[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] killi1989:
Hey people, I've been using and reading this forum for a while now, but this is my first post, so please excuse me if I break any rules or make any mistakes.

The reason I post is because I often find myself confused. It is easy enough to look up aplications and such on the forums and download them, but then I start getting confused...

Different ROMS, Themes that I have no idea how to use, Manilla - what is it?, GSen?

As a complete novice, I find it very hard to understand whats going on around in the Theme, Apps + Software forum. The Wiki doesn't seem to explain much, or I am missing it.

I guess what I'm sayign is, maybe a noobs guide to Theme, Apps, Software, etc. should be created, I dont know...

I mean, I want to customise my diamond, It's obvious you can, but for the not so tech savvy people out there, it can be hard to find out where to start, how to start, or what I need to do anything.

Thanks for reading

If this is stupid, breaking rules or just uneeded dont hesitate to delete.

Thanks

Killi

[General Questions and Answers] rebeltechlabs:
We're planning to add glass-only cracked screen repair capability to our shop. We've got ~$20k to invest in this project, and we'd like to do it properly. What are some good resources to get started? How did you learn to do it? Most importantly, how long did it take to learn?

There're many youtube videos on the topic, but people's methods are inconsistent. Some repair screens in-frame, some take the whole phone apart. Some use freezers for curved screens, some swear by heat + wire.

At the moment, I'm trying to put together a list of machines/gear to get started
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA🤗

I hope you appreciate the difference between science and art.

Example; while modern medicine is based on science, effectively practicing medicine is an art.

You use what works best for each particular case based on your acquired wisdom learned while practicing medicine.

Knowledge plus practice equals wisdom (hopefully).

Hands on is the only way to learn a trade and it's tricks. Learn the assembly technologies and techniques. Use cheap or trash phone to practice on. As you progress if you're persistent eventually you will go from novice to skilled to expert. A novice or skilled practitioner can't do what someone at the expert level can. It takes experience to learn the material properties, signs, variables, techniques and to develop skillset to effectively execute the proper actions.

You have to learn which tools, then brand of tools fit each operation best for yourself. In time you will become quit particular about this if you make to the top. I go for tools with the best ergonomics and usability. The right tools become an extension of yourself, but first you need to have the depth of understanding and skillset to choose and use the tools effectively.

An expert has a whole bag of tricks that they have learned over the years, decades to use for the situations they encounter.

There may be more money in fulfillment work or contact assembly. You're own business is as good as it gets but it's hard at first.
[General Questions and Answers] rebeltechlabs:
Thanks, for the warm welcome, and for the insightful reply.

Of course it's only possible to learn these things by doing, but, from my experience, you can accelerate the process by having good guidance and quality learning materials. That's what I'm looking for myself and for my technicians.

Do you know of any good courses/classes that one could take to learn about display refurbishment?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Nothing takes the place of experience for doing precision assembly. Looking at Grey's Anatomy isn't the same as doing surgery, it's a beginning.

Some techniques work better than others depending on the situation. You need experience to decide which is best. You learn the feel for it only by doing.

I saw guides and vids of the Note 10+ battery replacement. They intimidated me. Then I watched someone actually do it and quickly realized I could do it better myself🤣

Of course that's not the end to my battery replacement learning curve, but it's a good start.

The biggest concern is breakage and then cosmetics. Doing it professionally means doing it right each time or at least most of the time.

Failures cost you more time and money. As for employees they will be one of or you're biggest headaches. Getting someone to do what you want, even the simplest of tasks can be challenging to say the leas🤣

To access most displays requires a partial/full teardown. This is challenging to do on many phones. You need adapt ESD protocols and get ESD mats, wristbands, hydrometer* and such to avoid damage to the displays and especially the mobos. Out of circuit they become much more susceptible to ESD damage. Many don't do this; not doing so is unprofessional and can get very expensive.

If you find white papers and good documentation on this please share it if you can. This fascinates me.

*Humidity control is essential in dissipating static electricity ie a minimum of 40-60%. I like to see about 47-53% A temp controlled heat pot/fan works well to raise it.
[General Questions and Answers] mobnoob:
I guess you live in America, it's very important for any new shop to understand what is the chance to survive in the first 1-2 year of operations so be ready to invest money even if you don't see that money coming back.

Dealing with mobile phones it's somewhat like dealing with computers, a customer's phone has a broken screen but the phone also doesn't start up so you need to know a bit more than just replacing screens.

Dealing with Apple phones will be more complicated due to the distributor's (in fact Apple don't make phones) tricks like the latest one secret codes stored in the CPU that must match with the replaced part's embed code.

You might want to make a partnership with a specific brand so that you can get better support and deals and even workshop manuals but there are always pro and con because they will want to be the only brand in your shop.

Regarding courses, it depends on where you're (on site courses) and there are online courses like those from Udemy which is a popular site: How to repair mobile cell phones

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
So, I downgraded my P40 Pro from the latest version to EMUI 10.1.0.121 to install Google Apps. Now I can't update the phone back to EMUI 11 using Config>System Update. I don't know that much about this stuff.

My computer is not recognizing my P40 Pro, it only charges the phone. Super Fast Charging is working.

My model is ELX-NX9 (ELX-N29 in phone's box). I used Hisuite and proxy to downgrade. Everything is working in the phone. I only did one thing that I guess I'm not proud of. I changed my region from C605 to C452 (I guess that's it. It's the European version, and I live in south America). I only did this because I couldn't find a C605 ROM in the website I used. Actually there was one with version 10.1.0.180 or something, and it couldn't install Google Apps.

Can anyone give me some light about it? I want to know if I can get it all working, now the only thing bothering me is the updates and the USB. And the "Custom Version" in the phone info that reads "CUSTC605D1"
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] badmania98:
Wow. Nice! It is not so easy to repair that. Maybe you will need a NM card if your phone doesn't recognize OTG.

You need a DLOAD firmware (ELS-N04_10.1.0.123(C605)_[ELS-N04_hw_la_R2])

(ELS-N29 10.1.0.123(C605))

and write it.

Is your phone N04?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
When I try to update through power button + volume up and erecovery it gives me this message "getting package info failed"
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
So me changing my region won't affect anything? Like, I have a C605 phone and now my software is C432, and in info page on my phone it says "CUSTC605"
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] badmania98:
I changed my message. Read again. In current version and cust you will not have:

- updates

- fast charge

- USB connection to computer
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
It's ELS-N29 (ELS-NX9) C605
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] badmania98:

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
Oh I don't have one of those adapters unfortunately. I will have to buy an otg memory.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] badmania98:
Better buy a NM card (64GB).
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sonarproof:
Can I buy a USB to USB C adapter to use a flashdrive?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] badmania98:
You can. But it is possible to not be recognized. NM card is working 100%.

Hello Everyone,

Before you guys get mad at me, I know there are a lot of threads on how to relock the bootloader, unroot the phone, and factory reset. But I got confused with most of it since there is a lot of different information out there, and most of them are for OOS 10.

So here's my case:

- I have stock OOS 11.0.5.1 rooted with Magisk and bootloader unlocked; HD1907 device.

- I basically want to remove the root, lock the bootloader, and wipe/format my phone clean (just like a brand new phone would be).

- How do I do it without getting my phone bricked??

Someone, please point me in the correct direction on what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] ligerblitz:
Yesterday I noticed an issue with my BS3. Every time I try to transfer files to and from the device, it somehow just stops before its completed, and the app (Eg, Google Photos, ShareMe, Google Drive) just closes. If I try to transfer using different USB cables via PC, it seems like the internal storage disconnects and the file transfer stops. Its as if internal storage disappears for a second and then comes back. I sent in a bug report using the bug reporter, however i had to manually restart the upload of some logs it was asking for since it would just stop during the transfer.

I factory reset the device and still get the same problem. I'm on JOYUI 12.5, KLEN2108271OS00MR0.

Is this most likely a hardware problem?
[Moto E (2020)] JimboRingo:
I'm learning about A/B slots, and i have always seen it said that the recovery partitions were removed. Ex: "But the A/B approach gets rid of the separate recovery partition and integrates it into the boot partition."

OrangeFox gave me a warning that the phone has A/B slots but also recovery partitions.

I checked and can confirm:

ginna:/ # ls -la /dev/block/by-name/recovery*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 1970-07-23 01:57 /dev/block/by-name/recovery_a -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p45

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 1970-07-23 01:57 /dev/block/by-name/recovery_b -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p46

1) How common is this?

2) In this case i guess it means the XT2052 cant lose it's recovery when flashing a boot image and boot doesn't need to be patched with a recovery beforehand, correct?

3) Anything else should i be aware of when reading discussions about devices without separate recovery partitions? Like some common steps that should NOT be done in my situation?
