Are you flashing the patched AP file in Odin?

You can also try flashing TWRP, then install Magisk in TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] hopethisworksout:
I just bought a used SM-T377W (Tab E 8") running Android 7.1 and though it isn't password locked, it turned out to have a Samsung account logged in, which I don't have the password for.

I'll be flashing it eventually, but in the mean time, it's ok... except there is a software update it hadn't downloaded/installed... and now it has, but I'm not sure whether to install it or not... worried it might ask me for that Samsung account password and lock me out.

Anyone know for sure?

Hello guys,

I have an old phone Infinix note 3 X601 which I haven't used since years, I got it out today and after turning it on I did a reset factory, and after the reset factory was done the phone won't bootup anymore when I turn it on it goes to the boot loader screen and give me this message at the bottom "[!] Data couldn't be decrypted and mounted. Please restart recovery from Power Menu" and when I press restart recovery nothing happens it go back to the same screen, but this is not the official boot loader because back then when I was using it I rooted it and installed Carliv Touch Recovery boatload instead of the official and also I had a custom Rom installed.

Can someone help me, please ?

Also, I tried to flash another rom but when I open SP flash tool it seems that it isn't detecting the phone no matter what I do, tried to install media tek driver auto installer and CDC drivers but nothing happened

I'm using windows 10 latest update

attached a photo of the screen I get when I turn on the phone

So I have 2 different USB drives that I am using with my 4K fire stick. I formated to Fat32 using my PC but they were not recognized. Turned the stick off for 5 minutes the fire stick recognized the USB stick as far as formatting it but it doesn't show any increasdd storage.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
So I "woke up" my P7P and now for the first time since I bought my P7P, in the top righthand corner along with the Battery and WiFi icons is a teeny tiny little key and a circle with a minus sign in it. I have not the foggiest idea where these icons came from or what they signify.

What do they mean and how did they get there?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
The key usually suggests a VPN and the circle with a minus sign is Do Not Disturb.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Okay, thank you.

While you were replying to my question, I turned my P7P off, plugged it into the charger, and turned it back on. The key no longer appears.

So I used the Assistant to find VPN. Then I tapped "Google One", then I tapped its "gear" icon, and a Google One screen appeared.

Displayed on that screen were "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN", and those were greyed out. Below those options was "Forget VPN" but I did not tap it because I never used VPN and the "key" icon was also not displayed.

Could the "key" icon refer to something else?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Some adblockers use a key icon when used in VPN mode rather than root mode.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
Key must be vpn, maybe it somehow accidently got turned on.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
I don't think so. VPN is not turned on in my P7P, and the teeny tiny Key is no longer present since my #3 post.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
I know, I was just saying their must have been a VPN on, or phone thought there was, for that icon to show. I almost always use a vpn, that is the icon for vpn. My rom has status bar icon manager and I can hide the key by toggling vpn.

Well now owning a Pixel i see no reason to stick with Motorola or any other manufacturer. I mean Samsung does make Pixel Parts so I have to try to like Samsung as i don't Like Samsung due to they Lock down the BOOTLOADER on all US models (U).

Pixel devices they can't.

I have three major reasons why Pixel is the way to go.

1.UPDATES.

I've already had three updates and a software update in less than 2 months.

Motorola nor a dev can keep up with timely updates like a Billion dollar company like Google.

2.Security.

Monthly but not on time every month Security patches. ill take a security patch once a month rather than every 6 months like Motorola and others..

3.Pixel Exclusive perks.

I love the now playing feature, hold for me,

text to speech, translator,AOD customizable on (A14), spacial audio, live transcribe, voice assistance, so many more.

Motorola stock features don't come close nor does CUSTOM ROMS to Pixels overall PURE android experience.

Conclusion I'm running beta 3 Android 14 with hardly no bugs and two months away the final release will be available.

Lets see if Motorola can one day give us want we really want. Google listens to the consumers I've noticed..

Im daily driving Android 14 and it feels good to be first rather than last...:)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batata004:
Hi,

I am on latest Android (Samsung smartphone) and I like to use multi window a lot, and it works great. I can have an app running at the top and another app at the bottom. There is a small horizontal line between the 2 apps that I can drag to increase and decrease the window size (if I make the height of the app at the top bigger then the app at the bottom gets smaller automatically). Sometimes I want the app at the bottom to have a very small height but unfortunatelly if I drag the splitter to a small height dimension, android will cancel the multi window.

The multi window with the splitter is awesome, but that's a really terrible decision to not allow an app to have a very small height and the other a very big height. And the problem is not with the app, because I am the developer of both apps and even setting minHeight to 1dp, Android never allows the apps to have a height smaller than 20-30% of the screen height. Why? Is there a way to fix it, something like in the Developer options?

[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Anyone know if the motherboard failure cause has been discovered on the Pixel 5/5a?

I'm willing to open the phone up and see what DIY solution I can get to repair my Pixel 5a. It will not boot and only outputs the QUSB device message through USB (I'm assuming stuck EDL mode).

It would be nice to know what causes the problem before digging in blindly.
[Google Pixel 5a] V0latyle:
The only thing I can imagine from my own technical knowledge would be possible manufacturing defects, similar to the RROD on the Xbox 360. I've never had a problem with my Pixel 5, but my wife's 5a suddenly froze one day with the same result as you. We ended up having the motherboard replaced under warranty.

If you're especially enterprising you can try disassembling the device and very carefully reflowing the solder with a heat gun...but this is assuming it's a hardware problem. There's a possibility of a SoC problem that randomly corrupts certain parts of memory, resulting in a failed bootloader, but troubleshooting this would be at the level of Qualcomm internal engineering - and Qualcomm/OEMs don't even fix stuff like this, they just replace the board and call it a day.
[Google Pixel 5a] MikeDev101:
I'm curious as to why this happens as well. My 5a is still working, but it's only a matter of time.

I hypothesize the 5a suffers from a similar issue that the LG G4 had, overheating and/or poor quality solder. I still have a G4 and throwing it in a oven for a bit usually fixes it for long enough so I could migrate.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
I've been able to randomly boot the phone twice using the power + vol up + vol down combination, but I cannot get it to work again. The fact that I was able to get the phone boot at all when it was in this state makes me think it isn't a corrupt software/bootloader, but something hardware related.

I was hoping to avoid having to reflow the whole motherboard. I don't want to accidently cause other damage. But if it must be done, I may have to resort to that.

The main reason for this endeavor is the need to get important un-backed up data of the phone. I know I should have had it backed up, but I would never expect a phone to just crap out like this.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Could you explain more about the process you used for the G4 and the oven? How long, what temps, etc...?
[Google Pixel 5a] MikeDev101:
I extracted the motherboard, put it on a wax cooking sheet in a pan, put it in the oven preheated to at least 360F (it's been forever so I don't recall the exact temp). I left it to reflow for like 10 minutes, and put it out to cool for half an hour. Re-assembled it and powered it on with it laying on a ice pack wrapped in a small cloth to keep it cool and minimalize condensation while I recovered data. YMMV.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Thanks! This sounds more promising than me attempting fine precision heat gun maneuvers.

Were there components on both sides of the motherboard? Is there a risk of something falling off the bottom when in the oven?
[Google Pixel 5a] MikeDev101:
On the G4, most of it is covered by a metal shield that doubles as a heatsink for some components (I modded my G4 to have cooling pads on the SoC and wireless chips post-reflow, as well as modifying the chassis of the phone to act as one giant heatsink).

As long as it stays relatively still, it should be fine. I'm judging that based on the fact that my oven has a small recirculating fan inside, so as long as that's turned low or off, it should be ok.

I recommend not touching it after reflow for like 5 minutes so the solder can cool down enough to harden before putting it out to return to room temp. Being too hasty could accidentally disconnect a component or two.

Edit: Yes, there was components on both sides. The 5/5a should be a very similar story. Of course, I recommend keeping a close eye on the motherboard, I would hate for you to accidentally cook it.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Thanks for all the detail! I really appreciate it!
[Google Pixel 5a] V0latyle:
I wouldn't actively cool the board if you try the oven method. Just turn the oven off and let it cool down by itself in the oven. Using ice or cold air is a good way to thermally stress the board to the point where it might fracture, and with the extremely fine pitch components, that would be fatal.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Should I remove the metal plates and heat pads if any when I got to do this over the weekend? Or will those all be ok still on the motherboard?
[Google Pixel 5a] sampathjanitha:
Mine gone into a boot loop while I was doing an nearby share. It was a tv series and files were bit big.

I think it was due to corrupted memory as v0latyle mentioned.

Couldn't find any solution yet.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
I hope it's not corrupted memory and a physical issue. Since I am able to randomly get it to boot and turn on for about 5 mins (about 1 in 100 tries), I don't believe it's a software issue.

I still need to try reflowing the solder on the board and hope that it's a loose memory chip or something.
[Google Pixel 5a] sampathjanitha:
Have you tried it and got any results?
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Still haven't tried yet. It's been difficult finding time with the baby not being predictable these last few weeks. I have gotten the phone screen off, but haven't gotten to the motherboard yet.
[Google Pixel 5a] sampathjanitha:
Plz give us an update once you were able to test it.

I have brought back my phone from the repair shop,

They have re flashed the eeprom, but there's no luck.

Still getting into stuck at Google image.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Bad news. Tried reflowing the motherboard tonight. Baked in the oven at 390F (200C) for 10 minutes. I could smell the flux/solder when it was baking, so I assume it was at a good temperature for reflow. Put it all back together and still no boot. Can still get the QUSB device over USB though, so I didn't cook it too much.

I'm at a loss now unless someone has any other ideas. I really just need to get the files off pf the device.
[Google Pixel 5a] sampathjanitha:
So the oven method does not work on this device.
[Google Pixel 5a] paulgiro:
Seems like it doesn't. I also took off the heatsink/covers on the chips and inspected for any burnt looking parts. I didn't see anything conspicuous either.
[Google Pixel 5a] zakk87:
I think you need a reballing
[Google Pixel 5a] raghav22385:
I was using Spotify when my pixel 5a's screen decided to go blank like 2 weeks ago and i havent been able to get it to boot ever since. It is totally unresponsive, doesnt go into fastboot doesnt charge doesnt connect to a laptop. I wonder if it is the same issue. However i tried one more thing, i put it on charge and tried connecting my wired headphones and i could hear the charge as i was connecting the headphones
[Google Pixel 5a] atlr:
I have a 5a failure too.

I discovered a repair shop named Northridgefix in California will reball the Qualcomm SoC. Turnaround is 4 to 8 weeks.

I ended up not trying their service because data recovery was not a priority for me.
[Google Pixel 5a] nealieb:
I personally think is a over heating issue ? My Pixel 5 has reached some hot to touch tempatures while out on my bike (quadlock lol) which might cause some components to damage/warp !

keep it under warranty...

Neal,

[Google Pixel 5a] Yeedatoy:
There's at least 2 separate issues here because some people have their device get the "black screen of death" and it's stuck in EDL mode and others like myself the phone still works and boots fine and can even be reflashed but still has just a black screen. I have to rule out connection issues here like a loose ribbon/wire because of the way it happens. The device almost always faces some sort of lockup where an app becomes unresponsive and then a few seconds later the display goes black

Before starting you must understand what driver will be good for you

Best Battery Backup: 530 (Stock)

Balanced Battery Backup and Performance: 682

Performance: 707

[Experimental] Maximum Performance: 725

FAQ:

Q) Some app is not working after using the drivers what to do?

A) Add that app to magisk hide and it will work since it's gonna use stock (530) drivers now

Q) Battery Backup is not good on drivers

A) ofcourse battery backup will be reduced and phone temperatures will be increased since you're squeezing out as much performance as possible from your phone

Q) So and So person is having better performance than me, why is that?

A) Every SOC (Processor) is built different (silicon lottery) so it is quite normal for some people to perform better than others

Q) My games have started stuttering after using the drivers what should I do?

A) This is because the driver wipes shader cache when installing to prevent unnecessary errors, just run your games for 10-15mins and you should be fine

Steps to Use:

First and foremost!

PLEASE flash Bootloop Protector in magisk and select Patch my boot image and then Reboot

Now choose the file you like and then go to magisk and flash it then reboot and you're done!

Performance Uplifts provided:

682: Provides 10-12% Performance Uplift over stock 530 drivers in GPU based scenarios
