Ok so a quick insight into what happened first I was trying to manually upgrade my phone (XT1955-4) via fastboot to Android 10 since I never received the update about half way through the flash the phone slipped and disconnected from the cable.

I've tried forcing a reboot, (power button held for 10 secs) nothing shows on screen, no vibrating what so ever, I've tried booting into fastboot (power button and volume down button) still nothing on screen, no vibrating.

https://xdaforums.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-recovering-hard-brick-t3989753 I've tried this but all I get is the following.

[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] BioT3rm:
Hi Roadkill yes I tried that blankflash earlier this morning and it did work I managed to get back to the bootloader and flash a stock rom but now I'm unable to downgrade the bootloader to reinstall Stock Pie via LMSA (Lenovo's repair tool doesn't recognise the device after trying to update to Android 10) is there anyway to downgrade the bootloader on moto G devices, my old phone was a Nexus 5 which never gave me the amount of problems the Moto G's are doing.

I am now unable to boot into any "special" mode due to flashing firmware from lolinet and there's no bootable A/B slot on the device if that helps.
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] WoKoschekk:
That's not a problem and won't cause any problems.

Each single flash command runs like this:

1. sending the image to the RAM of your device

(that's the reason why using sparse image parts for large files)

2. only after the file has been completely transferred, fastboot will start writing it to the partition out of your RAM

As you can see in your output when flashing a firmware via fastboot, every command states sending... and writing.... It's not possible to interrupt the flashing process by disconnecting the USB cable. If it happens that you disconnect your device, then connect it again and go ahead with the next command.
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] BioT3rm:
Other than the phone disconnecting it fell to the floor and for whatever reason seemed to have corrupted partitions, I've now managed to flash a stock ROM back onto the device.

But unfortunately it will not allow me to use LMSA to flash official firmware due to the upgrade to Android 10 (no way of downgrading the firmware) I can reflash Android 9 but I'm unable to open lock the device to get rid of the bad key message on boot due to the bootloader being upgraded.
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] WoKoschekk:
Which country? I need to know the software channel for your firmware. XT1955-4 seems to be the whole planet...

That bad key is cause of unlocked bootloader
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] WoKoschekk:
It doesn't matter which slot was active while the ROM has been flashed. First of all you flash the gpt.bin (partition table) which will set the active slot to _a.

The downgrade from A10 to 9 is responsible for your mobile network issue. You should unlock your bootloader again and flash the complete firmware a second time.

You should have a running system without any errors before locking the bootloader. There is no need to hurry with that. Make sure everything is working.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] owerevoke:
Sorry if the answer to the question is posted elsewhere, but I'm stuck on the Axon 7 boot animation. For context, yesterday, I tried to install crDroid on the phone with no success. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP with the Axon7toolkit, but that was about it. When I flashed crDroid, it wouldn't boot (gave a black screen). After some searching, I put my phone in EDL mode and flashed stock with Oreo. My phone is now stuck on the boot animation and won't get passed; I've already depleted the battery and turned it back on but still the same. It's still on the boot animation and cannot turn it off (either withholding the power button for 30 secs or holding all of them at the same time), I've attached a photo as well. Any help is much appreciated.

so did u find the firmware somewhere else?

Can someone hack this firmware and stop it communicating with China's server? That's what they say in their agreement upon device setup. Also mobile network selection is locked to Auto only, this is annoying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChoHenz:
I am currently using that firmware, aside from unable to select network mode, did you happen to encounter loosing connection when wifi extender is turned off? My device seem to disconnect after few minutes if idle, but the problem is not occurring if the router is plugged to power or if the wifi extender function is turned on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdoxch:
You can use huacontrol on google play store or Huawei router tool on github to change mobile network selection
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neolo:
That app doesn't do anything extra.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdoxch:
Its better than having auto selection at least
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neolo:
Disable sleep mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChoHenz:
Disabling Sleep mode has no effect, or even setting it to 30 mins, before it reach that the router already unresponsive. Fiddling with my settings, turning on the wifi extender option is the only one keeping it active. And if i switch to using 5ghz band, a weird symbol appears. Something like a home symbol over the wifi signal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neolo:
Well, then you need to use recent official firmware, I don't have such problems there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChoHenz:
Where can I get one? I have tried all the firmwares listed in easy-firmware. And the sad thing with this, router prevents a firmware rollback. It fails to install unless its a higher version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterCameron:
If you find a solution to this problem, I will be very grateful to you.I also can't figure out what the problem is, and no Internet helps me in this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neolo:
Today I turned this modem on and it updated itself, now wifi can work in 5Ghz. However, my carrier has blocked it's imei from using data.

You can download Garmin Mobile XT from the Garmin website. (you need I think the garmin support files and basemap)

Then with their mapsource software, you can upload your maps from windows to the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] falrein:
I've had my Note 20 Ultra for about 3 days and on the 2nd day I noticed that my screen started showing a green line about an inch from the left edge when the AoD was on.

Even after a factory reset, the green line was still there.

The same green line was also visible during charging with the phone on (when the charging text and progress were shown) and when getting a notification (where the edges light up when the phone is locked.) but not during active use.

Initially I would have thought that it was a software issue as it was only during AoD and very specific scenarios and it happened a couple hours after I did a software update.

Today a service center confirmed that it was a screen defect and not a software defect, and I am now in the process of getting a replacement phone.

I couldn't find this specific issue when searching for 'AoD' and 'green line' in various combinations, so I'm curious if this is a known (perhaps common) issue with this screen type (not necessarily isolated on the N20U) in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Sounds like a damaged screen. With AMOLED displays, when a pixel gets damaged, it can cause a green line above it.

If you watch JerryRigEverything, Zach demonstrates this by poking holes in the screen of the Z Flip.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] PNT5V:
My phone wasnt usually hit that problem at the first time I used custom rom, but recently, on every Android 10 rom, including Havoc, Pixel Experience or Linenge OS, my phone keeps hitting a lot of errors, such as screen black when I switches on the display and I have to turn off and switch on screen again, or the Wifi issue I am facing right now. The first issue is kinda fixed, but the Wifi one is really frustrated. I did restore Jeff's Magical Backup, didnt work. Is there any solution? I will be appreciated

[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
I think this is a universal issue that would apply to any android system. But in case it makes a difference, I've got some Samsung devices. I've got an original Tab S (10.5 inches) and a Note 4 (8 inches). The first is running Resurrection Remix (based on Nougat) and the second is running LineageOS 16.

WHAT I WANT TO DO:

I want to modify some files that live in subdirectories of sys and system. Basic text files, whether XML or anything else. I want to change the configuration settings within the files. I'm rooted and all that. I can edit the files, but after I do, the system puts them back the way they were.

I can only draw one conclusion from this: THE SYSTEM THINKS IT'S BETTER THAN ME, AND IT WANTS TO FIGHT.

I need help. How can I modify the files and have them stay modified? How do I put on my digital boxing gloves and show the system who's boss?
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Well it looks like the app's data you want to modify is kept by the app itself and gets restored everytime. It's a security precautions and I don't think you can do much about it. Is it a game or something ?

But if you saw someone modify successfully the XML file without it being constantly restored I can't help you much, maybe uninstall/reinstall will do the trick but tbh it would be kinda weird.

Hope this help, good luck with your fight.
[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
It's not an app. These are system files. They belong to the system itself.
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Can you precise the path to the file, it may come handy
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, you're rooted, that's only part of what you need in order to modify system files. The next step is, are you using an app that has a "root explorer" built-in and do you have your read/write permissions set to r/w? If you haven't set your read/write permissions to r/w, you won't be able make changes and have those changes persist.
[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
Yes, I'm using FX, with the root explorer, and the system is mounted read-write.

Let's go with the example I'm most concerned with currently. My Note 4 has sound coming out of the wrong channels. Right and left are switched. I've tried modifying mixer_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc, which is supposed to be a way of fixing this. But the system just changes the file right back.
[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
Edit: The permissions for the System directory are thus: All can read, but only Owner Root can write. Can I change this somehow?
[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
Further update: I rooted my device even more than it was before. I installed the root binary for Lineage OS and set the built-in root to ADB and Apps. I used chmod from a terminal to change permissions for /system, /system/vendor, and /system/vendor/etc to 775. Those permission changes are sticking. But I can't seem to change the xml file so that it stays changed. I even used FX to modify its permission, but it just doesn't work. Nothing doing.
[General Questions and Answers] DoucheMcBaggins:
Does anyone know of a way to set up a direct toggle for Data Saver as a pull-down tile or a button on the home screen?

I like to use it as a do-not-disturb mode at work, with only WhatsApp being allowed to use mobile data in the background for my work group chat. That way I don't get notifications for emails, Instagram, Facebook, etc...

At the moment the best I've managed is a shortcut to the Connections menu through Sesame's integration with Nova Launcher, so I still have to navigate to Data Usage > Data Saver. It's a small thing to complain about but I like to streamline things that I use often and it'd be nice to have proper shortcut for Data Saver. Been trying Shortcutter as well but can't seem to find anything in the Action Tiles, System Setting Tiles or Custom Tiles sections.

Personally I prefer to use the iPad mini as a tablet and the Tab s6 as a convertible laptop, mostly in Dex mode too although I think the home screen in tablet mode smokes iOS but iOS (and the size of the iPad mini) makes for a better pure tablet experience.

Yes there are 7.2 and 7.3 versions that work but none of them really improve on the stock camera. Also other than one single config for the ultra I have not found a config file anywhere for the S20 or S20+. Other models from OnePlus or Xiaomi or Oppo seem far better supported.

What gives? Is it because most S20s are actually exynos that devs are not bothering with it? I picked up a snapdragon with GCAM in mind but honestly it looks like there are better options if you want to run GCAM.
