@BeatNoMoreYT, how did you get MSM Download Tool to work? I badly need it to unbrick my phone. TIA
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeatNoMoreYT:
I put the phone in download mode using ADB and I used the Qualcomm drivers.

So you have OnePlus drivers tho? You have to install them with driver signature integrity disabled
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rophiroth:
Have you restart your phone into EDL mode I guess(vol up and down and power at the same time). If still have problem with drivers you should complete uninstall the "unsigned" driver and reinstall with admin access the right ones.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
So, I finally got around it by looking for a Windows 10 PC. It seems the only way to do it on a Windows 11 is what you say @BeatNoMoreYT --that is, install the drivers with the signature integrity disabled. Good to know for future reference! Anyway, I managed to do what you linked above and I'm now on 11.0.5.7.IN55CB. I just unlocked my phone again, but now I'm trying to figure out the next steps to root. I'll follow that thread in the link you gave above. Thanks!

@rophiroth, thanks so much for responding. As I said above, I managed to get around it using a Windows 10 machine, although it would have been much easier doing it the way you've suggested. Thank you as well!
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
One question, though, is this the latest and correct TWRP image: twrp-3.7.0_11-0-instantnoodle.img?

When I flashed it to my recovery (recovery_a and recovery_b), I couldn't boot into recovery to get into TWRP. Was it because I wasn't rooted yet?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rophiroth:
From the latest I known twrp is not working on oos12 or oos13, so if you intend to update to the latest original build you will dont use twrp. If you update your sistem you will have to do the magisk uninstall to restore before start intall, and before reboot install direct, If you lose root you can recover extracting and patching boot from the full package of your version, then fastboot boot it
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
I only remember how to flash ROMs using TWRP. How would one flash custom ROMs without TWRP then? I'm on version 11 (still 11.0.5.7.IN55CB) and although I can install TWRP from the Play store, it crashes constantly. I guess it doesn't work for OxygenOS 11 either?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeatNoMoreYT:
I did all that on my windows 11 machine
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeatNoMoreYT:
No need to install TWRP, just follow this: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-magisk-for-android-11-oos11-t-mobile.4229305/

If you need the recovery.img I can send it
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
Thanks. I already followed that and I was able to get root. Are you able to update to the latest OxygenOS without losing root?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeatNoMoreYT:
No, it's not yet possible to do that on a T-Mobile variant
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
Understood! Thanks for answering all of my questions.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rophiroth:
Yes for custom roms there is no problem, you have to get the specific twrp moded for oneplus I guess... One of the reasons I get a oneplus is because OOS is good enough for me without custom ROMs so im not an expert on oneplus custom roms... srry :)

Without twrp I guess people use fastboot flash on image files.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rophiroth:
I keep in my tmo converted to global with this method https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-8-pro-magisk-rooting-guide/
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mutiny:
I just tried the link you gave above and my phone got stuck in the pink T-Mobile screen. I began only by unlocking my phone and doing nothing else before proceeding with the instructions in that link. In fact, I started from scratch again using the MSM Download Tool and then going into fastboot mode and unlocking the phone.

Oh, well. I tried. I kind of wanted to avoid custom ROMs, if I could help it, as long as I could get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KHALISTAN:
What happens if I'm running android 10? Can I still flash this boot.img?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_.most:
Hey all, a long while back I rooted my t-mobile oneplus 8 5g, it has 11.0.6.8.IN55CB.

Now, when I go to install certain apps, it says my device isn't compatible.

I suppose it is time to upgrade the OS.

What is the latest OS that is eligible for this device? Is it rootable? And, practically, can someone tell me what guide to follow to upgrade since I get notified to do t-mobile OS upgrades but they always fail.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] losonn:
What are current best practices for protecting yourself as a seller when selling on swappa / ebay?

Things I do now:

(1) Photograph the item extensively (proving possession, physical condition, and serial number)

(2) Video single take of item powering on / doing tasks, packaging the item and showing packaged item weight on scale

(3) Only shipping to paypal verified addresses

(4) No international buyers

Also, is there any way to be safe *and* still sell an items as "factory sealed"? There are many listings for factory sealed items, but wouldn't not at least quickly opening the box to get photo / video documentation (1 & 2 above) complicate shipping damage claims and invite buyer fraud? Listings advertised as "factory sealed" go for slightly more so when reselling an item that was received factory sealed it'd be ideal to leave it sealed, but I can't understand how having zero photo documentation of the physical phone, tablet, drone etc. doesn't significantly increase risk to the seller.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] xJasho:
Hi, i have an F2 Pro.

My phone had a charging flex problem (it was due to the charging flex not properly connected and needing aditional physical pressure.) So, after watching some tutorials on youtube, i figured how to fix the issue but i had to buy the glue for the back cover first. So meanwhile i just pressed and/or twisted the bottom of my phone and then it would charge until some soft fall would cause the flex to disconnect internally again.

After a failed attemp to open the back cover i shattered it, so had to buy a new one on aliexpress and wait for it to arrive.

Cue some days after, im using the phone in my car and when the phone does feedback (vibration on gestures) it was also making a weird noise from the speaker which happened as the same time as the vibration motor worked. (this issue happened a lot and usually a restart fixed this. So i restarted my phone and it got stuck on MIUI logo.

Since then i've tried to reset/wipe on the stock bootloader (i never modified rom/recovery/bootloader).

So since my phone is locked AND (apparently) bricked, i have searched through XDA and similar places and all info on phones stuck on boot logo seem to require some custom recovery solution or flashing again. So i resorted to making my own thread (in hope that some people will read and help me) because i can't figure out what to do or how to fix my phone.

Summary:

-My bootloader is locked, stock rom MIUI 12.

-Boot gets stuck on MIUI logo

-Tried to use MiFlash tool but doesn't work on locked phone.

-Searched for solutions but all require custom recovery usage.

Trying this right now, but i don't think i have the right ROM, need to charge my phone a bit because it's kicking me out of mi assistant mode and asking for charger.

Does this require "normal" rom or fastboot rom?

Now something else messed up :( The phone charges but there's no data going through. My pc (or any software) doesn't detect the phone in either MIAssistant or fastboot mode.

Guess i don't have the skills, knowledge, or tools to troubleshoot the usb port because i don't even know if the usb port has more than one flex, because i had a problem on the over-the-battery flex that needed more pressure on both ends to not have trouble charging the phone. (my RN8T is detected just fine by the pc.) So i got a nice cute paperweight.

Sadly I was out of warranty before it started to have trouble charging.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] NOSS8:
the K30 pro was released 10 months ago and the poco f2 pro 8 months ago.

could be released earlier elsewhere but it's not been a year .

:unsure:

And on the packaging which version is this?

Looks like M2004J11G

I ask this because some vendors install global versions on Chinese phones and in case your pc redetects it, the version to flash will be different.

Legal warranty (required) is only 3 months in my country, some stores (and for some products) give you a 1 year warranty, the store where i bought my phone only offers the 3-month legal warranty.

does this seem ok to you? Since the damage could either be on the flex or the board... i thought why not buy both, im already losing a lot of money if i can't fix the phone so getting these two pieces for 40usd seems fine.

Also, i already tried every type-c cable in my home, as well as all usb ports on two computers, the problem is definitely phone-related.

Ok , so a few weeks ago i dropped my phone twice. From the next day i was facing problem with charging and usb-otg was not working , One side of the Earphone only worked.

And somehow i f***ed my system up also the recovery. now its pretty much dead

Cant flash anything cause usb is not detected

Went to few service centres, they said they have changed the pcb board but no luck, it only charges, no usb connection.

So, wadda hek do i do now?

Any magical way to flash without usb connection?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] afonso14401:
Try to charge your phone with a brick. If it starts charging it means it's not totally dead. You can either try to flash a recovery with a usb 2.0 port from your pc or update the pc adb fastboot drivers or flash in edm mode wich requires opening the phone e connect it to the pc while touching in 2 specific spots. If nothing of that works you usb board may be fried and you can always buy one from AliExpress for cheap. Good Luck
[LG Wing Accessories] Steamer2499:
Does anyone know of a "Camera Lens Protector" that doesn't interfere with flash while recording video and taking pictures?
[LG Wing Accessories] blackhawk:
The builtin factory one... replace if needed.
[LG Wing Accessories] kaluna00:
I've always just got a case that stands tall enough to make sure the camera lens does not come into contact with the surface.
[LG Wing Accessories] Steamer2499:
Where would you buy a factory replacement and how much would it cost?
[LG Wing Accessories] blackhawk:
You're jumping the gun. Google it... Samsung can replace it as can repair centers.

If you don't have a good case the display is more likely to get destroyed. I be more concerned with a good case and screen protector, both will most likely be a pain to find for a new model.

I don't even worry about damaging my cam as it's well protected by the case. The only thing I do is not use it as a hand hold as your fingers are more likely to mar it if you touch it. Even my S4+'s factory cam plastic lense protector is not scratched after many years in the desert.
[LG Wing Accessories] Steamer2499:
The lens protectors that I did buy was prefect for protecting all three lens and taking pictures and video recording. But as soon as you use the flash for either, the flash glare from the corner of the lens protectors was the problem.
[LG Wing Accessories] blackhawk:
I use the wet apply Gorilla IQ Sheild for my display. "Self healing" urethane that last a long time and stays put. Something like that but with any added layer you increase the refraction index.

Other undesirable things can happen with uncoated and/or poorly placed optical elements like back reflections and flaring.

Who knows maybe Samsung optic engineers really knew what they were doing... don't screw it up.

People want to protect the lense protector... doesn't really make much sense. This isn't a high dollar front lense, it's a piece of ordinary glass or polycarbonate.

Lense protector protectors are a gimmick.

Worry about a good case and screen protector instead because you will need them.

Whenever I am fast charging my S21 Ultra I am experiencing a weird almost vibrating feeling when softly rubbing my finger over the back camera bump. The feeling isn't there when the phone isn't charging. May I get some feedback whether or not others are experiencing the same? I tried a voltmeter and it shows about 0.3 V on the camera bump when charging
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's too low a voltage to percieve unless you got shark skin.

Probably it's the vibration you're feeling is the voltage converter.

Fast switching power converter. It's regulaing some major current flow when fast charging.

Inductive coils are commonly found in these power converters; that's probably what you feel.

That is strange. I went to a store across from where I work, the person in the store changed the sim card and rebooted the phone and all was fine after that. The hardest part was to find a sim tool in the store since they seem to find their way into pockets and out of the store. Did you see the "credit card" it came on to verify it was the same one they gave me? If there's another store handy, it wouldn't hurt to try another time. There was no problem with switching mine over. It now says TMobile.

Ok guys

I am turning to you guy's as there seems to be so many knowledgeable people on here.

I have had a Compact III which I am very happy with which shipped with copilot live for sat nav duties which I am again more than happy with.

Now here's the problem I would also like to use GPS tuner for off road navigation however I have been unable to get GPS tuner to connect to the internal GPS it just hangs the whole phone and I have to remove the battery etc. to get going again.

I have searched Google the GPS tuner site etc. and they all agree that there is a problem with the HTC phones and the internal GPS.

I have tried to use a port splitter by Jan but they say about manually allocating COM4 but when I try to do this it is not shown in the splitter drop list nor can I manually write in the box.

Is anyone here aware of the internal GPS problem on the Artemis and how I may solve the problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's interesting! I was on the lowest brightness and it says at 120 all the time, if I move the brightness a little higher, the refresh is 60 or 120, more importantly AOD is now 60.

When move back to lowest brightness, stuck again at 120, for AOD as well. Wonder if that has been killing my battery. I thought the refresh should go down to 10?
