Does this fix overheating during charge?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Deleted member 11824373:
Thermals doesn't fix overheating issue.

Infact it generates even more heat by eliminating cpu throttling , which doesn't lower our device performance even at higher temperatures. If you're thinking it reduces temp. Then don't try it.
[HTC Breeze] jjmorris100:
Hello all,

first let me apologize for the long post, and my noobiness. I'm new to the smartphone world, I've sucessfully flashed my Kaiser (from work). Also, I would like to thank everyone who is cooking!

I have the HTC Mteor, which I'm trying to Flash to WM6.1.

When I got it (used), I did a hard reset, and it went back to WM5 in Russian.

I believe I successfully unlocked it, and can now get to the tri-color screen.

It reads:

BBEE100

IPL-0.90

BREE100

SPL-2.05

Every ROM (including the original from HTC) opens, forces the phone to the tri-color screen, and then dies. Error 260, 262, etc.

I've searched the forums, and read that the SPL should be 1.10, but I can't get that to install either.

Any help/suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff
[HTC Breeze] mrwm:
install this official rom from HTC

http://rapidshare.com/files/66085556/RUU_BREE100_1.34.261.1_1.38.00.10_HTCRUS_SHIP.exe

Its for RUS QTEK_AO7.:cool:

Then you will have SPL 1.10:cool:
[HTC Breeze] Wigo:
I have similar problem

I had ROM 6.1 from Futureshock...still problem with radio (my phone couldn´t accessble but signal icon shows good signal, radio version 1.38.0000), so I decided flash some original ROM. Aftet that my booting stuck on HTC logo or Windows Mobile logo. So I can´t use normal way to flashing. Only from SD card or first turn on phone to boot loader mode and than attach usb cable and start flashing. From SD card (where is renamed ROM BREEIMG.NBH) after enter into bootloader mode start loading and than just turn to trhreecolour menu where is BREE100 - IPL-0.90 and BREE100-1.10.0000 and doesn´t want continue. If I flash ROM via USB cable (first go to threecolour mode, than attach cable) than run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and flash process is being started but always die on 2%, than autoreboot and again stuck on HTC logo.

I tried soft reset, I tried lot of ROM versions HTCRUS, HTCEUR, QTEKEUR, FUTURESHOCK but still same problem during flash ROM stop on 2%...

Any ideas how to back life to my MTeoR?

Can I use application like MTTY? Could me help this program?

Thanks for any help...

Huawei Mate 20 X comparison @ GSMarena

What do you think? Will this be the Mate 20 X killer?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Derpling:
The 5G might kill the battery, but it does looks good
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] casinca:
That back gaming gimmick design isn't my cup of tea, looks awkward and that big tencent game logo. Also these triggers buttons are useless to me.

If you're a heavy phone gamer its definitely worth it though.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
I just saw this in xda news

Looks great.

Has to be more affordable than the s20 ultra by a wide margin. $715

Are these phones easy to boot loader unlock and root?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerky_san:
Same question.. bootloader unlock and hopefully custom firmware as well? Lineage OS or something?

Did some research and the bands won't really work with AT&T.. Only 2 of 4 LTE. Sad face..
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
One thing to note , you won't get many updates on these phones.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jojokoo:
But I think there should be an option to lower the speed to LTE. I'm guessimg but not sure. But anyway even if it doesn't, I don't mind since 95% of the time I'll be using wifi. So battery won't be an issue.

That makes no sense. Although these are niche phones they are flagship in their own right considering the specs and peice.

I say updates will be regular. They have to be again according to the hefty price tag and high spec sheet.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Remember the Shark doesn't support TMobile bands at all 4g LTE. Maybe if they introduce an international model it might.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hack2geo:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jojokoo:
As i look at videos of the bs3 pro I feel the phone is just a bit too small. The aspect ratio is a disappointment. Everything else obviously is perfect otherwise. I made a cut-out on cardboard based on its size. Its just too small for me.

As for the proposed xiaomi mi 10S, I hope the rumors of it being +7 inch are really true. The 20X is getting mad old crazy fast. Today's mid range phones kill it. About time for new blood.

Think I'll just get the 20x instead til a real big phone with a wide aspect ratio comes along. But honestly, the 16:9 days are all over. Very unfortunate but true.

It actually does look small especially when its horizontal. The 20x looks far bigger.

Tbh, I like wide phones. I love the bs3 pro, don't get me wrong. But it just doesn't look big to me. And I wish I knew the size of the screen itself to compare to that of the 20x.

Btw did you finally buy it? You said you were gonna get it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jojokoo:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Sadly i had to cancel my order, they said that delivery from China takes weeks/months now with the whole Corona thing. On the other side it's not a big problem because i saw on the Global Black Shark web store that the Global model is coming by the end of April. :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] z1c_wh:
I asked wondamobile news about the shark 3 pro, they said near middle april
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jojokoo:
Unfortunately the global version will be more expensive than the China version. Another sad news is Frankie Tech made a battery drain showdown video that he pitted the bs3 pro against other phones with lesser battery life and it failed miserably. It was the first phone to die out against all others. Even the mate 20x 5g with 800 mah less battey capacity beat it.

As a result I'm no longer interested in the bs3 pro. Thought it was a winner. When you toot your phone having a big 5000 mah battery that drains much faster than phones with less battery I'm out big time. Very disappointing. Looks like I'll be buying the mate 20 X.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
But it was the only phone with QHD+ resolution @ 90fps in the test. So it was a more fair battle to set the black shark 3 Pro screen to 1080p resolution @ 60fps.

I'm still going to buy the Black Shark 3 Pro and compair it with my Mate 20 X 5G and see which one i keep. :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jojokoo:
I really hope you're right about that. Makes sense and I hope I'm wrong.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerky_san:
The Asus rog 3 phone seems like a successor to the mate 20x. Doesn't have as big of a screen but has everything else and it can have the bootloader unlocked. XDA just did a review of it a few days ago. It can even have 16gb if ram. 512gb of memory and it's compatible with all US carriers.

Use the MSM tool
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Ayit Boss Geez:
I have, multiple times but the sensors still don't work. I'm not sure the persist partition actually gets flashed in that.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Ayit Boss Geez:
bump, i really need someone to please post their persist partition

even posting the folder mnt/vendor/persist/sensors as a zip would help
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] twinnfamous:
Msm doesn't fix sensor issues especially the issue with fingerprint enrollment.

persist.img fixes the errors.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

You need persist.img which we know already.

It would be a good idea for 7t pro owners to back up their persist.img.

Hopefully someone with a 7t pro will help you soon.

I have 7t pro 5g McLaren TMO and I will share my persist with you but Im not sure that would work without side affects.

Edit.

On a side note it was confirmed on 7t pro 5g McLaren that if you msm to older version and then OTA update to the latest software version it will be fixed. Have you tried this yet ? [MENTION=8769708]Ayit Boss Geez[/MENTION]

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Ayit Boss Geez:

The warranty repair worked as it replaced the main board so I think it was the persist partition. I have also now backed up my persist partition.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:

How do you back up the persist.img and why is it needed?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:
Can I just flash this zip with magisk? I have 7t pro McLaren so j don't have twrp.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] knpk13:
It's not a flashable zip from what I can see. I'm guessing you need to extract persist.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot but I haven't done that before so I don't know the exact commands.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:
Should be fastboot flash persist. Tried before when this happened on my other device and it flashed but still didn't fix. Hopefully it works this time around.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
The issue is that a foreign persist.img will fix sensor calibration data and therefore fix all sensors, cameras etc. But you won't be able to use the fingerprint sensor unless you've restored your own persist.img.

A foreign one will always mismatch and make the fingerprint sensor unavailable. That's why I keep a backup of mine just in case.

Even the MSM Tool won't fix it as it is something device specific that should persist at all times hence persist.img.

EDIT: You can backup EFS by booting TWRP (it doesn't need to decrypt /data):

- Get adb and fastboot on your computer

- "fastboot boot TWRP.img"

- Type in

adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/tmp/persist.img
exit
adb pull /tmp/persist.img persist.img

This will copy the persist partition as an .img file to the /tmp/ folder on your device and the last command will copy it to your computer's user folder.

To do the same in reverse (restoring the persist partition):

adb push PATHONCOMPUTER/persist.img /tmp/persist.img
adb shell
dd if=/tmp/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
exit
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:
So you're saying I won't be able to get it to work by flashing someone else's persist? I ask because I have one right now I was gonna try
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
I don't think so. You can try as there is nothing that really could go wrong or make it worse except it not working afterwards.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:
Damn...looks like another warranty exchange for me then smh. Can't believe flashing Blu spark is what messed it up I never had problems before with that kernel.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Well I ran the 10.0.16 msm and ota'd and it didn't work for me just a heads up.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Ayit Boss Geez:
The persist partition has the sensor signatures and is not changed over updates. also doesn't get flashed over msm (i'm pretty sure). Therefore, its best to back it up as if anything goes wrong on it, such as mine, you can just reflash it and get everything working again. I don't remember how I backed it up, but i think I got the list of the blocks and labels over fastboot or adb and just copied the persist partition over. Just do some google searches. while your at it, you may as well back up the modemst1 and 2 partitions as well as they have the IMEI (I think).
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Ayit Boss Geez:
Also, it's not blu_spark that messes it up as i'm using it. Just make sure to back it up once you get your phone back from the repair.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
I just posted the commands to back it up a few posts before :) MSM Tool doesn't restore it. It contains all sensor configuration and calibration data including the fingerprint sensor. But you won't be able to use the fingerprint sensor if you're not using your own persist.img backup. Everything else would work fine though. And you're correct about modemst1 and modemst2.

I have been writing with him on the blu_spark thread. There was an issue with the fingerprint sensor not working on the 7T due to changing the VerifiedBootState flag. It got fixed with an update of blu_spark but somehow his fingerprint enrollment got corrupted. I can't say if it was coincidence but given that he is the only one with permanent issues, there is probably something else caused it or helped causing it. But I can't tell what and how. This is why backing up persist.img is always a good idea. It seems that it can be easily corrupted.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] lendawg:
Would I be able to boot twrp and try this without root and wiping my device?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
Yes. It only needs adb on a computer and a bootable TWRP.
