[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] MediaNik:
it is being flashed, but when it's done, it goes in download mod, displays small red exclamation mark and says "reason system: error validating footer"
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyYan:
Then probably dm-verity kicking in (weird, how come when we've unlocked BL already).

I installed Magisk beforehand (patch AP), try it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] deadinside322:
Can you make please more detailed guide how to flash it

Because when I try, it gives me error
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomznottomo:
can you please tell me how to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyYan:
So slightly more details:

1) Make sure Magisk is properly installed (patch AP) and running on your device first, likely because we need it to disable dm-verity

2) Download any ARM64 AB GSI and rename the image (*.img) to system.img.ext4

3) Pack it into tar format (e.g. 7-zip)

4) Flash via Odin

5) Enter stock recovery and wipe data

I'm not too keen on showing the way because an official Android 10 update is around the corner (being intensively beta-tested in China), which could potentially fix the bunch of bugs in running GSIs (most critical being call audio).

[MENTION=10623389]deadinside322[/MENTION] I see you're from 4PDA, greetings. The flashing process does not involve TWRP (we don't have one), which is admittedly unorthodox. What error did you encounter anyway?

BTW I've tried a few ways to port TWRP with no success. I wish you luck there, and don't forget to open-source if you do succeed.

Sorry, I'm not interested in step-by-step assistance. If you're new to this you ought to take some more time to research to prevent screwing up. I can help when you're in progress and hit actual problems.
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] deadinside322:
Hello, I also tried to port TWRP three times already, it didn’t work out in any way.

The problem was that the firmware in Odin was infinitely loaded, and some simply did not want to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy M40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyYan:
Android 10 has released for both A60 (A6060ZCU1BTC9) and M40. I've switched to using it as base for GSIs, and it fixes the call speaker problem; other mentioned issues remain. The flashing process stays the same as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bentsh33:
Hi,

I'm not sure to be in the right section of the forum ( I feel a little lost as my wish concern S/Note9 and S/Note10 family ) but my idea would be to enhance the super slow mo with the "slower" one in order to reduce the potential triggering timing error : example with a golfer, if the capture start only after the second half of the swing it would be less annoying if you would have 240 fps before and after instead of the few seconds with classical frame rate.

I guess it is harder than the "S10 multi take" mod by XML data file but maybe not too hard as I'm not a magician of the coding :crying::crying::crying::D

Technicaly I don't think there is HW problem as the phone can capture "indefinitively" in 240fps : there is no memory buffer limitation instead of Super Slow Mo 2Go ISOCELL

Thanks by advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] VenomB13:
Good idea, or probably time extension for super slow mo will be great mod too : for example from 0.2s 960fps to 0.3s
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] erenkeros:
I think I have the weirdest soft brick ever. First of all my device works. I can use every feature with no issues till I reboot.

If my device is rooted and I try to reboot, it stucks on bootloader for about 30 seconds and loops on fastboot. There's no single reboot process gone smooth. :(

I could earlier fix this issue by flashing system, cache and boot all together from my back up. Now it doesn't work, at least it loops on android booting screen.

My device is MI 9T Pro 128 GB Global.

I flashed Xiaomi.eu 11 latest stable rom via the official TWRP and rooted with magisk.

I tried different TWRP's and OrangeFox to flash Magisk or formatting data but no solutions so far.

First time this happened I also tried to flash 'magisk uninstaller' but it didn't help.

I'm really new to this phone and triggered by this annoying issue. It's been 6 set-ups in 10 days. If anyone can help, that'd be highly appriciated.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] Donopatay:
I recently updated from 10.3.8.0 into MIUI 10.4.4.0. Which is using Android Pie right now. When I copied some files from my phone into my OTG Flash drive suddenly it won't do that anymore. I would just get errors and a zero byte sized clone of the file in my Flash Drive except when copying smaller sized files usually around 1 MB and those copies will turn out fine. I used to be able to do these things without problems before updating to Android Pie. I know for certain that my Flash drive is not broken because I tried it on other devices and even tried reformatting it and it works just fine both reading and writing into it.

Reading files from my OTG Flash drive with my phone is just fine. It's writing into it that has problems.

Am I the only one having these problems? How can I fix this?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Yakman:
My buddy just fragged his Tilt yesterday. He had it in a Zipp Lock baggie and it was in the center console of a SeaDoo. His girlfriend went out on the ski and managed to flip it over. By the time they got it righted and back on shore about a half hour went by before he went to put the key in the console and found the zipp lock half full of water with his Tilt in it. He's trying to dry it out now and see if it'll work enough to get the important info off of it, but it's not looking good.

I just wish Otterbox will make a case for it. You wouldn;t be able to use the keyboard, but it would protect the TyTN II/TIlt. They make one for the iPhoney.

By the way I did find a .cab some time ago that had waterway maps on it, but I can't seem to find it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] The Judge:
You could use a Offroad-GPS-software that can display scans as maps.

I use Kompass ( http://www.bb-eng.com/Index.htm ), which a german freeware software. I save a Google Earth satelite picture to the TyTN2, calibrate it with GE and Kompass and use it as a map. I can also scan any card, save and calibrate it. I have already used this succesfully for watersports on the baltic sea.

The software is english, but I only know a german description.

There are many types of offroad-GPS-software. And most of them can use self-scanned maps. If you have a papermap of your desired lake and a scanner, you´re done.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Arlop:
Funny story, my buddy dropped his Tilt in the loo(pre dump out). He quick grabbed it and washed it off in the sink, then took the battery out. He let it sit for a couple of days then put the battery back in and BAM it started working again. He said his reception is kinda ****ty but oh well....J/K...No really everything is still working fine.

Random reboots Havoc OS Moto Z2 Play

Hi,

Please help me out.

I'm on Havoc OS 2.9 latest build on Moto Z2 Play.

The ROM is stable and almost perfect, using as a daily driver for past 3 days. But I've got some issues mentioned as below. Please help me fix it:

*random reboots, twice a day. Tried a clean flash but still the problem persists.

*the call quality, i think it's with the speaker, a distortion is there. Plus even if the call volume is made too low, i get volume like it's on loud speaker.

*VoLTE icon disappears after a reboot and only comes if i remove the sim tray and put it back.

USB mode problem

Recently I've flashed Havoc - the ROM works great, it's really fast, stable and battery-friendly, but there is one huge problem: when I connect my Z2p to the USB port nothing happens. I mean charging starts, but there is no "Choose USB configuration" menu. I have to choose it manually under Programmer options, or enable Debugging - in this case this menu shows once, but after unplugging and replugging into USB - the situation is again the same.

Because of that there is no way to use Android Auto as usual - it is necessary to engage Debugging or manually choose it under Programmer options.

Havoc was clean-flashed, I've tried a couple of laptops, a bunch of cables, I've cleaned the USB-C port in my Z2p, re-flashed again. Last thing I've tried was Applications -> Show system -> Host MTP -> Internal memory -> Clean cache memory.

NOTHING.

Havoc settings -> Other -> Automatic USB mode is active, by the way, I know this option.

Anybody can help me? Pranav Kumar, do you think it can be fixed somehow? I really like this ROM and I don't want to leave it because of one detail...

Greetings!

PS:

I've found two such interesting lines in logcat, maybe this would help:

[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Pranav Kumar:
First you need to enable Developer options there you can see USB debugging.

To enable Developer options, tap on build number 7times.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kontemp:
Of course I did it :)

The point is: 1) that leaving USB debugging ON all the time could be dangerous, and 2) simple file transfer shouldn't need USB debugging to be ON, right? (for what??)

Regular phone behavour should be like this: USB debugging is OFF, I plug the usb cable, connect it to the phone - and phone shows the notification about the USB mode to choose. Here nothing like this happens, I have to push this notification manually.

My point is, that maybe there is something wrong on Google side - this forum thread I've put in post above suggests something like that.

Unfortunately this option Havoc Setting -> Misc -> Automatic USB Mode Choice doesn't work, I've tried (I don't know exact name, I translate it from my language). It looks like some part of software responsible for usb behavour monitoring is malfunctioning.

Could you

please

refresh the build including the latest Google security updates? Maybe this would correct this issue somehow? I know it's a bit againt forum rules to ask ETAs and so on, but you are really the last active Moto Z2p maintainer I've came across :) Help please! :)

The power button and digital sensor runs ok, includind the functions i have personalized (for example turn de flash light on). It seems like the system is there but something dont let me access (maybe like thoose functions to keep you away from device for a certain time - in my case it's been 8 hours for while), but although the TWRP is still there, the system folders in Recovery Mode seems empty; PC dont recognize device when it's on - only on recovery mode; and WhatsApp on desktop shows the message for 'device not connected'.

[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] leodexe:
Yes you can, but you need to reflash the modem file from Stock Oreo as the modem file from Stock Pie causes audio issues during calls on Custom ROMs.

ROM is 64 bit, much like any AOSP-based or LOS-based ROM, so you need 64-bit TWRP.

Try disabling ambient display.

This is a bug caused by the Stock Pie modem. To fix it flash again the modem file from Stock Oreo. http://www.mediafire.com/file/q8nbpybxc8mjyew/NON-HLOS-Z2P-STOCK-8-OREO.7z/file

Some Custom ROMs don't support VoLTE. I know that [MENTION=10051289]+ultra[/MENTION]'s AOSP Extended fully supports VoLTE and MotoMods.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DarkBuf0n:
Hi. It is possible by Magisk or Kernel to activate HDR support. I think the processor and the display can run it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
I don't know if the full HDR support can be forcibly activated on Tab S5e, but some things can be done even on stock firmware:

A hidden setting, called Video Enhancer, can be turned on (by QuickShortcutMaker or similar app). It's of great importance to play HDR video online or offline.

The native Samsung Video Player works just fine with downloaded HDR video content (see a HDR label on the video thumbnail/title) as well as MX Player, VLC player, etc.

YouTube Vanced Mod (both for Rooted & Non-Rooted devices) has no problem to play HDR video content in YouTube. (How To: download and install both MicroG & Vanced Apps, give MicroG all Permissions needed, start Yotube Vanced and go to Vanced Settings, tap several times on About to unhide Codec Override menu, and tap on Galaxy S8+ to enable hardware HDR support)

Well, playing HDR video on Tab S5e is just amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Geese1:
I already have YouTube Vanced, but where do you find the Video Enhancer toggle on the tablet? I've looked all through the settings and can't find it (it's definitely not under the Advanced Settings tab).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
I said above that the Video Enhancer option is hidden on Tab S5e by Samsung. We have to unhide it by apps capable to read Android activities, e.g. QuickShortcutMaker...

Just click on the QuickShortcutMaker hyperlink in my post above or here:

https://www.guidingtech.com/69325/samsung-galaxy-s8-video-enhancer/

and you can see how to start this option... (btw, QuickShortcutMaker is an old gold app and already can not create shortcuts on the latest Android versions, but you can launch Video Enhancer option tapping on Try)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] dylanmurzello:
thanks for help you are a lifesavesr!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Geese1:
Thanks, went ahead and downloaded the app and turned on the Video Enhancer feature.

By the way, something I noticed in YouTube Vanced is that I can have 4k resolution, or HDR, but not both. Looks like HDR tops out at 1080p, but if I use the VP9 code I can go up to 2160p. Is this correct, or is there a workaround for this as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
Yes, all 4 codecs in Vanced Override Menu support max resolution of 4K (2160p) 60FPS. 2 of them support (hardware/software) HDR video playing - up to FHD (1080p) 60FPS HDR. It seems that 1080p60 HDR is a Google limitation for mobile devices.

The good news is that Tab S5e handles YouTube streaming video perfectly in all resolutions, FPS and codecs, and the picture quality is just amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DarkBuf0n:
Thanks for the info.

But when I am running LineageOS I do not have Samsung Video Enhancer.

On Youtube Vanced active the HDR but the colors are washed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] LeGi0NeeR:
If the Samsung Video Enhancer option is not implemented in custom ROMs, you may try Video Enhancer app from Google Play:
