I bricked my phone by flashing a patched boot image from 11.0.2 to a phone with 11.0.0 and I can't get to fastboot mode - etc. I think MSM is my only way back?

I got it to fastboot mode, but there's no boot image for 11.0.0 available, right? Please help :)
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mingkee:
Is it T-Mobile version or unlocked?

There's MSM tool for T-Mobile version and you can download full ROM for unlocked

If yours is unlocked and you can access recovery, use sideload

adb sideload

Press spacebar once and drag and drop the ROM onto command window and press enter

This can fix boot as well as making version update

there is no msm tool for the full paid version from OP store .. only for T-Mobile .. but if you phone is still under waranty please get a hold of tech support and tell them you request a remote session and that your phone is seen by your computer . they will have you fill up some forms via email and send you the link to download the tools .. if you do please share them here .. when i had my issue they didnt have the tools available and chose not to send my phone back so i am like you with a briked phone

There's a maual method.

Download full ROM and unpack with payload dumper, and flash every .img one by one

I am familiar with this from Moto, and some previous manual flashes with my OEM OP5. However, after extracting the partition .imgs from the OOS OTA via this tool when I try to `fastboot flash logo logo.img` (among others), I get hit with `FAILED remote: flashing is not allowed for critical partitions`, even after having unlocked with `fastboot flashing unlock_critical`. How were you able to get everything to work?

I also tried flashing the OTA zip via the TWRP, but it seems like the current dev version of TWRP in that thread is completely borked for N200 as far as ROM flashing goes ://

You have to flash in fastbootd (... reboot fastboot) as instructed in 8T forum

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] island_delver_go:
I have an s8 - nothing fancy has been done to it. I got stuck in a low storage bootloop. I don't quite understand as I had cleared a decent amount of memory just the day before but here we are.

I cleared the cache partition, booted into recovery mode and then ran "lacking storage boot." This got me a bit further into the process (got to the verizon loading screen and got the progress dots) but ultimately resulted in another bootloop. I tried a couple more times to no avail.

I'm currently in download mode and the computer is not recognizing the phone. The device manager shows "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" under USB controllers but it is not recognizing it as a drive I can access. At one point it read it as a CD drive.

My ultimate goal is to clear some memory and get it to boot normally and then do a purge. I've downloaded DroidKit to try to help but the computer wasn't recognizing it at all. Now that I have it under device manager maybe I can get further but I'm at work right now.

Like the title says, any help would be greatly appreciated. Lots of searches and videos have come up with very little help.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] matthewli000:
Hi guys,

I have recently bought a galaxy watch 4 (bluetooth version) and my phone is Samsung S8. My friend is able to install apps like messages for wear os and nike run club from the google play store in the watch (Below images with the watch). However I cannot find those apps in my watch play store, I have those apps in my phone but they are not showing up after I sync the phone with the watch either.

I tried to install them from google play website then I found out it says those apps are not compatible with my watch. Any ideas how I can install them on the watch please? Thanks a lot!

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adj998:
Probably because the Galaxy Watch 4 is the only Wear OS 3 device and a lot of apps are not compatible probably. Hopefully a future update will sort this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] TheIntruder:
It's up to the app developers of said apps to "sort it out" nothing to do with the OS
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Kaba123:
I have the same issue. Had "messages for wear os" on my watch 4. Was working really fine. The I changed the watch (other colour). So on the new watch the app doesn't show in playstore or in "apps on smartphone".

Is there a workaround? With that app I could send WhatsApp messages at any time.

Edit: I sideloaded the app and it works good. Install wear installer and follow the guide (to start adb over wifi). Download messages for wear os on your phone. Then you can choose the app at the wear installer to install it on the watch. Done
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] Mario93c:
Hello I purchased about 10 days ago a Motorola Edge plus. I read on the web that the phone never get hot but trying the phone I saw that most of the times during taking a video in high resolution or also in others occasions ( also while searching on the web) the phone get hot at the temperature of 40°C/ 104°F and more.

Is it normal ?

Because on the web I found two guys who does reviews of smartphones and other people saying the Motorola edge plus never get hot, it's never overheated.

If you have a Motorola Edgle plus, wich temperature your device reaches while taking a video in 6k or by doing other activities ?

Thank you in advance
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
No it's not normal.

Something(s) running in the background.

Maybe apps you loaded?
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] Mario93c:
Wich app? I mean how can I understand wich app is causing all these problems?

"Avg antivirus" maybe ?
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Likely the one(s) with high battery consumption🤣

You don't need antivirus on an Android.

Watch your settings, what you download, apps you load and you'll be fine.
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] Mario93c:
So I canceled antivirus :)

I checked settings, the one with high battery consumption is YouTube actually. And other app of Google. Nothing more...

I think is a problem of the phone at this point... Is that possible? The battery is new, so could be the processor of the phone?
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It needs to be optimized. Very unlikely hardware is the problem.

Have you done any major firmware updates ie upgraded to a new OS version?

If so, factory reset.

If not, clear system cache.

I don't let utube run on my 10+. Gookill hate.

Cloud apps including Google backup Transport and Framework eat battery.

WhatsApp, FB, Instagram, Twitter, Tic-tok, shopping apps etc are trashware/security risks and shouldn't be on the phone.

Take out the trash...

How bright is your display? It eats a lot battery too. Keep at 50% or less to prolong display and battery life. Use dark mode and wallpapers.
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] Mario93c:
Yes I've done all the firmware updates.

So I'm going to do a factory reset to see how it behaves.

The display is not too much bright, I always have a low level of brightness and night filter also because of eyes.

I don't have any of the apps like fb, tic toc, Instagram, etc. but I just have WhatsApp and that's it.

Thank you very much for all the info, I 'm going to do a fabric reset and let you know ho does it proceeds.

Hello, I have a huge problem. Custom recovery can't flash ozip files and can't flash ofp files.

Device bricked, when I try to install stock rom recovery it can't boot that recovery, only stands on realme logo.. Orange fox recovery works and my idea is to flash custom rom because it can't flash stock rom..

Problem is every custom rom here is android 11 based and to flash it you need to be previuos on android 11 based rom.. I was on android 10 realme ui 1.

Does anyone have maybe android 10 based custom rom that I could flash using orange fox recovery?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MattR59:
I'm really into audiobooks. A good standalone audiobook player is very hard to find, so I take old Android phones and load 'smart audio book player' on them. Then I just leave them in the car.

My old audio book player phone died (some old pos LG), so I bought another old phone on marketplace for $10.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-i535pp) and it looks new!

But I can not get past the activation screen!

It looks like a newer version OS than that ones that suggest various screen taps then up-vol. I tried to load older code on it with Odin, but the BL is locked. I can't find any information on how to unlock the BL.

I don't care about root, I don't care about a custom OS, I just want to get past the activation screen.

I'm considering opening it up and removing the SIM chip.

Any ideas?

Hello all,

I have a box which was given me about a year back or so, and the person who gave it to me is no longer a friend, so I am at a bit of a loss here.....

It is an x96 Max Plus box (i think).

I am wanting to clone this box to have the same things on it, rom and all, on another x96 Max Plus box that I purchased.

I've been moving my box from room to room several times a month depending on the situation, but honestly, I am tired of doing that and just want to get a second box. Since I do not know much about this box except that it works and does what I need it to do, I want to clone it 1:1 to another x96 box.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] JanAltman:
So it was easy.

There's an AppGallery on the phone. I found the "Wear OS" app (it had some Chinese characters at the end, so it was probably the Chinese version) and installed it.

And then the original English WearOS app started working and I paired the watch normally.

Note: Don't use the Chinese one! Its purpose is only to revive the English one.

So far everything seems to be working, my accounts have transferred over, the calendar has synced, the watch has taken over the WiFi configuration, I can install the watch faces.

So thanks, Wear OS apparently works ✅ and there's not even any need for APK sideload.

-- will it remain if i factoryReset or hardReset my phone?

-- will the esim remain if i clean flash another rom?

I can tell you my experience with an Esim and Sprint. First off with a custom rom like LineageOS it doesn't work with Sprint. BUT every time I did a factory reset or flash another rom or flash back to the factory rom my phone activated right away. Again this is only with Sprint so I can't say for other carriers. Only time I had an issue was when I purposely deleted the Esim but was able to activate it again with My Sprint App.
[General Questions and Answers] Snakeforhire:
Hi all. Long time no see :)

Well, to sum it up : a few years ago I bought a phone on the cheap, which turned out to be a chinese copy of a Galaxy Note 7.

Not having much use for it (it didn't have accelerometers nor magnetometer neither GPS apparently) it stayed in a drawer for 3-4 years before I decided to give it to a family member, who had to go to her phone operator's shop to get a new SIM card, as the old one was too big.A few days later, she gets a SMS from the operator saying that she is in overuse of international phone calls (she never phones out of country, she uses Whatsapp for that), all toward Tunisia, and had racked up a bill of 650€ and counting ! :O

Luckily she won't have to pay them, as while she was at the shop in order to inquire, 3 new calls had been placed in the meantime. But she had to get a new SIM and have her number changed as well.

I thought -and the shop as well- that her SIM subscriber ID had been stolen, but I wonder how this happened : either the guy at the shop who switched her SIM cards did it (possible, as he told her to wait 15-20mins to be activated. When she got the new SIM with a new number from another clerk there was no wait involved), or somehow the phone forwarded the SIM data to a hacker who used it to clone the original SIM.

Since I've found no info about that on the web, I wanted the adice of experts in the matter. :)

So what d'you think, guys ? Any input appreciated. Thx ! :)
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Did she have the CCP virus yet?

WYSIWYG. Deep six ditch the phone.

Change all account passwords once she gets the new phone.

Not only firmware rootkits but the possibility of embedded hardware backdoors. The former can be removed, the latter not. This piece of junk isn't worth the risks!
[General Questions and Answers] Snakeforhire:
Thx !

Do you know of any methods to analyse the phone and confirm this, perhaps ?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Malwarebytes. You already know it's compromised.

You could try reflashing the rom to a know good version.

The user themselves could have downloaded a rootkit... no saving dumb bunnies.

Be careful what you download and the apps you load.
[General Questions and Answers] Snakeforhire:

[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:

I was born at night but not last night... someone might have tricked her into downloading something maybe to view a vid etc. Social engineering and malware go hand in hand.
