[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Lazer_Lemon:
I have a N950U device and I was trying to get twrp on it, though when I did it I went into the stock recovery mode and tried doing it through "Install updates through SD Card".

It didn't work (obviously) and now I keep getting the dm-verity verification failed, also I can't adb sideload or install through SD anymore.

I tried getting twrp through odin but I keep getting "SECURE CHECK FAIL: RECOVERY"

I tried re installing the stock rom through odin but I keep getting "SE REV CHECK FAIL: [abl]Fused 6 Binary 4"

Before the bootloop started happening I wasn't able to unlock the bootloader, though I got usb debugging enabled. If there is a fix to this please let me know, I've looked everywhere and I can't find an answer. Thanks

EDIT: I flashed the AP from the stock image and it worked. Not sure why, but it's working fine now.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] letthebeatrock:
I know i know the G710TM cant be bootloader unlocked, but i can take one of the other variants thats GSM unlocked and bring it to Tmob, so which one is best for compatibility? Specifically looking for 4G LTE and mobile Hotspot to be working correctly. Is this possible, or should i stick with H932 (V30) and root that instead?

thanks in advance
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Heizi Blt:
idk but LMG710TM definitely can't root
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] letthebeatrock:
not looking to root TM, I know this already.

I decided to get ULM and get a remote unlock. I dont see as much development with the G7 as I did with the V30 which is sad.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] brigantti:
You are right the deveploment for the lg g7 here on xda is pretty much dead.

You can also get a sprint variant really cheap on ebay

Thats what i did now is rooted on pie ulm but theres nothing else to do since the deveploment is dead.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] letthebeatrock:
Gah. you just sealed it. I'm glad that I didn't make the purchase as of yet. But my suspicions it looks like I was correct. I was debating either upgrading all the way to v40 but it looks like development hasn't gone very far either. though I would like the five camera setup and the portrait mode of the two front facing cameras I don't know if it is worth it as having root plus access custom roms is what I'm really looking for. It looks like development for the v30 is where I need to be. Plus I have all the tools necessary to root it. I've actually rooted it before but the phone was stolen for me

Can it really be that a two-year-old smartphone is really the best bet? I can buy 2 v30s for the price of one v40

I don't get it. What is the question? Better yet, when did the development subforum no longer carry the mantra "ZIP or GTFO"? (edit: Nah that's still valid, this thread should be in Q&A or General)

I am hoping this thread is not about how to start. Considering the vast wealth of knowledge this site has, not finding things like "how to set up a build environment" is akin to dying of starvation at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I remember answering the same question you asked last week (down to the ryzen flex). But I will answer again:

* It takes effort since there isn't a silver bullet to turn the exact process to a one-page recipe (especially for devices that require blobs to be of any use). It is about putting several skills together.

* Hardware performance is nice to allow quick turnaround for trial and error, but it is low priority compared to your other prerequisites. Equipment almost a decade old can still be better than tolerable - I maintain a half hour build time for lux (oreo) on a system built in 2010.

[Nook Touch General] Pajamaman:
I have a bricked NGL 3 with a perfect screen, and a non-bricked NGL 3 with a very slightly defective screen. I toying with the idea of removing the perfect screen from the bricked NGL 3, and putting it in the non-bricked NGL 3.

I watched a video on how to do it with a Kindle. It seems simple enough. Open it up, remove screws from mboard, unclip or unplug any connectors, pull out mobo, pull out screen, insert new screen, then put everything back.

I'm a little uncertain how to remove the plugs and ribbon cables. I don't want to force anything when it's not meant to be.

I've attached an image with the plugs ringed in red. Any advice on how to undo and refasten the plugs, and any other advice would be appreciated. I guess I don't have to undo all the plugs.

The image tag doesn't see to work, so here's the link to it.

https://ibb.co/Wy6S3xm

and another in case that doesn't work.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
All the flex printed circuit (FPC) connectors have a little flip-up retainer on the far side.

You just need to slip a fingernail under it to pry it up.

When reinserting, make sure that the FPC is inserted fully.

That's what the little white line is for.

Then push down the retainer.

The battery connector in white is a bit the same, you just have to pry the far side up gently.

When reinserting, mate the near side, then push down.

If you are swapping displays, the optimal solution is to adjust the Vcom voltage (which might be different).

Look at the little tag, it says something like -2.25.

Don't worry, it's not a biggie, you can do it later.

Hey,

This is a neat thing to see for the Onn tablets. I have a question though. I own a device based on the mt8163, and am trying to help people with another device I don't own (the powkiddy x18 which also uses the mt8163). One of the things I wanted to do was to make a custom rom for the x18, since it's stock firmware is horrible. And of course, one of the first steps to custom roms is twrp. So I have a question for you that I hope you can answer for me. How did you make this build of twrp? I have seen no device trees for this device so I was kinda curious. If you can help me in any way, I'd be so grateful, and I'm sure the other people with the x18 would be grateful for help.

Is there a different procedure for installing TWRP on a locked bootloader?

I can confirm that using SP Flash to load your TWRP.img will produce a bootloop when installing to a device with the BL locked. Reflashing the original recovery.img makes the problem go away. You mentioned in the OP that this TWRP will work on a locked BL so I thought I would share my case study with you in following the procedure you defined.

MY SINCERE GRATITUDE FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN PORTING THIS TO THE ONN!
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
You're welcome, [MENTION=8728183]Spatry[/MENTION].... Can you describe how you ended up with a locked BL? Was it unlocked before? Have you ever tweaked vbmeta? Also, when you say bootloop, do you mean for Android or just for recovery? I'm not going to insist that it works under locked BL. I tested it once and it did boot up...
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Spatry:
Presently, I am running stock with Magisk patched BOOT on locked bootloader, stock vbmeta. The boot loop was at the ONN Android screen, I could not get it to even boot into recovery.

At one time I did run with the bootloader unlocked (with --disable-verification on stock vbmeta) and I ran Phusson's AOSP, Liquid Remix and Bliss. I found there was no benefit to me in running the other mods so I reverted back to stock courtesy of [MENTION=9936108]CaffeinePizza[/MENTION] and the bootloader re-locked to get rid of that annoying 5 second orange state.

In each instance, I always used SP Flash tools to load all .img files. I only used fastboot to install magisk_patched.img onto the stock installation. Unlocking the bootloader erases all data and I did not feel like reinstalling everything again, so I figured I would try to install TWRP per your instruction to see if it would work while the BL was still locked... Restoring the original recovery got rid of the bootloop. I do want to try your TWRP so I will try it with BL unlocked when I get some free time to do so.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
This sounds like you might have flashed a wrong/corrupt image to recovery. It may have to do with AVB checks rather than bootloader lock. But those conditions might be interdependent somehow so I can't tell you for sure. The fact that you are able to boot a patched image on a locked BL says it doesn't care too much about verification. I can tell you for sure that any recovery image must have avb metadata, not necessarily the required hash, for both Android and recovery to boot. Can you try to unzip the image file and flash it over again?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] blakegriplingph:
Hmm, the situation with the bootloader lock sounds eerily similar to the Nabi SE. The latter also had a similar implementation where there's not much in the way of locking things down, other than an (easily circumvented) SP Flash Tool signature check and different preloader keys. And here's the real kicker: the nearly-identical Fisher Price Nabi also ran on the MT8163, so it makes me wonder if it's possible to boot Pie on it, or perhaps a GSI assuming that Treble can be tacked onto it.

Also, do you have the source repo to this TWRP port of yours?

Is twrp for this device treble enabled?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I just opened one in a kitchen to check and build.prop says 'ro.treble.enabled=false'. I don't know if that is editable or not. Well, anything can be edited but don't know if that would make it so. What is the difference in treble enabled recovery compared to regular recovery ?

edit: from what I just read treble enabled is ability to flash vendor.img and treble enabled in build.prop which this twrp does and build.prop can be edited rather easily.

https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...s/difference-treble-twrp-normal-twrp-t3897039
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
The ability to flash a generic system image. On a device that is treble enabled you can pretty much flash any generic system image to it for almost any version of Android so long as the option stays activated throughout the device's system history. I have been trying to flash a custom rom via a generic system image for a few days and I've been able to get as far as the device boots, the startup menu appears but just hangs at an opening logo and never does anything. I still have a few more things I need to try as I think I may have done a couple of things wrong, because the instructions vary from device device but ever so slightly But if I can get this to work then there'll be several, maybe a dozen or more, custom roms almost immediately available for this device from Oreo to Android 11. I'm very close. I've gotten the device to boot all the way to the system without being able to access the setup wizard so I already know it can work I just have to figure out what I'm doing wrong for nothing to start up past opening animation to the setup wizard.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Are you trying to flash Pie or Q ? From what I've seen the 10 gsi's are too big for the most part. 9 gsi's go no problem for most of them anyway. I had a few that wouldn't boot and a few that just ran like crap. I am still using Beast ROM on my 8". What or who's GSI are you trying to flash ? Most of phhussons work LiquidRemix and Beast both work really well. To use anything above android 9 with GApps will take resizing partitions I believe. If you open an OTA for this device you will see that re-partitioning is kind of common. The last one I looked at changed size of three partitions in one update. Before TWRP was released the recovery partition had to be resized with SPFT by using a scatter that diplomatic made just for that purpose. It may be that to use higher versions of android reliably and consistently that something along those lines may be needed. Biggest disadvantage is no one is building for the device. I wrote before about custom gsi's being what is happening with developers building for their device. The only real gsi's are the bone stock a.o.s.p. versions and they still vary.

If you're having trouble flashing Pie gsi I can probably walk thru it with you and we can figure it out.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
[MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION], [MENTION=8491352]tek3195[/MENTION]: The ro.treble.enabled can be set by adding "PRODUCT_SHIPPING_API_LEVEL := 28" to the device model mk file in the source code. But I don't think it actually does much unless some installer checks for it. As far as TWRP's functionality goes, it's already aware of Treble based on various vndk variables.

BTW, if someone wants to develop and post their own TWRP based on my source code, by all means go for it. I don't mind at all. I'm not actively working on it and I'd be glad if it happens.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I've been thinking about that. If nothing else it would keep it up to date, think last I built was 3.4.0. I was wanting to build SHRP for it since building TWRP is now possible for me. New PC and my first attempt surprised me and built an actual working recovery.img. It's probably not going to be possible to shrink it by about 2 MB though is it ? SHRP adds to it and from what I remember there has been a lot of work done to get it down to current size. I'll clear my plate a bit then get up with you.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
Got it to boot. Just got Bliss ROM to boot and about to try it out. It's a pain to get things like verity and encryption disabled or what not on this thing, as that's what I am sure was stopping the full installation. Could not get the Pixel Experience to boot, just hangs at the opening 'G'. Will play with this ROM tonight, and report back tomorrow.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
Also, on my ONN, treble was enabled on stock. I have been using the may 2019 firmware.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Cool, glad you got it.

Had a thought of something you may want to know as it can save a lot headaches. Most of the gsi's that worked ALL had problems changing system theme. They mostly work but are reeeaaaallly slow. If you try changing theme make your selection once and give it up to five mintes to work. Don't get impatient and hit the button again or the tablet will freeze up to varying degrees of difficulty to restore.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
Thanks for the warning. I actually wish they didn't have so much theming stuff going on.it seems like that's part of a problem as to why a lot of the system images do not work. There just simply isn't enough space left on system partition in order to flash a standard form of gapps. And individually and stalling the Google play apks unfortunately does not seem to work. I have even tried flashing a package of GO gapps which seems to work but again does not allow for access to sign in. Though the proper apks install they refuse to bring up sign in services when initiated. So with that said out of the couple of dozen GSIs available, I have only been able to get about three of them to fully boot and work without complications of some sort.there are several others that I can get to boot, but they only hang at the boot animation and never do anything except sit there. I have tried adding the stage fright build prop tweak and it is only worked on one of them. But the ROM was particularly terrible.

A couple of things to note to save some trouble and aggravation. Dm-verity and verification must be disabled or you're going to have a hell of a time getting anything to work. Device encryption should also be removed if possible as that poses problems with TWRPand sometimes may not allow you to modify the system partition. Also it's a good idea to make sure selinux is permissive.

One last thing I have owned three of these types of tablets. One 8in and two 7in.I have never come across any tablets cell phones or other mobile devices that had such a horribly and cheaply built SD card slot. On every single one of these tablets I have broken the crap out of it with barely pushing a card in.that is a real buzz killer with these devices. when it comes to hardware like that why on Earth would you make the entire thing out of plastic? It's like they did it on purpose so if it broke you would go back to exchange it for a better device and pay more money. I see no other reasonable explanation for something stupid such as that.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Liquid Remix and BEAST were the best two for me and mine. Super glue, magnifying glass, helping hands and a paper match worked well for card reader repair. I used the torn end of the match as an applicator of sorts. Also have to be sure not to try opening tablet with card in slot. Even if you catch it before it breaks sd card it can still split side of reader housing. You won't notice it at that point, but it will get worse.

Thinking about trying to build a gsi tweaked for this tablet. Just don't want to start something not worth starting. Maybe the experience alone would be worth it.
