[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jrdef:
I remember installing wps office app when my device restarted to install the system update, it's my main suspect about what caused the bootloop. Well, I appreciate your sugestion but could you please guide me in this proccess? I'm new to Samsung and the last time I managed to use ADB commands was in Motorola, now in samsung I guess I'm not doing the procedure as I should. I'm really desperate, not only because I need my device for everything but mainly because I really don't want to lose my data :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
Well it could be the problem. The problem is that with a unlocked phone (via TWRP) we can use ADB commands.

Put your phone on download mode and try this fastboot command:

fastboot reboot recovery

or

fastboot reboot bootloader

then try:

List all disabled apps:

root@hammerhead:/ # pm list packages -d

package:com.android.calculator2

package:com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.hindi

package:jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.ml

package:com.google.android.inputmethod.pinyin

package:com.google.android.inputmethod.korean

package:com.google.earth

root@hammerhead:/ #

and tell me what apps are disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jrdef:
Yeah, sadly my device is locked, but thanks for the tip. Well if you have any other ideas I would really be grateful. At the moment I really wanting to try to boot in safe mode but couldn't
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
Only thing i can say is flash another region ROM maybe
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] wgs1028:
This happened to me during an update almost exactly one year ago. My SM-G781V soft-bricked while installing an OTA update, and I found a solution for it last week. At the time this happened last year, the S20 FE was my primary (read:eek:nly) driver, and I don't know how many hours I spent researching a way to fix it. I cared nothing about my files; I just wanted my phone back. Factory reset did not fix my problem. Flashing new firmware did not fix my problem, as I flashed a few different versions, several "passed" the ODIN parameters that needed to be met, but it would not boot. The error logs read, sometimes among other errors but always there itself, "unable to set property 'ro.boottime.init.mount.cache.'" I gave up after some time and picked up the S22 Ultra, but I would occasionally try to pull the S20 FE out of the bootloop, to no avail, until last week. Here's what I did differently than what I had done prior to: (1) I used SamFW frp bypass tool and ran the tool bc I remembered reading somewhere, when flashing custom ROMs on my OnePlus 8 pro, that before flashing any new firmware or OS, one should disable security features (lock screens, fingerprint unlock, encryption, etc...) on the device bc those security features could possibly interfere with the flashing of the device; and (2) I flashed another region's firmware with a patched ODIN 3.14.1found here on XDA. I hope you can figure it out without factory resetting it, but if you cannot, do dm me and I'll gladly share information I found to be somewhat helpful in recovering my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jrdef:
Which do you sugest? It wouldn't compromise the integrity of the system features and stuff?

Glad you responded. Well I sure gonna contact you to get more info about your attempts and I hope work out my issue. Thhanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
The AUT - Swiss ROM was very good with my experience, but it depends on what model is yours.

What is it btw?

Also this error you guys are having sound like you are flashing a S20 FE ROM from a different variant

Anyone else experiencing huge Phone Idle battery drain? Prior to the March update it was around 2ish%, now it's averaging 12-15%

Yes. mine was 4% over night with Bluetooth off. During the day it was very bad, with BT on. Tonight I'll go to bed @100% with BT on and see how it is. In the past, Blutooth was a major wakelock on this phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] K1nsey6:
Prior to the March update my battery was pretty good
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
For me it's still super good, using it often enough, start with 90, go to bed with 50-70% depending how much I used it (where with 50% it was a lot!)

I do have all the wiz disabled plus a load of google stuff.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] old_fart:
I stumbled onto AccuBattery Pro and am glad it spells out discharge rate in percentages. Yaa... Camera is the most at 17%/H. Next is the Phone at 5.6%/H. Sitting near wi-fi most of the time, I suppose I cheat the phone's ugliness. And I just turn mobile data off with Better Internet Tiles. Now days I sit at home a lot and the cell towers are far away and crap. Damn. At work at the credit union, the cell tower was actually on the roof !
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
What? Did u voice type that? That makes no sense. What r u doing to get good battery life?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] toscha42:
Idle drain here is about 0.6 %/h, satisfying enough for me. Nothing tinkered everything on stock. I just don't use AoD. WiFi and two SIM cards always active, no flight mode. Don't need Bluetooth hence off as well.

And of course no snake oil like Naptime.

Cheers

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Disabled everything I don't need. Use as little apps as needed. No gaming except Wordfeud ;}

Lots of Chrome use though, covers most of my needs.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Wiz?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
The AI stuff that Google added. Switching most of that off saves quite a bit of juice.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Like what specifically?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Adaptive battery off

Smooth display off

Live translate off

Digital assistant off

Covid notifications off

Disable all unneeded apps (ymmv)

Etc
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
Or leave all that stuff turned on and use Naptime... It's quite useful unlike most battery apps.

Naptime - the real battery sav - Apps on Google Play

Makes your device sleep faster to save precious battery life when you need it

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I always worry about Apps where the latest reviews are 3 years old
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
Agreed, but it works - even though the last release was 2 years ago...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaythenut:
May as well get a iPhone turning all the Google off lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
I just did a short test result of my P7P (running AncientOS) using Naptime+

Without it, i would have lost ~2% in the same time.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Isn't this like greenify?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
It might be. I haven't tried Greenify...

The latest update of Greenify was 2 years prior to the latest Naptime update though, so I assume Naptime is designed for a higher SDK target. I could be wrong, but it works. It even allowed my scheduled backups to run.

The phone used 18% battery over night including two complete phone backups, one to internal storage, and the other to a local SFTP server. They take just over an hour to do and the phone usually gets warm while they run, but I usually have it plugged in. Last night, I left it on battery just to see.

Generally, when it's in deep doze, it uses about 1.5% per hour.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
So you assign apps for Naptime to force to stop working in the background? After doing so you still saw 1.5%/hr idle drain? R u in bad cell area? It's ridiculous that our p7p's use battery like this. Anything over . 4%/hr idle drain in 2023 is unacceptable and it should be lower than that when on wifi.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
Maybe you should get a Nokia 2280 - they last for weeks on standby but aren't terribly useful anymore :D

When I first kanged it, it was using 18% per hour... 3%/2 hours is alright for me...

I don't use it to prevent background apps, it just enables deep doze and Battery Saver when the screen is turned off... I could configure it to stop wifi/data/gps/location/google services, but I don't feel the need for that level...

I also don't f*ck around - I have a battery case for it. Wifi Debugging is usually connected, too.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Ok thanks. You're using Naptime via root? It sounds like greenify's "aggressive doze" feature where it does exactly as the name suggests and dozes the phone quickly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kodabmx:
Yes, I'm rooted... And I made a donation to unlock the experimental features.

Tonight, I will turn on all of the options (like dozing play services and disabling all radio and motion detection) and see how that is for battery life. OTOH, at that point, why not just turn off the phone?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] K1nsey6:
So youve neutered your smart phone for battery life?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
I improved it. We all have different priorities I guess.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I'm going to try it too, and I also made a donation. I set it to turn on all the options tonight, but it's not at night I lose battery. It's during the day that this months update seems like it's draining the battery super fast
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I must be doing something wrong. I added this naptime at 6PM @84%, barely used my phone other than a few texts. Went to bed at 10:30 it was at 70%, woke up 5 hours later, it was at 65%.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Are you using BBS or accubattery? Do u have any listed wakelocks (if you're using BBS)?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I don't use any of those. I've had BBS and some other battery program but never did see much use out of them. It's this March update, The Feb version was stellar. I might do backup and wipe to make sure I don't have something hanging. In Top command, Surfaceflinger is using about 13% of my CPU. Never see that one up there before

Ice Box - Apps freezer - Apps on Google Play

Freeze and hide apps rarely used. Please read instructions before installation!

play.google.com

I've had good luck with Ice Box. Put apps like Facebook in it. They will not wake up. You can set it up to only wake apps when charging. And you can put shortcuts to the frozen apps on your home screen. Kind of like they are disabled until you need them.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] trevagreene:
Yes. I lost 30% last night. Minimal apps installed. In a 5g area. All seemed to be used by 'mobile network'. This started around feb/march
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I never have 5G enabled. I set my Network to LTE. It's a phone. I don't need high-end gaming/streaming speeds on a phone, not to mention, when you're on the edge of a 5G signal, it causes battery drain and the speed is slow as heck
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] trevagreene:
I'm going to give that a go. I've set it to 4g. I'll see how it goes over the next few nights
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ericDraven77:
Yesterday I set the option Adaptive Contection to "off" and disabled the App in my Options (Need to show System apps to find it).

Now my battery drain over night was 20%, which is 15% over normal before march update, but is 15% lower then before disabling Option and app.

Maybe sombody else could try and have luck with it.

April update hopefully solves the problem fully. Will reset my phone before the update and update then to have it back to normal battery drain. Till then I hope I can live with a bit higher consumption as it is now "OK" for me to get over the day.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Josh:
I'm on March update TQ2A.230305.008.C1 factory reset and install Kirisakura kernel. On wi fi and some camera photos Instagram WhatsApp Facebook lite has 7 hours sot. Last night going to bed with 87 % and wake up with 82% disable adaptive connection,no wi fi no data nothing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
There may be something to disabling adaptive connections. I disabled it last night and put my phone on the charger while I was driving to work. Got there four hours ago and it was at 97%. I’ve been using it pretty good over the four hours and it’s at 90% right now which is a massive Upgrade from how it’s been since I flashed the March update.

Another thing, being in a low signal zone will cause battery drain, and the March update has absolutely destroyed connectivity and signal strength. I consistently have SiriusXM drop in places where it never did before. Phone calls dropping when I’m sitting at my house, which never happened before. Or trying to upload forms where I have two or three bars, and the upload just hangs.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
What are the ramifications of turning off adaptive connectivity though? If I walk out of my house while I on wifi calling, lose wifi connection, and the phone has to switch to cellular connection for the call am I going to drop that call? Is it going to hang on dead air where I won't be able to hear the person on the other end of the line or vice versa?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
That has not been my experience going from Wi-Fi to cell signal and those issues I visited with signal we’re happening before I disabled adaptive connectivity
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ericDraven77:
My battery drain from today: Pluged the phone out at 10:30am and until 21:15 pm it was on 46%. The mobile network used 88% of it according to the battery usage.

Since 21:17 I disabled mobile network with the rest still running (Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS).

Since this disabling it drained only 2% till now. Before this it was 5% per hour. Since then that is 1% per hour!

Don't know what I can do anymore....

eSim? Full wipe?

Anyone any solution?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ericDraven77:
Did a Hard reset now... problem still the same as before.

Pisses me really off!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Newtonsart:
How much screen on time?

I think this is normal because the modem this device has is very inefficient. Use 4g not 5g, that saves a little bit more battery. But yeah I think for everyone is almost the same

In short - avbroot patched CalyxOS OTA has been sideloaded with Magisk Delta. This portion went fine and Magisk Delta app upon first run asked to perform additional steps (same message as raised by normal Magisk). Magisk Delta though did show options to:

Choose and patch file ( bootloader is locked with avbroot and I don't know how then incorporate patched file into OTA, as only OTA can be sideloaded).

Direct installation (recommended).

Install in inactive slot (after OTA).

Following recommendation under Magisk Delta thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-...third-party-magisk-fork.4460555/post-88323311), direct installation was used. Magisk shown usual patching steps and did restart.

From this moment I'm getting:

No valid operating system could be found.
The device will not boot.

Looking at bootloader message it shows that slot b is active - not sure if it should be that way and given bootloader is locked, I wasn't able to change it.

Thought about flash.android.com (Android Flash Tool) though it discovers device but then claims can't communicate - probably problem with bootloader lock.

This suggests me that I might be dealing with a brick more hard than soft and would appreciate any assistance you guys could provide. I do have keys used with avbroot to sign the image.

Should I be able to load that manually from bootloader level? Not sure if it is not impossible given bootloader is locked.

This is completely weird as I didn't touch anything in settings to disable bootloader unlocking.

p.s. it is partially cross-post from initial question/thread as result of which I ended up here: https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-...third-party-magisk-fork.4460555/post-88323311
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkadds2:
If I understand correctly, with bootloader locked - can I flash image signed with same keys as I had flashed previously? My biggest worry is that given I've ended up in slot b (not sure when/how), I don't know I should try to flash Google factory image (different from the one flashed, as it was Calyx OS patched and signed with avbroot) or that one signed by avbroot?

Second problem/question is, if it is the latter, signed by avbroot, by default it signs the full OTA and not full factory, so this might be another item to go around (probably easier as would be hopefully about finding avbroot option to do it).

I'm holding on with any steps as don't want to get into even worse situation than I am in at the moment.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRattus:
YES, if you have the same keys you can Still Flash images / OTA updates etc via adb sideload using recovery

You can edit the full install build using the signed images from the patched OTA so you can install the full install build as well, this is what I do with Graphene OS but I do build the full install build from source myself
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlynTwain:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRattus:
What ROM are you running? Calyx?

what is Fast Loading Mode? Safe Mode?

If you have the keys you used to sign the rom still, that is very good

Can you still boot into recovery to sideload ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechX1991:
first mistake is using Calyx. Terrible platform overall, but opinions aside

The only option here is if you can boot to Recovery, you can then adb sideload the OTA the same OS that matches the avbkey.

If you can't get to that, time to send it to google for Warranty Firmware Flashing as only they can do something about this. I wish the flash tools overall were public, but kinda understand why they aren't.

background on me, I work in data recovery. A good 65% of pixel's we see with similar "won't boot" scenarios have to be denied because we need the tools google uses to flash devices which gets around the bootloader lock. They aren't available to the public.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRattus:
What did you do to get into this situation? it's a bad sign if your recovery image is corrupt

If you have not disabled OEM Unlocking in the developer settings then you can unlock your bootloader, which will trigger a data wipe, but allow you to use the phone

If you cannot boot your phone with either Safe Mode or by booting into recovery so you can sideload, then I am not sure what options you have
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlynTwain:
In my country there is no support from google. The device will just go on the shelf, waiting for better times or the trash.:(

I just updated magisk without thinking.

Apparently I had the bootloader locked in the development menu (but I don't remember doing that).

I can't unlock it)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRattus:
I am surprised that just updating Magisk has made even the recovery unbootable, I have not experienced that before

Safe Mode would not work because that is more for the scenario where it's a magisk module causing the problem

I don't think you are able to flash anything via Fastboot, so you need to use Recovery Mode
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlynTwain:
Load in Recovery Mode - I can't.

Flash the signed one, too:

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

Sending 'vendor_boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.817s]
Writing 'vendor_boot_a' FAILED (remote: 'command (flash:) is not allowed when locked')
fastboot: error: Command failed

("boot" - exact same behavior )

Maybe it's the slot? Maybe it is possible to change the slot with some other commands?

The standard ones don't help...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRattus:
you cannot use fastboot flash because your bootloader is locked

afaik you need to use Recovery to adb sideload to be able to flash any images

Your device sounds like it's essentially soft bricked and you will need to send it to google or a repair place which has the appropriate tools to get around the boot loader lock, as said by TechX1991

Dear Community

I have a major issue with my OnePlus 9 Pro:

I had Nameless AOSP 13 installed and rooted.

I then tried to revert back to original OOS 13 using Advanced Fastboot and the original payload.bin.

But when I flashed the payload, I got stuck on the Qualcomm Crashdump Mode with no information and also no recovery mode.

So tutorials like these:

Simply don't work, since I don't have the menu to select fastboot / recovery, etc.

Of course I also tried MSMTool but that always fails at "Param preload failed" and I can't seem to fix it.

What can I do now?

Edit: This was also posted on the official OnePlus Forum because it's really urgent.

https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1293380945168039936

IMPORTANT:​

I seem to have fixed the problem:​

I basically had the wrong drivers installed, even though I downloaded them from oneplus for this exact phone.

I was able to fix the issue by installing the drivers via Windows Update. They will appear in the optional updates but that worked for me just fine.
