Can you send a screenshot?
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
When I'm free, I'll send it. Now I'm kinda occupied xd
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
This is what I get when I try to flash the Android 10 One Macro firmware. Everything else flashes normally, but the system images just can't.

I don't know if it's the firmware I have installed or not.

PD: Have you used Antutu benchmark? It gave approximately 160000 points, but on the original firmware, I didn't checked haha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
When that happends, the device starts normally? or just get bricked? I've read that happends because the size of the system.img is too large or because is an old fastboot version, but i'm not sure, maybe could be a bad download, i'm going to try haha. About antutu, i think that it gave 130000.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
If you flash everything until the system, it'll hardbrick. If you flash only the system, it'll reboot as if you never flashed the system image hahaha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Maybe I have to flash the One Macro firmware through the mediatek preloader driver, since it could be just a problem of the G8 Play's fastboot.

Do you have the G8 Play's fastboot or the One Macro's one? Haha

In my case, whenever I try to flash the preloader.bin or the gpt partition, I get a hardbrick. Fortunately, my device starts on the mediatek download mode and I can flash the respective blankflash and revive the phone xd
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
I have the g8 play's fastboot
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Wow... In my case, my phone wouldn't allow me to flash the One Macro's Rom without getting hardbricked hahaha. What a luck I got xd
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
but i dont tried with the android 10 rom yet, or you're talking about the android 9 rom too?
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Yep, specially I'm referring to Android 9. G8's fastboot just ends corrupted or something whenever I try to flash the One Macro's Rom. However, I can flash One Macro's fastboot throughout the mediatek preloader driver mode and then just flash the One's rom without any problem haha

It would be wonderful if more people tested this on their phones, so many we can find a solution for these inconveniences!
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
Wow, thats rare, i don't have that problem when I flashed the rom. Later i'm going to flash the android 10 rom and tell you what happends.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Good luck, mate :D. I think maybe that error is related to the G8's fastboot, because of not expecting larger system images. Maybe the One Macro's fastboot can allow to flash larger images. It's just a theory I have. hahaha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
I've got the same problem, maybe the g8 play system partition is smaller than the one macro, idk, i'm looking for a solution but there's nothing that helps
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Do you think that flashing the One Macro's fastboot could make any difference?

The principal problem of doing that is the risk of hardbrick. However, the phone, as I can tell, is always able to start on the mediatek preloader driver in order to recover it.

If the One's firmware doesn't work, it may be an storage's problem.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
Idk bro, i'm affraid to **** the device, so for now i'm going to keep with android 9
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Hahaha... Me too, bro. I'm amazed your device didn't hardbrick when installing the One Macro's Rom xd
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
I hope with this advance some experienced user developes a 64 bit android 10 rom to the g8 play, like some people done with the g7 play, or at least try to find a solution for that problem.

Thanks for your help, and good bye.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
I think I managed to flash One Macro's Android 10 rom! Apparently, my theory was correct, I needed to flash the preloader.bin and the gpt partitions of the One Macro Android 9's rom, so I could update to Android 10!

However, I can't pass the recovery mode. It just tells me that my data may be corrupt (maybe the rom is too much for the poor system partition hahaha)

Now I'm stuck again. Nevertheless, I'm happy at least it tried to boot up xd

Pd: Thanks to you for motivating dialogue on this forum! :D
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Update: I just reflashed the rom and it booted up normally! hahahaha

At the beggining, the system is kinda laggy (that's not a surprise, since the system is heavier and is a 64-bit OS). However, the G8 Play can handle it after a while. I'm going to use it more in order to see if the G8 can handle the system flawlessly.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
So you only flashed android 9 rom's PGPT and preloader.bin? And the rest of the files from the android 10 rom? Have you made some benchmark to test if it performance is good?
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
To assure not to break something, I flashed all the rom and later on I upgraded it.

If you wanna flash the rom, be prepared with the blankflash, in case your phone enter on hardbrick (surprisingly, to my phone, that didn't happen; however, it's better to be prepared). However, you decide if you want to flash it or not.

The performance is very weird. I ran Antutu and the results sometimes are similar to the stock Android 10 with 140000/150000 points, approximately. Other times, the results go to the 150000/160000. However, I saw more results between 140000 and 150000 points.

In my case, my phone gave me between 135000 and 140000 points on stock Android 10. So, this is technically better hahaha.

Some things to point out:

The phone is VERY laggy when running the initial configuration. If you wanna restore your apps, the phone will still be VERY laggy.

It'll take longer to make the first boot. Also, you can have a recovery error, which you can dismiss or reflash the rom if a restart doesn't work.

The initial configuration will take longer than normal, specially at the part where Android sets up something haha.

When the phone gets used to the software, it'll be flawless. That's my actual experience haha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] CÆSAR:
How was it? Still working good? Any problems? You tested it deeply? I'm not sure to update to android 10 if the performance is poor
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
In fact, I was using it for a few days. It's better for you to stay on stock Android 10 or the Macro's Android 9. The performance of the Macro's Android 10 rom gets very diminished by the ram. It's not unusable, but sometimes it stutters. The 2gb of ram finally weren't enough for 64 bit Android 10 hahaha.

You'd better stay on Macro's Android 9 or upgrade to stock Android 10.

Hope I helped you! :D
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonycollado:
Como le hiciste, tengo android 10, que comandos pusiste en fastboot, la otra vez lo hice cuando tenia android 9 y me aparecio el boot loop. Gracias de antemano
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Se supone que deberíamos hablar en inglés, pero bueno, te explico. Mi celular entró en hardbrick al flashear la ROM del One Macro... Para evitar que eso pase, te sugiero que evites flashear el bootloader y la tabla GPT... Si aún así pasa, la única solución es hacer un blankflash para flashear el bootloader del One Macro... Así también resolví mi hardbrick y pude ejecutar la ROM del One xddd

Aclaro: Parece que los problemas ocurren para dispositivos en particular y no todos jajaja.

We are supposed to speak in English, but hey, I'll tell you. My cellphone went into hardbrick when flashing the ROM of the One Macro ... To prevent that from happening, I suggest you avoid flashing the bootloader and the GPT table ... If it still happens or you get a bootloop, the only solution is to do a blankflash to flash the One Macro bootloader ... I also solved my hardbrick and was able to run the One's ROM xddd

To clarify: It seems that those problems occur for some specific devices haha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonycollado:
Hello, I want to patch the boot.img file to be root user, I have moto g8 play too.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
You'd just download the Magical Manager apk and the rom of the G8's Android 10 or the Macro's Android 9... The patching will not work for Android 9 stock rom. I still don't know why.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonycollado:
My phone has android 10
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
If you don't have your rom downloaded, you could try searching for your specific rom on lolinet mirrors. Later on, you'd have to copy the "boot.img" file of the extracted rom to your phone, install magisk and patch the file. After that, you will have to copy the patcher file to you pc, download adb tools and proceed to reboot your phone on fastboot mode in order to flash the boot file.

You can look for your rom here
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonycollado:
@RandoMike

With

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Or with

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

?

And thank you for reply me
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
It depends. However, when I flash, it doesn't matter if I do it with boot or boot_a, since fastboot recognizes which is the current bootable slot of my phone. If you are not sure, you can write "fastboot getvar all" and you check which is your bootable slot in order to flash it hahaha.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonycollado:
Muchas gracias, ya lo voy a hacer, perdón por preguntar tanto es que con root se configura mejor el teléfono.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Don't worry. I know root can make our phones fly haha
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Riucario:
I tried this way, and worked until i installed the firmware for the one macro. Then I tried to root and the cellphone is bricked. I doesn't start and the computer can't recognize the phone. It only detects "MediaTek Usb Port (COM 7)". Can someone help to fix this issue?, I'd be very thankfull to solve this backdraw.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
You can try this tutorial that I wrote since I happened to be on the same situation as you. Your phone is now hardbricked, but you can recover it. Good luck, mate :D
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Riucario:
I tired to use your tutorial, but didin't work. Had lo look antoher tutorial and restored to g8 play firmware again. Then hybrized to One Macro again, then tried the root process.

This time.... worked! It's finally rooted, the only issue is that my bank appliactions are blocked and I tired to use the hideRoot characteristic in the magisk manager but it doesn't work (tried rebooting the cellphone too). If anyone knows how fix this it would be perfect and i'll be thankfull.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Well, in my case, magisk hide wasn't working properly until I patched SafetyNet. I dunno if you've already checked SafetyNet status (in my case, it failed initially on hardware attestation). Maybe you can try patching SafetyNet with this tutorial. Good luck! :D
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Riucario:
Had to repackage the Magisk Manager to make function the banking app. Another question: There's any way to install twrp on this?, tried to look but with no avail.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
Sadly, there's still no way to get TWRP to this phone.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Riucario:
Any way to install custom ROM's?
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
I just tried project treble, which didn't even work on the official firmware. It worked for me when I was on One Macro's firmware.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Riucario:
I was trying to install the lineage os, but i try and I keep getting the error:

(bootloader) erase permission denied

FAILED (remote failure)
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RandoMike:
In my case, fastboot flashed lineage correctly. When rebooting the phone, I just got a dm-verity error. The thin is that it got stuck in a bootloop. It didn't matter if I used the A/B slot version nor the only A... Nothing. But when I was on Macro's firmware. The slot A only version worked for me. But I still got the dm-verity error.
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonim4to:
hello, can someone help me?

I did the process and my cell phone hard bricked, and I'm trying to recover it, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer :/
[Moto G8 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonim4to:
I managed to recover, and install the one macro rom :)

is there anyone that can advise me how to reinstall the OTA in my OP3T where there is nothing install. TWRP says when I try to wipe all , that is unable to mount it. Now I have not system at all, and I am trying to reinstall the OTA from OnePlus. How can I introduce the OTA in twrp so I can install it againa?

In TWRP you can use adb to push a copy of the zip file to /sdcard and then install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dakoos2:
Welcome,

My S7 started being lazy recently. Everything is much slower and the battery performance is tragic. Accu Battery says it's 64% so I think I can still use the actual battery for some time.

But... I'm currently on stock 8.1 but I was wondering if I would install some custom ROM like Lightroom or Lineage OS - would it be a good idea?

The most important would be for me to make my S7 fast and improve the battery performance. Also, the banking app & google pay should work (I will fix this with Magisk I guess).

Any ideas? Is this worth changing? :)

since skyfire can play embedded flash 8 (according to their site and demo video) is there a flash player 8 or higher avabile for free download? is flash lite 2.1 higher that flash8?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] baymon:
I thought they incorporated Silver Light inside skyfire instead of Adobe Flash. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ericmcintire:
from their newsletter tonight :

We were excited to launch the photo/video widget and add Silverlight support to Skyfire without a client upgrade. These additions gave our users the ability to watch any of the 2200+ hours of Olympic coverage provided by NBC.

As far as I know, skyfire uses both... I can watch all youtube/myspace videos AND watch streaming live MLB from MLB.tv :-) I'm a VERY happy camper
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mrpiggae:
Skyfire is a a server-side rendering browser. The reason that flash and all that works so good with Skyfire is because

their

desktop servers are viewing the pages and streaming a condensed version of it to your phone screen.

So no, there is no way (yet) that I know of to download Flash 8 nor Silverlight for the PPC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] snachez:
I also enjoy knowing that they stream all my passwords, webmail, banking etc through their servers too.

I'm sure they're legit, but it still not quite kosher.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Restorer:
Hmmm. Hadn't realised that. Hadn't been taking much interest as we outside the USA have not been allowed to participate.

Do we assume they will be charging a hefty fee for this product/service when it comes out of beta?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mrpiggae:
Bingo. Which is why I rarely use Skyfire, only for occasional Youtube visits or if I really need to catch an engadget video or something. Opera 9.5 handles my browsing needs for the most part.

I will never use Skyfire for anything serious or any site that requires a password. I simply do not trust them...I mean, you put your password in a site, and the Skyfire servers have to enter (and store, as I'm sure they keep a log of all input information) that for you on the actual web page.

Not safe, gents. I'm sure they're totally legit, but why take a chance just to watch Youtube?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Jonathan1683:

What I don't like about logs like that is, no matter how well laid out the security policy is, and how great thier intentions are, there is still a chance the data will leak.

Recently an unknowing user sold a company laptop on ebay for 60 bucks. It had hundreds of thousands of social security numbers, account numbers, and answeres to user's secret questions.

This was a very large finacial firm, with a solid security policy and the best intentions of keeping user's information secure.

Too bad a non technical person got a laptop with some old info on it, and decided he should sell it for little to no money.

This does not include hackers and other nefarious people. Just because they want to keep our data secure, does not mean they are capable of doing so. They may not have the technical expertise to maintain a secure network, or they might not have enough money to purchase good equipment to help keep the bad out.

Humans work at companys, and some of them are assholes. End of story.

Does gcam work?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] linus207:
It's actually default camera app.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
I've just installed it myself - the latest JoysKo version from 4pda.ru. Have not tested it thoroughly, though. Will report more soon. But...

GCam works. After having tried some two dozen versions (which either stopped immediately or did not install at all), I used MGC_6.2.030_FinalRelease_Bulkin043_V9Q, which is known to work on AOSP-9 based custom roms. I am not entirely sure it's perfect, but the basics work. (One may have to change the saving location, though.)

The only issue so far once fully booted - but I barely tested it - is that I seem to have deep sleep problems with third-party launchers (Nova, Lawnchair 2 etc.); Trebuchet works. It does not seem to be caused by widgets - but I need to explore more.

Another problem is common from AOSP9-based 3rd party roms: sometimes, on rebooting, the phone gets stuck (the "Unlocked" logo phase). A simple restart resolved it.

I have not sorted out passing SafetyNet yet (Magisk props fingerprints are apparently not enough).

Happy to report the terrible scrolling issues plaguing AOSP9-based roms here on XDA are completely absent.

Finally, battery life, even without deep sleep, is very good.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] linus207:
How did you recognized deep sleep issue? I am currently running Lawnchair 2 having 94% deep sleep while screen off.

Maybe it's gapps issue/play services? I am using open gapps test version for 11.
