anyone experiencing corrupted photo saving?

i'm using swiftbl 6.0 full, camera set to 3mpix, best photo quality and saving into internal storage - almost all of photos taken are corrupted - right after taking the shot, quick preview shows perfect photo, thumbnails in album are also ok.

but when viewing the picture on the phone in fullscreen, lots of pictures are just plain black or plain white or full of jpeg compression artifacts. when viewing on pc, some kind of compression error is visible in top left corner. photoshop refuses to open some of them because of error.

is this behaviour common? is it due to not-official rom or all diamonds do this? or are the files corrupted because of saving to internal memory? quick preview looks great, so the problem is in saving the files. how to fix that?

sample bad photos:

http://ace.cnx.cz/diamond/200808261813_002.jpg

this should be daylight photo. due to some error it is almost completely black. quick preview was ok, thumbnail is ok.

http://ace.cnx.cz/diamond/200808311203_035.jpg

almost ok, but notice 16px column of bad data on the left

http://ace.cnx.cz/diamond/200808311236_041.jpg

photoshop refuses to open this one, acdsee shows only broken artifacts, in browser note the bad data in top left corner

thanks for any advice

[General Questions and Answers] varxtis:
I am trying to use a couple of my old Samsung Note 4s to record video. Ive reset them both, without signing into any account. Its been working perfectly. Recently I came across a plug-in app for OBS called DroidCam OBS. I was able to install the APK just fine without signing into any Google account (downloaded from PC, Transfered to phone, and installed). But Im wanting to get the "Pro version" and it seems to require that I log into google. Is there any way to log into my google account be restrict it to JUST Google Play Store? No access to gmail, contacts, or anything. I know I can "change" the settings, but thats after its already synced. I don't want it to sync at all.

Hi there,

If you love the portrait light feature Google introduced with their Pixel 5 and 4a phones and want to install it on your device then you are in luck.View attachment 5197755

You need to be rooted with magisk to do that. All you have to do is fake your device model and you will get this feature almost immediately!

Steps -

1) Install Pixel props magisk module for your phone. If you are using Android 11 download it from here

2) Get portrait light magisk module from here

3) Download NgaResources app from here

4) After downloading the three from above, go to magisk, flash Pixel props magisk and Portrait light module.

5) Then install NgaResources app.

Reboot your phone and install Google Photos afterwards.

6) Open Google photos. After google photos loads up all your pictures. Select one of your selfies and try editing it from there. You will see a notification "updating photos editor". Keep your internet on, it might download some stuff.

7) Get out of Google photos or keep it minimized.

2 or 3 minutes later you will see portrait, portrait light and black and white feature on Google photos.

Note :

1) If it doesn't work. Reboot your phone.

2) If you have Google Photos installed already then clear it's data and follow from step 6

This method will also enable other Pixel features e.g. background blur in old pictures.

Have a nice day!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harisyks:
Does this also enable using the Pixel launcher on e.g. a Samsung device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RyanCr7:
No. Only for the features included in Google Photos. You can get pixel launcher from the internet, install it separately or go to magisk and search for Pixelify magisk module.

It will install other pixel features on your phone.

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Regina3000:
I bought a G7 Play during Thanksgiving sales at Wal-Mart. It's been running fine until today, when I rebooted.

It's stock. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted it.

I have a 64 GB PNY Elite SD card configured to be portable storage.

Today, when I rebooted, I got a notification "SD card issue. Tap to fix." When I tapped, it wanted to know whether I wanted to use the SD card as adoptable or portable storage, and wanted me to reformat the card regardless of which option I chose.

I turned the phone off and removed the SD card, replacing it with a 2 GB Samsung card. That one functions as expected.

Has anyone else seen this behavior, and is there anything to be done to fix it, or should I just contact Lenovo?

Thanks!
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] mrsiri:
Try using another phone with this SD Card. If it works then your phone is having incompatibility with the card. Didn't work? Your SD Card data has probably got corrupted. If you can plug it on computer with an adapter check if it shows RAW in disk management. If it does try formatting with windows usual format procedure. If that shows an error your last resort would be using diskpart. use list disk, then select the disk which is your sd card, then type clean, then create partition primary, then format. That didn't work too? Then it's a hardware issue and what you got there is part of e-waste now.

is there any chance to brick phone by just readback? -I know it sounds pretty dumb, but I am dumb so I want to make clear things for me, sorry for my bad english-. Really thanks!
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
NO.

The "readback" only reads the device.

It do NOT write anything to the device.

So, if the device is bricked, certainly the brick happened before the readback.

close SP Flash Tool

Open back SP Flash Tool, select nvram.img and nvdata.img partitions, go in 'readback tab', press ADD, and then Read Back, its finishing in a second and it create a file ROM_0 4kb and nothing else.

I've been able to save the partition.img with 'readback' but please, let me give you 2 questions :

> to set the 'readback' values, I couldn't be able to use MTK DROID TOOL, so, by afford this issue, I used the scatter.txt file values for setting the start address and size of .img partition, is it correct ?

nvram.img

0x19f00000

0x4000000

nvdata.img

0xc4a2000

0x4000000

> Second and most important question that I really need :

I created all the possible combination to re-start the phone without success ... why this ? what am I wronging ?

Flashed in stock_rom (V11.0.2.0.QJOMIXM), then flashed into eng_rom (Eng_Rom_V1), fixed IMEI and update WIFI mac Address, but then all the way to get back into STOCK_ROM result into 'NVDATA CORRUPTED'.

Any try to modify or replace a modified nvram nvdata from eng_rom into stock_rom FAILS ... WHY ???? what am I wronging ?

Why my nvram and nvdata created and saved with 'readback' and placed into stock_rom, after flashing, don't fit with stock_rom ?

Thanks for ur answer, but didn't work.

Flashed eng_rom V1 (used: MT6768_Android_scatter--WITHOUT_EFUSE.txt), maybe I should use different scatter.txt file ?? :

MT6768_Android_scatter--WITHOUT_EFUSE--no_boundary_check.txt

MT6768_Android_scatter--WITH_EFUSE--no_boundary_check.txt

MT6768_Android_scatter--WITH_EFUSE.txt

fixed IMEI and Wifi mac address, saved nvdata.img in spflash tool with 'readback' option

Flashed stock_rom (V11_0_2_0_QJOMIXM)

Didn't reboot, just re-connected the device and with spflash tool formatted manually the nvdata.imd partition (0xc4a2000 -- 0x4000000)

After that re-connected the device and flashed nvdata.img only (not even preloader or other partitions), using for this the stock_rom scatter.txt file and inserting the nvdata.img into stock_rom/images folder.

Now rebooted the device and nvdata corrupted shown up again . no way !

Shold I try with different stock_rom, it seems really strange this ! Should I backup other eng_rom partitions to then restore into stock_rom ???

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulfried:
(I couldn't find this exact problem on the forums, forgive me if I overlooked it)

I tried booting my mom's old phone, an HTC Desire 626G, but it is stuck in a bootloop. When I try to enter recovery mode (by pressing power + volume down), it just enters the loop again.

I can however enter what I think is the bootloader menu, giving me three options: recovery, fastboot or normal boot. Fastboot freezes the phone, the other two options just start the bootloop. I've never installed a custom ROM.

I disassembled the phone, un- and replugged the battery to no avail. I tried ADB but I never enabled USB debugging in the first place, so that doesn't work either.

Do you have another idea that might work?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] rohits21:
Hi all,

I hope someone can guide me through. My MI A1 device has suddenly stopped booting for no reason. To fix up I tried many thing but with no luck.

here is link to one of the thread I have followed

Reddit thread

This guy exactly had the same issue as mine but on different model and I followed all the instruction as in this thread.

Summary of things I tried so far (Including instructions from the thread I mentioned) :

- Try mi flash tool to flash stock rom (Which succeeds and nothing actually works 😢)

- Tried my luck with lineage os 17 and GPAPPS but no luck. (Interestingly, when I Install LOS and I the reboot device, it boots in LOS recovery fine 😑 but when I try to boot system it just keep rebooting and then finally stops at charging screen.)

PS. One more observation, when I flash it with MIflash tool with stock rom and it boots up for the first time, an intermediate screen with circle logo and erasing text appears just like when we get update screen not sure why!

Guys, this is my last bet on XDA. I almost wasted my whole day searching for solution on #Youtube and other forums, nearly read a ton of things but still no luck!

Please Help!

UPDATE :

Here is a little more progress,

So, I tried flashing the original stock rom boot image with fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and as usual first it just got rebooted with no luck but later somehow booted the device. I tried the same with recursion OS ROM and then again flashed boot image and just like prev attempt it rebooted first & then booted normally.

Also, when device was booted normally, I received a call and when I tried to pick it, It just got rebooted and I am where I started! 😑😑

I really don't get the point why it boot when I manually boot it with fastboot and its not able to boot itself.

Anyone knows, why this is happening? Is there a way to clean whole and then install? am I doing something wrong here?

Update :

Yes, confirmed when I flash the boot image from fastboot it does boots up. the only problem is after a few seconds/minutes it just reboot and goes back to problematic state.

This thing is really pissing me off! Can someone help?

Update:

After a few more attempts now, it seems like the device is completely broken! It only boots up in fastboot and does not even boot in recovery ( Volume up + Power)

I also tried with pushing twrp recovery image with fastboot but even though the command succeeds the device just reboots with MI logo continuously.
