Not alot of developer support, security patches gets more sophisticated, however we've just got treble so maybe we'll get an official update after pie is all set and ready, ashyx twrp works really well, have you tried that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Nick1Man:
Thanks for your reply.

So we can expect the official TWRP to finally be released.

What about official custom ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Who do you think builds these so called 'official' twrp recoveries? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Nick1Man:
Those who cares:D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Almost correct.

Still seem to be under a misconception as to what official actually is.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Nick1Man:
I know the meaning of official and unofficial and stock and ...

Even if I don't know anything, it has nothing to do with u.

so i cracked my LCD a couple weeks back..today i recieved a replacment LCD from htclcd.com ...followed the instructions from the site..now i turn on my phone..and everything works perfectly..exept it cant find a signal anymore...seems to recognize the sim card...everything else works fine..just no signal...where could the problem lie? any suggestions? thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livefastdiefun87:
I would be very suprised if the lcd has caused this issue, have you tried a manual network selection yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikiort:
It is likely that you have accidently disconnected or damaged antenna or connection to the antenna. I'd try to disassemble, examine visually that all parts are OK and reassemble the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stolli:
thats that i was thinking..but i dont know where the antenna is located in the phone so i dont even know where to begin to look

Hi stolli,

please let me know if you could repair your phone I have the same breakdown for the same reasons.

thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stolli:
is there a way to replace the keyboard or fix the problem somehow?

It may just be the Keyboard FPC connector is not inserted firmly enough. See pages 21 and 33 of the manual.

Hi, it seems that all lugs looks good, but it is not easy to see if contacts are OK, Wlan, GPS, Bluetooth are OK but not GSM :confused:

I tried to connect via VOIP, voip is connected but i always have no services??????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stephlight:
green led is flashing, is it for GSM, wifi or dial?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stolli:
did you insert the lugs from the battery side first? the contacts are the gold pieces...if they are intact they should be fine..when you put the tilt backtogether did you put it together firmly, tighting all the bolts? also make sure flight mode isnt on
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stephlight:
Yes, I also slightly recovered "lugs" that looks a bit twisted.

Do you with one is used for GSM?

I changed several times mode phone to flight to test the line but still nothing.

I will work in Paris tomorrow, I'll test the gsm signal will be better , but on my other phone with the same Sim all is good.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stolli:
the reason why the lugs are neceassy is to hold the casing firmly down so the gold connecters touch...make sure that the casing is tightened firmly down..and maybe lift the gold connecters on the main casing a little bit so they stick out more (thats what i did)..make sure not to break them tho..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stephlight:
The problem must come an other part, the lugs are good.

I had great difficulty connect to GSM in Paris yesterday.

I have disassembled it again checked and reassembled but nothing new.

thanks for your help.

Hello

I killed my Kaiser by flashing a Touch Diamond ROM to it.

Sent it to repair service and they say the Mainboard needs to be replaced,but the price for repair is ultragious :eek:.

I realy need the device,it was a big help in my confused life style.

Can anyone tell me how can i fix it myself. Or where i can buy a mainboard. Or where can i send the device to repair for a cheaper service?

Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

WOW! It works, when I gave up! Ironic! :DDD

Ok, so if there happens to be others with the same issue.

Make sure when you connect the golden keyboard connector that the black thin line on it gets positioned exactly where the brown lock ends.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] SK4Di:
Hi,

This problem occurred about a week ago.

When I hold my volume up or down a few seconds to adjust the volume, suddenly the volume bar maxes out or hit the bottom and gets stuck there.

If I try to adjust it on-screen (without the buttons) like when it gets stuck at the maximum volume it jumps to the maximum volume again. (Same thing goes for the opposite).

Now About the power button.

It just doesn't work sometimes. Like it won't turn on my phone or turn it on.

BTW I changed my ROM to AOSP extended for about 2 or 3 weeks ago but this problem just happened as I mentioned before a week ago.

What should I do to fix this?

Thx in advance!

If i flash magisk zip directly from twrp, then it breaks a lot of things when i boot.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] CarbonGTR:
To be frank, I've never flashed Kiwi's kernel but Flashing Magisk with TWRP shouldn't break stuff, Unless you rooted before. In that case, Once the phone reboots, Flash kernel from within the Magisk Manager app.

I always flash Magisk with TWRP on any kernel, Fenix, Fire and Stock.

Thanks for your work on Nokia 6.1 plus to make our everyday ease with it.

I just bought Nokia 6.1 + (TA-1083) this week. It is well designed and work very good to me. But the followings are short comings and I like to tweak a little.

1. Battery power is not solid as my previous Moto G5s.

2. Speaker Out could be a bit loud and crisp. The Ring tones are sound very less in big room.

So landed here. I like to flash this Black Caps kernel for extended battery backup and I don't want to install Custom ROM and flash TWRP recovery permanently at this point of time. Just flash this kernel on Stock Android 10 ROM ;).

Will these steps work?

1. fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-DRG_sprout.img #boot in to twrp

2. Take backup

3. Flash kernel zip from Phone/SD

4. Reboot to Android.

Will the stock boot img in X6 recognize the Black Caps kernel that I flashed and boot into Stock Andriod 10 every reboot? will work without any issues? :rolleyes:

Hello xda Community,

i recently swtiched from OnePlus3 to Xiaomi 9T 128gb with global Rom. While synchronizing all my apps on the new phone, i had some issues on some Apps (e.g. SwiftKey, Jodel (socialapp in germany)).

So what happens is, when i select on SwiftKey my Google Account to proceed the data sync (with my personal wordbooks etc), a white Popup comes up and a Loading-Circle symbol. after then nothing else happens. Exact same thing on the other app (Jodel). I select my Google Account to proceed backuping my data, and it just open a white popup window with the loading circle.

Any ideas why it is stucking ?

Thanks in advance

Did anyone manage to downgrade from 9.1.0.311 to 9.0 or 8?

When I am trying to rollback to 9 in Hisuite it doesn't work (TWRP says No OS installed).

I'm on the MIUI global 10.3.1.11 stable (PFJMIXM), stock kernel 4.14.83-perf+

I accidentaly stumbled upon this:

getprop | grep platform

Which reports back with:

[ro.board.platform]: [sm6150]

So that's the snapdragon 675 product name.

That made me check out cpuinfo.

for the first cluster and:

CPU part: 0x805

for the second cluster:

CPU part: 0x804

Those are part numbers pointing to the snapdragon 675 as well!

Then I checked the sysfs: here the cpuinfo_max_freq is reported as expected - 2.208GHz on the fast cores and 1.8GHz on the slow ones. Not the 2 x 2GHz & 6 x 1.7GHz of the 675 SoC.

I doubt that we got cheated, and I'm guess it's just a question about how xiaomi kernel devs made the device tree, and reused parts from the snapdragon 675 drivers?

Could someone with some knowledge about kernels/AOSP/device trees confirm?

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdausernl:
My tab 3 device is rooted with King0root, that worked well.

I downloaded and installed the root app from Firefox when I was logged into the Tab3 because downloading from Odin in Windows did not work (due to driver problems).

F-secure is installed from Google Play.

Odin also didn't seem to work on other (Windows) computers and I tried the different Odin versions.

The only Odin version that seemed to work was 3.07, but because the status bar was missing on the Tab3 while loading, I knew something went wrong.

After F-Secure was installed, everything first worked well, but that was short-lived.

After about 3 weeks, Tab3 was restarted, F-secure message windows appeared immediately after logging in with the text 'program has stopped' and within a minute the crash and restart.

F-secure stop and delete failed, because the system crashes randomly.

King0root cannot be stopped or deleted either.

In recovery mode, I deleted user data / factory settings and deleted the cache, all of which have no effect.

In safe mode, the apps cannot be stopped or deleted either.

With Heimdall-Frontend I could only flash individual parts from stock ROM on Tab 3.

A status bar was displayed during loading.

But after the flash is completed and Tab 3 is restarted, there is no noticeable change because all added apps remain.

The system also continues to crash randomly.

The only thing that changed after flashing is the date / time that was reset to the build date, that's all.

When flashing 'system.img' it was noticed that the Tab 3 is restarted immediately after completion.

When flashing all the other components, it took a few seconds for Tab 3 to restart.

To me it seems that with such a quick restart 'system.img' will be removed.

That would explain why no 'real' changes were made when restarting after the flash has been completed and the user data has been erased.

Now this thing seems to be 'soft bricked'.

Can someone help me solve this?

Another boot loader was proposed, who can help with that?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdausernl:
Today I quit trying to repair the Tab 3 device as hardware starts to fail. The combination 'power' with 'volume up/down' fails, then I guess it's game over.
