There is another thread here , which talks about no sideloading in 7T TWRP.

You can push the sideload.zip to anywhere, but tmp directory will be the best place to push the file, you should do something like this:

adb push sideload.zip /tmp/

And then go to /tmp folder from twrp screen and install the zip

Thanks
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
Whenever you use the tool, always download the tool from OP , It will always point to the latest version
[Android General] problemathic:
because theres a different section on account regarding on followed projects.
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
You can only follow threads which are DevDB Projects, and this is not a DevDB project, this is just a normal thread, that's why you won't be able to follow it.

Thanks
[Android General] problemathic:
will this work also on spd devices bro?
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
Yes, it will hopefully work on any android phone :)

Just connect the phone in usb debugging mode and run the tool, it should hopefully detect and install the device specific drivers
[Android General] Orbitv:
So long time trying to download that drivers. Thank you master!

Hi, having some trouble unlocking the bootloader on my phone.

Oukitel C21

MT6771Q

Windows 10

Followed all steps including different methods in the past 9 pages of comments however i am still ending up with the same thing.

ADB works fine, but when it gets to the fastboot screen to use the command "fastboot devices" it doesn't recognise the device.

Upon initial use of your tool, the tool managed to boot the phone into the fastboot screen then installs the drivers then manages to command the phone to reboot from the fastboot screen, which indicates to me that your tool is managing to communicate with the phone's fastboot in order to reboot the phone, which would suggest that the correct driver was installed, so i don't understand why when i use cmd commands it doesn't recognise the device?

Confirmed that;

USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking are enabled.

Additionally Tried;

Using your tool whilst the phone is in the fastboot screen, the tool would complete however still no communication with the device.

Tried completely uninstalling the driver from device manager and retrying both installation methods - running tool normally and then running tool in fastboot.

Updated all windows updates then both installation methods.

Tried all different modes of USB configuration (charge only, file transfer etc)

Tried using different USB Ports

Tried different USB Cables

Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader without fastboot? the method i am using and have used for previous android devices are as follows;

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot oem unlock

I appreciate any feedback i get on this and am willing to try any suggestions.

Thanks in advance
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
@Bailzer If the phone reboots from fastboot during installation, that means everything was installed properly.

What happens when you connect your phone in fastboot mode to pc/laptop and run below command:

fastboot reboot

If it reboot back to OS, that means everything is setup perfectly.

Also note that every device has different method to unlock bootloader, it's not just easy as runnning fastboot oem unlock, for example here is my phones bootloader unlocking method:

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-bootloader-unlock-guide-for-realme-3.3999463/

Thanks
[Android General] Bailzer:
adb devices - it shows the device correctly.

adb reboot bootloader - the phone reboots into the bootloader screen which shows "FASTBOOT mode..." in the bottom left corner.

at this point, no command (adb or fastboot) gets any response from the phone, when i run command "fastboot reboot" at this stage it shows < waiting for device > infinitely.

I have unlocked older versions of oukitel android phones using your tool in the past, this is the first time i have encountered this problem unfortunately.
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
You might want to uninstall the fastboot drivers of device from device manager.

Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Open device manager

2. connect your phone in fastboot mode to pc

3. You will see connected device in device manager, expand it and right click -> click uninstall and check delete the driver software for this device and click ok

4. Now reconnect the phone to pc in fastboot mode

5. Run my tool, hopefully it will detect and install the right fastboot drivers for your phone

6. Now run your fastboot related commands

Thanks
[Android General] Bailzer:
I appreciate the recommendations, however i have already tried this, apologies i should have been more clear in my original post, i have already tried uninstalling the drivers via device manager with the phone plugged in as normal then reinstalling using your tool, and doing it all again but with the phone already in fastboot as you have suggested above (and i did it again just now, to be 100% sure). unfortunately i am still getting the same results, phone in fastboot mode with it not being detected or communicating with the fastboot cmd commands.
[Android General] fawazahmed0:
Can you try this command with your phone connected in fastboot mode:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\platform-tools\fastboot.exe" reboot

It should probably work, because my tool uses the above command to perform reboot from fastboot.

Also could you try a different pc & unlock the bootloader?, because it seems to be a PC/laptop issue and these issues are very hard to troubleshoot.

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lawnarjax:
First post.

Hi all. I have been tinkering with the tilt for a few weeks now and so far have found my answers on this forum pretty easily. I am running the ATT Tilt rom. I am on a data only plan, thru which I use slype. I have no voice plan. This leads to to want to disable the dialer, block the voice network access, or whatever I can do to make sure that this phone does not connect via the att voice net @ 45 cents a minute. Cant seem to find this little peice of info anywhere. thanks in advance for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jonasteddybear:
I'm guessing your best bet is just to remap the send button so it won't be able to dial if you press it not purposefully. Check the link below to see how it can be done (as the green "send" button doesn't appear in the "button" utility):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=356322&highlight=map+send+button

If you use the HTC homescreen, just remove all your favorite people and you won't risk dialing them out of an unexpected screen touch.

I assume you still want to be able to place a call occasionally otherwise you would not have gotten a Tilt...

Otherwise, I don't know how to only have 3G or Edge Data on without voice/phone function...have you checked the hermes or trinity forum sections?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] branko.savic:
I think that you can block outgoing calls in phone settings, I am sure I saw that somewhere when I was playing around with my phone settings!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lawnarjax:
Thanks for the suggestions. I use skype over the data network for my occasional calls. Works well enough to get me by with no voice plan. I will check the settings to see if I can block calls. I like the favorite people tool, but hate how it dials out if I tap the pic. Can I change the action there?

Hi xda forum

So as the question in the headline goes. If so, how and with which emulator?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I am not sure about your question. In fact, developers can create Andriod Virtual Devices(AVDs)in the AVD Manager on their PC in order to test or debug their Apps on them.
[General Questions and Answers] Trezoe:
The task is to run the OS of a Android phone on a PC. Maybe by creating a clone or disk image of the android, just like you can clone a Windows OS from one PC to another one where all files, settings, installed programs are intact.

Note that the first build is scheduled but not yet available for download. No need to worry though, the lineage-16.0 project is in nightly state so it should be up in a maximum of 24 hours.

Also note that the official builds are signed, so you are not able to just flash them over the current unofficial LineageOS 16.0 builds.

As you know I don't have Z3 myself and the possible maintainer was not able to test it yet.

Obviously not, it's compiled yesterday as the name says.

Yes, the same as in the unofficial version ;)

I'm having trouble making calls. With stock firmware everything was working fine and calls were possible in good audio quality.

With latest LOS, during device boot I hear some clicking noise from the device then during calls the microphone seems dead and the voice quality of the other party is pretty bad.

Also the call volume seems fixed to "very loud" and cannot be changed.

How can I help to debug?

Is there anything I could change?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
Thnx was wondering where it is
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] 115ek:
You definitely have got a fix. I can't see your problem. Your location is known with an error of 4 m. That's quite accurate.

How do you want to view your location? Browser? Google maps app?

Please consider the app you want to use MUST have the right permissions (in this case location access). Check that under settings->apps->YOUR_APP->permissions

It's most likely a permission / app problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] liberteus:
Just a quick you note to OP. Thanks for bringing new life to an "obsolete" phone that can still do pretty much anything any other phone can do today.

Truly appreciated, and believe me, it's not just techie stuff. People are emotional with their phones and so am I, and you brought some joy with your work.

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
No, the build is not broken. I tested it via OTA and via full clean flash, both worked. Try to flash the build manually or repeat the OTA.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
Somehow I can't seem to make OTA work -I start install it goes to TwRp and that's it ,should I need to do something in TWRP to make it work?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
No, it should install automatically. Are you sure that you are using the required TWRP? It sounds like your TWRP doesn't mount the misc partition.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] 115ek:
It's not your fault. It happens occasionally when the OTA is stored on specific memory addresses...

If they are "too high", a normal mmap() call is not sufficient and a mmap64() is needed instead.

I already had this issue on z1c and fixed it with this.

I'm in contact with [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION] and he just needs to build a new TWRP image for you. That should do it...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Build is done and attached to this post. [MENTION=9699281]pawloland[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5373093]Bore1[/MENTION] please test it with the upcoming OTA.

-- somehow rebooting into this TWRP build doesn't work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pawloland:
I will try it tomorrow and edit this post.

[EDIT 1]: Sorry, I didn't have time yesterday. Anyway here it is.

Right now I am on nightly from 10th of February.

Yes indeed I am using mirracast (as I even wrote before). I don't have any device which has chrome cast, so I am stick with older mirracast. I did a quick research and find that google silently removed mirracast from android probably because the wanted to increase number of sold chrome casts. It explains why the mirracast wasn't working as expected without hacks.

I would also add that fm radio is working like a frequency generator :).

I enable mirracast in settings under:

Connected devices -> Connection preferences -> Cast -> 3 dots in upper right corner -> Check 'Enable wireless display' -> connect to my windows laptop (which uses mirracast standard for streaming, not google cast). It is strange because the more times I try to connect to mirracast display, the more flawlessly it works. As of now my problem with wifi while using mirracast is gone :p. It is weird, but even if this option is available in official builds by your mistake, please don't remove it. It is somehow working very good after couple of sessions :D.

Before I try new twrp I must say that my issue with it started with official builds. I hadn't have any of those issues before. I also observed that after flashing stock using Emma -> flashing twrp from post #1, the problems are gone, until the first flash in twrp. After the first flash, the error with mounting storage is raised. I am not encrypted (I am not sure what encryption means in that context so: internal storage isn't encrypted but i have screen lock (pin code) on my device) and I don't have multiple users on my phone.

Now is the part about new twrp.

My zip for testing was nightly from 12th of February.

- OTA updates works now (but the signature verification must be turned off).

- Time and date only in twrp log is still wrong.

- I still have error with signature verification.

- The "Unable to mount storage" error persist. I am using magisk and I don't have sd card. Maybe it is the cause. Can someone confirm or deny having this issue with magisk installed or not having sd card or even with both of these conditions met?

I can acces internal storage after this error which is mounted in /sdcard. I don't have external sd card so the /external_sd mount point is empty. The /storage mount point is also empty but I don't know what is supposed to be mounted here. Logs from twrp are attached to post.

I found another issue with camera in Telegram X app, when we are in the conversation and try to take a picture.

-when the flash light is turned off, picture is taken correctly,

-when flash light is on auto or always turned on, the preview is cropped and the taken picture is bigger than the preview.

Tried it on different devices and it only works like this on my z3c.

I don't know how to describe it so I recorded it.
