[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] NadCat:
I'm aware of the usual tips for this but nothing seems to be working for me. I currently have three phones (S3 Mini with stock android, OPO and HTC U11 with Lineage). I've just installed the latest Lineage release on my HTC and everything seemed to be working. However, I can no longer boot into recovery. TWRP (from which I've just installed the Lineage update) doesn't show up at all. It just boots into a blackscreen that turns into what seems to be a Lineage recovery with these error messages:

E:inotify_addd_watch failed: No such file or directory

E:[libfs_mgr]Skipping mounting '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache'

E:[libfs_mgr]Failed to open '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache' : No such file or directory

E:[libfs_mgr]Failed to mount /cache: No such file or directory

E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to open /dev/block/bootdevice&/by-name/misc: No such file or directory

E:inotify_addd_watch failed: No such file or directory

E:[libfs_mgr]Skipping mounting '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache'

E:[libfs_mgr]Failed to open '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache' : No such file or directory

E:[libfs_mgr]Failed to mount /cache: No such file or directory

At this point I'd use ADB to flash TWRP and hope a newer version works but I can't connect my phone to my PC. And I've tried all three phones with different cables with my PC and laptop (both Win10) but not once did a computer even play the "something connected" sound, the USB preferences on every phone are greyed out, and the phones don't show the USB connection notification. I was currently trying to reinstall Magisk but I have to get into the recovery for that (and the Lineage recovery doesn't allow me to flash the .img file edited by the Magisk Manager). I just don't know what I could do to fix this.

Edit: I unfortunately have zero information on why it works now but after rebooting the phone for the 100th time it showed up in adb.

Hi.

Have a good day,

Is it possible to upgrade my Android 7.1.1 Quad Core-T3 device to the latest version :)

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] anjon_007:
Please help me to solve this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Maskman_101:
Try this step again, Go to Settings > About Phone > All specs, tap kernel version many times, test fingerprint sensor. Visit the service center if the test fails or install android 11 new version.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Dondiriraa:
I'm sure this is a software problem. I've never been this careful with a phone in my life and I also have the same problem. Unless the update somehow tucked with the motherboard idk. But my best option is to wait for another update to roll out
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] mvenezia00:
I bought this phone and after some months i faced this stupid issue too. I've been very careful but had to send the phone to a service center. They said that they changed the fingerptint sensor. Since then no more fingerprint issues...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] cpt_redbeard:
Same thing with me, it was hardware. After only 6 months of use, I had to send it to a repair service under warranty. So far I had no issues with the sensor.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] raph_quiroule:
same here, fingerprint sensor is missing from menus. I will send it to a repair service.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] zabegan34:
Well it seems the only solution is to send to repair and i think warranty will cover that.. Seems like factory problem :/

But I don't care anymore, since if i send it, it would take maybe 1-2 months, so during that period i would be without phone..
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] engage4:
Possible fingerprint sensor flex cable damage. Try restarting your phone while gently pressing around finger print sensor.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] lookatlgg4:
this is not a software issiue i have the same issiue and i changed the sensor 7 months later it still works great
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Clavelol:
I was also careful with my phone and after 3 months of buying it, the fingerprint unlock option disappeared. I couldn't find any solution and tried everything I could. In the end, I took it to a repair shop and they told me that the cable connecting the fingerprint sensor to the motherboard was damaged. They said it was due to a design flaw by Xiaomi. I would recommend you doing the same thing if the rest of things dont work.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] mtastepe:
The same problem started for me. I had used it very carefully until this time. As you mentioned, it seems to be a chronic problem. When I did some research, many people mentioned that it was fixed with a software update. My sensor disappeared a few days after the last security patch. It could be a coincidence, of course. For now, I am waiting for the upcoming MIUI 14 update instead of sending it to any service. I hope it solves the problem or I will probably send it to the service.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] zabegan34:
Unfortunaly its hardware problem bro. Button needs replacement , and there is no guarantee how much time will work even replaced. I hate to send to official repair shop, as it will takes weeks, and i have no spare phone. So i just use double tap to turn on the screen aswell to turn off the screen on display
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] durrjunaid:
Hardware issues. Replace power button will fix this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] R-O-B:
Same here, fingerprint sensor was missing from menu after 4 months of use. Sensor was replaced by repair service. Fingerprint + camera broke again after 3 months. I will never buy a Xiaomi device.

.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] lookatlgg4:
Mi 11 lite is a very flawed device, they made a ne nel version to fix mano of the issiues and there not many ne xiaomi devices so most are reliable
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] dlndrx:
if it can't be used or is difficult then it looks like the cable in the button has broken but, if it's just the fingerprint that can't be used it might just be damage to the sensor or cableView attachment 6093989
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] lookatlgg4:
The wire Is routed like 💩, everytime the button Is pressed It squeezes the wire and with time It either kills It entirely or more commonly only the fp side of the wire
[Introductions] The0riginal:
My first smartphone was an HTC 8X in green, still have the phone and miss Windows Phone's smooth performing OS.

My first dive into Xperia was with the Z3 Compact. I almost bought the Z1C but decided to go the with Z3C because it was new. I loved the idea of a smaller phone with killer performance and camera. We then got a Z3 Tablet Compact. I tried the One+2 at one point and while I loved the blue buttons at the bottom it was far too large and got too warm. My wife then got a XA1 and I got a XZ1. I was shopping around for different manufacturers because I felt like Sony could have done better with the build quality of my Z3C and XZ1 and with the Xperia 1 it seemed like they were also ditching the headphone jack which I'm not ready to get rid of. At the last minute though I decided to get the Xperia 1 ii and I'm honestly glad I did. The build quality is impressive so far. I love that they have stuck with the flat slate style for most of their phones. It is also impressive that they have pushed to keep the stereo speakers, headphone jack, and lack of any notches in the screen.

I keep my phones for a while, it will be interesting to see what their models look like in 3-5 years, especially since they seem to be having a fairly decent 2021. I wonder if many LG customers switched to Xperia after LG exited the market earlier this year.

Cheers!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Novasport:
I have the T-Mobile(UK) version of the Diamond & I am experiencing many issues with it.

I had the Vario II before and never had a problem with it but this is driving me nuts at times.

I love the phone but the issues I am experiencing are spoiling it.

The issues include...

1. When phone has been charging if you turn it on from standby the screen comes up but is frozen. Holding off button does not work, the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I have also had it freeze with the screen black.

2. The phone vibrates & continues to do so, again only removing the battery will stop it.

3. Ring tone does not start until a short while after a call comes through.

4. Lower part of handset gets extremely hot whilst in use.

5. I have NTL mail set up & it continuously shows 1 unread email message. I have recieved hundreds of emails since and read them all but the 1 unread message logo on home screen & text on bottom of screen in NTL mail remains even if inbox is empty. Didnt want to 'Clear NTL mail' as I want to keep my sent messages etc.

6. Type assist thing is extremely annoying & I dont seem to be able to permanently turn it off! I write something then put a full stop, question mark etc and press enter or space and it puts it at the beginning of the word, not after where it should be.

7. Changed keypad layout but still remains as big QWERTY.

8. Intermittently all my contacts vanish & the numbers in my call history have lost their name tags.

9. Just noticed all my 'Favourite people tags' have disappeared

10. Also the finish is rubbing off the back cover even though I am very carful with it and mainly keep it in my suit pocket. Had my Vario II for 18 months and it still looks like new.

11. Many other issues but cant remember them all at the moment.

I have not altered any of the software and am not very technical so please keep any replies very basic.

I have had the phone about 3 months, how do I go on with returning it under warranty if there is no easy fix?

Thanks

Rich
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kiran999:
This can be resolved by going to your inbox, then click "inbox" in the top left and goto "Outlook E-mail" where there is a welcome message. Delete that and you should be ok.

Regarding the other problems you might need to upgrade your ROM, theres plenty of info in the Diamond ROM development section on that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Novasport:
Unfortunately that does not work. The unread message is showing in my NTL world inbox, you go into the inbox and there is nothing there! It even says '1 unread message' along the bottom of the screen even though the inbox is empty:confused:

How do you upgrade the ROM? Will it affect the warranty?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Novasport:
Just tried the Clear "NTL World" option in tools as a last resort but its still there!:mad:

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] gortbrown:
Hello!

So I know that there are a bunch of posts about this here and on other forums, but some specific questions were raised from them that I haven't been able to find the answer to. First off, under the OEM Unlocking setting, it says connect or the internet or contact your carrier. Has anyone tried contacting Verizon to see if they could unlock a bootloader before? I figure given the fact that they seem to dislike people unlocking their bootloader that it's a slim chance, but I wanted to know if anyone has tried and succeeded on the off chance it was possible. Also, I've seen a couple of posts relating to other pixel models saying something about removing your sim card and getting it to work. One mentioned a factory reset, but others didn't so I'm not sure. Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work?

Hello.

Did anyone find a functional application for recording calls? :)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] gerhard_wa:
Because some countries have laws against call recording without both part consent Samsung like most other makers block this in firmware. Many countries have laws that require only one part to consent (the recording part) to recording and so it is not blocked in this case. Sometime firmware’s are for a group of countries and then if any of the countries have the stricter law for call recording is blocked.

To get call recording you will most likely require root access.

Telephone call recording laws - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] pacificator1048:
Or you can change the country code to one that has call recording built in
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] gerhard_wa:
The country of origin of the sim card will sometimes decide whether call recording is enabled or blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] pacificator1048:
I agree. That was my experience with previous models. Oddly enough it doesn't seem to be the case here.

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] nate8819:
Hi guys :)

I have a question to those who have the edge s chinese version of the phone and replaced the chinese rom for the global retail rom

do you guys get any ota software updates from motorola?

if not, does it means I have to install a new version of the retail rom manually every time it comes out?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] sd_shadow:
Very unlikely that OTA updates will work, when not on the original "carrier.ro"

Somewhere on the phone it still knows its original channel.

If you want updates you will have to flash manually.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] nate8819:
Thank you I really appreciate it 😊
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] moxtrom:
Can't test this at the moment, but what about giving the update app storage permissions and copying the update as Blur_Version.zip to the root of the phone storage. Will that work?

Or will an adb sideload update.zip work as well or we'll have to do a clean install everytime?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] danilocps87:
Yes, you can install it manually trought fastboot or internal memory using SD card (rename OTA file to update.zip).

But, if I'm not wrong, both methods will format your device during installation. So, you can only update from OTA without format if you are using same rom from your original update channel.

Hi, thank you for this guide. I am a newbie at modding, and I don't have any idea how to have a Linux environment. Is there any chance I can send you my boot.img and ask you to patch it for me?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MariusSays63:
I can send you files I used but you need only python and the script from the link listed in the instructions. where to upload them?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] Tupolef:
Hi,

I hope this is helpful, I have updated the post regarding 3 points:

Magisk no longer offers the modules directly from the Magisk app, you have to download them yourself. So I put the links where they are needed.

Magisk since version 24.0 offers Zygisk, a feature that replaces the Riru module. LSPosed now offers a Zygisk version, no more need for Riru. I changed the links.

I added a section about network improvement, through DNS and Kernel settings with KTweak and Props. I really saw a difference.

There is still a problem, the fact that there is no update for the release that I had chosen at the beginning for the moment: https://github.com/TTTT55/Lineage-OTA

I may try to update to another release with the same bases to see but for the moment I stay on this version.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] Tupolef:
You can patch boot.img on Windows too.

Install python3 and 7-zip :

- https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.4/python-3.10.4-amd64.exe

- https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2107-x64.exe

Download a copy of Patcher-Oss :

- https://github.com/YaAlex3/patcher-oss/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Extract main.zip in a folder and put your boot.img in the same folder, where main.py is.

Open a command prompt or powershell under windows and go to this folder with the "cd" command. Then run the script main.py with the command :

python3 main.py boot.img

Hi,

I have been using stock lineage OS for the past 2 days and it performs amazing. I have installed magisk and flashed the cherry kernel along with the adreno drivers. However, it seems like I have been experiencing lags and stutters in overall navigation since. Is this normal? Should I wait for a brief period before it performs optimal again?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MariusSays63:
FWIW: I haven't installed cherry kernel neither adreno drivers and I'm happy with stock lineage performance as it is.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] lyleflyle:
I was quite curious on how it will perform with Cherry Kernel. I, too, was fully happy with stock lineage. Do you have any idea if the kernel will be back to stock if I re-flash the lineage ROM?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MariusSays63:
>>Do you have any idea if the kernel will be back to stock if I re-flash the lineage ROM?

I'm pretty sure you will reinstall the kernel and drivers in this case. Play with it :)
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] Tupolef:
Personally, I've been on this configuration for 5 months and I have no lags.

I use this device to receive important notifications from many apps and as a backup hotspot. Sometimes some web browsing or audio stream with NewPipe or Spotify, but no games. I only have 2 widgets for calendar and tasks, and I always close the apps I don't use.

The only downside is that the Gcam apps are all very buggy or slow with this device, I ended up switching back to the LineageOs app. Apparently LineageOs 19 switches to Camera2, I will try to install it on the 18.1.

[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] bunchofdutch:
First of all, thanks a lot for this guide!

One information + 2 questions:

1) Info: unlocking the bootloader is no longer possible on linux, even with recent patches to the XiaoMiToolV2. See the thread under that tool. I was able to do it on Windows however using the official Xiaomi tool.

2) Question 1: after I have flashed PBRP I cannot boot into it from fastboot. "fastboot boot ./recovery.img" sends the image and says "booting OKAY" but nothing happens, the phone remains in fastboot. I have to deconnect from the PC and go to PBRP manually by long pressing vol up + power. Has anyone come across this? I have tried several times, even going fully back to stock, installing PBRP anew etc., it is repeatable. Also, with my old Redmi 4A there is no such problem, I can boot into my custom recovery from fastboot. Does it have any repercussions?

3) Question 2: I'm trying to install crDroidAndroid-12.1-20220617-Mi439-v8.6.zip. I wipe and flash with PBRP, no errors. But it soft-bricks the device, only fastboot comes up afterward and I have to flash stock again... Does anyone here have experience with crDroidAndroid-12.1-20220617-Mi439-v8.6.zip? Thanks!
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] bunchofdutch:
Just an update with respect to what I wrote here yesterday: today, following _almost_ this same process, I was able to start the phone with a custom ROM today. Only 2 differences:

-This time I formatted data in PBRP (not just wipe); not sure this matters however, since output always says "formatting data"?!

-This time I flashed crDroidAndroid-11.0-20220318-pine-v7.16.zip. I can really recommend this ROM by the way!
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] Tupolef:
Thanks for the information about XiaoMiToolV2.

For that and the boot, I'll update in a little while, I plan to reinstall the device with the new LineageOs within the month.

I will update this post and answer you more extensively.
