You guys should have the phone switched off and used Xperia Companion.

Clicking Repair software option without connecting the phone.

It asks to connect the phone with volume - pressed and warns you for the total data erase.

That would have been easy, anyways you already have it working. 😊

Hi as a new s21+ user I really like the photos that this device can produce when it is given plenty of light such as outdoor shots. But sometimes whilst taking pictures indoors photos can be a bit soft and lacking detail. In my previous samsung devices I could overcome this issue with gcam app. Anyone know if there is any gcam port for S21+?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] jmdomini:
I would suggest visiting this thread over at the S21 forum for now. It seems to be hit or miss. There's a few different ports which may or may not work. I have not been able to get any to work on my S21+ Snapdragon. You may have better luck than me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ADB100:
I spent half of last night and the last 3-hours searching on here and via Google but am stumped if I can solve this issue.

I have a ROM based on the HTC Official 5.2.19212. Included in this I have Battery Status (now HomeScreen PlusPlus) and the Tools page is set to enable 'DeviceLock on WakeUp', 'Lock if Device is Off or vice versa' & 'BackLight Fix for 10s-Bug & 30 sec.' (these settings are included by default in the ROM). I also have the BackLight settings for Battery Power set to 'Turn off the backlight if device is not used for 30 sec'.

No matter what I try the Battery Power BackLight settings ALWAYS revert back to 10-seconds in the GUI, however in the registry it is 7-seconds (HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\BatteryTimeout:00000007).

It looks like if the Device Lock kicks in (either manually from the Today Screen or as a result of Battery Status) the registry entry changes to 7 and there is nothing you can do about it. This is by far the most annoying thing with the Kaiser (and it seems most other WM6 devices based on my searching). I have tried some of the StartUp utilities that are supposed to fix this as well as all the registry tweaks I have found and the the behaviour is always the same.

Believe me I have searched and searched and there seems to be no solution that I can find for this. Is there one that I have missed?

Andy

(There is another issue where if you go to the Battery Status settings the registry entry [HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel] always gets reset to 0, however as I don't open the settings to Battery Status very often this isn't a big deal).

Latest post from Cingular Forum:

The backlight has not dimmed in nearly four hours after I set HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\ACTimeout to 0.

I did a soft reset and the setting remained 0.

I put the phone into stand-by (quick press of the power button) and when brought out of stand-by, the value of ACTimeout was reset to 8.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ADB100:
I have been getting so pi$$ed off with this I just disabled the Battery power backlight settings and deleted the registry entry that keeps getting reverted:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\BatteryTimeout]

This was just to stop it dimming after 10-seconds - i.e. just leave the backlight on regardless. Anyway its now behaving exactly like I want it to - The screen will dim after 30-seconds whether its locked or unlocked. If I hit the power button or the Device Lock on the Today screen the registry entry does not return (so far anyway) and its still waiting 30-seconds before the backlight dims. I need to do some soft resets etc, but it's looking good....

[General Questions and Answers] gringobenuk:
I ****ed up flashing stock rom on my phone while using sp flash tool, apparently wiping or overwriting NVRAM in the process.

I lost the imei and googlekey attestation but managed to restore them using SN writer. However my touchscreen also became erratic and completely unusable, with the four quadrants of the screen also swapped around, and the X and Y axis swapped within them. I've requested help from the manufacturers with no result. I wonder if anyone knows what I have done and how I can fix it. My research so far leads me to think that lost the configuration/calibration data for the touchscreen, something which is no included in the downloadable stock rom. I wonder if I can somehow obtain this data file from an identical phone, either individually if I can identify it, or simply clone everything, in order to restore the required data.

I've read somewhere that this data might be stored inside of the touchscreen drivers themselves, not that that helps me much as I have no idea where to find it.

I'm not sure to what degree this problem, and any solution, might be device specific. I've found many threads of people in the same position, with a wide variety of phones, but no answers on how to solve it.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this issues or and pointers towards solutions?

[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
TWRP is not required in order to root the MaxWest Nitro 5P. In fact, you could not root it using TWRP even if you wanted to. This device ships with Android 9 Pie Go Edition and is fully Project Treble supported. Also, like many devices of its kind with a System-as-Root (SAR) configuration, this phone has no boot-ramdisk. The only workaround to attain root is to patch the ramdisk in the recovery image and flash the patched image to /recovery versus the typical /boot partition. This effectively enables Magisk to hijack the recovery partition. Thus, the tricky part. In order for root to be properly installed, the phone must manually be booted to recovery mode during each and every reboot. However, it won't actually boot into recovery mode due to Magisk hijacking the /recovery partition. It will boot into the Android OS with Magisk systemless root installed. If you choose to boot the phone normal, it will still boot into Android, but without Magisk installed. This is rather unorthodox and inconvenient but it remains the only solution for these devices with no boot-ramdisk. For more info on Magisk running in recovery, see the official GitHub documentation here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

TWRP is not compatible with this type of install and will cause a bricked device. Simply unlock the bootloader, patch the stock recovery image with Magisk, and flash the patched image to the recovery partition via fastboot. Boot to recovery mode during the next and every subsequent reboot. I am presently drafting a rooting guide on this device and I will post my link here when finished, for anybody needing instructions.

The OP of this thread originally requested info on root for purposes of possibly installing a custom ROM. Indeed, there are a few Treble GSI ROMs compatible with the Nitro 5P (ARM, A-Only). However, you do not need to have a rooted OS in order to install GSI custom ROMs, but only an unlocked bootloader. I will compile some resources for compatible GSI Treble ROMs and list this info in my rooting guide coming soon. TWRP isn't needed for GSI installation. Everything can be done in AP Fastboot Mode. I am not certain if MaxWest Telecom has released the kernel source code for the Nitro 5P. I will research this. This code will be required for the compiling of custom ROMs such as LineageOS & Pixel Experience. It is likewise needed for TWRP to be built from source.
[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
No problem. I'm certainly not saying that TWRP cannot be booted or even installed on the Nitro 5P. I'm only stating that under no circumstances can the Nitro 5P (in its stock configuration, at least) be rooted using TWRP. The only root solution -- due to the boot image being devoid of a ramdisk -- is the method I outlined above. Now, if someone compiled a custom boot image with integrated ramdisk, this would certainly change matters. Out of curiosity, have you tried flashing TWRP to the /recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img? Or, in the alternative, you can replace the stock recovery image with TWRP by decompiling the .pac firmware package, repack the .pac archive, and flash TWRP using the Spreadtrum Flash Tool. I'm just curious as to whether anybody has tried that.

Magisk is the only supported root solution for this devices
[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

Scroll down until you reach the installation heading titled "Magisk in Recovery." Follow those steps and you will attain root on your Nitro 5p. In a nutshell, you will be patching a stock recovery image versus a stock boot image. Magisk will be able to hijack the /recovery partition and enable systemless root on the Android OS.

[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Keep in mind that you rarely ever need to be rooted in order to install a custom ROM. However, you will need a custom recovery and the custom ROM itself. To the best of my knowledge, no custom ROMs have been ported to, or compiled for, the Maxwest Nitro 5p. However, the Nitro 5p is Project Treble supported, meaning you can boot and install a Generic System Image (GSI). There are a nunber of custom GSI ROMs available here on XDA, which have been build by various developers. This is a link to several GSI ROMs built from some of the more popular custom ROMs, i.e. HavocOS, LineageOS, ArrowOS, PixelExperience and others. These are available both with and without GApps, in both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Also, this is the official Project Treble forum here on XDA. This includes numerous GSI ROMs in various versions, instructional guides, device-specific resources and a ton of general info on Project Treble.

Project Treble

The Android 8.0 release includes Project Treble, a major re-architect of the Android OS framework designed to make it easier, faster, and less costly for manufacturers to update devices to a new version of Android. Treble is for all new devices launching with Android 8.0 and beyond.

I've tried unlocking the bootloader with no success.
[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
For members having difficulties unlocking the Nitro 5P bootloader, you need to use the Token Identifier method typical to Unisoc (Spreadtrum) devices. There is a comprehensive YouTube guide on the process.

You will need a modified fastboot tools build, A Linux PC (or Windows PC running Ubuntu Live), and ADB Debugging/OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options. Links for the files you will need can be found here https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html

To the best of my knowledge, this is the only viable method for unlocking the bootloader on the Nitro 5p.
[General Questions and Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Viper4Android FX with the NEON audio drivers works quite nice on the 5p. A good debloating and some build.prop tweaks to optimize RAM efficiency and responsiveness made a big difference for me. You can also add a line to build.prop to disable the boot animation during boot up, which speeds up boot time considerably. Use Kernel Adiutor-Mod (APK available here on XDA) to enable Touch Boost under CPU settings and change the CPU Governor to Performance. Set I/O scheduler parameters to a 512 KB read-ahead on internal storage, using the noop scheduler preset. Set SELinux to permissive mode as well and use the Low Memory Killer (LMK) preset of Very Aggressive. In the ZRAM options, ensure Swappiness is set to 100.

Keep in mind that when rooting, you will need to install Magisk to run in recovery versus the typical boot.img patching.
