[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Ok, so I assume you've read about the MSM tool here and maybe elsewhere, too, about 30 times? (Not being condescending, that's what it took me to get all of it, and I've been doing this for quite a while...).

My takeaways as I remember them:

- You need Windows. Yuck. If you are another OS, Virtualization is your friend, but make sure your USB passes through; in Linux that means some security adjustments.

- There is a SPECIAL qualcomm driver needed for Windows to see the EDL mode. This is hard to make sure you have installed correctly, but trips a lot of people- it is different than the phone/fastboot/ADB ones.

- The boot [physical] key combination only works for like 3 seconds or so to go to EDL - otherwise it will try to boot normally. That means get everything perfect, MSM running, mouse over "begin" (or whatever it is called), before you hold the keys and plug in the cable. Watch for it to appear, then quickly start once it is seen. Don't drop the keys until it says beginning firehose something or other. At that point sit back and relax.

- Make sure if you are loading a Win10 VM for this you cut it off the internet. Your friends in Redmond may try to auto-update including rebooting you in the middle of the download, which will not work out well for you.

If something goes south be specific, and I will try to help. Just remember, it is nearly impossible to brick a OnePlus due to EDL, so take your time and it will work :)
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Oh yeah, while this is probably obvious, lemme say it for the record: (1) MSM puts it back to literal factory, so you have to re-unlock bootloader all over again to begin the quest of root/customization (2) this will absolutely wipe anything on the device data wise. SD cards are your friend.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] frankyp90:
I was able to fix the issue by booting into EDL mode correctly, thank you so much for your help!
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Glad to hear. Like I said, it took me many times reading over and over again, along with trial and error, before I made it happen the first time. But now that you're past it, have no more fear, flash away!

If something wasn't obvious to you, add a response to this or the OP article with your insight. It may help for many generations of phones to come.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] TheVH:
Hey guys, something I've noticed recently with my X3 Pro is that whenever I have it connected to a charger that uses some kind of fast charging protocol, it'll charge for five seconds, disconnect and then repeat. It happens with all sorts of chargers and cables, all of which have worked fine in the past. Using standard USB-A to Type-C connections work fine but even the USB-A fast charge port on my power hub gives it this issue.

I've been looking online for solutions, tried air blasting the charging port, there doesn't seem to be any other kind of battery irregularities like a swollen shape or an increase in battery drain, now I'm worried that it might be the Type-C port itself. I'm running the latest version of Lineage OS but it doesn't seem like the OS has anything to do with it either as the charging problem persists when charging while powered down.

What do you guys think? I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue but I want a second opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rondrian:
I have The same Problem.

Only The original charger works with fast charging. Haaven't found The issue on The Internet before your Post. Ist there a solution? Maybe this is Kernel related?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samchiu90:
There is a toolbar for the android emulator in android studio for the user to "click" the volume button to send a volume KeyEvent to the application.

View attachment 5629683

Are there other android emulators that can do this?

I have tried BlueStacks already but it will adjust the volume only instead of sending the KeyEvent. For the application that may overwrite the default behavior of the Keyevent

(in this case, KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP & KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN, ACTION_UP & ACTION_DOWN),

how can I trigger those events in other android emulators?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KevinACrider:
To add custom CD covers for music in TF3D, you need to first create the image in 256x256 w/ 82 DPI. Title the file ~hTC_<Album Name Goes Here>.jpg and move it into your My Music folder on your Fuze. Once it's there, go in and set the properties to hidden on the album cover.

Now, to get the image to show up on music that's already loaded onto your Fuze, just load each song individually. As of now, that's the only solution I've found for making the images show up. Any other hints or tips will be added to this first post as I see them. Feel free to post your own.

Apparently you can also embed the album art on your PC and it will tag along wherever the MP3 is moved to. (Thanks Kerensky97)

Original Post (for reference):

For instance when I add some Shinedown songs from the new Us and Them album, the cover is there but when I put James Blunt on, I get the standard empty one. Anyway you can assign images to all your music?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hotrod101:
I have noticed that most music players require that you place an album cover photo in .jpg format and name the cover either "folder" or "cover". Place the ablum cover in a folder with your music. Some players will show some of the embedded album art but not all of the embedded album art. Using the method I mentioned above works for most players.

Separate your music into seperate folders (I separate by album, artist and sometimes by type of music, then place an album cover in .jpg format into the folder and name the album art "folder". All the songs in that folder witht that album art should display that particular album art when playing.

If you put all you mixed songs into one folder and put one album art using the method mentioned above you will always see the same album cover for every song - this is why you will want to separate your music.

This works for me using Windows media player, TCPMP, S2P, and Mort Player.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KevinACrider:
I'm using the standard music player in TF3D. I have my music sorted into folders by the first letter of the artist but I don't see the same album art for all artists starting with S. I did see the art, I'll try to figure out the format and see if I can finagle it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hotrod101:
I dont have TF3D So I really can't say how it would work for that since I havn't tried it. you can try to embedd the art manually into each song. use something like Media Monkey (which you can download for free) to try embedding album art to you songs. I usually get my album art from this web site

http://www.albumart.org/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kerensky97:
All my album art(jpg) is embedded in the MP3 metadata using Mp3tag and it all shows up fine in TF3D. It obviously checks that tag to see if you have it so no need for additional files in your folders (although I wonder which it will prefer if you have both?).

Do it to all your music on your computer and you can copy/paste/cut/rearrange your songs however you want and the art will always follow.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
Hi all,

I'm encountering a very annoying issue with my brand new Zenfone 8.

I wanted to install the last LineageOS image, but now my phone seems stuck.

Here are what I did:

- Unlocked the bootloader: success with the ASUS APK after a few tries (error 11000 and 11006 ans eventually worked).

- Rebooted to bootloader

- Entered into recovery

- Used fastboot to flash the vendor partition.

At this point, everything looked OK. But then.... :

- Powered off the phone and restarted to bootloader.

- Tried to enter into recovery to flash the Lineage Recovery

But at this point, I had a ASUS logo stucked on the screen.

I can't do anything with adb or fastboot commands.

I tried the method explained here (https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-13-Beta/) to rollback to stock Android 12, but nothing happened too: I looked at the shell script (I'm on Linux) and I reckon that it stucks on fastboot command (the phone is in the bootloader).

Any idea about what failed? The last command used (vendor partition flash) said "OKAY".

And especially, what can I do now? Any way to reinstall the ASUS recovery?

Thanks in advance guys.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Sarum4n:
Not quite sure what your status is if you say "can't do anything with adb or fastboot commands". I've flashed Zenfones a couple of times (my household has 3 Zenfone 8's on LineageOS) and I had one that went into ramdump. I recovered from that using fastboot to manually reflash all 19 firmware partitions, in both slots. That got the phone out of ramdump, and I got to continue the upgrade to the new LineageOS. So: if you can boot to the fastboot environment, then that would be a road that might leaed you out. But if you can't even get a response to the command "fastboot devices" then I don't know of a course of action for you.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
To use fastboot commands I had to run the phone into bootloader mode, then to "recovery" and eventually "fastboot" (I'm note 100% sure but it's what I remembered).

Without that, I was unable to use any fastboot commands like device or flash.

And now the issue is that I'm not able to go to recovery/fastboot again, because I have just the ASUS logo and nothing else.

It looks like that the stock recovery was dead, but I don't know why - and I don't know how to fix/reset it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
From the bootloader you should be able to flash the raw image again, it should flash everything
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
Good to know - but with which commands/tools?

As I said, I was unable to use fastboot commands from my computer on the Zenfone bootloader.

On the bootloader page, I just have "waiting for devices" and noting else. I had to go into the recovery > fastboot to make the commands work.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
On Linux and maybe macs too you need to run fastboot commands as Root (sudo fastboot devices) for example. The raw image script should ask you for your Root password for this reason
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
Yes I know - I well used sudo for all commands.

The ASUS script asks me for password but then does absolutely nothing - not even a print. I waited a few minutes and finally canceled.

For you, fastboot commands should work on the bootloader screen? (I ask that because the script starts by a fastboot command).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Yes, they work from the bootloader, I always run the script from the BL too. Ironically, I had issues running fastboot commands from fastbootd for installing Omnirom, so I did it all in the bootloader and all worked fine.

I am not sure I can help you more at this point, it looks like it maybe got interrupted mid flashing and now something is wrong somewhere. Maybe if you look inside the bash script file you can find the command that it got stuck on and run that manually if you manage to get fastboot command access.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
Strange - they have never worked from the bootloader. I tried that before according to the LineageOS wiki. I thought it was a mistake and use the recovery > fastboot to do that. I dont like that - I hope it's not a local version of the Zenfone or something like that.

I'm not at home tonight but yes I'll try to find commands not requiering the fastboot command.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
Unfortunately all commands from the script are using fastboot. And as "fastboot devices" sees nothing, I can't do anything.

I've tried from the bootloader screen (with start, recovery, poweroff option) - from the start screen showing unlocked bootloader warning and from the ASUS logo when I try to start the recovery. I've tried the commands/scripts with Linux and Windows: same result.

So :

- I can't use any fastboot commands.

- I don't have the ASUS recovery.

Speaking of the ASUS recovery, I've found screenshots on internet and they don't have a "fastboot" submenu (I'm not sure it's a Zenfone 8). May had I a different version?

I don't like that. If I don't have others option, I guess that the warranty doesn't work because the phone is unlocked?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] semurel:
I eventually found a solution! I've tried with my old OnePlus cable and fastboot commands start working from the bootloader screen.

I have no idea why my other cable was faulty (it can charge the phone and executes commands from the Recovery > Fastboot menu - but not on the BL screen).

Anyway my problem is now fixed.

Thanks all for help and support.

Bugs:​

- Decryption not working

Install Instructions:​

- Update to Android 10 (it will probably boot on Android 9 firmware, but it wasn't tested).

- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. If not, unlock it first. Check out the "Unlocking the bootloader" section of this post.

- Reboot to bootloader

- Execute:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot

- Or to boot directly without flashing:

fastboot boot twrp.img

- Boot using power, volume down and volume up pressed simultaneously.

Note: Stock ROM will keep replacing the recovery with it's own recovery. You need to boot to recovery right after flashing it. Booting to stock ROM after flashing may cause it to replace TWRP with the stock recovery. So either find and remove the script responsible for this, flash a GSI or just wait for custom ROMs.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] adazem009:
The first step is to get the kernel image from stock ROM. It should be in zImage format (search for mkbootimg tool). Place it in the "prebuilt" directory of the device tree as "Image.gz-dtb". Then take the dtbo.img from stock ROM and place it in the "prebuitlt" directory as well. These are the minimal changes to get it booting... you might also have a look at libraries in "rootdir" and replace them later.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] unst4bl3:
Ok..

First go to fastboot by the command:

adb reboot bootloader

Then do:

Fastboot boot "path of twrp"

Then, after you boot to twrp,

go to install,

Select install image option,

Then select twrp.img file,

Then flash it as recovery.

Then go to reboot > press on recovery,

Then goto wipe > adv. wipe > wipe system, data, internal, cache

Then swipe to wipe

Then reboot > recovery

Then flash, select install image

Then, select system.img file

Note: system should ab, vndklite, arm64 and then also only few will work..

For me pixel experience(+) gsi, descendant, miku worked.

After you flash, go to wipe > format data > type "yes"

Then reboot > recovery

Then reboot > system

Volla!! Done ✔️

Now, enjoy.. ;)
