I have a request anyone can share with my twrp back up clear update without data like zip file because I have problem with my QFIL and when I try to install zui 10.5 give me sahara error and I thought about this option
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] Astronomico:
Sorry, i didn't see it, but saraha error is probably caused because wrong version of USB drivers in your PC, or you're being too slow to press "download content" on qfil after plug the phone (I don't know exactly why, but you have to click it fairly fast)
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] brujaboy:
doesn't matter, thank u so much for replying yesterday I installed all of driver versions but I saw still again and I find another method like pushing very fast download click button and I did successfully 11.1.021 :) thank u so much again for supporting
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] Lombachita:
Hi bro. I see a little error in your command: The second command in the 9th step is wrong, the correct command is: "fastboot oem unlock-go".

i got step 1,2,3,4,5 and 6, got an error #7.

so i used the tutorial to flash the device in step 1

it was unable to update cuz bootloader was unlock

i locked bootloader and update to 11.1.021

so afther that, i unlocked again to install twrp.

intalled twrp and transfer file to phone

booted twrp and installed the zip, got the error 7 again.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] leerh:
best thing is to try again an follow every letter and step this only way to install 11.5 (beta) did u set a pin it is needed ive not seen another guide to install android 10
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] Astronomico:
Ops, fixed :p
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] piyerre:
Thank you very much !

it works very well. we need to follow EXACTLY each step and use the correct files (like twrp)

Strangely enough, i installed ZUI 10.304 but after that, it does not give the option to update to ZUI 11. I used the qfil option as described. Does anybody have a solution?

Immediately updating to ZUI 11.1021 does not work, because updating afterwards results in an 7 error.

Does anybody know how to get the update from 10.304 to 11.1.021? The bootloader is locked.

i'm not receiving any update even after i relocked bootloader
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] Astronomico:
Maybe Lenovo had changed something the distribution of updates :/ I don't know how to help you to get the 11.1.021, sorry.

Maybe you can find a solution on Google in some Russian or Japanese forum with help of a translator (that's how I found the file of update)

unable to downgrade/upgrade with QFIL or TWRP method

I'm currently on 11.1.021 (bootloader unlocked on CN rom) that I can't remember if it was by QFIL or OTA anymore.

I got a notification on ZUI update to update to 11.5.223 , however after download and rebooting, it goes to TWRP and I cannot find the file to update - does anyone know if this would work if anyone knows the file name?

Since I can't find the update, I looked up on here and tried both QFIL and TWRP methods of trying to update to 11.5.223 or downgrade to 10.5 with the files in numerous folders on here. Can't work as it gets stuck at :

1. QFIL method

I can't upload this screenshot but it basically shows it shows

(Select port part says qualcomm COM3 so it's connected)

Status:

Process index: 0

Start Download

Program Path: C:\Users\x\Downloads\L78032_CN_secure....ddr.elf

****Working Folder c:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_3

I get stuck at this part after I press "Download Content" then it eventually times out as the Sahara error. I promise I have tried >10 times with different zip files (and making sure I press it in <1 second) to upgrade/downgrade and it all gets stuck at this point. The PC is detecting the phone as I can use TWRP to load the bootloader etc. Anyone have any bright ideas?

2. TWRP method

With multiple zip files (i've downloaded about 5-6 different ones to try already) , it either gets stuck at "invalid zip file" or the "error 7" which I have read ideally I need to use the QFIL method but since the QFIL method is not working for me too then I am just stuck either way.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] carlshark:
Looks like QPST cannot work with your long program path. Try unzipping in C:\ and see if it still gives an error.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Guides, News, & Discussion] b19ckr9bb1t:
Still not working with multiple files in the C:\ drive. Still stuck at the same part where its ****Working on folder etc

Any other suggestions? Thanks btw!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cognus:
I tried searching this and posting elsewhere but not getting traction, though I see many with similar complaints, and a lot of youtube traffic about 'FIX Fire 4K buffering" etc. A close friend asked my help with an issue with their new Fire 4K. Long story short, after checking all the other potential problems, indeed I was able to isolate the Fire 4K itself as producing WIFI throughput that is about a tenth of where it should be, on a 2.4ghz band. It is sitting about 2 feet from the router. Every other device [one pc, two handsets, one macbook] get from 5x to well over 10x what the Fire 4K is, and even then it is unstable. The througput varies widely, resulting in really annoying performance.

I was quite sure that the 2 units I personally own were up to speed, ... until I tested repetitively. Though better than what I saw at my friend's place, both of these produce about the same throughput on 5ghz or 2.4ghz - seems little different, and that throughput, especially compared to good devices on the 5ghz band, is fractional also, about 30% of the average of other devices in the same exact spot, all things equal.

Anyone been through this? What is the cure?. Where are the advanced network settings for this thing? the menu shows next to nothing, and I applaud them for simplicity but the performance is out of line with the industry

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] hydroman202:
How do you access EDL mode on this device? Fastboot oem blankflash does not work. It only returns a denied message. If your wondering why I need access to this mode it's so I can fix my baseband. I read somewhere here on xda that doing so may help me get the original baseband back.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] LeeSylva:
Also require access to EDL mode, but can't find a way.

I have the same question...

Deep flash cables don't seem to work, although I just learned that I need to check the "ports" section of Windows device manager and not simply expect it to pop up like a new device normally would.

My G7 Play isn't bricked.

Not rooted, and no TWRP installed either.

I need to figure out a way to make a full disk image without destroying the data already present.

The options theoretically possible seem to be:

1. Root via exploit - I'm currently exploring the viability of privilege escalation from Ubuntu installed in Termux

2. Unlock the bootloader without formatting anything - Guides do exist for other phones, but I only get one chance to get this avenue right.

3. Enter EDL mode and backup the entire disk using Qualcomm's own software. - The easiest way (on paper), but the method to put this phone in EDL mode continues to elude me.

I'm aware of the typical three ways to get a Qualcomm device in EDL mode without bricking it...

Deep flash cable - doesn't seem to work, but I'll try again with freshly aquired knowledge.

ADB/fastboot command - I've tried all of them native to my device, and a few that were added from guides about other devices

JTAG "pins" - much more like pads than pins...

Can't find diddly about 'em.

Don't know if they exist on a G7 Play, or which two to short to each other if they are even there.

Anyone have a potential solution that i may have overlooked?

Not sure if this is what you need or not but here's s link for a PDF file that's chock fill of nerd stuff (schematics/pinouts/etc) regarding the g7 play (-4 variant, I think)

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] LeeSylva:
How to over think the simple things?

Thanks for the input gentlemen,

I'll hang on to the literature for future reference.

Turns out that I was wayyyyyyyy over thinking it.

Motorola's adb and fastboot commands (particularly on Qualcomm socs) is highly contextual.

When the documentation said 'adb reboot edl' that's what it meant.

Not from the booted os though.....

From recovery (SMH).

Simple as that for anyone else who's trying to take a full disk image without unlocking their bootloader

I think I'll still pursue a root exploit via termux though.

It could help a lot of folks out who don't have a solid root solution (Samsung users).

I'm too close to just forget about it anyway.

Seems to be working out like the old adb temp root, but with the possibility of automating the process into something less cumbersome.

Select slot_b from TWRP, then reboot into fastboot. You'll brick and go into EDL. I just did it last night on accident.

ok so i have the xt1952-t variant i have no stock recovery ive flashed in fastboot stock android 10 rom (XT1952-T_CHANNEL_RV_9.0_PCYS29.148-154-8_cid21_subsidy-TMO_SPR_RSU_QCOM_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) everything flashed fine but it wont boot it says no baseband and ro.full build is blank. everytime it says unable to read non-hlos and kicks me back to fastboot. also bootloader is locked still i have my unique key but without being able to boot to os i cant toggle oem unlock..... this has been so frustrating. I believe i need to blank flash the device but cant get to edl.... can somebody tell my noob @$$ how to fix this thing? its my friends device i think he issued an erase all command. ive tried oem config fsg-id tmo and oem config carrier tmo both say ok but nothing fixes it.....please sos. Thanks in advance.

EDIT* Got it to boot to stock recovery after all thanks

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] noidodroid:
You can't reboot to EDL from recovery using the phones interface nor ADB if in sideload mode etc. This just isn't possible.

There are a lot of custom made ADB versions out there other than the stock platform tools. These other ones contain special commands for various brands that support them. I do know these will work but unfortunately only testpoints, bricking, or like smoeone said possibly changing configuration of boot are the only ways to get into EDL I can think of.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] noidodroid:
I never could get motorolas into EDL switching between slots and such with TWRP.

Seriously? That's odd. What build? I could never achieve this (didn't try intentionaly either) . Every time I would do as you explain for testing purposes my phone would simply reboot to TWRP or back to slot a. This is with majority of motorolas i have with slots and with no configuration changed by me.

[Android Head-Units] Steelers743:
So I unfortunately have a unit with crappy wifi and bluetooth hardware that only works 10% of the time. I have sound a hopeful solution here https://xdaforums.com/sho...1&postcount=70

the problem is it seems to need a rooted device to run those scripts. So I have been trying to update my device to the Hal9k or malaysk ROMS. My device wont install the ModInstaller.apk no matter what I try. I click install and it just show package installer in the top bar for a sec then goes away and does nothing. I made sure the apps had access to install apks, I have tried moving it into data/apps. I jsut can get the unit to install the APKs to backup and install a new ROM. If I try to run the rom updater from sd and not with the apk backup it gives me an error: 21. not sure if either are related.

Or if someone knows a way i can run a script from the above url fix without updating a whole new rom and just whitelisting it would be so happy! I just want wifi and bluetooth

Please help

Thanks!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
RCS is a poor excuse for a joke on Android users. It is not viable and will never be. Forget it and use some other platform for what you want like WhatsApp or Signal. One day you have RCS (whatever they claim it to be) and then you wake up and it's gone for good. That's why Apple is where it is, it works for everyone no hacks needed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
RCS has been fine for me after a few hiccups. If it says connecting you could try switching to airplane mode and turning it off and that does the trick sometimes. If it doesn't work then you'd need to turn airplane mode on and force stop carrier services and clear data/cache. Then force stop messenger and clear data and cache and turn airplane mode off and launch messenger again and that will do it. RCS on the Pixel 4/4XL is actually being handled by Google vs our carriers this time around. So hopefully Google gets their act together and gets RCS to work for everyone without issues.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Who in their right mind would do that? If it doesn't work bag it Google.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Some_Ghost:
for some reason I had to reflash the factory image for February, this is a warranty replacement and out of the box it just was buggy but everything is perfect now
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
People that aren't aboard the RCS hate train and don't want to use WhatsApp or other third party chat apps. I get it, you don't like RCS and I don't blame you. It's still in its infancy and will take some time to get up and running universally. It takes me a whole 20-30 seconds to do what I described in my post. I haven't had to do it for months now and RCS has been rock solid for me. Hopefully overtime it will be ironed out even further and it'll work how it's supposed to right out of the box without any tinkering.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
It's no so much the hate train as it is the lame train. If it doesn't work for everyone it doesn't work. Figure it out and then roll it out. How hard would that be to do? Yes, it's a novel concept but they should give it a try.

The point about doing the hack is that 99% of users would never do that. And the carriers could not care less and are working on their own implementation. So basically it's going nowhere. No hate just reality.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Some_Ghost:
The carriers and so many Android devices, it's a pain yes... apple has one company, a web of the same devices, so iMessage is so universql and easily implemented. if every device shipped with Android messages by default that would fix a big part of it I think... but Android is open source and and every manufacturer wants to add their own touch
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
No problems here. "Chat message" shows up in the few people I know that have it working. I do know it sometimes doesn't work on WiFi depending on the network. The hospital I work at, for example, drops out to regular text.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
The only time I've had issues with RCS was when using DSDS. When that is working it says unsupported device.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Heh, I guess that explains why my RCS went way... I have Verizon physical sim and FI e-sim.

Good to know. Did it come back without hassle when removing the 2nd sim?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Give it a try. I'm reluctant to erase my Fi eSim simply because their tech support is atrocious and if something happens I'm on my own. But the Verizon sim is easy to pop out and in. I believe it will work but that's really not a good answer or great scenario.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Can you check the size of the photos you've sent and received recently? I noticed some degradation and sure enough when I checked the file size it's compressed even though RCS is connected, enabled and my chat bubbles are dark blue. At first I noticed it from a Verizon carrier but now I'm noticing it to other carriers to.
