Put the Rom files, the TWRP .zip and .tar version recovery file and Kernel file in to SD card with your PC and keep there, start in recovery mode and flash or install TWRP zip or tar one and restart phone, install the rom and kernel file, and restart in sytem mode and it will take sometime to setup, if you cant instal TWRP from SD card, then use Odin3 v.3.07 in your PC, connect your phone in download mode and find the .TWRP.tar file on your PC under AP and flash it till you see green color on ap it says flash sucesful, then start your phone in Recovery and install rom and kernel and restart, don't forget, before you install any rom, or kernel in recovery mode Wipe Dalvic/ART, cache, system and Data, otw you might get errors and bootlop, don't wipe SD card!

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedDevilHam:
Update

The issue still remains. Tried to find solutions online. Below methods were suggested. Since, I am new to this, might have tried something silly in the process.

Method 1:

Flash the Rom boot image via TWRP

Result: Did not prompt to provide any partition but Failed with error 'No Partition selected for flashing'. Updated the TWRP to 3.2.3 and tried the same thing again. This time prompted for a partition but no option was available that I could provide there and failed with the same error.

Method 2:

Patching the Boot image of my ROM through magisk patch

Result: Extracted the boot image for BlurOS Custom rom and tried to patch it through magisk Manager. Installation failed with 'Unable to repack boot image'.

Since I updated the TWRP, tried to flash the magisk zip file hoping for some other error (at least). It failed with below error message:

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buzzcola3:
Magisk is unable to patch x86 boot.img's, so you have to use "android image kitchen"

Magisk patches Ramdisk file so you have to do:

move x86 ramdisk to ARM boot.img

Patch it via magisk

move patched ramdisk back to x86 boot.img

You can try boot.img's that I made for RR and Lineage in my thread. They are pre-patched with magisk 20.4

Anyways, is BlurOS better than lineage or RR ?

hey guys

So I rooted my Exynos S20 Plus after updating it to ATE6 . Since then when I try to open camera I just get "camera error" even after restart.

I tried to use the Samsung service menu and get "unable to connect to camera service" there :(

Anyone else experienced this and might be able to help? :)

Thanks!

If it doesn't work reflash the rom with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mautz001:
Hey,

thanks for your answer.

When reflashing original firmware: Camera works.

When flashing the "vbmeta_disabled.tar" in USERDATA and the modified "KERNEL-G988BXXS2ATD5" (with Mgisk manager) as AP the camera no longer works, even after two full resets via recovery. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] RohanKalra97:
"KERNEL-G988BXXS2ATD5" is for the older firmware. Please wait and it will be updated for the latest firmware.

If you follow the instructions you can make your own boot.img to suite ATE6. That will fix your camera issues

I've just flashed the new NBD 9.2 rom on my Cingular 8125. But I have a quibble - it doesn't want to sync with my Windows XP laptop. Any suggestions?

By the way, the NBD 9.2 pwns your face. It is the best-looking, responsive ROM out there. If you are particular with how form goes with function, this rom delivers both. It has both elegance and responsive functionality at the same time. Really elegant. Buttonless TouchFLO. Doesn't look cheap, like the TNT series. Sorry TNT dude!

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.

Is it bootable?

Btw I've been attempting to make the bootloader opensource on another Samsung sc8810 device :D

This is mainly working (not for mint though, but mint is also easy to get ported)

https://github.com/fxsheep/sprd-u-boot-kyletd

The best way to speed up developing would be getting away from Samsung's craps, e.g. replace the Odin with fastboot, (with source, we can unbrick even in the worst cases, or customize the partition table and so on easily) and use SPRD's original baseband instead of Samsung's custom one to avoid RIL hacks ,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] rcky844:
Oh, I will have a look into that, I am trying on my own and if I did brick it it's worth it but maybe not as my Oreo has not booted yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Star] rcky844:
I think I know what's the reason, wait lemme rebase lineage os
[Samsung Galaxy Star] fxsheep:
Yes, it's necessary to gather enough information about the underlying stuffs before attempting anything 'risky', after that you'll find it not that risky.Feel free to ask me if you have questions related ;)

Btw, backing up the internal storage (EMMC) is strongly recommended, as it stores things such as the EFS, NV data which is device-unique (and encrypted by Samsung's own keys), so that you can recover later if anything got very wrong.

This is quite easy:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/external_sd/mmcblk0.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/external_sd/mmcblk0boot0.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot1 of=/external_sd/mmcblk0boot1.img

Run these in TWRP, make sure there's more than 4GB available on the microSD card.After that copy them to PC or elsewhere , compress them to save some space:)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] rcky844:
Thank you, I did it when I got this device already.

Also the real problem right now is the recovery is too old and you can't get to lollipop because lollipop have too much new stuff it makes it too big, I will try and remove some features from the kernel and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] fxsheep:
Hmm, what do you mean by 'the recovery is too old'? There's working TWRP trees afaik

. For the partition oversize problem, I tried to make a slimmed down kernel for my kyletd and fit TWRP in, but later I found it not enough, as the partition is only 8MB, which is even smaller than mint's.

Later I got an idea, as the ramdisk is too big, why not change the compression format so that it gets a higher ratio? So I changed it to LZMA and it worked eventually. Just enable the LZMA initrd support in config, and compress the ramdisk using LZMA utilities. (This makes most bootimg related flashable zips not working because they do not support LZMA compressed initrd, though.)

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

The reason why this happens is that the kernel is stored in uncompressed Image format, which takes a lot of space.Tried to use a zImage, but it did not boot.

Later when I investigated more , it seems that this is almost impossible to solve, as the whole architecture is quite unusual on sc8810/6820/8825/6825.

These SoCs have an integrated 2G/3G modem but does NOT have a dedicated Co-processor to run the baseband RTOS.(for saving money from both ARM license and hardwares ,of course)

The solution SPRD uses is Red Bend VLX, a type-1 hypervisor (yes, 'Virtual Machine' ) to run the baseband OS (a custom ThreadX) and Android (Linux ) together , on a single core processor.

However as the Cortex-A5 does not have full virtualization extension, they have to modify both OSes in order to make this work.It is basically a giant hack,

(https://github.com/fxsheep/sprd-kernel-kyletd/commit/6b455af8469f7b86e09f2a838ede389a4d810d90 )

which messed quite a lot of things up, for example our Linux kernel doesn't actually follow the normal early-boot procedure.The kernel is handled by the virtualizer, not by the bootloader, and making it uncompressed is probably intended in order to make the whole thing working.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

More importantly, as CMCC has already closed down all TD-SCDMA based networks, all 8810 has been 'downgraded' to 6820 because the 3G network it supports had existed only in China and it has gone forever.

Ideally, the same will happen to GSM networks in the (predictable) future, much earlier before all sc8810/6820 based devices has died.

This being said , I don't see much point on keeping the closed-source modem RTOS and the virtualizer which takes approximately 90MB off the precious 512MB RAM.

(With a custom bootloader and kernel I have successfully removed these stuffs completely, although GSM still exists at this point, in 2020)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] rcky844:
First, thank you for this much information.

I used lzma but it doesn't work?!

And here in hong kong we still have 2G and 3G. But should i remove the other non-important modules for twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] fxsheep:
It should work,try to check your initrd .

I didn't remove anything from TWRP, and fitted it in with LZMA.But if you refer modules to kernel drivers, I did cut the kernel down though, e.g. most multimedia peripherals, like camera and sound, can be disabled safely.

Hello,

First, I hope you are all in good health.

On Android devices most of the time the default is contact firstname sorting. But for more than 20 years I'm used to sort my contacts by name. It was possible to modify this parameter in the contact app. But since I have my Note10+ - or maybe Android 10 - I cannot find anymore the contat name sorting option. Have you noticed this regression ? Have you found a solution to sort contacts by names ?

Many thanks for your help.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] THE-COPS:
This has been bugging the hell out of me since I got this phone. All the reviews made such a huge deal out of the phones camera quality and capabilities. But upon using it myself.. I am not all that impressed. When I record a video in say 1280x720, the resulting video always looks like it was recorded in say 800x450 or something along those lines. No matter what bitrate I choose, it looks like a lower resolution. You can't zoom the video hardly without it degrading. Go ahead, try zooming on some text in 720P. Now compare it to 720P on some other phone. Now, when I record in say 1920x1080, the resulting video looks like it was recorded in 720p, not 1080.

I have 720p videos I recorded from my Galaxy S4 that look FAR FAR better than so called 720p on the V20. It seems like the camera on the V20 is UPSCALING the video recording output to the next highest resolution than what is ACTUALLY being recorded. 720p appears as 480p, 1080p appears as 720p etc. As someone who is picky about quality, this has been a major blow since I got this phone. I am surprised no one has ever posted about this.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
Iv noticed it, but I brushed it off as I felt nothing could be done to fix by me or other devs that I am/was aware of. Now that I think if it more from your words, maybe could be fixed by overclocking the 4k to 6k, or 8k, to get a 4k resolution. Need root to try this though.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] THE-COPS:
Well, at least I'm not the only one who noticed. Is it the same way on Oreo? I mean, did the update "fix" anything related to video recording resolution or is it still upscaled? (I'm still on 7.0 Nougat for battery reasons, but if 8.0 has a video improvement.. well, game changer). This seems like false advertising meant to try and push 4k capability when it really couldn't. If the camera really isn't capturing 4K, then does that mean it would be too much a burden on the hardware to actually be pulling 30 4k FPS ...VS 30 1080P FPS upscaled to 4K?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lebatman:
Are you talking about the quality on Google photos, or the out of camera quality?

have you tried exporting it to your computer via USB? Cos, for some reason the quality and resolution are lower on G Photos.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
I don't think a burden but more of how's it's coded. 4K on tripod is hard to tell vs 1080p. Note 3 was same way. Oreo cam may be better but I can't really tell. Idk why 16mp is not fully utilized for 4K 16:9 either. Coding that I personally don't know how to do. Slow mo don't even have sound via stock cam.
