[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
So you rather risk to lose all your data if you play with partitions and slots?:confused:

If there is no chance to backup data and reset the phone I wouldn't do anything for now. Hope you'll find a way to fix your problem.:good:
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Nobody07:
I guess I will just have to wait then.

What is your advice to be the more effective when it comes to backing up everything and putting it back again?

Can I just restore data + Internal storage + all the other partitions and it will be the exact same? If so should I first restore the data and then flash the ROM, or the other way around?

Thanks

Edit: Is there a possibility to only "reset" one slot?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dovedescent7:
Just got the G960U here in USA and its great.

But that fact that its my first bootloader locked Samsung is bugging me and im pretty sure i'll return it.

I use UltraMobile mvno -T-mobile sim with Wifi calling enabled.

Both the bootloaders on these models are unlocked correct? They are both Exynos? If there another model that has unlocked bootloader?

Is one more desirable than the other?

Any major drawbacks/differences with these models if i were to use in USA?

for example, do devs create more custom roms for one or the other?

Or would one model be more likely to be able to get wifi calling better like if i flashed the right CSC?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mobileanimal:
It looks like the SM-G9600 or SM-G9650 (Chinese/Latin American) are the versions to get. They have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, is bootloader unlocked, and apparently even working on Verizon and T-Mobile (see the thread below). They don't have bands 30 or 71, but that's not the end of the world since most older phones as of a few years ago don't have those bands. I'm still wondering if dual VoLTE is working on these.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] + = Bunty = +:
Hi Everyone,

I am using dual sim Sony Aqua M4 E2353. All of the sudden, the screen go black. Now I can not see anything and I want to backup phone's data.

Vol up + Power key gives single vibration and then three consecutive vibration and then phone is switched off.

I can easily switch on the phone as get vibration on clicking power key.

As the screen is black, I can not unlock it with my pattern lock. I connected the phone to my computer and it was connected; however, as the screen lock is enabled, it did not allow me to go inside the drive and to get the data back.

I used third party software but it says that USB debugging should be on to recover data using their software.

I want to know the following and need help to recover the data:

1. Is there anyway I can disable lock pattern without looking at screen?

2. Can I use ADB to make USB debugging on or can use ADB to unlock the phone?

I am on stock ROM with unlocked bootloader. I want to recover and get back the data only. Please help me as any help for this would be highly appreciated. Please provide steps how can i get my data back from the phone as screen is all black.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fusion327:
Starting early July, my Pixel 2 XL on stock Google ROM has been crashing constantly. Tried a whole sort of troubleshooting but cant seem to fix it. Looking to see if someone can see something that I dont.

Symptoms

When Pixel 2 XL, on (PQ3A.190705.001, Jul 2019), charging and left alone, the phone would become unresponsive for up to 5 minutes, then proceed to do a soft restart and show the Phone is initializing. No problems when running the phone off the charger.

Troubleshooting

Tried the basic troubleshooting steps from Google Support (Update to latest system update, remove free space, safe mode, factory reset)

Tried reflash June factory image from Google (PQ3A.190605.003, Jun 2019)

Tried different charger

Disabled digital wellness app

Disabled the Private DNS and uninstalled Blockada (heard issues with it)

Nothing seems to work. Google support suggested that I get it exchanged under warranty, however, I feel like it is a software issue more than hardware. This is because when I monitor it under logcat when it stops responding, I see there is a whole bunch uncaught FATAL EXCEPTION so it seems that something is causing it to error out.

I am not too familiar with Android logs so I cant pinpoint it out. If anyone have more expertise can help with taking a look at the log to see what the root cause is, that would let me know what I should do for next step (ie try Android Q Beta if it is a system issue, get a new phone if it is a HW issue, or change certain settings).

Here is the log file

Thanks

So called into Sprint and let them know the family and I would be traveling. Asked them to international unlock our 2 pixel 3a xl's and they said they would but it would be 3 days before they could. So I'm leaving this thread here so I can report back and let you guys know if this will allow me to unlock the bootloader of this device.

Wish me luck!

And if you have any other news or ideas about getting the bootloader unlocked for us carrier locked people, please share!

Edit : Looks like Sprint didn't even internationally unlock it like they said they would. If anything changes, I'll report right here.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dcd1182:
because i've dumped it, looked at it, ported it, and played with it.

its "interface" is called manilla, if you search you will find that it is a graphic intensive replacement for todays htc home, and your vogue does not have graphics support to handle it.

most other OEM apps are portable with a few exceptions, since you wont need connectionsetup or advancednetwork etc etc on a cdma device.

again, its really not exciting. its a new OS build like you have seen in the past. the OEM apps that will work on your device are not new, just new versions.

Hey folks..

Due to bad luck my TicWatch S2 died during a firmware update process. (I was not flashing...the system was)

It seems that the boot.img got corrupted and now it will not boot at all.

Fastboot is still working so i thought i might be able to just flash the original stock firmware.

Which is exactly what brought me here.... I can not find it anywhere on the web.

I have emailed MobVoi but of course there was no response.

They suggested to send it in but this is just no feasible since the watch will be gone for at least 3 months...costs involved etc etc.

Makes no sense to send anything back to china these days.

My current rom is/was : PWDR.190618.001.A1

It would be great if someone could help me out here.

Or even a way to root it since a friend of mine has the same watch but we do not have the means to extract the ROM without root.

Nicolas
[Other SmartWatches] lordsolrac2:
Does anyone know how to Extract img files from a backup via fastboot? Apperantly, the Ticwatch E/S2 can easily be unlocked. Should I know how to get the files, I'd gladly share them for recovery and development purposes.
[Other SmartWatches] Nicolas72:
fastboot oem unlock is all that is needed to unlock them.

As far as I know there is no way to grab the recovery or boot image through fastboot tho.

While in recovery the abd is disabled so that is a no go too.

If you know of a way to create a 'fastboot' backup ..please let me know.

Nicolas
[Other SmartWatches] lordsolrac2:
Good News! I've digged a bit and got to make a backup! You do however, need to use TWRP, that means unlocking the bootloader if you are able.

The Ticwatch E/S2 doesn't have an officially supported TWRP image, however, I used the Ticwatch C2 because it's the same CPU. You could try to use another ticwatch's image, though. For the C2, however, there was an offset on for the buttons. I'll be uploading my backup as soon as I can

Going to try it ASAP.

Personally, I could not get any of the twrps to boot at all...and I do not want to permanently flash it since i do not have the original.

Skipjack seems to be the best bet but looking at the git repo i do not see why it will not boot.

Weird...will keep at it tho.

Nicolas

Edit...i guess that bricked it.

I am just getting a black screen with

Device software can't be checked for corruption.

To pause boot press side button.

I can not even get back into fastboot mode. Ah crap.

[Other SmartWatches] lordsolrac2:
Holy hell.... could you send it for repair? O_O Seems to me the boot partiton was in fact damaged. As for the test point I do not know. :c
[Other SmartWatches] Nicolas72:
Sending it back is really not an option. Mobvoi is notorious for taking forever to even process your request.

Plus..sending it back and forth...with an unlocked bootloader etc etc...they will just say it was my own damn fault.

Which in a way it was. Should have sent it back when it first happened if anything.

I managed to get the watch into QDL mode tho. Not that his helps me much since i do not have the firmware binaries needed for that mode.

Can you put your S2/E2 into fastboot without using adb commands ? Like with the old E it was keeping the button pressed..waiting for vibration then press again a few times.

With the S2/E2 this does not work any more.

It can only be the boot that is damaged..nothing else. So the watch itself is pretty much still functional.

In case i figure it out i will post the details here.

And check in the downloads, they have the STOCK as well as a CUSTOM rom for the E2 (again, should be 100% Compatible with S2) but also has a TWRP Build.

To answer your question; I'd suggest grabbing the TWRP for the E2 and boot into it, push my backup (or the stock or custom rom from the link above), and then make a backup of yours, and then flash the backup or rom; clear data and cache and reboot

Unzip the Ticwatch-E2 backup.zip ,and you'll get a backup.ab

you can use this command:

adb restore C:\adb\backup.ab

I don't know why it always end up with an error (mordent... I don't know how to spell ) but it worked. After finishing backup.ab , you have to reboot the device.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some help because now I'm hopeless. My Flex 2 one day a few day ago lost any possibility to connect to mobile network.

When I try connect to mobile network automatically I get a message "Unable to connect to this network at this time, try again later"

When I try to search available mobile network manually i get a message "Error while Searching, disable data transfer",

but all icons says that is no data transfer enabled.

When I try to change Preferred Network type to "GSM only", it jumps automatically to "GSM/WDCMA/LTE Automatic".

I thought that is an issue with sim card, but this sim work well in other mobile huawei, and the same issue occurs in GFlex with other sim, so it is definitely issue with Flex.

I tried everything, restore to factory settings, update an android, root, but without succeed.

So maybe someone of You meet this issue and know solution of this.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
Copying Hibinoh's work here for simplicity (not my work; this is a copy of the post of the person above):

Since someone asked Sprint, to get 9.0 on your sprint, following the steps:

1, get RETIN 9.0(XT1789-06_NASH_RETIN_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip), and the latest Sprint 8.0(XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip)

2, unzip both ROM, find a copy of mfastboot, a copy of TWRP(use nash's TWRP)

3, copy the boot.img from RETIN 9.0 to your phone's sdcard

4, wipe your phone(data + cache)

5, use mfastboot flash following files from RETIN 9.0:

Code:

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system_b system_other.img
mfastboot flash oem oem.img
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

6, use mfastboot flash following files from Sprint 8.0(!!!BECAREFUL, DO NOT FLASHED FOLLOWING FILES FROM 9.0!!!):

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

7, boot into TWRP

mfastboot boot YOUR_TWRP_FILE_PATH

8, use TWRP to flash the boot.img(step 3) to 'boot'

9, reboot

Well, I am happy on 9.0, but not happy to lost google pay(yea I know there is magisk hide)
