By all means, read [MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] 's FAQ if you are starting out. even as a refresher for stuff you may have forgotten.

-But do think a bit about what you are doing:

-Do not modify your phone unless you are willing to toss it into the trash, as that could well be the result, no matter how well planned.

-Always have a spare on hand. I used my old Moto G3 when my MZP died suddenly. Worked just fine. You know, things really haven't changed all that much since Gingerbread...

-If you are going to be getting the latest OTA stuff by doing a full flash you might want to reflect on just how much, or little, you would gain. We all like to think that if we have the latest security patch we are somehow more safe, though I don't believe I have ever heard of a phone being affected by something just because it is not on the latest patch. I was running my old Moto z play on an aug '18 (if I remember correctly) patch with no problems up until a few weeks ago when it was done in by an expanding battery envelope which cracked the display. Consider, also, that many of the custom roms that are available are not updated at all - it takes a ton of work to try to get/keep a custom ROM current, AND working! Yet you never hear of viruses or the like.

- Be aware that if you modify ANYTHING on your phone, even as little as a new boot logo to cover up the unlocked bootloader message, you will prevent your phone from taking any further OTA updates. Some mods, like adding TWRP, may still allow it to try to download and install an OTA, but when it reboots to finish that install, it will fail since it needs to re-boot through stock recovery to complete. And it will continue offering you that update.

- There is a difference between the partition structure in our phones on 8.x, and those on 9. 9 is not full Treble, only a "partial" Treble, and really only the addition of a second set of partitions which OTA updates can use to update the system - instead of modifying the single partition set, it modifies the other (a or b) set and boots to that on update completion. If it fails it can always boot the other set. Theoretically! Makes it safer than the old way of doing OTA updates, but this may cause problems if you try to flash a 2 partition set phone with a single partition set ROM. I don't believe anyone has run any experiments on this, so YOU, when you flash things without thinking about the situation, may get an unusable phone. I do not know the answer here. If you read these forums which detail other's problems, you may trod a bit more hesitantly! :)

-The idea here is to have fun, and sometimes to experiment with new things. To a newbie, losing the use of a $200 phone can be a tough life lesson. Let's help them out by helping them to be cautious! :)
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] SR3TLAW:
Agreed. I've been running stock with January 2018 patch, TWRP installed and Magisk for root and successful safety net bypass.

I'm looking to see if running Lineage will help streamline any update processes. It looks like they have their own recovery too.

Maintaining root has become a pain in my ass the past few years.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
I would be careful about lineage as folks don't seem to be able to get back to stock from it.

I agree about maintaining root. I will likely just stay on stock with this one.

Hi guys

I need you help expertise once again.

Sorry If this is a dupe thread, I've without success tried to find a similar issue in the forum,therefore here is my issue:

My HTC home plugin does not appear , I've tried diferent configuration without any success, am I missing something ?

I'm using HTC 2.1.

look forward your reply

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] l3v5y:
First, try hiding the ExtROM (only if it is unhidden...) and restart.

Next, try disabling HTC Home, restarting, and enabling it again.

Finally, try a hard reset/ROM flash.

If you installed it as a cab, you could try uninstalling it, restarting, re-installing it, restarting and then activating it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] skorpien:
Hey folks. I'm hitting a brick wall trying to figure out this issue and I'm hoping someone will know how to fix this.

I have a Galaxy Tab A 8 (SM-T350) that I rooted and successfully flashed with first crDroid, then Lineage (both Android 9.0) using TWRP. I had made a backup before attempting this just in case I wanted to revert to stock.

Well, that didn't go as smoothly as I was hoping. Ever since trying to restore my backup, I've been stuck on a continuous boot loop that I can't seem to fix.

I keep getting "E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" and "dm-verity verification failed. . ." no matter what I try. I've googled the error and tried every solution suggested but I still can't get it to boot.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Ignore the EFS error its probably a red herring. Your issue is dm-verity.

3 ways around it. Return to complete stock, including wiping the data partition or flash root (magisk suggested) or disable dmverity using one of the zips out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] skorpien:
Thanks for the reply ashyx.

I've done two of the three things you suggested. I've tried returning it to stock using an image matching my exact model, and I've tried disabling dmverity. I've also tried rooting it but using a method other than magisk.

The flash seems to go well enough, but then I get stuck at the Samsung logo whenever I try rebooting into the system.

I've tried waiting, thinking I'm just being impatient, but it doesn't ever seem to get past the logo. I've tried googling ways to fix it being stuck on the logo but nothing I do seems to work. Is there any other way around it?

Side note: I've been able to flash Lineage OS again and might just have to stick with that if I can't flash it back to stock. Do you know any resources for replacing the default apps? I've tried GApps but I was wondering if there's a similar Samsung installer?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You need to wipe the data partition, aka factory reset before or after installing the stock firmware then it will take anything up to 15 mins to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] skorpien:
I've tried leaving it for a few hours in hopes that it would boot, but unfortunately it stays stuck on the logo.

Is there a way to check where or why it's getting hung up?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Did you back up the efs partition with twrp?

If so try restoring it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] skorpien:
I did and I have been restoring it.

So far, this is what I've attempted:

Flash TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t350_18317.tar using Odin3 v3.10)

Reboot into recovery

Wipe everything from tablet

Format tablet

Reboot into download mode

Flash stock image with Odin

Reboot into recovery

Wipe dalvik cache

Restore backup (including efs partition)

Wipe dalvik cache (again)

Reboot

Get stuck on Samsung logo (left it for hours with no change)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Don't restore everything just EFS No need to keep wiping dalvik it serves no purpose when formatting or wiping the data partition.

Also FORMAT not wipe the data partition (note this wipes internal storage)

If it still doesn't boot install the combo firmware. Let it boot, factory reset from settings then reboot to download mode and install the stock firmware again.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Tubby Custard:
I want to flash a boot.img to Xiaomi 6, but fastboot does not work anymore.Device unlocked

When I type the command, it gets stuck here

Then i unplug the cable

I am using windows 10

help please...

fastboot.exe version

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Shimizux:
Does your "boot.img" inside the target folder? in your case inside "platform-tools" folder?

I recommend install ADB installer from this forum https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

Or just download it here;

ADB Installer : ADB Installer V1.4.3

After done installing

Create new folder in your Desktop

Copy and paste your boot.img inside the folder

Inside the new folder press and hold "Shift" in your keyboard, Right click and choose "Open command prompt windows here"

Reboot your Phone into the bootloader

Connect your phone

And flash your boot.img as you do it before :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Tubby Custard:
Thank you for your reply!

I used adb installer and uninstalled the original driver.

It's stuck here.I unplugged the cable and it did not respond.

I'm sure boot.img is in the current directory.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Shimizux:
Sorry i dont understand, where do you stuck?

By the way, do you have custom recovery (TWRP) install on your phone?

You can flash boot.img with TWRP instead of using fastboot method
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] screw80:
Also had this issue. At one PC worked well, but at another no. Changing USB ports or cables does no matter.

Try to use old pure USB2.0 Hub. In my case D-Link DUB-H7 (in metal case) completely solved the problem.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
So I broke my screen a few weeks ago and had a brand new screen replacement sent in. This is my 2nd screen replacement on this phone so I know how to disassemble and reassemble the display.

However when I reconnected the display, I turn on my phone and I just get a black screen (while the LCD is powered). It will boot into Android as I can hear my messages coming in. The bottom screen navigation buttons also turn on.

If I peek under the screen it looks like the back light flashes on and off a few times before staying off.

I would love some help on this issue. Any information is welcomed. Thanks.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, tbh I was helping a user with the same issue and after trying many things even QFIL? The problem was the replacement screen is defective. He could swap back the old display and it worked (albeit it was cracked) and the new display only the backlight would power on but fail to display anything.

I'd recommend returning that replacement screen as soon as possible and get another screen.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
UPDATE

Hey, thanks for the advice. I tried the qfil thing and it seems to have a display now but half of the screen is on the left and half of the screen is on the right.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, cool! That's lucky in your case that QFIL actually got the display working.

Ok, to fix the split-screen display issue? You must next flash the official build of EUI ROM 14s. It can be found in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/how-to/le-max-2-official-stock-firmware-links-t3433761

Afterwards? I'd recommend flashing a newer EUI ROM once your display is fixed, something like 19s or higher before formatting data and wiping your device and switching back to a custom ROM.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
Awesome, I will try out 14s and report back. I tried 16s, 20s, and 26s which all seemed to fail. Hope this will do the trick!

I've been trying to guess what the actual issue is and I'm so happy it's not hardware related to the connector or something like that. Just a guess but was it software driver related? Is it possible this screen replacement is from the 1st gen of screens that went out and that's why it requires 14s where as newer screen replacements possibly use 16+ and up? In any case, this issue seems pretty rare to x820 users.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] 520GOOgle:
Where did you buy the screen? Under normal circumstances, there are practices to try on the machine, do not be too anxious to install, test if there is a problem to take a video or take photos to the seller's customer service staff to solve, in most cases in China, and many of the screen is not original, The best is to disassemble the machine, hope to help you：D：D
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
Hey, I flashed 14s and the flash worked but I still have the screen cut in half with the left side of the screen on the right side and visa versa.

I had to flash with "Zip Flasher" tool since the touch digitizer doesn't work in TWRP with the screen swapped as it is. Any other ideas?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
I used "Direct link to 14s Chinese ROM" but unfortunately the same issue. Any ideas?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo [MENTION=9562520]quatchis[/MENTION], hmm unfortunately the QFIL then wipe everything and format data then flash 14s is the only fix that I know of... I'll try to ask around if anyone knows of another fix for split screen bug...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] quatchis:
Thanks for the help. Yeah, I tried the QFIL then flashing 14s while wiping all the data/dalvak/cache. Also tried multiple successions using TWRP 3.0.2, 3.3.1 and TWRP 5.8 TeaMSpaiN.

I'm thinking I might just toss the phone at this point since I've bought 2 new screens both which didn't work. I don't think its worth more investment which is hard for me to say. I even had bloody Linux booted up on this bad boy at one point.

This was my favorite phone I have ever purchased and it was worth every last penny. Do you know of any new snapdragon phones that will give me 3 great years of performance. I was even considering a new LeEco phone but have not done any research outside of the LeMax x829.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, If my x2 were to die and same with my nash? tbh I'd recommend looking at anything Xiaomi related or other flagship killers like the stuff RealMe have as well. They offer the best price to performance and they are great for kernel source releases and custom ROM communities. I know on Black Friday/Cyber Mondays there was some great deals on stuff like the Poco F1... But meow? Tbh I'm unsure what kind of deals are out there sorry...

Otherwise? There are other brands out there that offer great devices for darn cheap.

For TWRP though? I'd recommend either the latest official (and ignore the failed to mount vendor errors in logs since vendor partition only gets created on treble ROMs) or TWRP official 3.1.0-0. I wouldn't bother with the other TWRP builds.

But just to check, after QFIL it should be...

reboot to fastboot

fastboot flash twrp-3.3.1-0-x2.img

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-x2.img

Wipe > dalvik, cache, system

Wipe > "format data" button > type "yes" > keyboard checkbox

reboot to recovery

Copy EUI ROM 14s to device

Install EUI ROM 14s

Reboot to system

[General Topics] snovvman:
Greetings,

I have a Sprint Touch (and have read that other HTC phones as well) and its screen will wake up/turn on whenever I am in an area where the coverage is poor. This happens to be my home. I already called Sprint.

Some have theorized that this occurs is when the phone switches between EVDO and 1xRTT. This may very well be true. Some have claimed that this is a WM bug, but I have not seen this behavior in my 700Wx, i730, i700, nor other WM PDAs.

It is burning the battery (aside from the poor coverage, the screen keeps turning on and off) and rather annoying. I'm using S2U2 to reduce the screen "on" time, but would like to find a solution.

I'm hoping that there is some sort of registry entry that can disable this behavior.

Thanks.
[General Topics] Jadel:
I know it is a last resort, but what about turning your radio off (flight mode) when you are in the low coverage area? It isn't like you are going to be able to make/receive a call anyway if your coverage is that bad int he said area.

Of coarse you wouldn't be able to use bluetooth or IR either without the radio, which would be an issue.

Also, is your network selection set to automatic or manual?

Hey Folks,

first i´ve to say, i´m from germany, so my english is maybe not good at all, so please be tolerant^^

a few days ago i bought the new asus rog phone 2 as an import from china, ´cause for the european market in the first time was only the 512gb-phone available, but i don´t need such a big version of the phone, also the 128gb version is cheaper. long story short, the phone arrived and the intern memory is only 18gb instead of 128gb. German asus-support gives no support ´cause the phone comes from china, but the guy told me one thing: the suppliers from china changed the firmware into "WW"-Firmware, what also means i´ll be locked from automaticly android-updates and while installing these Firmware it maybe comes to a partition problem why only 18g of the intern memory remained. Please, can anybody help me to solve this prob.? I´m really not interessted to send the phone back to china ´cause postage will be way expensive.

I´m a ´lil bit into the flashing and rooting-game, so if you have any suggestions going that way that´ll be no prob, i´ll try it.

Grab our recovery from the peripherals section and install it.

Through TWRP Recovery:

Install Zip > Install Image > Choose ‘recovery.img‘ > Select partition ‘Recovery’ > Swipe to confirm flash

Through Fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Install the ROM and then wipe your internal data partition.

Through TWRP Recovery:

Wipe > Format data

Through Fastboot:

fastboot -w

Reboot into system and wait until the process finishes, it could take a little bit. After the installation is done, I suggest waiting before using the phone because it usually goes into thermal throttling after installing a ROM.
