After newest LineageOS update my Lenovo bricked, I was able to install TWRP but installing any OS did not result in device booting at all, on PC I saw Lenovo as empty 32 gb drive that I could copy on too files.

I tried installing trough lenovo downloader system but it failed after like an hour. For fw minutes my device was only in mode with blinking red light. but blank flash helped.

Now I'm at a loss, i have latest TWRP, and nothing that I install seems to have any impact after sideloading or installing from zip system there is no system.

Tried recovering from TWRP backup I had but it do not show any partitions to restore.

latest lineage os is broken for p2

lineage-17.1-20201025 works like a charm

Hi, my bluetooth is dead : no device are seen, my phone is not visible, and I cannot connect to previously paired devices.

I tried wiping all storage from bluetooth app.

I did a full wipe and switched rom (from Resurection Remix with blaze kernel to Pixel Experience which contains another kernel)

The problem remains.

Should I try flashing this or it has nothing to do with bluetooth ?

Else what should I try next ? Flash back a stock Nougat or Marshmallow rom and see if problem is still present ?

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] theblackkey:
Hello,

I have refurbished unlocked Note 8 and recently when checking for updates realised it hasn't received any security updates since Sept 2018 but says it's up to date. When further investigating with Phone Info app it showed following message on Refurbishment check: It looks like the firmware has been modified. Your phone doesn't have active CSC code, CSC version and CSC country.

When searched the imei number it says it's been made in India, I live in Europe. Do you have any advice what can I do? I read I could flash stock firmware but how do I find the right one? Should I do it for the country I live in or the one phone has been manufactured for? I haven't done anything like this and I don't want to brik my phone. Any help is much appreciated :)

Hi guys!

First, I would like to thank you all for your work. This forum is really awesome, I like a lot even if I am just a lurker :)

I have a very nasty issue with my new unbranded Tytn II. Sometimes (well, quite often..let's say twice a day), the phone module doesn't work anymore; I get a message as the signal was missing or too low. There is NO WAY to make a call in this situation; i tried to close every programs, to switch off the phone, but nothing. If I try to call myself, the phone rings and after it everything is ok. Otherwise, I need to perform a soft reset to let my phone work again.

Any idea?

Tytn II unbranded

Radio 1.27.12.32

I hope my english is understandable

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Candanga:
I don't know about warranties :p , if it voids it u can always give ur SP a call to see what are your options.

Remember, u can also roll-back to the previous Radio Versions. U have two options here, test by yourself and find out which is the best ROM/RADIO for ur phone or complain about it with your service provider (SP) and prolly get a new phone (if still available) or waste time/gas/money and still have the problem.

I would go first trying to find a solution myself (thats me), but if you don't feel so sure about it, call ur SP :p

Best of luck!

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] zuuus:
After upgrading to Android Q I have noticed a new set of options under Developer Settings called "Game Driver Preferences".

Did a bit of Googling and it's something to do with Android's new ANGLE driver but Asus seems to have renamed the options to "Game Driver", "Pre-Release Driver", and "System Graphics Driver". Did some more Googling and couldn't find information on what the differences are and if there are any benefits to changing these.

Just curious if anyone has any idea of the differences and which one actually enables this new ANGLE feature?

You should post your question rather on ZenTalk forum, where you can get the answer directly from Asus developers, provided by local Asus moderators.

Also, again, sorry for the loss of your unlocking code. There are already rumors that Emui 10 removed the unlock command in adb?

I mean, i am not a big fan of oneplus. Maybe xiaomi is better since their community is much stronger now (from what i've seen). But you will have to deal with a lot of indians sadly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
I am also bored with Hw but Oneplus has its own issues. (quality check is the biggest one imo) Not sure why yt reviewers chose not to inform about its flaws and focus exclusively on its advantages. I returned my 7t a month ago due to display green tint. Sure it is blazingly fast, imo smoother than ios, devs friendly, eazy to fall in love with but but but.... I've never had to deal with that many bugs on my p20 pro. Morover it's not a cheap device either.

I was going to give 7t pro a shot but then i read a review on xda i decided to wait. Strongly recommend it.

The other downside of op is its service.

Anyway we'll see what black friday brings, maybe i'll chose 7 pro if the price falls instead as 7t release seems to be rushed and marred with shortcomings.

For me android even without root possibility is still much better option than ios. I used it for over a year and gave it to my wife eventually. Not my cup of tea.

If i was younger i would go for op (i mean i really hope they iron out all the bugs and hw flaws in close future) but when you have kids you think about sth more stable with strong camera dep,.so you gotta get two handsets: one for fun like op :) ) and one stable all rounder like galaxy s locked with knox, stable but not much of fun ;)).

Pixel is a no go for me, it's overpriced compromise.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
You forgot to mention Huawei's main competitor, Samsung. Most their current devices in the free world are bootloader unlockable.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
[MENTION=5469644]Limeybastard[/MENTION] lol you're right, but I wouldn't buy exynos again, although some of my favourite developers are still buying Sammy..

Sony have always allowed it, LG, Motorola (I think) Asus, Xiaomi.

I think our choices are ok.

[MENTION=9133856]The Restless Soul[/MENTION]

AFAIK, the bootloader locking down is an OEM choice, I'm sure Google could lock things down but I really can't see them going down that road, so many companies use custom operating systems, system testers use Kali, you won't be able to use things like that if you can't go custom ROM.

I believe things will stick, can't see other companies going down the Huawei route.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Why limit yourself to those two phones?

OnePlus and Google definitely, 100% have the best two phones out there that money can buy..

Not apple and not Huawei.

With the correct custom ROM, correct firmware and correct procedures followed in the right order, Samsung's can be perfect, eg: my old i9300 Samsung S3 is still working today with a custom ROM on it :D

I had an S5 (epic phone) and a note 4, but the note 4 was the last nail in the coffin, I hated it..

If they'd switch to the Snapdragon processors again I would seriously contemplate going back to them.. the Mali GPU (in the Huawei and in Samsung's) are seriously weak compared to the adreno GPU from SD, not only that but the apple GPU i think would struggle if it had to compete with the newest SD, not on. iOS but if it was running Android.. I think it would be awful.

Apple's performance comes from having a closed loop of hardware and software, tiny variant in the above mentioned can only mean high optimization. Android has a lot more, hence the need for more power.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Unlocked a bootloader on a mi5 for a friend in my old job, we had to wait 15 days for it to unlock ( a limitation set by Xiaomi) not a deal breaker but you can see them toying with bootloader locking.

Lol@indians, that would be crap
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
[MENTION=5179086]forever_lol[/MENTION] I have to say, the OnePlus 5 I had was superb, not a single issue and my friend who I have it to is still using it to this day..I think they really got the sweet spot with that one, besides the lack of OIS on their camera.

RMA takes 5 days in the UK, was seamless.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
The snapdragon hong Kong variant is also bootloader unlocked.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea the US always gets the SD , never the UK / EU

That's a deal breaker for me, the only reason I accepted the crappy Mali in the p20 pro was the camera, and it is a good one no doubt about it.. I've done some crackers with it.

But then the argument would be that OnePlus has caught up in that dept and Samsung certainly was already.

Huaweis done to me, im sure non tech users will still buy them but emui will always be a dog turd
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
My point was that you were saying you didn't want a "crappy" exynos version, since those are the ones that can be bootloader unlocked. The hong Kong snapdragon model can also be bootloader unlocked , unlike the American version.

Huawei's subreddit group is smaller than just one modelof Samsung's subreddit group. Reflection of popularity. Same can be said about XDA forums as well.if comparing.

The only reason i want to go to apple rn is because of their OS.

Got tired of Android to the point where i can give up on few things just for the perfect non-stressfull OS updates and/or OEM bull**** problem like the Trade War of Huawei's and the underpowered Exynos that Samsung uses. Oneplus, yeah their phones are great, but there is no service center here, nor for xiaomi, so it is a dead end for me. LG,nope, waste of time. There are also other good manufacturers but they are barely sold here.

Don't hate me for my decision, but i want to be happy with my purchase and NOT to be included in some OEM problems that i never, nor the other buyers, had any blame to be stuck in the same hole.

Apple is slowly recovering and hopefully, they drop the bull**** that they kept doing since the iphone 7.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
I was also considering getting s 10 plus (g9750) on ebay. Problem with sd variant is that authorised service centers in Europe won't repair these handsets in case of any hardware issue. Otherwise it would be great option indeed.

Yep. That's the price / risk when importing or buying grey market.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oziriss:
I am pretty sure pixel-binding is no longer available to our p20pro-s. There is absolutely no difference anymore between 10mp and 40mp photos and not for the better reason. Also night-mode got terrible on CLT-L29 (C432) with the 9.x. versions. Tried factory reset with selecting different regions, for conspiracy theories, from US to Bulgaria - same thing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No I never said that pal, I wouldn't buy exynos because of their lackluster performance, specifically in high end emulation (gaming) and because historically developers have shied away from that chipset, nothing to do with the bootloader and yes they are 100% crappy chipsets, they've got better but they aren't in the same league as SD, especially the GPU.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I couldn't do it mate.

Local music, 3rd party movie players (cat mouse, mobdro, Kodi)

Not to mention apks for modded apps like whstapp plus (which has a dark mode already)

Dear XDA,

Used TWRP:

Installed latest Lineage OS 16.0 of November 20, 2019 with formatting internals and wiping system, vendor, dalvik and cache.

Installed lastest Magisk v20.1 from GitHub page

Booted ROM and installed "MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk" from above link

As the result:

MagiskManager shows everything green

No root prompt in any application and Root Checker shows that root is not installed.

Already have tried:

Disabling power optimization entry for MagiskManager

Reinstall Magisk using MagiskManager

What might be the reason of no prompt issue?

Why not AddonSU: this addon disables some applications to use such as Bank or GooglePay which are important here.

Why not SuperSU: is it worth to tell why?

Thank you very much for any working suggestion.
