[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBreakStuff:
I've been on a journey with my ShieldTV 500. My Netflix stopped working and there doesn't seem to be a solution. I was on original firmware 5.0.2 for a long time rooted. Hadn't touched the config for almost 2 years and Netflix just stopped working with the "can't connect error."

Last night I sleepily followed various broken instructions to flash a stock non-root OEM ROM all the way up to 8.0.2. Netflix still doesn't work, can't connect and crashes instantly on a fresh system. Troubleshooting has been throughly exhausted. I cannot uninstall it because it's a "stock" app. Apparently it lives in the vendor image that is flashed amongst system, boot, recovery, etc. Is there a way to rebuild the image without certain apps included? I can't sideload a different version of Netflix because the stock one is never actually deleted, and the install always fails. Using adb commands nor a root explorer ever successfully uninstalls or deletes the files.

The Nvidia & Netflix supports are worthless in this respect. I just thought of this and maybe someone with a bit more dev experience than me can chime in. I opened the image with Ext4 Unpacker on my PC to poke around and found the bloatware "app" folder. There's got to be an index file or something telling it to install that apk and I feel like if I just delete it I'll have an error during flashing possibly corrupting the image.

Going to try using ADK to extract and recompile it then flash again. Will post updates.

Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

I stumbled on this trick by accident, i could not get the dual screen to open any apps in windowed mode until i installed Sentio desktop on the phone, the app opens in landscape mode only and can display across both screens, if you add app shortcuts to the top of the screen and click on them, those apps will open in windowed mode on the dual screen. Sentio will crash in the background on the dual screen and goes to recent apps, but the windowed apps stay open on top.. works nicely if you want to multitask in landscape mode like using your main screen for the keyboard and pop back and forth between apps on the dual screen.

Technically spoken: You have to move the app and its data from Android's system space ( AKA system partition - what is readonly ) to Android's user space ( AKA data partition - what is readwrite ).

Several apps exist that can do that job, for example Link2SD. As already said: Requires Android got successfully rooted.

Hi !

I need your help please, my phone doesn't want to enter in fastboot mode.

* Black Screen 100%

* If I press power button after 4 or 5 seconds it does a vibration

* Power button + Volume Up (looks llike it turn off the phone)

* Power button + Volume Down (looks like it want to enter in fastboot mode)

When my phone is connected to the PC it is recognized as: Unknown USB Device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed )

Blue LED always turned on (once the phone is recognized as Unknown)

The first that I tought when I saw the message ( Unknown USB Device ) was... ok this phone is really hard bricked and is needing a Test Point.

I did the Test point and my phone still giving the same message.

I tried different USB ports and same problem. (USB ports are ok)

I didn't tried a different USB cable and it has higher probabilities that my USB could be damaged. because (Device Descriptor Failed) is a problem from faulty USB ports or Cable.

But my USB Cable looks like new and it was used few times... also I tried moving a bit the connectors to see if it does something but no.. nothing happened.

The USB Port from the phone is like new. (I opened the phone)

If you have experience with the message: "Unknown USB Device (Descriptor Request Failed)

Please give me some help !

Hi !

Looks like the real problem was from drivers. Finally I installed the K20 drivers from this site : https://gsmusbdriver.com/xiaomi-redmi-k20

Then I did the test point

1) I Pressed power button with the test point

2) I heard a vibration

3) I released the power button but I continued with the test point

4) Voila the drivers were installed correctly and now my phone is recognized as: " Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 "

EDITED:

If you are experiencing in device manager: USB Device Unknown Descriptor Request Failed maybe could be faulty USB port or cable. In my case was the cable. Now is working perfectly everything with a new USB Cable.

I pressed Flash button and the program asked for EDL Authentication. "I Created a new account" Logged suscessfull and then:

"Error" Root Element is missing.

WTF? why xiaomi is asking me for a rooted phone??

Please Help, any Idea about what I'm doing wrong?

Did you try this :

- Download the stock ROM from xiaomi website, no tools needed, just adb and fastboot installed

- Extract the rom to a folder and launch "flash_all.bat" with admin.

- If you encounter an issue try it with another OS (try this if you don't want to install another OS : https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755)

Good news? I think that my phone now is booting on Fastboot mode? I don´t know how but today it was recognized by the PC as:

MTP USB Device

Please help What I can do to flash my phone¿? it is fastboot mode right? in fastboot mode I can do flash without an account authenticated righT?

Im trying to use Mi Flash TOOL again and Im getting this message:

fed4e139]:info1:$for /F "tokens=2 delims=: " %i in ('fastboot -s fed4e139 getvar anti 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%i )

Im using the latest rom for the K20 global phone but dont know why it is stuck with that message and STATUS: Flashing but it doesnt do any progress.

What Can I do?? is ok MTP USB Device? is that the correct drivers to do a flash in fastboot mode??

Thanks guys!
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] attitude12:
Does the phone display the fastboot logo? If it does, then you have to remove some lines from the flash_all.bat file. The first ones where it says something about getvar product.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] yaro666:
you can fastboot and just push it in cmd if fastboot active. I bever use bat files, because its only 2 lines to flash
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] romeosantos:
This is what happened:

I was watching my phone recognized as MTP USB Device and I tought yeah! my luck is from my side! now will be possible to flash my pohne in fastboot mode !!

I tried a lot of times with FLASH TOOL and it never passed from:

fed4e139]:info1:$for /F "tokens=2 delims=: " %i in ('fastboot -s fed4e139 getvar anti 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%i )

then I tried in adb: "adb devices" but I never saw my device connected even with MTP USB Device driver activated in Device Manager.

so I tried anyway to use the flash_all.bat and same message received "getvar anti" bla bla..

I never deleted the lines about getvar from the file "flash_all.bat" because now my phone it is exactly as in the begin....

Now the PC doesn't want to recognize the phone... again the same ****.. " USB Device Unknown (Descriptor Request Failed) "

I did the test point and the same crap... the phone doesn't want to be recognized USB Unknown...

Come on... I can't believe it... I had decided to pay for the service flash with EDL authentication in the next week and now I can't even make it boot in EDL... exactly as in the begin I'm.... the phone it is with the same sympthoms.. :crying:

EDITED:

Now the Phone was recognized by the PC again as: MTP USB Device but with yellow sign..

I disconnected, reconnected the cable and nothing yellow sign.

I did the test point and boom Im back again into the same ****... USB UNknown (Descriptor Request Failed)

what the **** is happening?? Im not so sure how the phone can be recognized as MTP USB Device but i guess that it is fastboot mode. and that is what I want to try the solution from the first post of this threads.

or the second solution understand what I have to do to put the phone into EDL. Because I did a lot of times with sucess at the begin and now Im doing exactly the same and nothing. it doesnt want to work.

Looks like drivers problem?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] attitude12:
Most likely. I had similar issues with a rn7. Try it on another pc. I had issues getting the phone recognized in w10, then I switched to an old laptop I had with w7. Didn't install drivers, didn't do anything, windows installed it's driver and the phone was there. So it may be a issue with your OS. And again, delete the first two lines from the flash_all.bat to get over that error.

Edit: The flashing with MiFlash tool will only work if you see the fastboot logo on your phone. If the phone is seen in cmd after you type "fastboot devices".
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] romeosantos:
Thanks for the answer, I have the notebook with two windows.

W10 64 bits and W7 32 Bits.

Same problem in both, don't know how can be driver problem, because I installed exactly the correct versión. (I know that is the correct because I could do the test point correctly two days ago) and it was recognized as: "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM4)" But today it doesnt want to recognize anymore the phone. Only "USB Device Unknown (Descriptor Request Failed)"

So hard is to make it boot in EDL mode? i saw the picture for test point (k20 xiaomi) and it is really easy. but PC recognize the phone as Unkonwn after test point. The first day that I did the test point happened the same ****.. I was hours and hours trying to make it work.. till I installed the correct drivers. and now is happening the same.. hours and hours trying to boot in EDL and using the same drivers, same process, but nothing.

Except at 3:00 pm dont know how the phone was recognized as MTP USB Device (with yellow sign error in device manager) so i did again the test point and boom.. USB Unknown again...

If I press Power button + volume up the phone looks like turn off and instantly I do the connection from usb cable and nothing appears in device manager but 2 mins or 3 mins later the phone is recognized as unknown and blue led light start to blink every 1 second.

If i do the test point it is recognized instantly as Unknown but there isnt any blue led light blinking.

I tried test point without battery and same. problem.. I tried to do the test point without release the pins so fast.. and same problem I tried releasing fast.. slow... etc

I tried to removed the battery and press power button to drain all the energy from board.

I tried to charging battery with power supply and the blue led light is turned on after 2 mins and it continue on over 10 or 15 mins then it is off the blue light. I used a tester to see the voltage from battery and is ok looks like it is full of charge.

If I do the EDL Cable could it be different? or is the same as test point?

But when I tried to flash_all.bat it gave me error: "bootloader locked" looks like I need the bootloader unlocked to flash via ADB in fastboot mode.

what I want to try is like a bug in xiaomi mi flash tool. The first time that I tried to use it. I made a new account and I received a message like:

"Logged Suscessfull"

"Your Account was blind to this PC. Now you can start the process"

Then I received an error like "no root permission" or something like that (maybe was because the usb cable was bad)

Looks like the xiaomi flash tool passed the EDL Authentication. because now each time that Im trying to use MI TOOL this is the message that Im getting.

"Logged Sucessfull"

You are not authorized for this operation

2. Extract the zip file to your desired directory on your phone or Windows (copy the folder to your desired phone directory)

3. Now Open the Themes Manager App and go to the Fonts Tab.

4. Next Click on Font Generator

5. Now Click on Generate Font.

6. Select your desired .ttf font file from the Directory that contains the Fonts.

7. Follow the next steps and Apply Them through the Text Styles.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I'm a big OnePlus fan myself, but I have to question the big price hike for the 8 pro this year, even compared to last years OnePlus 7 Pro.

OnePlus made their name by selling near flagship spec'd phones, but minus some features, and had a near vanilla stock Android UI, and all that for a super budget affordable price. I bought the OnePlus One for $299, and LOVED that phone, at that time flagships like the latest iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy were selling for $749.

I get it, that super cheap price wasn't going to last forever with OnePlus, and I expected some creep up in pricing each model, but F me, not $1,000+ now. Sorry but screw that price for a OnePlus phone, or heck any phone for that matter. I think a fair price for the OnePlus 8 Pro should be like in the $699 / $749 range.

Some of their best models and pricing at launch;

OnePlus One was $299/$349 @ launch

OnePlus 3T was $439 @ launch

OnePlus 5T was $499 @ launch

OnePlus 6T was $549 @ launch

OnePlus 7 Pro was $669 @ launch

OnePlus 8 Pro is currently $900+

So it seems each year OnePlus increased the price anywhere from $50 to $100 annually. Lets do the middle which would be $75 per year, so 6 years later that's approx. $450, add that to the $300 price of the original OnePlus One, and that would put the OnePlus 8 Pro @ approx. $750, which to me is fair, not bad. But $1,000 NO WAY.

My question, the 7 Pro was $670 @ launch, now the 8 Pro is $900 @ launch, that's a huge jump up in price between the 7P and 8P, by far their biggest leap in pricing between model years. Because OnePlus have been on an annual trend of $50 to $100 price increases each year, then all of a sudden a massive $225+ increase from last year.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xnostra:
theres alot of things added that upped the price of the phone, 5g , chipset , display , water rating , wireless charge, refresh rate and more. if you think they can just lower the price of the phone whats the point of having a businses if theyre is no profit. at least i can say even they have this profit margin on it its not like iphones price range.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AzerTrex:
It's all in the marketing...

We always saw OnePlus as offering Flagship killers to compete with the big companies, Apple & Samsung. What better way to gain a following than offer phones that compete with the latest flagships and are priced starkly lower?

OnePlus has just been introduced to the market, relative to the big boy brands. But now they are moving into actually competing with the flagships, it's no longer Apple & Samsung, now OnePlus will be among them. The OnePLus 8 Pro is the company's very first true flagship. It offers things that every OnePlus device to date didn't; Wireless Charging, IP65 water & dust resistance rating, 120hz display, a massive camera upgrade, and of course 5G.

Simply put, OnePlus is moving into its new home, into true flagship territory.
