[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ahmadcpa:
Hi

I owned an S8 on Verizon for a year or so and switched to Sprint's Bring Your Own Device Plan. One a Sprint SIM was inserted, the phone was rebranded and all Verizon apps were wiped off and replaced with Sprint. Fast forward a few months after, early June, I get a firmware update notification which I prompted to accept (as I have many times before for Verizon and Sprint updates). After the update, the phone worked for a few days and then all of the sudden gets stuck on the word Samsung S8 logo and restarts on its own. It keeps looping!

Resetting didn't work and I sent it to a store nearby (You Break, We Fix) and nothing could get this thing to go back to normal. I think the fact that the phone was on Verizon and was rebranded to Sprint is what caused the problem.

I downloaded Odin but can't figure out which version of the firmware I should use to flash the phone and get it to work. The original box that came with it says SM-G950UZKV and the SW-VER is G950USQU1AQC8. I don't care about the phone's photos/other data, I just want it to work again.

What firmware should I download to get the phone to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
How are we supposed to get notifications on this phone? I've noticed that virtually nothing wakes up the lock screen. Many apps (messenger for example)don't even activate the edge lighting. Is there anything outside of a 3rd party app that can wake the screen to notify? What was Samsung's plan with this?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] carlitobahsoun:
i use an app called SCREEN ON NOTIFICATION ,u can find it in play store , and never used AOD ,with this app i use edge lighting while screen on only

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
I guess my goal was to find out how Samsung intended for this phone to notify us of messages from 3rd party applications that don't trigger the AOD display or edge lighting (like FB messenger) without having to add a notification application.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
It's an effin joke init. That if you have AOD off then one never sees notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
I have notifications, don't know what your talking about? I even have it setup for popup notifications. Working better than the mate 20pro ever did.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
Ok, but I'm assuming that you are using a 3rd party notification app, correct? Please re-read my previous comment.....here....

That is what I was trying to figure out...

Yes, you can add a 3rd party solution for a lot of issues.... but what solution did Samsung provide stock with this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
No I'm using stock OneUI. No 3rd Party App.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
And you get Facebook Messenger notifications(screen wakes up and/or edge lighting is triggered)? Gmail notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Edge lightning, I have screen wake off, all notifications , some of which are....

Google weather

Samsung weather

Facebook

Facebook Messenger

Gmail

Samsung Messages

Google pay

Google maps

Google news

Google photos
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
Where do you control your screen wake since you say you have it off?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
With adb
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcvito:
Ok, so again....you have to make system modifications using some kind of outside software.... You are still missing the point of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
No it's about notifications. I have full notifications without 3rd party necessary intervention. And when a notification comes in I have edge lightning with the bubbles or messages flashed for 5 seconds. But the whole screen does not light up. So you obviously don't have your configuration right.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] bezay:
Actually i hard bricked my moto g6 XT1925-6 while OTA update. There was an update in my device. I was so excited that i didnt notice my battery percentage and i updated it and now it is dead. It is detectes as qualcomm usb-hs qloader 9008 and i am searchong for help to recover it. I searched for blank flash file but there is no such file available for moto g6 except in lolinet website. There is one blank flash file for ali model and i tried but its not working. I have been searching for solutions over a half month. While searching I went to moto G5 thread and there was a solution that they were booting there device using mmcblk0.img using 64gb sd card. So i think to give a shot on moto g6 also. So i am here to ask for any developer or user of moto g6 to provide me mmcblk0.img file so that i can revive my device and use it again. There are many tutorials on how to create it. So please please help me. Thanks in advance.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] benny3:
mmcblk0 is the whole block and by the way this post should be in the Q&A section this is for Develoment
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] bezay:
Guys c'mon. Instead of moving post here and there start helping us. Those who have moto g6 provide us mmcblk0.img. I will try to boot and resolve problem. I think there is no any chance that motorola will be providing us blankflash file.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] GedBlake:
Hi, bezay...

I haven't done any tinkering around with partitions, eg., performing dumps and flashing stuff for quite a while, and given that my own Moto G6 isn't rooted, which if I recall, is a prerequisite for running dd=(if, of) shell commands to perform such a dump... so I'm afraid I can't help you, unfortunately:(.

-------------------------------------

'mmcblk0 is everything!'

However, as has been commented above, mmcblk0 is the

whole

of your devices internal storage... in much the same way that mmcblk1 would be your SD card, if you have one installed.

As I understand it, specific device partitions (eg, system, vendor, data, etc) have names like mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p3, etc. Note the 'p1', 'p2' and 'p3' etc., appended to the end of mmcblk0.

So what you're asking for here, with mmcblk0, is for somebody to upload their

entire internal device storage

which I'm fairly certain wouldn't help you, even if it could be done.

And I don't just mean the 'user' data partition either... where you keep your photos, music files, videos files, documents, PlayStore installed apps, etc... I mean

EVERYTHING

~ ALL partitions ~ Android System (Oreo or Pie), vendor partition, cache partition, 'radios' partition, and likely other, more obscure partitions. In fact, everything encompassed by the mmcblk0 block, which constitutes the whole of your 32Mb specced device.

So you need to be more specific about which partition dumps you need, 'cos you're asking for everything!

For example, on my old (now defunct) HTC One M8, there was something like 40+ partitions, (eg, mmcblk0p29, mmcblk0p30, mmcblk0p31, p32, p33, p34 etc... mmcblk0p43).

I suspect the Moto G6 will have a similar structure. Anyway, see the screenshot below for the partition layout for the M8 ~ it conveys some sense of how the mmcblk0 block is divided. And I strongly suspect the Moto G6 will likewise have a similar partition structure.

-------------------------------------

I hope you get your Moto G6 fixed, but I doubt your current approach will prove successful.

Good luck anyway. I hope you find a solution:).

Rgrds,

Ged.

(Example below of a 'mmcblk0' partition layout, from the HTC One M8)
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] bezay:
Yes, mmblk0.img is the whole internal storage of the device. That is why I am asking so that I can use my 64gb sd card as a virtual internal storage of my device to boot it up. And another thing I am not asking whole of your personal data. Just backup all your data, clean wipe your device and make backup and provide us so that we can revive it. Although I am not sure that it will boot or not but I read in moto g5 thread that some of them were able to boot and repair their dead device using mmcblk0 provided by developers or users. So I thought to give it a shot that is why I am asking here. If no one can help us then it's ok I will wait for updated blank flash file leaks from Motorola. Anyway thanks for your concern and providing us relevant information.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] supaea:
Hello, I have a few questions about flashing rom just to make sure I wouldn't end up in EDL mode again. First, let me tell something. I have bought my K20 pro on Aliexpress which come with a firmware that mark as MI 9T pro with bootloader unlocked but without TWRP install. I have tried to flash Android Q beta though fastboot without using the option Flash & Lock but i was end up in locked bootloader and then i got it fixed through EDL mode by paying someone from Russia who i don't know the name. Later on, I got another bad luck again by upgrading my official Chinese firmware through OTA and then the phone suddenly shutdown in the middle of the process which break both my recovery and fastboot so i have to go through EDL again. So, my questions are:

1. If i flash anything such as magisk, viper, or upgrade my xiaomi.eu firmware through TWRP, will something like my second story occur again? Or, does flashing through TWRP will brick both recovery and fastboot in the same or similar case?

2. After EDL mode, bootloader was unlocked by default so, what can I do to bind my MI account with the device? Because in case it locked again, then I can use xiaomi bootloader unlock tools to unlock it. In the first story, the device come with bootloader unlocked, and after flashed Android Q beta, the bootloader was triggered and locked so then I tried to unlocked it but Xiaomi bootloader unlock tools told me that my account is not bind to this device.

3. If i flash magisk, then do i need to always re-flash it on every system upgrade(xiaomi eu firmware)?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
1. In theory flashing with TWRP shouldn't touch the fastboot or recovery partitions, unless you choose to. If you know what you're doing, then flashing with TWRP is reasonably safe.

2. You could try flashing an official Chinese fastboot ROM and locking the bootloader, then link it to your account. Don't try and install anything else, live with the official Chinese ROM and go through the normal unlock process. Once you've waited and got unlock permission for the phone against your Mi account, then unlock and install the ROM of your choice along with anything else.

But this does come with a small risk that the phone is still linked to the sellers account.

3. I went straight from stock to a GSI, so not sure about eu ROMs. If they have an OTA process that downloads then installs via TWRP (similar to official LOS), then it's possible Magisk will re-install at the same time. Someone who uses eu ROMs will need to confirm what happens.

For anything else, you'll needed to re-install Magisk.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] supaea:
I believe it is a risky method because if the bootloader is locked the phone might brick again and I have to do EDL again too. I wish if there is a safer method, because I experienced EDL mode twice already and it is terrible and need to pay lot of money just to fix it. :crying:
