[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Cattex:
Hi All

I just picked up the Oppo 10x zoom for a very decent price. Hadn't been specifically considering it but wanted a good, flexible camera and everything else is so expensive now. I knew that the phone didn't support saving RAW files in the camera app but thought it was worth the trade off given its low price. I'm coming from an LG G6.

I've installed Gcam and this does seem to provide RAW with the main lens, but to get the wide and telephoto lenses would require me to root, which I am not prepared to do (and even then I don't know if there are any configs that would allow using them anyway). I should say that I am not 100% sure this is true raw, although it saved as a .dng file.

I assume that Oppo doesn't intend to add this feature in the future because they would already have done so. But, I thought it might be worth asking: does anyone know if they might? I presume this hasn't been added with ColorOS 7? (I believe that the Find X2 Pro supports RAW for example).

Many thanks and hope everyone is doing well in this strange times.

Charley
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
With the 10xz being capable of RAW photography, I can't see any reason why Oppo don't implement it in their camera software as it is using camera2.api

It's a bit embarrassing that the awful GCam supports it and Oppo camera doesn't. If it did, it would certainly make it one the the best Android camera systems
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Cattex:
I can understand why Oppo might want to limit RAW support to the 'Expert' mode, but there doesn't seem to be a good reason to not allow it at all. Especially given the photo-focused nature of the camera. I know that RAW files out of phones can sometimes look really bad because the phone makes so many changes to the image data from the sensor when it creates the final jpeg. But I am prepared to make those adjustments myself.

I updated to the c.27 ColorOS 7 update last night and they have made some nice layout changes to the camera app - I am particularly pleased with the move to a 5x rather than a 6x zoom step. So, they are still investing some time in supporting the 10x Zoom.

On GCam, the RAW file produced is not recognised by my desktop editing programme, DXO Photolab 3, but Snapseed on the phone does seem to recognise it as a proper .dng RAW file. Regardless, I would have thought OPPO itself could enable RAW properly - perhaps include it with an update to allow video recording from all three lenses (which again must be technically possible because it can be done in the developer debugging mode).
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Cattex:
For what it's worth I contacted Oppo UK to ask about adding RAW file support to the 10x Zoom. They replied really quickly, which was good. They said they would feed this back to relevant people, which is all one can expect. But I think it's worth giving the feedback anyway.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
It's a step.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Cattex:
Yep.

I've been doing some more experimenting with the RAW files. An easier way to get a .DNG file is to use Open Camera (or a number of others do the same thing) - this doesn't require installing from a .APK like GCam.

Snapseed seems to see these as true RAW files and the ones from Open Camera are the a much larger file size than the jpegs (~22mb). I've tried editing a couple and they do seem to give the kind of latitude I would expect with a RAW file (given its a phone sensor). Again only with the main camera. This is of some use if you want to do things like B&W conversions as this should be better quality going from RAW to a B&W jpeg then using the camera's B&W filter or converting a colour jpeg to B&W. It might also be useful if you want to bring out the shadows or try and save highlights, I would expect results to be slightly better than the phone's auto settings. But, this may not be by much, and may not be worth the hassle of RAW. What's probably more useful is tweaking the image's colours and sharpness to suite your taste for important photographs.

What I am not clear on:

The .DNG files are not recognised by DXO Labs 3 - which they should be if they were true .DNG files. I've even tried converting them with Adobe's DNG converter, but still no luck. This makes me suspicious.

The .DNG files are saved as 12mp files, so they have been through the pixel binning process. I don't know when Oppo applies the conversion from pixel-binned file to jpeg. If it goes 48mp RAW -> 48mp jpeg -> pixel binned 12mp jpeg, then these can't be true RAW files. If it's 48mp RAW -> 12mp pixel-binned RAW -> 12mp jpeg, they could be.

It is frustrating though that the tele and wide sensors are not available to the Camera2 API. Especially as I think the Oppo Find X2 Pro's telephoto sensor is the same as the 10x zoom's and does allow RAW.

I'll continue to play around and put any significant finds in this thread.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] P_No:
I managed to make RAW photos with FreeDCam. - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/troop.com.freedcam/

FreeDCam seems to support all 4 cameras, so you can also make raw photos with the telephoto lens for example.

Unfortunately I did not managed to take photos with 48M pixels, yet.

It is opensource, so maybe 48M pixel support could be added. Unfortunately, again, I do not have time to do so right now...

Have you tried flashing the full image from amazon?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I can't get into recovery. I think that the standard recovery was overwritten by TWRP, but it won't boot into TWRP.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
I never seen Giza get that far to make the full unlock/TWRP install. Can you show me the thread that unlocks it? The thread you listed was a unbrick thread. Did you try anything that might have wiped the recovery partition? Vol (+or-) and power don't try and force recovery? (i dont have a giza, just trying to help).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
There is no official unlock, I was playing around with a spare tablet and I used the latest version of amonet for karnak (v 3.0.1) but with giza bootloader files and a modified fireos-step script. According to the output (post #1) TWRP did flash correctly and as this is based on amonet for karnak it will have overwritten the recovery partition. It was a risk, as while the giza, douglas and karnak tablets all have a common processor, the douglas requires the device to be repartitioned and TWRP to be installed on a second recovery partition, karnak does not.

There is an old thread (see here: https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/fire-hd8-2017-amonet-debrick-root-t3897841) which enabled the douglas to be rooted before mtk-su was released. This installed karnak bootloader files using amonet and then flashed a rooted software image (hacked fastboot) before flashing the devices own bootloaders. This also works for giza using giza bootloaders. I will probably try this method. I am not sure if it is sufficient to flash a system and boot image or if I need to reflash a separate recovery image too?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I fixed it using the last method described in my previous post; the original HD 8 (2017) debrick thread. This used shorting with the bootrom method to install karnak preloader, TZ and LK files, plus hacked fastboot. I then flashed boot.img (taken from the '.bin' of the OS 5.3.6.4 software - first build), system.img (created from the same software using a python script, as described in the link) and, to be safe, I also flashed recovery.img (copied from another 2016 HD 8 running the same version of software). Then I used bootrom again (amonet-res from the link, with 2016 HD 8 files) to restore 2016 HD 8 preloader plus LK and TZ files. The device then booted normally into Fire OS.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
Awesome!

Sounds like you had it unlocked, and you could have installed TWRP (douglas?) over stock recovery from the hacked fastboot.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I think someone who knows what they are doing could get it working. I know it flashed TWRP for karnak when I first tried to unlock but something I did temporarily bricked the tablet. The method I used to recover installs karnak files on the device. The screen stays black but hacked fastboot still runs.

It may be that the exploit for douglas is worth trying. This is a bit different to karnak in that it repartitions the device and installs TWRP on a secondary partition.

Wish [MENTION=7104332]k4y0z[/MENTION] or [MENTION=295159]xyz[/MENTION] could spare some time to look into your hints described here to unlock this 8hd 6th gen bad boy.

Fingers crossed! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I have done nothing original really. I am sure those guys you mentioned could make this work (assuming the LK file has the necessary vulnerability) but they may not have the tablet in question, the time and/ or the inclination.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyq3:
You did a great job. I expect that you only need some operations. To try, I can help you try because I own 3 from Amazon hd8 6th giza
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I was thinking of modifying amonet for douglas (HD 8, 2017) and trying it on the 2016 model. This would involve replacing some of the files in amonet/bin with their equivalents from the latest HD 8, 2016 software 'bin' and minor tweaking of the 'step-1' and 'step-2' scripts. This method re-partitions the device to create new 'boot_x' and 'recovery_x' partitions. The partitioning schemes for these two devices are different: they have the same 'by-name' paths, but the 2016 model has some extra partitions, and has a different partition numbering scheme. I am not sure if the amonet (HD 8, 2017) scripts would partition the 2016 device correctly or if they would create an unrecoverable brick. I may try it anyway at some point out of curiosity.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdtyc:
Great, as amonet for giza is taking shape!

Would pm [MENTION=7104332]k4y0z[/MENTION] get a useful answer of partition schemes ? It is like straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, as he is the author of those 'step-1' and 'step-2' scripts.

My apologies in advance if this post breaks any etiquette of the XDA forum.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
Please don't get your hopes up. I am having a look out of interest and to learn a bit, but what needs changing may be beyond me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdtyc:
Good that you are looking into this!

Keep up the good work.

Not all hope is lost yet to unlock this bad boy.

Hi, I use DiamondKitchen 0.4

It works for Official ROM but fails for some custom ROM, bElite ROM can not be dumped this way, is there a solution or another way to dump.

I really appreciate any help about it.

Kind Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Caspertje19:
Well, most of the cooked ROM's out here, are someway protected or they have left out some files(RGU files). In this way, the ROM can not be rebuild...some use it as protection, some use it for a faster ROM because there are less files in the windows directory, wich may speed up the ROM.

As for the cooked ROM's you really should ask the cookers for the missing files, otherwise you have to cook your own ROM with a base ROM. Most of the cookers put a lot of work in the ROM´s they are creating while they having a normale life also(wife/kids/work). So it is not nice if someone else add some apps to the ROM and publish it on xda as his rome....on the other hand, it should be nice if everything is shared, but I really understand the real cookers, so I let it for what it is and appreciate the work the real cookers put in it and respect them.

I'm just a simpel cooker who can only add some apps, but at this point, I cannot take advantage from the more experienced cooker, who applied some twaeks, making the rom faster than the stock one's and having a more faster/stable base ROM to cook from.

But as i prefer cooking my anti-theft information into the ROM, I can only use stock ROM's...so that's the decicion I make: use faster cooked ROM's without my apps into it or just build your own ROM with your own apps, but not with the advanteges of the more expreienced cookers out here

Hey everyone!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 flat (G930F).

I constantly run into boot loop since I restarted my phone with no OS. :rolleyes:

My story:

I downgraded my phone to the stock Oreo firmware using Odin. Everything went fine.

After that, I also flashed the TWRP package with Odin. I have used this package several times before and it's okay.

Then, I boot into TWRP and did the following:

I wiped Dalvik, System, Data, Internal, Cache.

I went ahead to install LightRom. Unfortunately it has failed to install.

Ever since this happened my phone is in bootloop. I can't boot into download mode or recovery.

I have tried:

Volume DOWN + Home + Power for Download mode -> No luck

Volume UP + Home + Power for Recovery mode -> No luck
