[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
It was probably only a matter of time before the structural weakness of the ROG5 started showing in accidents and broken devices. My device is officially broken from damage around the mid section between the 2 batteries and the side USB/cooler port and antenna soft spot - exactly as highlighted on some videos. As a result, connectivity goes on and off and reception is extremely weak.

To be clear, the device has not been bent violently, dropped, smashed or anyhting like that, there are no physical bends visible other than I noticed one corner of the glass back plate looks a tiny tiny bit detached from the body of the phone. I'm guessing the device might have been bent just enough while in a pocket to damage it. No broken glass plates.

Up to you if go for this device but everyone should be aware of this. The device is with ASUS, if they don't fix it under the warranty and the price for fixing it isn't on the low side, I'll take the loss and switch to another brand.

If you're absolutely going for ASUS, the ROG 3 might be a much better choice - It's better built, has better tempretures/battery life, does custom reccovery like TWRP without pain, probably cheaper now and I bet it performs exactly as well as ROG 5 for 99.5% of games/apps during the remaining lifetime of both devices.

I have feeling the ROG 5 is the device ASUS will regret... It's basically an overheated, inefficient,badly tuned version of ROG 3 with a weak body and some overpriced expanded memory..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
Thanks for the hint: however I'm really sceptical to be honest. I can't believe this can happen due to bending in normal pocket (or maybe I don't want to believe it because I like the phone)

I really wish you best of luck that Asus repairs it for free and I would like to know the outcome.

What does your pockets look like? Are they too small/tight because I tried it and whatever I do my current phone isn't under pressure at any time when it's in my pockets.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
I didn't believe it either. Normal pocket size and I never carry my phone in the back pocket where you risk sitting on it. My best guess is the device was in a front pocket while wearing jeans and has bent at an angle on the weak point while sitting down or something just enough for some internal circuit or antenna lines to bend or break. Don't put this to test with your own device - you'll wreck it...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Honestly, the device is meant to be used almost exclusively with the cooler. This is the same reason I never take it off, but turn it off, when putting it in a pocket. Beyond the obvious improvements to heat concerns, it also reinforces the center of the device to prevent bending.

Sure, it does make it a bit bulkier and isn't going to prevent the device from pressure if you wear skinny jeans a size smaller than they should be for proper circulation, but it will definitely stop it from randomly folding in half without breaking that first.

I get dragged into a lot of unplanned physical activity without thinking about preventing stress on the phone. I've been unable to confirm that the phone will simply break over time.

I can only assume it was one of those perfect scenarios, not unlike the Note 7 fires. It is obviously a possibility, but the actual number of people that will ever experience it is probably too low and it's just not enough of a safety concern to justify a recall or discontinuation.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I actually tried to use a Pelican G40 case to store the phone and cooler during travel (and add water protection). The case is just slightly too short and the device had to be angled for a tight fit. This would be a lot like placing the phone in a tight pocket. I would be interested to see bend tests done with the cooler.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
If the device is meant to be used exclusively with the cooler, ASUS should explicitly make that clear and include one with every phone, in which case the design of the Lenovo Legion is probably better - i.e just build a cooler hump into the phone regardless of the looks. The ROG 5 cooler is waay to bulky for pocket use for most people.

I think the weak mid body pf ROG5 is just due to sloppy design - which is unacceptable for what is meant to be a flagship device.

Either way, keep this phone in a bag or jacket pocket and make sure it's not at a bending angle at any time. Seems you don't need a big squeeze to break stuff inside the phone. I don't know what's under the mid section, it could be some antenna rails or other connectors that easily break or bend out of function. Again, I don't recommend testing any of this, the risk of breaking your device is high...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Both Pro and Ultimate versions DO come with one, but one of the ways to make a cheaper version is to leave out some accessories and sell them separately. They may still expect you to buy it and may not prioritize the concerns of those that don't. Besides, building something prone to burning out and breaking down into the phone is a terrible decision. Lenovo will no doubt get their own backlash for that down the road.

I feel like carrying the phone in a bag or jacket is just as big of a risk. It would make more sense to get a rigid holster or sleeve. I don't feel like the design was sloppy, but definitely not as durable as typical phones. Much like the Nvidia Shield, I am sure there are a lot of things they wanted to make possible that ended up being a lot of compromises.

I'll be interested to see how widespread this becomes and how Asus goes about handling it. The number of imports / exports mean a lot of people are running around without proper warranty coverage.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Wow it makes my Note 10+'s battery replacement look like a cakewalk.

Yeah you don't want to flex this phone...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Update >> ASUS fixed the device. There was damage to both reception as well as reading the SIM slots. The main board had to be replaced. They did it free of charge under the warranty, no questions asked. I think they know they've messed up..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
It sounds like Asus covered exactly what is written in the terms of the warranty, which is hardware failure without any obvious signs of abuse. I don't know that I would call it Asus knowing they messed up, but it's good they fixed it and hopefully you will have better luck this time around.

It Will be working fine and then after a while, my computer can't find the ftp. Rebooting phone fixes it and the problem will come back later.

Any idea why and how to solve this?

Using unrooted MIUI 12.5.2
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ryan3041981:
Hi everyone,

I came across a very perculiar problem for which I am hoping you all might have a solution other than try a factory reset (this is time very consuming) or rooting (I don't want to root).

I recently changed provider. I live in The Netherlands and moved from Vodafone to Simyo (a KPN company). I used the option to retain my mobile number but I got a brand new (nano) sim card from Simyo.

Now first of all, the service of my new provider is working fine, I can call, have 4G internet and the app recogizes my usage so no complaints there.

I have an unlocked phone, purchased straight from the Samsung website, my Vodafone subscription was prepaid, my current Simyo subscription is sim only.

So what I found is that when I go in to connection settings, there is an entry in the menu displaying service provider. This entry still lists my old provider and when I click on it, it recommends me to install the app of my old provider.

What I've tried so far: turning off phone, taking out sim card, waiting 10 minutes, turn on phone, then the service provider section is gone, then turn off phone, put back the Simyo sim card, wait 10 minutes, turn on phone. ---> After a short while the section service provider apears in the menu again and displays Vodafone. I also tried manually selecting my new provider from the scanned list but this did not change anything either.

Now the above makes me think that this service provider might be linked to the phone number itself, however I can't rule out it somehow stored this somewhere and just reads it from backup.

Anyway, I don't want to go do a factory reset. Setting all my authenticators, bank apps, government apps, etc is such a chore :p.

Below some screenshots to clarify what I am talking about:

Thanks for your help and time!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
Could it be that Simyo roams on Vodafone? If not (mine shows "Partner" when roaming) then try putting the phone in airplane mode for a while, see if that helps.

You won't be able to force a provider from the list, in my experience at least where I live that has never worked in the last 10 years. Leave it auto.

Everything else failing, call Simyo to check the subscriber provisioning.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Just a wild thought: Would clearing cache and storage from "Carrier Services" help?

It's a benign experiment so you could try it and see if it makes a difference... Put phone in Airplane mode first, then find Carrier Services under Settings>Apps and then Force Stop, then under Storage, clear Cache and then clear Data.

I don't have any solid scientific basis for recommending this, but since Google recommends the same to fix broken RCS due to carrier issues, I thought you just might have a little luck trying it out. Nothing to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ryan3041981:
Hi Ipse and Enigmaamit,

Thank you for your suggestions.

First regarding the roaming, I am fairly certain this is not the case. The network it selects is the KPN one and is shows Simyo as provider. I also disabled roaming to try it out. KPN used to be the Dutch state network and inherited that infrastructure. If anything Vodafone probably uses some of the KPN network structure. I also live in one of the bigger cities in a low building area so I expect the coverage is not an issue.

As for the cache clearing, I forgot to mention that I went in to recovery mode and cleared my android cache. I also tried clearing the carrier services but that cache is already 0 and it also indicated its not my default program. I did clear all data but to no effect.

I fear what happened is that as soon as I inserted the vodafone prepaid sim it somehow aquired some piece of software from the network and installed this on my phone. I am wondering still if it is possible that this software is number bound and if android has some option to look up what provider uses that number and then suggests the software of that number.

The helpdesk of Simyo is also not able to provide an explanation.

Its OK for me, I don't mind it showing Vodafone in some obsucre part of the menu structure but I am curious if there is a solution and what is causing this :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
If you suspect a Vodafone app that triggers this, you can try to "guess" it in adb and uninstall it. That's however a very long shot in a very dark night 🤣

You might get lucky and it has Vodafone in the app name.

Hi all, can anyone help me with the software name SASHIMI?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392983

I didn't want to ask in there, because most of my questions are pretty basic and sound dump to others

Anyway, as I understand from the video tutorial (which is still confusing for me), All I have to do is add all the CAB file I want the software to install in the "CAB" folder and all the registries in the REG folder. Then I have to create a filebackup.ini to tell the soft what I've backup.

- My question for this is how do I know which registry to backup and where they are. Let's say I have an APP1.cab to install and that APP1.cab need to be register... where do I find APP1 registration information?

Once the registries are found, all I have to do is to add the CAB in the CAB folder and its registries in the REG folder, right? Then when come to restore, I have to restore each CAB and each Reg or it will do by itself due to my filebackup.ini?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] adstevenson:
Try posting to benghali's sashimi thread. He's a great help and quick with answering your questions.

Don't feel bad, I was confused too and finally decided not to even install it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Responding here because OP sent me a PM.

In the future please post in the thread because all questions will be answered and it is ALWAYS better to post in the original thread then to start a new one.

The questions you are asking have actually been asked at least 3 or 4 times already and are in that thread.

In addition, your questions about where to put the .REG file are covered in the documentation.

Because I'm in a good mood, I will quickly answer here.

1) I can't tell you where the registry entries are stored for your program...that is different for each program. Use a registry export and compare before and after.

2) Once you have the .reg file with your entries you can either put it in the \REG folder or you can name it the same as the .CAB and put it with the .CAB file. This is called Tandem/Bundling and is covered more in the documenation.

Please post additional questions in the main thread.

Mods can lock this one.

thanks

REG files

Hi All,

I hope nobody shoots me for asking and tells me to do a search. I'm a bit in a hurry right now, so i'm just typing quickly.

How can I create or obtain the REG files for the different applications I install?

Resco Explorer, iSilo, pocket player, pocket artist, SPB Plus, SPB backup, SPB wallet, etc. I want to place the REG files in sashimi so that they automatically get registered and so that I don't have to manually apply the serial numbers. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance, if no one wants to sit here and give step by step instructions i will understand, but atleast a link to the correct thread would be helpfull.

I have no idea how to use sashimi to install and register my applications. Well I do know, I just don't know how to get working REG files. Do I have to create them? or do I get them from some directory. I've seen most of the videos already.

Thanks in advance.

I would still appreciate some help with the REG files. How can I get them or create them so that sashimi can apply the serial numbers after installing my applications?

I entered bootloader and did fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock. Rebooted the device , pushing volume up + down + power together. Now it says installing update but it keeps at 5%....

What can be the problem???
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DoctorCue:
Hello everybody. I am new to rooting, I ended up soft bricking my device after I rooted it properly, and I'm not sure how to go about reflashing the rom from a soft brick. I am using android studio as my command line, and I am unable to enter fastboot using down volume and power. When booting to recovery mode the pixel displays No Command and I am unable to input anything. I have the stock rom for my device (bramble-rq1a.201205.011) and have already properly rooted it.

When I went to install several modules from the magisk manager my phone bricked and I am attempting to recover it. The main issue I have run into is that I cannot flash anything onto my pixel. My computer only recognizes the device when it is booted into recovery mode and it is listed as unauthorized. When I attempt to reboot the bootloader using >adb reboot-bootloader it lists that the device is unauthorized and This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set.

From what I understand the reason it is denying access is due to my device not having usb developer access but I'm not sure how to enable it since I am unable to access the device. I installed magisk prior to me bricking it and I have the backup image, the magisk patched image and the stock rom.

I am convinced that I can reflash all and reroot the device entirely again, but I don't know what to do from here, I have enabled the Google USB Driver in Android Studio and I can provide additional information if needed. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Hold volume down when booting. If you got the timing wrong try again.

Also when the bootloader complains about you being rooted I'm fairly sure there's an option for getting to fastboot?

Yeah, that's normal. You don't want recovery, you want fastboot.

The pixel 4a is sunfish?!

I don't know what you are trying to do, but you will want to do one of two things.

1. Flash or boot the vanilla boot img to temporarily disable Magisk and use Magisk Manager to disable modules for when you boot up rooted again.

2. Boot TWRP and disable the modules from the cli (only if you know what you are doing).

Both need access to fastboot.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DoctorCue:
I have managed to get to the fastboot mode since you were right and I was timing it wrong. When I attempt to check for my device it does not show up under a list of devices, so I'm not sure if I can flash the image to my pixel even though I am in fastboot mode. I have attached a picture of the output for reference.

I simply wish to unbrick my device so I can use it again. I would rather keep my device rooted and uninstall whatever modules caused the issue in the first place.

If I flash the vanilla image does it uninstall magisk and reset everything to factory settings, or does it just temporarily disable it (I'm not sure how this works)? I don't know how to disable modules from cli using TWRP, but I am willing to learn, so if there are any resources I can use to research what this is and how to use it I would be thankful is I was pointed in the right direction.

If anyone has a list of common commands for rooting and an explanation of how they work I'd be thankful for that as well. Which commands do I need to flash the vanilla boot image? >adb flash imageName.img?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Since you are in fastboot, you need to use the fastboot tool, not adb.

If you flash the vanilla boot.img, you are only removing Magisk. but you need to flash the correct image or it won't boot. Each month is a new image.

Maybe this would be easier?
