[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vats12:
Today, I was searching on the web for flashing the `system.img` on my Samsung S10 5G that has no fastboot mode and I found AROMA Installer and Flash Gordon. I have read more about them and found that Edify language is used to make some script that can be read by these tools and they perform their work. So, I got an idea that if I will write a script to flash my system.img file on system partition(with write_raw_image function of AROMA Installer) that I may be able to flash it. It seems feasible without root as OTA Updates are also works on the device.

Device that I am working on:

1. Samsung S10 5G.

2. No twrp available for this device.

3. It has unlocked bootloader.

4. No fastboot mode available.

5. Recovery has option of adb-sideload.

6. Download mode available.​

Previous Try to flash my `system.img` file with following software

Odin

I have a working ROM for my device. I can flash it with the help of Odin3 v3.13. The ROM has files in these formats: BL, AP, CP, CSC, UMS. As I want to modify and flash `system.img` so I tried to first extract and simply compress the AP file(which has system.img) but I failed to flash the compressed tar/tar.md5 file. The detail is on StackOverflow. As I was not able to flash the AP file(that was flashed fine before extraction and compression) so with modifying `system.img` file and then packing it in tar or tar.md5 seems not working.​

Heimdall

1. Compiled Heimdall v1.4.2 from the source code.

2. Configure it and run heimdall-frontend.

3. Device detected successfully.

4. Downloading pit file but got failure. The detail is on GITHUB​

This failure is possible on any device so I am looking for a consistent solution.

Please guide me on following things:

1. Is my assumption about AROMA Installer that it can flash only `system.img` via recovery mode is true?

2. Is it possible to make a simple update.zip file that can flash only `system.img` with `adb sideload` feature?

3. Any other tools or way with which I can do flashing of `system.img`?​

I will be very thankful to you for any kind of guidance :angel:.

There is an unofficial version of TWRP you should be able to use. It is the beyondx version for the 5g. You'll also want to read through this thread... At least the FAQ's

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vats12:
Indeed it helped to understand how the rooting method changed in recent Android devices. I think I can root the device this way but twrp is still not available so, the question is still same i.e. how to flash `system.img`. I have tried to make a `updater-script` like following:

format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("Format Completed");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_file("system.img", "/system");
unmount("/system");

but the problem is: I don't know where to get the correct `update-binary` that will work with this script and the stock adb sideload feature :rolleyes:. Do you have any idea on this?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealWelder:
The problem is going to be signature verification. Any option within stock recovery to update is going to require a zip with a verified Samsung signature. The only way is to find or build a recovery from source or if you are able to achieve root without it. Highly unlikely with all of the layers of security Android has now. The updater script can be edited or modified, but you'd have to download an OTA update and snag the updater binary and meta information to use in your own zip. If there is an OTA update that you can download, you may be in luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vats12:
Understood, but have one doubt i.e. which one should be signed:`update.zip` or the `update-binary`?

If only `update-binary` should be signed then there is a chance to get it from the OTA-updates. Otherwise the signature will be lost when I will try to get `update-binary` from the signed zip.

Am I right?

Hello,

After simply rebooting, the phone (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite) won't stop loading Android. It is stuck at the loading bar indefinitely.

It is stock, not modded or rooted, and it wasn't updating so it is very strange. I tried to wipe cache partition but it doesn't have this option.

Can you help me? I wanted to keep my pictures and apps if possible.

Thank you.

Hello everyone. i have a strange problem. my phone is completely dead. was working fine. can't turn it on, battery was replaced, nothing. when i plug in the charger a white light flashes and that's all. Tried to reset by unplugging battery, holding buttons, nothing. pc won't recognize it.

Finally i ended up shorting with a pair of tweezers the IP8 and BOOT dots on the board and connect it to the pc. it came up as Qualcom hs-usb QDLoader 9008 (COM).

The mi flash tool recognizes it as com 9 but can't flash.

I downloaded the stock rom, renamed as mprg. i get an error after 2 sec (reached end of file.)

Anyway. glass protectors for 7TPro are the same as for the 7Pro:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/accessories/oneplus-7-pro-screen-protectors-t3928686

Apart from the covers, the accessories are the same, so IMHO it's better to first check the OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories section:

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Daniele Paz:
Super easy install with absolutely no bubbles!

"This comes with two screen protectors, an install tool frame, a camera protector, and a carbon fiber skin for the back. I was hesitant when I saw the black frame on the screen protectors, but thought I'd give it a try.

Installation was easy. Do your typical wet towelette, clean it with the included lint free cloth, remove any extra dust with the included sticker. Then comes the easy part. I just put the install frame on, removed the backing from the screen protector to expose the adhesive and dropped it carefully into the frame. Lightly pressed all around and in the center (no squeegee needed) and that was it. No bubbles!

I immediately put the case on and you can see my ringke case isn't touching the screen protector at all. I opened the Play store to see if those black frames would block anything and I don't see a problem with it at all.

Of course the next thing to check was the fingerprint scanner. Just push thr screen some more around the fingerprint area to make sure the protector has fully stuck to the screen then it should be good. It worked with 3 of my 4 enrolled fingers and I had to re-enroll one. After that, all 4 worked.

The camera protector and carbon fiber skin were next and the camera protector was easy to put on. I had a slight difficult time aligning the skin properly but it was easy to peel while being installed.it was my first time installing a skin so I expected some difficulty,but got it on nicely.

Bottom line, for the price and what you get, I don't think anything can beat this."

I'm using this one currently, applied it last week and it works great. Installation wasn't too difficult either.

dont know but is this a full body protector? or have you a little space over just like the original?

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Lossyx:
It covers the whole screen, there's only a slight space on top (because of speaker). I'm using Karbon bumper case and I don't notice any space on the edges, pretty much feels I'm using the phone without a screen protector. Hopefully I answered your question.

Ordered 2 of those that come tomorrow. Hopefully, my install will be as good as yours... I've tried these LOCA installs and my very first one went fine without any issues.

Went with WhiteStone and it is flawless.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Crisisx1:
How is it applying the adhesive to the screen? That's what's holding me back.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] doesntmatterx:
it's actually not that hard just watch a couple of videos and then what I recommend is when you set everything up just do a mock-up of how you would tilt the contraption with your finger and make sure that things line up or your table is leveled. The next tip is once you get the the liquid onto the screen you can slightly move it around if it needs to go slightly up or down or to the middle before you actually start the actual process that way you can make sure the liquid will fall in the middle correctly.

In my case when I started the liquid didn't hit exactly in the middle and actually hit slightly above the middle before I let go of the PIN to drop it onto the screen so what I did is as it was opening and spreading out to the rest of the screen I actually tilted the phone towards the bottom so to make sure that it keeps spreading towards the bottom and that actually worked. other thing I did is make sure that I use tiny piece of Scotch tape to cover the headphone speakerphone on the top of the phone as well just in case.

I forgot to add after it cures make sure to reregister your finger print security scans again.

Hands down, Whitestone Domeglass. While they don't have one specifically for the OnePlus T Pro McLaren, the screen is identical to the 7 Pro. The back of the 7 pro is different, but the screen is the same. Not cheap but I use them exclusively.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] gravitywell:
What cases are you using with your Whitestone protector?

I just ordered my phine, going to get the Whitestone Dome , and want to find some cases that are compatible.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Mike02z:
It just came today. I've never had an issue with any of my phone cases with any of my phones using done glass. I expect the case that comes with the McLaren will work. I'll post after I install it tomorrow.

I just installed the Domeglass. It works fine with the McLaren case. Not lifting.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] doesntmatterx:
I still use the McLaren case cause it's still the best both in feel and aesthic.

I've tried a bunch of cases, poetic etc all the name brands but they take away too much from the overall feel. Either too bulky it bumpy or too thick.

Still haven't found one that is both sleek and doesn't take too much away. Still searching...

Btw none of them had a negative affect on the white dome.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Xetmes:
I think about this case: Spigen Liquid Air, but from other phones I know about problems with TSGP compatibility, now I've Whitestone Glass, any one have some experience with this eventual combo?

I am using Alinsea tempered glass screen protector:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07SM6M65M/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_YeDlEbPEVKMZH

A little bit tricky to apply, but fits perfect. Touchscreen feels absolutely amazing, very smooth and responsive.

btw I use it together with a Ringke Fusion case, great combination.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] orenxda:
Went for Alinsea one. Just took a few minutes more on preparation, as I carefully wrapped around all 4 screen edges with scotch blue 3M painters tape before every step. Happy I did as a lot of fluid glue leaked around. Removed it at the very end.

My device came with a preinstalled SP film, I guess that would be a warning to add in their guides as it was thin and barely noticeable.

All went fine, no problem with fingerprint sensor, touch is much smoother than with the og plastic film.

May have installed it a bit low as I aligned it to the bottom line of the screen (2mm under the bottom display line), but it still covers all the screen leaving less than 1 mm above the upper display line, should have reached closer to the speaker.

My mistake was wanting to install it with device off. I should have left it turned on, to be able to turn screen on, to really see and feel those display lines and center it better.

Using SUPCASE bumper, it touches the SP on the lower edge, but experienced no lifting atm. Will see how it turns.

Also, seen no thread about it in this section, but installed a 7H tempered lens protection and see no difference in picture quality.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Mike02z:
I hate screen protectors that only have adhesive around the edges. They typically cause halos and effect touch sensitivity. The Dome Glass is expensive and can crack after one fall but at least the screen does not crack. They have also been very good about replacing when damaged.

Will the White Dome work on a t-mobile 7t pro Mclaren. White dome says no but not sure.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I just tried the Whitestone install on my tmo 7t pro McLaren and it did not work. Instead of the adhesive sitting in the middle in a ball like on all the videos it immediately ran off the side a d onto the back of my phone. I thought I had a defective product. This is the first I'm hearing that it won't work with tmo McLaren. Does Whitestone say why it won't work?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] orenxda:
Your phone wasn't laid flat enough on a flat surface.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Mike02z:
Yes. That is what I have an worked perfectly. There are 2 things you must have with a Dome Glass install. Number 1 is the same for all protectors. You need a dust free area. Easiest way to do this is do the install in a bathroom with a shower. Turn it on full blast hot and once the room steams up, do the install. Number 2 is CRITICAL...you must install on a level surface. If you don't, it will run down the sides or move too fast. If the bubble of loca moves too fast, it will create air pockets that you can't get out. Luckily, all Domeglass comes with 2 bottles of loca. If you mess up, rinse the screen protector off, clean residual glue off the phone and try again.

Any tips for what looks like white lines under the glass?

I installed mine in Friday, did everything in the videos, everything was great. Two days later it's forming these little white lines under the screen all over the place.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Mike02z:
I had that happen on my Note 10 5G. Not sure why. I registered mine on the Whitestone site then requested a replacement. I got it about a week later. For me, it was visible around the curves of the screen and continued to spread. I suspect it's related to a curing issue.

I've had at least 10 different phones over 2 years and the Note 10 5G was the only one that had this problem.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] pd555:
Just had a look on Amazon UK for Whitestone Domeglass and it's £39.99 lol. Think I'll look for something else.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] butterbeanmash:
I have the G-Colour screen protector and in my view it is just as good as the Whitestone (which I used on my Pixel 2 XL) for a quarter of the price. I stuck masking tape along the sides of my phone which, alongside the provided stickers for the top and bottom, prevented any adhesive running anywhere on the phone.

It was easy to fit with excellent results.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Xpiatio:
I'm using the same screen protector but have the OtterBox McLaren case. Both fit good. Finger print scanner is hit or miss. Screen protector is very much a finger print magnet.

Hello,

After reading soooo much reviews, is there anyone who could advice either

* a tempered glass without full glue (no Alinsea, no Whitestone Dome) and without black border

* a TPU or Hydrogel film, a trully resistant one ?

For my first enquiry, i think it don't exist, but too much failure with these full glue cover, i don't want to give a try to these phone wasters. And i'm afraid the black border will juste reduce the borders visibility. So why buying a phone with curved sides if it's for covering them. But i don't know, maybe the graal exist, somewhere: a tempered glass, no full glue, no black border. I've been searching everywhere for 1 week, can't find one.

For the second enquiry, i've been looking for either LK films or Rinoshield, but can't say if they are really good.

The reviews are SO RANDOM. It's like you can find "it's totaly ****" and "it's awesome" in the same page.

So, does anyone have a true advice ? (no "you should buy Whistestone Dome" please, i don't want these full glue monsters).

I have tested diferent wm 6.1 versions with radio 1.57 and I am having some strange problems with communications (seventime lotus notes push mail) due problems with the radio and on the other side the symbol of the communication type Gprs (G, 3G, HSDPA) only appears times. I think is due the band selection. I have been trying to change from Auto to the other option but no way, time it words (symbol and comunication when on gprs) and times not.

I think is due rom-radio are not really designed for Europe networks.

Does anybody found a solution?

Anyone else having this issue? When I switch to the dark mode it's obvious the black level from one corner to the other is not the same.

OneUI uses dark grey on the Tab S and Note10... There are many, if not infinite variations of grey that approach black. I do art, so it's easy to notice that #000000 was substituted.

SD_black is black, OneUI simply has a dark mode. Also black cannot be uneven on OLED, because black refers to an off state.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Shocky2:
You're just splitting hairs.

Black can appear uneven on defective OLED displays. If you use a black saturation or black clipping test you can clearly see with the tablet or phone rotated one way that the bottom row is barely visible (which is normal), but rotate it another way and suddenly they're all clearly visible, they're only visible because that part of display is defective.

I have OneUI on my phone as well, there is no visible banding and black/gray levels (whatever you want to call them) are uniform. If you're seeing any variation then you got a bad display and you should get it replaced.

Replacement arrived today and it's even worse than the first one, instead of one corner it's right down the centre of the display.

Also found an easier way to highlight the issue, using the image tester select the burn in test and move all the sliders to the left, this should give you black. Then slowly move the green slider over, you'll notice some parts of the display become green when the rest remains black, at least up-to a certain point. Took the image below in good lighting.

The Amoled lottery. I had to go through many returns before I got a Tab S3 that didn't have unacceptable display uniformity and things don't seem to have improved a lot since then.

I guess that it's cheaper for Samsung to deal with the returns of customers who notice and care about this than simply having better quality control in the first place. Reviewers of course get cherry-picked samples so the quality of the display can be praised to high heaven.

Really makes me think twice about even considering upgrading though...
