[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Ditch FB* and any social media that's loaded as an app... crapware.

Clear system cache.

Disable all power management.

Now see what's using the battery and if it's appropriate. Go from there.

Install Accubattery to track battery use history.

A well optimized Note should about 7-14%@hr SOT, less than 1%@hr with AOD in tap on mode at night.

After doing all this reevaluate if it's a weak battery or just excessive power usage.

*yeah I know you can't send any FB messages if the app isn't installed... ditch this malware. It's malware by design not coincidence. FB is a menace... learn or get burned.

This is my N10+, the N20U may use slightly more due to variable refresh rate and 5G but should be similar.

Battery aging process.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I figure a on heavily used Note that's fast charged the battery will last 1-2 years.

My last N10+ battery failed around the 1.5 year mark. I'll probably replace now at 1 year intervals.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marz01:
mda4 the problem is only getting worse, I'm from the 1.73 t-mobile version went to 1.93 and is now with swifb7.5 however

crashes every day (useful in conversations and your alarm clock to expire)

often with a soft reset after installation problems with startup touchflo3d and often error manila.exe below uberhoubt as he is already so far

hard reset is also often already halfway down.

In short ideal device to send back to my old mda3 again to use

But is it possible to go back to the original 1.73 Tmobile and where is it located?

Hi there,

A simple search through the few posts below yours would have lead to here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=435826

However, instead of just giving up, why not try to find out why your device is behaving as it is..?

With a little reading, I'm beginning to get used to the Diamond and it's litte needs. Mine's running very well on a slightly older ROM from one of the developers on here.

I hope this helps answer your needs..?

Cheers,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marz01:
thx for the answer,

I have tried my mda4 for a few months now but is getting every day worse and worse.

I have tried serveral roms now.

I don't know what else to do besides then sent the mda4 back.

I will try this rom to sent it back

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TechnicalJohn:
Well, it seems my daughter has been the unfortunate one of many that has been hit by her Pixel 3 being "bricked" for no apparent reason.

After a full afternoon of research, I now understand the state it's in and that it's sitting in EDL and won't cycle out of it. I'm a Linux guy, and can plainly see that lsusb is reporting it being 05c6:9008 in "QDL" mode. So I've got the QDL tool for Linux, I understand fastboot and adb, etc. HOWEVER, I'm rather foggy about how to acquire, or perhaps create, a "blankflash" for the Pixel 3. (Or maybe I'm just tired...) In any case, is there anyone here that might point me in the right direction of how to get, or even create, a blankflash for this phone?

So ANY pointers in the right direction on a blankflash for the Pixel 3 would be appreciated. Thanks all!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I believe this is the best thread for anyone with this issue to be reading. The issue is discussed and unfortunately, there is no resolution.

That said, I've never heard of a 'blank flash'. But, what we do know is that a device that is stuck in edl mode means u can't get to the normal recovery utilities like fastboot or adb. And because google won't release the 'programmer firehose' so that qfil can access the device in edl mode, there's really no way to 'flash' anything, blank or otherwise.

I wish I was wrong, but am quite sure this is the unfortunate situation, unless google releases the firehose.

(When u say 'QDL tool for linux', do u mean the bkerler edl python utilities? Unfortunately, they too will of course require the programmers firehose. If that's available somewhere, would luv to know about it).

cheers
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TechnicalJohn:
Hey, thanks for the input as well as the move of my post to a more appropriate forum. I felt like I had hit the end of the road, but was hopeful maybe there was an off-road path ;)

Here are a couple sources for my references...

I found this XDA post mentioning the EDL and QDL:

[GUIDE] unbrick and flash Official ROM in EDL on linux

I'm running Kubuntu 20.04, and you can install QDL using snap: https://snapcraft.io/qdl

The "blank flash" reference came from this guide for a Moto G7:

Hard Bricked My Moto G7 Plus after Downgrade: How to Fix

LOL, ironically the blankflash.zip is hosted here on XDA somewhere.

I'm in the process of evaluating "new to her" phones for her to replace this Pixel 3... but I'm still hoping to resurrect this thing, since the knowledge would be invaluable.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I certainly understand the desire to fix the device, I mean, there's nothing wrong with them, they work fine, normally.

But, even the first link you mention has the following pre-reqs: and it's the 3rd item listed that no one has (afaik). The patch xml isn't needed, the rawprogram xml can be created / modified from another source, but not the firehose file. It's specific to the device, and google, as said, won't release it. So just to clarify, I've used edl mode on numerous LG devices (as their firehose file is available), I've used both qfil and bkerler edl utilities (python based), and neither of them can access a device without the firehose file, it's just not possible.

Truly wish that if anyone has that file, pls let us know, because without it, these devices are bricks.

patch0.xml

rawprogram_unparse0.xml,

prog_firehose_ddr.elf (could have also a .mbn file extension, it's the same)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TechnicalJohn:
Yeah, I was just giving reference to what lead me to the awareness of the QDL and the fact that it's possible to flash these Qualcomm devices. I could see that I was missing a piece there, and now that you've pointed me in the direction of the other thread I see things a bit more clearly after a sleep.

All good info, and perhaps we'll get the needed piece at some point! Too bad we can't construct that file from a dump or something.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi6:
Bro I have found firehose file atleast for pixel 3 , can you please provide or tell how to create raw program.xml and patch0.xml .as you mentioned that they can be created.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Are you sure this is the correct Firehose then I can help you grab the raw program.xml using a specialised software.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
I found this on internet and I am 70% sure that these are pixel firehouse file . Also can you please tell me danger of flashing a wrong mbn file ( if you have time to explain)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
There is no danger because if it is not the correct firehose it will not be flashed.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
What about creating rawprogram and patch xml
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
It can be created if we have Firehose.

If we have firehose we can backup the current Firmware and get XML files.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
Can you expand on that, and just for you to know that my phone is bricked. How do I do all of that
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
Fire hose is that mbn file right?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Yes your phone should be able to connect in EDL mode which will show up as Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 under device manager.

Then you can use a tool called Unlock Tool to readback the firmware and xml files from the phone itself using the mbn firehose.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
I am sorry for being so dumb , can you please also tell me how to generate raw program by pixel stock rom. I haven't downloaded it but by the images on Google I don't see any option to create XML files.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Don't ever say that. Every one is learning something new here everyday.

I haven't tried to generate the xml yet and I would look up on YouTube to find a resource on how to do it.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
There isn't tutorial for pixels , there are lg phone and mi Phone tutorial which is are totally different than pixel. The stock rom that they are using aren't even img or zip files , they are kdz and ofp files.

No I'm not but I was busy to answer you back. I had to flash some phones.

I have a license for Unlock Tool software if you allow me for remote connection then I can test the firehose you have and also grab the xml files.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi6:
oh that would be so nice of you, I can give you remote connection , tell what do I need to do . Chrome remote desktop , anydesk or anything else
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
I use ultraviewer software for it but there is a problem right now. Although Unlock Tool is paid software but it also has a login limit I recently used it to flash a Redmi 9 Prime so I won't be able to login for next 5 hours.

Its 09:35 in the night at the moment in my country so probably by 01:35 I would be able to use it on your PC.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi6:
are you going to only generate xml files or unbrick the entire phone. I am asking this because I dont have the phone right now or atleast for 2-3 days , so for now only generating files can be done without phone. and since you are helping me is it out of humanity or is it paid service. just asking this question to check that we are on the same page.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
I don't take any money for doing this. And yes I need your phone to generate the XML files.

Please note that even if you are able to generate those files with just the firmware and the firehose is not correct there is no use of those XML files.

So we can try this when you have your phone.

I have one more doubt about mbn file. The pixel 3.zip have different type mbn files. My pixel3 is the Japanese variant with unlocked bootloader, and for unlocked phone there is a different folder as common. But there are still more options in folder as ROW, WILDCARD AND W_ONE . Can you tell which one is for my phone.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Please note that firehose is same for any given variant. Only Firehose does not have mbn extension but other files too have mbn extension.

Firehose name usually starts with prog......mbn for emmc based phones but please note its the manufacturer's choice what to name them.

QUICK UPDATE:- Turns out for pixel phone product.img is equivalent to gpt.bin. So I used it to create rawprogram and patch, on which I failed. I was able to create partition.xml but when I parsed partition.xml I got stomped by this. There is no error in the script itself, it just it is not able to obtain files cause it works in a different way for pixels I guess. I am blank now. What do I do next.Give me an idea or method.if you know.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
How come product.img is equal to pgpt.bin?

All Qualcomm phones are configured the same way by the SOC manufacturer.

As I said I can help you get the XML files.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
I think because product.img is related partitions.thay why and when I threw it in gptparser, it didn't give any errors.

I am sorry that I am asking for a lot and disturbing you in every way but could you please just tell me how to do it by myself or atleast tell me That only you can get the XML files. So that my curiosity become low.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
The fastboot firmware for Pixel phone does not have all partitions so it's not worth making XML files.

I'll still research on it a bit more and let you know.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
As I told you before, the method where I can just flash boot partition without rawprogram and patch files.

So is it actually possible to fix it. By just flashing the boot partition i because I myself bricked the phone by flashing wrong/currupted twrp image.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arham_qureshi66:
Bro, I know it's have been 1 month but would it be possible for you to remotely connect and help with my issue as you told you are willing to do. I haven't tried anything after that, My phone is in edl mode now tho. Are you free on 17 , I think I would be able to work with you in 17.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] retiredtab:
Your best bet to get this working is to study/copy the RIL/radio settings from a phone device that works using the msm8916 repos at

https://github.com/orgs/Galaxy-MSM8916/repositories

Look through that list and see which phone device has an active maintainer or is officially supported by LineageOS and then look at their settings for RIL/radio code.

You also need to look through your adb logcat for RIL/radio errors or messges to tell you what is wrong with your build. I have NO RIL/radio devices in my collection, only wifi devices.
