[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
Hi guys,

I believe these will be helpful in finding dead pixels. Just view em through your phones. =)

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] :
I have 1 dead pixel top left. and two on the front camera CMOS (seen on image clicked at periphery) not too bad I guess.
[Touch HD General] <<CodeMaster>>:
I used Pocket LCD v.1.0 to cycle through some colors, and I don't detect any dead/stuck pixels... LUCKILY :D
[Touch HD General] cpasoft:
I also have got a stuck pixel on camera mode (top & right corner).

If you zoom, the pixel disappear!!!... have you tried that?? :p

The stuck pixel is not on the lcd. I guess is a CCD problem, but in the final picture the stuck pixel doesn't appear...

Very strange... :p

Fix for dead pixels

i see that a few of you are on Orange, well you dont have any problems, find a 20 oz hammer and smash the screen.

what you dropped your phone, call Orange and they will send you another one out.

but only if you pay £6 per month insurance ..... sorted :D
[Touch HD General] Black Antitoon:
There is an official fix for the stuck pixels in camera mode available from www.htc.com.
[Touch HD General] cpasoft:
Really??, could you tell more about it??.. where it can be found??

Sorry... I find it...

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=0&dl_id=482

I will check it...

Thanks...
[Touch HD General] Black Antitoon:
No problem. Tell us if it works. ;)
[Touch HD General] <<CodeMaster>>:
Using PocketLCD and a magnifying-glass, I found around 10 stuck pixels... some red, 1 blue and rest seemed to be white. Some of them seem to change color. They are really tiny, and you need to look really closely, in a low-ambient light room. Some of the brighter ones also look like it may actually be 2/3 together.

Unfortunately, my phone was nine days old, and the network I am with has a strick 7-day 'out-of-box' failure policy. So now my phone has gone in for repairs, and the LCD will most likely be replaced. Just sucks that I will be with out my phone for 7-14 days :(
[Touch HD General] shatou:
My HTC Touch Pro 2 has over 5 dead pixels :(

I will go for a replacement, i had it for 4 days only!!!
[Touch HD General] AdamsvillE:
i had two , one white and the other blue
[Touch HD General] haythamtayle:
well... i got 3 dead pixels one black pixel appears in blue screen and the other 2 appears in contacts menu above the box of name search in grey, but i have ques. dead pixel appears in all colors or it could appear in one color and what about return does it require to exchange it's been 3 months :( for buying and it's the only problem that i have on it.

thank u all for sharing info.
[Touch HD General] mcdull:
Got none but I really didn't check it pixel by pixel.. just the overview.

but I got dead pixel on CMOS. After updated HTC camera, it should have been mapped out by software.

i sent it to htc care center hope get new one i'll miss my device more than 10 days :(

Does anyone have built a TWRP image, or at least know where I could get the BoardConfig.mk to be able to compile it? Thanks!

[ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip] Wtxr3dn3ck:
I take it nobody ever got back to you for this. Responses in this forum are pretty light. I want to use TWRP to have easier access to the boot files, but it doesn't look like this phone ever gets any love from the android community. It's a shame too, as far as smart phones go it's what I want. Good processor, good amount of RAM, SD card slot, Wifi 6, 5G (sort of in the US). It is missing some frequencies in the US generally, but I wasn't having too many issues with signal. The only downside is the VoLTE and VoWIFI, but both of those can be activated with ADB once you root it. So long as you don't use ATT directly VoLTE seems to work fine.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
I don't know what's wrong with this phone, but once it's rooted it will eventually enter a boot loop after some restarts or power on/off cycles. You can boot to recovery or fastboot, but no matter what you do there, the only way to fix the bootloop is flashing the stock boot and recovery partitions and formating data from there. The phone will reset to factory and boot up normally, but you will loose all your config, apps, etc. It's a pain in the a** to setup everything all over again every few days. Every time you have to restart your phone is like playing russian roulette, you never know when the boot loop will happen, but it will come up sooner or later no matter what you do. I have performed a lot of tests just rooting and without touching a single thing in config or apps, after some restart cycles it boot loops.

I'm fed up with it because it's so unreliable, it may work fine if you use it stock but I personally need root. I have ended up being so afraid of restarts that I have not powered it off or restarted since a month.

By the way this is my first One Plus and I don't know if this issue happens with other models from the brand.

This is just my experience and my advise.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] satanishere16:
Even i am a nord 2 owner and currently i am running custom os android 12 , even before this i had no probs like this with root.....

I bricked my device while installing gsi but that was different...

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-6-0_11-0-for-oneplus-nord-2-5g-denniz.4335021/

Fastboot reboot recovery

Do this, then flash latest magisk....

You'll be good
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
Indeed that's what I tried first because I usually solved boot loops with that method in other phones in the past. But with this one that trick does not work, I tried with several magisk versions before trying other things that didn't work either such as restoring a nandroid backup with TWRP or wiping everything and formatting data on TWRP. The only thing that worked was the method I described in OP, which I found in other thread in this forum. I have read reports about other people suffering the same problems, so I know I'm not alone.

By the way it seems to happen only with stock ROM. Which custom ROM are you using?

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Sperafico:
Hi,

I can confirm that I had the same problem as you to root 3 One Plus Nord 2 (DN2103) from different friends wishing to stay on OxygenOS.

The root works fine and then totally randomly the OnePlus animation keeps looping after a reboot.

By doing a "fastboot -w" it starts again correctly but obviously with a loss of data.

Recently I got a Nord 2 from a friend for testing and it turns out that using the latest version of Magisk Canary, the root seems to remain after several reboots but to be tested over several months.

I've also seen here owners of European Nord 2 who confirm that root works well with Magisk Canary.

Edit : After about 10 reboots, the phone went back to bootloop.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
Yes it's really exhausting root this phone. I tried custom roms without any problems with Magisk but stock is broken somehow. I need to use stock because of video recording quality. I have now Magisk 24.3 but didn't really restart it yet because of this. You shoud backup all data before restart 😂. You can use data format in twrp, that works too.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
Thank you very much. Next time I will try switching to magisk canary channel. I'm on stable and sticking to 24.1 because the last time I updated from that version to 24.3 I got into a boot loop.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
Thanks for your answer. In my case the first thing I tried was flashing magisk again, then restoring a full nandroid backup with twrp, and then formatting data in twrp, but none of these steps worked.

I also heard about this problem being solved in custom ROMs but I haven't found any that fit my needs or any that has everything working, so I prefer to keep on rooted stock.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Cmeanski:
#metoo 🤣. We need devs to look into this problem. Been using rooted Android phone for years but now 😭 it s***s without root on Nord 2.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
As long as you use an untouched stock rom (or after modding re-flashed by OnePlus servicepoint, rebooted into stock recovery, wipe all and re-flash stock, in a OnePlus store), root works fine on stock rom. Every attempt different than above will fail one day or another. I decided not to take OTAs because too many things can go wrong / turn unstable.

The phone is my daily driver, also for work. But I am rooted with Magism 24.3 (stable) and have various modules running including LSPosed, Shamiko, USNF, and in LSPosed GravityBox, XprivacyLua pro and a few more.

Works awesomely. Just don't touch things afterwords. In that case, yes, the phone sucks. Big time.

shoud what can i do any bramhastra or something ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Akshansh@0120:
Look basically i am nerd and i agree that so apart from root i have question that installing TWRP and Custom Rom,is that working correctly with no issues? particularly pixelos
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] 8vasa8:
TWRP and custom roms works without issue. Even root is working with custom.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
NANDroid does NOT work on stock rom! TWRP does, but no NANDroids possible.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Nouuu:
Unfortunately I agree...

I spent so much time because of manipulations that I am used to doing, and which leads to a boot loop and a brick of the phone immediately afterwards.

The only solution I had was to flash the rom, which of course leads to a total reset each time and a considerable waste of time.

This is my 3rd and last OnePlus phone that I buy, I'm sick of all my lost data and hours spent just getting it started.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Ceder78:
Oh my oneplus nord 2 is now in final bootloop. Cant make anything work, just keeps rebooting when plugging in power so $350 down the drain. Would not recommend..
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
Why down the drain? It's not 1 year old, so Oneplus will renew firmware under warrantee.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
U r wrong
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] kq​:
I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, but for me, it always happens after about a week or two of ignoreing "you have an update available" popup. I thought maybe it modified the boot image, like magisk, to run at the next startup.

I agree that this is very annoying. If I didn't need Google Pay, I'd just install another rom.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
Like said. Have your device Factory-flashed by OnePlus, REBOOT to stock recovery, do a FULL WIPE and FACTORY FLASH stock AGAIN! Only with the official OnePlus tool and software.

Only this way all your old fiddling around is erased. If you ROOT then, all will be fine. Of course, neglect further updates, but the device will work fine. Mine is in this state, heavily tweaked (Magisk, Zygisk, USNF, GravityBox, etc. etc. and it runs stable for over 10 weeks without any hickup.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] krugm0f0:
I have the same experience...! I run a full Titanium Backup to cloud for important apps and settings every night, so the hassle to get back up and running isn't THAT big. But still. I have had my phone reset this way 3 times since christmas.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
If you had it resetted 3 times, then I doubt they did a full wipe in STOCK recovery and THEN reinstall stock. Like said after that, and when all your tweaks and rooting goes straight and without errors, all should keep working.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] krugm0f0:
You can't really "reinstall stock", there is no stock image available, only incremental updates.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] exis_tenz:
This needs to be explicitly done by an OnePlus servicepoint. But normally they never wipe a second time and then re-flash. But that is the only way to go
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
It seems I managed to make it stable at last. I've been running the system and rebooting it regularly without problems for the last two months.

It seems that flashing magisk from TWRP was causing the boot loop problems. Patching the boot image manually with magisk app and flashing it later in fastboot seems to work flawlessly, at least for the moment
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
This make sense. Patched boot.img with magisk almost year ago without problems. Didn't install TWRP, since I thought it's a cause of bootloop...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Xatanu:
Installing TWRP is safe, but some features don't work well in this device. For example, restoring a nandroid backup in a device with the boot loop problem will not solve it, so they cannot be trusted. Also, formating data will not wipe everything, it seems to leave traces. Doing the same from stock recovery works fine
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Sitolam:
Is this problem still a thing? And If you install a custom rom and then flash the magisk zip file does that work?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] gawain.j:
I can't tell on OOS because I've stopped using it since june but there is no problem with root on custom ROM. I'm using Pixel Experience by Sakil Mondal (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-12-pixelexperience-aosp-oneplus-nord-2-5g-denniz.4392521/) and it's working great. I haven't tried A13 yet.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Sitolam:
You can just flash the magisk zip file in TWRP without any problems on your custom rom?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] gawain.j:
Yes, no bootloop or other problem so far: 6 months with approximately one dirty flash each month (for each PE new release)
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] moreinternetplease:
I've tried over 20 3rd party call recording apps on my 8T.

The ones that work all have one issue in common: They create an echo for the person I'm talking to when my phone is on speaker phone.

Some apps have the option to choose the source of the recorder (mic, speaker, uplink, download, voice communication, and other options). However, after trying every combination on every app, the issue persists.

Once the app is removed, my speaker phone no longer creates an echo for the person on the other end.

What I need:

1) Auto Call Recording for every call

2) No echoing with speaker phone on or off

3) No other options/features are deal breakers :)

Also - I'm running Android 12 DerpFest and have tried apps that do and do not require root!

Hi everyone, I'm in need of some help ASAP. I unlocked my ANE-LX1 phone's bootloader so that I could root it, but things went wrong. My phone is stuck on TWRP logo screen (No TWRP menu, only logo) and my PC doesn't recognize it no matter what. I can only access the fastboot screen but it means nothing when you can't use ADB commands. I really don't know what to do, please help!
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
@-Alf- Hope that you'd help :(
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Hi, try to explain what exactly happened, step by step.

For what reason?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
Ok so I unlocked the bootloader, then I tried to root with Magisk by using adb but somehow it didn't work so I decided to install TWRP. I was on 9.1 but TWRP version was 9.0. I installed it and phone started to boot into TWRP only. PC recognized the phone but there were a bunch of folders with weird names. So I pressed on Format Data in TWRP but it didn't progress so I had to force-shut down my phone. Now PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. It's stuck on TWRP logo screen. Since my PC can't read the phone, I'm unable to use adb commands.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Format Data in incompatible TWRP? Really not good idea...

Okay, try the following:

- install on PC "Minimal ADB and fastboot" , open it, run command

fastboot devices <enter>

You'll get message 'waiting for any device'.

- Turn off the phone, hold Volume Down and connect to PC. Post the result.

What is region? (Cxxx)
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
First of all, thank you man. It was suggested by someone on XDA, I shouldn't have done it.

I think the regional code is C121, I bought it in Turkey.

The thing is my phone doesn't turn off. Even when I force it by holding the button, it just turns back on. It stays like that until the battery dies.

I can open the fastboot screen by holding the vol down button and it says:

ap_s_abnormal 64

phone unlocked

frp unlocked
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Have you tried connect to PC, then press and hold Power + Vol Down for 10-12 sec?

I bet I know who it was :p
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
Yeah I tried that, it just opens fastboot mode after phone restarts.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:

I guess so. It's all a matter of money :cool:.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
Haha yeah but some stuff you do on your phone might be irreversible, that's what I'm afraid of.

So do you actually know what caused my device to boot into TWRP menu only? Is it because TWRP is incompatible with Android 9.1? (Or is it?)
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Yes, e.g. damaged motherboard...

Of course I cannot say that for sure. But I can say for sure that doing 'data format' (running stock EMUI) on some TWRP 3.4. and above can brick Kirin 659 device.

via OTA update

I would suggest updating first and then root
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
OTA says 9.1.0.208 is the latest version but I highly doubt that, something must be wrong with this ROM because the customer service guy installed it. My phone is C121 by the way.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Try to update via HiSuite or using option "Download latest version etc." in eRecovery. Maybe .208 is really the latest version for regional variant C121, idk...
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] soslusos:
So I was gonna roll back to EMUI 8 to unlock the bootloader but this time there's no "Switch to previous versions" option... In phone settings it says LGRP_OVS 9.1.0.208, is that the cause? How am I gonna unlock the bootloader now? So confused, I don't want to mess things up this time :D
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Yes, it is. Incompatible or incomplete FW .

In fastboot mode run commands :

fastboot oem get-build-number

fastboot oem get-product-model

fastboot getvar vendorcountry

fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION

fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

and post the results.
