[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralplanner:
Hello,

I dug out an old phone of mine to activate for my son. For some reason I can't find out where to update profile and PRL for the new number. It has been a while since I've messed around with this phone and ROM. I've searched youtube and everything else I can think of. I have no problem going back to stock since my son wouldn't have a clue. What are my best options? Currently on android 7.1.2

Thanks!

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] yurtesen:
I have an X720 which I was using with LineageOS 15 for long time. I wanted to wipe it and install LineageOS 16.

So I first installed TWRP 3.3.1 wiped the /system, /cache and /data then uploaded the installation package for LineageOS 16 and tried to install it. But I am getting Error:7 every time I try it. There was no encryption on device. I don't understand what is happening as TWRP worked on this device perfectly fine until today.

I managed to install EUI 26s and it even suggested that there is an 30s update and updated itself to 30s fine. I also did full reset from within OS. Then I tried to install TWRP 3.3.1 again and tried to install LineageOS 16 but still TWRP gives same error. Also tried with `twrp-3.3.0-0-20190427-codeworkx-zl1.img`

I have another X720 and with it everything works fine. Why is this happening?

It says

The updater script shows

but I am not sure why this would fail?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] yurtesen:
I think I found out the reason. But it makes no sense. All files I transferred when inside TWRP using MTP are corrupt...

I managed to copy boot, system and vendor partition images from my working LineageOS 16 phone to the problem one using `fastboot` to flash them. For some strange reason, it looks like files become corrupt if I transfer them when I am in TWRP. If I copy a file to internal memory, it is corrupt.

Also now I am able to boot into LineageOS 16 I tested file transfers and transfers into the phone become corrupt, but if I transfer file to PC then it is fine. Also if I download file directly into phone it is fine. So I am sure that the flash memory is not defective.

I am not sure how `fastboot` works with the same usb cable without any problems. Any ideas? It just makes no sense...

Also I found out now that if I use type-c to type-c cable then transfers succeed properly...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] yurtesen:
OK. The phone has been working fine as long as I do not transfer files from the USB port. I am not sure what is wrong with it. But I also had problem with the button LEDs. They got dim over time. So the USB board is somehow damaged and perhaps it is effecting data transfers. I could have assumed the problem was the flash memory corruption if I did not manage to transfer data using USB-C cable. What a luck...

What I do not understand is how fastboot transfers data correctly with same usb-a male to usb-c cable. Perhaps it has error correction? Anyway... hopefully these findings help somebody some day...

I've been out of the custom ROM game for quite a while now. Looking to start to dabble again. Question are we able to run rooted devices and still take advantage of applications like Google pay via NFC? I thought I recall reading about some of the server side encryption pieces that Google put in to prevent NFC payments and Google pay from working if a round was rooted. Perhaps there are some work around that are new and I'm not aware of yet.

Any other audities in regard to running custom ROMs?
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] lucasheramos:
I rooted my device and decided to root out.

At the time of turning the rom in the device, I ended up installing a lower rom that was in the device. Now the device does not enable wifi, mac address is only 0 and the device is dead and does not recognize any chip.

I tried to run a new rom, but I can not because this flashing lock and when I try to use the command to leave flashing unlock, asks to enable the OEM option, but I can not enable the option because it requests internet access.

I've tried everything to see if I can connect to the internet to enable the OEM option and I can't. I even tried to use internet via bluetooth, but the device configuration does not recognize that it is connected.

Can someone please give me a solution?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
It isnt working for you because you have to boot directly into recovery, you can't let the device boot to any other mode, if you boot to any mode other than recovery, a device will revert back to stock recovery. You are rebooting to bootloader mode instead of recovery mode, this is causing the device to revert to stock recovery instead of booting into the TWRP that you flashed.

After flashing TWRP, instead of using the fastboot reboot-bootloader command, use the adb reboot command, enter it as soon as you are done flashing the recovery.

Use the adb command below:

adb reboot recovery

Then you should boot into TWRP.

hey, thanks for helping me out, but i cant get adb to detect my device, if tried multiple drivers for my phone and cant seem to get it to detect, any help with this one? thanks. also, fastboot can detect my phone just fine. ive tried the official htc drivers using sync manager, android bootloader interface, android adb composite interface and android adb interface. any help is appreciated, thank you!

as a side note, while trying to resolve this myself i found a post that said it was very hard to break the phone with s-on, which gives me hope.

It seems to have flashed properly with htc_fastboot.

Try flashing it again, then

htc_fastboot reboot bootloader

then select boot to recovery from the bootloader menu on your phone from there.

It should take you to TWRP
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstonedudeHD:
hey [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] there is no command for that in the htc fastboot, just brings up the help menu for fastboot. would normal reboot from fastboot work? or would twrp be overwritten by stock recovery? thanks for the help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
It should work with regular fastboot reboot bootloader then selecting recovery from there via your phone

EDIT: I have never had to use HTC's fastboot myself. It is necessary for flashing large files from your PC. I always flashed the large files (eg: RUUs) via the SD card method. But that wasn't for recovery.img s, it was for RUUs

EDIT #2: I'm going to request to the moderators to have this thread moved to a forum where you might find other help. You don't have to do anything about it. It will just get moved. The forum I'm moving it to is for the regular M8 and not the M8s, but people there will be able to offer help that you won't get here. I'll continue to monitor this thread there and offer help if I can.

hey [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION], sorry i havent been active, got burnt out on trying to fix it lol, but im back again.

found a way to use the normal fastboot to flash recovery (i think im no genius) using this command

c:\adb>fastboot flash:raw recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (30006 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.121s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.745s]

however when i use fastboot reboot or fastboot boot-bootloader ect, recovery just brings me back to fastboot. anyone any ideas?

i still cant adb to detect my device either. i know this might sound stupid but does my phone have to be in a specific state to use adb commands? i can only access the stock recovery so anything other then that and im screwed lol, thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Sorry I haven't responded sooner.

I would suggest you run an RUU. The problem is, I don't know of any RUUs myself for your current firmware version, and since you are S-On, you can't roll back to an older version.

If you can find an RUU for 2.11.161.1 download it and flash it. The only ones I can find are from a previous Android version. (1.xx.xxx.x)

Also, there is a newer TWRP version than the one you are using. Maybe that might be the issue? I can't be sure about this, since I'm familiar with the HTC M8, but not the HTC M8s.

You can download the updated TWRP version from here.

I believe it was updated to work with 2.xx.xxx.x firmware. But I'm not positive. It can't hurt to try it out.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
There's two there. I don't know what the difference between "partial" and the other one is. I would assume the partial one has the boot.img and maybe the recovery.img removed?

Use the other one. There are two ways to flash it since it is an RUU.zip.

#1: In fastboot: fastbbot flash zip **drag and drop the zip here**

#2: Rename the zip by deleting everything in the name of it except for 0PKVIMG (and .zip of course) and place that onto your extSD card (must be formatted to FAT32)

Put that into your phone then bot to bootloader. It should find the file automatically. If it doesn't, boot to hboot from boot loader.

From there it's super easy. Follow the on screen prompts. Volume up to confirm the flash. Power button to reboot after the flash is done.

Good luck! I hope you get everything up and running again.

Hey all,

I am looking to develop an app for android that is able to take virtual button presses from an android phone and pass them to a pc (would like to support windows, linux, and MAYBE OSX). Is there currently any known method to do this, preferably via usb (to minimize input lag)? Would it require the phone to be rooted? It's no problem for me to be rooted, but I would like to release this for a game on the pc and the majority of its userbase would not be rooted, and most of them zero experience with it.

Thanks for the spoon feeding!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mac796:
Flash stock like you did your ROMs. flash that DM varity at the end. Don't restore a stock backup if you didn't make it decrypted. Once you backup stock decrypted you can restore it anytime you want.

I've always started out on stock decrypted and then back that up. Then fish my ROMs you May have to reformat again so you can do it. I'm not to sure. If it's a different security patch you May have problems

So just flash the "full stock zip" that is posted with the ota ones?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mac796:
Yes full zip. I would try it without a reformat first, just a factory reset in TWRP, and if it doesn't boot, then you know you will need to do the full format in TWRP. But I don't think you will. I hope not.

But if you have suggestions and the exact steps you take I might try again

:confused:Hi I would appreciate your views on an issue I am having with my Vodafone V1615 badged Kaiser.

I use bluetooth a lot, when I am in the car and out and about via bluetooth headsets or carkits. I am used to just leaving it switched on all the time, on other phones, with very little impact to battery life. But since I started using my V1615 as my only device I have noticed how it affects the battery life. I decided to do some simple scientific tests!

With bluetooth switched on and used all day my battery was warning me of imminent data loss by 5pm. Thats a poor 8 hours from a full overnight charge. This is only using the device for voice calls, no gps or web surfing. I do however have BlackBerry connect though.

This is really disappointing! My previous device was a Blackberry 8800, and I could quite happily use all of the functions (including GPS) leave bluetooth on all the time and make frequent voice calls and get at LEAST two days of use from a single charge.

Are my experiences unusual is my device faulty do you think?

I would love to hear some views!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Have you actually used the phone all day with the same usage pattern with bluetooth off?

HSDPA with moderate data usage is about 16 hours of battery life. If you change it to EDGE, it more than doubles. This is from my experience, heavier data usage might make the numbers even worse.

I doubt it's actually bluetooth that's the problem.
