guys Does anyone have c8$5

What sre your impressions?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] faultydiff:
It would appear TCL have forgotten about the C728k. No ATV updates for ages and no sign of a GTV build. Not awesome.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ilsyde:
I bought the 728k because I did not want GTV. Otherwise I would've gotten something else.

Has anyone had the same problem as me, when using the vpn it always disconnects?

Thanks
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] J4n3k1987:
Im on v143. So you have k version and you updated to android 11? And it works?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Ilsyde:
No, I'm on the same version as you (gone from 141 to 143).

From what I gathered if you go above 143 you end up with firmware not intended for this TV model and you're also in the realms of Android 11.

I don't know enough of this subject to make an educated call, however coming from mobile phones if you install an Android version that's higher than the optimised build then yes you end up with new features but there will be some that'll stop working or become bugged.

To be honest I don't think you gain anything worthwhile by going from Android 9 to 11 but that's just my opinion.

Maybe someone who actually tried this could help us?

Do you have any information about the version update r166? is there an upgrade version of this version? v166 has a feature where it doesn't kill background processes and I really need that
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
You need R166 or after that ?

After R166 is version R183......#1,379
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AvGear:
Is it the same as the Telegram one? If it's true I've tried it, this version turns off my vpn automatically, and my vpn can only run on r166. But the r166 has a bug on my tv where the voice assistant sound is very low, i have to turn up the volume above 50 to hear it
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Yes, same as on Telegram.

R181 ?.....#1,207

Has only R166, R181 and R183 custom version.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AvGear:
Ok, r181 I haven't tried it yet. I'll try this version XD
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] stasiof:
Should be similar to R183.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] AvGear:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] bibikalka:
I tried updating from the internal /sdcard - it finds the file, verifies ok, then claims the media was removed after rebooting to update! This is weird - can it only work from the external storage then?

Update: a USB drive worked fine - it looks like only the lower USB port is operational? V258 is installed now, and seems to work fine, no issues observed after short operations.

I was also able to attach a regular mouse to the lower USB port - and could run a SpeedTest, otherwise it was impossible to click the choices without a mouse. i am getting 86 MB/s download over ethernet, and 200 MB/s over WiFi (AC router).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablo8itall:
Hi,

I've got an old samsung phone. The touch screen doesn't seem to work register, but the screen comes on. I've ordered a OTG usb adapter so I can do something with it. I also have a solar panel and outdoor housing on order. I'm going to try and convert it into a wildlife camera.

The hardware I think will work for it, but setting it up I'd prefer not to fiddle too much with the apps. If I could root it and install a backgounrd service that will do the job that would be ideal. I'm handy enough with scripting and python. Even a little C or Java if I needed to write something to do the job.

If you have any ideas about how I'd do this please let me know.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] e_s_jones:
I'd like to get this phone into a usable, stable state. Right now, it's useless.

Background: The phone is an unlocked US version I purchased directly from HTC. I had been using it on T-Mobile. In Sept. '19 I got an update to Android Pie. Soon after, NFC payments stopped working. I put the phone on the shelf and switched to a OnePlus phone. I did a factory reset on the U11 and want to set it up for my wife, but it wont fully initialize. Here is what happens...

Power on to HTC logo (static)

Replaced by HTC animated logo with start-up sound

Phone displays WELCOME screen, with a "Let's Go" button.

I press Let's Go and the phone goes to the internet setting screen to enable mobile data and sign on to WiFi

I connect to local WiFi

The Terms of Use are displayed. I select NEXT.

The phone displays:

Just a sec..

Checking for Updates...

Checking info....

Then, a Google sign on screen appears, and immediately is replaced by the "Just a Sec..." screen and a notification window that says "Android Setup has stopped."

I've never done anything more advanced with phones than wiping a cache partition, but am willing to try most anything with this phone at this point. I've nothing to lose, but would love to get it back into service.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] orb3000:
I would try the hole process not connecting to WIFI

Also you might try to do a Hard Reset, just be sure to have enough battery

Here how

A hard reset will wipe all data from the device and set everything back to factory settings. Ensure you have backed up your data before proceeding.

Hard Reset From Startup​

Turn the phone off by pressing and holding the “Power” button for 3 seconds, then selecting “Power off“.

Press and hold the “Volume Down” button and press release the “Power” button to turn the U11 on.

When the HTC logo appears, release both buttons.

Press “Volume Down” to select “Factory Reset“, then press the “Power” button to choose it.

The device will then restart and the hard reset will be complete.

Hope it helps

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ChrisinPerth:
Hey ESJ...I have the same issue with my HTCU11 here in Australia. I just posted yesterday to this Q&A session (above yours, sorry, didn't see your post) . I eventually got it to go past this point (don't ask me how). I went back and forth between a factory reset to clearing the cache partition and re-starting and finally it just booted up to the basic HTC screen with the factory installed apps. I have everything backed up, but the problem is, now I can't log in to any Google accounts. It crashes at the log in screen with ""Google Play services has stopped". I read elsehwere that there was aproblem with Chrome and "Android System Webview" and that there's an update to fix this problem, but I can't log into my Google accounts (Acounts, GMail, Play Store, etc) to download the update...I'm stymied. I suspect you have a similar issue? Hopefully an Andorid/Google guru will have a step by step solution, otherwise, I'll just get a new phone....and not an HTC!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Bluewitchdragon:
I have an unlocked note 9 sm-n960u1 that has never been rooted or flashed before.

It had an update available about a month ago. I did the update and when I went to check if it was finished it was constantly restarting. It will show the samsung screen and then goes back off and just loops. I can't access anything except for the download mode. I took it to a cell phone repair place and they couldn't fix it. I have tried to use odin to fix it but odin says can't open the serial (com) port. I have tried different versions of odin, used different cables, and different computers but it still doesn't work. The computer shows when the phone is connected but only in device manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but that didn't help. I have also tried kies and smart switch but they don't recognize the phone.

Is there anything else I could try to get the phone working again? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hannesknutsson:
Hi!

First off: I'm new to this forum, so if this is not the right place to post or is in the wrong format or whatever, please point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to install LineageOS on my Xiaomi Mi 9T and have gotten stuck in fastboot. I am currently trying to flash the recovery image for Lineage so that i can sideload the Lineage zip, but the phone just boots back to the fastboot mode no matter what I do.

One single time I managed to enter the custom recovery I flashed onto there, but after formatting all partitions, my attempt to sideload the LineageOS zip failed.

I thought I'd just reboot to the recovery and repeat my steps, but since then I have not managed to come back into the recovery mode.

Now I am frantically trying to flash the recovery image onto my phone with no success. The fastboot tool on my PC just says this (which seems fine):

fastboot flash recovery lineage-17.1-20210327-microG-davinci-recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.446s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.148s]
Finished. Total time: 1.600s

After that I've tried:

Holding power off + vol up

Holding power off + vol down

Holding power off

Holding power off + vol up + vol down

After some searching I have also tried:

fastboot reboot recovery
Rebooting into recovery OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

Which SHOULD have booted it into recovery mode, bur nope. Whatever I do I find myself back in fastboot mode.

I have also tried flashing TWRP recovery image (never used it before), just to try something else, but with no success. Same results as with the Lineage recovery image.

How do I get out of this loop and back to installing LineageOS?

I've done this once before with a OnePlus2, but that was painless compared to this.

I appriciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi, same problem here. Flashed TWRP in 1.932 seconds or something but never was able to boot into TWRP. I found a thread on here saying to oem reboot-recovery. Tried that, didn't work. Found some message by the guy who wrote the TWRP saying to flash some other file, but I don't understand what he means. Have you been able to solve the problem ?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hannesknutsson:
Okay, I have solved this for my phone.

I found this soulution on some forum, but do not remember where exactly, so credit is not mine.

I am new to all of this, so proceed on your own risk with this "guide". It worked for me and got me a running install of MIUI (chineese version).

Download the zip from here. There are two buttons to do so. This zip contains a set of scripts and resources to fix your phone.

Extract the zip to a folder somewhere.

Connect your softbricked phone with USB and make sure it is in fastboot mode and that your computer see it as a fastboot device (run "fastboot devices" in cmd and make sure the device shows up).

Run "flash_all.bat" from the extracted zip, if the script finishes successfully, skip to step 7.

For me the following lines failed when running the script:

fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @echo "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* flash sparsecrclist %~dp0images\sparsecrclist.txt || @echo "Flash sparsecrclist error" && exit /B 1

Delete or comment these lines from the script.

Run the script again. If it didn't work the first time, it hopefully worked now.

Reboot the phone if it does not do so itself. MIUI (chineese version) should now boot.

From here you should be able to enable developer options and ADB or boot into fastboot and flash new recovery images or whatever you want to do.

What caused the soft brick initially remains unclear to me, but this solved my problem and I am now running the ROM I wanted to run initially (Lineage for microG).

I hope this helps.

Only the path to the ROM is important : I always copy mine to C:\ but something simple like C:\TEMP\ should work too!

Avoid :

- Spaces in your path.

- Very long paths.

And you are good to go! :)

Also note that deleting lines in scripts can be dangerous and you should always tick the right options in the tool you are using!

Only Flash Custom ROMs via TWRP and Stock ROMs via the Mi Flash Tool ;)

EDIT: I mistakenly thought this thread was talking about the Redmi 9T but it's for the Xaomi Mi 9T. So ignore all the links I pasted below as they are for the wrong phone.

Thanks so much for posting this I managed to recover my redmi 9t. I had to use the lime version of the firmware https://mifirm.net/download/6391 as opposed to the davinci version. Also I used official xiaomi flashing tool MiFlash20210813.zip from windows. It reset my phone to stock. I attempted to flash OrangeFox recovery again via OrangeFox-R11.1_2-Unofficial-avicii.zip and OrangeFox-R11.1_0-Unofficial-garden.zip as well as the latest beta from https://orangefox.download/device/garden and they all result in a fastboot loop.... I'm not really sure how to avoid it. Luckily it's easy to recover by flashing back just the recovery.img from the stock image, now that I've fully flashed the whole phone so I know which stock image to use.

UPDATE:

I just used twrp in the end as orangefox wasn't working for me, i would have liked to have used the "juice" version mentioned here https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-st...t-r11-1-juice-lime-citrus-unofficial.4257459/ as the newer garden version wasn't working for me, but the files seem to have all disappeared in favor of the newer ones that don't work for me.
