After successfully restoring backup on the new phone the fingerprint doesn't work.:(

Details about restore process are here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3a/development/twrp-3-3-1-pixel-3a-t3943413/page10

Before TWRP backup I did set two fingerprints. After restoring on new phone if I try unlock screen with fingerprint I'm getting message "Fingerprint hardware not available"

I can unlock screen using PIN but I can't add new fingerprint nor delete two existing.

When I delete one fingerprint, it greyed out (screenshot attached) but when I return back to Fingerprints it's still there.

Adding new fingerprint starts fingerprint setup but right before end I'm getting message (screenshot attached):

Enrolment was not completed.

Fingerprint enrolment didn't work. Try again or use different finger

Fear not, this is not hardware issue. I went back to stock image and I can setup and use fingerprint and delete fingerprints.

So, I went back to square one and flashed stock image, boot, reboot, TWRP, flashed StatiXOS, boot. At this point checked, fingerprint is still working in StatiXOS.

Rebooted to TWRP, wipe and restore my StatiXOS backup and still having the same issue with fingerprint.

Reading some threads my guess is that fingerprint should be disabled before backup. The fingerprint info is probably saved on fingerprint chip and factory reset should fix the issue.

Turther search lead to other threads about same issue and it seems deleting some files/folders in data partition reset fingerprint settings.

Unfortunately none of them doesn't match 3a. Have no time now but will investigate further other solutions. Pixel 3 threads might have the answer.

I had exactly the same prob on AOSiP on my Pixel 3 XL. Was not able to find it out or to solve it. Back to Stock and it worked fine w/o any probs. Since some days I am on DU and also no probs so far.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Pogo:
Same here, gave up and flash stock again. I was trying some stuff and noticed if I create another account and switch I can enable fingerprint but only for that account. So, something is screwed up in default account settings.

The best advice I can offer is from this Pixel XL thread: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/slota-b-how-to-flash-roms-magisk-kernel-t3754175

Unfortunately I don't have another Pixel 3a around to test, but it make sense.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] SketchyStunts:
So you already tried data/system/ & change locksettings.db to locksettings.db.bak ? It should create a new locksettings.db after you go into phone settings to set up a new pin/fingerprints then go & delete locksettings.db.bak or you can leave it...either way.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Pogo:
I have some spare time today and will try. Need to test my backup first to make sure I can go back. :)

Even if it work on my phone it might not work on different phone. If I'm in charge of security on Pixel 3a project I will at least compare hardware fingerprints (i.e. serial numbers, MAC address, etc) of the phone with previous data save in encrypted file in some very protected area

However, it could be useful to all dummies like me who screwed their phones. :D

Hi guys , i was running AOSIP PIE rooted and bootloader unlocked. I did an update of Magisk. And then i couldn't flash twrp it was not working , i could still boot phone normally and phone run smooth. Someone told me to flash TWRP with flashify and i did. Here the problems started , i started having error , can't boot anywhere etc...

I followed this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/hua...g-to-t3932203/ for last solution .

But unfortunatly i can't flash VENDOR.img in fastboot , i can flash all except VENDOR.img it says

C:\ADB>fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending sparse 'vendor' 1/2 (460796 KB)...

OKAY [ 10.697s]

writing 'vendor' 1/2...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 10.711s

I have flashed with success TWRP twrp-3.3.1-0-charlotte , i can get to it but there is no files inside the phone and it's not supporting SD cards to i don't have any ROM to flash ...

Do you guys have any idea about what to do ?

Thank you very much

I had that.

Phone was completely dead, needed a new board.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] benkiller47:
Are you sure of it ? did you buy it ?

You succefuly booted to twrp and tried to flash ROM ?

Because i used ADB command PUSH and managed to get ROM into /data/ folder in my phone , so i'm trying to flash them but it's not working at the end i reboot to fastboot

DId that happen to you too ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] chrissyyyw:
I booted into fastboot, flashed the individual firmware files and it kept failing on the vendor.

I had a black screen with a red flashing LED on reboot. I claimed on my insurance and they replaced the board on the phone.

I checked on here and online for a resolution and it generally points to a hard brick.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
You must use OTG! Probably Flashify borked a partition,but i don't think it borked vendor.

However, you should still be able to flash a FullOTA with TWRP + NoCheck combo.

OTA can take 2 weeks to be pushed to all devices

unlock oem bootloader in DEV options

fastboot

unlock device

flash image

reboot

if you want to keep all settings remove the -w in flash all
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Or just flash the OTA file using the stock recovery and it won't wipe either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] pacman photog:
I found doing that sometimes creates issues with system.

Best to flash new image with -w
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Hmm, interesting. That's the way I do it all the time. No problems. It's basically the same thing as receiving it OTA. I even installed Q4 that way, but in that case I had to wipe coming from Pie.

Hello,

with EMUI 9, I had an Automate Flow that automatically enabled the WiFi Hotspot when connected to a certain bluetooth device (car).

With 9.1, this does not work anymore, Automate throws a "NoSuchMethodException".

Is anyone else experience the same issue, or has an alternate way of enabling the Hotspot when connected to a car?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] domyadig:
Hi guys,

So this phone seems amazing for the price and specs, but obviously, it doesn't run android.

Now my question is, I currently have a S7 Edge running the custom ROM (superman rom) and I've done a few custom ROMs so think I'd be confident if there was a guide to also do this to the K20 pro to make it the perfect phone.

My question is:

1. Do they make a guide to flash stock android or some form of android on this phone?

2. does the phone work in the UK on Vodaphone network?

3. is there another phone I should be looking at? the Oneplus 6t doesn't seem much of an upgrade for the money from the S7 Edge I've had for the last 3 years :\

thanks!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
It is Android, just not as you know it.

At the moment the phone hasn't been released globally, so there's very little custom ROM development yet. It'll be released in India next week, but globally in a could of months, maybe. So it'll be a while yet before there's some progress with other ROMs. GSI ROMs work OK for the most part, and Phhuson's AOSP GSI will, obviously give you the purest Android. Though there are still a few issues with them, which for some, myself included, can be lived with, whilst others they will be deal breakers. There are guides for flashing ROMs on this phone. Have a look in the K20 Pro threads here.

The phone will work OK, for the most part in the UK. It lacks band 20. So EE will give the best coverage and O2 the worst. It 'should' be OK on Vodafone and Three with maybe the occasional patch that still relies on band 20 for compete coverage. EE would give you compete coverage and O2 probably wouldn't work outside of major towns and cities.

There's the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, though the Pro does have a large jump in price. Close to stock Android out of the box and OnePlus devices have the biggest custom ROM scene.

There's the Mi 9, which has a global version and some movement starting to happen on the custom ROMs.

Or there's the Asus ZenFone 6, which comes with a fairly stock android out of the box. Asus have tentatively reached out to the developer community and provided a small number of xda devs with a free phone, so there should be more development than you'd normally see on an Asus phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] domyadig:
thanks for your reply,

the porblem is i have a s7 edge and can't really see why to spend £400+ plus on a phone that doesn't even do 1440p

it needs to have 1440p! lol
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Because it will now cost you almost double that amount to get a new phone with 1440 display.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] domyadig:
Is there any reason for this? I guess i should wait on a little while then.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Yes. Any flagship phone with a QHD display will be marketed as a premium flagship and come with a premium price, look at the prices of the S10, the OP 7 Pro and the new Xperia phones. If you want a cheaper phone with QHD, then it will be a mid range SoC.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
already have S8 Plus, running it as FHD+ to save the battery and can't feel or see the difference

I guess FHD+ is enough and battery friendly
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
If I were you right now with a 3 year old phone like you have there would be only one choice and that's the OnePlus 7 pro.definetly worth the few hundred extra for what your getting. Oxygen OS is hands down best software with Best QHD display you can get,if you dont mind full HD go with the normal 7 at a good price.

The redmi k20 pro will work fine but annoying Chinese software,maybe wait till September/October for a Mi 9T pro or November for a OnePlus 7T with possible standard version with a design similar to the k20.

Look at Xiaomi.eu rom for k20 pro if your going with that. It takes away all the bloat of the Chinese version with weekly updates based on Chinese official

[MTCD Android Head Units General] karadayi:
Hallo there,

Since I am quite new to Android, Tasker and everything that comes with it, I am constantly trying out new things, but there just some things I can't quite figure out.

My goal is to set any specific hardware button on my PX5 BMW E39 headunit (vor example the buttons 1 to 6) to launch a specific Tasker task.

I planned on using MTCD tools to send an order to Tasker to start task ABCXYZ.

I am planning to do so because I can't bring Tasker to use the "input keyevent xxx" action, MTCD works just fine for me.

How are Tasker task handled within android? Are they handled like an intent, an activity or a service?

If yes, how do I figure out which?

Put simple: I want to say to MTCD "when I press key 283, launch this task"

I especially want MTCD to do that, not tasker by using shell command "input keyevent xxx"

Thanks in advance.

I don't even know why I wanted to root my phone. I'm like 3/4 of the way through rooting it and after I flash the boot_stock.img and the twrp installer .zip, I get this message saying

"Unmodified System Patition

Keep System Read only?

..."

and I don't know what to do. I'm following the video tutorial titled "OnePlus 7 Pro - How to Unlock the Bootloader, Install TWRP, and Root with Magisk" by the XDA devs and I get right up before I need to install Magisk or whatever. I don't care anymore.

Have I bricked my phone? Is there any way for me to go back?

Thanks for the advice.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] djsubterrain:
That's just TWRP telling you the system partition isn't rooted, you can say no to allow read/write, then flash the TWRP zip. It sounds like you didn't do the original setup correctly, in the TWRP it tells you to use :

fastboot boot TWRP.img (replace for the current version)

Then the phone would boot into TWRP but TWRP isn't actually installed, that's why you should then flash the TWRP.zip and then immediately flash the latest Magisk to allow root and allow TWRP to remain in place.

Or, as you say, you could just lock the bootloader back but that will wipe data just as unlocking it did. That's a security measure to stop a malicious attempt to access files.

You could also, most likely, just download the zip for your rom version, put it in the root folder and perform a local "upgrade" which should just put your phone back to default, although, if you unlocked the bootloader it will still be unlocked, you need to run the following command to lock it again :

fastboot oem lock
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
You cared enough at one point to start the process. Whether to root or not is a personal decision, based on what types of added modifications of features you want out of root, and how important those are to you. Maybe you have changed your mind to that point. And I am biased to my own opinions. But that opinion would be to go ahead and finish the job, since you got this far. Nothing wrong is going on really, you just got stuck, not knowing what to do next. It does happen from time to time, when modding these devices. And nothing to get discouraged about. You did the right thing coming onto the forum and asking before doing something you were unsure about.

This is pretty hard to brick. Unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, and root likely will not result in a real brick. Even if you brick the phone, there is an unbrick tool that will mostly likely get it up and running again.

It's not necessary any longer to flash the patched boot.img in order to root. Follow the "Recommended" install method from the TWRP thread, which is simple and straightforward. It's pretty much what the previous response outlined above.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322

The method you are following (flashing a patched boot.img) does work. But it has more steps. And you have to be careful to flash the correct boot.img for your OOS version. Otherwise, you may have some issues. So going with the easier method is better, in my opinion.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] JoeQuality:
Is that true for all phones?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] klym.software:
If you have the Global OP7Pro and not the T-mobile variant you don't have to be afraid of bricking the phone. The MSM unbrick tool can bring your device back to stock if its bricked or even if its not. I am not sure if the MSM tool works on the T-mobile variants, but it might.

I've hard bricked this device and successfully used the tool to recover it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] scp-507:
Thanks for the advice. However, once flash the TWRP .zip installer, immediately flash magisk, and then attempt to reboot back into the system it just throws me back into TWRP saying "Unmodified System Partition". Is there something I should be doing after I flash Magisk?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] scp-507:
Ignore this entire reply, I got it rooted. After flashing the TWRP installer, I rebooted back into recovery and flashed Magisk. Then, it booted and all is well, except for the fact that my bootloader is still unlocked and I still get that annoying splash screen telling me my data is insecure. How/should I relock my bootloader?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sarni84:
Well if you relock your bootloader you won't be rooted or have TWRP... It will also wipe all of your data like starting over when you got the phone out of the box.... If you want to stay rooted and use twrp you will have to deal with the splash screen all of us see it on our phones also. Basically you need to have the bootloader unlocked to keep root and have TWRP
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] djsubterrain:
You can't relock your bootloader, you currently do not have the default recovery partition, if you really want to relock your bootloader you would need to flash the stock rom back over itself so it replaces the recovery with the default one. Then you can run "fastboot oem lock" but be aware, as I said before, this will want to wipe your data so the rom will go back to default setup. Remember to disable bootloader unlocking from the developer settings if you do, then you will be back to the default stock rom state.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
If you want root, you need to leave the bootloader unlocked. That is normal, and just how it is. The warning screen is just something to live with.

You need to return to full stock (ROM, boot.img, recovery) in order to relock the bootloader (otherwise you will get a bootloop or no boot). Which of course defeats the purpose of rooting the phone. So again, having the bootloader unlocked is the normal and expected state, when you are rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] UnderHeavens:
Hi to everyone! I just wanted to ask you users if you ever experienced black crush and color banding on this device while watching multimedia, such as on Netflix. I've search around the internet but nobody has ever asked it clearly for this exact model and only for the s10e or s10+. Also, Erica Griffin, the techie youtuber, has posted a picture of the screen of both the s10e and s10+ with a black crush test in fullscreen. The diplay was first set as natural and then vivid, yielding different results. This showed that s10e is quite terrible in this regard, while s10+ only suffers it in natural mode. Can you also try this test and post pictures of the results?

If not, can you download the Display Tester app and see how many squares you can spot in the Black saturation test and if in the banding test you see some gradient on the left side of the raindow image (the dark tone part).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Dodecarock:
So basically,

I recently bought a pre-owned AT&T galaxy note 8 N950U from swappa. I got my new sim card and all that, but it was stuck on 7.1.1 and OTA was not working. I tried flashing using the fox den guide, but I kept getting FAIL(auth) after abl.elf so I gave up on that. Then I heard about firmware.science, so I continually followed that guide and downloaded OTA files a few times, re-setting up the phone each time OTA updates would not work anymore. I am now one OneUI and android 9, but the software version says it's from december of 2018. Looking at the AT&T software history, it says pie didn't come until like a month ago or so, which would be in 2019. Am I somehow on unlocked firmware?

My current baseband version is N950USQUSDRL7.

I just wanna get the latest security updates tbh, so this is super annoying. I can provide more info about the software if needed. Thanks in advance.
