[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] smeroni68:
Thanks mod for the highlight, it's true that in OP is not clearly written, but is also quite clear (at least for me and probably most of the voluntary donators) the meaning of this thread.

I suggest to OP to add the information to avoid any misunderstanding in the future... and no more Mod posts! :)

Best Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyBeaver2377:
Done. Cleaned up first post and complied to the points stated in PM.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alibotan:
you do not want to buy a mi 9 with the donations? did I understand correctly?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xenix96:
Mate i hope you mean MI 9 not Mix 3 or ? can you please correct it ? Thanks ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzmy13:
Sorry, that was a typo. Fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] smeroni68:
If the donation arrive to the target, the meaning is to buy the device to develope on it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzmy13:
Fixed.

I just came across this post .. I did not even know there was a kitty going on.

But, if I understand correctly, since June 2019 the development has not started?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

Just donated. Good to see some experienced devs willing to help the community. Thanks to all for getting this started.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dvckbiz:
I think only 20 left for for now :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzmy13:
Please stop donating, the goal has been reached! And went over by 15€ because I didn't update the thread while I was sleeping. The thread will be closed.

I'm certain I can find a Mi9 within the provided budget.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
I was about to donate but that's great news! Good luck sir!

I seemed to have managed to root my device but now I get no further. Hardware is locked. Can anyone advise of links to progressing? Running or 5.6.4.0 and Windows 10. Tried driver updates and failed. Screen shot is message I get from more than one source of instruction.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Galaxyninja66:
This is the wrong forum for that device. The newest fire device (as far as I know) that can be rooted and rommed is the 7" fire 5th gen, which is still only limitted to Android 5.1.1 based roms since the bootloader still technically isn't unlocked. Sorry.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevOfEMS:
So I bought a 43 inch Toshiba Fire TV on sale at Best Buy a few months ago. Needless to say, it doesn't have much storage on it. Less than 8gb which can fill up rather quickly. So being that it has a USB port, I thought what the heck let me try getting a USB 3.0 stick and format it for extra disk space to save apps to.

So I purchased a SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 64gb stick. Formatted it to Fat32, I plugged it in and got the pop up asking if I'd like to "Format as Internal Storage" which I did and it worked beautifully for about a 3 days. I was saving newly downloaded apps to it and they were functioning properly. Then today I go to use one of the apps and it disappeared. I open ES File Explorer to take a look at the stick and it's contents are empty. I check "Manage Installed Apps" all the apps that installed on the stick are gone! I do notice that when plugged in, soon as I power on the TV ES File Explorer is open automatically as if it's reading the USB but then it doesn't appear.

I tried switching Developer options on and off, no dice. I've had no new OS updates, I didn't change anything on the stick aside from downloading new apps (which is why I wanted the USB in the first place). It was working fine, why did this happen?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Matiasmora:
Hello how i can uninstall TWRP on Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite..

I want to lock bootloader

Thx
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] LazyT:
Flash boot.img from stock rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
Flash stock boot.img.

If you were rooted, I advise you to also flash system.img and vendor.img from stock, because if any app has changed something in system or vendor, you may brick your device by locking the bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Matiasmora:
Maybe..

Can i Will installl boot.img system.img and Vendor if i installl the stock rom?

Im sorry if you can't understand me my english Is not good.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] maamdroid:
I have found that my bluetooth range and connectivity is quite poor.

If I have the phone in my pocket and am walking, there are times that audio will cut out and crack. When I have the phone in the car or on my desk, the bluetooth performs normally.

Anyone else experiencing any bluetooth issues like this?
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] lnostdal:
In some areas WiFi interference is pretty bad; perhaps this phone is especially susceptible to this? I've noticed that it works both ways; i.e. the phone (when using Bluetooth) will cause some WiFi connectivity for other devices (laptops etc.) to slow down drastically.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] quentin0:
Hello,

Does anyone know what I can do to lock my OnePlus 7 pro to T-Mobile? I live quite close to Canada and the phone always tries to connect to Rodgers or Bell. I tried going into mobile networks and unchecking the box to automatically choose a network operator and selecting TMobile, but it still tries to roam and I get no service.

After some research, I see there's an app that may help me: Network Signal Guru. It requires root, and I don't really want to go this route unless I have no other option.

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bp328i:
Can't you go into the phone settings and turn off roaming?.

Open the phone app, three dots at the top, settings, all the way at the bottom, Sim and Network, Sim 1, turn off roaming in there.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] quentin0:
If I do that then I'm in the same situation with no bars, no data. I need to force it to connect to TMobile
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GUGUITOMTG4:
Go to sim and network, tap on the sim you are using. Scroll all the way down, tap on Network operator, disable the option to choose automatically, it will scan for available networks, choose T-Mobile. Leave the option disabled. it should be it.
[LG Stylo 3 Questions & Answers] dhdurgee:
I have a Tracfone LG Stylo 3, model L84VL, and have found a bug in their Email app. This app is loaded from their LGInstallService and thus their responsibility. I need to know how to contact them about the bug. It does not crash, it simply does not work as it should.

The bug prevents me from receiving S/MIME encrypted and signed email on the phone, as it will not display them as it is screwing up the signature validation.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpoxyD:
Hi all,

The p8 lite I have is currently stuck on the Huawei boot screen, and it is unable to turn off as long as the battery has enough charge. Long pressing the power button just reboots the device back to the Huawei screen.

I was able to boot to the erecovery screen, or the HiSuite screen using both Vol+ & power or Vol- & power before. But since last night, I cannot do this anymore. No matter which combination I use, the phone simply reboots to the Huawei screen.

It all started with an OS corruption a couple of weeks ago when trying to update the device.

Connecting it to a pc also does not make it listed with either fastboot or adb, so I'm kind of worried that my device is bricked beyond repair.

Do any of you have ideas or advice regarding this situation?

Cheers,

Evert
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] trubar:
Hi,

auto rotation and auto brightness does not work anymore. It happened on 27th of may (I know that, because on that date I took the last successful landscape picture - I checked).

Once there were checkbox "auto" besides scrollbar for manual setting of brightness. Now it is gone. So I can not turn on auto brightness.

If I select auto rotation, the rotation does not change automatically in any of apps.

I already tried soft reset and hard reset, tapping on back of phone, clearing cashes... Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Should I just send it to the service?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Octanee:
Hey guys, As title says, So the story on this thing lol Bought it new I believe 1.5-2 years ago, battery got bad, so this spring in february I replaced the battery my self, I had ordered 2, Both certainly a genuine battery, I had a S7 so I wanted a spare for mine when IT came time. After battery replacement phone was great again, good as new! then as of 3 days ago random shut offs. battery reads 80% shut off, Then I noticed If I left it off for a few hours or all night and turn it on in the am 0%! Tried charging and It's not taking a charge really, It went to 9% and stayed there for ever and was getting hot so I didn't want to risk it. ok so bad battery, this morning I swapped in my OTHER spare new battery, and Let it run up to 100% before turning on for first time, All seemed good! then all the sudden after 6 hours (before it was like every 10 minutes it'd shut off.) It started doing it again, Same thing battery is dead it figures, But it can't be.

Thinking perhaps the board it's self or something just ain't right? :\ Any thing to check or tips/tricks? I tried googling and came up empty handed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
It's likely the batteries you have are not genuine. Fake copies don't have a control chip which interfaces with the device. Your phone is shutting down to protect itself from overheating and other problems caused by copies.

There are some great copies out there but trust me they're still copies.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Octanee:
Yeah that's for sure on the copies, I had looked at how to compare what I had VS the fake ones and they seemed to be genuine? The batteries came from 2 seperate sources as well so hard to say, if the first one I put in was a copy then it did last a while but surprised then that my 2nd one never made it more than a few hours and the same issue. But you just never know. Everybody claims your buying a genuine battery but I'd assume the listing prices are tell tale of a fake/copy lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Octanee:
Monitoring the battery and either the voltage sensor is bad or the battery, it'll chwrge and say it's full but yet voltage goes to 3.4v, then if I plug it in again it'll go up to 4.2v, once I unplug it, it drops of course, I was using a battery burn program and Itll drop from r. 2 to 3.4 right away, I got it to run for 15 mins one time then it dropped off, otherwise another time from 4.2v it dropped to 3.0 then shut off after starting th test in like 20 seconds, reports battery immediately as 17% after re booting.

This battery sat for a while so will try a 3rd fresh battery and hopefully genuine, though I suspect my past 2 were genuine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Octanee:
Wanted to update this for anybody who may find this thread off google. I got the same replacement battery again Which was the fix, Asked the seller and they said they'd shoot me a new battery, Again whether genuine or not... Well they claim genuine. I let the phone charge to full and Performed the battery draw test by running the 2 apps to bog the phone down and make everything run to 100%. ran like that 0 issues for about 2 hours, Voltage was very stable the whole way through, before It would maybe hold for a few mins then shoot right down from 4.0 to ~3.2V. Even now after a hour It was still well above 3.7V. My old s7 battery was exactly that, sat unused on my shelf for ~2 years because it was mis-placed and even installed it was no good either.

I appreciate all help

thanks
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
You can script them if you know how to make one. Otherwise enter them one at a time. You only need to flash this once so if you do them once each it doesn't take a long time.

you may have to repeat this last lock command until it works. I had to do it 4-5 times.

I really appreciate the help. Thanks. Do I need to put boot image or 29.114-16-7-2 extract file in tools folder and do this?
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
fastboot needs to be in the folder with the 29.114-16-7-2 files.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] millede74:
Thanks
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] skuppej:
Note that you need to run the fastboot oem lock command a few times in the beginning (before you flash) and after you flash a few more times for this to completely work!
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] millede74:
Did like said and pretty much everything after fb_mode_set said command failed

Didn't do nothing to phone I can tell. I stopped after trying bootloader

What's wrong
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
Do them one at a time and post the results of each command here so we can see.

Sorry won't be able to try again till tomorrow. One question. If I run lmsa what will it do if I use rescue after downloading system image?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] conzar:
Greetings,

I have a Tab S4 (SM-T830) with Android 9 (kernel 4.4.153-15659493. I also have Linux On Dex installed. I have noticed that when I actually try to do work in LOD (Ubuntu) just running a few terminals + Visual Studio Code, that the container 'runs' out of memory. 4GB clearly isn't enough memory to support both the Android OS + Ubuntu running at the same time. My only option (unless someone else knows of a way) is to enable SWAP on my SD Card (I have a class 10 128GB Samsung). I figure if I at least give it another 4GB or maybe 8GB of SWAP that my Ubuntu Container won't be killed due to lack of RAM.

Anyone know what my options are for enabling SWAP?

Thank you

SOLVED!

Hell guys, I recently unlock the bootloader of my red magic 3 global version (NA) but now i want to lock it back, is there any way to do this?

! it just fixed it, ised adb and connect the phone to the usb and open the adb terminal and write: adb reboot bootloader, then use the next command: fastboot flashing lock

nothing more, you're done!
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] TheCoryGuy:
I'm curious to see if anyone else can confirm this with Global version before I unlock bootloader. :D Thanks in advance.

open recovery mode like before you unlocked and write this to adb

fastboot oem lock

fastboot flashing lock

fastboot oem relock

Once bootloader is locked. Reboot your device with the following command:

fastboot reboot

Its works for me

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] liquor:
When will the update madness with our phone ends??? ;)

Downloading right now...has anyone installed it yet?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
When will it end? Probably August 2020 as Essential has promised 2 years of OS updates and 3 of security updates like the Pixel. Android Q would be the last OS update, followed by a year of security updates. And August because the phone launched late August. It might get support through September. All assuming nothing happens to Essential before then.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] goofball2k:
Installed the zip from Essential, haven't had much time to see if any differences that are noticeable.

OTA Zip

Fastboot zip
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] knochnkopf:
Anybody else getting "Couldn't Update" message after reverting back to May update from Q Beta?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jxcorex28:
Do you apply those OTA.zips like you would for any ROM? Or do you wipe dalvik, system, and data then flash the OTA.zip. I wanted to ask before I winded up in some crazy ****. I went ahead and backed up my phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] goofball2k:
I have TWRP installed. This is my way of doing the update.

Ensure the OTA zip and TWRP zip (optional, you can choose to install TWRP your own way) and Magisk zip (optional, only if you want to be rooted) are on the phone storage

Reboot to TWRP recovery

Select Install, then install the OTA zip file and then the TWRP recovery zip.

Reboot to system, or if you wish to have Magisk installed, flash the Magisk zip file.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cjscholten:
Yeah, have the exact same problem.

After disliking Android Q Beta (had issues with calls) I flashed Android 9 May update (fastboot). Now the June update won't install
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DAE1964:
I had no issues installing the June OTA through TWRP after going back to stock May ROM from the Q Beta.

I would recommend you to back up again and start with the stock fastboot June ROM.

Good luck.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] knochnkopf:
Have you contacted Essential about the issue? I sent them a message yesterday with my device info and the process I used to flash back to the May 2019 update. Haven't heard from them yet. Seems like an odd problem. Only thing I can think of is maybe it has something to do with a scripting error in the batch file used to flash back to stock. I also went into my bootloader to verify that was locked so it should for all intents and purposes behave as a stock device. I have no root or custom recovery installed.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Anybody know if flashing the OTA file from the Essential website vs the FastBoot file will completely wipe my device or just install over the top like a normal OTA? Only reason I ask is the OTA download is 330MB but the OTA file from the website is over 1GB. I really don't want to wipe my device AGAIN after just doing it less than a month ago.

Update: Flashed OTA zip from stock recovery without loss of data. They should really make that clearer on their website because it says flashing OTA "may" result in loss of data.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DAE1964:
I flashed the OTA via TWRP and retained all app's and the data without any problems.
