1. 2022-05-05 UPDATE boot loops.

I flashed the 2022-05-05 update yesterday following the advise for flashing updates in the OP, and it blew my phone to pieces.

Boot loop.

Pressing POWER+VOL UP to go to recovery opens not TWRP but an unknown recovery which carries the logo of LineageOS. It asks to apply the update and reflash.

After that, bootloop again.

I understand you need the logs to make sense of this however I am at a loss. The phone when booting to recovery does not boot to TWRP but to simpler-looking recovery which looks like LineageOS. This recovery has produced a file /tmp/recovery.log which you can inspect on-screen. However you cannot copy it to PC per ADB; ADB is nominally activated however, unlike with TWRP, the phone is not accessible from PC (I am using Total Commander's ADB plugin, which has served me well up till this). And there is no control in the recovery enabling to copy the log file to the external SDCard. No file manager like in TWRP.

Any help?

P.S.

Prior to my flashing of the full update, DerpFest had been notifying about an update (obviously meaning an OTA update) being available and ready to download, however on pressing the respective buttons nothing happens. This seems to be consistent with your announcement that the 2022-05-05 update had been planned as an OTA update, however it was released as a full ROM for lack of time. DerpFest likely knew of an update being available however it did not know how to handle a full ROM update.

2. Issues with v2022-02-26-1634 (version used -with success- before the fateful update).

As nearly everyone here has reported DerpFest-12L for daisy is a fantastic and, all things considered, very smooth & stable ROM. However, my impressions are tainted by two shortcomings, the first ---if it can be attributed to DerpFest--- a serious defect, the second a minor and fixable inconvenience:

3-dot menu does not activate Settings. Several apps, including among many WhatsApp and Google Contacts, fail to open their settings window when touching the 3-dot menu item. It is as if the screen had lost its touching sensitivity, however this isn't the case as other apps don't display this issue. (Google Dialer for example has no issue; Google Contacts has.)

Inclusion of GApps beyond the absolutely necessary to access Google services/accounts results in bloat. Even though the GApps included with DerpFest are not particularly bloated, yet there is still some bloat compared to what would obtain if you left users choose to install their choice of slimmed-down GApps (e.g., BiTGApps-arm64).

Re: 2022-05-05 UPDATE (flashed as advised in OP) causes boot loops.

Hi, can you try to fix Netflix widevine certificate issue for next update because Netflix contents are not watched in HD.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Chansternator:
Pretty stable so far. Currently using it as a daily driver, sometimes crashes but it's probably something to deal with a 5-year-old phone.

Some bugs are:

I got this notification frequently. This is from Google Play services and i have no way of opening it (clicking on the notification does nothing).

Can't enable Home location in Smart Lock. Option to "Turn on this location" also does nothing. Adding pin manually works though.

Very basic GCam

Sometimes it lags so much or even crashes completely, but again probably something that every 5-year-old budget phone user has to deal with.

Other than that, 100% completely usable ROM. Best one so far. Nice job, definetly waiting for the next update 👌
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ardanai:
After a day of use: Great 12L ROM so far.

Without lag/bug in Instagram.

Let's see the battery performance after a few more days.

Camera PX works great too.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ardanai:
One thing that is different about DerpFest from all other ROMs is that I have to restart my phone every 2-3 days because of the messy ram management of MI A2 lite

But on other ROMs, it took at most one day for me to have to restart the phone to start to work normally.

Great ram management with DerpFest 12L

No.. I didn't face any boot loop issues in derpfest rom... as it come with gapps no need to flash gapps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
You obviously didn't even try searching for it before you came here, or, if you did search, you didn't put much real effort into finding it. You took the lazy approach and came here to ask instead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iGamerProYT:
Ok. Rude. I have been looking but the one I have found is only updated to February. I was seeing if anyone had an update that's been updated recently
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
The tab S3 is an old device, most devices don't get new ROMs at such an age as this device. In fact, very few devices have ongoing development past 2-4 years after the device's release to the market because the developers that owned those devices and were creating development for those devices have moved on to their next device by then and have started developing for their new devices.

I wasn't being rude, my point was, there is quite a bit of development for the Tab S3 here and that it isn't hard to find and isn't hidden under a rock here. Therefore, a simple search of the forum using your device name/model number will easily find any and all threads/ROMs/development pertaining to Tab S3. If you did such a search and didn't find anything that satisfies you then what you are looking for doesn't exist here. If you found the "official" LOS 17.1 ROM thread for tab S3 then you found the most current version, any new updates would be in that thread, there wouldn't be another thread for a different version unless someone has built an "unofficial" version and it probably wouldn't be as well developed as the official version.

If you have, in fact, been looking but haven't found anything better, didn't you even consider that it might be because it doesn't exist? Or did you assume that it "has to be here" but just isn't showing up?

The latter was probably your assumption and you posted your question in the hope that someone else would do the deep digging to find it, if it exists, so you would not have to continue the search yourself. That is, by definition, laziness, hence, the lazy approach.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gbert15:
Haven't been getting good battery life on my Note 20 Ultra compared to my Note 9 and it seems to eat up about 10% every hour(heavy user playing music and YouTube videos). I have package disable pro running but greenify doesn't seem to work on the Note 20 ?, which I think helped a lot with battery on my Note 9.

It might be because I did smart switch(I will factory reset and do a fresh install later today) but if it's not, do you guys have any tips to preserver battery life?

I am currently using Optimized Power Mode and put a lot of apps, other than the ones I need notifications for, in Deep Sleep. I also used the app to Mac out the refresh rate to 96hz. You're help is much appreciated ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] xORJSx:
Apparently it takes a few days for the system to learn your usage and optimize accordingly. But below is a few things i have done that don't effect general performance.

* Put apps into sleep or deep sleep mode if you don't use the much or require notifications from them.

* If Google play Services is causing a drain, go to the app and clear cache.

* Go to location and check out app permissions and turn on off or while in use for what you use etc.

* Go to your accounts and go through what is being synced or not, turn stuff off if you dont require it and if theres any errors being displayed this will always cause a battery drain as its constantly trying to re sync.

Hope this helps :)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisULM:
My son has a Fire HD 8 tablet that thanks to you all, I have installed LineageOS 7.1.2 on. It runs great now, but we'd like to install an application that is only available in the Amazon App store and designed to run only on stock FireOS. I think the app would run perfectly fine on the tablet with Lineage installed, but unfortunately the Amazon App store no longer recognizes the tablet as a Fire tablet and therefore blocks our ability to download the app.

Is there some sort of workaround that could be tried here? I've read about people modifying build.prop to spoof the device type and run "unsupported" apps, so perhaps that is the route we'd take here? I'm just sort of stumped here and really don't want to go buy another fire tablet just so we can run stock fire os for his game.

The apps in question are the Osmo kids learning series. Any help would be very much appreciated.

*edit - i have searched for .apks of the app online that would allow me to manually install, but i have been unable to turn any up.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanebelcroft:
I have a Galaxy S6 SM-G920V rooted using PingPongRoot years ago. I've never updated the phone, so it's still on Android 5.0.2.

Recently it's been having battery indicator issues: thinks it's charging when it's not and vice versa. I replaced the battery and even the charging port (having to remove the screen and all that). Still no luck.

After backing up everything with Titanium backup, what are my options? I can't even perform a factory reset, since the phone gets stuck in a boot loop until I remove the battery. Will flashing the ROM using traditional methods (ODIN) even work with a Verizon phone? Is there a newer version of Android for this phone that still has root? (Nougat?) Without root, I probably can't reset everything I backed up with Titanium Backup.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Google search:

"Return to stock (your specific model number)"

That will find what you need in order to reflash your stock firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanebelcroft:
If I reflash to stock, would my only option for root still be to just apply PingPongRoot again? Does root exist for a newer version of Android for a SM-G920V? or only other models like SM-G920F?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
If you flash the same firmware as what you had when you rooted your device, you will still be able to root using the same rooting method that you used the first time. If you flash a firmware that is newer than what you had, your rooting method may not work.

Flash your firmware then root with PingPongroot like you did before.

With Odin I was able to flash a stock OE2 ROM (everything passed) following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/verizon-s6-stock-restore-files-t3096000, but now the phone shuts off after showing the boot logo. "Custom" still appears in the logo. I tried a factory reset, per the guide, but that didn't change anything.

Are there any other things I can try?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
What version of Odin are you using? Are you using a version of Odin from around the same time that your device was new to the market? Have you tried using the modified version of Odin that is available here? Have you tried Cosmy's Odin?

Don't use the NAND erase all option, that tends to cause more problems than it solves.

Yes, if you can find a copy of the PIT file for your specific device, you can flash it in the PIT tab in Odin along with the firmware in its slot(s) and select the "repartition" option in Odin while flashing the firmware and the PIT.

You can also try extracting the system.img from the firmware and convert it to an Odin flashable .tar.md5 then flash it in the AP slot. Then power of the device then immediately boot back into download mode and try flashing the entire firmware again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanebelcroft:
I've tried both Odin 3.10.6 and Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD. Both pass without any issues. I still can't get passed the Samsung logo after flashing the stock OE2 ROM. For what it's worth, even plugging the phone into a charger just brings up the Samsung logo.

What's the reasoning for flashing system.img individually?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Because flashing the system.img by itself can solve the "custom" status and allow the full firmware to flash.

Did you try flashing your PIT along with the firmware and repartition?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanebelcroft:
Thanks for the suggestions.

I extracted system.img, remade a tar, and flashed it alone. Still gave the custom logo. I then did a full flash again. No luck.

I tried flashing with the full firmware, with re-partition checked and ZEROFLTE_USA_VZW.pit selected as the pit file (supposedly the pit file for SM-G920V). Still no luck.

If this is an issue with the bootloader, and this being a Verizon phone, I'm probably not going to have much luck, am I?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
As long as your hardware isn't corrupted or damaged, you should be able to restore the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanebelcroft:
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the hardware. The phone is 5 years old. Maybe the battery level reading issue was a symptom of that instead of software or battery problems. Maybe as a last hail Mary, I'll disassemble the device again and make sure all the connectors are really connected. I don't think it's worth buying a new motherboard. Better to buy a new phone, one I can root, anyway.

Thanks for the help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
I'd say it is probably worth upgrading anyway, the unlocked unbranded Pixel phones are available for decent prices on Swappa.com. They can be used on Verizon, are easily rooted, currently have plenty of custom development and will continue to get custom development for years to come.

If you like using root and having custom software installed, do NOT get anything that is a Verizon branded device, they lock the bootloader on absolutely everything they offer these days.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Latency is too high. But, you may be in a better data service than I am, so:

Steps to use phone as internet connection for Xbox360 & Mac

First of all, this requires the use of a computer or laptop with an ethernet port.

1. Connect your phone to your computer with internet sharing

2. Open "Network Connections" on your phone

3. Click on your Phone's internet connection

4. Ctrl+Click on your Ethernet port

5. Right-click on either one you have selected

6. Choose "Bridge"

7. Connect your Xbox360 (or Mac) to your computer/laptop via an ethernet cable.

Viola! It works!...at least it did for me.
