[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
If you want to restore stock flash stock firmware via fastboot and then restore your backup using the twrp which created the backup

You can probably just restore the backup using the twrp that created it without flashing stock firmware first but just in case the custom rom alters anything that isn't restored with the backup

Make sure you backup efs partition just in case of a loss of imei
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Exanneon:
you need to unlock your bootloader and flash this TWRP for treble to work. i believe you then need to flash a rom which supports treble before you can flash your desired GSI
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] JarlPenguin:
You need to install a treble-enabled ROM. Currently it seems like there are none on XDA.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] IamGron.:
Hi

I have a Honor 5X (kiwi / KIW-L21) as my daily driver and as its nearing the end of it warranty (2 years) its starting to run slower (good job, Huawei). Given this and the fact that during these two years i never received ANY update apart from an update to android 6.0.1 from android 5, im considering switching to LOS 16.

The thing is im completely new to custom ROMs, recovery, phone rooting and that jazz and im a bit scared.

I wanted to know if there is a way I can try out LOS 16 (say for example on a VM) to be sure that i like it before installing.

If not, would I be able to restore my phone back to its current OS in case i dont like LOS and want to fall back to EMUI ?

PS : I wanted to try it out on an older phone I have and for which i dont care as much, but its not supported :'( Its an Asus Zenfone go ZB552KL

Thanks in advance !
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
The oldphone approach is a good idea. Go to a recycling place and grab some old Motorola or Samsung phones. Broken screen is OK.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] IamGron.:
My local trash collecting place isn't very open to people who want to take stuff (yes, what a nonesense) but i'll try that i guess. The thing is we have like 3 or 4 old phones but none of them are listed as compatible on the LOS website
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
You don't need official. Search XDA and you will find unofficial lineageOS for many old phones. https://twrp.me/Devices/ is a good place to find the phone's code name. With that you can check stats.lineageos.org for popular ROM versions.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] IamGron.:
Will give it a look, thanks.

If nothing usefull comes out of this investigation and I end up doing it on my 5X, is there a way for me to backup the whole phone (i mean not just data, like the whole OS) that way I can fall back to its current state if something goes wrong / i dont like LOS ?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
To be honest, there's various ways for backing up a whole device but, there's limited (possibly no) choices that all depends upon the device itself and the capabilities of said device. So there's no real way of answering this question without, also, taking under consideration that what works for one may/may not work for another.

With that stated...

I've always found that the only way to know if I like something as huge as updating the Custom Android version Firmware, is to "Hope for the Best and Prepare for the Worse".

I've been successful with Restoring TWRP Backups made but, have always had an (approximately) 50% +/- of a restoration working without any issues (a chance of requiring a fresh installation in the end).

In another words...

The only "recommended" way to upgrade/downgrade the LineageOS Android Versions is to make sure you have everything on hand for performing a fresh installation for both the upgrading and the downgrading of both Android Versions.

For anyone to guide you any other way should (ethically) be able to provide you with guidance in case something goes wrong in the process (of said guidance) with your specific device.

You should also ask for support and guidance within the LineageOS thread and, if needed, somewhere within the Device Dedicated Area of the forum that's specific to your device. This will help locate assistance from those who has your device as well.

For example...

Before I begin, I would like to point out that I have no connection with Spigen, except being one of their customers.

This morning I had the good idea to cook while watching a series on my phone, on my electric stove.

I turned on one of the hot plates but by mistake I turned on the one on which the phone was placed. I only understood my mistake a few minutes later, alerted by the smell of burnt plastic.

I'm a total jerk, and on this one Spigen completely protected my Pixel 3a. The outer part of the case partially melted, but the inner part was only slightly deformed. The phone was hot but without any visible damage.

End of story, next time I'll make room on my work surface rather than on the stove...

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] doodloo:
Greetings everyone,

I have a P20 Pro that was a long time ago under LineageOS 15. I've upgraded it to EMUI 9 out of curiosity a few months back, but I'm not happy with it and I would like to install LineageOS 16.

From TWRP, I'm trying to install the LineageOS 16 packages that I `adp push`'ed to `/sdcard`, but I get the following error:

...
Checking for Digest file...
E3000: This package expects the value "_a" for "ro.boot.slot_suffix"; this has value "".
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-16.0-20190728-nightly-charlotte-signed.zip'

I've tried with numerous LineageOS 16 packages (Latest signed official and a bunch of unofficial), they all give me the same error. I also tried with TWRP 3.2.2-0 with the same result. Anyone with a similar experience please?

Everything is unlocked on the phone (Both lines are RED on recovery).

Note that when I try to wipe using TWRP 3.2.2-0, I get errors that don't happen using 3.3.1-0:

Unable to wipe Cache.
Unable to wipe /cache.

I'm using ext4 for /cache, /data and /system.

[EDIT]What seems very odd is the fact that I'm actually able to flash LineageOS 15 (lineage-15.1-20181011_144350-UNOFFICIAL) but the phone gets stuck in a reboot loop afterward. Oh well, I'm without a phone :)[/EDIT]

[Android Head-Units] linesync:
I have a eonon ga9153a wich is a px5 based unit. Lost all sound to the speakers pulled the unit out to test and have sound from the preouts connected to an amplified speaker . Is there anything internal that I can replace like a fuse or something since dealing with eonon support is proving painfully slow and going nowhere.
[Android Head-Units] nic2k:
Wouldn't be a fuse but the problem is very likely a bad solder on the amplifier chip. Just reheat the pins with a soldering iron (not a gun) and apply a little bit of fresh solder. The soldering process they use takes a lot of tuning to get components with large pins soldered right without burning out smaller ones but they skip that and just rework by hand. The problem is their techs don't all have the same skill level.
[Android Head-Units] linesync:
Thanks for the reply. Seen a youtube video on youtube where it looked like they bypassed a chip with solder. Since the have seemed to stop answering my emails if figure just buy a small amp or open it up to see.
[Android Head-Units] nic2k:
You would need to know what the chip they bypassed does. There's a sound mixer chip/preamp before the power amp that's about all I could see getting bypassed but doing so they would lose sound from other inputs. I'm not sure what you would be looking for in a different amp but if you're going to buy an amp Scosche has a nice compact 4 channel class D amp at a decent price. Just connect that to your speakers and it will fit under the dash.
[Android Head-Units] linesync:
That's exactly the amp I am looking at . Probably best to just buy that rather then taking the unit apart.
[Android Head-Units] nic2k:
Well if you're not equipped to do soldering that's the easiest solution. Peak power for that amp is closer to 90W just make sure your speakers can handle it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyberace13:
Here's my problem, hopefully somebody can figure it out before I give up and sell this to somebody with AT&T.

I received a freshly refurbished AT&T 8525 (from ebay) and wanted to use it with a T-Mobile SIM. I upgraded to the latest AT&T distribution (WM6, downloaded from HTC), ran the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a successfully, put my SIM in and everything worked. After calling a friend and talking for about 5 minutes, the call mysteriously ended. I tried recalling (wouldn't connect) and then restarted the phone but it wasn't getting a signal.

Fearing the worst, I tried flashing the latest radio, rerunning the Unlock, and flashing various other ROMs (including an HTC, Schap's, and Pv Dvh Wm6.1 19209) but there was no change. The icon on the Today screen would either give an exclamation point or just continue scanning. If I went into the phone settings and tried to switch to manual network selection, I would sometimes get a choice of T-Mobile or Cingular but any connection attempt would result in a "Failed to register to network" message.

My SIM card works perfectly in both my old phone (HTC Tornado) and an older unlocked Nokia.

My last attempt was to put my friend's AT&T card into my A&T 8525 and it connected just fine with calling ability and everything! I've since run unlock many times, reflashed the radio, installed other ROMs and installed various version of Hard-SPL but none of them seem to be able to connect to the T-Mobile network using my SIM card (but have no problem connecting with my friend's). I can see the phone book on my SIM card so I know its not a bad SIM connection and it does not prompt me for a password (as it first did when I placed my SIM card in the phone when I first received it) so I'm pretty sure it is actually unlocked.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dieKatze88:
Try borrowing a friend's phone with AT&T, shove his sim into your phone and talking on it for a few minutes and see if it still happens there. If It doesnt then try your SIM again. Also, try reflashing your radio without your simcard inserted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyberace13:
I tried reflashing the latest radio without a SIM, then inserted my SIM but there was no change. I'll try talking on it for a while with my friend's SIM and see if anything happens, but I'm doubtful. Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

I've noticed that when I go into Settings>Phone>Network and select Manual, all the cooked ROMs I've tried end in a "Cannot read settings from the network." while AT&T's gives a selection of T-Mobile or Cingular (neither of which actually let me register to a network, though).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyberace13:
I put my friend's AT&T card in and called my own cell phone. The connection died after 5 minutes, but then I called my own cell phone again and they stayed connected for 10 minutes before I ended it. I put my SIM back into the 8525 and still no signal.:confused:

While the AT&T SIM is inserted, the Settings->Phone->Network screen is different. It just says:

Current Network: AT&T

and has a button for Find Network which just pops up a window saying "Registering on the network...

Any other ideas?

Send it back to whoever sold this to you on ebay. Not worth all the hassle that you are going thru. I have the same phone and bought mine off ebay as well. It worked perfectly out of the box with no problems. I have t-mobile and when I placed the sim in - bam - the phone just worked. I had to configure the pop3 email and mms settings manually, but that was it. I have htc's wm6 on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyberace13:
Thanks for the advice, but the first one I got from this guy the screen died after a couple of days. He said it was under warranty so I sent it back to him to get it replaced and it took him 3 months to finally return it to me. I really don't want to deal with him again.

I was wondering if there was a difference between the SIM cards. Could you please run the "SIM Manager" Application on your phone. Then go to Menu>Tools>SIM Information and check out the numbers there. Mine says:

Total Phonebook Size:

250

No. of Phonebook Entries

20

Max. length for name:

16

Max. length for phone number:

Although my friend who has an AT&T 3G SIM has slightly higher numbers for max. length of name, phone number, and SMS storage capacity.

I've also heard some stuff about specifically asking to get your account 3G enabled, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this problem.

I figure I'll go down to a T-Mobile store and see if I can get somebody to let me try a newer SIM in the phone before giving up completely and selling it.
