[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
It looks like you have no rom installed either due to flashing wrong firmware or incomplete flashing or you have a hardware fault

Download firmware from below - make sure it's the same android version as you currently have eg android 7 or 8

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cedric/official/

Commands to use

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

Post output - note if you get security downgrade error flashing gpt or bootloader the firmware is too old

If you get permission denied try a different firmware as your device does not have an unlocked bootloader you can't flash unsigned firmware parts
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] welitonxdd:
before I had done it this way, without success too, now that I tried again this option of "is logical not found" appears, but even with this option it seems that the command has tried several firmwares but the one that does not give the mentioned error is last one

[IMG="motog"]https://snipboard.io/6BZCyq.jpg[/IMG]
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
There's no errors in the output and everything is normal

Although unlikely to be causing an issue remove any sdcard and sim card from the device & try to boot

If it's still not booting after you have left it trying to boot for a while you may have a hardware fault

There's not really anything I can suggest - you can try using a different fastboot

Try using the mfastboot in the attachment below

Copy firmware to same directory as mfastboot

The commands are the same as above but instead of typing fastboot before each command type mfastboot
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] welitonxdd:
the procediments was made without SIM and SD cards. i think the only answers now is the hardware fault.

thanks for your attention. and response in my topic.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Try with the mfastboot I just posted in post above just incase the version you're using has issues - just substitute fastboot for mfastboot in the commands
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] welitonxdd:
I finished now, the last hope was this, I did the procedure and it was the same way, after resetting it stays in the loop
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Assuming you have tried the generic retail firmware there's not really anything else I can suggest

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] welitonxdd:
Yeah, already made with this firmware, the only accepted.

Strange is dont pass into recovery mode after fastboot screen. hardware fault sucks...

Another information is in Lenovo Smart Assistant continues showing RETBR, ive flashed only retail original
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] davavanstone:
Hi,

Quite a simple question, why can I not turn soft snap off on the stock camera app?

When taking a selfie, regardless of camera settings, the app keeps trying to apply "soft snap" to the pictures? Is this a bug? Why won't it turn off with the toggle in the settings (soft skin effect)?, Or is that another "filter" again? Why can't things be left as they are :laugh:

Also I'm incredibly surprised at how laggy and slow the shutter is to take pictures from the pressing of the button; I've a first gen Pixel XL which is still in use and it's MUCH faster for a nearly 4 year old phone.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
Hello!

Deactivating soft skin in parameter do work for me. I just checked since I never use front cam to make portrait since you'll always be distorted by a wide angle camera from 50cm away.

Anyway, here is a crop I just did, you can easily see small hairs and skin detail : http://imgur.com/a/nrsSLUr

The crop is like +200% on a ok quality selfy, so yeah, quality is not best. But then again, that's just a selfy cam.

No lag for me from the dedicated photo button. Just the normal double step button to first focus then take the photo. Be sure to press all the way down. Sorry that you encounter so many issue with your device :/ xperia 1 has some flaws, but that's more like no possibility to go manual mode with x2 or ultra wide angle, fingerprint working only 75 to 90% of the time and white bala'ce can be off in colored low light.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] davavanstone:
I've uploaded screenshots of the softsnap https://photos.app.goo.gl/5aanRvhRoC8tAA646

I'm not too worried about the quality, but wish it wouldn't keep trying to soften my pictures with a silly filter!

Yeah, understand the two stages of the button press, but do you get lag with the software button though, I know i do? It's such a shame, for years of "improvements" on a phone, it's hasn't advanced much from my first gen pixel
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
Ho! You are right, sorry, I'm so not used to selfie cam I didn't even checked this.

Yeah, the AI enhancement can't be deactivated in auto mode, and that's somewhat silly (the same kind of silly than not having manual mode onx2 and wide lens).

The workaround is to switch to manual mode (once selected, the manual mode stay as a quick one press button, so it's not that boring) and let all the parameter on auto. You'll have an auto mode with no AI enhancement. Then again, for quality selfie, I would recommend using the x2 lens (but you will get the AI enhancement) or the x1 (in manual but need a crop) with eye autofocus and smile detection to take a self portrait, it will be less distorted since taken for an arm length, but that's just my 2 cents . The eye autofocus while ensure a good focus and the smile detection while take the photo for you. But you will not see yourself during the process so it takes multiple attempt. But result is far better. That goes for every phone in fact, but eye focus is a wonder here!

I don't think the AI enhancement work with tiers party app so video call should be ok.

I thought you were talking about the physical button. I don't really know, for me it's like 0.2sec or something like that, I can't even think of a quicker camera, especially with the focus being done at the moment of the press. It gives me the same speed feel as a dedicated camera with a shutter. Are other phone quicker? It didn't shocked me when I tried P30Pro or Oppo Reno 10X, they felt all the same for me.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 Pie, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Known issues: (as of May 19, 2020)

- FM Radio app doesn't work; It actually works, just once every two attempts: If it crashes the first time, select close app, clear apps from background and try again; I'll find a definite fix soon;

- Wi-Fi signal strength doesn't show on status bar, only in the wireless screen;

- Fingerprint reader doesn't work;

- SELinux is currently set to permissive;

Instructions:

- This is a FULL ROM build, meaning your BOOT, DTBO, SYSTEM and VENDOR partitions will be overwritten. Backup first!

- You need firmware version 11.x.y (preferably 11.3.169 - recovery encryption only tested with that version), any will do. 10.5 will not work

- Download TWRP from the files section, fastboot flash it (if you don't have custom recovery yet)

- Download patched vbmeta.img

- Download the latest build

- (Optional) Download Gapps (arm64 9.0, any flavor) and Magisk

- Boot to recovery (whichever you have), flash the new recovery

- Reboot to recovery, now your data is decrypted, flash vbmeta, latest build, magisk and gapps

- Format DATA completely to start from scratch since encryption is different

- Reboot

Reporting Bugs:

DO NOT Report bugs if you're not following the instructions!

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
Changelog:

May 19, 2020:

- Initital release, everything working except for FM and fingerprint reader;

- Kernel is completely overhauled and updated to LA.UM.7.8.r1-08500-SDM710.0;

- Audio drivers are stock 11.3.169 (we don't have the sources);

- Wifi is open-source, with MAC randomization currently being tested;

- Call recording already works;

- BT Audio works for calls and everything else, HD codecs being optimized;

- Wifi Display works perfectly on my cheap chinese Android TV Box. Please test with a Chromecast / Google Cast / SmartTVs, since I don't have any of those;

- Camera2API is active, RAW pictures are also enabled;

- Build will automatically encrypt your device, I had to fool Lenovo's BS keymaster to make it work, so it has to be enabled;

- As of now, I don't care if your apps work or not, that's not my problem, just let me know about hardware issues;
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] carlshark:
I can confirm that this works.

It's great to have a ROM that works and doesn't have audio problems or auto brightness issues compared to GSIs. I've been using this for two days without any problems aside from the bugs already mentioned. I am holding off on using Magisk like I normally do so as not to introduce complications.

Overall, a great first effort. Thank you very much!
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
Thanks for confirming that to me, great to know. Would you happen to have any of those fancy hi Def Bluetooth headphones so we can test aptx and aptxhd? And you can use magisk without any issues, I'm using it here right now, no problems.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] carlshark:
No, sorry. If that changes, I will let you know :)

I can imagine most of the users that are here are currently using a GSI. The stock 11.3.169 from here can actually be installed via TWRP. Flashing it would revert to stock recovery so users need to reinstall the TWRP recovery image during the same session. That's how I ensured that I was running an 11.x firmware after using all those GSIs from 4PDA. Hopefully this helps others to revert to stock so they can use your LOS build.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
Some more good news, we now have a TWRP that decrypts data even from this updated Lineage 16 build. It actually should work for any ROM flashed atop firmware 11.3.169. That's the one I'm using and probably the majority of people who wanna stick to "the latest and greatest" speech, so here we go, now we can enable OTAs without any issues and flash anything. This recovery can decrypt any data regardless of password type, so you can use PATTERN, PIN, or whatever, it will work, I tested them all.

[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
And what is apparently massive news for us, our phone will get an Android 10 official update, meaning we'll be able to boot lineage 17.1 with the updated audio drivers (in theory). Anybody in China or who knows how to trick their system and able to get ahold of these files?

[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] carlshark:
Hi, I used your recovery to try and create a full backup of your ROM before I go back to stock. I encounter an error when it tries to backup the system partition - the backup fails. When I tried to install the Full OTA ROM from Lenovo, it also fails. I flashed the other TWRP and both the backup and install worked.

I'm going back to stock to get the 11.5 update available only if the phone has a locked bootloader.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
Hey man, thanks for the report. I just rebooted to recovery and backed up the system partition without a hitch, so no clue what happened with you. Regarding the Lenovo Ota it probably doesn't work since they use different manifests from the ones I'm using with lineage. Nevertheless I'll make it universal now that I know about it. Let me know if you can get 11.5 and we can make a dump of all partitions. Thanks man
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] carlshark:
The only thing I can think about was that I was trying to save to a microSD instead of internal storage.

Anyhow, I'm back on LOS. I went back to stock, relocked the bootloader, got the update notification but the downloaded update fails on install. I "read" in the Chinese forums that access to 11.5 is some sort of closed beta; some users also encounter failed updates.

[MENTION=7350669]wzsx150[/MENTION] published a new TWRP based on Android 10, probably with the partition file info of 11.5. It doesn't work for me when I flashed it on top of 11.3 (Android 9). Thought it might help you further.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] seisa:
hey man could you please help out, was trying to revert to the stock rom but getting a blank screen after i'm done and it shows lenovo
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] jacoghi:
That's why it failed, system partition is 5.1 GB, your sdcard is probably formatted in FAT32 which DOESN'T ALLOW files over 4GB, that's a filesystem limitation.

I'll wait for somebody getting us 11.5 firmware files and release a new twrp for Android 10, (partitions won't change and AFAIK, wsx's twrp doesn't decrypt and is full of extra non open source stuff) and Lineage 17.1, until then makes little sense to me update this knowing it won't last long anyways.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] carlshark:
Oh, right, I totally forgot all about that. Should have tried enabling compression or saving to internal storage.

I've found a 4PDA post regarding updating to 11.5 and reposted the good stuff here. Hope it helps. Thanks for your good work!

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

I know this is the wrong thread to answer this, but we can't really help you out without some more details. Were you trying to install through recovery? Through QFIL?

From the looks of it, sounds like you have a bootloop. Try doing QFIL again and unlocking bootloader, or the other way around - sometimes it works for me that way.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] saepurusass:
I have Z5s 6GB/128GB model, sold as Global Version & Global ROM.

It does have EU LTE bands, so it probably is somewhat "global".

The downside: I am at 10.5 version with no updates available. Seller also told that there are no updates.

Two questions:

1. Is it absolutely necessary to have 11.3+ to install this LineageOS ROM? What is blocking installation if I have 10.5? Can I brick it?

-- EDIT: I will answer myself: Yes it is needed. LineageOS did not flash over 10.5 and gave an error. That was validation error before flashing, so no harm done.

2. Is it safe to install Chinese ROM on this device? Is it possible to loose something in the process? Like LTE bands or something else important?

-- EDIT: Seems to be ok.

I really want to install LineageOS or some other google free AOSP ROM. But I do not want to loose important features or brick it in the process.

Thanks.

EDIT: I installed Arrow OS GSI at the moment over 10.5 and it seems to work. But still looking forward to get pure LineageOS installed.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] saepurusass:
I have one problem that is hardware related:

Microphone level is quite low compared to my previous phone and people are complaining about low volume when I call.

Is there any way to add more gain? I tried to search but did not find easy and straightforward answer. Most solutions refer to methods/files that do not exist on this ROM.

What I found was complaint that there is still no way to easily manage audio stuff in android...

Mic Test (lauresprojects.com.mictest) app confirms that recording levels are considerably lower in both direct sound and communication mode when comparing to my other phone.

Otherwise seems to working quite nicely. Thanks for your good work.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shobuddy:
I have several Google apps (Chome, Duo, YouTube, Google Photos) that I've kept disabled on my OnePlus 3 (Android v9) from the very beginning. For the last two weeks, they keep re-enabling themselves. I've repeatedly disabled them several times but they re-enable in just a few minutes. Any ideas on how to keep them disabled?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Do you have root? If so, Titanium Backup can be used to freeze them (even remove them) whenever not needed and cut off their market links (Play Store links) so that they don't auto update. I think that that is what is happening in your case. Even when auto update is not enabled, sometimes the Google apps behave different to other apps and update themselves.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shobuddy:
TNSMANI, thank you for the response. Unfortunately I no longer have root so TB is not an option. You are correct, however, that the apps get re-enabled when they update. That said, this didn't used to happen as I've had them disabled since I got the phone. It only started happening recently.
[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chema_F:
Probably many of you have faced the bug with audio not being recorded in apps like camera, WhatsApp, Telegram... You can try disabling Voice Match. If this works, audio recording will be permanently fixed but you won't be able to use the voice assistant.

If you still want to use Voice Match while being able to record audio in any app, I found this workaround:

1. Wipe Google app data.

2. Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications/Default apps and set Google as Assist app.

3. Press back and enter the 'Assist app' settings ⚙, enable 'Voice Match', enable 'Hey Google' and follow the steps to set the voice command.

4. Go back to Default apps/Assist app,

select 'None' and then select 'Google' again.

5. Go back to 'Voice Match', disable 'Hey Google' and re-enable it again.

It sounds weird but it works. The only 'little' downside is that this is a temporary workaround because every reboot will mute your audio records and you will have to repeat steps 4 and 5.

Hope this helped.

So dang first of all this situation sucks I have the phone(A505GN) now for over a year.. and I'm having a hard time unlocking the boot loader so here's the method that I tried using.

1. I tried the method where you change date and update etc didn't work

2. Tried waiting for 168 hours didn't work

It's getting hopeless I can't flash anything except official rom dang it I hope someone can save me from this dreadful situation I freaking won't get any other samsung phone

Actually you need to use your phone for 168 hours with internet connection on and no reboots. Did I do the same?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Lynjun002:
Right it is not US variant do i need to do factory reset or can i reboot phone and start waiting for 168 hours without turning of data?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Alijjasghar:
No need to factory reset. Reboot and start 168 hours with data ON and see if it helps. You can see your uptime somewhere in About phone. When it reaches 168 hours then check for updates and see if OEM lock appears
