[Fairphone 4] N00B1OOO:
Hello together,

today i tried to install /e/ OS on my new FP4.

I did everything like in the official description:

> ## Unlocking the bootloader

>

> 1. Boot the device

> 2. Enable and connect Wifi

> 3. Enable Developer options

> 4. From developer options, enable OEM unlock

> * Get the unlock code from [this site](https://www.fairphone.com/en/bootloader-unlocking-code-for-fairphone-3/) and enter it

> 5. Reboot on fastboot by running the command in the PC console `adb reboot bootloader`

>

> 6.*Tip:** All the console commands are run on an adb enabled PC and in the `adb` console.

>

> 7. Ask for unlock with `fastboot flashing unlock`

> 8. Approve with <kbd>volume +</kbd> then <kbd>power</kbd>

> * The device proceed with a factory reset, and automatically reboots

At 8 i maybe made a mistake, when you are in the fastboot mode, you can choose different options, i choosed something like FFBM or something like this. Then the device restarted and since that it always shows the "blue dots" like in the beginning but nothing more happens, since hours.

I turned it off and on again, without success.

I can not load the fastboot again via ADB, because the device is not recognized.

If i try to use the volumeUP or VolumeDOWN at the startup, nothing happens and it restarts again after a few seconds.

So there is no way for me to enter the fastboot mode again.

So I have two questions to you, lovely community.

One is, can anybody help me? 🙂

Second, can somebody tell me how the different options are called in the fastboot mode, so i can google it and do more research.

THANKS a lot and sorry for my english :slight_sm

Hi,

Are you able to launch the stock rom or are u stuck on bootloop or bootloader page ?

If you can launch the stock rom, enable oem, debugging and unlock bootloader in developper options.

Then connect phone to pc with the cable and type adb devices

see if the phone is recopgnized.

Then adb reboot bootloader and do all steps of the official guide.

If you use Windows I suggest you to put all file to your adb folder, type CD /path/to/folder/

And copy paste all commands at once, this will avoid error of mishandling during fastboot operations.

If you stuck on a "waiting for phone" when you are in fastboot mode, check you driver, or test with a linux machine or see Hulk's solution here

If you stuck on a bootloop just use the key combo to enter bootloader. check on the bootloader is everything is ok (unlock) if not redone steps to unlock bootloader, then flash recovery from /e/ os folder fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then enter in recovery use the combo key to have the menu choice between bootloader, recovery... then enter recovery and wipe data...

Then restart the official guide of /e/ os.

You may ask on /e/ os forum too many much more Fairphone user are there and can help you (link i gave you above).
[Fairphone 4] N00B1OOO:
Hello,

thanks for your reply.

I posted the same comment at the /E/ OS Forum as well.

I Can not load the stock rom, there are only this blue dots circling around for hours:

View attachment 5529785

I can not enter anything else, using ADB is not possible because the device is not recognized and the combination of volumeUP and power or volumeDOWN and power only restarts the device.

Do you have a FP4 and you maybe can tell me which options in the top of the fastboot menu you can choose?

Something like reboot and so on.

I will try the solution in your link in a few hours when i have more time.

Thanks a lot and BR

Bootloader menu options are "start / restart bootloader / recovery mode / power off / boot in ffbm / boot to qmmi"

I don't understand your problem if your bootloader is unlock you must have accesss to bootloader.

Are you sure you didn't relock bootloader before checking the rom is correctly installed ?

Contact /e/ support to have the precise combo key to enter bootloader. sometimes it change from phone to phone.

Does your computer works well with adb and fastboot before ? did you already flash rom ? Maybe a driver is missing or adb/fastboot is not on the last version. You may try with a linux pc to aovid those problem.

From /e/ Os website : https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/install

How to Boot into bootloader mode

This section will be relevant later throughout the guide, when you need to reboot into bootloader mode.

Remove any USB-C cable and turn off your Fairphone 4

Tip: If you cannot turn your device off, remove the battery for about 5 seconds, then put it back in.

Press and hold the Volume Down button.

Insert a USB-C cable connected to the power (can either be a power outlet or a computer).

Release the Volume Down button as soon you boot into bootloader mode

For more details on how to erase the data on your FP4 refer this guide

I just try this and works great : power off the phone (if you can't just remove battery as said), press vol down and plug the usb cable

My phone has the bootloader locked and flashing locked and it works. try this
[Fairphone 4] N00B1OOO:
You are my hero. :cowboy:

I dont know how many times i read that but i was to stupid to do that correctly.

Now i tried it again and it worked well!

Thanks a lot!

Problem solved.

Just for other idiots like me, i choosed the option boot into ffbm into the bootloader menu, this was my mistake.

Hi I used adbappcontroll and uninstalled some system apps now I'm enjoying my time looking at Samsung logo

I have usb debugging enabled but it is not set to always remember this device aaaaaaand i don't have bootloader unlocked my phone is not rooted either

my device is sm-a505f/ds and it was updated to the latest software and I'm looking for a way to either a) ideally use the phone normally

or b) backing up as much data as possible

system / mount seems to have no effect and update from adb can only sideload (idk much about last one)

does anybody know where i can get the memory aid to speed up my phone?
[Wing, P4350 General] live4nothing:
a cooked rom is the one of the best memory boost out here :D
[Wing, P4350 General] kareeem:
Alternatively, you can use programs such as Sktools or Memmaid to free up RAM.

Hey there amazing XDA community!

De we have a section for components troubleshooting? I guess this is the closest thing...

I've recently expanded my work-in-progress machine with some extra Corsair RGB candy. I really enjoy using the iCUE software.

Next to all the Corsair glory I also have some RGB features on my ASRock B550 Steel Legend motherboard. Thing is, the ASRock polychrome sync software, to control the RGB, is absolute garbage. And the worst thing it does is trying to control the RAM's RGB.

So when iCUE is running some smooth animations and Polychrome is started, the Dominator sticks freeze up. Closing the ASRock software and restarting iCUE doesn't help, it remains frozen until reboot. Can these tools compliment each other or will I just have to avoid using ASRock's pain in the bum?

Thanks for reading!

[Battlestations] strongst:
I'm using just MSI Mystic light software so the MSI Mainboard controls 6 ARGB Fans, the Enermax Liqmax III and two ARGB led Strips. I would avoid mixed software to control light.

Are you using or mixing ARGB and RGB together or which one?
[Battlestations] Timmmmaaahh!:
It's all RGB connected via Corsair's iCUE Commander CORE. So USB interface on the mobo, no (A)RGB directly connected. There are two zones on the mobo that light up, which can be controlled with polychrome sync. The main goal is having all the Corsair glory play a looped sequence defined in iCUE and have the mobo lighting react to music. The thing is that this requires polychrome to run in the background but when it's running, it's also messing up my RAM's lighting.

I haven't had the time to further experiment but I'm hoping to yield some results with OpenRGB. Any other good similar software out there?
[Battlestations] strongst:
Didn't try open software but this looks promising 👍

Edit: Tested OpenRGB and it works, but since I have ARGB devices connected to both ARGB headers of the mainboard, I cannot take full advantage of it cause it's not supported by the tool:confused:
[Battlestations] Timmmmaaahh!:
OpenRGB looks like a silly Win98 applet compared to SignalRGB, which is surely checking a lot of boxes for me! It can't integrate the mobo RGB into the all the fancy effects it offers (ASRock's fault) but at least it allows me to control the animation and colours with it. For a currently unknown reason SignalRGB also refuses to detect the RAM's RGB so I emailed them about that. Good thing here is that it doesn't freeze it and just leaves the hardware animation I programmed with iCUE playing.

SignalRGB is free for the main part but I'm pretty sure I'll get pro to make it sync animations with games and what's happening on screen. Let's see what they say about the RAM first.
[Battlestations] Timmmmaaahh!:
Ugh.. Of course! I just needed to run the program as admin once! 🤦‍♂️It detected them now and animation looks great.

Got a very quick reply from their support so definitely getting the upgrade.
[Battlestations] Beanycory:
So how did you get icue to work with Asrock mobo, did you use the free signal rgb software?

What program did you run as admin?

I have 6 corsair QL120 fans, 2 rgb corsair dominator ram sticks and the corsair icue H100 elite capellix xt cooler, but thier playing up with just icue installed on the Asrock H410 mobo? The rgb lights run for a while then go off but fans still spin. So do I need to run the signalrgb program as admin to get control of my rgbs, ram and cooler.

Cheers.
[Battlestations] Timmmmaaahh!:
The ASRock lights on the mobo are now pretty solidly supported by SignalRGB but I've had the most horrific experience with Corsair customer support, that I'm never getting anything from that brand again. Their entire ecosystem is built on cheap RGB galore at a premium price. I might detail this in a separate thread later. My only advice is to stay away from Corsair. Try the SignalRGB software and drop any issues in their Discord or email, they have great support.
[Battlestations] Beanycory:
Great..lol... just bought 6 QL120'S

As I'm replacing the Stock AIO fans with 2, 3 in the front and 1 back exhaust fan.

Never knew icue wouldn't work with Asrock H410M mobo.... I'll install SIGNAL RGB and see if that works.

If not, then I'll invest in a Asus motherboard and download crate to get icue working...

Cheers for the reply. 👍🏼💪
[Battlestations] Timmmmaaahh!:
lol, don't worry, I have one of those and that one played the nicest of all Corsair products I have. Mainly their AIO cooling with the LCD upgrade is hell.

I think I misunderstood. Are you saying you're having issues controlling Corsair products with their own iCue software on your mobo? Because that should definitely work! Are you using a Corsair Commander PRO or other RGB controller?
[Battlestations] Beanycory:
Yes, I have a Asrock H410 M mobo, they have there own Rgb... poly.... whatever...lol.

Using the commander core that came with the AIO, so have 6 fans connected to that.
[Battlestations] Lahiru Denilson:
The Corsair Dominator RAM RGB is freezing when Polychrome starts. Try updating both software to the latest versions or contact Corsair support for help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MalaRhynn:
Just had a refurbished Note 9 delivered and it boots up on the "An error occurred while updating the device software" screen. Worse, booting it into Download Mode and selecting yes (vol up) sends it to the same screen. Smart Switch also can't recognize the device when plugged in. Device is recognized by my computer. Any advice on how to fix this phone, or should I just send it back?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
Send it back. You could flash the firmware with Odin but if I received a device that did that even though I could flash the firmware I would send it back.

IT says an Error Has occured while updating the device sofatware and I can't get out of it. I hold power and vol down button and just quick reboots back into the same screen even when conntected to laptop.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Thwwack:
Hey Folks

I'm wondering if anyone knows which audio chipsets are on the v30 and G7? I have both, and these phones sound very different. They were released pretty close to each other, so I was assuming they'd be the same chipset, but it doesn't sound like that'd be the case.. Wondering if anyone knows?

If the sound differences are down to how the software manages the chipsets, I'll look at hacking the g7 firmware in some way... Possible? Anyone have experience doing this? Or is it on the hardware side the tuning is done?

Thanks for reading!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Thwwack:
I can confirm that all lg g and v series phones that mention Quad DAC have the same chip. So it's down to the tuning. Apparently LG did the tuning for the g7 in-house.

So... Anyone know if it's possible to push the tuning of an android sound card to another device? Maybe this is done in the drivers... I'll post any results of my searching incase others are looking to do this.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Thwwack:
looks like that first statement wasn't quite true. there seems to be conflicting information out there about who did the g7 tuning. from what I hear it could have been different in different regions..

LG's Quad DAC: Everything you need to know

LG's smartphones were best known for their headphone jacks, thanks to the Quad DAC feature that set them apart from most of the competition.

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

​

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your ENTER-PHONE-NAME, or coming from another ROM: <--THESE MAY NEED UPDATING FOR YOUR PARTICULAR DEVICE; BE THOROUGH IN INSTRUCTIONS-->

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (Los recovery or TWRP)

Based on Lineage OS, be sure to be on the required firmware version

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & format data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

8) Flash gapps

9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES

Same as Lineage OS

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running the included kernel

- have installed any mods such as Xposed!

- have modified system files

I wont update this rom since neither the rom soure code nor device code will change

IMPORTANT:

This ROM is for EXYNOS BASED S5 MINIs ONLY

e.g. G800F, G800Y, G800M

I also havent applied all patches, so errors can occur
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peter_Petersen:
Thank you for update this awesome rom for the S5 mini!!

I installed microG (latest Version) via Magisk and after that i try to flash the 'NanoDroid-patcher' to activate signature spoofing via TWRP. The flash process aborts with the message that signature spoofing is already installed. Reboot. I can't activate the 'System spoofs signature' in microG!

Any ideas what can i do?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
well done my friend
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
What is the difference to the other 7.1.2 Los based? What does relaoded mean?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
what do you do when your gun is empty ? Reload it :D , so it means , it was loaded before and now reloaded ..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
So, it is exactly the same? No difference? Just put on the internet a second time?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
No I don't think so , these are developers not noobs like us lol , they will always improve something :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Well in this case "reloaded" means, that the rom has been rebased completely on lineage so that all the security patches are updated. For you it means you have the June 2021 security patch instead of July 2018 (if there was a build with the latest official source).

Edit:

Just looked it up, the other crdroid build was updated in August 2017, so that is likely also the builds security patch.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] j@chung:
right now Im using in my wing a ratio of 03.12.90. I saw an update threat to increase the ratio to 03.18.90. I loke to upgrade my phone whenever I can but what id the ratio for??? is it really worth upgrading it??
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
It's the radio, not ratio. It controls the part of the phone that sends a signal to your provider. Some radios give you a better, stronger signal. Some are worse. Newer isn't always better. If it works the way it is now, keep the one you have.

But, this is not a Development discussion. Please post this under "Herald" next time.

Thank you
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] j@chung:
ohh sorry my bad. Im going to try the new one and see how it works for me. if Im not happy I can always change it back right?

TIA

Yes, you can change to any radio you wish.

yes, Android 7, but quite recent security patch
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
Are you planning to provide further builds with recent security patches? Else I will eventually do it myself or just try out Ubuntu Touch, that get's updated frequently.

EDIT: Just realised, that this ROM includes latest security patches by google, so I only see the options of using crDroid 11, which forces you to use face unlock, or switch to Ubuntu Touch
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SirRGB:
The rom isnt getting any more updates, so I cant update...

In addition no one forces you to use face unlock, even on crdroid A11.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
My thought was, that I could simply merge google security patches into ROMs source code, but unfortunately google does not maintain android 7.1.2 branch of aosp anymore. That's what I checked yesterday.

And what I am referring to in crDroid 11, is that, after installation and flashing of openGapps pico, you get three choices of combinations of unlocking methods. You can choose between: "Pattern + Face Unlock", "PIN+ Face Unlock" and "Password + Face Unlock". I just found out today, that this can be worked around by setting an unlock method before installation of opengapps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SirRGB:
Well as for Android 7: one can still use the lineage patches for upstreaming. They are incomplete and thus the security patch level wont be updated, but most patches are backported from newer versions. If you want you can take a look on their gerrit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmota92:
Hello friends (sorry for my bad english), I have average knowledge on android and linux, but I consider myself a noob tough; well the thing is I already know how to manipulate zram swap in almost any situation, but I have found in a tablet and a phone I own, the system creates a ZRAM with a fixed value at boot, and whenever I try to recreate ZRAM with any given value, it just gets to the fixed size I said earlier. The thing is: how can I change this value? I have already tried every way I know but no success, these are the only phone and tablet I own where I can't change the ZRAM size. Is there any hidden or special configuration or script or maybe a driver that states that size and make it impossible to modify? if so, what do I need to modify and how?

thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuy19312:
I think Kernel Adiutor can do that, but it's not permanent, it will last until you uninstall it or factory reset, it has an option to ser ZRAM size and to disable it on boot but you need to be root to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmota92:
thanks for the fast reply, I tried with kernel adiutor too, but the ZRAM size stays the same, to be clear, I don't want to disable ZRAM, that is completely achievable, I can swapoff and reset the ZRAM without any problem, the thing is when I try to recreate ZRAM with whatever size, it just creates the ZRAM with the size it had before, say the zram is 100MB, but I want it to be 200MB, I send the command to give the zram the 200MB size after resetting, but it just get the 100MB size, but IDK if in that special devices the value is hardcoded.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuy19312:
Are you using an Stock Rom or an Custom Rom? on stock roms, this is hard or even impossible to achieve, in custom roms, generally you have less restrictions, try to use an custom rom or an different rom to check if this works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmota92:
I just tried right now with the latest version of MTweaks on the tablet and miraculously the ZRAM size changed to the size I wanted, it has the stock ROM by the way; and the phone has a custom ROM, but I still can't manage to change the ZRAM size on the phone and it has android 4.4 so new versions of apps are no longer compatible with it, I already asked for help to the ROM developer but no answer. Any advice?
