[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
Ok so i will try to go straight to the point.

I got OnePlus 7 that i bought from Aliexpress (8gb and 256gb) the thing is that im almost 90% sure this phone is defective.

You can use teh phone correctly for about 2 days then all of a sudden it will freeze completely and then you CANT do absolutely anything else, not even turn it off by holding power button ..

So i just left it there until it ran out of battery.

Then i charge while inside the fastboot and when i try to boot it is in a boot loop , doesnt even go into the boot animation

and to make things even more interesting i tried to wipe data guess what? The phone screen suddendly started blinking until again it ran out of battery. (you could see for a split of a second every time the screen blinks the progress bar of the wipe but it never moved from initial point).

So yea at this point is pretty obvious that something is wrong so i bought a Mi9T Pro meanwhile but i dont want this phone to go to waste.

Anyone out there has a clue of what could be? I wanna attempt to fix it myself if possible.

Aliexpress just gave a bit of the money back and the company Hongkong Goldway didnt give a f and they even go as far as to pretend they don't know what i'm saying ( the language barrier when it beneficial for them ).

This was gonna be a short explanation but i guess it was neccesary to be this long to explain correctly whats going on.

BTW: the only way yo make the phone work again for 2 days mayebe 3 is by using the MSM tool , any other method doesnt work.

also when it was working i filled the whole 256gb to kinda check the internal memory for corruption but it actually filled up without any problem so idk .
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] aaycce:
The problem isn't the phone, the problem is you. Clearly you stuffed the phone up yourself by trying to mod/root it and now you have ruined it further by flashing incorrect images to the device.

You shouldn't be coming to XDA when the fault is entirely on you, I've seen it all before.

[MENTION=6064029]PriPhaze[/MENTION] is your device stock(bootloader locked) or modified in any way?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
Really? Lol it's that the best you could say? Trying to sound smart eh ? lmao

Clearly you don't know what you saying so you are not the person I'm looking for but "thanks" for such "helpful" respond.

Hi, the device is unlocked right now. I didn't install any other ROM other than OOS.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Thank you for the reply. Is the bootloader just unlocked or do you have installed anything like twrp, magisk or others?

Which version of OxygenOS do you have?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
Thanks to you

Ahh yes twrp was installed but now it's inaccessible .

After the phone freezed I can no longer use twrp.

Also yes magisk was installed to restore my apps using swift backup.

OOS version is the last one available.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
It might be a good idea to use unbrick tool and clean flash the stock OxygenOS, recovery and remove root to see if it behaves better.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
I did, same behaivor ; in 2 days more less it will freeze and reboot and then system will be gone.

And so i need to use MSM tool again to get it back running. The only thing i have not tried is to use a custom ROM insetad of OOS
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Maybe I did not understand correctly: Did you tried the stock rom without unlocking the bootloader and magisk? Or did you immediately unlock and install magisk immediately and then test?

The stock rom is stable and should work, otherwise a hardware issue can be the problem why you have those issues.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
Yea tried with locked bootloader and then unlocked .

So yea maybe i wasn't clear enough but what i meant with the first post is that im 90% sure that here is a hardware issue but i dont really know what could be and there is not repair service in my country.

Thats why the only option i have left is to figure out what is wrong and change that part.

Iwas hoping someone could guide me to figure out which part i need to change.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Hmm, I can't tell you which part to exchange cause it can be the processor, flash for example which you cannot exchange. Battery might be an option, but that's not really the culprit imo...
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
Well in any case the cpu and internal memory are in the same board no? so that probably means i would need to change the whole board wich is 250US
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Yes, everything is on board. It's the worst case for, sadly...

Or you buy a device with broken screen and exchange the board /display. Depends how much you have to spent for this at all.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] pawelmiernik:
Ah yes, the common misconception that power shuts it off. Nope, not this phone. You have to hold power and volume up together to power off the phone when it crashes. Make sure you're using the latest platform tools (adb/fasboot) to unlock your phone. Make sure oem unlocking is enabled in developer settings after you've unlocked, having it disabled for some reason does screwy things. Mine was disabled once when I downgraded to Android 9 using the all in one tool available on xda, I thought I bricked the phone because it wouldn't boot after a reboot. Flash the latest oos twice through the system local upgrade feature, this will put the current oos on all partitions. Use the correct twrp, the unified versions found on xda 3.3.1-75 and 3.3.1-76 work well for me. The installer zip for those can be used in magisk to flash twrp after an OTA update before reboot. So, local upgrade 100% -> magisk modules "+" twrp 3.3.1-75 unified installer zip -> reboot to recovery -> flash magisk 20.3 at least (20.4 is available now). Do this twice so that everything is the same version on all the partitions. Lastly restore apps with swift backup without data, I know it's not ideal but may be necessary because some app's data may be corrupt and causing this. Good luck. Of course at any time you have it running you can reboot in safe mode (touch and hold restart until the dialogue pops up) and see how long you can use it without any third party apps to confirm that it is an app you installed.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Casper112694:
Man I had the exact same problem as you and I got it fixed this morning after nights of fastboot commands trial and error found this thread xdaforums.com/oneplus-7/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-t3937478

Tried a few times before it worked but saved my phone all I had was fastboot mode and no recovery make sure to manually flash all fastboot commands you will then get stock recovery back wipe using all 3 options go 1st 2nd 3rd and then 1st wipe again after reboot phone might hang just force reboot and fixed
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
I really appreciate all the replies really but hmm im guessing there's a misunderstanding on what im saying.

I do know how to flash and recover one plus devices using MSM tool if neccesary, also to flash the fastboot rom .

The thing here is that everytime i recover the phone and all seems stable and working good , after a2 days more less it will random freeze of death and you cant even reboot holding power button NOTHING! is completely freezed.

So yea, thats pretty much it, i have tried already all that you said so far :c.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] israrkhan:
Hi! I've dumped a stock 1.37.409.3 rom, and repacked it with the 1.37.707 core.

As I've just read, it is most likely not possible to build a 1.37.707 with a part02.raw based on 1.37.409.3

Is anyone interested in trying to flash their Diamond? ;)

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
My battery drops off suddenly when it gets low, went from 8% to 5% in seconds.

Also randomly turns off when it's low especially if I'm using something that is a battery drainer.

Should I get the phone warranty replaced?

Have only had phone since Christmas.

On rooted Feb patch.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ydraulikos:
Yes.. Normally, during the discharge, the voltage drops. A damaged/heavily used battery cannot maintain the voltage above the cutoff value and the device shuts down to prevent damage to the electronics.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Draining your battery that low should only be in rare cases. It's not good at all for long term battery health. Grab the Accubattery app and use it through several charging cycles. It is not a "battery drain" app, but it will accurately assess your current battery condition (capacity). After a few full charging sessions it will return (under the health tab) the capacity of your battery relative to a new battery in terms of mAh and percentage. It will discard charging cycles started before below 20% so be sure to read up on how to use it properly. Don't disconnect until the app tells you the battery is full (don't rely on the phone display). A couple of 20-100% charging cycles will give you health results. https://accubattery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/209507189-Tab-3-battery-health-screen

As for "should I get the phone warranty replaced", that is an open ended question. If your battery health is below 90% I would say definitely yes you would have a case. Where you bought the phone will have a lot to do with whether you are successful or not. Having some kind of proof will help you out. If direct from Google, be prepared to jump through some hoops like factory resetting your phone, etc. but you will eventually get an RMA if you are polite, persistent and provide evidence. Elsewhere, it depends on the return policy. Some places are better than others. Best of luck. :good:

Yeah you shouldn't drain your battery that low but manufactures always keep some safety barriers and this shouldn't happen to be honest for a relatively new phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
I do cell phone repair so I know how the batteries are supposed to perform, but I shouldn't get a sudden drop like that after 3 months maybe at 2 years. I've just been trying to figure if it's hardware, but I'm assuming it is.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] keaheng:
Get a log using BBS. Your cellphone repair skill has nothing to do with the battery drain. Could be the process running in the background or your using bad written apps.

i tried to install xiaomi.eu rom and i acidentally wiped the system partition. i cant access the internal storage and flash a rom in there. can someone please help me now i dont have an os installed. I cant do adb sideload as well. this is the only phone i have and cant buy a new one.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mrnannu:
Transfer rom from your pc to phone from twrp and flash that's it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] pleasehelpmemi9:
it doesnt allow me to put anything in the phone. theres a bunch of folders with weird names.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mrnannu:
Understood. Format your phone from the wipe this will delete everything as you don't have any option right now. After this reboot to recovery and transfer rom from your pc remember to mount storage and flash the rom no further wipe is required.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] pleasehelpmemi9:
this is a screenshot of my internal storage of my phone. I am unable to put the rom in it
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mrnannu:
It's encrypted that's why you are getting like this, just format from twrp this will be solved.

One more thing, have you tried updating your twrp to latest version?

Because latest version supports encryption.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] pleasehelpmemi9:
Yes, i do have twrp to latest version of twrp-3.3.1-0-cepheus.img

Should I use stock rom (MIUI) or can I use xiaomi.eu?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mrnannu:
No, it clears everything which are encrypted. Once formatted you will be able to see your phone memory in your pc and transfer rom for installation.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sonic997:
Hello,

I have s7 G930FD. I wonder why I cannot encrypt my phone after flashed a custom kernel

I love stock ROM but hate the bloatware, so I flash Alexandar devbase ROM for daily use.

However, I even try to flash the TGP kernel zip immediately after flashed the Alexandar devbase ROM with "noroot" and "encrypt" wordings on the zip file.... The phone still boot in UN-encrypted mode.

I just want to ask is it impossible to encrypt for the ROM with custom kernel?

Is there any means to encrypt my phone with custom kernel in the world of Android?

No encryption makes me uncomfortable.

Thanks all of you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xVincentx:
Well it *is* theoretically possible after booting it up for the first time by visiting Settings --> Biometrics/Security --> Encrypt Device/Phone, I HIGHLY recommend you either do it before you start using it as a daily driver and reboot at least twice to test if it's working. If it works you're good to go. If it enters a bootloop, ensure that you go back into your custom recovery and hard wipe (in TWRP this involves clicking the "Format Data" button and typing yes) before using your phone again. Also Android's permissions are very tight and everything can be accessed either way when your phone's on and you have root. On top of that, Samsung forces you to enter in your password to reboot or power down the normal way, and even *IF* someone did manage to steal your data, they'd have a bit of a time digging through it anyway if you just use Samsung's AppLock feature. Trust me, it'd come in real handy if you're paranoid.

[IMG="Energy Ring Logo"]https://i.ibb.co/gSpG96d/energy-ring-logo.png[/IMG]Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.

​

Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.

Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.

Out of the box features:-

✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring

✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level

✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise

✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)

✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level

✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)

✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration

✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device

​

All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!

This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? ;) .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.

Accessibility Service Requirement:

Android requires Energy Ring to run as an Accessibility Service, to be able to display on Lock Screen. It does not read/monitor any data, whatsoever. This is especially useful for people who have disability to read numbers and work better with visual data.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Alrich:
Hi I'm on MIUI 11 Android 10 fully stock with latest updates to all apps. I did a factory reset 5 minutes ago and setup everything as I normally do. I disabled all ads and unnecessary hidden analytics etc.

The problem right now is Clear Data Button is greyed out for all apps. And all apps in the app manager show 0b storage usage. Every single app shows 0b storage used even though I know some apps like Call of Duty use over 1Gb.

When I just did the reset the button was fine. But the moment I finish customizing the buttons go grey and storage shows 0b.

I am not rooted so there's no way I'm deleting a system app. Is it some setting that I'm changing somewhere? Please help me, I don't want to Factory Reset again.

EDIT : PROBLEM SOLVED

I found the solution by checking one setting at a time. The culprit was the Security app. If you disable USAGE ACCESS to the SECURITY app the bug occurs.

Make sure you change back the usage access specifically.

For those wondering where "usage access" is in settings, under "privacy protection", "special permissions", then "usage access".

Or you can just search for "usage access" in the settings app.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
Hi I have just got a diamond and when I receive an MMS message the picture is saved on the phone as a very small thumbnail and not as the original picture that was sent. HTC helpline tell me this is how the phone is supposed to work and cannot be changed - does anyone know of a work around to stop the picture being reduced as this seems pretty stupid?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
I call total bollocks on whoever told you that!

It's O2 that crop the pictures, and not the phone.

Just tried it on my t-mobile sim and happily sending 1280x960 photo's without any cropping.

Seems O2 still limit the size of the MMS messages, which is one of the reasons i left them years ago, along with their ludicrously high data charges and **** customer service.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
Thanks for the response - I have just changed from an XDA Orbit which was also on O2 without this issue - do you know if O2 have more than 1 set of settings for MMS?

I will be changing from O2 at the earliest their data tariffs are absurd in this day and age - for both web and email 4MB caost £5 - just web browsing and they will give you 200MB for 7.50.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
Actually its not the sending of the MMS that's the issue it's the receiving. When I send them the other person receives without any issues when someone sends to me they are cropped
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericsson68:
When you say cropped - can you post an example? Not calling you stupid or anything but are you seeing the tiny little picture in the thread and doing what I stupidly did and assumed that was it but for some odd reason you have to fiddle and click on the tiny picture to get the big one?

Or have you turned threading off and not seeing this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
Yep it's the picture that appears in the thread of the conversation view you get for MMS and SMS. when you click on the picture icon it opens a full page with the tiny picture in the middle - if you try and save that picture it is only about 4K. I've clicked on properties from the message and it just gives the details of the file and says its 4K. The picture that was sent was much larger
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
how do I turn the threading off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] renegade:
Solution

Unzip attached and import in ur Diamond using Resco Explorer then Restart. It fixed the problem 4 me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DexterDuck:
Thanks for the MMS fix - that has made a huge improvement. The pictures are still being compressed but they are large enough to view on the screen now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kutthoat5150:
how exactly are you suppose to import this fix using resco explorer??? i am having the same problem as you guys and would like to fix this problem too, thanks for your help
