[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Just look at website I linked - that's Samsung country codes for firmware. So for example XEO is Polish "non-carrier" firmware, MEO is Portugese, PHN is Dutch, and so on. Try to flash one of them.

If you have unlocked bootloader then you can just flash some custom rom.
[General Questions and Answers] nomadic11:
Hi

Is it possible to recover deleted images & video from an android phone: OP 5T, LineageOS, rooted, TWRP, encrypted. (I can boot into recovery where TWRP asks for a password which works).

I've looked at various methods and tried adb pull /data partition to save as file.img, but it's encrypted. Photorec can't work on that.

When I asked on a reddit thread, it was indicated that when a file is deleted, its encryption key is deleted too, so impossible to retrieve.

Any ideas, or is this a lost cause due to the phone's encryption?

Thanks

Your only option is to hope that you have not re-written over the old data and a data recovery specialist can attempt to recover lost or deleted files. But it is expensive and time-consuming.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
The recent Asus system update includes improvements to the stock camera’s picture quality, so I did a quick test to see if I could spot any obvious difference when compared to the GCam (Wichita 1.4) that’s also on my Zenfone 8.

In my previous tests I found pictures from the Asus camera to be over sharpened. This makes foliage look good on a small screen but when viewed large the pictures have an overall processed look. This is something I’m aware of since I’ve made largish prints (50 x 70cm) from some of my previous smartphone shots.

Unfortunately I didn’t spot any improvement that the latest update has made as they are still aggressively sharpened.

GCam pictures have the opposite problem and look too soft when enlarged. So in this test I’ve altered the sharpness: Settings > Advanced > Ram Patcher > Sharpness > 1.500.

The GCam Jpegs are also consistently too dark. I tried to alter the brightness using Settings > Advanced > Ram Patcher > HDR Overall Lightness, but this just blew out the highlights and negated the HDR effect. I’ll have to experiment with some of the other HDR settings to see if I can lighten just the shadows and midtones. I lightened the Jpeg in Photoshop for this comparison.

It’s also possible to shoot a Raw+Jpeg with the GCam. Raw files look flat and greyish straight from the camera but when post processed they give a slightly cleaner and sharper result. They are only16MP rather than the full 64MP the camera is capable of, so hopefully Wichaya will alter this in future mods.

The GCam still gives better picture quality compared with the Asus, but the bright and punchy look of the Asus shots is very good too. If you are into photography and want to get the most from the Zenfone 8 then it’s worth trying the GCam and fine tuning it to suit your needs. The examples below are cropped from the central area of the picture.

If a developer brings out a mod of the Asus camera that allows adjustments to sharpness and brightness, etc, I’d certainly be interested, especially if it could also shoot 64MP Raw.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MRDA1981:
Have you tried toggling the model settings on GCam to see if that improves the detail?

I can't download boot.img from LMSA. However, I came across this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/t/can-someone-upload-the-g100-global-rom-please.4256789/

Do I download the RetEU files and use that boot.img (The seller already loaded the global ROM)?

Edit: Actually, I just search my software version (which is RRT31.Q1-20-43-1) in Moto Update Tracker and Japan version came up. Should I use that one instead?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] sd_shadow:
No, the boot.img must be from the same software channel.

This command will tell you which channel is on your device.

fastboot getvar ro.carrier

Device Model #

,

Codename, and Software Channel

.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Slowboytommy:
For me ro.carrier is an invalid command. I did "fastboot getvar all" and I don't see see ro.carrier anywhere. This is what I got.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Slowboytommy:
Yes it boots normally.

I have already used LMSA but it cannot find the correct firmware. I did, however, entered the SIM2 IMEI (not SIM1) and found the RetCN firmware. Still, I don't think it is the correct firmware because the version is completely different. I am now trying to ask the seller if they can provide me the correct firmware.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] sd_shadow:
Ok, I believe LMSA is matching the correct firmware that was originally on the device anyways.

LMSA always selects the newest available firmware not the version on the device.

I would download the Retail version for your region, RetUS, RetEU...

Unzip

Flash the full firmware with fastboot.exe or rename the folder and flash with LMSA

Then you will have the correct boot.img that matches.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Slowboytommy:
OK I finally got fastboot getvar all working correctly. Turns out I was in fastbootd mode instead of Fastboot Flash Mode. Anyway, these are the values I got.

(bootloader) ro.carrier: retcn
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[0]: motorola/nio_retail/nio:11/RRT31.Q
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]: 1-20-43-1/0fab1:user/release-keys
(bootloader) ro.build.version.qcom: LA.UM.9.12.r1-09000-SMxx50.0

Now where can I download the correct files?

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Slowboytommy:
@sd_shadow thanks for your help. I took a risk and used the Japan boot.img and it worked. Google Pay now works. I have NFC contactless payment set up but haven't tested it yet. Here are the few things that I've learned after going through this process:

- fastboot getvar all: variables from Fastboot Flash mode are the ones you're looking for. The variables from fastbootd mode are NOT the ones you're looking for.

- The global ROM that aliexpress sellers use, as of today (Aug 22, 2021), is the Japan version:

https://telegram-store.com/catalog/uk/channels/motoupdatestracker/6697

- In my case, ro.carrier did not change even though a different ROM is loaded on it. Mine still shows RetCN.

- After setting up Magisk Hide, clear cache and data from Google Play Services and Google Pay. Then Google Pay will allow you to setup payment method and contactless payment.

I've googled and read posts for hours but nothing I tried works.

I was on Miui.eu V12.5.4.0 and decided to update to V12.5.5.0 using Twrp. It updated fine. However, I was not able to get my phone to root with magisk. So I dirty flashed back to V12.5.4.0 but for some reason when I tried to reboot to system, it prompted that no os is installed and I accidentally tapped reboot.

So now my phone is stuck on a boot loop on fastboot.

I tried Miflash tool. It ran for a few minutes but eventually got an error:Sending sparse 'userdata' 1/*3 (741188 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file).

I tried to use OTG on twrp but it seems like I can't access internal storage anymore. It shows up empty.

I tried to use adb sideload to push V12.5.4.0 rom into the phone but it says

loading: 'xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.4.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip'

* cannot read 'xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.4.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip' *

I did more digging and found this https://xdaforums.com/t/q-adb-cant-read-sideload.1990405/page-3#post-69648733.

I tried to allow large address aware on adb and got this error instead

adb: failed to read command: No error

And the final method I tried was to use adb push to /sdcard/.

From the guides I saw online, after you typed in the command and press enter, a text stating the progress of the transfer should appear but mine did not. After a few minutes, this error appeared

"failed to copy 'xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.4.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip' to '/sdcard//xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.4.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip': write failed: No space left on device"

Thanks for the responses. I managed to fixed it with MiFlash Tool.

Since you are able to get into fastboot, perhaps you should start with a blankflash from lolinet and do not take your phone apart quite yet.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] CodyF86:
When you say you tried to downgrade did you flash the previous version bootloader and partition table? You should never do that, but it sounds like you need to try and flash a blankflash like mentioned above.

One other thing you can try to do, although I doubt it would work since it can't determine the active slot is download the firmware from lolinet then fastboot boot boot.img to try and boot the kernel, which will boot the system. If that does work then you can go into dev settings and check the allow bootloader unlock option.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] RomSlammer:
before you flash anything to your L-01k you need to backup the modem partitions with LG UP.

-modem

-modemst1

-persist

-pstore

-recovery

If you have no backup of the modem, you will lose network and there's no firmware for the L-01k anywhere on the net to restore... ask me how I know.. ;)

I also tried flashing the modem.bin with TWRP (backup in TWRP, then replace modem.emmc.win with modem.bin and rename that accordingly, then restore backup in TWRP.

first install qualcomm drivers.

plug usb cable to pc and mobile. hold volume down and power button at same time and when black screen show on mobile keep pressing (don't hold) volume up without leaving other buttons.

when qualcomm mode is detected > run qfil and select port and than > select flat build and > elf file in programmer path and > select ufs storage type in bottom right.

then go to tools > partition manager and there you can find all the partitions first backup and than restore which i said before.

these backups will not work in twrp i think.
