[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] VonSparq:
Hello!

I would like to start flashing custom software on my Redmi 8 4/64 but I'm pretty confused about the encryption thing, could someone please explain to me how does it effect flashing custom stuff onto the device or point me to an article detailing it?

Do i need to decrypt my phone to install custom roms/recovery? Does wiping everything (doing a clean install) erase encryption? Can a custom rom re-encrypt the device? Can I decrypt it afterwards? Should I/do I need to?

I keep reading about this second space, is this something i should worry about when wiping or can I wipe everything like on older android phones?

I'm on Global Android 9 MIUI11 11.0.7.0 EEA if that matters.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The Jones:
I am not sure why, but sometimes I will go to browse the internet and Opera keeps displaying a message that the remote gateway is not responding or that it has timed out or something similar to that.

Generally I have very strong signal strength and it often happens when I have HSDPA switched off though I cannot confirm that it is always this way. With HSDPA switched on, it can sometimes take a minute or so to connect, but I dont think I get this issue. As I say hard to tell as I tend to switch off HSDPA except when I want to do some extended browsing.

I have no other issues with my Diamond - I would go so far as to say that in every other way it is perfect!

Does anyone have any idea what my problem might be? Oh, I have an unlocked SIM free phone and I am using my T-Mobile SIM in it.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone use a type c to headphone jack adapter with their 8 pro? Please link some below if you do.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Clark789:
Yes, i use this one:

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07XPMGZYV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used it just two or times and it always took a moment for the mobile to recognize the headphone via USB... But it works properperly....

Anyone get the new update on your T-Mobile OP8? Just got oneplus buds and I seem to be missing the app for them.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Nothing here on my tmo OP8. Tmo is so slow with updates it's ridiculous
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] levil401:
I'm still on security patch for june1st , I'll never buy another TMobile branded OnePlus device
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mammothjojo88:
I just got an update for 10.5.17.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] jhous3s:
I just updated also. Unfortunately it didn't included the utility for the OnePlus Buds. Still can't update them or customize the taps.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nutcase:
Also we are in August now... I hate the fact that T-Mobile is going to be at the very best a month behind with their security updates.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] bkeaver:
It's not always behind. We did get June update in June but yeah usually it's a month behind. TBO for me not that big of a deal. At least it's usually a month or 2 behind not like the 3 or 4 TMO used to be.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Rick1221:
Got the new update, but the 5g data signal has been acting up as well as the calls and text. Are any of you having similar issues ?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] shaneg79:
I'm not having any of those issues but I must not live in an area where standalone 5G is active because it still uses LTE+NR for 5G in my area.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Are you guys on the T-Mobile op8? Still no update here still on 10.5.8 in55CB
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] jhous3s:
Yeah, T Mobile OP8.

Just got the new 5G update and July patch. No issues so far and 5G seems to be faster
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
I'm on international but wife had OnePlus 8 and no update yet. They are rolling it out in layers. And what's up with the jump to 10.5.17? There's another thread with someone who works for TMO and explained how the 5G is rolling out. Pretty interesting
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Rick1221:
Yes, 1+8 TMO.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] shaneg79:
I was on 10.5.10 and kept checking and it came up for me yesterday I have had lagging issues though
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
From looking at the T-Mobile software page, there is a daily limit of downloads which is completely stupid and doesn't say why.

From their own page:

Build: 10.5.17.IN55CB

Available August 4, 2020

"If your device meets the requirements below, this update will be available to download. There's a daily limit on downloads. If it's not available yet, check back tomorrow or after August 31, when the daily limit is lifted."
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Scott:
Wow.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] PhoenixPath:
Daily limit is really stupid... Can't wait to sim-unlock this thing and get it converted.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Lots of people had issues with signal after the update so the thinking is that they pulled the update for now.

I flashed the SA 5G modem and ya, it sucks
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] 117micc:
What do you mean get it converted? Like switch carriers
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
He means switch from the TMO branded software to the international software
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
I asked in the other thread, but have you ever been able to msm back to stock and take the update? It fails on me STILL, even on .10 even with a 100 pct stock, no root locked bootloader
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] crazynapkinman:
Just got the rerelease of latest update.

No issues so far with modem.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] BookCase:
This just pushed to my phone yesterday and I'm a little hesitant to install it since it says "Stand Alone 5G" and my 5G speeds have always been way slower than 4G and my phone is usually running on 4G. Any thoughts or experiences?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] crazynapkinman:
According to one of the threads here the new modem SUCKS.

I have not had this experience yet. Currently stuck at 2G speeds because data cap...
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
I went from 25 if I was lucky to 120 (max so far) after the update. But Tmo also opened more mid band to 81 more cities today too.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] crazynapkinman:
I took this update and now calling is broken.

It automatically drops the call after a couple rings.

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] BookCase:
That's terrible. I have no idea.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] KeepingItCuttingEdge:
YES. I have to go into airplane mode, toggle WiFi, or restart the phone frequently to get texts to send/receive and for calls to come in. It's VERY annoying. Was hoping this would be corrected when I got the 10.5.20.IN55CB update, but no such luck.

Glad it's not just me seeing this ANNOYANCE and wish we could convey this to T-Mobile's ROM team.

Thanks for the post!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] ImDonly1:
Yes, calling only works on 1X.

I am not rooted/bootloader locked, everything stock.

Thinking about downgrading the firmware if possible.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] jimmydee62:
My OP8 T-Mobile updated to 10.05.20 last week just hope 11.0 comes soon.

Hey guys

I just recieved my Huawei Band 4 Pro today and was able to use until i've seen that theres an update

I updated it and suddenly it went black screen and from then it doesnt turn on. Not even when connected to the charging port.

Is there a solution? From all i've seen every force-restart is from the band itself but i can not access it at all as its just black screen..

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] 0CoDeCracK1:
Hello Everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 (SM-J530F, J5Y17LTE) that have a big problem.

I downloaded the latest firmware and Odin to have a clean device (Magisk Rooted).

The latest version of no-verity-opt-encrypt is installed.

I didn't viewed the FRP Lock setting to on.

When passing to flash, I selected 3 options :

F.Reset Time

Auto Reboot

NAND Erase (I selected an option that I didn't learned)

AP, CP, CSC, BL is ticked.

When the flashing finished successfully, I get the Setup.

When entering the Wi-Fi Password, my phone restarted to boot animation.

The second time, the device did the same problem.

I did the F.Reset and Cache Clearing on Recovery Mode.

I flashed multiple times to fix the problem.

All of my tests are unsuccessfull :/

I tried all of my knowledge on Android Devices Mobiles that I know.

Does an Experimented User can help me to fix as soon possible?

Sorry if you don't understand, my English is average.

I speak French for info.

Waiting for responses..

Thanks for your comprehension.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] murerlars:
Hi all

I can't connect my Polaris through usb anymore. Nothing happends when I connect the cable. It starts to charge but that's all.

I've flashed my Polaris twice(with 2 different roms from this forum) now since I noticed the problem, using the "micro-sd way" but nothing helps.

"Disable advanced network functionality" didn't work either.

I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem but I can't send it to warranty-repair because I don't have the original rom and I can't flash it back to the original Spl because this can only be done through usb.

But it's still chargering fine when I connect the usb cable so there is some connection still.

Btw., when I put the phone in bootloader mode it says "serial" in the bottom of the screen and it doesn't change to "usb" when I connect the usb cable but my PC pops up a message that says "Usb device not recognized" and under "Device manager" is says "Unknown device". I've tried another cable and another computer but nothing helps.

Any help???
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
Same happened to me!

I flashed udk r6 rom from SD card after it i could sync from USB normally,

Then i flashed the same rom second time for clean install - again using SD and now i cant sync through USB only through bluetooth...

I thinks its some bug not HW failure maybe uninstall drivers (i use vista btw) and install again?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] murerlars:
I've tried uninstalling Activesync and download a new "setup" file and the install activesync again, but this didn't help.

I hope that the problem is software related because if it's hardware related i can't get it repaired through warranty...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Per Knutsen:
Hello, it happend to me to. It just wan`t unlock. It wan`t hard spl. or go into usb mode, only soft reset works. No warrenty, so it will stay in the locker. AS don`t recognaise it. I have the Glass rom, and there where never any problem with it.

Per
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] maag:
It could be a bad contact at the mini-usb connector as it happened to me. Try another cable or push firmly the connector.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] murerlars:
I have already tried another cable and pushing the connector firmly but nothing helps.

I don't understand it because my wall-charger works fine and my headset works fine also. The only thing that doesen't work is acticesync... :confused:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] redredwine:
exactly the same problem here. after upgrade to r6 and a radio upgrade to murata through PDM activesync no longer works. furthermore the computer doesn't even respond to the phone being plugged in. i had the same response in bootloader mode of not being recognised, but try as i might it will not respond when turned on!

Very frustrating as cannot connect to pc (xp) in anyway.

ICS will not engage as it says "check usb cable connection"

Has anyone moved any further with this issue? i had some issues with the phone being stuck in a bootloader cycle after a radio upgrade but after much angst a Hard reset (and removal of the presumed offending microsd card) solved this!

Read a kaiser thread on possible failure of the microusb connection, specifically the 'B' connectio but elevation of this pin proved fruitless. anyone have any pearls of wisdom on this one?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chuacy88:
Try this and it might work...

Start -> settings -> system -> USB to PC

Disable "Enable advanced network functionality".
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] pstnnn:
Hi,

I've been having trouble with the GPS ever since I got this phone last year. Basically, the gps will only connect 1/4 of the time (basically waze says it can't connect), even if I reboot the phone 5 times, but let's say I try again 6 hours later, it might work, there's no pattern. Any idea what might be the cause? I tried multiple of those gps fix apps but they don't really seem to make a difference. I'm runnining the new version of LineageOS, but it was pretty much the same story with the older version.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] kervol:
I downloaded the newest U1 XAA version firmware from the Sam Mobile website and it flashed the Star Wars theme on my phone, splash screen and boot screen. I have tried flashing Verizon, XAS version etc and I am unable to remove the Star Wars theme, any help appreciated. Maybe I am missing a step in flashing to get rid of this but all flashes are successful.

I need the link to the U1 software without the Star Wars theme as well as how to remove it once already installed since it doesn't seem to go away using CSC etc, no help

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KeiFTW:
Hello today a screen replacement i ordered in aliexpress arrived and i did change it carefully (i did this process 2 times 1 in my phone and another in a cousin mi a1. No problems).

The thing is... after this i turn on the phone and the screen turns on but only until rom starts to load and then it comes black as if it wasn't turn on. The screen turns on also in fastboot mode but instantly shutdown when entering to recovery mode or normal boot as i said. The phone is working properly the rom loads and there is notification sounds and touch is working too.

If anyone can help me please. The only thing i can thing of is that the screen came with some strange malfunction.

EDIT: I flashed stock rom with flash_all and got the screen and everything working fine. I then tried again to flash a custom rom as i had before and screen failed to turn on again. Then i flashed stock kernel just to try if was it the cause and after this screen worked fine again but i lost wifi and probably there is other issues because of the stock kernel on a custom rom. I don't know if it may be because a different display driver or a kernel setting that may cause this malfunction. Hope someone can help me to solve this as i really want to use a custom rom. :(

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndiiRoo:
As above - Chl 5 8pm tonight
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
i doubt this will be usefull or give you the result you hope for.

I doubt they will even know, let alone try, about flashing and the massive advantages this gives. I doubt they will touch on the various 3rd party apps that really make this phone and instead, will focus on a standard "factory fit" which, lets face it, is a bit crap. :) Will they cover the fact that this phone is an exellent business tool (oh how i miss TV/VGA out ...:( )

I also doubt they will mention the Iphones failings, its 2.0 software disaster, its "push" (yeerrr right!) email or the fact people are having there entire contacts and calendars being wiped out in front of them or again that they STILL can't change batteries

I see them going for the Iphone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nutcracker2:
Who knows, Germans have choosen Diamond as a best phone on the world with iPhone as a 2nd with quite big adventage. Who knows, maybe those people will make some big review and will compare those phones in every aspect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
What do you mean "Germans"? Do you mean the entire population voted on it or a selected "Gadget Show" like TV program?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nutcracker2:
http://www.inside-handy.de/news/12140.html

1500 of german inside-handy.de users choosen Diamond as most desirable phone of the year. I was wrong, not the best, but most desirable :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nokmond:
The Gadget Show IMO is only of use to morons - the sort who go to Currys etc and believe the 'salesmen' when they say they need a £80 monster hdmi cable. They never set things up properly and i'll guarantee they haven't flashed the roms etc. I know you shouldn't really need to but thats my point, gadget show is for people who don't know nothing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pharizna:
... but the poll was done in 12.06.2008 with the old iPhone and not with 3G! :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] v64:
I watch the gadget show because some of it well put together and you can tell the producers/presenters do know what they are talking about even if they do have to dumb it down for a maintream tv audience somewhat.

As regards the flashing issue, I doubt they will go into it in detail but why should they? Most users don't know about it and if you did tell them they probably wouldnt want to be bothered with it anyway. Its a big time sink just for a setting up a mobile, which should really have been done by HTC in the first place.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owz206:
Check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybaPS0NLwFQ

Most of the people they ask dont even realise about all the 3rd party apps or different roms,all they seem interested in is the way it looks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
Thanks for the link, i hadn't realised before how crappy that show is, are they trying to be Top Gear or something! They're doing camera shots of the pavement that are so quick the phones blurred! And if the presenter emphasised his words anymore he'd explode.

In that video, that kind of test is always going to be about looks, if you even try to use the phone you wont know how because youve only had 5 seconds with it so all they can compare is looks, size, weight etc and go on what the presenters say.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nubbin:
Two things immediately spring to mind on watching the clip - Apple has spent a fortune on promoting the iphone, so that anyone who watches TV will have an idea how it works - if the touch screen from the Diamond had been given similar video tutorials on primetime TV, no doubt a lot of people would find the interface just as user friendly.

The other factor is the Apple effect - people feel that Apple has a brand value akin to Richard Branson's woolly jumpers - all cuddly and vaguely environmental/hippy chic. I prefer to be apart from the crowds, not queueing to buy on the basis of marketing hype.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericsson68:
Well I'm definitely sending my Diamond back. The one they had on the gadget show had a hardware keyboard and a Nokia label. Mine has neither.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glewis101:
LOL yeah i know i watched it too..... check out the youtube link for the web tv review (previous posts)

The review was crap anyway, people like the look of the iphone, but thats it.

None of the functionality of the Diamond was really talked about, very poor review. (if you could even call it that !)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
I disagree the Gadget Show is for people who don not know anything - I watch it over the internet and I find this a useful program indeed. But I do disagree with some of the shows findings on best products...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
"marketing hype" something Apple Computers are very good at G:eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Of the bat:

-The show looks cheesy as ****, something apple users tend to like!

-The 60 year old host, talking bout technology? Not good! (no harm intended to any 60 year old member in the forum)

And Ill always do this on any thread that contains the words FruityPhone:

FruitPhone SUCKS!!!!

Remeber, second best they are.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kidd78:
the show is usually quite good, but after watching this they did not give the htc a proper review. I mean come on if you put a iphone in front of everyone they know what it is straight away! Seems like the Apple advertising is really sucessful.

I dont mind if our Diamond isnt as big as iphone to be honest.

After all do you want everyone to have the same phone as you! I call it a small prestige club and I am honored to have be in it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericsson68:
Could you possibly be any more offensive with your outdated and ageist remark?

He's not even 60.

Idiot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
Did you watch the same show as me? I only saw the IPhone versus a Nokia....

I suppose you are right in a sense, they didn't give the HTC a proper review ... as they didnt have one!:D
