[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] osos9696:
I have a faulty usb port, is it possible to flash the N950FXXS7DSH1 update using TWRP not ODIN it contains 5 tar.md5 files starts with BL and AP, CP HOME_CSC and CSC.

should i exract them and then rezip them? is there a way to flash this update anyway on twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
You would need to extract the images out of them and then make a flashing script. Does charging work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] osos9696:
Yes, it does very slowly but it does through pc only.

Is there a guide to follow creating that script? And is there a specific order i need to flash them in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
I have never made one, but I'm sure there is a guide somewhere.And you will need to enable flashing to bootloader in the twrp app. One wrong mistake though, will brick your phone. So it is very risky. Personally I wouldn't recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
I would say to just use your SD card.. Take it out and put it in another phone load your firmware onto it and then put it back into your other phone and boot into recovery mode and choose install from sd card..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
Tht won't work with a stock tar file or an update zip though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] osos9696:
I guess I'll have to fix the usb port first then use odin then.

[Sony Xperia M2] PoodleFarmer:
hi, This is my first post. No, i am not an Android developer. I just have a weird Xperia D2306 phone. I don't think it is an Aqua. Pretty sure it would die a sad death if I dropped it in some water. Bought it unlocked from a little store in a little town in Ontario Canada bout 4 years ago when my almost new Xperia Z (which was waterproof) got stuck between a jeep and a hard place when it was just into a 3 year contract. kept the Z on life support long enough to use the Sony PC Companion to migrate everything to the second hand M2.

The M2 has always been a little odd. the few apps i download don't seem to be fully functional, some apps crash after an update. I was speaking to my mobile network provider Tech Support a month ago, ands said I had a Blackberry. And I said it was a Sony Xperia. And he said the network sees it as a Blackberry model that neither he nor I have heard of.

I have always wondered about some weird things. kernel version 3.4.0-ge8817f718-dirty rdadmin@vBuild1VY58#1 which doesn't sound like something a SONY Engineer would write.

the IMEI doesn't calculate as valid with the Nuhn algorithm

The on screen IMEI and the embossed number on the tag match. Just the check digit doesn't check.

There is a plastic tab above the SIM slot that has embossed in gold - Prototype API

I tried the Repair Software option in Xperia Companion to see what would happen.

"No software found. Authentication failed. Software update or repair of prototype devices is only allowed from specific IP addresses."

And I live 50km from Waterloo. home of Blackberry. So i am thinking it escaped from the lab.

The first 6 digits of the IMEI seem to support that. If you can believe the internet.

So I was going to do a complete reset using Xperia Companion to go back to the stock ROM. But does that reset the kernel too? how much can it fix? Or would I be better to learn how to boot a nice stable ROM from here that has Android 5.0 or above. It is stuck now at 4.4.4 and won't update.

I have accessed the service menu and bootloader is unlocked.

It wasn't expensive, I have backed it up to the laptop and saved a lot to the SIM and microSD. data loss isn't an issue, but I would hate to brick it. It is a good phone, it isn't much broke right now.

Or does this device "as is" have value to someone who isn't me. i don't like destroying something out of ignorance. kernels, ROMS, etc from Blackberry developers for Android. Apr 12 2015 is the date on the kernel.

So my basic question is, if I hard reset it does it become a factory phone sold as a retail phone or a prototype brick. opinions?

Q2 - would I have better chance by learning show to use the tools to flash a stable custom ROM from here

Q3 - Anyone want to trade for another Xperia? :D

I can probably figure out how to upload screenshots if there is anything specific anyone wants to see that can help. Or i can key in what I see.

use the tool to unlock bootloader

then unplug and hold both volume and power buttons

the youll get into the locked bootloader

then use fastboot, i used platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows for the command
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Ok, I'll give it a try in a few days and report back, can't do it right now.

Sorry to ask, but what do you mean by "use the tool to unlock bootloader, then unplug"? You mean I use the edl tool with option 4? For that to detect my phone I already need to be in the bootloader by pressing power up and down, don't I? Why do I need to unplug in between uses? And only after using the EDL tool I connect it back to the Pc and try fastboot again, is the right? If I skip the edl tool fastboot wont be enabled?

If you hold them when youer plugged in youre in edl mode, when you hold them and your not plugged in you get into fastboot bootloader mode

A thanks, that explains a lot. So I hold the buttons without USB plugged in until I am in the fastboot mode and the plug my PC in and execute the command, right?

And I can online get into this fast bootloader mode if I habe used the edl tool before with the unlock bootloader function, right?

Just to be clear, the fastboot mode is the one where it has a big text on the top and you can change options by pressing the volume keys, right?

So a few things: Unfortunate, a few of the links in that threat are no longer usable as it seems.

I suggest watching all the videos that are still up carefully. But this should be the most important one https://disk.yandex.ru/i/snjYdcJjUjnQrA

I downloaded this https://www.android-hilfe.de/attach...772573/?hash=b382f53cddacc1554c48845b48de795b

edl tool, the creator of it dimkim posted that a few messages down.

When I tried using the normal edl tool v3.2.5 https://xdaforums.com/t/axon-10-pro-non-5g-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-bootloader-unlock.3964605/ I also got sparse image error. You have to flash it with the Russian tool by following the instructions in the video.

Another note: I am not sure but I think you should NOT use option 1 "flash" with the Russian tool in the main menu. You are supposed to use option 3 "restore backup". But just watch the video I linked (and all the others) and look closely at what he is explaining with his mouse pointer.

Another 2 questions:

Are you using android 10 or 9? Is there any way you know to downgrade to android 9?

Some threads say the bootloader unlock option of the edl tool bootloops the device and what is exactly that I experienced. I did nothing else than just using (the english v3.2.5) edl tool with option 4 and I got into a bootloop, though was then able to restore my backup with the edl tool and get it to boot again. Did this also happen to you, too? Afterwards I tried flashing the russian MOD RC 1.2 with the russian tool which worked great, but after rebooting I got "device is corupted" message, so I went back to the normal edl tool and restored my backup once again. This is there I am now.

This means the "unlock bootloader" function of the edl tool is a bit broken right?

If you had this problem, did using fastboot to REALLY unlock the bootloader make the bootloop disappear?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gfrtill:
With the unlocked bootloader I could finally flash what i want. I recommend: Unlock bootloader, then flash 1.6 full edl with the normal edl tool (phone in edl mode as i described). That will make the bootloop go away and set you on android 9 + ota updates are still available.

Thanks to you, I also got root working! I used the russian mod, deleted all the b versions and renamed all _a ones to the name without the _a. Then I copied the files from the 1.6 version into the folder, selecting to skip the ones that are already there. Then, I put all of those files into the flash full folder of the normal edl tool and it worked like a treat. To get su then i installed the older version of magisk, just google magisk 20 apk. Then, ro get play store, launch play store, but if you log in youll get a black screen (same if you do a factory reset at the end of the setup, then just reboot). To sign in, tap on the three dots and update all aps, including carrier services and web view. Then you can log in and everything should work fine with root enabled. Sadly I wasnt able to just root the normal rom with either a patched boot or the zip or get gapps installed on lineage. Lineage always started, booted for some time, then restarted and sometimes asked to reset, which didnt help either. If you find something out regarding that, please let me know. However, thank you for the tip and the mod! Also thanks to the russian dev 👍🏻

Glad you had success! I will try this out tomorrow and see if I also will be able to get root access
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Sadly, I couldn't do it. Here's my story:

I powered down, plugged in usb and pressed power and volume down to get into a screen that says "factory test mode". From there the normal EDL tool could detect my phone so I ran option 4 "unlock bootoader" with succes. So far, everything good. Strange thing is, after finishing with the EDl tool my phone was NOT bootlooped like the last time I did this. So I tried powering down and powering back up with both volume keys pressed but it just booted normally. No fastboot. Tried this several times, still no fastboot, just normal boot. Even tried "adb reboot bootloader" but just got a normal boot again.

Then I figured maybe the bootloader is properly unlocked this time but no, after flashing the combined base 1.6 and MOD Rc 1.2 packages as you described (which worked without any sparse image error thank you) i again got "device is corrupt" bootloader locked error message :-(

What am I doing wrong? I was able to get into fastboot on Saturday but now not anymore?

Please help me if you can

EDIT: I tried everything again. Now I got the bootloop again and was able to get into the fastboot screen. Then I connected to the Pc and fastboot devices finally showed something, but it says: Failed: Flashing unlock is not allowed

EDIT2: Ok it might be my fault. Maybe I did not enabled OEM bootloader unlocking. Will try again soon

EDIT 3: Thank you soooo muc I dit it!!!! I booted into TWRP!!!! I will write a manual soon so other and post it here and on the german forum (I am native german) so other users wont have to go through all this mess!
