Sure, to flash twrp in fastboot mode you do this.

Download latest twrp

With the phone off hold vol down plug USB into phone and computer.

type on your computer:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.6.2_9-0-h918.img

fastbboot reboot

take battery out

put back in

go into twrp by doing a factory reset. How to factory reset the Lgv20
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DirtyBreakz:
U

Unfortunately no joy. I tried fastboot boot and flash commands and even tried renaming the img file. I tried with 3 different versions of twrp. This was the result:

I've searched the forums and internet for hours and not coming up with anything. Any other ideas?

Just a note when trying to cold boot to twrp using 'UP VOLUME + CONNECT USB' that the screen flashes download mode for a split second and then reboots.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Darnrain1:
That's so odd I have never seen this issue before.

You can try flashing the twrp image to the boot partition.

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

fastboot reboot

Should boot rite into twrp then because the twrp image is on the boot partition. Sounds to be like there may be a hardware problem with this phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DirtyBreakz:
Well unfortunately the flash boot command failed also. I'm guessing because it shows the boot partition size is 0. Any possible way around this?

I'm hoping not but I think you might be right about a possible hardware issue...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Darnrain1:
I think it's a hardware issue with the ram. I cant think of anything else.

Do a search online for the error message.

Writing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
[Oculus Quest] alexpfx:
My oculus quest is having black screen issues. I did everything and nothing helped. Now I trying to set developer mode using mobile app to disable proximity sensor, but the app shows the error in the picture. it says "we are having problems try again". I tried a lot of things, I was able to set developer mode before factory reset. After that never worked again. My company account is verified. Now I'm trying to use logcat to debug oculus app to see if I can find something in logs, but I don't even know if it is possible. I saw I lot of messages but don't know the tag filter I should use. Any ideas?
[Oculus Quest] raeumler:
i think you have to download the oculus SDK and activate it with it....
[Touch Pro CDMA] showtime711:
...it's not even two weeks old and already I've dinged the nice chrome that surrounds the Touch Pro (the Chrome is scratched off and the black underneath now shows.) Anyone know a quick way to cosmetically fix this?
[Touch Pro CDMA] i700plus:
Take it to sprint and get a replacement...

No seriously...

As long as you didnt cause the ding by dropping the phone and it just chipped off there is a known issue with the chrome on the touch pro.

I'm pretty sure (correct me if i am wrong) that the solution is just in-store replacements.
[Touch Pro CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Same suggestion here. As long as the phone does not appear to have suffered a fall, then Sprint will replace it for you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] JstarLuvsTina:
its all good bro i already dropped mine.

i got a tiny tiny mark on the top left side of the device

no else can see it..but i sure as hell can..

i got another 20+ days tho..if anything ill get a replacement..ill give At&t some bs about my phone not working correctly or whatever lol
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmdauria:
Even if you tell them you dropped it, they will still replace it. I thought it was a joke but it is true.
[Touch Pro CDMA] showtime711:
UPDATE

OK, I know what's causing the chrome to chip off. In my original post I didn't explain where the flaking off was happening. It's on the front face, on the right edge. Now, originally I though it was because it dropped a few feet (inside my car, from the center console to the floor), but after looking at it closer I think what's causing the damage is my friggin' case!!! I bought this Body Glove case (http://www.bodyglove.com/products_detail.php?product_id=24491), and after closer inspection, the stitching right where it aligns with the damage on the phone sticks up. I can't explain it properly but basically if I run my finger on that area, I can feel it rubbing against my finger. I'm fairly sure this is what's causing the damage.

Now what's troubling is that when I run my finger over it, it doesn't feel "scratchy" enough on my finger to be doing this damage (basically, I can rub my finger over it over and over again and my finger is fine). So is the quality of the plastic chrome really that bad that it can be damaged by something that won't even cause any type of skin abrasion on my finger if I rub it over and over again?

The damage has grown since my original post. I'm going to sprint and will try to exchange. In the mean time, stay away from that Body Glove case!
[Touch Pro CDMA] JessR:
sprint will take that back.
[Touch Pro CDMA] t0mmyr:
well your luck is not as bad as mine. i got my tp on monday and on tuesday i had my phone in my stock htc case. opened the car door and went to grab my phone out of the door pocket and whoops case w/ phone in it hit the asphault before i could catch it. one day in and it chipped the top left corner of the chrome and i can see the black beneath.

i have tep on my sprint plan and went to one store and was shot down asking if i could replace it because they said i dropped it and was my fault and then they said plus u have to wait for 30 days and u will have to call assurion and pay $50 for a refurbished touch pro. bs.

should i try another store? what should i say
[Touch Pro CDMA] helirob:
My TP had a ding on the upper left corner. I went to a store and told them it's been locking up from day one and got a new one.
[Touch Pro CDMA] showtime711:
update

I went to my local Sprint store and they said they would exchange it for a new one but, of course, they didn't have any in stock nor did any of the other nearby stores. They're supposed to have a UPS shipment of them today and supposed to give me a call. Here's hoping they do.

I looked at the original case that came with the TP and the inside is all smooth, no seams or stitches. I was using this case before I bought that

Body Glove case and looking back on it, the chrome damage did not happen until after I started using that Body Glove case.

So my advice for everyone, if you're not using an Invisible Shield that protects the chrome and you're putting your TP in a case, make sure there's no stitching inside the case where the phone will be sliding in and out. If you do have a case that has stitching on the inside, at the very least make sure all the stitching is smooth to the touch of your finger (including the flap area, basically any area that will be coming into contact with your TP.) Again, the stitching that was sticking out on the inside of the body glove case didn't seem like a big deal when I ran my finger over it but apparently it was enough to scratch and eventually rub off the chrome as I was sliding my TP in and out of the case.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Silent_Song1982:
Apologies if this has already been posted.

I recently unlocked the bootloader on my Redmi Note 10 pro (M2101K6R) . Ive noticed a number of people having issues with the initial account verification as well as the Mi Unlock app verification . While the manual verification has been covered in this forum I havent seen much on the app issue.

For me, even after I was approved for unlocking, the app would stall on the first step - verification . Xiaomi customer service was zero help and ultimately told me to bring it to a repair center, even though there were no software or hardware issues with the phone .

Ultimately the fix was simple. Xiaomi apparantly has two Fastboot modes - one, which is accessed via ADB and displays as "FASTBOOTD" once loaded, and another which is accessed via button press (volume down and power button held while the phone is powered off) which displays as "FASTBOOT". The Mi unlock app can only verify the phone via the FASTBOOT screen.

While the FASTBOOTD mode seems to work for every other Fastboot purpose, its completely useless for phone verification - which is essential for unlocking the bootloader in Xiaomi phones.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Thanks for clarification.

Imho the instructions are mentioning the "button press method" for accessing Fastboot.

I didn't even know about the the existence of the second fastbootd method.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
The official unlock instructions in https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html, which I believe has not been updated since long ago, never mention any instruction to enter command neither from adb or fastboot itself.

Not sure how people can get into fastbootd if they follow the instructions correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] farnlc:
With the prices on Z Flip 3 lately, I was considering snagging one to use as a dedicated hotspot. I’d love some advice.

iPhone user who can’t stand the built-in hotspot that doesn’t broadcast all the time. It works great for Apple devices that have same AppleID…not so much for others. I just want something that I can keep in my backpack and it’s just ready. Considering the Nighthawk 5G is $400…might as well get this.

Would prefer to use a widget to control the hotspot from the outside display and not have to flip open to use. I see there are some options there. Any tips or cool widgets to be aware of?

My wireless plans have 40-50GB of hotspot included, but I’d rather mask the hotspot so that it doesn’t come from that bank. Do I need to root? Or are there some apps that I can still download that do that?

Ethernet tethering…does that mean with an adapter I can hook up to my home Wi-Fi router as the source when our home internet goes out?

Anything else I’m not considering?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
A 3300 mAh battery isn't all that much power...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] farnlc:
Good point. The dedicated hotspots generally have 4500-5500. Though I’ve seen that wireless charging with MagSafe works with a ring, and I have plenty of chargers that would be pretty convenient.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Depending on the current usage with screen off running as a hot spot constantly being on a charger may not work well. Phones aren't designed to be charged with the screen on ie in a high current drain state.

If it does maintain a 100% charge state... high temperatures and high cell voltage degrade an Li the quickest.

In the end midrange power cycling (40-80%) may yield a better Li lifespan.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
1. There are a lot of options out there before buying a phone to do it. Make sure you've considered all of them, such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09742XJB1 (~$190)

2. By default, it's not an option. There are a couple options out there to run apps and widgets on the cover. You'll find them here.

3. Apps still exist that can run a hotspot separate from whatever your carrier claims is the limit. It's my understanding that the limit is bandwidth added, whereas using a third-party hotspot borrows the bandwidth from your phone. In your case, it won't make much difference not using the phone.

4. Using adapters, it is possible. That isn't to say it will be effective, since you would be using a single 5G connection broken down into a portion for each device connected to it. It's a bit like ordering one pizza. Either the slices need to be smaller or less people need to eat.

5. Phone hotspots are meant for when you run into trouble and someone needs to borrow internet or you have a tablet that would be better for completing a task. It's not a long-term solution by any means.

If you really want to buy a phone to run a hotspot, there are far better options. You can limit some battery use with the cover screen by running a full launcher on it, but that only compensates for the smaller device battery. At the end of the day, you trade that extra time you would have every time you are running the hotspot with the screen off for the few times you have to change settings not using as much power on that run. It would only really make sense if you already had the phone and were repurposing it.

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-battery-Unlocked-Camera-Silver/dp/B08NWD7K8H

$229 for 5G and a 5000 mAh battery makes a lot more sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] farnlc:
A dedicated hotspot would be fine, but I plan on using SIM cards on phone plans or iPad plans. I wouldn't want to use anything that would trigger a flag.

No arguments here. Every once in a blue moon we have a disconnect at home and we need to fire up hotspots. If I had an option to integrate into our router so that I didn't have to update all the connection settings that would be cool.

I appreciate the recommendation. The main appeal to this device is the form factor. If I'm going to run phone as hotspot I want it to be as small/compact as possible - understanding the trade-off in battery life. What I really want is a Palm Companion sized phone that I can program a launcher to only control the hotspot and lock the screen so it doesn't go into any other interface. Basically - act like a hotspot device - but have a phone IMEI that's less traceable.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
If the Ticwris MAX devices were 5G, I'd recommend that. They're 2600 mAh, but about the size of a Zippo. One thing I've learned, though, is if you approach a list of cons trying to justify how to accept or overcome them, you've already decided. Best thing to do is make sure you can return it if it's not what you hoped.

As this phone shares the same chip as the samsung galaxy note 10 would it be possible to port it from that phone and get DEX?

Set up and use Samsung DeX on your Galaxy phone or tablet

Samsung DeX lets you connect your mobile device to a TV or monitor for a desktop experience.

[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] ShaDisNX255:
It's not just a matter of porting the app, I think you'd have to port the whole firmware (system at the very least) since I'm almost certain DeX has some dependencies inside framework which probably don't exist in stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] blackhawk:
If it's on the list on the link I provided previously, it's doable. Courtesy of Samsung. Sometimes Samsung has pleasant unexpected surprises...
[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] ShaDisNX255:
Note 10 is on the list, F62/M62 are not. I assume they don't have it in their firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] blackhawk:
Sorry if it's not on there, it's likely not doable.

There's the possibility it could be added in a latter upgrade if the hardware can support it.

You could try it per those instructions and see what happens... at the worst it won't load or you just uninstall the added apps if you can't get it to run.
[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] ShaDisNX255:
Have to disagree. It's completely doable, but with root and custom edits. Not easy, but not impossible. Been using it successfully on A71, A52 and A52s, phones that have SoCs that never had it before.

[Vivo X Fold] Seanmmvi:
So Chomp + dark mode works?

What about Textra, have you tried that?
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
I tried Textra, and it does receive notifications in system wide dark mode, however when you tap on Android Assistant and give it voice commands like send a text message to, it insists on opening the default Vivo app. I found by trial and error that Chomp displays notifications in system wide dark mode and is opened automatically when I use the Android assistant voice commands.

Hows the battery life? I was thinking if/when I get it to reduce the hz to 60... I don't really care about 120hz, it's nice and all, but if it significantly increases the battery life, that's a trade I would make. Hz for battery
