[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetel_431:
hello guys

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6633) (android 5.1.1) and it's rooted.

so recently I wanted to update my phone and after I downloaded the update from the official software update app and tried to install it my phone restarted and then a notification showed that the installation wasn't successful.

so I searched and found out that it was because of the root, but I wasn't able to unroot. by the way, I rooted my phone with kingroot app. I deleted the kingroot app and then installed super su but I got su binary occupied error that I wasn't able to solve.

now I'm here asking for help to update my phone.

I also found an article about flashfire so I wanted to know that is it safe to use it. is it possible to lose data?

by the way, I know before doing anything I should do a backup so do you guys know a good way to do a backup? (I can't use the official software for pc)

I just wanted to add that I don't have that much knowledge about this stuff so it will be a big help if you explain things a little bit more.

Thanks a lot ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
Is there anyone experiencing this? I have re-flashed again and its the same. Only why i can get it stable is to install an update from apk mirror and then unistall the update in applications. Unfortunately when my phone reboots it happens again and have to do the same thing over and over.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
It seems to be issue with gesture controls. I seen some had this issue with Decembers update. By reverting back to buying control fixes it temporary. Anyone know how to fix this or will I have to wait for an update?

i did that thing where you disable S2U2. launch the camera app, cover the lens, put it on standby, wait a bit, then turn it back on. this made the framerate good but lighting bad. The only downside to this was you were able to see the full effect of the fireworks, and made it seem to disappear quick.

however it could have been worse, you all know how terrible the framerate could have been, and the fireworks would be too bright, you wouldnt even be able to enjoy it or tell what type of firework it was, just bright blurs.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
are you serious?? wow! small world lol!

When i got home i was only able to light some firecrackers and bottlerockets, since fireworks are illegal here in Everett. Even sparklers are illigal! atleast that's what a cop told me a few years ago lol.

That's a darn good video taken from your kaiser.

What kind of settings did you have while recording?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
well when you cover up the lens, put it on standby...that trick...i believe it cancels all settings. i mean normally i have it on -2 brightness and auto white balance, but i dont think it matters when you disable night mode.

standyby as in... push the power button on the side of the device, now your screen is black, your device is on standby. then turn it back on and make sure while still covering it the screen appears black for another extra second. you may have to try it a few times before that actually works.

[General Questions and Answers] LGZACRO:
Hi,

I have BV9800Pro with Android Pie (MediaTek P70) and now I noticed that after reboot, some banking apls and lockmypix app has problem with fingerprint. Jf I go to settings, remove it and add it again, then all is ok again with all apls, but after reboot, banking apps + lockmypix dows not allow for me to unlock uaing fingerprint because "biometric data changed" as one app tells me.

Any ideas? Has any one had such issue? How to fix this?

P.S., i Have tried ro disable xposed and magisk, nothing helped, only factory reset, but after that, I couldn't identify what caused this issie to come back again.

P.P.S., if I have let's say 2 fingerprints saved, and delete any of them, all appa back to normal until I reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] PoochyX:
Just a issue that had developed while you was building your daily driver

Has anyone faced something like that? Personally, I think some file is being overwritten after reboot and it might cause this issue. That's the only logical explanation I can figure out.

(managed to fix it)

I have a samsung j5 (2015 sm-J500F).

I had root for a while, I am pretty comfortable with it, but while searching for ways to make a peace of software work, I turned on a setting in supersu, and it got the lock thingy, from which I tried to get a new os, I got one, but it kept failing, tried a few more, failed. Found the one I used a while back, but while flashing it, I moved my cable.... So it unplugged and then it started flashing the blue "An error has occurred while updating device software,....." the screen wouldn't go to sleep mode, so the phone battery reached 0%... Now I am in a constant "bootloop" because of the full brightness error screen draining the battery before it can get charged enough to run properly. It is resetting over and over again, and I don't get enough time to flash the os....... Now the question is, how can I turn off the screen, so I would have enough time to flash the os?

Please help me,

James. :( :( :( :(

Edit: I smehow got into the screen, where the battery is on screen, no charging showing, just a battery with lightning in the middle of it, gonna let it rest, maybye it will charge, since the brightness is low and the background is black

thx.

IT FIXED ! I am very happy!

Hello,

Would anyone happen to know the different TAC codes for the Galaxy Fold Z?

Thank you,
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] khalmika:
Here's what I've done. Yesterday I installed package disabler pro+, which kinda killed my phone. I didn't disable anything, but the phone froze, and when I rebooted it, it was bootlooping. So I did a factory reset.

Today the play store was bugged. In a brain fart I had, I unisntalled any updates on the Play Services. Then the store bugged, I couldn't do anything, it was only a button with "log in" and couldn't go past that. So I installed apk's from apkmirror for both of them (google play store and services).

Now most of the apps and games I've been using seems not compatible. May this have anything to do with the apk's I installed?

Maybe a factory reset should do the work?

Thanks in advance!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hwoarang626:
do you need to Hard Reset after every ROM upgrade???? coz after you upgrade every thing gets erased
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrDerrickC:
Yes you do.

Use Sprite backup to backup all you things before you flash a new ROM on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheetah2k:
How to hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mahmood:
1. Pull out the stylus.

2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and

ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.

3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:

4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the

VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other

button to cancel the reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hwoarang626:
after the device starts ,, u wont be able to format untill the installation of the programs finishes ,, so you mean after the installation of the programs i need to hard reset ?????

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] papimuzo:
Second that! I never (not yet?) succeeded to make a hard reset. You guess that till now I haven't made a hard reset after flashing a ROM, just backup with Sprite. Conclude that it is not necessary.

HTH.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hwoarang626:
the answer is yes or no
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
Are you sure or just think so?

With the Kaiser you needed to do an extra hartreset after a flash, but with most other you don't need to do that.

Because flashing a ROM normally flashes everything (except for your internal storage) so no need to do an extra hard reset.

I don't know what's the case with the Diamond...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] WM_69:
Remember that after you flash a rom, system performs a SOFT Reset and NOT a Hard Reset. So always its better to do a hard reset after every flash, to fully clear the memory from those hidden or system files from the previous installation.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ch3vr0n:
Phone is rooted with magisk, running Feb '20 build.

Last month (early Feb) for a split second, I saw the message 'preparing system update' when going to settings - system - system update. Then it went to 'system up to date' (back then it was obviously running Jan '20 update). So I had to download the factory image, patch the boot image and flash it in fastboot to be updated and rooted.

Saw the March update was available, went to system update again, no and behold. Same story. Split second 'preparing system update' and then nothing.

Oddly enough device updated to the januari update through magisk ota procedure just fine.

Has anyone else encountered this? How did you fix it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] newkydawg:
I encountered this last month. Did the Magisk OTA update like you for January and wanted to do the Feb OTA update but it never became available on my phone. Just checked System Update and it says system is up to date. Haven't seen the "preparing system update" for March - yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Same here. Magisk OTA method in January then the preparing message then up to date last month and this month.

Seems Google is on to us.

When I get home I am going to unroot via Magisk, not reboot and check again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jlokos:
Exact same thing on my wife's phone; it just says system is up to date with January update. There has to be something going on because there are a number of users who have experienced this issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
Use This guide: Do #4 'keep data' then #9 to root.

It only takes 5 minutes.

Note: Before you start disable all your Magisk modules.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ch3vr0n:
So long story short: download factory image and remove -w (wipe flag), flash everything, patch boot image with magisk, and flash image via fastboot. Now what I don't see (or I overlook it), do you flash the patched image via

Flash boot patched_boot.img or to both boot_a and boot_b?

#9. A. 11.

fastboot flash boot --slot all magisk_patched.img

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
[MENTION=4846088]willyumlu[/MENTION]

Flash the Factory Image, the OTA update is what you are having problems getting installed.

Also, if you are rooted take a look at #9. B. OTA Installation
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] willyumlu:
Yeah it's not showing any OTA updates since ~January. I think there's some corrupt folder/file permissions after one of the OTAs or something - I can't use a log viewer app to check the logs. Tried to just flash stock Feb thru fastboot like you suggested and afterwards, even with the stock boot, I couldn't find any updates. I'll try to do a factory reset when I have time to see if that solves the issue

EDIT: Got it working after I used https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/ to reflash. When I tried factory resetting by follow [MENTION=4810220]Homeboy76[/MENTION] 's guide (w/o using the laptop), it still wouldn't find an OTA. The site got me back onto Feb stock and I rerooted and applied the OTA afterwards
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
Glad you got the OTA:)

I'm curious what # was, "factory resetting by follow [MENTION=4810220]Homeboy76[/MENTION] 's guide (w/o using the laptop), it still wouldn't find an OTA."
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ch3vr0n:
factory image method didn't work (flashing feb build and patching boot image). pixel repair isn't available in belgium. Still no OTA
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] willyumlu:
#3b

Maybe a factory image with -w would work? I'm not sure what exactly the pixelrepair site does but it seemed like it was doing a sideload after wiping data since it asks you to go into recovery mode
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ch3vr0n:
Don't care what the pixelrepair does, as I said. I can't use it. Probably Geo restriction.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
I was pointing out the benefits of flashing the factory image #4 'keep data' an re- rooting #9. So, I was surprised to see factory reset in your response. :):cool::good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] willyumlu:
Yeah I'm suggesting flashing the factory image without removing "-w" to do what the site did since you can't access it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Ch3vr0n:
Yeah I ain't doing that in the middle of a week after work. I can't go without phone during the week if something goes wrong, or spend hours after restoring the auto-backup and setting up mail etc all over again. Maybe over the weekend.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] vwfreak2001:
I had to Flash the factory Image too. No Ota arrived since the Dec 2019 update.

I remived the -w Option and everything is fine. No data loss.

Patching the boot.img with magisk didn't work. Magisk 7.5.1 always crashed. I tried Magisk 7.5.0 and everything worked.

Can I hide the rounded corners on the device, possibly without root, even making the screen size "slightly smaller" ? (Android Pie)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Typhus_:
No. The corners you see are there even when you're booting the device. They're impossible to get rid of.

I only see the borders in lock screen now, but I can live with it ^^
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Just keep in mind that apps like notch remover will cause uneven degradation of AMOLED display, it's possible that you'll have different colors in fullscreen apps in places where the top and bottom bar usually are.

Example (3 button nav bar):

Sure. But now your screen size is smaller than when you have rounded corners. But hey, if you prefer it that way...who am I to state otherwise.

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Raffhell:
The slightly smaller screen size is not a big issue for me. I liked the phone even more if it were 5-5,5'' (I come from a 4,7'' phone)

The amoled degradation, however is a bit concerning. Maybe I'll try to like the borders.

I don't use the notch remover on landscape, as it works bad there. Only on potrait mode. Usually is "app safe".

OT: I hope will get the Android10 soon :(
