thank you for your quick reply.

- of course step 2, firmware version: 50.1.A.13, only on slot to 'a' ...

i haven't seen anywhere that it should on slot_b either, do you think this is a problem?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
I think yes

try installing it on both slots and see if it works

4, Su (arm64) 16.0, along with gapps

Gapps and Su, only on slot_a, or both a / b ?

is this a good procedure

firstly, why "MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip"? it an arm device!

secondly, I recommend installing a pure linage first and after a successful start, go back and flash gapps and su packages

Sorry, MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm-20190615_031401.zip (I misspelled the name)

- please tell, if Gapps and Su need flash only on slot_a, or both a / b ?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
sorry, I miss read your message, "MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" is correct

for the modules: MindTheGapps, GApps, Su, installing on the working slot will be enough, however you can install on both slots, some of the modules script will install it on both some not

but even if not, flashing it on the working slot (after a successful start of lineage" is enough

use twrp for flashing the modules, since some module's scripts are not compatible with lineage recovery mode

if things went wrong, you can always start with a fresh install of lineage, just play with it a little bit and you will get the best way to do it

after all you are taking the risks by flashing lineage

[GUIDE] Flashing LineageOS 16.0 on Sony XA2 By amrmesh
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] freitag_13:
Hi,

my XA2 already came with firmware version 50.1.A.13.123. Am I right that steps 1 to 11 are necessary to just have 50.1.A.13.123 running on the phone? And I can start at step 12?

Second question: the XA2 has this TA-partition with additional functions for the camera. The TA is swiped forever if the device is unlocked. Is Lineage OS capable of using this functions in the TA? Is there any need to backup the TA if I do not use this functions?

Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but this are my first steps at flashing a custom rom.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] onlytemp:
Flashing LineageOS 16.0 on Sony XA2 > "Can't load Android system" (solved)

Thank you so much, amrmesh, for this really useful how-to (https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xa2/how-to/guide-flashing-lineageos-16-0-sony-xa2-t3944964). By following it, I have - after endless tries - finally been able to get the following done:

1) keep phone from auto-rebooting after adb-sideloading lineageOS ROM, which inevitably led to the phone booting into the lineageOS recovery (*not* TWRP). So as long as I was using adb sideloading, I did not even get as far as flashing the GApps.

2) avoid various TWRP errors when flashing OpenGApps (pico), with TWRP claiming that a) I was trying to flash the wrong architecture (my SONY XA2 is arm64, but TWRP would keep on claiming the arm64 GApps were not suitable), or, b) (though knowing better), when trying to flash the arm GApps, that there was not enough storage space.

So, you cannot imagine how thrilled I was when, following your how-to, no errors occurred (exception below) and I ended up flashing lineageOS and GApps successfully.... or so I thought. Because here is what happened after the final reboot:

As so many times before, I got to see

- the unlocked-bootloader warning

- the SONY logo

- the android logo

but then the phone would reboot and boot into the lineageOS recovery again, claiming "Can't load Android system" - offering a factory reset of the phone.

So I thought "Back to one" - until I read Bobsright's post (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81496459&postcount=43) and just *did* the factory reset and - lo and behold! - everything worked out fine! LineageOS booted flawlessly, GApps were working, and so was root using addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip

Wooooowwwww!

The only question left now is how I am supposed to flash LineageOS-Updates like lineage-16.0-2020xxxx-nightly-pioneer-signed.zip

- Can I use Lineage Downloader Premium? Probably not, since it relies on a working TWRP, which I can only flash temporarily.

- Will temp-flashing TWRP in order to install the LineageOS zip lead to another 'factory reset' prompt?

- Can I use the LineageOS built-in updater?

If you have answers to one or several of these questions, please let me know!

Hardware and software used:

SONY XA2 (pioneer)

twrp-3.3.1-4-pioneer.img (temp-booted via "fastboot boot [file]". I had flashed TWRP at the very beginning of my efforts, so SONY recovery is no longer available. I cannot say if the TWRP recovery I flashed is still there - it seems to me that is has repeatedly been replaced by the lineageOS recovery)

OK, not sure this will help you or not as I'm on LOS 17, but I encountered similar situation and while in the android recovery (LOS recovery?) I wiped, figuring I was going to have to start over but that did the trick. Been working fine ever since. The only thing I haven't been able to do is flash Magisk successfully, but I really haven't put much effort into that.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] louis cyfer:
is the bootloader unlockable in the menu like it was on the z3 and z2? i am on verizon.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] wraith1932:
Yes, the OEM Unlocking button is still in Developer Options. Also, earlier today I checked the official Motorola bootloader unlock, and successfully got an unlock code.

Came really close to using it, but figured I should wait til someone who knows what they're doing releases or posts something about root. I don't have enough experience to know what else I could do with just the bl unlocked.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] [NV]:
Yes. Just enable dev options it's one of the first on the list in those options.

So im facing an interesting problem

I tried Samsung Level U Pro

Apple Airpods

Some generic Bluetooth Headphones

And some tecevo S4 headphones

I tried tons of phones legit like 50 at least (i trade phones constantly) and still as soon as i put my phone into pocket of my pants audio starts clipping or disappearing and it happens on 3 out of 4 headphones i mentioned my old Tecevo S4's are the only ones that dont clip on any phone when phone is in the pocket my question is why is there a way to fix that by changing some settings or could it be that my body is blocking the Bluetooth lol

Wanted to see if someone did head to head with these two external DSP units yet from an audiophile standpoint ...?

Both claim an improvement when it comes to sound even over HUs w/ internal dedicated DSP chip.

Couldn't even find any hardware chipset specs for the Eonon ext DSP unit..... No YouTube reviews. Nothing.... Only that it has a dedicated Equalizer app via BT connection....

Looks like Dasaita DSP unit is based on TDA7851A chip (see attached). No software equalization options / Only hardware adjustment of F & R Bass as well as Tremble on the unit itself.

Any feedback is much appreciated .....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JFox762:
I purchased a Samsung S7 on Amazon, and it was listed as a G930V. However, when I received it, I was disappointed to see that in "Device Info"... it lists it as a Samsung G930U.

From what I understand, this is indicates Unlocked Firmware install, which will prevent me from using Verizon's Visual voicemail and also be unable to use the built in Video calling feature, where you can video call anyone in the Verizon Network.

What I don't get, is why the back panel of the phone has a Verizon Logo, even though apparently it is unlocked. I thought all Verizon branded phones, have the G930v firmware?

Anyways, is it possible to flash the phone to G930 firmware, so I can use the features I want to have access to? Or is it recommended I just return this item and try and buy another G930v? Does anyone have any detailed instructions on how to flash to G930v?

Interestingly, when I checked the IMEI online... it lists the device as a Verizon G930V. I guess someone has previously flashed these to U from V?

ETA: Are there any benefits to sticking with Unlocked firmware? Are there any advantages of G930U over G930v? I know the G930v comes with a bunch of bloatware... but wondering if there are other things that VZW's firmware might handicap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Aimless Rambler:
3 weeks late but here are my insights. U firmware has less bloatware than the VZW branded firmware. In general, most people prefer the U firmware over their branded firmware unless, as in your instance, there are certain features only available in branded versions. My guess would be that yours was a VZW that was flashed to U. In all likelihood it shouldn't be too difficult to convert back to VZW, if that's your preference. You'll need to familiarize yourself with Odin flashing and the particulars of matching bootloader numbers for firmware to flash. For an example see link: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/202491/what-do-the-numbers-and-letters-in-the-samsung-firmware-mean

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] gwbyrd:
Hi there all! I'm posting in the hope this information might help others. I purchased an unlocked S10+ from eBay, but it had a bad motherboard. I sent it in to Samsung for warranty repair, and when they sent it back, they had locked the phone again. I wasted a bunch of time calling Samsung, T-Mobile and Sprint to no avail, until I discovered the international travel department at Sprint. They were able to unlock the phone again for me, and I can confirm that another XDA forum user was able to unlock their phone using my advice. In order to do this, they did have to confirm that the phone had been previously unlocked by Sprint, which they verified by looking up the IMEI number in their system. If you have a phone that was not previously unlocked by Sprint, this method will probably not work.

I called this number: 888-226-7212

That is the Sprint International department. They handle problems for people who are traveling overseas, like making sure they have the right plan, issues with connecting to foreign networks, and unlocking phones for people who need to use foreign SIM cards. I explained approximately as follows, "Hi there, I'm not a Sprint customer, but I'm looking for your help because I purchased a Sprint branded Galaxy S10+ that has a clean IMEI, is not stolen, is not blacklisted, and was already previously unlocked by Sprint. My problem is that my phone had a bad motherboard, and I sent it to Samsung for a warranty repair, and at the factory they had to put in a new motherboard and reinstall the software to factory settings, and unfortunately in the process they locked the phone up again."

She was very helpful, looked up my IMEI, confirmed that it was not blacklisted and she said, "I see that phone is already unlocked." I said, "Yeah, that's the problem... It was already unlocked by Sprint, but now it's locked again because of Samsung, and I don't know what to do, but I need it unlocked because right now I just can't use it." She said, "Yeah, that's not good, and I understand why you're distressed. I want to help you, can you please hold?" So then she had me on hold for a while, checked in on me a couple times, and after about 20 minutes, she finally came back and said, "I spoke to my technicians and they sent a "lock and then unlock" command to your phone. It could take up to 24 hours, so just be patient."

The next day, I inserted my T-Mobile SIM card and I had to reboot a couple of times, but VOILA, it worked!!! I can't believe it. Give this a try, be very nice, of course, and let me know below if it worked for you! If it doesn't work the first time, try again and see if you get a more helpful person. The other person who followed my advice said they had to call 3 times before they finally reached someone who understood the problem and was willing to help!

Good luck!

It has not happened yet on my new phone. For me it was intermittent. It occurs when I unlock my phone in direct sunlight.

Maybe a faulty sensor. It is a purple flashing light about an inch below the selfie camera in the centre of the screen.

Phone was closer to 10/10. It looks brand new. Not even any scratches around the charging port, usually the first place to see wear even if the phone is in a case.

I converted mine to a US Unlocked CID and flashed a US Unlocked RUU to it and am using it on Tmobile, but if you are a sprint customer

you shouldn't need a Sim Unlocked version and can save $30.

Thanks guys! Well guess what? It WASN'T stolen! For some reason Find my device was showing it five towns away, but it wasn't. I had searched everywhere for it, and tried calling it to hear it ringing somewhere, but when it rang through one time, then went to voicemail the next, I figured they turned it off and checked FMD. I freaked out and spent 4 hours changing all my passwords, calling my banks, etc. Well, a week later, I was looking under my bed for one of my cats, and there it was! It must have fallen off and bounced all the way under the bed! I looked around the bed but not really under it, never thinking it would go that far. The battery died after the first call to it, which is why it went to voicemail. I'm really pissed at find my device showing erroneous info.
