[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] KronwarsCZ:
Hello,

recently I started to play with my Honor 8X JSN-L21 Europe version and I wanted to install a custom ROM from MOS. The instructions said to downgrade my phone to EMUI9.0. I had EMUI10 installed, used HiSuite to downgrade, but it could only go down to EMUI9.1. So, after a little googling, I tried to flash official ROM using the update.app method. After many attempts which ended at 0% the phone finally started to "verify the image," only to stop at 3% and fail. After this i restarted my phone and it is totally bricked. No LED flashing, nothing on the screen, no fastboot/update mode.

The only thing that works now (my computer can see) is putting the phone in COM mode using test point.

I found on the internet some HiSilicon flashing tool that could help, but it doesn't detect my phone when I plug it in (Device Manager says Huawei COM1 - clearly it's connected). The only other option is to buy DX Phoenix and try it out.

Before buying the software, do you guys think it could help? I don't want to spend some $$$ on a software that might (not) work.

Thanks everyone!

Hi there,

I just updated my chinese vivo x80 pro to demoversion PD2185_A_13.1.11.12.W10.V000L1. Everything works fine, but unfortunately Google Playstore always shows me an error message if I wanna download or update any app. Is there any solution to get google playstore working again?
[Vivo X80 Pro] kenajanek:
I found a solution: Settings -> Account and sync. -> switch toggle for Google basic Services off and on (again).

Only Google assistant App not working now. If I click on the App Button nothing happens... No opening of the App or anything.
[Vivo X80 Pro] Washo4evr:
Thanks,

had the same issue after that update
[Vivo X80 Pro] Frodas:
Thanks a lot! It helped. Do you experience any problems with bluetooth devices? I just can't connect to my Polar strap and use it with application. It worked normal before update.

Hey everyone! I'm new to this website and I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post my issue :cautious:

So recently I bought this old version of IPEGA which is 9025 and it only worked on my old phone so I thought maybe it's cause of the firmware so I looked up online and found a newer version

and when I held both SELECT + START buttons and and used the USB cable the charge button didn't flash so I knew that it went to the update mode and when I tried to update it, it didn't show on my PC, I thought the gamepad was dead but it shows up on my PC's device manager and when I press the reset button it disappears which means it's still alive but it's stuck on the update mode, is there a way to get it back to normal? maybe if I disassemble it or something or do I toss it in the trash?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
check in windows device manager if device is visible (+ drivers installed)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaoZENx:
Not sure if it's installed cause it shows the ! mark but I installed the G910 drivers by clicking on the exe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
how is G910 drivers related to this gamepad?

however, if you think that is the right driver, unpack the drivers exe with 7-zip.

disable Windows Driver Signature enforcement (restart -> Startup Settings F7).

double click on that yellow triangle device -> Wt6573 -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer -> Show all devices -> Have Disk -> (select the *.inf of driver)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaoZENx:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] sandorex:
I've spent last day automating the guide at https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-t220-t225-flash-a-gsi-on-the-a7-lite-without-twrp.4456821/ into a bash script (linux only)!

Here it is releasing it for anyone that needs it

I am not responsible whatever happens to your device
by using this script, i have tested it on my own device
and it worked but it may or may not work for you.
I will do my best to help you but that may be limited
as i have other responsibilities in life

Before starting read the third post

Usage​

Download the your desired firmware from somewhere like samfw.com and extract it

Download your desired GSI image and extract it

Download otatools-mini, gsi-build script and vbmeta image, place them all together inside one directory (extract the otatools-mini next to the script)

Download patched odin

Run this in Linux or WSL!

$ ./build-gsi.sh <PATH TO YOUR AP FILE .tar.md5> <PATH TO GSI .img>

And let it do the work, may take a while depending on your PC

You may get something like this in the process, ignore it

Invalid sparse file format at header magic

Then go into download mode (VOLUME UP and DOWN when plugging in USB) and flash the CUSTOM_AP file you got from the script and BL, CSC from the firmware you used, DO NOT USE HOME_CSC

Reboot into recovery and factory reset (VOLUME UP while booting)!

If you are getting dm-verify error then flash the vbmeta_disabled_R (it needs to be .tar, extract it) in odin as AP and try rebooting again into recovery

Downloads​

I used to provide one archive but it was large and i couldnt change the script without reuploading it so i am going to use gist for the script and provide other files separately

ota-tools-mini

build-gsi.sh

If you want me to help you ALWAYS post full output from the script, and make sure to use the latest script from the gist
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] sandorex:
I've spent a lot of time trying to make it work with all GSIs but i could not get it to work consistently

By default it works for all smaller GSIs, if you get the following error

ERROR: Output image is bigger than original super image, rerun the script with correct super image size

Then you will have to manually provide the new super size which i cannot help you with try to guess but it has to be divisible by 512

Could you try normal AP file not the magisk patched, i do not know how it modifies it

Also from my experience you do not need to patch whole AP file for magisk, you just need to patch the boot.img, zip it then flash it

OK . i will try

i tried with original ap file but same error

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ktdt00:
Being able to use these GSI's is awesome and they really make my T220 much snappier BUT the limitations of auto-brightness, charging and charger access, etc. are really annoying. Making overlays, while cool, is also a huge PITA. Is there an easier way to do GSI and overlay all at once? Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] sandorex:
I do not know what limitations you are talking about or even what overlays are

Also this is not the place for GSI discussion please make a new thread
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ktdt00:
Hmmm... I could have sworn the title of this OP was about "Automated GSI Build Scripts". Would that not be a great place for asking about automating GSI build scripts to also include overlays, even if you don't know what they are?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] sandorex:
It's to my knowledge the only gsi build script, i have never seen overlays mentioned in forums for this tablet, i may be able to add it to the script if you could link me any
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ktdt00:
I don't think I've seen a forum for this tablet that discussed using GSI's that did not include something, or many somethings, about overlays?

Here's a forum search kinda showing what I mean...

https://xdaforums.com/search/56346857/?q=overlay&t=post&c[thread]=4456821&o=relevance

And here's some kinda generic informat about GSI's and overlays in general. I guess simply put, overlays add back functionality that exists in the stock firmware but is not represented in the GSI's UI or other frameworks. So like a Samsung tablet may be able to do X, Y and Z, but a generic Google GSI doesn't account for those specific features. Building an overlay adds those features back, or at the very least provides UI access to them.

Hello, thank you for your summary tutorial which enabled me to build, at last, an AP_CUSTOM.tar.md5 from magisk patched and a gsi LeOS-20. I had to intuitively adapt the command line that was causing me problems by adding "bash": macadam@Macadam:~/Bureau/Construction GSI/buid-gsi.sh$ bash ./build-gsi.sh magisk_patched.tar LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvN.img .

In addition, in the properties of lpunpack, lpmake and simg2img, I've ticked "allow this file to be executed as a program".

I haven't yet tested this on my tab a7 sm-t225 because I don't quite understand the order of the procedure. Should I first flash the custom with odin and then go to recovery for factory mode, or vice versa?

After working so hard to get this custom rom, I'm afraid I'm going to ruin everything... Thanks again for your work .

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afrowookie:
Hi all,

Looking for help and advice on how to downgrade and root my LG G3 D852 which is on Bell Canada.

I am trying to re-purpose this device and get android 10 on it, connect to my head unit via Android Auto, and use this mainly as a music player.

However after reading and trying all methods out there I am still unable to even downgrade. I was successful once but accidentally reloaded Marshmallow again. Didn't understand the version numbers. But now I got a 20F file, I am unable to load this on the G3. Forgot the method I used when it was successful, I have lost track.

I'm guessing here, but the issue seems to be the G3 itself and communication between my PC and between, LGup, and LG Flashtool. The laptop I am using sees it and recognizes it. Device manager says it is LGE Androidnet instead of all the tutorials saying it should be LG Mobile..., but when using flashtool for the downgrading progress only reaches 4% and gives me an error like it can't communicate with the device. Using LGup it reads the device as unknown. I have changed the port to 41 every time for all methods.

The only difference I see when trying all methods out there is the device manager sees the G3 as LGE androidnet...., Tutorials say phone has to be in MTP for communication, mine has to be in PTP. Flashtools can't or loses communication with phone during S/W updating part and only reaches 4%. LGup only sees phone as Unknown but does see the port 41.

I am at a loss here. Has anyone done this successfully for the Canada version of G3 D852. If so, can you point me in the right direction. TIA
