[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] electric bill:
Is LAKE the correct model? My phone says that the sw channel is retla and there is a file under that named XT1965-2_LAKE_RETLA_10_QPWS30.61-21-18-7_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1965-2-SUTEL-DS_CFC.xml.zip. My phone shows model number XT1965-T and the build number is QPWS30.61-21-18-7-3. Do you think that is the correct file?
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
XT-1965-2 should be RetLA

XT-1965-T should be T-Mobile

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/lake/official/

Seems like I have seen posts like this before, but I'm not sure what the solution is.

You may have a T-Mobile model, with part of the RetLA firmware.

I would see what getvar all says

(Remove the IMEI before posting)

fastboot getvar all
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] hellomrwhite:
I have the REVVL from TMOBILE, which from my understanding, is basically the MOTO G7 PLAY XT1952-T. So would I be correct to assume that this root method mentioned in this post, would work just fine for my REVVL? I triple checked to make sure I have the correct firmware boot.img (CHANNEL), bootloader is unlocked, oem settings is unlocked but greyed out..... and everything with magisk is correct. I just seem to mess up the flashing process somehow when attempting to root my phone. thanks for any help in advance sorry if this isnt the right place to post this...
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Once the bootloader is unlocked, "oem unlock" should be greyed out, that's normal.

You are copying the boot.img to phone

Select Install/Install and Patch a File (with Magisk Manager)

Copy magisk_patched.img to PC

Flashing magisk_patched.img with

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Reboot

Are you using the full file name for the patched img?

I downloaded the retla and retail channels and the boot.img is identical. It looks like my phone updated to QWPS30.61-21-18-7-8 sometime this week and there is a zip file with that name on lolinet. I'd say I'm good to go then if I get that one downloaded.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] electric bill:
If I need to return this phone to stock, can I just flash the stock boot.img and relock the bootloader?
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
I do not recommend relocking the bootloader, too many can go wrong.

But if you want to relock the bootloader you as should reflash the firmware.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
You should not mess with "foreign" boot.img files from random packages, just grab your own from the externally booted TWRP and do "adb pull". Then you patch your own boot, and copy it to the boot partition in fastboot. Watch for A/B partitions!

This way you have your native boot.img patched, and nothing else. If need be, you return your stock boot to the boot partition, and proceed from there.

Here is an older guide for G6. The commands won't match, but you should get an idea of the required steps:

Hello.

After finally getting life back in the gear 2, I wanted to use it again. Downloaded gear wearables from playstore, connected the watch with Bluetooth after factory reset, but it can't see it at all in the wearables app.

Got past the login with the taping trick at start, but don't help me much when I can't set the correct time, get notifications etc. Atleast I can take pics and monitor the heart rate xD

Do anyone know a way I can make it see the clock in the app? Or another app that can connect with it?

Recently all of a sudden my phone(Realme X2) got stuck in bootloop. It happened all by itself, phone got drained out and I connected it to the charger after 15mins and in no time it was in bootloop.

Now I'm trying to access the fastboot but I'm unable to unlock it as my phone is stuck in this bootloop.

I tried using adb commands but its not reading, and in my device manager the port section driver also keep on looping. I tried to access the stock recovery which is really of no use.I tried all the ways out by my side none is working.

Any idea how I can flash my device and get it back to usable?

[Wing, P4350 General] spacemonkey333:
1. Delete all record of the problem number that will not except text messages.

Including contact, favorites, call log, text log...

2. send a text message to the phone number manually make sure to include the area code, no 1 needed.

3. click the sms button on your home screen, then select the number you just sent the message to and create a new contact from there.

4. Done!!

[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
I want to root this phone, mainly to turn off dm-verity because it keeps popping up even after a factory reset and this may be my only good option, but what custom rom should I use for this? I tried looking around and couldn't find any recommended ones. Blu Vivo XL4 android version 8.1.0 and the roms I looked at (Corvus OS, AOSPExtended) did not list my device for the downloads at all. Any suggestions or help for rooting this thing? First proper rootable phone I have gotten and I'm not sure the best process for this.
[General Questions and Answers] Austinredstoner:
Vivo doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked
[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
That's nonsense, I can enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings, ain't that what's required?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
It's not Vivo company! That's a BLU company.

You need a special steps for work. Not a exclusive file to your phone because GSI (actual custom rom for any device with Android 8.1 and next android version) need some files to fix booting that in your device. But the happy notice is about actual GSI files not need very files for fix or maybe nothing.

Try install AOSP from phhusson Android 9 and Android 10 repository to know. Other great GSI is crDroid by eremitein or other GSI files by him. Need testing.
[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
I'm on.. what's it called, Oreo? Android 8. Not sure if that's going to cause any trouble for roms.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
Yes! Android 8 from very OEMs/companies not have Treble/GSI compatibility.

Only Android 8.1 has that.

Update: Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=en-US in the phone and know what architecture your phone/firmware has. That will show you which type of GSI file you can test.
[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
Listing what that app says..

Required Image: Needs an image file named system-arm64-aonly.img.xz

Treble and VNDK: Supports legacy version of Treble, using VNDK version 27.0

System as Root: Does not support, use an a-only OS.

ARM-64 archetecture.

Seamless Upgrades not supported.

Does not use Dynamic Partitions.

Unless I missed anything, is this what was needed? Also I am on 8.1.0 for android version, I didn't know if that was just Oreo or if 8.1 had it's own name.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
In the first update Android 7.1 [Nougat] to 8.0 and after upgrade to 8.1 [Oreo]. Normal.

All informations good to know what GSI you should test.

Now you can install with fastboot or Custom Recovery [TWRP]. So if has is better and fast.

If not so can using fastboot commands.

Obviusly need bootloader unlocked!

You can read and find more threads but this is good: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-blu-vivo-xl4-vivo-xi-vivo-xi.3877294/

The only part I should warn you about is the loss of IMEI. So soon as you can do backup from your phone the files NVRAM; NDATA; NVCFG with SPFT or other way like fastboot you won't have wasted time and hassles.
[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
I'll give it a shot. In terms of performing a backup, I would assume that' typical "copy all files on phone to desktop folder just in case"
[General Questions and Answers] Jewel724:
I should've mentioned, I don't have an SD card in my device, just a SIM card. I don't think I can use TWRP, which is going to complicate matters.

Just got one through the T-Mobile promo today. It's quite slow right now, but I had just installed a system update and a bunch of app updates, so maybe I just need to let the phone rest for a couple of hours to get it up to speed.

So I got mine today in the mail, and it's not amazing but it's pretty nice. Screen is definitely nicer than the A32 5G in resolution, black levels, and viewing angles...but I am almost appalled at how bad the photo processing is from the stock app. I know it's a budget phone and I got it for free...so I can't complain but...

I found a GCAM port that works...not the smoothest but look at this difference...everything set to Auto. Even kept wiping down the lens because I couldn't believe it. Not every photo is this drastic..but man does the stock camera app take garbage photos indoors. The only editing done was cropping and combining into the comparison...If someone showed me this, I'd think they were lying and it was two different phones.

Stock? You add any new apps recently?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] KAMS.JOSHIS:
added few apps few days back. but they were banking apps. I think to fix it i need to update by downloading firmware but not sure
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If you can access the boot menu try clearing the system cache.

If that doesn't work, factory reset.

It's likely caused by an app you recently added or uninstalled.

Think hard before installing any suspect apps or you'll be doing this again.

3rd party launcher and power management apps are prime suspects.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] KAMS.JOSHIS:
factory reset will end up in deleting all the data I have right. I am trying to avoid losing my data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Yes. You should have had it backed up. Android crashes are very rare but they happen.

You have a SD card slot?

Use it! Use the SD card as a data drive, all critical data goes here. Copies of apps and everything you need to do a complete restore as well.

Only the OS, loaded apps and the download folder go on the internal memory.

Frequently backup the SD card to at least 2 hhds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and not attached to the PC.

You may be able to get it to boot into Safe Mode to retrieve your data. Don't count of this in the future!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I should also point out that the Android platform should be very stable; any system instability is often the only if any sign you'll get before a crash. Take any signs of instability seriously.

A crash is normally caused by poorly written 3rd party apps including malware. Pre-Pie OS's are suspectable to a rootkit that can't be eliminated by a factory reset. The phone's firmware must be reflashed. Also suspect malware when abnormal behavior is noticed and act fast to limit damage. Any download (including jpegs) or recent apps are suspect.

My current OS load is around a year or older. Still fast and stable. Not one crash. It's heavily but sanely used. This is what Android is capable of.

In 1.5 years I picked off one trojan preloader and an malicious scripted jpeg before they could do any real damage. The former didn't recieve it's needed second download before being discovered and the latter damaged some files in the download folder before being deleted that same day it was downloaded by me. The preloader was an unauthorized browser download, a real nasty one too. Always look over your download folder contents frequently especially after a questionable encounter🤣

Delete any unknown content. Vet files before allowing them into your database from the download folder. Online Virustotal is a useful tool for malware detection in files/apps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stewlis:
I am having a little trouble figuring something out ... I have a theme file and I love it, but when I try to read my text messages, the theme makes the background of the text messages have dark colored lines that fade from right to left as the background and it's hard to read the messages. I can't seem to figure out what colors are causing this to change them to something lighter (or make it just a blank background). Any suggestions?

I'm using the AT&T Tilt with the purple theme found here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_BUNDLED_THEMES

Screenshot here:

http://www.stewartlane.com/mystuff/TiltThemes/DarkStripes.jpg

When I click the individual messages, I get the basic white background and that's fine, but I really would rather have a white bg (or at least lighter purple stripes so I can read it easier) on the page that lists the text messages.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpope:
Search the forums for a program called 'RC Bar'. It will allow you to change the background color for the text messages, along with the color of most other things like the top & bottom bars, today text, start menu text, etc.

I had the same problem, all you need to do is change the theme and change it back. That should solve the problem.
