[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] LGMAN2:
I had this Samsung note 5 N920Vfor about 5 years now and a couple of days ago I was talking on the phone and my call got dropped and no signal bars were appearing. I tried to changed the SIM card and reset the phone but no luck. The phone detects a SIM card is inserted but I don’t get any signal. Can somebody please help me with this?

Hello!

I'm new at posting threads, so I ask you not to be aggressive with me XD.

However, I'm writing this thread since I have experienced a hard brick on my Moto G8 Play because of flashing a wrong firmware while trying to root my phone with this tutorial: Root your phone with One Macro Firmware.

I struggled a lot in order too repair my phone, but finally I managed to solve the brick following a tutorial designed for the One Macro (the YouTube video is in Spanish and if you can understand it, you can check the link at the end of this thread). I hope this would help more people who experience a hard brick on their cellphones.

First of all, you've gotta install the Motorola Drivers.

Later on, you need to install the Mediatek drivers in order to get your phone regonized (if you are not sure whether your phone is recognized or not, you can check at the Device Manger). In the video, the guy installs also the Qualcomm drivers but, in my case, I had installed the Mtk Drivers because of being able to use the SP Flash Tool (which didn't work haha).

I would suggest you to also install the Qualcomm Drivers (you never know xd...).

Finally, you have to download the Blankflash of the Motorola One Macro (that is the file that worked for me, if your file did not work, you can use this one.

When you download everything, you'll have to open your Command Prompt and type the following commands (whiout the quotes): "bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" and "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF". Before you reboot your system, proceed to install the Motorola, Mediatek and Qualcomm Drivers. After you did that, you can reboot your system.

When you rebooted your system, be sure to have connected your phone. When your phone is connected, extract the contents of the blankflash, navigate to the folders and when you achieve the sub-folder with some files, search for the blank-flash.bat and, when you feel ready and think you've prayed enough XD, execute the file.

If everything went ok, you would have booted on the Fastboot Mode (your phone is alive again! :D). Sadly, this is not victory yet. You have to flash the stock rom of your phone, which you can download from here (you just search for the version you want or corresponds to your phone and proceed to download it).

.

This is my first thread and I hope to have helped some people in serious trouble with their G8's, since this forum is not very alive :(.

However, this tutorial is not mine. I just tried to explain it for people who don't speak Spanish nor knew about this.

Here's the link of the original tuto (f you speak Spanish, go ahead :D).

Thank you friend, i managed to revive my phone, thanks to you!!!

Hahaha... you're welcome, mate.

I'm glad this also worked for you. You can be now safe if you wanna mess up with your phone hahaha.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Amendowins:
As you said, this is not victory yet :(.

I was trying to root my G8 Play using the same tutorial you've mencioned, but something got wrong and my phone bricked.

Fortunetly, i managed to revive the poor guy following the instructions here by entering in fastboot mode.

Then i've downloaded the last version of the stock rom uploaded in 26-02-2021 03:25 (moto > lima_32 > official > retail) and tried to flash it, but without success. My phone is stuck at the Motorola logo.

Also tried to use Rescue and Smart Assistant, but the program says that can't read my phone's firmware and returns the message "unable to match the appropriate firmware some key information cannot be read from the device".

If anyone can help me, I will be very grateful!

PS: Sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil 🇧🇷

What does getvar all say?

fastboot getvar all
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Searching through the internet, I found a blankflash which corresponds to our beloved G8 Play, this is the link. If it asks you for a decryption key, there it is: ZyN4NTUuC_V6TWDPe5ECDy0H5RrpvrJVSOFQtDBKB48. You can download this, reboot your phone, open the blankflash.bat and connect the phone to the computer, let it flash and reflash all the entire rom you downloaded.

It may be worth a try!

If this doesn't work, you can try flashing the One Macro's Rom with the file I shared at the beginning of the thread.

Please let us know if your phone revived! :D
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
Blankflash won't work unless the device is in EDL mode
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
I know, but the device always starts on EDL/Mediatek Preloader Mode before getting screen signal. If you can open the blank flash before turning on the phone, the phone itself will load on the Preloader first and will flash the blankflash without a trouble.

[Edit] As a curious fact, my phone never hardbricked again after doing some blankflashes, I can't tell you how many times my phone needed exactly, but I can confirm that it happened. I was trying to get GSI to work on the phone, and I had to flash One Macro's firmware, expecting to trigger a hardbricked. To my surprise, the phone didn't do that. It may be a particular case or not. I also wanna say that by the time that I wanted to flash the Macro's firmware, my phone had updated to Android 10, I don't know if that exactly triggered that "condition", but I leave this in order to confirm of not my hypothesis haha.

My heads spinning from all the information aka post and threads, but im still stuck like my wizard on the 2nd splash screen.

I wasnt trying to upgrade the rom jst clear storage but after everything ive read i would like to upgrade to wm6 but first i want to get my wizard working.

I tried backing up the rom to the sd card but I get "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" So i take it my wizard is cid locked.

My IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.06 does that mean its a g3. My activesync 4.5 doesnt pick up my wizard is it because it cant boot, i tried with it in bootloader mode still doesnt pick it up.

So plz point me in the right direction to fix my wizard :(

This helped me when I was stuck on the first screen. For some reason, the Radio file was gone. Follow this exactly, it works. In my case (sounds like yours also), at the end of this you will at least have access to the phone again.

After your done. You will have a RGB screen, then follow these directions to load a base rom and unlock so you can keep going until you ca load WM6.1.

I've had many, many problems over the last 3 days trying to do this. I completed it all in less than a day, but when I used the phone it had terrible reception. I completely downgraded everything back to square one. Still bad phone reception. I was about to through it out the window, when someone called my wife's cell phone and she also had bad reception. I then put my sim in another phone, same problem. Well, at&t has a tower down for the last 3 days. :( What timing, it seems to work when not at home, but hard to test that way :rolleyes: Anyway, moral of the story is. Don't give up, keep plugging along.

Good luck.

If you can start your Wizard in bootloader, and it says "usb" in the lower-left, you can flash your original ROM. An active sync connection is not needed. Search for your carrier's ROM if you don't have it and I'd recommend the "no carrier ID" version of the RUU.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
Have you tried a 'Hard Reset',hope it'll work,if it boots up into working OS and it already has IPL/SPL 1.xx,use lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone and than upgrade.

If it doesn't work still after Hard Reset,most probably,its Extended_Rom is corrupted,its required to reflash a new rom.

Activesync doesn't work in absence of a working OS and in Bootloaders mode.Its not required for flashing a rom.Just get the phone into Bootloaders and hook the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen,if its there,it good to go and flash the rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edge200is:
ok so i downloaded the button rom finally but how do i flash it to my wizard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
Get your phone in Bootloaders,hook up the phone with pc via usb,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there run the 'RUU' application,it'll start to flash,it stops at a certain percentage,don't get worried and do anything,after a couple of minutes it starts again,let it complete 100%,the phone'll restart and boot up in new OS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edge200is:
which ruu application. I jst downloaded 1 which comes in the form of a rar file saying ruuwrapper. is that the right 1
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edge200is:
So after lots and lots and lots more reading i realized i dont need a ruu. all i need to do is get into bootloader mode plug in the usb and run the wizard button rom. It worked perfectly my wizard is back to life yip pee.

Anyway i wud jst like to thank u guys for all the help and compliment u guys on a gr8 forum.

Now my next challenge is wm6 with touch flo. :D

So basically I got a new phone which is the Galaxy A20, but I would like to have full control over the phone as I did on the previous phones I had.

I tried a lot of videos from youtube and tutorials from here & Google, but failed to the end.

I was able to unlock the bootloader, which was easy. But I cannot find any TWRP based on my phone version.

Not even a thread about SM-A205F-S9 (A205FXXS9BTL1) . I tried to flash some other versions' based TWRPs but all failed.

I don't even know how to proceed after "possibly" flashing TWRP

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] kitamurt:
hello, as title say i've got the tab a 10.1 2016 , lte version. i would like to install lineageos 18 (android 11) on this device, because it still work good and overall performance it's still good (not with the stock one, very slow). i tried this with twrp 3.5.0 (latest version), it flashes the img file, but it wont run and goes bootloop. then i flashed the modified twrp 3.2.3 for treble, flashed the treble.zip and the img file of lineageos (i seeked for a-only and 64bit version), but it ends in bootloop. so what's wrong with it? i noticed that only lineageos 16 gsi or other 9.0 roms run fine, going on android 10 gsi it wont be recognized. there's a way to get the android 11 gsi working on this device? it should be compatible, as from oreo it should be supported with treble project.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tracid1987:
Hi. I am new to flashing but is it possible you have to upgrade the bootloader first in order to be able to upgrade to lineageOS 18 (android 11)? Just according to my understanding from that thread. if you have older bootloader then it wont work. But i am new so i might be wrong and totally off :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] kitamurt:
i think that it doesn't depend on the bootloader, but the recovery hasn't been updated anymore by the developer. he might have lost interest in the device, so that stopped building roms too. the tablet was not that bad, but for my experience, too much slow and the battery didn't last so much. for these reasons i gave up and ended in selling it, replaced with the sm-t500 (tab a7 2020). waaay better tablet, now waiting for someone who unlocks this little beast and builds a custom recovery or rom.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] cesar.mk4:
Whats up everyone. Ive checked threads with no luck...

I have been having bluetooth issues since day one thinking an ota would fix it. I believe at this point its a hardware issue, but im curious if someone has had the same issue and found a fix. OnePlus customer service is being stubborn. They want a damn movie of me explaining the issue.

I can pair devices fine. However, when I put my phone in my pocket, let's say, it begins to chop up the audio. Even in my car, if i hover my hand over the phone it chops up the audio. It works fine if I'm holding it it my hands watching a movie or something.

Is there a bluetooth.img/Driver someone could provide that I can flash. Probably wont help but im tryna rule everything out.

Thanks!!

Just put TWRP on my 7th Gen Fire HD8. Plan on installing Lineage then Magisk, and then GApps.

Is the order:

1. Install Lineage (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unlocked-douglas-otas-lineage-14-1-30-jan-2021.4195349/)

2. Install google apps using Windows Toolbox

3. Install Magisk for root? (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/)

Or does the order not matter?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] NTGDeveloper:
That's how I did it. As long as Lineage is first, I don't think that the order of GApps and Magisk matters. Just make sure that these are both installed before the first system boot to avoid any issues with wiping the device again.

Hello, everyone.

I am a new Android developer and I need to record calls in my application.

I know that's almost impossible on Android 8,9,10,11.

My phones are Lenovo Vibe P1m (native Android is 5.1) and Lenovo moto g5s plus (Android 8.1). Actually, I tried some Android 7 ROMS from this site in order to record calls but unfortunately unsuccessfully.

I heard that the rooting of a phone could help.

Could you suggest any tool, utility, library etc in order to allow call recording for my custom application?

Thanks in advance,

Andrii.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
Hello everyone, after struggling with the installation of a custom ROM, I've managed to have a decent setup with ArrowOS, I have a problem that I don't know how to fix after trying many battery saver apps.

Basically, it drains 2% of the battery when idle (no data either WiFi or mobile, no GPS, battery saver option enabled); apparently the cause is the launcher: I use Nova, but I have tried the Arrow one and Microsoft and they are even worsening the situation (>3%/h).

With MIUI I've never experienced such a draining, I don't know what to do.

I have tried Greenify but had to remove it because it crashes when accessing the settings (don't ask me why because I've no clues); Naptime but, ironically, it was draining the battery on its own as well (3%/h); now I'm using BatteryGuru but I didn't find anything yet that has a real effect.

Any recommendation/suggestion?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] shivadow:
A bit late but you'll never get a custom rom that is "better" than the stock rom. Miui has plenty of features to restrict apps under power saving.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
Actually, I am running PixelExperience with Greenify and it's better than the MIUI, the draining with Arrow was insane despite Greenify: I mean, during the night it was draining 14/20% of the battery with data turned off and battery saver enabled while with PE it was 3/4% as a standard and 1 or 2% with the battery saver enabled.

I didn't understand the reason though, I have sent the logs to the dev but never had any reply.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] shivadow:
I noticed your omitting the fact that running a custom rom means running more code which consumes more power?

Stock roms are as efficient as is gets because that code used is minimal and proprietary to Qualcomm. Ie made under license. Custom roms are open source and contain lots of moot code to get around instruction sets that aren't publicly available.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
PixelExperence IS a custom ROM... Unless you think that it is the official ROM of Xiaomi...

What am I omitting?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] shivadow:
You misunderstood. Custom roms are slower because they use open code which contains more lines of programming. Stock roms use proprietary code specifically for that chip which is shorter and less cluttered.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
Sorry, I don't get your point and why you are accusing me first of omitting information, which I didn't, and second to misunderstand what you wrote, which I didn't again: I have opened this thread to ask for help because I noticed an excessive battery drain even when idle, I wanted to know if someone had the same issue and how they have fixed it, in case. Apparently, I was the only one with this phone who had the problem, so I tried my ways to solve it and the "solution" has been avoiding ArrowOS.

I didn't open this post for lecturing about custom ROMs and the additional code that they execute.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] shivadow:
To be messing around with custom roms you need to understand what they are and how they work. Especially the basic differences of stock vs custom and how they'll never be equal.

I don't mean to scald you, lecture you or whatever you want to call it, my point is that all this information around custom roms is well documented yet people expect miracles when it simply isn't possible. All custom roms allow is customisation over stock, nothing more. If you want battery then you sacrifice performance. If you want performance you sacrifice battery. It's how the universe works. That is all the roms allow.

Custom roms use a LOT more code than stock because proprietary drivers for the chips aren't in the public domain. That is what Xiaomi and other OEM's pay fees to Qualcomm for. As developers don't have that kind of money lying around they have to make do with github open source drivers. These are NOT perfect and are basically emulators.

That is why you have unexplained battery drain on custom roms. That is why you void your warranty when you install custom roms..
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
My impression is that I've asked how to find apples and you are explaining me why bananas are yellow...

I'm sorry, probably my first question wasn't clear enough: I've had excessive battery drain only on ArrowOS and I wanted to know if someone else had the same issue and how to fix it. As simple as that.

The thing you say about more code to run, customization, battery lasting time vs performance are true, but (and this will be my last reply on this thread because I feel stupid having to explain it over and over again) my current setup with Pixel Experience, a custom ROM I've tried, was OK already from the very beginning, it became even better with Greenify rooted, and, once again (I've already said that before), the battery lasts longer now than with MIUI.

I'm sorry if I seem upset, but it looks like I'm getting a lecture (that I don't need, mostly because I don't care) on custom ROMs and "their hidden secrets" when I have simply asked IF there was a solution of a specific problem I have had only with ArrowOS.

Closing note: I've tried Paranoid Android and the battery lasting time was great too, the same as MIUI.

My "simple and silly" deduction, considering that I've had this problem on ArrowOS but not with Paranoid Android nor Pixel Experience, simplifying dramatically, is still that it's an "ArrowOS thing" or my setup for it. I hope this clarify the situation.
