[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers] timonoj:
Hi guys!

I don't seem to be able to flash TWRP 3.3.1 onto my pie phone. From Linux, I get the following:

:$ fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 3.554s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.942s]
finished. total time: 4.496s

The phone doesn't even blink. If I manually reboot it, nothing has happened. If I get to the recovery menu, I get the MI-Recovery 3.0.

What am I doing wrong? How should I be doing it?

Thanks!

To reboot to recovery : vol+ and power twice
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers] AreYouLoco?:
I am stuck with the same problem. Is there any way to resize recovery partition? Or could someone send me stock recovery? Thx

EDIT: I managed to fix. Russian TWRP from 4PDA works.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers] 1311MK:
Kindly ensure that you are using the correct device image. If you flash the wrong image/other device image then it will always boot in mi recovery 3.0.

Hi mate, that does sound good, if your wanting to create one that would be great? my only concern is if someone deletes other people stuff or possibly wipes the full doc lol.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] ChrisHtube:
Nice post, could you help explain the benefits of Huawei Assistant? i have seen it but not had much time to play with it.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] D_ralh:
Yep, there's loads of alternatives out there to Google, I'll be getting the P40 range when im due for an upgrade, it will be refreshing to try something that isn't always sucking up data about you (Google). I think/hope people are starting to realise "Ok Google" means its listening all the time and it listens for other things too, like when you say to your friends/family "we should get this" ..... " this" pops up on your personalised ads. If anyone wants to browse without Google getting their information - use duckduckgo, only downside is it doesnt store your browsing history if you need to look back at it (but its a privacy browser...go figure) if not use the Huawei browser it has a "do not track" mode

Perfect mate thanks for this
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] bluechains88:
What's Amazon photos like? I'm using Yandex at the moment
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] linux2525:
Main problem is that you need microG to not crash .. unless a recent update has fixed.

Very similar to Google Photos .. but you need Prime to get extra features .. I have a slideshow loop with Amazon Photos with Prime! I really missed that with Google Photos.

Has face identification, places, albums, timeline, etc.

I have exported all my photos from Google Photos and imported into Amazon Photos :)

Emails exported from Gmail into Outlook.

Files exported from Google Drive into OneDrive (but might move to Amazon Drive in the future).
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] JaiHamilton88:
how did you get on moving from google photos to amazon photos? did you need to move from google to a computer then onto amazon or is there a way to directly take them from google photos?

thanks mate

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] bluechains88:
Yep so that's what I'm struggling with with YouTube vanced - micro G seems not to be working. The instructions tell me install something call split apk installer but I couldn't figure it out. - so now I'm using new pipe but when you search for some videos (tend to be music videos) it crashes.

What's it been like using YouTube Vanced? from my understanding your better off just using a weblink?

7. OneDrive
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] linux2525:
actually very easy!

1. google takeout (this is a google website for exports) and export photos - it created about x12 zip files of 2Gb each in my google drive.

2. go to windows PC and download zip files and unzip into x12 folders.

3. install amazon photos app for windows and drag & drop the x12 folders into the amazon windows app.

amazingly ...

1. the amazon windows app is very stable so I could dump them at once for upload.

2. after using only linux 20 years, I coincidentally had a windows PC next to me at the time!?

I used a PC, but you could try downloading the zip files onto your phone, then just go into the amazon photos app and select those photos to upload (it works just like google photos with the folder selection). I can't see why that wouldn't work.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] georgeklee:
It's just like the YouTube app with premium feature whereby the video can be running in a floating window while you're searching for other videos, or in the background while you're back to home screen for other tasks.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
So I recieved my XV6800 replacement after I bricked the last one....hehe

Today I got a computer phone call asking for a survey of my experience.

I rated it as a 1. It then asked me to record my explanation on what went wrong and how they can improve. I told the recording that Verizon is crippling my phone by holding back Features and Fixes for bugs in the software due to their greedy corporate hack jobs. I also said that I wish I could cancel my contracts and move to Sprint or Alltel bc they want to provide the best experience possible. HAHA

Now supposedly a customer service manager is going to contact me to discuss further the issues I am having!

TAKE THAT VERIZON GIVE ME MY UPDATES! :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bfunny27:
Let us know what they say if the do call you. It would be interesting to hear.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
I know I can't wait!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] goonygugle:
what does alltel and sprint give you that verizon doesnt? just curious because im a on alltel
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Big Dawg 23:
It is all subjective based. Primary reason to most is updates releasing REV A. Altell started with Win Mo 5 and not six. I believe the still have the GPS locked atleast the local Altell store said they do. Go to Sprint enjoy the upgarde and horrible Customer service. I will deal with hacking my phone to get what I want if good Customer Service and network coverage comes with. A co worker had 3months of hell with that company over her auot pay and Mogul issues. She now is wth the big V and a 6800.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
Haha I agree with you I like verizon's service(except I would prefer a SIM card and the GSM network) but if we give our great customer service enough hell we can get that new Verizon update faster! Call in and complain!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hindjew1:
I'm with Sprint, and they've been pretty nice to me. Not a single problem. But then again I have Sprint Business as opposed to Sprint Personal.(or wtv it's called)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Big Dawg 23:
I have called Verizon and voiced my displeasure with at minmum not having released a rom update to enable Rev A. I got the 6800 because of Rev A option over the I-760. Almost all of their PDA phones don't offer Rev A so why not be able to offer it to folks on one phone atleast. As for the GPS I have also mentioned many of us spend 30-45 a month for data so why do you need another $9.99.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BK111968:
When I spoke to a Verizon CS rep a few weeks ago, I mentioned also that I was looking for the REV A speeds and wasn't interested in GPS since I already use a third-party program on the XV-6800 (IGuidance with a M5+ reciever).

The rep didn't seem to like my GPS comment esp when I mentioned that I wasn't going to be paying 9.99 for their version.
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 10853031:
Problem with "dead zones" on screen, where touch is not working. Am I the only one?

Hi!

I have some problem with my Honor 10. I believe that it existed since I bought it brand new from the store. On the left side of my screen is a narrow "zone" that have few millimeters and where the touch is not working. This "zone" is a narrow "strap" going from bottom to the top of the screen, along the left edge of the screen. Usually I don't notice that but sometimes it is a little irritating when I am touching "a" letter on my keyboard and nothing happens, and I have to touch it a millimeter more on the right, than on the left. There is no such problem on the right side of the screen.

I installed application to test touch screen called "Touch Screen Test".

and here you can see what do I mean by that "dead zone" - I ran my finger across the left edge screen on this app, trying to go as much to the left as possible and there is a line on the left, where the touch is not going completely to the left edge of the screen. Here is a photo (sorry for not using IMG tag, but when I used it, the image did not work):

i.imgur.com/2COvHvA.jpg

( the white line fading to gray are where I touched my finger, couldn't go more to the left, as if touchscreen was broke there)

On the right side, there is no such problem, or the "dead zone" is much smaller:

i.imgur.com/rcLQFnK.jpg

Does my device have some kind of factory problem, or all Honor 10 users have this thing? Is it to prevent people from accidentally touching their screen with finger while holding the phone? Maybe it can be turned off?

Thanks for any help and information!
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] maxray:
Touch test

Unfortunately what you have is a factory problem. I don't see why they would put some sort of protection only on one side.

I did the test as well and this is my result. When I draw a vertical line the screen protector doesn't allow me to go exactly to the edge but with a horizontal line I could. And I have the same result on both sides
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 10853031:
I can see that you have FHD+ resolution on your Honor 10. I've set mine to FHD+ too, and did the test again. I can confirm, that on mine, the line is somewhere between the letters "e" and "n" in word "open" (there is "Open menu by the volume up" on the upper side of screen in this app). On your Honor, the line is much more to the left, much closer to the edge, between the first letter "O" and "p".

And on mine, even when I do horizontal line, it stops there, do not go to the edge.

Thanks for helping me. So seems like this is just a problem with my Honor 10, not some kind of weird feature. Lesson learned - I will check things like that while buying a phone in the future.
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] maxray:
No problem , glad to help

I am really sorry that you have this issue ?

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

My phone is still under warranty(support app>me>my device>), probably yours as well. June should be the last month. Try to see if you can have it fixed or replaced it is worth trying even if you are going to move on with another phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] supersonictt:
Hello all,

Hope someone can help me out with this issue!

Yesterday I woke up and the phone was turned off, I plugged in the charger and after couple of minutes I turned it on but it is stuck on the Samsung logo for few minutes, then it restarts and does the same, and finally restarts taking me to an error screen with 4 options, one of them is to retry which I did but it didn't work. Another option is to erase data, I did that but it didn't work, then finally I managed to get to a screen where I can do full wipe, I did and restarted but no luck. Then finally I downloaded Odin with the latest firmware matching my country, I flashed it through the bootloader but again it didn't work.

The message I am getting is:

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:18108 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#

E:[libfs_mgr]Unable to disable quotas on /dev/block/platform/13d60000.ufs/by-name/userdata because /system/bin/tune2fs is missing

I would really appreciate it if someone can help.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
Have you downloaded the latest firmware for your device and making sure to flash the HOME CSC file in it? You can use SamFirm to download it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] supersonictt:
Yes I downloaded the latest firmware from SamMobile, and I also used SamFirm to download it, flashed it using Odin.

Just to make sure, in Odin, the last 2 files are: CSC and USERDATA, and in the firmware the last 2 files are:

CSC_OMC_OXM_G973FOXM5CTD1_CL18242812_QB30539088_REV01_user_low_ship.tar

and

HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_G973FOXM5CTD1_CL18242812_QB30539088_REV01_user_low_ship.tar

Which one goes to CSC and which one goes to USERDATA?

I already put CSC_OMC in CSC and HOME_CSC in USERDATA, if there is another way to do it please let me know.

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
There's your problem. You need to put HOME CSC in CSC and leave user data blank. I'm curious as to why you put a CSC file in the USER DATA section?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jeeme:
I have repeated the flasing several times with a number of different csc files in this way, and it still does not fix this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
Have you done a full wipe? You probably need it after flashing a CSC file to the user data partition I'm sure that could have screwed something up. I'd tried wiping and starting over.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jeeme:
While i wipe cache in recovery mode i receive first this error E:[PDP] lstat /c____/pdp_b__ : 0 - No PDP scenario , and after that it says wipe cache completed, I doubt whether the cache was successfully installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DHGE:
select CSC instead of HOME_CSC

I had similar problems after upgrading via ODIN because of Magisk with the current CDT1 ROM.

Leave user_data empty, go for the full CSC and a wipe/factory reset

Never had such problems with an update within the same Android version ...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
Wiping cache and doing a full factory data wipe is two different things. You need to do a full factory data reset and then flash the latest firmware with Odin with HOME CSC in CSC and leave user data blank. The issue you are having is most likely due to you flashing a CSC file in the user data partition. Make sure to back up anything you need that is stored in the internal storage first though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
If your phone wont turn on why are you guys flashing firmwares. Doesn't make any sense. If it booted the night before and you woke up to bootlooping. Obviously something else is going on. Flashing **** can just make it worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ana Milheiro:
Olá, estou com o mesmo problema. Há uns dias atrás fiquei sem bateria. Quando o voltei a ligar já não ligou mais. Isto é, aparece o logo da Samsung durante alguns segundos, depois desaparece, e faz isto em loop. Já tentei fazer o reset de fábrica e nada! Quando faço "wipe cache partition" diz "no PDP scenario".

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albaire:
Hello,

I have a Redmi Note 4 Mediatek, bought in China. I used it till Q1 2018, after flashing a global rom (thanks to cofface tutorial on this forum).

I want to reset it but I forgot my mi account password and do not have anymore the phone number I used to create it. (shame on me, I didn't set email or phone recovery). I tried to ask for manual reset on Xiaomi website but it always get rejected (I don't know why). However I still remember my phone password so I can access the settings.

Then I wanted to reset it through TWRP, but I am unable to enter recovery mode, my display shows the device + a cable plugged in... and nothing happens...

I tried reflashing TWRP but it didn't change anything.

Any idea how I could solve this ?

Thank you for your help :)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] shaoran_ojo:
I have been using the ROG2 phone for quite a while now and used to brick it in the past.

Therefore, I am very careful about what I am doing right now in order to avoid that same mistake at all cost....So here I would like to ask the following questions from you guys here.

1. My phone is currently running WW_16.0631.1910.35_0 but both Product and Fingerprint accessing via Device Info HW show that I am current on CN version at the moment.

2. My bootloader is currently Lock I think... As I checked through ADB mode and it is mentioned "False" on the bootloader section.

3. I did try the following method without luck...

- https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-to-check-change-fingerprint-cn-to-t4002279

This one give me nothing at the point where I need to edit the CN > WW via Root explorer as I did not root my phone at the moment.

- The method using ADB and Ultra Edit also does not work with me as I am not able to get the "persist" file with any data...Always comes out as 0 byte and therefore, I could not use that file to edit.

By the way, do I need to factory reset in order to do this?

Any suggestion or any link I need to follow?

Thank you!!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
You need to unlock bootloader (step 0 in the guide) which will wipe your device. As you are already on 1910.35 you can skip steps 1 and 2. But you must follow the rest of the steps, at least until 8 to complete the change to WW fingerprint, thus includes rooting the device as you require root to change fingerprint. If you want to keep root you can stop there. If you don't want root, complete the other steps
