Hello. I am searching the web but cannot find proper answer. Is there any way to flash gapps on our device? any method? I see Havoc rom for our device but I cannot find a way to flash gapps. Does someone know how to do that without fully working twrp? I tried flasher from Franco kernel manager and ElementalX but with no luck.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notjustadream:
Greetings!

I got a S5 Mini (SM-G800F Germany) and I intend to install Lineage OS 14.1 [unofficial] on it. I already succeeded in replacing the stock recovery with TWRP 3.0.0.1.

However, I read that I should do an EFS Backup before flashing with Lineage, and that I would need root access for that. So I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip with TRWP from sd card. It seemed successful, but since the install the phone does not boot past the samsung boot logo. What could be the problem?

And more important even: How can I revert the changes? A factory reset does not do the trick. And how to proceed after that, as I seem to need to have root, because that EFS backup seems to be a good idea.

I welcome any help with this, I am somewhat of a beginner and always quite nervous with flashing phones, I'd hate to brick the newly acquired phone.

/Edit: Have since found out that I can do an EFS Backup with TWRP and have done it. Tried several approaches to undo soft-brick of android, tried format data, tried cashe wipe, tried wipe dalvik cache, nothing worked. I was wondering whether I need a working android for flashing lineage anyway, or whether I can proceed with flashing lineage with a soft-bricked system?

yours

notjustadream

/Edit: Thread can be closed, I just went ahead and installed lineage unto the phone. Unfortunately now without root acess, but at least it works and is no longer sotf-bricked! Since I got no replies in here, I wonder if I did something wrong to discourage helping me out?

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] 5URV1V0R:
i am generally very happy with my OnePlus 7t Pro McLaren edition.

However, while scrolling (mostly vertically), there are continuous jitters and stutters. What i mean is that if i am scrolling downwards/upwards (say in Photos app or Chrome or Twitter or any app that has vertical alignment) my downward/upward swipes don't lead to relatively equal movements/scrolling on the screen. Sometimes the swipe will scroll the screen very slow, sometimes very fast, sometimes it even moves in reverse to my swipe direction. All this lead to a very jittery scrolling experience.

i have read that the pre-installed screen protector can cause static which could contribute to such jittery screen behavior but i am not sure of that and don't want to remove my screen protector if it doesn't mitigate the problem.

I already posted this on be on the OnePlus Community app.

Anybody facing the same? Any suggestions?

Other Thing is try the 90hz its smoother with less hickups (dont know why...)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] KaiseRRUby:
Hi Guys,

Everything went wrong today. At the end i went to the point where i myself locked bootloader with fastboot. Want to unlock it again but this strange error appeared:

https://imgur.com/qBNM4ah

Does anyone know what this means? Phone is locked, can only go into fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] kaydentc1:
Same here. My dumbass thought it would be a good idea to lock the bootloader (don't ask why because I don't even know the answer). System is destroyed and can only boot to fastboot. No Mi ID associated with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] g_seva:
system destroyed happens when you lock bootloader on Chines device with global ROM. You get it when you trying to boot in system?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] kaydentc1:
No. It's a global device. I have even put that **** in EDL mode and tried to flash the damn thing. EDL authentication failed. I have no clue what the do next.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] g_seva:
For EDL flash you need xiaomi authorized account, there is rumors that some Indians make EDL flash with remote connection and their authorized account for 12$. Try to search in google or if you have a xiaomi seller or official repair in your home town, check there how much it will cost you.

You sure you have a global version? Were you bought the phone? Was it with locked or unlocked bootloader and what ROM was on it? Because some sellers, mostly on aliexpress and similar, just unlock bootloader on Chines devices, flash a global ROM and call it global version.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] sangbuana:
From the image attached, it looks like someone used the Find Device feature and activated Lost Mode. Is the Mi account number shown yours?

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLearner:
Hi all,

I'm jumping from LOS 14.1 to 16.1, I have the last unofficial TWRP 3.2.3 installed from the nearby thread, used to work well before encryption, now I can't decrypt the data partition, thus no backups, zip flash, OTA...

Any ideas? Thanks.

[Update]: it seems LineageOS 16 installs its own bootloader on some models that allows the encryption while being compatible with OTA. However, on Z1 it keeps TWRP and thus the incompatibility with the encryption. Any way to install with its bootloader on Z1?

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:
Hey :good:

Ive got some questions and hope somebody can help me here!

I've got TWRP 3.3.1-46 installed.

I can backup the boot, recovery, system image and vendor image without any problems. However, when backing up the data, I keep getting "createTarFork()" with error 255. I have been searching on google for some time, but have not found the right solution. Has anyone had the problem with MI9 before?

Furthermore I use "titatnium backup" with the pro version to backup the apps. But since a few months I have a lot of problems with this apps too. During the restore the app hangs or the apps are not restored and I have to intervene manually again and again (out of 120apps this concerns about 30). Does anyone have a good alternative?

thank you so much! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Laptapper:
1 I've had the same, you can find the problem in twrp log. For me it was the empty folder data pre_boot. Deleted and ok.

2. I've the same prob. Some apps didn't restore, only if you installed first manually the app and then restore is working.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:
Okay. Where i can find this folder?

Youve contact Titanium Backup?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Laptapper:
Root data pre_boot

No. I'll hope they knew and give an update
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] kipue:
Yep, same issue here fixed the same way:good:

You'll need to use a file explorer with root privileges to go to the /data folder, keep in mind.

Maybe twrp explorer could do it as well?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:
that would be good yes. I cant find a folder that name is "pre_boot"?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] toscha42:
1) The official TWRP version for Mi 9 is 3.3.1-0, based on last version of Mauronofrio 3.3.1-52. So I suggest to first migrate onto the current version and to try again.

2) Many problems have been reported for Titanium Backup. I'm using Swift Backup instead without any issues so far.

Cheers

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] kipue:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:
same problem again after flashing 3.3.1-0
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] thecdn:
I've been using Swift for quite some time and it certainly lives up to it's name. It backs up so fast compared to TB that at first you assume it can't be working right. I've never had a problem with backup/restores and the UI, especially in dark mode, is great. It will also easily backup sms messages, call logs, wallpapers and wifi settings.

Can't recommend this highly enough.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] LyDjane:
sooo guys! :)

ive tested swift backup and it works like charm! :) awesome no errors or problems. Bought premium directly.

after flashing 3.3.1.-0 twrp and deleten folder pre_boot now it works too!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Laptapper:
Swift backup is really good, but I need to restore sometimes system apps and so I've to be with titanium. Also I'm using freezing apps and other things which aren't possible with swift backup.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] liquor:
Still love my essential after 1.5 years but been having a few issues lately:

First there is this blue spot that appeared on my screen last month

Second i'm experiencing serious battery issues : battery drains super quickly and often shut down phone around 50%. A few months ago I had excellent battery life (whole day without needing to charge), even on latest Android 10 (stock non rooted). I tried a few things including a factory reset without any success...

Screen issue I can live with but battery no... so I ordered a battery from aliexpress and prepare mentally for the repair with this video . Any further advice?

My essential was refurbished so it may explain the short battery life but I am wondering if alot of ph1 owners still run fine on original battery after 2 years? Mine was also dropped in water 6 months ago but without immediate issues but could be related to recent problems I am facing now :confused:

Anyhow, would really like to rock this phone at least 6 more months!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Mine is original bought from Amazon deal 1 1/2 years ago. The battery is still great. Fully charged at 9:30pm, next morning at 6:00am, the battery is 97%.

Phone never got dropped or water damage. I took good care of it, and hoping I can use it until Black Friday this year. :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
It sounds like [MENTION=8874152]chanh2018[/MENTION] doesn't charge the phone way past when it's full. The PH-1 is one of the (many) devices that do not stop charging and draw from the charger when full.

If your use of the phone is different, the device gets run down then fully charged repetitively, then the wear on your battery will be higher. These comparisons are not really valid because of people's different habits.

My PH-1 battery is in good shape, even though it spends a silly amount of time on a charger. I use a Magisk adjacent (there is a module, also an app but I install by script) project called Advanced Charging Controller (ACC). When the upper charge level is reached, on the PH-1, it stops charging and discharges to the lower set-point. On a normal day, that range is 70%-80%. If I'm using the screen for a long period, like navigation, the same is 40%-41%.

I've done something similar since my N6 and have had little battery trouble.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] liquor:
That makes sense - I'm always plugging my phone before going to bed and let it charge until the morning so that might explain my battery issue.

I thought it was smart enough to stop charging for a while when 100% was reached... I'll pay attention to that when I get my new battery!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Well....I don't charge my phone overnight, but I always let it goes up to 100% and I don't have any issue with it.

It's been 1 1/2 year and still running like first day. Maybe I'm just lucky.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
There are many factors that influence battery condition. Factors like heat, both ambient and charging related, the speed of charging(e.g. quick vrs trickle), the depth of discharge/charge. An in depth writing on the subject is available at the battery university.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xTHXxx:
Worked the battery change for you? Since three days I have also heavy battery drain. It needs around 140mAh per hour screen off. My battery health is only 66% said accubattery. I also tried a factory reset...didnt worked. The Phone is like yours 1,5 years old.

I love it too and dont want to change :/
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
Another possibility is that there is some current leakage due to moisture maybe via dendritic growth which could cause current to leak after dendrites have had time to grow.

(As you dropped in water and/or due to reconditioning work leaving residue on PCB dendrites is more likely to occur as rework normally use no clean soldiering products & likely less clean working methods than factory)

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

Could be battery failing (not sure how those battery apps calculate rating) though I'd also be looking at a recent app update being incompatible first for such sudden onset (any apps showing higher than normal battery usage) or maybe issue with your wifi/data
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JudasD:
My PH-1 is also 1.5 years old and is now having serious battery issues. About two months ago my phone went from "feeling normal" to losing about 3-4 hours of charge per day. On new years day my phone hit 50% and shut off. The phone was not hot at that time. Since that shut-off event my battery only lasts about a quarter of what it would as new.

It would be nice if Essential offered a service to replace the batteries for a fee. I would really like to see replaceable batteries come back in style.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xTHXxx:
It was the wifi Adapter. I would not habe thought but after disable it I got my old, for one day sufficient battery drain back. I have enough mobile data to live without wifi...not the best Solution but its okay.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JudasD:
I just changed out my battery over the weekend. It was actually much easier than the videos on the web lead you to believe. Now i have tons of battery life and it's back to the way it was when i first bought the phone. Very happy!!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] eKeith:
Sweet. Where did you get the battery and which video guide do you recommend? According to AccuBattery my battery's health is 85% but feels like 50!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JudasD:
For me accubattery said 45% and it really did feel like 45%! LOL

The battery i used was from amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T28KL8B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did not do any research on the battery. it was the only one i could find that would get here quickly. So far it is working fine, but time will be the true judge.

main videos to use is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCKxAQXdTJ8&t=618s

the main guide to use is:

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Essential+Phone+Battery+Replacement/123496

The video is good in that it shows the heat gun to use and how to use it. The only downside to the video is they give the impression that the suction does more than it really does. (this is where the guide below comes in) For me it was a mix of suction cup and very light prying.

The guide is by iFixit and it is very helpful. IMPORTANT: DO NOT THE IFIXIT YOUTUBE VIDEO, IT IS NO GOOD!

The iFixit guide shows you where to make your initial tool insertion (i used a playing card edge) and how deep you actually have to play with around the edges. I also did not use scalpels like they do in the guide. I used only playing cards as it is MUCH safer when going around the edges. The playing cards can cut the adhesive, but will not cut the screen substrate. WARNING: THE PLAYING CARDS CAN STILL LIFT THE SUBSTRATE IF YOU GET TOO AGGRESSIVE, THEY JUST CANNOT CUT IT. BE CAREFUL AS YOU CAN STILL CAUSE DAMAGE.

In summary, the approach is a mix of heatgun and suction cup with playing cards around the edges. Take your time. It took me about 30 mins to get the screen off. After that it is super easy, just be patient.

I'll gladly answer any questions you might have.

Good Luck,

JD
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] eKeith:
Great! Thanks much for taking the time to share such detailed info.

I think that I will wait a little longer until my battery gets worse but I have bookmarked your references...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] liquor:
I also changed my battery last weekend but used a combination of guitar picks / scalpel / playing cards to decouple the screen after heating the edges with hairdryer.

Result : I damaged my screen so I prime ordered a new one for 80$ CAD. Once connected, I used b7000 glue carefully on the frame edges and put the phone under a big book for 24h.

Phone now feels like new and I hope it for last a while...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix007:
Can someone explain to me why root on a phone is forbidden?

I ask this because certain apps do not run when a phone is rooted.

But if you run something equal on Windows or Linux it's allright if you have administrator or even Enterprise rights...

I do not understand this...

Regards,

Phoenix007
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sieger007:
well if they had the choice and foresight they probably would have created a restricted account for you even on a PC... but it's like oh shucks.... we give them full access to the OS well now let's not do it for mobile phones.

there are many reasons why rooting is restricted

-- reasons justified by the the manufacturer.

is that rooting changes their propriety apps and other information on the phone to the extent that modifying the system could hose the phone completely and therefore is a basis of denying warranty

-certain financial apps and other apps actually have code built into them that look for rooting and will stop working if the phone is rooted with the message that they will not work with rooted phone. there are workarounds in terms of fooling those apps that the phone is not rooted

-rooting gives user full access and if he does not know what is doing that can completely brick the phone which is in many cases is a v valid reason.... search for bricked phone threads on this forum and you see so many of them... though not all of them come from rooting the phone

now the real reason from user perspective

--a lot of Chinese phone manufacturers or even otherwise keep low level system apps running that collect your personal information

if you root a phone you have complete control of disabling any kind of app that's out there that you don't feel is working in your interest and you can basically throw away all those garbage apps that you don't feel have any value but the phone manufacturer wants to keep them

glaring example is Knox in Samsung phones. that app keeps running all the time and most of the time people don't need it.

-if you root a phone you can completely wipe out the stock OS supplied by the manufacturer and put in any kind of OS you want that is compatible

- phone manufacturer like Samsung has tied up with your carrier example t mobile and many a times business model needs that phone should work only with those certain carriers and not with any other carrier or outside that region so it becomes necessary to limit your access to the phone

-it's like the phone company is telling you you pay the cost of the phone and you rented from me. how much is the monthly rent ? $0 pm.... but you still rent it.... phone is not yours (=rooted )
