[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexceltare2:
After using the S6 Duos for a while and testing literally every feature I have to say that it is worth using it. However, it does have a few issues which I've yet to fix. so you may want to consider them.

- Not all languages are available. Certain UI elements & apps might not be translated when using an unsupported language.

- I cannot hide the data type indicator (4G/3G) even after disabling Mobile Data, and Dual SIM mode really clogs up the status bar (5 items).

- VoLTE does not work on some networks (UPDATE! Needs to change customer.xml to add the IMS settings and other carrier related features) and Wifi Calling does not work at all because ePDG subsystem is missing on this phone.

- Floating Messages UI crashes when WeChat app is installed. However the feature works flawlessly, only the UI control in Advanced Settings doesn't.

- Maps for SHealth and other apps use the Chinese Amap instead of Google Maps. (UPDATE! Needs to change customer.xml and change Country and Region for your specific language).

- Phone number locator a.k.a Caller ID is only in Chinese.

Hi, Alex.

I have been having issues trying to use gapps on my samsung s6 dous China. I have been unable to use my google acccount on the phone after all the processes. I flashed android 7, twrp and installed gapps, then no verify. The processes went fine, but cant still activate my google account. Can u please point me to anything I am missing and also the version of the android OS and posibly download link you used on your phone. Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dervxerox:
I went through the entire process and all went well until I tried to sign in through google play. It did the checking info screen and then went blank. No error messages. Has Google started blocking gapps?

I previously posted in a different thread but no one answered, so let's try again lol.

Hello. I recently purchased this Seicane unit:

[Alibaba (**dot**) com/product/62132856562/10-1-Inch-Android-9-0.html?tracelog=null

I've been having the usual issues that I kind of anticipated with these Chinese head units (ie. time was not set correctly when I initially installed it but I was able to fix it with an update, steering wheel controls no longer work, climate settings I press on the unit do not display on the screen but the A/C still works, just to name a few examples). But one problem I didn't anticipate was, my unit continuously reboots/powers off after I turn on the car and/or the screen may not come on unless I turn the ignition on and off again. With that being said, the Bluetooth cuts in and out as well and microphone quality is subpar at best, even after using an external mic from a previous isimple unit used with my original navigation unit.

So far, I honestly like this Seicane unit and I don't have buyer's remorse, but these little annoyances are starting to add up. Is there anyway I can fix these issues, especially the annoying rebooting? Thank you.

I recorded what I'm talking about earlier after work today:

[MTCD Software Development] brettf:
I have the same unit. I fixed the climate control setting display issue.

Have a look at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...003-accord-t3923783/post79435287#post79435287

The other problems sound like they are related to a bad install.

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] danielgamboar:
Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to downgrade the moto g6 play xt1922-7 boost mobile, I'm on the security patch February 1, 2019. I had to move from the USA and I need to unlock it, but it seems to be a problem with this security path. I took a look at this thread (https://xdaforums.com/g6-play/how-to/guide-t3929928) but I don't know if this might work to downgrade to another security patch.

Any suggestions?

Thank you all, guys.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
That's my guide. It's for unlocking the bootloader which is not the same as sim card unlock, it's also for disabling forced encryption and rooting and In case you messed up reflashing stock firmware. While it is possible to downgrade, downgrading will not help unlock your sim card for your phone. Boost Mobile allows sim card unlock after the device has been in service with boost Mobile for a year.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] anoymonos:
Had anyone experienced their device being unlocked while in their pocket. Mine had several times, even some quick toggles have been changed from where I had them set. Apps opened, not just opened but digging into multiple button presses. Even today mi wife says I called her twice while phone in pocket. I use fingerprint security with pin backup and somehow phone is bypassing both of theses in my pocket. I've tried numerous times to replicate out of my pocket with no avail. I'm on stock TMobile no mods or rooted.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
It happened many times for me.. you might be having Smart Lock enabled... even then, proximity sensor on OnePlus 7 Pro isn't good.. but disabling smart Lock should fix your issue
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] anoymonos:
Yeah I checked and smart Lock has always been off
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RISHI RAJ:
I encountered the same issue today
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
Weird. Do you have fingerprint lock enabled?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] anoymonos:
Yes I do. From what I can find on the web previous OnePlus devices had a Pocket Mode which is not present on the 7 pro. But viewing T-Mobiles website under settings list it shows it is in the utilities section under settings. But not on my phone. I even searched for it with the search option at the top of settings menu.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] anoymonos:
I've also noticed that in settings under utilities there is a section called app locker, when I click on it, it asks for pin and then just resorts back to the utilities menu giving me no option to add apps to list. It does nothing.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
What Pocket Mode did (I had it on my 3T) was ignore screen touches, if the proximity sensor sensed an object nearby (assuming it was your pocket).

Even without Pocket Mode, a press on the screen, or movement of the gyro should only turn on the "ambient display" screen. You can't do anything from that screen except scan your fingerprint (which you confirmed you have fingerprint security enabled). So I'm puzzled how the butt dials or other things occurred in your pocket.

I suppose it's possible the power button is being accidentally pressed in your pants. Which brings up the lock screen - slightly different from the ambient display screen, as it gives access to the quick toggles, camera and voice assist. But it would seem like a strange combination of accidental power button pressing and screen touches happening in your pants, to make the things you mentioned happen. TWSS ;)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RISHI RAJ:
Also the fingerprint is disabled whenever I take my phone out of pocket,It says too many attempts

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
I would suggest, however, that unless you are going the way of full customizable roms to stay away from TWRP install. With the way that this phone is setup, TWRP it his or miss whether it works or not. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeroBurner:
Thanks a lot for the guide! One question: do I need to delete any files from the downloaded firmware (downloaded by XperiFirm)? In one old guide I found it was mentioned I need to delete the file fwinfo, otherwise the device gets bricked
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
newflasher will flash all the files (EVEN UNNECESSARY FILES) to your phone, this will do no harm for you, they will only stay there :)

I just wanted to keep it simple :) even for my phone I didn't delete the .hash files and some other files, no worries

Plus, you will reformat system and data partitions in later instructions, so don't care about it
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeroBurner:
I have a working Stock Android 8 phone again, thanks!

adb sideload lineage....zip did not work for me, it failed after about 30% downloading

I worked around by pushing the image with `adb push lineage...zip /` and then install it via the TWRP GUI

as a side note: I was not able to install opengapps pico because when sideloading it said that opengapps is the wrong architecture. It says I need arm, but the XA2 is a arm64 phone, isn't it?

once again THANK YOU!
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
You're welcome :)
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeroBurner:
please add optional steps before 29. Now remove the cable and go back and then reboot to system

as discussend in IRC flashing gapps needs a reboot to bootloader and needs to be installed in TWRP

optional

- reboot into bootmode again

- fastboot set_active a

- fastboot boot twrp

- enable sideload in TWPR with swipe

- adb sideload open_gapps-arm64-9.0.zip

- reboot into bootmode

- fastboot set_active b

- fastboot boot twrp

- enable sideload in TWPR with swipe

- adb sideload open_gapps-arm64-9.0.zip

- maybe once again set_active a, but I'm not sure

Problems with H4113

Thank you for the instructions.

I carefully followed them and tried several times: in the end I always get stuck with the vertical line error on my H4113. Fortunately there is a way out of the line error: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79651818&postcount=839.

I tried different variations using your instructions e.g. using different TWRP- and Lineage-versions. Still always the vertical line error.

Any idea on how to get out of this misery? I would really love Lineage on my XA2, that is the reason I bought this phone...
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
did you flashed the original Sony firmware? and it worked?

this guide was tested on H4113, so there should be no problem

at which step you have problem?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dooshbagel:
>If you are using windows, make sure to install drivers first

Which drivers?

Is any of this relevant if I want to install the /e/ ROM (a degoogled LineageOS fork)? The /e/ ROM in question has an install guide for the XA2, but do I need to do anything else beforehand?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
The drivers for your windows to recognize the phone, otherwise fastboot and adb can't detect your phone, I don't use windows so I can't help you with that but I thing installing Sony companion software would do the trick, when you are in bootloader mode (blue light) issue "fastboot devices" if you see your phone in the list you have the driver otherwise the driver is missing

I tried this steps with lineage-microG and it worked too, didn't tried /e/

the problem is that if you upgraded your phone to android 9, lineage can not be installed, any other os which is based on lineage is the same
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dooshbagel:
Thanks. Is TWRP the program I can back up the OS with beforehand (and restore it in case I screw something up)?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
don't rely on TWRP, even with just booting TWRP it is possible that your os is not working anymore
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoernMe:
Here are some variants I tested:

I reset the phone via EMMA to 50.1.A.13 and then started with step 9. After step 25 I had the vertical line error.

I downloaded 50.1.A.4, as the 13 is not available for the H4113 at Xperifirm. Again, at step 25 I had the vertical line error.

I downloaded 50.1.A.13 for the H3113 and gave it a try, not knowing what else to do. Again, step 25.

I did all those steps with TWRP 3.3.1-1 and 3.2.3-1. I really followed the instructions in every detail (except for the first run, where I stepped in at 9).

I tested to install instead of step 21 and 22 the image via SD-Card and the Install-function in TWRP. Again, step 25, vertical line error.

I repeated some of those variants with Lineage 15.1, as I would prefer that one to the official Android 9. Again, vertical line error.

I seriously don't know what I'm doing wrong here and what useful variant I can test. At the moment I'm running 50.2.A.0, flashed with Newflash - without any problems. One thing I didn't do is installation without an SD-Card inserted, but I don't know why that should do any harm.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
can you send me the version of newflasher and TWRP you are using?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
try this:

after step 6:

Open a terminal and run this "fastboot set_active a"

Run the newflasher

run this "fastboot set_active b"

Run the newflasher

continue from 8
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoernMe:
It says Newflasher v17, TWRP 3.3.1-1, though I also testet with 3.2.3-1 with the same result.

Which SW version shall I flash? For the H4113 I only have the 50.1.A.4 or the 50.1.A.13 for the H3113. Xperifirm unfortunately has no 50.1.A.13 for the H4113 available.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
someone I know used 50.1.A.13.123 for h4113 and it worked fine
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoernMe:
And that's my problem - no 50.1.A.13.123 available for the H4113 on Xperifirm. Any idea where to get it?

Edit:

I figured that the EMMA Tool somewhere might have stored the firmware on my PC, as it is the exact version I need, and yes:

under C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Xperia Flash Tool\2019-06-28-204451\localstorage\Default there was a file 1.9GB in size, I opened it with Winrar and voila, there is the firmware. I'll now give it another try...
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
use an older version of XperiFirm v5.3.7 and see if you can find the firmware
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoernMe:
Actually I could use the firmware from the EMMA directory and apparently the double flashing on a and b before step 8 was the trick :D

THANK YOU! I finally got Lineage running!

TWRP does not boot on H4113

I have apparently successfully flashed my H4113 to 50.2.A.0.379 using XperiFirm 5.4.0 and newflasher v17. It boots to UI when slot B is active.

But TWRP does not boot. I tried the current 3.3.1-1 and the older 3.2.3-2, with "fastboot boot <image-file>".

Still no success. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] lupo@xda-developers:
I have tried it, still no success.

After fastboot finishes uploading the image, it can be seen that the backlight is on for some time, but nothing more happens.

May it matter that LOS 15.1 was installed before using newflasher?

Any further suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marteng69:
As mentioned in you made the mistake, that you installed a android 9.0 stock rom. LineageOS cannot be installed with a android 9 firmware on the phone.

To downgrade use the instructions here. Maybe you have to do that for slot A and slot B.

Then start with the flashing guide from the beginning.

Attention! With that method all your data on the phone gets lost! Make a backup before.

23. Go back, reboot to bootloader

Ignore "no os installed!"

24. Run "fastboot set_active b"

25. Run "fastboot boot twrp ...", no installation, wait, phone dead.

two phones dead at the same step, no more startup just flashing green light, no connection in any mode.

What is the problem?

also try this:

after step 6:

Open a terminal and run this "fastboot set_active a"

Run the newflasher

run this "fastboot set_active b"

Run the newflasher

continue from 8
[Sony Xperia XA2 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrmesh:
sorry for late reply

did you managed to fix it?

the problem is that you've upgraded to the last version first, which will break things with lineage

you should use newflasher to flash an older frameware first then try to install lineage
