[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] augugusto:
I just got my note 8t and I miss having root and a custom rom, but I'm scared of voiding the warranty on a new phone. What do you recommend? What would you do?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] arshy:
Everytime I got brand new phone I always unlock bootloader install custom recovery and root. If you dont have any defect hardware, having warranty didnt do anything for you, you can relock bootloader back, incase you wanna sell it or something.

As long you follow the guide carefully and DO NOT cross flashing or flashing unknown package/firmware you didnt know what for is, its pretty safe.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] pitok9:
I mean it's safe if you do it step by step. I do it on every phone I own. For me warranty is not my thing, I barely drop my phone and I've never experienced any hardware problems in my life...

It's about you. What do you want ? :silly:

Just as the title says, what would have caused the PreConfig.txt to stop running on initial boot all of a sudden? It was working then quit. Also, I have icons for advanced config and task manager in the control panel but cannot find the shortcut links anywhere.. not sure how I have ghosts for these two icons. I almost have a custom ROM for 20226 that is cleaner than any to date.. and faster ;)

Also if you can point me in the right direction on what kitchen your using for the 6.1 builds. that would be cool.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Hekiru77:
Hi there. I have some difficult trouble with my imei. After installing an official rom with odin i got my imei1 changed to another one. Beause of that, there is "only emergency calls" displaying and mobile services aren't working.

Smart switch is useless, cuz my phone was previously used by another person i bought it from. So, Switch asks an emergency repair code from an old PC, but the previous owner doesn't have a clue about that code.

Combination rom can't be installed, ofc.

Other roms i've tried to install don't give any result. There were different official roms with different versions and CSC, a couple of customs, separate parts of roms.

Also I've done all possible wipes in different order and different ways.

Additionally, i've tried to change imei1 to my default imei using Magisk Modules, Xposed Modules and terminal emulator.

Soooo, guys, help me please, can i fix it someway?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vestaviascott:
I have almost conquered my carputer solution. Everything works pretty great as long as the car is running:

But there is one critical issue occurring during stop and start of the engine. My "wireless carplay dongle" from Carlinkit is very finicky about having a constant source of power and when I get a split second power drop during ignition stop or start, the dongle loses power over the OTG cable. Once this happens, I have to restart the tablet to get the OTG device to be recognized again.

This dongle is connected to the micro USB port of the N7 via an OTG+Charger splitter cable. I need to somehow feed a constant source of power to the dongle via the car. Otherwise, it resets and has to be manually resynced for the tablet to recognize it.

I've tried to use my little Jackery 3200mAh battery pack to serve as backup power to the tablet while the ignition is off, and this does keep the tablet and the dongle powered, but whenever I start the car, their is a split second power interuption and the dongle shuts off and has to then be manually re-synced to the tablet.

I need to figure out if its possible to avoid this power interruption, either with a more sophisticated USB battery pack/charger with more advanced circuitry that doesn't drop power when the ignition is toggled or alternately, a non interuptible power tap from the fusebox or from the battery terminal itself.

Thoughts? Any help much appreciated. I'm almost there!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vestaviascott:
As a workaround, is there a one-touch or one gesture means of restarting the tablet? Granted, its not too difficult to restart the tablet by pressing the power button and then clicking the "OK" link on the screen to confirm reboot/restart. However, when you are driving, that's way too precise and complicated to do. If there was a gesture or pattern I could swipe on the tablet, or perhaps even a triple click to instantly restart the tablet, that would make this whole power cycle issue much easier to deal with until I can find a solution (assuming one exists)
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] gamblodar:
I followed the guide to bootloader unlocking and managed to get it working. I had upgraded via LGUP to Pie, then did the unlock, and it went smoothly.

I got TWRP installed and went through the process of flashing the Lineage 17 zip.

Afterwords, I get this screen. I can get to fastboot, I can get to Firmware update, and I can flash TWRP back on manually (it seems to be gone). What I can't do is get the phone to boot.

Is there anyone with some ideas to help me?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
probably your device failed a routine saftey check, might want to flash back the pie firmware I use 20a which is the first pie release for my US V40. Flash back the KDZ and relock bootloader, then follow the procedure again.

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] gamblodar:
Is that download mode? I got to that and revived via LG Bridge. I'm at Pie - 1 Joly 2019 security patch, kernel 4.9.12, build PKq1.190202.001, software V20a.IND-XX
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] gamblodar:
I forgot to mention my bootloader is still unlocked.

Should I re-lock then go through 9008 steps? Would that give me the best change of success?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Android#:
When you used LG Bridge you overwrote the abl_a and the LAF partitions (When you first unlocked bootloader, abl_a was replaced with v35 engineering bootloader and both laf partitions were erased to get access to fastboot menu that allows the unlocking of bootloader and flashing of files in fastboot, but using the LG Bridge, you reverted these partitions to stock). With stock partitions you cannot flash or boot Twrp in fastboot menu. You gotta follow Xsavi's guide at:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207

Start with 'Flashing the engineering bootloader' steps 1 through 4, then skip the 'Unlocking the bootloader' 1 through 4 parts as your bootloader is already unlocked, but do the step 5 through 6 to gain access to fastboot. Then you can boot and/or flash twrp. I personally just use fastboot to boot twrpxxx.img then use twrp menu to flash twrpxxx.img onto the phone just to make sure it sticks. Hope this helps.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
You dont need step 5 and 6 as you already have fastboot command. By doing that you lose download mode and that means if you ****ed up your device is now paperweight unless you wanna waste time unbricking it as theirs no tutorials on comfiguring patch and xml files to use qpst to flash.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

if you had bootloader unlocked and flashed back original kdz or firmware lg bridge, or whatever then yes you need to relock bootloader and redo the steps.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] gamblodar:
OK Thanks for the tips.

I re-enabled OEM lock, rebooted, 9008-mode, overwrote the abl_a partition, rebooted to fastboot, fastboot oem unlock successful. Flashing the ablpiestock.img fails, and then I'm back to green screen.

I may just be cursed...
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] R800x_user:
Rename the ablpiestock to just abl before flashing the abl. That seems to be the issue.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
might just be your oled or your device issue. do lg up kdz restore using refurbrish which will erase everything. I never do os or software upgrades using lg up or bridge.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nottoosmart:
Ok, some of you may remember me from the Wizard world. I am the chef for the "Jag" series and "NTS" of roms there. They are old roms I know, but then i decided to be stupid and went to the SP world with a Moto Q9h, 6 months in, I miss my touch screen. I have an AT&T Tilt on the way now. So, to the main point of this post.

Where do I start with unlocking the Tilt, and also, Since I am on AT&T what is the deal with the radios. I know I want to use a non standard ROM on this phone since bloat ware pisses me off.

How do i determine what radio with what rom and so on?

Thanks for your help. I have tried to search the forum for answers but I am totally lost here. Guess I need to leave behind the world of the Wizard and one radio for all roms. LOL.

I missed you guys!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pachjo:
Re the unblocking I think that id the CID Unlock guff you have to run (don't quote me, my phone was already unlocked)

Then read the pages on flash tutorial which turns out to be easy to do and then pick a ROM to flash and away you go :)

Wow 738 posts and you don't know how to read stickys.

Check the links in my sig (and just about anyone elses) or the sticky in just about every forum for the kaiser.

welcome back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nottoosmart:
Ok, So just to test my understanding, I need to check each ROM release and see which HardSPL they used to make the ROM.

Example:

The Garmin.DK.1 WM 6.1 Premium ROM states the instructions are to install HardSPL 3.56. I have read how to do this and it seems pretty self explanitory in the instructions. After that, then I flash the rom, once the rom is complete, I do a hard reset on the phone.

Am I correct in those steps?

Now, my next question.

I have read here in the wiki that I need to ensure that I am using the correct Radio for my phone. Confused here a little bit.

Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 has this little disclaimer on the second post,

Does this mean I have to hunt down a specific version of the radio in order to use this ROM?

Thanks again for the help.

738 posts does not mean I should know how to read a sticky. Most of the stickys on the Wizard forum werent stickys when I read them....

And I have worked with alot of the authors of those stickys too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
There are a few things you want to do:

First, install a hardspl I would recommend 3.28, 3.29, or 3.56

Second, security unlock your device

Third, Flash a Rom. A majority of the rom's here come with radio's. The best radio's available right now are 1.65.20.29 (great with getting a quick gps fix and fairly stable) 1.58.25.17 (which is compatible with almost every cooked rom here which offers great battery life and fairly stable reception at least in my area) or the newest available radio which is in my signature (offers decent gps fix, great reception and a decent battery life.

It is easier to learn as you go rather than attempt to cram it in all at once.

Good luck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nottoosmart:
Thank you red.

I just dont want to brick my tilt first attempt. I guess what im looking for is a quick rom, very stable and has no bloatware.

I think iwill work on the device with standard rom first so that I can learn the device itself. Then i will start reading rom release posts...... every page.

I like to have all info before i take the first step. expecially on something this expensive.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
It has come to my attention that the H873 is not (yet) rootable, and may never receive a root. Though that is a bummer, while looking for possible ways to root, I have read many forum-posts relating to the conversion of a H872 device to a H873, in order to receive the Android 9 update. So, is the vice-versa possible? Can I change my H873 to the H872, and root it from there? Any answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DuringSummer:
No. You will brick your device.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
Thanks for the reply. Soft brick, or Hard brick? Has it been confirmed that bricking will occur? If so, then how did people swap from H872 to H873, all without bricking their phone, and without the need for root?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DuringSummer:
Hard. People can change H872 to H873 and install Android 9 on it is because they're still installing an official OS on their phones.

Rooting and installing Custom ROM requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery.

Installing a custom Recovery over a locked bootloader can cause a hard brick.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
Don't get me wrong. I mean to flash the official stock Firmware of the H872 onto my H873, so, there is no rooting/custom recovery/custom ROM required. I have already rolled back to Android 7 for the H873, so I know how to use LG UP and things of the like.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DuringSummer:
What is it that you want to do? If you don't want to root, why bother flashing 872 firmware to your 873? Do you not already have the latest update on H873?

I'll say this once again, flashing H872 onto H873 will not get you root. If your plan is to convert your H873 to H872 and then root it, it will still fail. Because you need an unlocked bootloader to root.

The only two devices to get unlocked bootloader are H870 (EU) and H872 (T-Mobile).
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
Aren't there unofficial ways to unlock the H872? And even if there aren't, if I were to convert to the H872, will that not allow me to unlock via the official website? Also, i don't really care which model I convert to, so long as it works. I am willing to convert to H870, or the US997; It does not matter.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DuringSummer:
The "official" method won't work because even if you flash H870/US997 firmware to your H873 you still can't unlock your device as the "unlocked code" required to unlock BL is tied to your device ID and IMEI, you changing your firmware will not change that.

Same with H872. The H872 can be unlocked because T-Mobile does not lock their bootloader, you changing the firmware of your H873 to H872 will not allow you to unlock. And very likely you'll end up with a hard brick from which you can't recover.

If you still want to be experimental, go ahead.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
Thanks. I'll ask around on more forums, and see if I can do something. Worse case scenario, I either wait for an unofficial root to be released, or just try swapping for a H872. Again, thanks for the help.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DuringSummer:
There won't be "official" or even "unofficial" unlock for the phone. The bootloader is locked by the carrier and therefore there won't be any official unlock, and the phone is old and the development scene for this phone isn't as impressive and this is why there won't be any unofficial unlock method.

Your best bet is swapping your model with H870/H872/US977
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
There is hope! 6 days ago, somebody was asking a question for the H873. It seems that they're trying to form a root. In addition to that, not too long ago, there was an app that gave root access. I'm not sure if it's permanent, though, and, apparently, since it's not done, it gives all apps root access, instead of the ones that you grant root access to. I don't think this scene is dead, given those two forums. Guess we'll just have to keep our chins up.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ThisizAkib4747:

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 10109536:
I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I remember following a guide off of XDA, so, it should be around here somewhere. Also, if you haven't already, I'd recommend factory resetting after an upgrade/downgrade. My phone used to lag as well, but, after factory-resetting, it works like a charm. I wish you luck on your venture. Make sure to use the correct firmware! Apparently, it'll brick the device if you flash a different model's firmware.

When I switched over to T-Mobile last Christmas, I had hard time to make call and to receive call due to different GSM frequencies used by AT&T. I could only use data to make call via WhatApps. Also, AT&T disabled WiFi calling in my Moto Z2 Force, so that was really bad. I could not get a non carrier specific Moto Z2 Force anymore. That's why I bought Z4 and non-carrier specific. It works for AT&T and T-Mobile without any problem + WiFi calling too !

Hi there,

I've been trying to build Lineage OS 16 for my Zenfone 4 Max and I've been running into a problem. The build went fine for a while but it ended up failing with the error:

SELinux: The following domains violate the Treble ban against use of the binder_in_vendor_violators attribute: gx_fpd hal_fingerprint_msm8937 mm-qcamerad

. I have searched on google and on this forum for what the error means and I can't find anything. Can anyone tell me what it means and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Sands207:
Is SELinux set to permissive on this particular build?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ThatWeirdAndrew:
Yes, it is.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Sands207:
I would try setting it to enforcing and trying again, changing after the build is done may be your only option. The reason it fails is because running permissive causes safety net to fail, which is a violation to build and distribute. I don't know much more than that but hopefully it helps. You also could try recompiling without that binder or removing the binder in question and see if the build finishes.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ThatWeirdAndrew:
So I changed

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE

in my device's BoardConfig.mk file from

androidboot.selinux=permissive

to

This shows the bigger picture of SELinux policy and how it is implemented https://source.android.com/security/selinux/implement#key_files
