[LG V30 Questions & Answers] X_g_v:
I can confirm that disabling Mobile Services Manager before connecting to WIFI/Mobile will prevent the bloatware apps to install. Both KDZ and TWRP flash do the same exact thing.

I have the V30+ US998 before unlocking the bootloader and never have these apps installed itself even after a factory reset, so it must be the US Celluar version only newer updates?

Eh for me I decided to just remove it completely.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Joan_of_Arc:
You can use the apk: LG Package Disabler, to disable any apks you are "not" allowed to if you are rooted. Most apks are able to be disabled with no problems and will greatly improve privacy and battery life.

¡BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DISABLE!

I am not responsible if you disable a system critical application and BRICK your device, it may be reflashable but sometimes it is not. Look up every apk before you disable.

Also when finding apk be sure to get "LG" package disabler, as there are other versions for different brands of phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
You DON'T need any 3rd party apps or root to deal with the issue described here: The bloatware apps downloaded during first setup after a clean install can simply be uninstalled, either from the Apps list in Settings or from the launcher. You can also avoid them altogether by skipping WiFi and Mobile Data during the setup, although that will miss the opportunity to restore your Google cloud backup.

And the sneaky Mobile Services Manager that's causing this travesty can simply be Disabled from the Apps list in Settings. You must Show System Apps using the three-dot menu in order to see it.

Other app removal/freezing techniques and apps can indeed be useful, such as to get rid of the LG tracking apps SRTC and LDB/MDB, which slow down the phone considerably. But that's really outside the topic of this thread.

Also note that many posts on XDA promoting package disabler apps are themselves spam.

Hi - I bought the phone because of the led notification light. But it is not working for WhatsApp or Signal - only for text messages and phone calls. In my view this bug needs to be fixed. There is even an online petition to Nokia about that. Sign too, if you want. You will find the petition on open petition.

I noticed this with my Nokia 5.3 when I received Whatsapp and Messenger messages but notification light didn't blink. It does blink when I get emails via Gmail. What a useless feature. I already sent email to Nokia support and they just said it will be forwarded to appropriate department and my case was closed. Pfff. Not holding my breath.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get Chaperone working on the Titan for VZW customers. This is the one big problem I have yet to find any solution to. Googling this problem is no help, on xda or other.

I know this is a Java issue why it won't work on PIE, but I would think that it would be fine on one of the two Opera browsers. I have tried a number of things (skyfire isn't connecting and Thunderbird requires a login).

Can anyone tell why this isn't working and have a workaround. CSRs and Data techs are friggin morons and wouldn't know if they did officially update GPS or Chaperone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Artok:
I'm having the same problem... :(

Obviously, we can't download the Parent application... Its not that great anyhow.

I've also tried multiple web browsers, and all have the same problem. When entering the '120 second location' period, it never refreshes from that 'pop-up'.

(sounds like a java thing, to me, too) I'm curious as to if this can be 'fixed' by the client end... it might be messed up by vzw, and until they make better, we may be SOL. :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Wait, you get it to run the waiting period? Have you tried the new web interface? Which browser are you using to get the popup to start?

Why cant the get it now app be dumped from a phone and run in esmertec, right?

Hello everyone

I tried to update my Honor 7X yesterday from EMUI5 - EMUI9. The update has downloaded, process started and then at about 7%-10% phone displayed: " update failed please download package in eRecovery" i pressed reboot to erecovery and nothing happened.

Phone remains dead. No button combination works, no LED when USB connected, no vibration nothing. The only sign of life is that it is discovered in device manager as "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface". Another thing Multi-Tool discovers it as connected in fastboot. However no tool can be used as bootloader is locked, FB is locked and User is locked.

Any ideas or is it good for trash already?

Thanx in advance

it happen to my few days ago

i fix it by doing this

on boot press volume up to enter Erecovery and click "download last recovery" something like that, connect to wifi and will check for update and download it .

if Erecovery did not find update then connect your device to hisuite and click "system recovery" and will ask for IMEI to check for update. If hisuite download a update and failed to install it (happened to me ). then go back to Erecovery and ow you can download the last update. if failed to find update try few time and will show up.

also if hisuite did not find update to your device. check it later. the update to my devies show up two day. later i think huawei sign update to your imei.

i hope it will fix your problem :)

EDIT: its happen to my after failed flashing of emiu 9.1 to update my emui 8 in twrp and i end with mix partitions. and this ^ fix it for me
[BLISS ROMS Q&A] dEEkAy2k9:
Hi there guys!

I am currently using my Surface Pro 3 mainly as a tablet for browsing/prime/netflix and spotify.

Since i have a pretty low end Surface Pro 3 (it was good back then when i got it, now it struggles with everyday tasks), i wanted to try out Bliss OS on the Surface Pro 3.

Which Bliss OS Version should i try?

What i have tried so far (live from USB):

Bliss-OS-Yantra-v12.5-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-202003271858_k-k4.19.110-ax86-ga-rmi_m-19.3.4-ax86-q_ld-2.4.100-ax86-ma_dg-_dh-_mg-_gms_cros-wv

Bliss-v11.10--OFFICIAL-20200314-1552_x86_64_k-k4.9.214-ax86-p_m-18.3.5-llvm80_ld-pie-x86_dg-pie-x86_dh-pie-x86

Bliss OS v12.5 got stuck on that fancy boot animation (that round circle thing) and after some time just shut down itself.

Bliss v11.10 did somehow work but the wifi was wonky. I could connect to my 5GHz Network with poor quality, didn't manage to open a single page in firefox and then something crashed. Wifi was off and i could not turn in back on again.

Surface Pen worked as a mouse, Surface Type Cover worked only as a Keyboard. Touchpad did not work except for the "left click". Touching it displays a mouse cursor in the top left corner which i cannot move with the touch pad.

Touch screen worked so far.

I managed to get my k850 and triathlon m720 keyboard/mouse connected via bluetooth.

i could watch something via the joyn app. netflix was not to be found on the play store and the prime video app crashes on start up.

Could you tell me if it's possible to run this on a surface pro 3 as the main os? What Version is stable and which one works? Are there any real guides for the Surface Pro 3 out there? I'd be very happy if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
Hi, I'm looking for an overall guide how to do a full backup and restore of a currently running ROM which includes also all data.

I want to be able to do some tryouts with another ROM and if anything fails or doesn't suite my needs I would like to simply go back to my current setting.

With some research in this forum I already found the follwing related threads. As this seems to be a quite generic topic I did the research mainly in the "crossdevice" section.

Backuping & Restoring IMG files W/O PC

requires root; guide without root is announced but not mentioned

some hints in the direction of "nandroid" but no detailed workflow

Lock/Unlock/Relock Bootloader Using TWRP With DRM keys

only about the bootloader

obviously there are more specific guides in the XZ1c section

All Things XPERIA; Debranding; Rooting & More...

good overview of basic skills regarding flashing, rooting, backup TA, etc.

nothing about full backup data or current ROM

nothing about restore a full backup

Backup your stock ROM without flashing Custom Recovery.

good short description to backup ROM

does this also work for data?

unsure if this is directly applicable to XZ1c

nothing about restoring ROM or data

I would be very pleased if someone who are familiar with this device can give some hints for my questions.

The long story:

Since Sony stopped to distribute security updates for XZ1c I feel forced to consider an alternative OS. I would like to give LinageOS 17.1 a try. Two years ago I had some good experience with that OS on a Z3c, but with th XZ1c it seems to be more complex especially regarding DRM keys etc.

I'm also using banking and payment apps which often stop working with alternative ROMs. Maybe there are some tricks to pass safetynet but at the end you have to really evaluate all your apps to be sure that all is running as expected. If that evaluation fails I don't want to spend much time to return to the current setting which I'm actually very satisfied with. Only missing security updates makes me think more and more of an alternative.

Thank you very much for any hint.

Best regards,

Leo
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
Maybe someone read this and can at least answer some questions. I'm completely not familiar with the processes so maybe my questions sound stupid. Sorry for that.

Is it possible to use fastboot to boot (not install) into TWRP and perform a complete Backup of data there without unlocking bootloader?

Gesendet von meinem G8441 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
The easiest and fastest way is to perform a full backup using TWRP and you need an unlocked bootloader to do that.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
Thank you for that answer.

I've read in Lock/Unlock/Relock Bootloader Using TWRP With DRM keys

So the "easy" way using TWRP seems not to work for my use case. I really want to backup the data before wipe ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
You'll need to use Xperia Backup and/or Googles backup feature. A whole rom backup without root or unlocking the bootloader isn't an option.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
So is it generally not possible to backup my data before first time flashing a custom ROM to restore it later to the current "official" state?

What about the temp root exploit? May this also allow a dump of the data partition like it does with the TA partition?

Gesendet von meinem G8441 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=569347]leo2100[/MENTION], you can backup data (or firmware partitions) via an exploit having bootloader still locked. But for that you need to run exploitable fw version.

If you are on pie, you would need to downgrade to oreo and that would result with full data erase. You could backup few partitions that are not part of stock fw.

It is question if there is anything useful apart from TA partition - maybe persist partition, but I am not sure if it is possible to restore it.

There is a new temp root exploit that allows to get temp root with the latest oreo firmware (47.1.A.16.20):

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
Damn, that is not what I wanted to read ;)

Ok, so at all I need to backup my data with the stock Pie built in abilities. So even if I return back to the stock Pie ROM I have to setup all apps again (of course depending on backup abilities of each app).

Is it correct, that once I did the backup of TA partition and restored it after unlock, I can also flash stock pie again but with the ability to boot into TWRP with fastboot?

Do I have to expect any restrictions compared to my current setup (running last Pie with locked boot loader)?

I ask this because I've had many troubles with my Z3c regarding safety checking apps like banking or 2FA (two-factor-authentification).

You see, I'm still not very confident to do this irreversible step of unlocking ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j4nn:
[MENTION=569347]leo2100[/MENTION], you may get trouble to pass google/playstore certification - see here for more details.

If that is important to you, you may be better not to unlock BL.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] leo2100:
Thank you for the hint.

The reason why I still worry about unlocking is that it is irreversible and may causes issues that I cannot see at the moment [emoji53].

So as this is really only a one way thing, I still will stay with the current setup and stop this "project", at least for now.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
That is a wise decision in your case! I can tell you that the custom ROMs for the XZ1 are not at the same level as Lineage for the old Sony smartphones were. Do yourself a favor and stay stock and you will have no problems with banking apps.

[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Why did you need tech support? It looks pretty straightforward to me. Scan the code and install eSim number. I wonder if I can use a physical sim for one Verizon number and the eSim for another on Vzw. Then I can drop Fi finally.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bono81310:
I needed tech cause my current number is attached to an iPhone esim and I needed them to be able to transfer the number back to the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Are you sure about that? When I transferred my phone number to another phone via eSim it just asked for my phone number (I think.. now I'm not sure exactly) but I had the activated phone turned off and then just enabled eSim on the new phone and the phone number was there. The old phone eSim was deactivated. I think the message was something like if you install the eSim here then all other eSims will be deactivated. Maybe with Verizon the process is different but it's basically the same as switching physical sims. You take it out of one phone, put it in another and done. Heck, turn off the iPhone and try to activate the eSim on the Pixel see what happens. (easy for me to say lol)

I agree. On an iPhone it's just a simple QR code scan and you're done. I'll wait until Verizon figures out how to do it right.

Last week I activated eSim with T-Mobile. I first had to call and tell the rep EID of my phone. Then I went to settings>network... and then next to mobile network, I tapped + sign and followed the steps. (I did open T-Mobile esim support page which had QR code or I could type some info myself.)
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Milly7:
Did this deactivate your physical SIM if you were using one prior?
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
Yes, it did.

A day before, I put physical sim into an iPhone to test. Then next day I wanted to put the sim card back into my Pixel 4 and at that time I remembered about eSIM :). Called T-Mobile and when the rep entered EID of my Pixel, he told that that the phone we talk on(iPhone) will get disconnected and it did. He did notify me if the sim is inserted into Pixel 4, to remove it... looks like it is best to remove the physical before connecting eSIM.
