[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] aslocke:
I was trying to upgrade my OP6 from the latest OOS 11 beta to a custom ROM.

I made sure the bootloader was unlocked, USB debugging enabled, backed everything up and rebooted into fastboot mode.

I flashed TWRP using "fastboot flash boot TWRP.img" and rebooted. I now see the above message when I try to boot. I've tried the MSM tool, but that hangs on "param preload" and shows no progress bar. I also tried flashing the fastboot ROM using flash-all.bat (which has helped me in the past), and extracting and flashing the boot.img file using payload dumper. I also trieda droidwin guide for restoring it to stock using fastboot commands one by one, but I can't flash critical partitions even after re-locking and unlocking using unlock critical. fastboot says secure boot is enabled.

I've been researching and trying everything all day, I haven't found anything successful, so I'm feeling pretty defeated. I can boot into fastboot and execute commands, and flashing boot.img and rebooting into recovery gives me "wiping, please wait" and hangs at 99%, and ADB devices shows it as "unauthorized."

edit: Now flashing boot.img and rebooting into recovery gives me a black screen.

edit 2: I fixed it by following this (https://www.droidwin.com/restore-oneplus-6-stock-via-fastboot-commands/) tutorial and just ignored the critical partitions errors. I think flashing the vendor is what fixed it, but I'm not sure.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dorlow:
So, I've had this phone a while. I had some bad experiences with rooting in the past, so I swore not to attempt to root this one. But, the whole point of Pixels are they're unlocked and you can do whatever you want. I upgraded to android 12. For whatever reason, I cannot send emails in Gmail since upgrading to android 12. Verizon sent me a new phone and the new phone worked on android 11 and as soon as I upgraded to android 12, i lost my ability to send emails and also, if I delete an email on the web, it takes sometimes hours for it to reflect on my phone.

I just wanted to unlock the bootloader so I could downgrade back to android 11... no root. Then re-lock my bootloader. But, my oem unlocking is greyed out.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:
If you purchased your phone from Verizon then you will not be able to root it because Verizon doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked on most of their flagship devices.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dorlow:
I've unlocked previous pixel bootloader's that I got from Verizon.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:
I think back when the P1 and P2 came out you could but I do recall there being a work around to unlocking the bootloaders on Verizon Pixels because of exploited vulnerabilities. I could be wrong.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dragynbane222:
This belongs in the Q/A section, not the Roms section.

As for Verizon Pixels, general rule of thumb is you won't be able to unlock the bootloader. Best way around this is buying the phone directly from Google, the carrier unlocked version.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] edywanwan:
Just got a used unit for my wife with warranty for 7 days.

On the same day flashed Des-Prof HardSPL and a cooked ROM.

Later the next day the USB port can't connect to PC anymore, maybe due to some broken pins inside. So it is quite difficult to flash Original ROM from PC , especially SPL which must go through SSPL and PC USB Flashing.

This is what I did and successful;

1. Extract OEM ROM content using nbh extract tool.

2. Pack using hrt Rom Tool the SPL.nb and Both Splash.nb and build the .nbh file using htcrt ROM Tool. Name this nbh file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy to Mini SD Card which had been formatted with FAT32 earlier.

3. Copy SSPL to any location on device main.

4. Insert the Mini SD Card .

5. Now, run SSPL on the device, it will start flashing like normal ROM Flashing. It takes few seconds to complete and finally it just stuck at the infamous 3-colour screen. No matter what I did it just stay there ( phone already bricked !). But the bootloader shows original SPL, no more hard SPL! So, reverting back to Original SPL already success and happily done.

4. At this bootloader tri-colour screen,I just flash original RUU_Signed.nbh which its name changed to TRINIMG.nbh using Mini SD Card.

So happily done and will return back tomorrow to the seller for warranty purpose.

How to flash stock ROM

I broke USB on my device too.

How do you flash ROM from tri-color screen?

Do you push any buttons?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] edywanwan:
yes ,just insert the card with TRINIMG.nbh.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ivanobich:
Hi,

I have one of the USB pins broken so I need to use this method to bring it back to the original state.

I have two doubts that it could be quite helpfull in anyone confirms them:

1) Can I flash directly from a cooked 6.1 WM to the old 5.o Vodafone one or do I need to pash to a faman 3.3?

2) in the wiki says that I need to use a miniSD but I have a micro SD with adaptar. Is there any way I can do it with a microSD?

Thanks a lot,
[P3600 Software Upgrading] edywanwan:
I use microsd with adapter too for my case,seems no problem.

Flash the stock ROM first then flash Stock SPL which was packed together with splash in.nbh.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ivanobich:
Thanks for the info.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] goy2k:
Hi edywanwan,

thanks for advise ;)

Now my Trinity is clear to be send back to the vendor. I hope never to see it again.

I tried it several times without success, but here is what I've done:

1. Extract SPL.NB from original ROM

2. rebuild SPL.NBH. Both, 1. and 2., done with NBHUtil

3. Copy new SPL.NBH and SSPL-TRIN.exe to root of SD-card (no other .nbh file)

4. Try starting device with Windows (O.K. this is the hardest part :))

5. Start Fileexplorer, navigate to SD-card and start SSPL-TRIN

The device will fall to Bootscreen (3 colors), flash new SPL and that's it. Connect it to USB (without restart) and reflash the wanted ROM. Voila, original configuration :)
[Google Pixel 5a] zschmeez:
Hi, I've run into another new issue with Android 12 and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. Inside the camera app, the video ends up seriously cropped compared to how it was on Android 11. Whereas before I could shoot indoor things (cat videos, etc) with the normal lens, now I'm having to go out to the ultrawide to fit things in frame. For now I'm getting around it by using a custom older version of Gcam, but I'd like to just use the normal app if possible. Is anyone else seeing this?
[Google Pixel 5a] zschmeez:
This is with the stock app:

View attachment 5446125

Compared to how it was with Android 11 and on the custom Gcam app

View attachment 5446127

As you can see, it's a significant amount of cropping. Both with the same standard stabilization enabled. (And pardon the messy desk)

I also tried installing the older 8.2 APK, but to no avail. It's older than the 8.3 that comes with the OS, so you can't go back further than that. And also my old technique for resigning apps to make the system think they're separate apps doesn't seem to be working, but if anyone could figure out a way to do that, I'm all ears.
[Google Pixel 5a] forty-second:
It's normal. This how EIS works.
[Google Pixel 5a] zschmeez:
Did you even read? This is considerably more cropped than the same stabilization setting on Android 11. It turns it from perfectly usable to completely worthless. And if I'm recording 1080p60 or 4K, it's actually recording at less than full resolution and blowing it up, which looks terrible.
[Google Pixel 5a] daseyjack:
It is normal I think that is how it works.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
I think I understand your question but I don't think I recorded any videos before upgrading to Android 12, so I don't have any comparison. I agree that the "1x" video on 12 has a narrower field of view than the equivalent "1x" still photo mode. Allso the video UI does not seem to have any option to disable image stabilization completely. I see that it offers .6x only for standard and cinematic pan. The other modes start at 1x or 2x, so I'm not even sure if the number always means the same sensor.
[Google Pixel 5a] gago28:
Yeah, I experienced the same issue, using exactly the same video camera settings the video on Android 12 has much narrower fov. I find it strange that no one is talking about this, maybe no one cares, but when making indoors videos it's a big deal since you have to switch to the wide angle lens, which gathers much less light.
[Google Pixel 5a] zschmeez:
The ultrawide camera also lacks autofocus, so if you're trying to film something close-up like a computer screen, it won't be in focus. This is definitely a major issue.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
I just noticed that when you pull down the settings pane in the camera app, click "More settings", and scroll down, you can find a toggle to disable video stabilization. This gives a wider field of view and seems to show a similar lightly shaded on-screen control for stabilization. Trying to touch that control raises a hint to enable stabilization in the settings.

Are you sure that the Android 11 and custom app are enabled and not in this funny state with the partial shading of the control button?

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ` Can-dlE !:
Guys, i need help - that's first timer i have something like this.

after flashing, only what i have is a bootloop - both, when I try to start the system (Logo Redmi and reset) , or when i try to enter in recovery.

As if after flashing something jerked the recovery partition.

On the other hand - I tried to run recovery raw without flashing, from adb - the same happens, attempts to enter the mode end with the twrp logo and reset in the loop.

Any ideas? advance questions - done everything according to the procedure, I didn't do it for the first time.

At this moment, all what i can do is flash miui from fastboot mode in MiFlashTool. I will try flash the rom again, but... What the hell? ^^

It's not happening. It fails while flashing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Labeled:
I tried adding the same finger a second time, and I've stopped getting failed scans.

If you're struggling with the accuracy maybe try added your same finger again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've heard this before for other phones as well. I take a different approach. I'm assuming someone might come and cut up to four of my fingers off, so I register five different fingers (3 from one hand, 2 from another). If one finger fails to scan quickly enough, I try the next. If I get to my middle finger, then we know things are bad. 🤣
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mang0:
Why would they just stop at four? 🤔🤣
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Itaintrite:
Seriously though, I find it way more accurate and faster than my Note 20 Ultra. I'm constantly surprised by how consistent well it works. Have yet to require a second read.

Someone else mentioned in another thread that just touching the scanner works a lot better as they were pressing into it before. I've only ever lightly touched my scanner and never had an issue with it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mastabog:
Hi,

I have several contacts that have numbers containing P (the pause), mainly for dialing through voip services providing cheap international calls such as dialnow.com or nonoh.net who provide a landline number that you can call from your mobile

The problem is that the phone does not match the full number with the contact, it only matches the first part up to the P. What I mean is, I have multiple numbers starting with the same landline, then P, then their number, like so:

0123453335P078127493041# - Foo Bar

0123453335P078924134212# - Joe Doe

0123453335P...

You get the picture. What happens is that the phone always identifies any of those numbers, regardless of which I call, only as "Foo Bar" (or which ever is first in the contacts list). It's quite annoying as it gets registered as Foo Bar everywhere: e.g. in the call history, while the call is in progress etc and only the first part of the number is displayed. Another problem is that if I use this kind of contact as a favorite in the People page in TouchFLO 3D, and I try to call it straight from the People page, then only the landline number is dialed, the part with P and the rest of the number is not sent at all ...

I would like it to be able to do a full match on the number, not just the first part up to P, so that it appears correctly in the call history, during call and to be able to call such a number from the People page in TouchFLO 3D.

Any fix for this?

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mastabog:
bump?

anyone has any idea of what I could try at least?

would a different dialer work? anything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mastabog:
so many replies ... :p

I have found a workaround myself ... if you replace the P with a , (comma) then you will get a full match; maybe someone else wants that behaviour.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thyogo:
I have the same problem but no luck with comma...

What have you done? one number with p and the other with comma? that should work but if we have more than 2 ...

By the number of answers you got... i'm sure it will be complicated to solve this one :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sutepm:
I solved this problem by sticking a space before the p :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
P works for me. I use it with a prefix number for 0800 numbers so that the call is part of my free mins.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
Just spotted that you use a capital P. I use a small p. Might make a difference.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thyogo:
Thanks everyone.. it looks like that this depends on the dialler program used.

For me that solutions were not working but then I've updated my ROM (with new dialer) and it started to work.

Thanks a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] LollipopLover:
Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I hope someone can help me.

I've always loved custom roms which take a stock manufacturers image and add fixes or tweaks. I love roms such as Fulmics for the LG G3.

Now that I've got quite a few phones hanging around in the drawer, I'd really like to try my hand at taking a stock image and modifying it to my heart's content. However whenever I've looked into this, I've gotten a bit lost and mostly ran into guides talking about compiling AOSP.

Does anyone have any guides or tools which can help me modify stock roms (such as LG or Nokia)?

If a phone's Android OS ( aka Stock ROM ) is rooted then it can get changed in any way according to user's wishes.

Just in case someone has an unused promo code for ear buds, looks like I was late for the party (ordered on 10/29) for 1 day and the only way to get a complimentary ear buds is to use a promo code. Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
If you have purchased the Pixel 6 from the Google store and forgot to include the buds!

You will get an email on November 3 from Google store with your claim codes for the buds.
[Google Pixel 6] koreyb:
You had to order by the 27th.

I'll be honest, that's a tough ask for $100 value. Who knows maybe you'll get lucky!

eBay might be a good place to look for a deal on a code from somebody not interested in redeeming it.
[Google Pixel 6] ustal:
I was hoping some folks received the promo code and will never use it for different reasons. As I said I was late for 1 day and even thought he shopping card suggested not to forget about the promotion and add the buds, the system failed to discount them. Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
It is odd that your first post here on this Site. Is asking for free ear buds.

The code is tied to your Google store account and invoice.

If it wasn't, the whole world would have free buds. Crap travels quickly.
[Google Pixel 6] mkstevo:
Here in the UK, pre-orders qualified for some Bose 700 over-ear headphones. With a reported retail price of £350 UKP. The claim procedure is slightly convoluted in that you have to claim 14 days after ordering, but less than 45 days. That may put some people off claiming? You had to order the Pixel 6/6 Pro between 19th and 27th October to qualify.
[Google Pixel 6] ustal:
Nevertheless just received an email from google offering a free ear buds, thank you!

Hi all,

Ive noticed recently that when listening to music on my watch via my BT headphones, if i get a notification, message etc, music stops, and the watch reverts back to 'listening on device', instead of the watch, so i need to reconnect my BT again for the music to resume..

Only way to stop it is to disconnect from wifi/data so i dont get notifications. This seems really stupid, my previous S3 watch did not do this...

Known bug, anyone else having this issue? Or am i missing a setting somewhere?

I've realized that SMS (at least) have a maximum number on Touchflo (25). Is there a way to increase this number?

I suppose there is a tweak or a registry change to do...?
