[General Questions and Answers] yanyan123321:
I had a notification that a Google Play system update requires the phone to be restarted in order to complete the update. So i did. I clicked restart now. Now my phone is stuck and is still at the reboot screen with miui logo for almost 2 hours now. What should I do? My battery percentage before i clicked restart was bout 90 percent still. It happened twice this week now. The same case happened. But on the first time that it got stuck, i restarted the phone for 3 times till it got past the boot screen. When i checked the settings, i was in android 11 but it was problematic because i cannot toggle the chat heads of messenger anymore. The chat bubbles feature also keeps on crashing. That's why i thought that maybe it was because i did not let it finish on its own. A day after that, i got the notification again, so i restarted and decided to wait for it to finish. and here i am now, still waiting for almost 2 hours already. Has this happened to anyone before as well? What should i do?
[General Questions and Answers] gr8leo87:
Same thing happened to me too.

Not just this my phone was stuck for 1.5 hours on the MIUI screen during the first firmware update as well and I had to reboot. After a couple of reboots it started up fine.

Now whenever I try to reboot for Google Play system update it gets stuck on MI screen.

Anyone figured out what should be done here?

Hi all,

I have an issue in that I'm trying to cast from my android mobile to my Chromecast. It won't let me though as I have a VPM on my mobile phone.

I have searched the net and read that I need to buy a VPM router to plug into the back of my existing router and then link Chromecast to that. Before I spend all that money and spend time doing that I wondered what every one thought to that idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nick
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
I presume that you mean "VPN" (as in Virtual Private Network).

Yeah, understandable that it won't work since the two devices would need to be connected to the *same* network, and the VPN is likely setting your default route through the VPN network, making it effectively impossible for your phone to connect to your chromecast.

It should be possible to block off local address space in your VPN's configuration. This would allow the phone to communicate with the chromecast on the local network. HOWEVER, depending on what exactly you are "casting", there could be other issues triggered by the fact that the phone and chromecast have separate public IP addresses. For example, trying to cast something like turdflix or amazon subprime would probably fail authentication.

Yes, moving your VPN from the phone to the router would solve the problem. Look at running openwrt on your router, or buying a router that can run it. Openwrt can run openvpn or other vpn software. You'll probably want a fairly powerful router with an ARM chip rather than MIPS for handling the cryptography.

Don't buy any BS "vpn router". They're universally trash.

Hey, with Android 10, i could lock my Spotify App, so that when i click "close all" in the App switcher, Spotify stays open and music doesn't stop playing.

I could then manually close the app by swipping it up, even if locked. Now with Android 11, when i lock the app, it doesn't let me close it by swipping up, not until i unlock it before.

Are you guys having the same issue?

Thanks!

[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] huupoke12:
I have managed to revive my "black screen, constantly restart" Nokia 3 (TA-1032). Actually the hard part is to find the correct firmware and DA file. So this will mostly be a resource sharing post than a fully guide.

Things needed:

Firmware (Source)

SP Flash Tool

Download Agent (Source)

nbo unpack script

Latest Python 3 (If you are using a Linux distro, it is most likely to be preinstalled).

Note that Python 3 means Python 3.x(.y), not Python 3.0.

If you are using Windows 7, you can only use Python < 3.9.

Steps:

Download (and install) SP flash tool (5.x).

Download firmware, the download agent and the script.

Extract the downloaded firmware

Install Python 3 if you haven't. Run the script with the downloaded firmware (.nb0) path as the argument. It will extract the files.

Run SP flash tool (with root/admin privilege).

In the Download tab: Select the "Download Agent" as the downloaded "Download Agent" file from the above link. Select the "Scatter-loading file" as the scatter file from the extracted firmware. And select "Download Only" mode. ("Authenication File" can be left empty). Just let it be the default (all boxes checked, even preloader).

Plug the phone into the computer and click "Download". If the tool just stucks at 0%, or any error occurs that prevent the flash from starting, press and hold both the POWER and VOL UP button on the phone for about 10 secs, and it will be restarted. The click "Download" again (try it again if the error still occurs).

After done with flashing (green tick), close the program and disconnect the phone from the computer. Wait for about 2 mins (idk if it is necessary) then hold POWER to start the phone. Then wait for a long boot ("NOKIA" logo).

Now you have unbricked you phone. Enjoy :)
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustAGuyWithAndroidPhone:
Hi,

Thank you for uploading this, I have problems too with my Nokia 3 TA-1032. It's different case than yours, but still I can't turn it on. Can you please write down, how exactly I supposed to run your script in Python3? I have difficulties to extract files. Thank you very much forwardly
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] huupoke12:
I'm assuming you are using Windows.

First, download Python 3 from here, then open the downloaded file to install Python.

While installing, if you see a checkbox that say "Add to PATH", check it. Then proceed to complete your installation.

After installing, download the "nb0 unpack script" to the same folder/directory as the firmware file (.nb0).

In that folder/directory, hold Shift and right-click on the file explorer, then click "Open powershell window here" or "Open command window here" (example).

Then type this into the command window (if you have changed the files' name, you also have to change them in the command)

python nb0-unpack.py NE1-215H-0-00WW-B02.nb0
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustAGuyWithAndroidPhone:
Thank you very much for your advice, the unpacking worked, but the flash not somehow. Here is a picture about what Error code I get.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] huupoke12:
You didn't select the "Download-Agent" as the Download Agent file from the link on my post. You are using the default Download Agent file of SP Flash Tool. You may also want to download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustAGuyWithAndroidPhone:
Yes, you right, because the SP tool don't accept that. Here is a pic about that:

I downloaded the latest SP tool from the link above here in your post.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] huupoke12:
Can you try placing the files to a "legacy-compatible" directory (no spaces, only ASCII characters (like a password)). For example, try placing the files (download agent, firmware, SP Flash Tool) in "C:\phone\nokia3\".
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustAGuyWithAndroidPhone:
Yes, I relocated as you writed down, and now the download agent is accepted (that one which you linked here above), in an earlier version from the Flashtool, not the latest one. Flashing still need authorization file somehow. ( I tried to flash a rom with Authorization file needed, probably that going to be the reason. Originally I wanted to downgrade my Nokia 3 TA-1032)
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nokia3root:
I have mistakenly deleted the os of my Nokia 3. PLEASE HELP!!!

The SP Flash tool is still not accepting the download agent!

PLEASE HELP!
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] huupoke12:
If you have done the steps exactly as in my instruction and it still fail, then I can't help you anymore. Your phone may be in a different state than mine.

I have successfully unbricked my Nokia 3 (in a constantly restart cycle) on Arch Linux (I don't use Windows). If you want to give it a try, and if you are used to Windows User Interface, I recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu is another popular choice, but its User Interface is very different from Windows, and Arch Linux is not easy to install if you are not used to command line interface and have some Linux knowledge).

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It worked!!

Now just have my story..... Actually, this was my friend's Nokia 3 which he gave me to root and I convinced him that I would root it and convinced him that there was no risk in it. Then I rooted the device for him very hardly but then I mistakenly deleted the os of the phone and then I searched the whole internet and found your post.... First of all, I got many errors while unpacking the nb0 file as I was using python 3.0, so I downloaded the python 3.8 installer but it wouldn't install because it was saying that that Service pack 1 was not installed in my Windows 7 but it was, hence I got very irritated and observed the log file and downloaded an update (KB3033929). Then I installed python 3.8 and thus I come to have a working mobile! I again rooted it and gave it to my friend and told him about these happenings.

Once again thank you very much!!! You saved my respect!!

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] snottzoid:
Hello.

I attempted to root my Onn 7" (100015685-E). After flashing vbmeta.img and magisk_patched.img, I rebooted. NOw the tablet only boot loops, showing the attached image and rebooting repeatedly. I have tried pressing and hold Vol+ and Power simultaneously to no avail.

Are there other button-pressing combinations that can cause this to into recovery/bootloader mode?

Thanks!
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] snottzoid:
I was able to recover my tablet. However, in attempting to get root, I think I accidentally flashed -A stock images onto an -E device. Does anyone have the 100015685-E stock images that I may flash with SP flash tool? (I have looked back through the threads. There are links to the files that probably worked sometime in the past, but not now).
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] ahmadlokito:

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
You should mention how you recovered so others searching for solution can read. If the links you referred to were for first gen 7" google trashed half my stuff and yes those links are dead. The 7" when I rooted it did not have a ramdisk in the boot partition and had to be rooted by patching recovery.img. If anything happens to recovery, any corruption of recovery.img you lose ability to enter recovery or fastboot on that tablet from what I can remember anyways.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] art1999:
I'm in a looping orange state on an 8 inch ONN tablet. How'd you get it out of the loop? I've put it into flashboot, but flashboot on the cmd line returns

<waiting on device>

any ideas?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] KMerrimanJr:
Instead of using Flashboot try following the guide I used. Also, if you already have the boot image you might want to try this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img. that will only flash the boot partition. The same goes for any other partition you have; Utility=fastboot, Cmd=flash, Partition=boot, recovery, system, etc and Flash file=.img. Sometimes you have to use adb to reboot your device into the bootloader in order to use fastboot to flash a partition.

Eg:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Have your phone serviced at a phone repair shop. You don't have the tools to recover your phone properly. You messed up now pay for professional help. To put it bluntly. Learn your lesson and don't play with your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] DuskGolem:
Hey man, you said you cleared the cache it means you can boot into twrp recovery mode, right? If you can, just boot into recovery mode and connect your device to pc/ laptop, it will be connected via MTP. After this you can copy any and all data from your device. If you want your app data as well, make a nandroid backup of your device from twrp ( doesn't matter if you jave boot loop) and after formating your phone you can use titanium backup to extract app data feom nandroid backup. Hope this helps...

Samsung has disabled the dialer code ages ago that would let you easily see the lock status. So you will either need a SIM to test it or you can check the IMEI. Also, don't forget to make sure the IMEI isn't blacklisted.
