[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] terminajet:
Hi everybody,

I'm here to ask for help cause i have a problem with my honor 6X.

I was looking to implement carstream on it in order to have access to my youtube playlists. So i did the following :

- Find the Bootloader code for unlocking

- I unlocked the bootloader with the appropriate commands. After that i got the message that the phone was unlocked on boot

- After that i flashed TWRP in order to have a recovery custom. It worked well and i was having the TWRP menu when booting the phone with the volume up and power button

- Next, i tried to root the phone by adding magisk. Flash on TWRP did well but after the first boot i was asked by a message to insert the password to unlock phone crypting. I wasn't having this password so i tried to flash magisk again. After two flash the phone was booting correctly and i set it up. I installed Root checker and the phone was correctly rooted. The only problem was that i couldn't access to some parameters options like developer mode or unknown sources. The parameter app was closing when trying to access this options.

- As the problem looked to be from the OS i tried to implement a custom one (Pixel Experience) using the TWRP recovery i added before. After that everything started to go wrong. When i was in flash menu of TWRP i didn't know which partition to use in order to flash the system.img file. I choose the system partition to do it and operation was done. I boot the phone and after that but it stayed frozen on the boot image (honor on blue background).

- After a whole night waiting for the phone to boot i tried to boot on the TWRP recovery in order to add a new custom rom but i couldn't do it. Th e only recovery i have access is EMUI recovery. I tried to do a backup on the EMUI recovery but the phone still don't want to boot.

As th e situation looks critical i ask you for some help in order to avoid to make it worst. I currently have access to the recovery EMUI and i'm pretty sure to fastboot too even if i didn't try. First step know is to try to make the phone working again and maybe with some help try to implement carstream again.

Thank you for your help

It's midnight and I'm getting frustrated. I've been wanting to root my phone, but I can't even seem to unlock the bootloader. To start, I followed the instructions in the Backup Partition/renoroot thread , and I managed to do the first bit fine. Instead of using the Flashtool the OP of the pdf did, I went with the Minimal ADB Fastboot app instead. When I plug the cord into my phone while holding the Volume Up button, everything seems to go fine. I get the blue LED just like all the instructions say. But then I go to fastboot through the command prompt, but nothing happens. I even tried to do the final step in the official Sony guide, and it just gave me "waiting for any device". What am I doing wrong? Have I missed a driver somewhere?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaspernv:
Nevermind, I just used Flashtool while my PC was booted to allow unsigned drivers. Don't know why I didn't do that earlier. Sorry everyone.

Today's (July 17th) download looks a little different from last month's monthly update. This one didn't come with LG's usual "We are pleased to provide you with a free update" header.

This one just said "This download includes security update from Google." So it might be out of the normal loop of fixes or they just pushed it out. Update size is 124.3 MB.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
guys anyone having an issue like mine? whenever my device gets hot my phone starts to dim the brightness! like even if im on max I notice an auto brightness lowering (and yes auto brightness is turned off)

this happens only when the device is hot! it used to happen only on 4k mod but now its always happening even after I went back to 1080... when I watch videos that require a lot of internet like 1080p or 4k content

or gaming, or whatever heavy duty, the device heats a quite enough and the brightness simply decides to lower it self...

Locking the phone to let it cool for a bit seems to make a difference but almost in a couple of seconds after continue using it dims back, until im in a cool environment or wait for the device to cool

is it only my device? or is it a software thing for all XZ premiums?

Id like to hear someone's perspective

thanks in advance

Hi so ive purchased a 2nd hand M5 tablet . 10.8 it looks good , but im confused and concerned .

im aware this as a 2d glass , so the edges curve into the bezel , but my purchase seems to have a slit curve throughout the display , almost like it curves inwards in the centre , like a curved TV .

so the edges as per attached photos are slightly higher than the centre of the tablet... see attched

theres no creaks cracks damage nothing so is this how its designed .? View attachment 4793429
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Nope. It looks like the body of the tablet is slightly bent away from the glass screen. They should be completely flush with no gap.

Someone might have disassembled that tablet for some reason or it was damaged in some other way.

I've read about SmartSwitch and Kies 3. I currently use Kies 3. I don't care how user-friendly, clever, or fast it is. Anything better than Kies 3 to be able to restore single apps and pull out previous APKs? We learned the hard way that we need to turn off Google automatic updates from the play store. They arbitrarily roll out new policies that cripple businesses and cost them many thousands of dollars.

I have never been so frustrated with a phone purchase. I probably have 40 hours in this and it looks like it isn't over yet. First people say once it's upgraded to Pie there is no going back. Next they say it's no problem. Next they say you cannot go back to Oreo and I have a phone on order that is about to get re-listed if I cannot revert it.

If you can cross flash to ULM, you can try to see if the root method for the ULM model works.

I don't know if anyone has tried it with the VM model, though, but from looking at the instructions it seems plausible it might work. Or it might brick. Who knows until someone tries.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
Devs seem pretty certain that Livedisplay is the cause of this bug now. See:

"The error is due to LOS livedisplay. Proper fix unknown.

Someone has posted a workaround in our telegram group - this workaround fixes PIS issue at cost of livedisplay."

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79854602&postcount=1568

We now have:

"the issue resides in LiveDisplay implementation

if you can live without some LiveDisplay options, flash the "fix" attached below"

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79885756&postcount=2029

At least one ROM removed Livedisplay in favour of another implementation:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79614388&postcount=975

That was in May and as far as i know that fixed the issue there.

While Livedisplay may not account for ALL instances of this bug, it certainly appears to be at least a major factor. My own logs, (taken when both my OP3T and OP5 were hung on the 'Phone is Starting' message), include Livedisplay entries that are not present on a subsequent bootup.

Overall it doesn't look good for Livedisplay. You can see from the second link above that the .zip mentioned in the first link has been posted for use with the OP5/T.

What we know about the fix:

1) It makes edits to /vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml removing Livedisplay entries

2) Removes two files: /vendor/bin/hw/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0-service.oneplus_msm8998 and /vendor/etc/init/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0-service.oneplus_msm8998

(In the case of the OP3/T the 'oneplus_msm8998' would read 'oneplus3')

3) It removes a lot of Livedisplay functionality.

4) The fix as posted here should work on any LOS/Based ROM for both the OP3 and OP3T

Please read what [MENTION=4405529]nvertigo67[/MENTION] had to say about the PIS bug:

Ideally the bug would be squashed at it's source. i.e Livedisplay would be fixed by LOS. Otherwise it could be removed and replaced by something better on a ROM by ROM basis.

The flashable zip is attached as well as a screenshot showing what the Livedisplay settings now look like after it is applied: (crDroid/OP3T). 'Profiles' is removed but to me the calibration looks like 'Standard'.

Dirty flash your ROM again to undo the changes.

Many thanks to 2Tweak for adapting the script for use here, and to nvertigo67 as always for input and inspiration. Great work as always from both.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4405529:
Something's wrong with your screenshots:

Display mode (and therefor colour temperature) has been removed from livedisplay in favour for aosp Nightlight. Color profile (where one can select advanced color spaces like srgb and dci-p3) is missing completely.

I'll attach shots from curtent livedisplay implementation and after applying your zip.

EDIT: the linecount computation needs some love. Currently it's cutting like this:

ingo@adler /usr/local/src/los16/device/oneplus/oneplus3 $ linecount=$(sed -n '/<name>IPictureAdjustment<\/name>/=' configs/manifest.xml)

I guess it should be deleted from "<hal format="hidl">" to the next "</hal>". The unaligned "</interface>" breaks some other hals. I havn't tested everything, but - at least - wifi is broken.

I'm too lazy to look up the exact sed patterns, but I would delete from "<name>vendor.lineage.livedisplay</name>" minis one line to the next occurance of "</hal>" after " <name>vendor.lineage.livedisplay</name>"

Sorry, I have assumed the livedisplay section of op5t and op3/t are identically.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
The screenshots are from crDroid where they maybe aren't using the current LOS implementations.

My Wifi is disabled with the fix installed. Removing the fix restores it. Can't see how it could be affected by the zip though. How is yours?

Edit: You've seen it. I was expecting the same file versions on both the OP5/T and OP3/T.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4405529:
Your posting and my edit have crossed. See my edit above

---------- Post added at 20:13 ---------- Previous post was at 20:10 ----------

The longer I look at this, I think tje sed on the manifest file is nice, but unnecessary if the hal and the rc file are removed.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
This goes way beyond my level of understanding. That block of entries in the manifest.xml are very different on my crDroid version comapred to your LOS version:

<hal format="hidl">
<name>vendor.lineage.livedisplay</name>
<transport>hwbinder</transport>
<version>2.0</version>
<interface>
<name>IAdaptiveBacklight</name>

<name>IDisplayModes</name>
<instance>default</instance>

<interface>
<name>IPictureAdjustment</name>

</interface>
<fqname>@2.0::IAdaptiveBacklight/default</fqname>
<fqname>@2.0::IDisplayModes/default</fqname>
<fqname>@2.0::IPictureAdjustment/default</fqname>
<fqname>@2.0::ISunlightEnhancement/default</fqname>

If there are changes like that between ROMs, even on the same device, then specific versions of the fix would be needed for each ROM, and would stop working as soon as a ROM dev makes modifications to the base LOS implementation.

My mistake in thinking that the Livedisplay implementation would be consistent between ROMs.

If the edits to the manifest.xml aren't necessary, and only the two files need removing, that would make things much simpler.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4405529:
I've asumed the same. You need a more generic solution. This isn't trivial.

Trivial and Quick'n'dirty: leave the manifest alone (should work without touching the manifest).
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
Yep. I wonder how essential the manifest edits are vs just deleting the two files.

If LOS releases an update that changes the manifest.xml contents, the fix would need updating. It would get messy across multiple builds of LOS and messier still with LOS/Based ROMs and various builds.

Like you said, generic/works in all cases would be best, but probably not possible unless there were a way to delete that whole 'Livedisplay' block in the manifest regardless of it's contents.

I'm just going to delete those files manually now and see what it does to Livedisplay.

BRB.

Edit: Restored Backup, removed the two files and booted straight into a PIS Hang. I guess the manifest edits are essential. Gonna have to rethink this whole thing.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00264:
+1
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00264:
Removed the files and did the editing by hand; issue seems gone with wifi and other functionality still there.

So a smart sed or awk oneliner would probably solve it.

Unfortunately did not find a smart solution for that....
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
I dare say the modifications would work as expected if they could be applied consistantly, in a manner that doesn't break unrelated parts of the OS. I'm given pause to even use it on my OP5 knowing that the goalpoasts could shift any time.

Thanks for taking a look. :good:

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4405529:
While looking through this, I wonder why the livedisplay service is deleted, but the hal stays in place:

Deleted:

/system/vendor/bin/hw/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0-service.oneplus3
/system/vendor/etc/init/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0-service.oneplus3.rc

Modified:

/system/vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml

Untouched:

out/target/product/oneplus3/system/etc/permissions/org.lineageos.livedisplay.xml
out/target/product/oneplus3/system/etc/init/lineage-livedisplay.rc
out/target/product/oneplus3/system/lib64/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0.so

Is this done by purpose? Were those three files just forgotten? Is the hal still in use, though the service is disabled? Is the hal necessary to avoid LineageParts from crashing? Why do we still set the permission for the livedisplay's sysfs nodes (i.e. srgb and dci-p3) though we can't access them anymore? Why do we still propagate the featute "org.lineageos.livedisplay"?
