[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] TehAdventurer:
Thanks for the clarification but I still think the point stands for the actual specs as opposed to the region of production
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
Can you put a link to the chinese version a you bought on ebay for 1000 if it's even still available. I'm only seeing global version a 12gb 512gb for 1200
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
Thanks. That was some solid advice. I found the taiwan version online for around $1250 with tax which was the lowest. I was going to get that and the asus kunai 3 gamepad for $200-$300 but I ended up ordering the oneplus 8 pro 12gb 256gb for $820 with tax and I'll just pick up the razer kishi gamepad for $100. I find it suits my needs better after finding out the oneplus 8 pro runs all the same games in the emulators and it's ip68 water resistant. Plus, I save $500-$600 and it has all the same tmobile bands. Just gonna miss out on that 6000mah battery.

I couldn't even find a decent case for the rog 3 let alone a water resistant one. It's a must for working out.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] TehAdventurer:
Yeah, that's honestly was I was trying to get at. There's no reason to try and force yourself to like a phone that doesn't check every box for you, especially at it's price point. It's much better to get something that makes you happy and functions well than something that you forced yourself to like. Glad I could help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pikeru:
hey im new to the forums and just got my htc diamond and flashed the hard-spl mfg 1.24 i think on it, and then belite's english ROM. but does doing any of this void any warranty issues ? i got my htc in taiwan and got it from the telephone company. it has a two year warranty 1 year with the company and 1 year with htc or senao or something.

any answers would be helpful :). or any links to past threads as i have no idea how to look XD.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wardy:
Well ,

In a nutshell yes.

You can though , re SPL your device to the manufacturers supplied as simply as you SPL'd with the one you have.

There are loads of ROMS on here that are the shipped ones . My advice would be to download and save somewhere on your pc. Obviously if you have a hardware issue and still can use the device then reflash and then replace the original SPL. If however your unit is dead then this could pan out one of two ways . They will just replace your device and throw the other away which is good . Or they replace something power up and see that you have a diffrent SPL and then I think some questions would be raised. Including a bill .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pikeru:
When you say the device is dead, do you mean that it accidentally bricked during re-flashing/flashing ? But other than that, i can always revert the SPL and ROMs back to original, and they won't know that i changed it ? Thanks a ton for your help !

Edit: I think i downloaded the right ones from ChungHwa. Should I use ChungHwa's SPL and ROM or should I use the HTC ones ? I think they're different files in Taiwan, and that's where my warranty lies. My cousin (tore his Titan apart byte by byte) said that the HTC company could connect the Diamond to the main system and look through the sectors to determine any change or not. Would they go through all that trouble? And, would they be able to detect the foreign SPL or just see a change ?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] langhint:
good job！！ brother
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sluzalaxx:
Hi bro,

I formated data, factory reset and flashed the rom then the device is stucked in Lineage boot logo.

What can I do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Antonntminh:
Glad to see you still active on this, kudos!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Did you manage to get this to work?

How long did you wait?

Which device Apollo / Thor --- LTE variant?

Be interesting to see if anyone else has this issue...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Dragon Kumera:
I am getting the files now. I will update my post with my success or failure.

I did a dirty flash. Upgraded from 14.1 to 16 and it took some time to boot but all worked perfectly smooth for the update.

How do I get magisks installed?

Also thankfully the wifi connects but shows no signal.

edit. Tamer master freeze crashes the tablet hard on this update (tried again and it just crashed to the user screen like it been doing in the past). Disney plus still crashes on launch.

when the tablet first turned on the boot animation not showing correctly. It had a black screen bottom half of the display.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
Thanks [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]!

I've tried just deleting the data/cache/dalvik and flashing over 14.1 as well as deleting system/data/cache/dalvik and both work. Should have tried dirty flash first I guess.

I have tried to update device fingerprint thru the magisk module and since then (even after restoring fingerprint) I'm having problems connecting to WiFi (I'm not talking about the icon not displaying signal strength, WiFi just sporadically wouldn't connect to my AP). Any insight into it?

PS. I found that if I don't also flash gapps at the same time as the LOS, the initial boot-up is *much*-*much* faster than with it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Max-ML:
Update did not work for me stuck in a kindle fire logo. :eek:

Would try fresh install later.

Thanks for keepin' project alive! [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Looks like a dirty update been successful will be very dependant on what's installed and configured and on the device. I'll leave the opening post for now as is and monitor how things are going.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
That's strange that changing the fingerprint could affect the ability to connect to WiFi. Does it connect at all?

Get a logcat and I'll take a look.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] stangri:
I'll try to either adb push or download catlog from the play store to capture error messages. Could be that my WiFi AP is flakey.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] dex101010:
i have a problem after i tried to update tu this one it glitched and didnt work play sevices kept crashimg so i rebooted it and it automaticly rebooted into twrp after that i tried to return to 14.1 but it keep rebooting into twrp

the only thing ive noticed is the at the begining the cheking for digest file it doesnt find it
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Max-ML:
Looks like I'm the sole one so 'lucky' but unable to upgrade or fresh install. Even after full wipe.

No Lineage animation only kindle fire.

Back to 14.1

Good luck to all.

Forgot to mention - Thor tablet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Alf111:
I have had the same problem and have solved it like this

Try placing these commands in the TWRP terminal window:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

reboot

After this it should restart normally.

I haven't any problems with the ROM yet, good job [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] dex101010:
thanks that did the trick you are a life saver
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Dragon Kumera:
So i noticed my sound stopped working after the first while on the new build. Bluetooth works fine but sound through the speakers im getting nothing. Even rebooting does nothing
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Get a logcat and capture playing a ringtone or other audio file
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
just installed this rom looks fresh and cool especially sound is louder like stock rom but magisk isn't working when installing zip it says "installtion failed" "Unsupported/unknown image format"
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Will take a look into Magisk failing. Which version of Magisk were you trying to install?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
latest version 8.0.5 btw stock browser stucks at magisk official site I don't know why but on other sites I don't face any problem
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
I'm currently facing an issue my tablet's (thor) charging is 81% and it isn't getting charged anymore it is a bug or my tablet's problem btw I've not faced such issue in the past, anyone here facing such issue?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] hippooo:
Well, this ROM is incredible!

Even I dirty-flashed my Apollo (nonLTE) from latest 14.1 release, it works like a charm!

It's smooth like butter. I updated TWRP to latest version and installed 11/01 ROM & Open GAPPS pico as of 15/01.

It worked out of the box without any glitches at all.

Even Bluetooth /wireless works much more reliable compared to lineage 14.1.

Impressive!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Dragon Kumera:
Sweet! Funny thing the new build came out on my birthday
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
I'm facing another problem after turning off WiFi when I turned it on my AP isn't visible but other networks are available(every time rebooting after turning off saves me) and still facing battery not charging more than 75% issue, assuming reporting these bugs helpful? (Thor with latest twrp)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] double-gee:
I Just installed the Version from 11th of January on my THOR (Clean install) and WiFi does not work. I can see my Network but cannot connect. After entering the password nothing happens.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Could you send a logcat and dmesg for the Wifi bug.

Mine charges to 100% no probs, you may have a battery wear issue?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Not experiencing this issue myself, will need a logcat and dmesg
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] urigg:
If it helps, here's my experience: For some time now my device has temperature issues with the old battery. When device is cold, capacity is lower than after warming up while using, like 10% after turning on and 25% after 5 minutes of using. The other way round, if I charge it, it often seems to stop at 100%, and then drops to 90-95% while still plugged. Once I shortly switch it on, it continues to charge, so it eventually gets fully charged after 2-3 attempts.

Beside that, battery is still good for 2 weeks of standby while using it for 30-60min per day.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
I don't know how to do these things if anyone have any information's link regarding log cat and dmesg please post here or I'll do it myself after searching
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sarib:
I'm in same condition but mine's battery is working perfectly with 14.1
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Ok, I'll add this to the list to look into
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] urigg:
(just adding, my battery experience is based on 14.1.)

Did a quick test of Jan-11. Works as expected, no hot running tasks any more. Haven't seen it on deep sleep though, might need to wait a bit to settle.

The wifi firmware crash on wifi scan and certain APs in reach is still there, so this will be just a short visit to v16 for me again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Thanks for the feedback, will add this to the list also.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
hey my friend, good see you back.

happy new year.

i installed your latest twrp and updated to 11 of january

i have 2 hdx device (one with pico gapps one with micro g)

wipe system and all cache (take more long but works)

install your rom and magisk

the rom works more good!

bugs i encountered...

the wifi crash sometimes and need to reboot the device because dont show any wifi after the wifi was lost (when happen next time i take a log)

the volume is more quiet, i think to quiet to watch series etc. (drm works perfect!!!)

rom review...

twrp is fixed i tested with all two devices dont need for others commands like before!

battery last more long now and feels more fluent

zram is still missig :(

Signature Spoofing support missing :( --> patch for micro g (https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/-/blob/master/doc/DeodexServices.md)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Will add signature spoofing to the list. I avoided adding zram in this release because there were already a lot of changes going in. zram will go in at some point soon.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
I have updated post #3 with work to be done on the ROM, let me know if I have missed anything.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] jeffhanneman:
D*mn... Tried my forgotten thor, rooted on 13.3.1. 0, but unused for 6years now. Failed to boot to twrp (stuck on grey logo). Tried with twrp 3.5.0_9-0 and -1 by using flashify. Is there any other way to boot Into twrp?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
yes you need unlock the tablet and then boot per fastboot after you can flash twrp in twrp :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] aparthy:
flashed from 14.1 to 16 with only wiping davlik/cache

installed latest magisk, which worked fine for me.

getting se linux not enforced warning - is this normal?

unfortunetaly i couldn't test much further yet, since after second reboot i'm getting that touch code loop :(

https://xdaforums.com/t/remove-bypass-lockscreen-with-recovery.3530008

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] TallestDutchman:
I am using lineage-16.0-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-thor.zip, which is the newest listed as of this post. The install went smoothly, and the os itself is running slick with the exception of the wireless issue. The wireless connectivity seems to be crashed/down more often than working, and takes a reboot to get it back.

It appears to be on your list in post #3 already. If you want logs, I can take a look at grabbing some.

This is a newly rooted HDX7. The wireless was working with the original OS. Just an fyi. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Agenthex:
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try just "fastroot flash recovery <twrp file>.img" with ADB tools. After that, just hold volume up when force rebooting (holding power button until it reboots and keeping volume up held until recovery loads).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] urigg:
Its pretty much always the ath6kl firmware blob crashing right after a wifi scan, and it somehow depends on which networks are seen. Has been the same with the previous rom.

Speculative, might be the number of networks seen, or some special property of one seen network that crashes here.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] litan1106:
Great work. The wifi didn't work for me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
which device are you on?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Agenthex:
I'm not the guy you quoted, but I've had the WiFi drop on/before system finished booting several times. Sometimes it takes a number of reboots to start working. Sometimes it takes while to die. It's not especially predictable. I'm on Thor.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pxrave:
@ggow i think the easiest way is a watchdog script reboot the wifi driver when crashed. Do you think its a fast solution? Vor maybe magisk script
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] pttptuan:
wifi sometimes disconnect and can't find again. just reboot
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Jakee67nm:
Thanks ggow You saved my 7 hdx! The double DD entry in twrp terminal saved my bricked tablet! I used your new TWRP 3.5 and the 9/24 lineage 16... with open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20210126.zip. All works fine! Battery life is fine if people use the settings to adjust for powersave up to full performance in battery settings! Great Work Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Jakee67nm:
On linage 16 9/24/20 the wifi has worked fine but doesnt show on status bar as active! No problem otherwise.... did a complete wipe of all and a shutdown/restart to recovery then installed. I have had 1 instance of using advanced restart and when selecting recovery it bootrf back to system? but ob doing it again went to TWRP fine. Hope this helps...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Battery should be a lot better in the most recent version as I put a workaround for the netmgrd service.

So the temps and battery life should be as good as can be again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] uramisten:
I followed all the instructions, including the two dd commands, and the flashing went fine.. using pico gapps. Then it refused to let me install google calendar.. ok.. I can live with that.. but gmail just didn't connect to the registered account.. any wouldn't let me add my address because that was already registered... so... now what? Has anyone else experienced this?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Grant permissions to gmail and it will work fine. Also you can side load google calendar. Download it from somewhere like apkmirror.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] uramisten:
I've granted it pwemission to access accounts.. no go yet... The install of google calendar throws an unhelpful error when installing from playstore - what could cause that?.. but yes, I'll try the sideload. Also it now - after a factory reset - boots up and the screen just keeps flashing on and off . I see the lock screen and then it blinks back off - I can't even log in. Have you experienced this? I'm going to start over from scratch and reflash the OS ... and try the perms and sideload... thanks for the fast response!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] ggow:
Some google apps from playstore have always been problematic, think it's to do with our device been picked as not suitable based on the device fingerprint. Played the game of changing it periodically but it works for while then gets picked up again.

Don't set a unlock pattern or pin yet. Somewhere in this thread it's linked where you can remove the pin or pattern without having to start over.

For gmail, not sure will try it on my tablet and let you know.
