The mentioned button combination is the one I used to get to download mode before I flashed the firmware.

Now the button combination is not working.

It will not boot to recovery or the download mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
Yes but what I meant the usb cable is important (instead pwr button) - obviously you did it right before, just wanted to clarify intentionally/unintentionally.

The error screen "fingerprint protection failed." suggest it can not read fingerprint so I guess your phone stucks somewhere beyond aboot, that's why it does not work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
after doing some more research I have bad news for you:

found two other sites with same issue "fingerprint protection failed" (in espanol and nepalese) both suggest bricked bootloader which can only fixed by JTAG or ISP.

If that's true I recommend RMA to Samsung there is a good chance they treat as hardware failure (don't tell anything)

Is my idea to boot the phone from an SD-card (like booting windows from USB-drive) and reinstall Android Firmware nonsense or is it somehow possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
if aboot is corrupt (or I believe sboot for exynos) you can't pass to any boot mode. there is something like debug emergency download mode, and I have seen some kind of flash tool for this. can't remember but will update if I stumple across what I read (something like this)

anyway, the only other thread I find useful is this one

https://xdaforums.com/t/10-exynos-bootloader-removed.4155085

can you check the "boot-loop" maybe is already debug emergency download mode? that would be great so you don't have to open the case...

this post suggest it's just a black screen

so you just need the right offsets, proper files and tools to unbrick device (if RMA is no option for you)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knut222:
Hey @aIecxs

sorry for the late response,

I'm not sure if this is the answer of your question but phone is not listed in Windows device manager - other devices as "exynos9820" when connedted to the computer. There is just nothing happening. It seems the PC doesn't recognize the phone at all.

When connecting the phone via USB-calbe to the PC, the screen just shows the pictures I posted earlier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
Sorry, english is not my native language. it's listed as exynos9820? or not?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knut222:
Mine neither :D

No it's not listed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
so either RMA to dealer or watch the disassembly video
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knut222:
After disconnecting the battery the bootloop will end and starting in download mode is possible again?

Hello All,

I have about 1000 Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Core A03 phones that are used in health facilities, am trying to find a cheaper way to manage the devices to avoid users installing unwanted apps and use. Any solution suggestions that do not involve the use of third party companies/software platforms?

Thank you in advance.

I Have A Galaxy A71. And, I'm trying to install the Pixel experience 12.0 ROM on it. I Did go through all of the processes correctly. I Have dynamic partitions, so I have to delete them before installing Pixel experience 12. And for that first, I need to erase the system. command= "fastboot erase system". If I type that command this is the error code that I get.

And I have already read two xda threads but none of them work. they say its most likely because a critical process failed due to the battery dying. but my battery is at 100 percent. Please help me, guys!!!

Is anyone working on porting this to other devices ? I found a thread in the general-general section without feedback so i think its not well known what Asus brought out with his p320 device, but it runnes on a slow 200 Mhz cpu with QVGA with smooth animations and fadings so this or Parts of it could be interesting for us and not to hard to crack (hope so) for other devices:

here you see today plugin with great animations and a kind of cube with multi homescreens (watch full videos ist getting better and better):

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m.schmidler:
would be nice, it´s a completely new concept (at least for me) and Asus really had some nice ideas. Eg the player, selecting single songs out of one album and then start to play - don´t know any other app / player that has got this feature.

Eh, you´re telling me there are playlists...I know, but this isn´t as convenient.

So, let´s get a dump, I´d say ;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Creutz:
It looks darn good! However, I think that the p320 only has the 2d stuff (like the opal and the m2d) on asus' homepage one can see that the p552w has the glide stuff and it has a whole lot stronger cpu than the p320 624MHz vs 200MHz. Just my two cents.

View attachment 5576013
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jonkki:
Update: found a way to wipe cache partition, that did nothing.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Whats the way?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jonkki:
1. Boot to recovery by shutting down your phone and holding volume up + power until you see the recovery menu.

2. Select "clear data" and then "wipe cache partition"

I know it feels scary to select "clear data" but you know it wouldn't wipe your phone without confirming at least a couple of times anyway. But like I said, wiping cache partition didn't help at all. I nuked my phone and started fresh, now I have plenty of space again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] blaczero:
used to flash my phones back in the day, seems a bit has changed. If you could point me to a guide, maybe where to start?

I've flashed TWRP on a and b, and trying to figure out how to flash a ROM now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HolyHog:
It depends on how the Dev set up the rom to be installed. Typically if the rom is .zip, you can install it with TWRP. Once you have downloaded your rom, copy it to your phone to a folder so you can find it easily. Reboot to TWRP and hit the Install button. Then navigate to your folder that has the rom in it and click on it. It should go through the install process and when its done, go back to the main TWRP menu and hit WIPE. If you are changing roms, you have to wipe your data or it won't boot up.

Also when you flash a rom, you are also flashing recovery from that rom and wiping out your TWRP install for that slot. You can re-install if you want.

Usually if your installing an after market rom, the dev will give you installation instructions. Most of the time they use Fastboot & ADB for these double slot phones since TWRP has not been available since its inception until lately.

Not really interested in comparisons by oppo embassadors, I was wondering about real owners of the phone and what they are getting day to day battery wise so I can compare it with my own, exchange tips to improve it,etc.

Has XDA stopped creating "real life review" subforums for new devices being added?
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] carburano:
i will post more images :)

You can be sure, my review will be honest. If you ask me i can assure that Color OS at the moment is not my favourite UI because it has Memory management limitations and some multitasking issues. Also notification menu is a little bugged. Also i have some critics about Find X5 price range.

Normally i use phones for 1 month before reviewing it. At the moment you can simply check my thread for photos against pixel 6 pro (same price range) and S22 Ultra (maybe a little unfair for Find X5 not pro)

BTW if you have questions please ask. We are simply lucky users and we are on your side
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] mcall_r:
@carburano I am not doubting that you are going to review the phone and post your genuine findings, but as I mentioned, I am not really looking for one persons opinion. I am just confused as to why XDA stopped creating the Real Life Review subforums for new devices. That's all.

I guess I can still post a thread discussing battery life, and another one to compare images taken etc etc.

The bottom line is that I want input and opinions from real users who have paid their hard earned money for the phone.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] InternalMonologue:
Videos too. I have been trying to understand what their highlighted features mean in terms of user experience and if this is what makes the phone more expensive.

I haven't seen an example of real life review forums. When/Where did you last see one?

https://xdaforums.com/c/huawei-p40-pro.10263/

OnePlus 7 Pro

The OnePlus 7 Pro is a 6.67" device with a 1440x3120p resolution display. The Snapdragon 855 chipset is paired with 6/8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The main camera is 48+16+8MP and the selfie camera is 16MP. The battery has a 4000mAh capacity.

xdaforums.com

These are the last 2 devices I have owned and they both had real life review forums on XDA.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] TferThomas:
Interesting, but I guess the real-life user reviews is up to the Forum members to commence accordingly, and for XDA to professionally host.

But there are 20 OPPO Product Ambassadors (10 with the X5 Pro and 10 with the X5 (I'm one of the latter)) and we've been asked to use the devices as our daily drivers, and to conduct our own reviews.

Speaking for myself, I consider myself a real user, and will be using my experiences from the X3 Pro, as comparison from the last 12 months.

Yes, the X5 was provided to me by OPPO, but it was also a logical choice for me to have purchased, to update from the X3 Pro (yeah I know the X5 is not the Pro, but all will be revealed in my post), and I curious as to how it performs.

I'm not as technically precise or knowledgeable as a lot of others, and I'm not a professional photographer, just a curious person who works for a Not for Profit Organisation, who enjoys taking photos for posting on Instagram and posting tech stuff on twitter.

But there are twenty real world reviews about to hit XDA.

BTW, the #OPPOFindX5Series doesn't launch in Australia until April 19th.

Hope this helps.

Thomas #OPPOAmbassadors
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Lennyuk:
The ambassadors are real owners of the phone - most were chosen for being people just like you, users of XDA - the fact someone has spent money on the device doesn't make their opinions any less relevant.

Are you going to start separating out those that get the phone 'free' on contract to those that buy it outright too?
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] mcall_r:
Ok fair enough, will be interested to see the reviews. I have already bought the phone and was wondering if I should return it during the 14 day period because the battery isn't anywhere near my Huawei p40 pro.

But I guess that is just because the Huawei had hacked GMS and it had very aggressive battery management.

Your argument about getting a phone "free" on contract is invalid because I am still paying more than the RRP of the phone over the 2 year contract.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Lennyuk:
well that depends on what sort of deal you get :-)
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Oswald Boelcke:
Sir, this is affirmative. All new device fora (i.e. since the website's transition to Xenforo) are "just" one forum with no sections/sub-fora but prefixes for thread titles and filtering.

This forum "OPPO Find X5 Pro" is the one and only exception from above policy.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] mcall_r:
Yes but you were comparing it to getting it free from oppo in exchange for a review.

Having not paid your own money I'd say you'd be inclined to let some things slide would you not (consciously or unconsciously).
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] TferThomas:
It can be also generalised that people who purchase a device will also subconsciously defend their purchase and therefore their review may not also be as "real" as it perhaps could have been.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] mcall_r:
Ok fair point 👍
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] TferThomas:
But I also appreciate your thoughts on how important real reviews are. Totally makes sense to me, and I look for the raw and real reviews all the time 😎
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] Roguejpl148260:
Will you be sharing your real life review as well?
[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] AnyEconomics767:
If the battery optimization is based on the learned events of your SOT and use, 2 weeks won't be enough time to establish a trend, though ideally it should capture your use over 4 charging cycles.

Battery reviews like this will highlight charging power because obviously it's coming with new technology. While Find X5 is not in this list yet, your best bet is reviewing it based on the features they're highlighting.

I installed the WinMo Fring client on my Xperia, and had it working for a day.

Then I tried to launch it from the icon and it wouldn't load, or even post any error messages.

If I browse to Program Files/Fring and launch Fring.exe I get an error message that says 'fring' is not a valid Pocket PC application.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling from the cab, from the computer, through ActiveSync, and nothing works - same error every time.

Do you guys have any suggestions?
