious "common sense" answer is another man's dilemma.

As for using google... yep I could have done that but google links to hundreds of pages, some owned by people trying to sell software which obviously means they won't be objective. Others have methods which could damage a phone and because I don't know the writers how do I know which methods to trust? Ergo I decided to come to site I know, with people whose technical knowhow I trust, and to search the forum and then ask them for advice. To me, that is common sense. Isn't that one of the reasons that places like this exist? So non techheads can ask guys like you for help?

No offence intended and, for what its worth, you are one of the guys whose advice on this forum has helped me countless times. So thank you for that no matter what. Without your posts I'd never have got this far in the first place! I mean that.

As for the other replies... thanks guys. I will look into the registry stuff. And I will certainly check out the software link. If I do find some info on google, I hope you folks will help me pick the best method to use and avoid bad advice.

Thanks again.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] OnionMaster03:
I searched everywhere but I couldn't find nowhere how to backup efs or persist partition, I just read the thread for twrp flashable stock oreo for moto g5 cedric and it says it is useful to backup them to save the phone in case of IMEI or VoLTE or 4G problems after the zip install but TWRP doesn't seems to backup them and online I didn't found guides.

EDIT:

To help people with the same problem I'll write here.

Thanks to TheFixItMan I've found the most easy solution which is to flash the TWRP 3.2.3-2 arm64 that has backup option for EFS and Persist, I'll quote here the answer with the link.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Use terminal commands to back up the partition - dd copy partition name to location

Or

Try this unofficial twrp and look at backup options

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MLlljM7BzMj9Da57LeyBHyg81cHdW1cB
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] OnionMaster03:
So the command I should use is:

dd copy persist to <location dir>

?

Should I use this on twrp Advanced > Terminal?

Are unofficial twrp safe?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
The command should look something like this - not tried it and don't own this device

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img

Yes enter it in twrp terminal - once done it will output persist.img to sdcard

To copy back just reverse the if and of parts of the command

Unofficial twrps are perfectly safe - all official builds that aren't build by twrp start off as unofficial and are just submitted to their repo to become official

You can always flash what ever recovery you want after

The one I gave I think has the backup option for persist - if not just try the terminal command
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] 1rdc:
OP, did you try the command? I'd like to backup mine as well
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] jpm92:
same question here! any updates? :o

EDIT: Managed to do it myself. I ended up pulling up the image through adb.

For all of you who are still wondering all I did is start adb and type the following:

Substitute C:\platform-tools with your local folder.

You can also use the code provided in the thread, but If you wanna retrieve the file, you should copy it to /external_sd instead of microsd (also you can do it from the adb shell instead of the twrp terminal, which is more convenient).

[Android Head-Units] miatawnt2b:
I have a 2012 Infiniti QX56 with Bose premium audio (15 speaker system). I purchased direct from a supplier in China a Tesla style unit that integrates the HVAC controls and 360* camera.

Well I've been trying to get this installed for a couple weeks, and it just isn't going well. I'm pretty sure that the harness they sent isn't correct as I have found several wires that are on the wrong pins, blows fuses, etc. The unit came with a separate canbus adapter for a nissan Patrol (same body style, Nissan Y62) I was able to get the HVAC controls working, so I feel like that should be the hardest part.

The issue I am having though is that I cannot get the Bose amp to turn on with this unit. From what I can tell, there is no 12v remote turn on wire for the 15 speaker premium system (there is for the standard 13 speaker system) but instead the AMP is turned on and controlled by some AV communication bus.

And this is where I'm stuck. I don't have a clue how to get the amp to turn on. The vendor out of China was barely helpful during this whole process. Between the time difference in the states and the translation difficulties I feel like they just flat out don't listen to what I tell them or ask of them. No documentation was supplied for anything. They were telling me to connect the amp turn on wire, which I did and sent pictures of every connector and wire connected just as they directed, but at this point they said "we don't know what's wrong" and now fail to communicate with me at all.

I almost think they never designed the system to work with the premium Bose, even though I gave them this information when I ordered the unit.

Anyhow, Does anyone at all have experience with these tesla style radios, and more importantly possibly experience with the Bose premium audio that uses the AV bus instead of a remote amp turn on wire?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SirShemp:
So my sister gave me her S7 after my Sony Xperia XA2 refused to read my new Verizon service. So I flashed the Verizon firmware since it was on AT&T's firmware (which disables the bands for Verizon) and it's awesome. Super snappy, super quick, good 4K video camera, the works.

The only problem is that the battery is draining faster than my iPhone 6, and this is just with responding to texts while I'm at work. Like today, I worked 5 hours and it went from 100% to 32%.

I read that there is a firmware I can flash with Odin that will greatly help the battery, but I'm not sure what it is. I really dont want to brick this phone.

My S7 is not rooted btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] PoochyX:
First off you it's a US S7 which means the bootloader is locked which means you can't flash Twrp (Custom Recovery) which means you can't flash a custom rom or obtain root threw recovery what you could do is see about rooting it first i believe the root for the US S7 is threw a modified boot image that is patched threw Odin you would have to researcher that first after you obtained root then you have 2 options debloat the phone yourself which I wouldn't suggest cause if you remove something vital to the phone it will soft brick and you have no custom recovery to revert to a working image of your phone and you going to have to flash a stock firmware in Odin to fix it second whkch I do recommend is see if there are any roms for your model of phone that are flash fire flashable that you can flash again the process with this is one error and you will have to start the process all over again.... If you going to debloat after you obtain root just remove Samsung apps and Verizon bloatware and you should see a speed and battery increase just off of that alone... If your bold you flash xposed threw flashfire and open up your options even more.... Flash the wrong xposed and you Wil soft brick and have to start over again.... Some Samsung phones can take the official xposed for your sdk or need the alternative xposed for Samsung to work properly don't know which one yours fall under.... Good luck [emoji1696]

My device is Samsung Galaxy J3 Sm-s327vl

This device is mapped to Tracfone but Services from Verizon.

Apparently 6.0.1 was all they cared to invest on the sm-s327vl.

Whereas Verizon's J3 version j327v upgraded 8.0 and likely will get Pie as well.

The ONLY difference between these devices is the Carrier mapping. They're both same phone using same Services <Verizon >

//MTCE_LM not LS, can't edit the title anymore.

Changed customer version from 1 to 3 and after reboot, i have no screen and no buttons working.

Only after car power is cut off (5-10min), the unit comes back but shuts down within 10-15 sec, not enough to quickly go to mcu config and change back to "1". Then nothing works, as if it doesn't get power anymore. I unplugged it and tried to hook up a miniHDMI cable but there's no connector on this board....not sure i can even get to recovery, but i'll try again tomorrow.

I have an older v3.06 LM MCU but no working config, so i hope to get into recovery somehow and flash both.

I suppose any LM MCU version would do, along with a CFG file, as long as it's version 1 (recognizable from _1 after mcu version or check in factory settings-other-customer version "1")
[MTCD Android Head Units General] zerozoneice:
does anyone have an idea where to change customer version in a dmcu.cfg using hex editor?

or is it possible to connect and edit the MCU values stored on the unit itself?
