[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
A couple of things come to mind reading this thread in reference to encryption

1) if security patches dont match on A/B, it seems to trigger a lockout with encryption. i may be wrong.

2) if internal storage isnt wiped, i.e.-if you use the "factory reset' option in twrp, your data is still there and that in itself post-flash can trigger encryption error as the data is still there.

I think about it like this, despite it being A/B partitions, the data is like a middle layer that isnt individualized to one partition or the other. so a trigger/failure for secure boot encrypts it all.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ebproject:
I'm pretty sure, that if you flash anything with a security patch earlier than the one you're currently using your data will get encrypted.

Which is why it happens with going back to OOS from custom, because they're always late with security patches compared to custom roms.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
The hardest thing for.me coming from an A only device (Axon 7) has been learning order of operations. as long as one flashes rom followed by twrp and then a reboot into recovery, followed by installing magisk, things usually go okay. Going from aosp to aosp went okay, but like you said moving from OOS to AOSP or vice versa always yielded encryption lock. maybe we could make a merged security patch or something of the sort to bridge the gap. im no dev, so im sure someone who knows more than i can tell us why that wouldnt work. it would be really cool for One Plus to gain a better foothold in custom OS before the majority of crack flashers and devs swear off. Dont get me wrong, OOS is amazing and i feel with the inherent features, is superior to any other stock rom, but android is all about choice.

i really and truly wish someone would make a version of TWRP that had a dual boot set up vs A/B. I have had devices (looking at you, Droid Bionic) that never had proper root/bl unlock and had amazing rom communities bc of safestrap/dual boot/etc. i am more than willing to give up internal storage space to duplicate/clone /data and anything else that is on both systems. i also wish recovery had its own partition again, but that one is beyond our control at this point as it resides in boot now.

Maybe its conceivable. Who knows.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jamescable:
I have no issues. I don't lose anything when I flash ROMs. I boot to twrp, factory reset(not wipe storage), flash ROM, flash twrp installer....boot ROM, reboot twrp, flash gapps, custom kernel. Then I factory reset again (not wipe storage) and then install magisk..done....no issues. It will fail boot once and then boot fine because of this process but only after you do this. So if you reboot later you are fine...I keep all my stuff
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] notorious.dds:
First off, I want to thank all of you who contributed to this thread. I'm defintely gaining a better understanding of some of the pitfalls associated with A/B devices and encryption. Thanks!

So, my understand is that flashing a new ROM from within TWRP flashes it to the inactive slot. Therefore, my assumptions as to the reasoning behind rebooting from TWRP back into TWRP before wiping data were that:

Any modifiations made to the boot partition intended to affect the new ROM need to be made to the boot partition that shares the same slot as that of the new ROM, and

Wiping data while booted into image of TWRP which shares the same slot as the new ROM has some magical effect on preserving the ability to decrypt data vs wiping data while booted into the image of TWRP that resides in the slot of the ROM to be replaced.

It is these assumptions (combined with my execution of the basic recipe failing to prevent encryption lock-out) which led me to manually changing slots. I will say this... after flashing PE and TWRP.zip from within TWRP on slot B, simply rebooting to recovery brought me right back to TWRP on slot B. If PE is now on slot A, how does installing magisk, etc. do me any good while in slot B? Also, are my assumptions misguided as to the "why" rebooting to TWRP before installing magisk, wiping data, etc is necessary?

Lightbulb status: on

Thanks!

Is this why in Mannan Qamar's earlier post he appears to be flashing the new ROM to BOTH slots before trying to boot into system?

I'm assuming that flashing OOS to BOTH slots as is mentioned earlier with regards to flashing a custom ROM won't help when going back to OOS given the old vs new issue. Has anyone verified that yet?

It's my understanding that the sure security patch is applied to the system partition, correct? Is part of that patch included in boot, or no?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] notorious.dds:
I notice that the FIRST thing you do is "factory reset". That's definitely not standard with the install threads I've read. Hmmmmm, interesting.

Also, why do you boot the ROM before flashing gapps, and kernel? It seems unnecessary since you're just factory resetting again. I'm

sure

I'm missing something on this one.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Booting to ROM solved the encryption issues
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rehannali:
If you stuck on encrypted storage ever, reboot to system and after you see the setup screen, reboot to recovery again. Voila, your storage is decrypted now.

It happened to me all the time when I flash OOS and this way I am able to decrypt my internal storage.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Deadeye*:
Any one able to compare the camera with the Samsung S10? Is it better or worse?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] baymon:
Having both phones, I can say it's worse.

The main issue really is the exposure and whatever HDR+ algorithm they're implementing in the stock camera app. Even though they said it's the same HRD algorithm that was applied by google for pixel phones, I still think it's over exposing everything especially the low tones and shadows - this produce a very unnatural looking picture. (If I wear a black shirt, my pic came out as if I'm wearing a gray shirt due to overexposure on the shadows).

On the other hand, I'm really loving the flip camera and the ability to use wide angle for selfie/group selfie and video. That is definitely the highlight of this hardware. But I will be lying if I say I'm not struggling to love the quality of the pictures produced by this phone.

The wide angle camera in our Asus does not focus as good as the main camera ..try it..also the slow motion videos are not that sharp and crisp.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Jaripi:
Agreed, that there is sometimes overexposure, but I like more Asus camera's bright photos instead of GCAM darker photos. GCAM is better in very dark, but I prefer Asus camera often, specially for low light photos. Well, I have exposure compensation + 0,4 in GCAM, but still ...
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] @Peterrrrr:
I can easy say that this is the best cellphone camera on the market now, I installed Gcam and activaed raw.

I have never seen a phonecamera produce such a good raw files, even in low light.

Skintones, natural colors is great on this camera, Samsung, Sony, Huawei. and lot of other manufactors are terrible when it comes to natural skintones, overuse of noisce reduction....

Also the 4K 60fps is very natural and doesn't have the unatural look that almost every other brand have.

I hate to be that guy, but the safest and EASIEST way to download Windows 10 at least, is via the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool or ISO links found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

There's a similar page for Office, but you must have a product key for it to give you the installer.

[MENTION=4546353]ShadowEO[/MENTION], I disagree. This tool is a packaged browser thas uses Microsoft's official website, but it is very faster and useful than Media Creation Tool, and you don't need a serial for Windows 7/8.1 or Office.

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] ahmett_cann:
hello everyone,

I upgraded my phone to emui 9.1 and android 9 yesterday. Then I had a problem with notifications. I am using apps with App Lock (both emiu 8 and emui 9). At emiu 8 and android 8, when phone locked, notifications apper (no content, only notifications). when I unlocked the phone, I can see message content. However, after uprading to emui 9.1 and android 9, I cannot see any message content after unlocking the phone.

There is a way to see content without entering application. These are steps:

1) The application should be opened (such as Whatsapp or Messenger) and phone should not be locked.

2) Then exit from app, either completely close it or return to the home screen.

3) Now, if any messages come, I can see content, and I can reply it.

I asked this problem to Huawei customer service, and they said this feature may come with android 9 or emui 9.1.

So, I dont want to use like that. I want to use it like emiu 8. What should I do?

Thank you for your helps, and sorry for my bad English.

Guys, I called you in one message as it seems we all had experienced the same drastic issue with the phone got bricked on the update process. We all probably used LGUP and on the update somewhere on the %'age progress (in mine it was 91%) the process stopped so we needed to force reboot and after that we got only fastboot menu.

Once trying to enter download mode, upon connecting to USB, the download mode title frame blinks for a split/second and it goes all way into fastboot only, correct?

Having said that - I believe it is vital not only to update how you resolved (or still resolving) the issue but how it happened we stepped in that deep sh!t overall...

On my particular case - I had bought the phone with branded oreo software, what I wanted was to (a) force-upgrade to Pie (as the brand operator is still very late with the Pie update) and (b) unbrand to open or brand Orange as I wanted the VoLTE and VoWiFi working. I used the LGUP 1.14 and tried uppercut but it did not work in my case (probably because of antivirus software something was permanently blocking) so I found the common_dll file which resolved the issue and the progress started. However, as mentioned - at 91% it stopped and phone died. I moved it to LGE service, they replaced the mainboard as it is under warranty. I suspect I used some sort of invalid DLL file, probably that caused the process crashed.

As a postmortem - I regret that in panic I force-rebooted the phone, it was certain the system won't start and now I realize it was also a high risk it will be bricked but you know... just tried to resolve instantly. I wonder what would happen if I would not reboot but leave the phone in download mode (still hold on 91% but still alive) and in that state would connect the phone back into LG Bridge software or LGEtool - possibly it would be recognized by the firmware auto-flasher inspected or fixed and it would reboot itself properly into download to resurrect...who knows.

I am looking forward your status guys - where are you with the fix and actually how did you go into that trouble - so what flash method you used ? You know, to avoid that scenario in future... :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] tripticonachos:
I investigated the problem of why it stopped at 98% and it is because of the issue of the ddl file, before any flash by lg up it is better to prevent and replace the common ddl file, which I did not do. just in case, I still have the phone in fastboot mode, I have not been able to find a solution yet.
