[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinkNinja:
Hello Guys I am new to the community and I'm willing to learn more about phones.

My question is where is the bootloader's code stored?It cant be stored into the /boot partition as according to this the bootloader either starts the kernel, which then starts android, or the recovery mode. Inside the /boot there is only the kernel and the RAMDISK according to this. Is it inside a chipset on the motherboard? In order to be able to be unlocked the code must be editable. It cant be stored inside the /boot because sometimes you need to delete that partition in order to install custom ROM. You dont install a different bootloader....

My second question is where is the recovery mode stored? I 'm sure it is stored inside the phone's hard drive but I couldnt find any partition with that name.

Ok. I have a thrid question now:D. Theoritically, are we able to flash a custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader? Probably we could but due to the bootloader we won't be able to access it. Am i right? Same rules apply for custom recovery too(correct me if I'm wrong).

It depends on both whether Android is a A/B partition slots system or not and on Android version.

BTW: The XDA-thread you cited is a 1:1 copy of an article published in 2011. Today is the year 2020. Things since Android 7 have drastically changed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juampapo546:
What the guy above said, on a only you have a recovery partition and a bootloader stored on boot when on a/b you have both bootloader and recovery on boot partition.

On the last question, no, you cant flash custom rom with bl locked. In order to flash custom rom you need custom recovery and you can't install/boot it without unlocking bootloader because when bootloader is locked you can only flash/boot images signed by oem, that's thw whole point of bl blocking

If you are curious about your partitions you can fastboot oem partition and there you have most info, as well as in the android websitee, it's everything explained https://source.android.com/
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] tech_p:
Hi, so Ive had my 7T for about 4 months and now it will not connect to my pc or Warp charge with the supplied cable that came with the phone. Mind you, Ive been babying this phone, but I was wondering if anyone else have had this problem and how did you go by getting a replacement.

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] niyonsv:
That's unfortunate. Isn't there any way to get it replaced by OnePlus itself? Since it is only a few months? Sorry I'm not sure about the customer service of them but what about try contacting them once?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SICKMADE:
It happens to me all the time with every single device I've ever owned but interestingly enough hasn't happened with this device. Now it will since I said that and believe I'm gonna come back in here and blame you! Lol.

But all seriousness I don't know the cause. I have found that using a trimmed down qtip of some sort with a dab or rubbing alcohol to clean out the charge port on the phone and in the USB cable that plugs into the device. A lot of times you get pocket lint inside the ports without even knowing it.

If that doesn't work it is more then likely to do with one of the small pins on the USB C side that plugs into the device it maybe misaligned or even snapped off. And it will be a tiny piece!

Anyway hope I helped if not then time to buy a new one. Been there I know the feeling.

Take care brother
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] tech_p:
Yea I contacted Tmo, they said contact OnePlus. I contacted Oneplus they said call Tmo. So its the run around game now. Its some bull and the offical cord from OnePlus is $20 so I just may have to buy another one. Im going to put some heat shrink on both ends where the cord meets the connectors. Hopefully that keeps it from shorting out there again.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] tech_p:
Yea I figured it out, the part where the cord connects to the usb-c plug, its a short right there, if i twist the cord the Warp charge comes on. So Im going to buy another cord and just apply a couple layers of heat shrink to stiffen that part up more.

Thanks for the advice

Hi,

I'm a french administrator, we have buy 50 samsung SGH-I780 for my company, (before we haved HTC phones).

We have a problem with the samsung and the USB synchronisation to the exhange server.

In fact, all work perfectly for sync with exchange when we use the GSM network, but when we connect the phone with USB, activesync can't contact the exchanger server. The problem is only the samsung phone, the HTC phone work perfectly with USB.

I think this is a probleme with this model.

did you know if you have se this probleme before ? Is not a probleme with exchange or the computer (firewall,...) because other phones can synchronise.

help me !!:confused::(

There isnt even a way to unlock bootloader yet. And with that no twrp either. So you cannot create custom roms as long as the phone isnt rootable.

Hello All,

I just had an idea on the way to work this morning..

I really like the HTC home theme, I use it on my Athena and it is great, I stopped using ultimate luanch as this does what I need.

I was thinking how nice it would be if I had some sort of home screen replacecment that would do this on my PC's.

Now I could set up a HTML site with like some Java or something for the animated clock, then set an active desktop but this would be LONG, I am sure it would give me what I needed though, if I find nothing else, I shall be doing this.

Just like HTC home, a number of tabs:

Animated clock

weather panel

applications

contacts

music player is pointless as I have so many different apps I use.....

Anyone thought of this, or even done it before?

Past in May, Oppo released a schedule for EU countries for coloros 7 update. Few of them (like Germany, The Netherlands etc ) were planned to receive the update in June.

Model Name: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

Firmware Version: 8.1.0

Rooted or not: Not Rooted

Frequency of Occurrence: Very Frequently

I'm facing this issue since months and it is bugging me up. My phone freezes before making a call or when receiving one and reboots every single time. Also my phone can't play or process a single video, it just shows the template and the pause button.No audio as well. Tried with earphones, both wired and wireless. Except all this the phone works exceptionally well. It doesn't hang anywhere else. Works smoothly. Fingerprint and camera works. No video recording.

Only on google chrome's Youtube site, i can play videos, but without audio. Else where like FB, Whatsapp, Youtube app and Insta, only photos load up. Not even a single video.

I didn't drop it nor put it in water. I mean no physical Damages. Games like PUBG work flawlessly, just no audio.

I have tried upgrading, downgrading, full phone system wipe and reflash. It comes back to the same position. Gave it to the service centre, it came back today with no solution. Please guide me.

I have the bug report taken by the device, but can't attach as I have lost my original account and this is a new one. I can dm the link later if required.

Kindly help me. If it were a serious hardware issue, other things would'nt have worked perfectly i guess.

Edit:

It seems that if I pull up any video through MX Player it starts playing, without audio though. The audio button shows audio track as disabled and doesn't allow me to change it to Track 1.

I believe, if am not wrong, my device is unable to process audio anywhere. Do you think any part of the motherboard is at fault and could it be tweaked for that??
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Kunal_456:
If I access YouTube through Google Chrome in desktop mode,videos start playing.

So basically any app that processes audio along with video isn't working. For eg: Whatsapp vidoes work if I play them via MX Player but no in the app.

Hence I can't place or receive calls too.

I guess MX player decodes audio seperately, so it plays videos well

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 10763657:
My device bootlooped after new update, it seemed fine, i update it normally last week and it worked fine. today i did a TWRP backup of all of the partitions and then rebooted and it went into bootloop. I was able to flash all the partitions again with the flash-all-partitions.bat and got it out of fastboot. Now i can boot TWRP with an .img again.

The problem is that my data is all encrypted, like it mounts but its all in ramdom folders with ramdom names, and TWRP is not asking for the code to decrypt it. I dont know how to decrypt the data. How can i decrypt it? ( i know the code as it was my password).

Thank you

I would say format data and re-flash rom via twrp, that should remove encryption (but you loose all of your data) and you should be able to normally boot.

2. Put the zip into an empty USB flash or SD Card, connect to car unit.

3. Turn car unit on, insert USB or SD to car unit, go to settings/system update/reboot to usb upgrade ,

error is coming, don't worry. Press one at time to move for recovery to usb upgrade, long press to select, select the zip and long press.

When finish, wipe factory reset and cache partition. Reboot system, green screen apear, unplug usb.

Done.
