[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
If you're using a relatively new phone (shipped with android 9.0 or later versions), you most likely have an encrypted data partition. This kind of encryption is relatively new and is called FBE (File Based Encryption), where every file and folder are encrypted separately. (those random file names!)

To access your data partition through twrp, you need to input your lock screen (or boot-up pin) credentials when prompted at the beginning, if you don't receive such a warning at twrp startup, then your custom recovery image may simply not support decrypting storage. In that case use another one :).

thank you

but I have flashed orange fox recovery and twrp latest in both it is showing the same random file names
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mristic2719s:
Hello guys.

I had recently bought Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Serbia.But , i didn't know that it was locked on T-mobile network.

In our country , we don't have T-mobile provider.

I have called T-Mobile USA but they said that the account exists for that IMEI and that they couldn't unlock the phone because i didn't know any info about account.

Is it possible to unlock phone ? The option for unlocking bootloader is not showing in developers mode.

Is it maybe hidden ?

Thank you very much !
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] steveo314:
you need to go back to the person that sold it to you and have them go through T-Mobile to get it unlocked. If they can't do that for you, than its a stolen phone.

Hi All,

Yesterday my LG Q Stylo plus was gone into black screen, and could not soft reset or hard reset. When I put it on charging, it vibrated again and again every few minutes, still with black screen. Then I opened the back cover, unplugged the battery to force it power off. Then I tried to factory reset it, but failed to start. Today I tried to flash it, but the PC could not detect the device even though I already downloaded LG driver. In this case, I can not flash it. And it showed on the screen said " FASTBOOT MODE.........". Please see attached picture. Anyone who know how to fix it please help me. Thanks a lot!View attachment 5197835
[General Topics] quickishfm:
Can you get into recovery? If so, reset it in recovery or flash a new stock (or custom) rom onto it. In fastboot mode you may be able to directly boot into a custom recovery or flash a custom recovery if you need to.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I tried to flash a new stock rom on it. But PC could not detect the device, even though I already installed the driver. I tried to hold the power button with volume down key to reset it, it didn't work and the screen showed nothing but black. Only after the battery drained out, I plugged the charger on, the screen will be lit and showed the message like above picture showed. Is there any other way to let PC detect the device so that I can flash it?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
If you're using Windows, maybe boot into a Linux Live USB (like linux mint for e.g.) and download adb and fastboot. Linux usually works all the time for me with fastboot, so try that and see if it can detect your phone. If detected you might have to run

fastboot oem unlock

which WILL erase your data, but you can't flash anything without doing so.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I just realized from the picture, msm8953 refers to the processor. Lock state is locked, does it mean the processor is locked? So it can't be soft reset or hard reset? How to unlock the processor? I remember the phone was running very very slow, then it went dead. Is it right that the processor was running on heat , so it was locked?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
No. LOCK STATUS on Fastboot likely means the bootloader is locked to not allow custom images to be loaded. This is purely for security and can be unlocked by running the Fastboot oem unlock command I wrote about above. This wipes your data so that, no thief can steal your phone, unlock the bootloader, and browse your files with a custom recovery, as your data will be wiped. I'm not 100% sure but across the few phones in my life that use Fastboot, it has always meant the oem lock to prevent custom images for security reasons.

Any slowdowns occur either because battery saving scheme, full RAM, many processes running, malware, etc. Its not to do with Fastboot.

You should be able to see the device in Fastboot on Linux. Try and flash a custom recovery first, but it might not work because it's locked. In that case you'll need to unlock the Fastboot (which will erase your user data) and then flash a custom recovery, from which you can flash a new rom. Or flash stock recovery and load your official ROM zip if it's supported

Good luck, let us know if you have any issues.
[General Topics] Bhanu8082:
as

quickishfm

said just connect your phone to computer and type

fastboot devices

if device is connected it will be shown on screen

after it just use command adb oem unlock

to unlock bootloader.

if you dont want to unlock bootloader then you will have to erase data partition by using command fastboot erase data
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I downloaded adb and fastboot on Linux. But when I typed adb device, still can not see the device. What should I do?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
You must type fastboot devices (or fastboot device, I can't remember ) when your screen is in that FASTBOOT MODE.

Once it's in there you just have to flash a custom recovery, or, unlock the bootloader first as we discussed before. This will wipe user data remember. After unlocking bootloader you can flash a custom recovery or stock recovery, and then a new ROM in recovery.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
When the device is power off, after I plug it to pc usb, it will show charging sign on the screen and then go the fastboot mode as showed in the picture above. I checked the device manager it was connected as android bootlock inferface. But if I use adb device, there is no device is found.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
Yes, you are right. I found the device. Then how to make a custom recovery if I don't want to lose the data?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
There's no way to do that. It would not be secure if you could overwrite recovery if data is not deleted - then anyone could steal your phone, put a custom recovery and read data partition if not encrypted.

Maybe you can reflash a stock recovery zip (if you can find and if it let's you to flash) through fastboot, then go into recovery and sideload stock rom to your device. Most likely in this case the data will not be deleted.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
Thanks. Why it showed unknowed command when I typed fastboot oem unlock?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
Hmm, not sure, might have to look on Google. Does anything come up with

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

?
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
same when I typed fastboot oem get_unlock_data showed unknown command. Is there a way to let pc force the device to go to download moade because it stuck in the fastboot mode?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
AFAIK the download mode is only a thing for Samsung, most other Android phones use fastboot as the download mode which flashes recovery etc.

Perhaps look online on ways to fix the unknown command issue... How did you install fastboot for the Linux?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
Cn you run fastboot oem help, and fastboot --version please

Post the output here, thanks
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I tried both on Linux and Windows, but the same result. I run fastboot devices, it showed my device. But when I run adb devices, it showed nothing. I run fastboot oem help, it showed the menu of the command. Please see the picture.View attachment 5204225View attachment 5204225
[General Topics] quickishfm:
That's useful, thanks. It seems the syntax has changed. Try

fastboot flashing unlock

to unlock the bootloader, and then you should be able to flash a custom recovery.

There's also update to directly flash an update.zip if you can find one, which might not need unlock boorloader. But this will likely have to be a stock update.zip signed by LG so no custom recovery or anything. I don't know if this will erase data.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I also run fastboot -w, it started wiping, but then failed as shown unknown command.View attachment 5204227
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I just ran fastboot flashing unlock, but still failed. Please see the picture.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
It looks like only one command ( fastboot devices ) is working.
[General Topics] Bhanu8082:
thats good.

step by step process:-

1) use following commands

fastboot devices

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot reboot
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
Still the same problem as I mentioned. Fastboot can find the device, but can't operate other command. See the picture.
[General Topics] Bhanu8082:
wait
[General Topics] Bhanu8082:
i could not help sorry some one other may be able to.
[General Topics] quickishfm:
It seems a lot of commands fail. Please run

fastboot oem help

and show us output to see what is supported?

It seems erase works but formatting doesn't, maybe the filesystem is corrupt or something. It's also possible the OS itself has a "Allow OEM Unlock" option which is disabled, which leads you to a catch-22 scenario as you cannot boot back in to fix the issue.

You might have to find a stock update.zip for your phone to restore it to stock if this is the case...
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I already tried to reinstall a stock firmware to the phone. But the problem is the device can't go to a download mode to get the firmware loaded to the phone. Then the process will show the device not connected and aborted the process.
[General Topics] quickishfm:
Could you please run the fastboot oem help to see what's supported by the phone?
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
I ran the fastboot oem help, it was failed as a unknown command.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
Is the phone locked for everything?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
From some research online it seems this happens when the bootloader is locked. You might have to allow unlocking in the OS which you cannot do if it can't boot.

Aside from trying to flash update.zip in fastboot I don't know what else you could do, sorry.
[General Topics] auroraguy123:
Is it possible the processor is locked due to overheat, how to unlock the processor?
[General Topics] quickishfm:
Overheating has virtually nothing to do with it. After its cooled its still going to be locked...overheating will always be a temporary thing, unless it literally fries the CPU...then nothing will come on the screen at all.

I think your bootloader is locked and needs to be allowed to unlock from Android settings "Allow OEM unlock" but you can't reach that as it won't boot.

Hello,

I am using P40 pro ELS-NX9; build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1);EMUI version 10.1.0 since September 2020.

I have installed GMS in October '2020 and running smoothly without any problem. I have all google apps, playstore and bank apps running smoothly.

The only thing I noticed that I have not received any updates so far including security updates since I am using this phone.

I have tried system update but it says no update response is your software is up to date.

My question is isvit because I have installed GMS that preventing the system updates??

Any help will be appreciated.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BK111968:
I upgraded my XV-6800 to 6.1 using the Verizon ROM and am having a very annoying issue with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (it works somewhat).

The issue is this:

Push button on headset to activate MSVC

***Beep*** through headset

Me: Call Home

Msvc: Call Home? (through headset)

Me: Yes

DIAL TONES THROUGH THE PHONES SPEAKER

Bluetooth headphone switches back on once connected

The only way I have found that it works normally is when I have my Plantronics 8010 main headset piece set to "Wireless Stereo" and "Hands-Free" and I have the little icon of the stereo headsets showing on the top (where the start menu is). If that icon isn't there then the phone goes back to behaving the way it was above.

I've tried this with non-stereo headsets (mono only) and it plays the damn dial tones through the speaker on the phone. The other thing is that instead of the ringtone coming through the headset on an incoming call it goes through the phones speaker- when I hit the headset button it connects the call properly.

Can this be a conflict with that garbage software called Cyberon Voice Dialer? Anyone else have this issue and was there a fix?

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TurboFool:
I wasn't aware this was a bug. This is how it's always operated for me and I thought it was a purposeful function of the software. Besides, I think that dialing sound would get really annoying in my ear.

EDIT: The ringtones play through my headset, though. It's just the dialing sound that doesn't. What are your Phone settings in MSVC?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BK111968:
Ok- just uninstalled MSVC and re-installed (for the the third time) and now the incoming calls play the headset fine but the dial tones play out of the speaker on the handset.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug as it never used to do this on the XV-6700 running MSVC 1.5.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TurboFool:
It's honestly been that way on every version I've personally used. It doesn't seem like a bug to me. It's specifically jumping out of the Bluetooth audio bridge to play it, then back in. That seems deliberate to me. Besides, it's an effect of the phone, itself, doing the dialing. Kind of a psychological thing. Besides, I wouldn't want that annoying sound buzzing in my ear.
