[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iruiz2:
I am at a loss here. After almost 2 years of working flawlessly, my s5e won't boot.

The screen got frozen while using anydesk, and had to force a restart (power button + up and fown volume buttons).

I can see the Samsung logo for less than a second, and then it switches off. Without touching anything, after some seconds the same thing happens.

I tried charching it and similar behaviour: i see charging circle for less than a second, and off again.

I AM AT A LOSS.

I managed to boot it pressing power+volume_up buttons and this is what i see (attached). It can stay like that for a long time so I guess battery and it's connection to the tablet are fine.

PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY WELCOME

UPDATE:

I have tried MANY things in the 6 hours since I wrote this post. I am able to put the tablet in download mode and ODIN (and my PC) recognizes it. I am able to flash VBMETA but now TWRP (fail).

At some point the tablet rebooted in normal mode (why?) but got frozen again and had to reboot it.

Anyone can point me to how to recover it? I don't mind right now to loose what is in the internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] BrotherBoard:
Did you try to hard reboot (power_button + volume_down ) for more than 9 seconds.

If did not work then you may have to charge the phone? If its fully charged try to flash stock rom using Odin. When your device does not boot that means the stock firmware is corrupted and needs to be flashed again. That happened to me before and now my phone is working fine. Wanna know how to flash it? Look it up online!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iruiz2:
I did try a hard reboot. Same result. I already rooted and installed a custom rom on it (first thing i did).

Twrp is installed but I'm unable to boot to it.

Any more ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] BrotherBoard:
Listen up carefully. There is a truck to boot into recovery. When you hard reboot screen will turn black then show logo. While screen is

Black quick hold vol up button and power.

Worked on my galaxy a10. Tell meh the results bro
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iruiz2:
It just loads the screen attached in my first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] dangtoi1993:
Try flash via Odin, it still in download mode with this warning.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iruiz2:
The tablet was still covered by warranty so I called the seller and they took it to a Samsung repair store. They replaced the motherboard, so I guess it was not recoverable.

The bad news is that they updated to android 11, I was quite happy with old 9.0 :( because I had TWRP and Magisk working.

Thank you for all that tried to help.

Ok now is that enough with my patient with this phone.! On a global rom and it is stil on june patch. For good sake. My friends low budget Samsung is on september patch. This is not ok. Worst phone after my old Xperia performenc.:(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
I wouldn't worry about that at all.

Updates can trash a phone... if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be!

ALWAYS redundantly backup your critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC!!!

My N10+ hasn't been updated in almost 2 years.

The current load is over a year old, still fast and very stable with no issues. Security simply isn't an issue unless you do something stupid.

I'm running on Pie and never was forced to reload because of malware in 2 years... that's how secure an unpatched Android can be.

However even with a fully updated Android... there's no saving dumb bunnies🤣
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hungragezone:
Why people care so much about that update things?

What we need is a stable phone with everythings work. Not an updated phone but buggy software.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's mostly hype. Google trying to scare you into upgrading to boost their market share numbers rather than what's best for you.

I'm sampling Android 10* right now. If it runs better than 9 and I find the work arounds I need, I'll upgrade the other Note to 10 as well.

I'd like identical twins🤣

No way they'll be updated to 11 though... it's a dog.

* How well it works also has a lot to do with how well Samsung wrote the firmware. I noticed at lot of new little apks to get around Android's lame swipe gestures and such. I still have my navigation buttons at the bottom on the new Note.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] JanPauw:
Hi, I recently got myself the Redmi Note 10 Pro and it came with a stock ROM of MIUI 12.0.2 Stable (RKFZAVC).

I live in South Africa, hence the "ZA" in "RKFZAVC".

I of course went to the settings and tried updating to the latest stable version of the ROM as I have been seeing videos online about MIUI 12.5. I had no luck there... It tells me that there aren't any Updates available.

So my second idea was to download the ROM myself and load it onto the phone and use the "Choose update package" option from the update screen. I had no luck with this either; Firstly I cannot find the RKFZAVC version of the ROM anywhere online. And secondly downloading a global ROM or an EU ROM, does not work, as the phone does not see them as "official".

I did some more research and then found the Mi PC Suite Tool (http://pcsuite.mi.com/). I booted into recovery, signed into the software, and tried doing an update through "Update>R. Flash". This method actually found an updated RKFZAVC ROM and started downloading it.

Now my problem is, as soon as the download reaches 50%, my phone restarts into the "System" and because of that the update fails, with the software prompting me with the message: "Couldn't Update. Sign in to your Mi Account".

I tried this once or twice again, and the same thing happens.

PS: The bootloader is still locked. But I have linked the Phone to my Mi Account, following the steps laid out in the settings page under developer options.

So I guess my question(s) is are:

Does anyone know what could be causing the 50% issue? Could it be because of the bootloader not being unlocked?

Does anyone know where I would be able to download my South African ROM(RKFZAVC) to maybe try "Choose update package" again?

Any help/point in a direction would be much appreciated :). If push comes to shove, I'll just wait my 7 days, and flash something custom.

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] JanPauw:
I have found a solution. I realised that the MiPCSuite after the initial download to 50% always started from 50% again. So I had to assume the files were downloaded somewhere... In the MiPCSuite settings, you can set your download directories, but there is one that is not displayed there, but the folder is on the same level as the two directories...

It should look something like this: "D:\Xiaomi\MiPhoneManager\OTA"

Where "D:" can be exchanged with whatever your drive letters are set to.

I copied that file over to my phone, did the "Choose update package", and now I have MIUI 12.5.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] unoturbo1:
Hi, I am also from South Africa. I actually just changed the region in settings to India, checked for update, and my phone was updated to MIUI 12.5.2 (Redmi note 10 pro). To what MIUI version was your phone updated to through the Mi software?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] JanPauw:
It updated to MIUI 12.5.2 as well, but of course, the South African version, which I quickly realised is restricted to some nice features.

I found a thread describing the region changing, and I did that :LOL: Wish I'd have known sooner...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] unoturbo1:
I noticed the restriction to some of the features shown in YouTube videos as well, so it updated to the same version as yours. I was hoping for 12.5.8 which is latest global version, but no luck. View attachment 5420415

Sorry for my eng

I also have redmi 9t wifi is also weak I switch to a custom rom named arrowos same result weak it's a hardware problem the unit has weak antennas I decided to live with it just set the ip to static so that it wont disconnect and you need to be 3-5 meters near for strong signal around 6 meters up wifi will be 50percent below i think the max range would be 9 meters before no signal haha also with walls and obstructions fluctuation of signal is high best to be with clear sight we get what we pay for its cheap but has very major downsides and serious bugs when using miui firmware more bugs will occur others has deadboot issues thats why I switched to custom rom arrowos is clean and fast so much better for me than miui

✏ FP2 How to use TWRP without flashing it (e.g. for Backup)

I already posted it here, but I’m pretty sure many people aren’t aware of this 😉 I found a way to boot TWRP without flashing it, so you only boot it from your computer, do what you want and as soon as you shutdown your phone, it’s just as it was before. 🙂 TWRP is a great tool for many things...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] woocker:
I have exactly the same issue on my Redmi note 5, after auto rebooted by the update, the system stucked at the TWRP inital screen;

I tried to force shut it down by holding power button, then holding volume down botton, fastboot screen appeared, but nothing changed or happened in windows device manager, so fastboot commands are not available.

I also tried to drained the battory by leaving it alone until the TWRP initial screen off, after charging it for a few minutes, it auto powered on, loaded into TWRP initial screen, stucked again, even I booted it into fastboot mode again, windows device manager had no any android device or unrecognised device appeared. I guess that the usb interface was disabled during the OTA update.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Whippet:
Can I upgrade WM5 to WM6 without unlocking my 8125?

Someone told me I can, but I can't find any info.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ashasaur:
If you have a G3 device then yes, you do not have to CID or SIM unlock your phone. If you have a G4 device, then you have to either use the SoftSPL or HardSPL methods of CID "unlocking" to get a 6 or 6.1 ROM on your phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Whippet:
Screenshots

Are there any NBD v9.2 screenshots?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] starkwong:
ashasaur is not correct.

To allow flashing ROMs of non-original brand, you MUST unlock(or simulate unlock) your wizard, otherwise flashing non-original brand ROMs throuth RUU will fail.

For G3, you need to CID-unlock it (or to install HardSPL)

For G4, you need to install HardSPL (Note G3 HardSPL is different with G4 HardSPL, don't get the wrong version)

There exists a tool called ShellTool to flash a ROM without unlocking, however that tool is proved unstable and easy to get the ROM uploaded incompletely, so don't ever use that method.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bas2.0:
My OnePlus 8 pro suddenly have some weird problems.

OS : 11.0.8.8 IN11BA no root

I can connect my Bluetooth headphones and sometimes it works for a few minutes and than the phone switch to phone speakers from itself.

I push volume rocker to change but it isn't working.

I unpaired all devices / I reset network connections and cleaned cash from Bluetooth apps. I even did a factory reset but nothing is solving the problem.

I'm trying now for days it's very frustrating.

I searched here on xda and OnePlus community also YouTube and really tried everything I could find.

Should I downgrade to android 10? Is 11 the problem ?

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this ?

Thank you so much.

[Google Pixel 5a] scarlion:
Previously I could just plug my phone into my computer and run "adb pull -a /sdcard ." (Android 8) But that command doesn't work anymore now that I have a Pixel 5a with Android 11, it's filled with errors, such as:

adb: error: failed to copy '/sdcard/Android/data/com.alltrails.alltrails/files/tiles/tile_cache.db-wal' to './sdcard/Android/data/com.alltrails.alltrails/files/tiles/tile_cache.db-wal': remote open failed: Permission denied

This is some random app file, and I'm sure there are others too with weird permissions which cause adb to quit as soon as it has the error.

I've read that I could use a command like this:

adb exec-out "tar -ch sdcard | gzip" > sdcard_backup.tar.gz

but this just produces a corrupted archive because "tar" can't read all of the files either and so the error messages get inserted into the archive.

Any other ideas to simply get a full backup of /sdcard? Thanks
[Google Pixel 5a] jcmm11:
I'm guessing that you're not rooted. That means that you probably won't be able to access most (if not all) of Android/data due to scoped storage restrictions.

If you change the tar command to

tar -chzf sdcard_backup.tar.gz sdcard

you should at least split out the errors from the data. The z option tells tar to compress the output using gzip. No need to explicitly pipe it through an external gzip program. f tells it that the next string is the output file name.

For the full tar manual see

GNU tar 1.35

GNU tar 1.35

www.gnu.org

A good file explorer should be able to get access to the restricted directories so you could use that to copy the data from there. I'm not sure about restoring in this case though since permissions may not be properly preserved.

If you are rooted then you can use tar to grab everything. There are options to preserve permissions but I would use the /data/media/0 path for that (path may not be correct. I'm going by memory since I'm not currently rooted and can't see the necessary directory structures).

I'll follow up here eventually once I do root, hopefully in a few days.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chevy454:
which one do everyone think is better
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jdiperla:
M2D is more popular, but Throttle Launcher is improving quickly and is more customizable with plenty of features such as Flash plugins and Widgets, etc... TL is clearly the best UI for WM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kraize:
I use both :)

Use Manilla2D as regular, then some of the tabs of TL in SecondToday.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yrsmart:
TL as I been reading M2D can take up quite a bit of space on a non-htc device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drmidnight:
neither ;)

rltoday will remain on my screen forever. I love mucking around with tl and m2d, but in the end I always go with rltoday.

Both are very nice today plugins, but my personal preference is rl.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zoltair Wright:
@drmidnight: really? i mean, i respect your opinion, and you've released some great-looking themes for rl, but i've found that rl isn't very functional. having to use mortscript's sys2reg feels sort of... i don't know, inelegant? though i admit it's easier to make rl look great.

i'm actually debating which of these to install once my phone comes back from repairs. TL still seems a little buggy but i like how customizable it is. plus i'm a little wary of HTC apps, i used htc home on my Prophet until i realized that it had a huge memory leak and it would randomly soft-reset my phone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Khrushy:
As of the last few versions: M2D

While I love tweaking things, the ease of use they've finally achieved with M2D and it's skins is something that TL can't compete with right now.

TL has a ton of potential, but unless you have both the time, and the knowledge, for it (and lots of both) then it's a lot less user friendly ;P
