[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] didou691:
Hello community,

I regulary use some custom or stock firmware for my Samasung phones for several years (since My first Galaxy S1 !)

I love refurbirsh old phones withh new relases of android when operators and Samsung stop maintenance. I Limit my experimentation to last stock roms from Sammobile or CyanogeneMod/LineageOS wihth open Gapps.

Last days it was my galaxy S7's turn, to give it to my daughter : New battery,new back cover and new ROM.

My goal was to install Android 9/lineageOS 16 herolte version from operator stock rom.

First try : install TWRP with adb and linux heimdall. Tricky part was to reboot in recovery mode before it is overwritten by stock rom.

Not so easy without battery removal. Result, I ended in boot loop because of crypted data partition. First mistake.

2nd try : Format system and data via TWRP install lieageos zip and nano Gapps. Worked OK.

BUT, impossible to power off the phone. Only reboot was possible even power off with TWRP.

Not happy with this.

3rd try : reinstall last stock Firmware from sammobile via Odin. Process successfull reboot OK. Minimal configuration to check all is working as expected.

4th try : Install TWRP via Odin. Process Successfull but haven't succeed to get Recovery mode befor normal boot.

Then things became bad : After boot to welcome screen (with the hour and notifications), phone became completly stuck. No touchscreen or button responsive.

I forced reboot with volume down + power.

And I fell into the green screen of death with the error message "emergency recover".

Since then I can still boot in download mode and Odin detect the phone correctly, but impossible to write anything back in the phone.

after clicking start button, Odin failed with timeout either at the begining, or at system.img from stock rom.

I have tried others USB cables, Other releases of Odin, others stock roms.

I although tried repart with PIT file, even "erase all" option. But Nothing else than timeouts, and reboots in green screen of death.

I'm afraid internal memory has been definitiveley corrupted.

I ended up with reopen the phone and remove battery to keep it safe.

Before I seek for another motherboard, I ask here if there is something else to try.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Teddy Lo:
Yes

1. Reinstall drivers

2. Try new Odin version

3. flash latest available stock firmware for your region.

4. Try to Run Odin with Administrator rights

5. Flash 4 file firmware

6. Flash one by one file firmware

7. Extract boot, kernel and recovery files from stock firmware and flash one by one, then do full firmware flash...

Hi thank you for suggestions. I have prepared flash with heimdall by untar unlzm4 the imgs. But something went wrong maybe by unplug the battery. The phone never woke up. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Teddy Lo:
Use multimater and check battery voltage it must be minimum 3.8v to boot up.... Since you messed up your bootloader you wont be able to charge your phone most likely. So you need then or buy new battery or charge manually direct...

Here is example:

Red wire is +

Black Wire is -

on your battery

See picture where is + and where -

Once you are Successfully charge your battery, put your phone into the Download mode Vol+ / Home /Power button, etc...

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] didou691:
Hi, I'm back with some more news. I've tried th above solution, Test battery with multimeter showed me 1V. I then tried to charge the battery. Tricky part was to stick the wire on such small pins. Anyway It sort of worked as I could measure 3.8V after charging

But bad luck, the phone still doesn't want to power up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Teddy Lo:
Make sure that the power button, and volume buttons has good connection, also check charging port if it is good connected and clean all dirt inside usb port.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zzz2002:
My take on the battery would be buy a "new" one.

From past experience any fiddling with the contacts and "plugs" on the battery or else where is a very dodgy proposition. My suggestion is (as above) buy a new battery, the very low voltage (1V) makes me think that the battery is shot.

Good luck

Hi guys.

So many of you have requested the original Diamond gridded wallpaper before that I decided to copy it from my wife’s Diamond. Here it is in 240 – 320 (Kaiser)

The file is in .png format, so you won’t see the grid in normal (pc) viewing. Also, the image is about 5% darker than displayed on the Diamond…never the less…it looks great.

For Manilla 2D users – disable TouchFLO, coppy the file to the Main Windows folder, overwrite, start touchFLO again, and the default black gridded Diamond wallpaper or “background” should be seen.

…Or, use the file in any way that you want.

DUPLICATE THREAD.
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Hello all,

I searched a lot in the forum, but don't find anything on the subject.

I have a Dasaita PX6 max10 (Android10) head unit with Hal9K installed and also Magisk (with root access).

From the playstore I downloaded and installed the app iGo Navigation. igo Navigation

In addition, the Europe map package purchased.

Since the manufacturer may not activate the speedcams (legal situation) in germany, I now wanted to manually add the appropriate files in the folder "speedcams" (/content/speedcams/).

No matter where I search with the root explorer, I can't find the folder "content".

Now I really hope that someone can tell me where I can find this (possibly hidden) folder.

greetings

If I am in the wrong thread, please move accordingly.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Hello , folder is not copied properly, download all content from https://www.mygpsmaps.com/ or other free giving sites from internet and copy them on USB and transfwer to head unit into folder LOCAL(root) memory of device/iGo/

NOTE: find only the content for your version of iGo (by version of app), other stuff will not work and app won't recognize.

Fingers crossed ....
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Hi,

thanks a lot for your feedback.

the iGo is loaded directly from playstore and the maps directly in the app from the store. The navigation works flawlessly. So the data should be already on the system. Only where do I look?

I can not find the folder /iGO/ anywhere. Neither in the internal memory, nor in GPS or in the separate SD card.

Enclosed are a few pictures for better understanding

[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
You must copy that folder into this main directory of iGo, all files and folders of iGo must be copied from data card/sd card to main internal memory and start iGo from there
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

I downloaded the APK directly from the playstore and found the various directories in the unit (screenshots above). I had no control over where and how to install.

Understood! I have to get the folder "content" along with all sub folders and then just copy it to the root directory of the internal memory card. That would be either "memory (Speicher)" or "GPS", right?

But how does iGo know that it should then access that exact folder when the "content" folder was not there before and navigation still works.

Sorry, but I'm still new to the Android world and have a lot to learn.

Would be great if you can help me. Possibly using the screenshots I posted.

Thanks a lot
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Do you have ability to transfer files between internal memory and usb sd cards? If so just copy all the files downloaded from a PC to usb and then in machines internal memory at /root(main folder where music files, android, DCIM ... are).

If you do not have ability for transfering, download from google playstore software for transfering files like total commander etc.

P.S. I see that you have option to transfer but you have (see pic nb. 2 and 5) SD CARD that says "GPS" , while inside this folder, copy (long press folder that you are coping and release and it will render some commands like copy cut delete etc.) and transfer all content from that SD CARD to internal memory (make folder iGo and transfer to that folder). Then install iGo program (apk file) to run from insternal memory not from SD CARD (GPS) - remove that SD card from card slot in order to run iGo from internal memory folder that you made . Transfer also all files and files from "content" that you looking for (download from internet what is missing).

Your version of iGo is PRIMO (ver. 8 of iGO) if I understand correctly?
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
WOW 🤩

thank you very much for the detailed instructions. That helps me further.

I will try and copy accordingly. For this I need some rest and time.

I will report when everything is done.

Many thanks 👍
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Have find out the Version which is installed.

[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Does it work now well ?
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Works very well. I use iGo and in the background runs the German version of speedcams (blitzer.de pro).

The reason I asked is, that I would like to use the speedcams in iGo. But this will probably only work if I put the corresponding speedcam files in the right order.

And this is my problem. I have no structure as it is described in all other post (\igo\content\speedcam\). You can see in the screenshots that I had posted.

I actually only need to know where exactly I have to insert these three files for the speedcams, so that they are addressed by igo and the cams are displayed in the map.

btw: I have files both in the internal memory and in the folder "gps". I am still going crazy 🙈
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Dude, I said earlier to remove SD CARD out and to run from internal memory once copied on internal memory. Folders for content (folder maps, speedcams, 3d buildings, etc. goes inside copied folder) must be on :

internal memory main-root folder/iGo/Speedcams/- inside this folder must be speedcam files only !

For building/ inside must be Buildings files etc. (or else iGo app will not recognize any once started)

Will take photo of my own folder iGo, also got some maps for various countries dated till end 2020
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
See this video on how iGo folder must look like, and then when all copied properly run iGo app (not from SD CARD but from internal memory - from that folder created iGo)...

Good luck!

(wait for video link, I'm still uploading...)

Ok, for some reaason upload failed, but you can download video from Google disk ...

Download and watch video.
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Hi, yup, I got it.

However, the whole system was set up when the SD card "GPS" was already in it. Now I can not tell you whether the system works properly without this card. I have to test it.

If so, I can uninstall iGo, copy the folder "igo" and all contents into the root directory, incl the APK and then run it.

I need to check once if the unit works without the GPS card.
[Android Head-Units] Vespisti:
Thanks for your video. I`ll watch it and do it as in the video. (y)

[Android Head-Units] EdmundZed:
Hi, I found this thread... Can I use this iGO version on my Motorola G60 phone?

My old GSM died and so far I did not manage to get any iGO version working on my new one.

Like to have the nextgen version since I finally found out how that works

BTW I the past me too installed a original "iGO" form the play store on a tablet and I couldn't find

the usual folder structure either, I can't remember if I had external memory installed or not but I

am pretty sure ( not entire though ) that I would have checked if some parts went on that external memory.
[Android Head-Units] EdmundZed:
@ eltonrodriguesti I installed your version on my Moto G60, had to turn off internet connection because "play protect" kicked in.

During install there was message " downloading" ??? I restarted my GSM

and it seemed to be installed anyway. When I try to run it, I get loading ... and it just stops. after that I have a message via google play protect "uninstall harmfull app"
[Android Head-Units] eltonrodriguesti:
The apk I posted is for car multimedia, you will really have to disable play protect or allow the app to work.
[Android Head-Units] EdmundZed:
I've seen it is for car multimed but I don't know if that is different from GSM's.

Don't know about that play protect either, never saw that on my phones and not on a recent

Samsung S9, iGO installed and worked just like that.

Now, nothing but trouble, play protect during install, I tried to disable internet access after that it installed. It still won't run, not sure if that is due to that play protect or something else.

BTW How do I start a new thread here? I can reply and I can start a conversation but I don't see anything how to start a new thread or ask a new question.
[Android Head-Units] EdmundZed:
Update

Play protect is off now, but igo doesn't run.

It just stops during starting. Is there a log file somewhere in android phones?
[Android Head-Units] zozoek:
Anton. The android iGO that can be downloaded for free from the PlayStore is iGO Primo Nextgen 5.0 (currently).

Vespisti explained the WinCE based iGO folders while you (and I) have android. This is different in that you simply need to copy the desired map - building - poi - speedcam files into the appropriate folders of the file structure you have taken (android/com.nng .... igoworld/files/privdocs/InappShop/Mount/Map). iGO, when you need to "reach for it", simply recognizes that it is there and uses it. The iGO online store maps have the extension .fbl and there is also a .fbl.md5 verification file. From another source, the same files run on long names with "year" and "q" numbering - without the .fbl.md5 control file.

The licenses are also copied a few levels higher. The photos are in reverse order. I will test the operation in the next few days. It seems to be working in advance.

Anton. Az android iGO, amit a PlayStore oldalról ingyenesen le lehet tölteni az egy iGO Primo Nextgen 5.0 (jelenleg).

A Vespisti a WinCE alapú iGO mappáit magyarázta, miközben neked (és nekem is) androidunk van. Ez annyiból más, hogy az általad lefotózott fájlszerkezet (android/com.nng .... igoworld/files/privdocs/InappShop/Mount/Map) megfelelő mappáiba egyszerűen be kell másolni a kívánt térkép - builnding - poi - speedcam fájlokat. Az iGO, amikor "hozzá kell nyúlni", akkor egyszerűen felismeri, hogy ott van és használatba veszi azokat. Az iGO webáruházas térképek .fbl kiterjesztésűek és van mellettük egy .fbl.md5 ellenőrző fájl is. Más forrásból hosszú neveken "év" és "q" számozáson futnak ugyanezek a fájlok - .fbl.md5 ellenőrző fájl nélkül. A licenszek néhány szinttel feljebb vannak szintén bemásolva. A fotók visszafelé vannak sorrendben. Most tesztelem a napokban a működést. Előzetesen már működőképesnek látszik.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
... and update maps and speedcams as they are obsolete by 2021, everything is changed since files are from 2021

I used android version of IGO 8.1 WORLD not PRIMO and downloaded content files only (from GPSmaps.us) and put them on folder in internal memory (IGO folder- must be created prior to install IGO and then inside copied content) and it works well. Then only thing to do afterwards is that you need to deactivate Google play protect as it sees IGO as false/potential unwanted app and keep reporting it unsafe and suggest to uninstall it.

I use this IGO for several years now.

Now considering / testing Waze as I have new head unit with active 5G internet that is always online, which means it is connected to a server and Waze collects new maps and content as you go ! And updates content regularly - for ie. speedcams.

But sadly, Waze has not evoled yet to full GPS software,it lacks many things that IGO is having.

I don't know a lot about bricks in general but i think you are supposed to format data after you flash the recovery because that's what i did after installing arrow os but i don't know how would that cause a hard brick.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
PE a12 rom is busted that's why that thread is closed.

Your device is in EDL mode. Contact authorized users to unbrick your phone. Will cost you around $25-$30
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jylee1997123:
The problem is I have another exact device which is running the latest version of PE fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
Yeah i know. your device got bricked because it got updated via the OTA and the pixel firmware got flashed on your device that why your device is in EDL mode.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jylee1997123:
I think there is some confusion here.

Are you referring to the first hard brick? No OTA update is performed because it is running PEX which does not support OTA updates.

If you are referring to the second hard brick, the phone is never in PE firmware at all. The moment I tried to flash PE rom, the phone got hard bricked with these steps. ( enable USB debugging > adb reboot bootloader > fastboot flash boot PE_recovery.img > adb sideload PE.zip > Reboot )

2 Devices

1) My personal device (POCO F3 Alioth) - Working fine with current latest stable PE

2) Her device (POCO F3 Alioth) - HardBricked, EDL when flashing with these steps ( enable USB debugging > adb reboot bootloader > fastboot flash boot PE_recovery.img > adb sideload PE.zip > Reboot )

dont use pixel extended ive too had motherboard bricking issues with it pixel experience works perfectly for me with no issues
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jylee1997123:
That is what I thought initially as well. However, PE disappointed me as well with the 2nd hard brick. Did I miss any step that caused this? Or this is PE related?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] febry_valdy:
Try flashing aospa.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zainullahk1234:
hmm i dunno then pe works perfectly on my x3 pro

are you sure your using the correct firmware?

try flashing miui firmware over it and booting (cause mabye the oss vendor is the issue)

or just sell your f3 and get the f4 once it comes out (looks to have snapdragon 8 gen 1!)

I think most stable Aosp rom for poco f3 is Arrow Os don't use PE again
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
You definitely haven't tried PPUI

dont mention that buggy mess
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bogdanel141:
i tried installing this instead of arrow os and i couldn't even boot into it it would just go back to miui 🙄
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
I have tried all the A12 roms including syberia and arrow and by far this is the best rom. The maintainer of the rom is dev himself and very active and responsive on the telegram grp.

Well, thank you all for the suggestion. But I am not trying to find a rom that suits me or has fewer bugs. I am trying to figure out what goes wrong during my installation or if I missed something.

Is PE really that bad? I have been using them for quite a while now though
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bogdanel141:
i have seen pixel extended that got his thread closed because at shutdown the phone bricked so it really is the roms fault
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zainullahk1234:
Pixel extended= bad

pixel experience= amazing
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Darkaeluz:
That's why I suggest using CrDroid, mostly because I haven't failed any installation following their installations steps, the ROM being stable and having good customizations is a perk that comes with it
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jylee1997123:
I am sorry about the confusion. My PE = Pixel Experience | PEX = Pixel Extended.

The second time what I installed is PE, Pixel Experience.

I never really tried CrDroid before, I will definitely take a look into that in the future, thank you for the suggestion.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes, i run the

Descendant 12 ROM

i use ACCA to manage my battery health and use my Samsung watch with Smart lock to keep my phone unlocked, I have all my banking apps working fine, even Santander.

I did find one bug regarding NFC not turning on at start up,

but i have since found a work around.

After trying many roms this is the one for me.

With lots of trial and error that included me not reading the original install instructions correctly, i finally found what make this rom perfect, since my original install post on page one,

I use a OTG Adaptor and usb stick to load all my files,

once i have temporary recovery using TWRP,

these are,

1. From orangefox recovery, install the Descendant rom, Reboot the rom and from within Descendant recovery do a FACTORY RESET,

reboot the rom and once the initial first boot setup is complete, it`s time to reinstall Orangefox recovery.

2. Using a PC temporally boot into TWRP and reinstall Orangefox recovery,

then install Magisk v23.

3. once your F3 is booted up, update Magisk to version 24,

then Happy days.

I love my F3 especially now i run the AMAZING Descendant 12 ROM with the NFC Bug fixed.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] UnderscoreKer:
I highly suggest sticking to TWRP or orange fox recovery.

Can you hold the power button and volume down button while plugged in and see if it responds?

If it responds, I highly suggesting using the xiaomi flash tool and appropriate downloaded stock fastboot rom to completely factory reset the phone. After booting the phone to setup once to allow it to expand the partitions, you can retry flashing another custom rom.

Either the rom is faulty, or maybe you triggered the verified boot? I doubt it is a issue where you need to format the phone, because if it was it would bootloop, but I could be wrong.
