[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] espionage724:
Going from 5.1.5 to 9.0.9 via Local upgrade with OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_034_all_1909112343_31f86cec5f8d4c7b.zip fixed wifi. Looks like the unbrick methods aren't doing full restores and likely left whatever is controlling wifi at a version higher than the OS could utilize.

Time to go mess with more OTA updates in this somehow undocumented mess even though there's like 5 mass-unbrick threads with varying links :p

Came from Lineage 20, trying to install another rom. Can now only reboot to bootloader. Can't get into fastboot, recovery, anywhere.

When i power off, devices will just reboot/bootloop.

Any help would be appreciated

Good luck!
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] HopelesRomantc91:
So can you define bootloader in this context? Because I thought that fastboot and bootloader are essentially the same, since using "reboot bootloader" command boots to fastboot whether in fastboot or adb.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] hawki:
Yup, they're essentially the same, but you can also get into a fatboot screen depending on rom/recovery. Regardless, rebooted a few times, and ADB minimal was finally able to detect device and run commands
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] xdauser1620:
Some devices using fastbootd. This means after you enter into fastbood you have to reboot to fastbootd.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmmarG240:
Hi Forum Staff & People,

I am new here, read all the rules, hopefully i'll be right about this post's posting place.

I have Redmi Note 8 Pro, having specs:

6GB RAM

128GB Storage

MIUI Global 12.5.8

Android 11.

I have noticed that suddenly one item of my internal storage ate all the space which is System Files.

And whenever i make more space, it eats that too.

And this is really frustrating...

All RecycleBin data or Global Trash etc is clean.

When i try to see inside System Files item, it shows inexplorable couple of items.

I tried to see inside System Files through other file explorers like Solid Explorer but i couldn't find anything.

So, please tell me how can i see inside this item and delete it's space consumption?

Can root or other method let me see inside this item?

Pictures are attached.

Thanks,

Ammar

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmirulAndalib:
why not just reset your phone? troubleshooting wont work at this point.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmmarG240:
1- resetting will most probably bring this space consumption problem again.

2- i don't want to do it because of my data and other things e.g. browser sessions.

ok then there is nothing more left to help you out. Enjoy !
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmmarG240:
Come'on bro, have some mercy on me...

I can move data to pc to make space in my phone, so that i can get enough space to troubleshoot the problem via softwares like twrp(perhaps. It's just an example) or perhaps you can tell me etc and fix it.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmirulAndalib:
You can move your important data to cloud or PC and reset your phone. If that issue persists then, I will try to help you for more advanced troubleshooting, resetting your phone is the first step of troubleshoot.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmmarG240:
Ohhhhhhhhhhkkkkkk if you say so.

At least tell me one off-topic question, that does ROOTING allow a person to:

1- See system files and folders; which are otherwise inexplorable or non-actionable, let's say if i want delete some big cache files from systems folder?

2- merge sdCard and intStorage and make it one storage?

3- let all or some apps installations on sdCard?

Thanks,

Since you are the first one to respond and also seems to know about phone stuff, so asking different off-topic questions(which may have been asked before one or more times) on a non-relevant thread may annoy the staff or non-staff people and also it's convenient for me because i can quickly contact you, and also i'll not be violating any XDA rules.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmirulAndalib:
hi again, my email seems to be wrong, my email is amirulandalib9@gmail.com
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AmmarG240:
so, i have done the reset(infact i wiped the phone through RecoveryMode) and obviously it has worked, fixed the problem, now "system files" seems to be in a reasonable space consumption.

BUT, this reset has really annoyed me because i lost a few things but not exactly lost, means the data at UI/frontend level it is lost but at backend level it is present, in the form of "app data", so "app data" since in its raw form can't be used so it is a lost data.

This "app data" is of youtube, chrome and whatsapp.

For youtube it was downloaded offline videos and for chrome i had multiple tab groups.

So i put the app data in internal storage's android folder in the relevant folders e.g. com.android.chrome etc, but it didn't work.

Although whatsapp doesnot seems to be a problem 'cause i'll delete it's app data from android folder, delete the app and reinstall it and then i'll restore it from cloud.

So, now i'll have to find a way for the rest of the two apps... 🤒

SO, overall my problem is solved and this thread can be considered closed. I hope this problem does not arise again. 👍

Thanks Andalib.

Hello everybody,

I've a problem after installing lineageOS 20 (Android 13) on my old Samsung Galaxy J5.

After installation, the Play store didn't work, along with CameraGO.

Someone knows if I should install a previous (stable) version of Android?

[Android Head-Units] reaL3ty:
Hello all, I entered my car two days ago and noticed that the Android head unit all of a sudden stopped working and just showed a black screen. Since then, I have been using the car with no audio, and no buttons work besides locking the car and the hazard warning lights. I had a quick check online and wanted to see if other people had suggestions and fixes for the problem.

So far, I have checked all the fuses, even the one in the head unit itself and unplugged and replugged all the cables.

I'm not really a novice car person, however, if anyone could provide a fix with a youtube video tutorial, that would significantly improve my confidence to have an attempt at the provided solution.

Also, I have had this head unit in my car for about a year now.
[Android Head-Units] scousemartin:
have you tried disconnecting the power cable from the back of the screen to power it off completely. Might have crashed
[Android Head-Units] reaL3ty:
Yeah, I have disconnected that, also every cable from the head unit and no changes. I got a suggestion to disconnect the main battery negative cable for 10 minutes from someone else, which I will give a shot.

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Droid3719:
Hi, all -

I have a Pixel 4 running IodeOS with both TWRP and Magisk installed. I have been trying to install a boot animation zip from https://xdaforums.com/t/bootanimations-collection.3721978/ by replacing the bootanimation.zip at /system/media, but I get an error 34 "error writing to target file" in Total Commander every time I try. I tried remounting /system as rw, but I still got the same error. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong...

I also tried installing some boot animations as Magisk modules. They looked like they installed, but upon reboot the original boot animation was still there.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get this boot animation zip installed?

Thanks much for the help!

I was really looking forward to the audio player that's built in with cover art etc, man I can't navigate that thing to save my life! Its so weird I cant get any play lists going that aren't basically like just 1 whole album, I feel like a moron when trying to use it, is it just me? I also have all those stupid ATT installed albums that I cant get rid of, for me the audio player was a huge disappointment.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rcll:
Get rid of the stock ATT ROM, its horrible.

You will have a completely new phone if you flash any of the nonbloated cooked ROMs.

The biggest performance tweak I've seen is setting the touch screen sensitivity way higher so it acts almost like an iPhone's capacitive touch screen that barely needs any pressure to register. A responsive touch screen really changes the experience dealing with this phone compared to stock. Try setting the sensitivity with Advanced Config, follow this link from the author: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2546088&postcount=112
[OnePlus 9] KyoceraHelp:
Hello, I spent the better half of 2 days trying to fix this and I got no results until today!

Below are easy instructions to fix this issue and get you back your T Mobile OnePlus 9 5G LE2117

I am assuming you are starting from a completely bricked phone, however if you have already installed the INDIA OP9 Pro image you can skip to step 3.

Step 1

-Boot your device into edl mode. For me, when my phone was bricked it was as simple as just plugging it in, but if it is not the case for you, hold the volume down and up for 30 seconds and plug in the phone then.

Step 2

-Download the India Variant MSM Tool Below.

ONEPLUS India Image.7z

drive.google.com

Once downloaded launch the tool as administrator and check USE LITEFIREHOSE.

If your phone is connected and ready hit start, and wait for it to complete.

Once its done it should boot you into the android os, but your sim will not work and your camera dot will be out of place.

Continue the setup, (Make sure you connect to wifi).

Once done with that please enable developer options and turn on USB Debugging and enable oem unlock.

Step 3

-Boot your device into fast boot mode, and with adb your going to want to oem unlock the phone again..

I'm assuming since you got the device bricked in the first place you have already done this so you should only need to input the following command through adb.

fastboot flashing unlock

Once done with this power off the device and boot back into edl mode.

Once there please download the msm tool from below.

ONEPLUS 9 5G T Mobile CMSM Tool.7z

drive.google.com

And with the files from that link your going to launch the msm tool as administrator and check USE LITEFIREHOSE.

and hit start.

Once this process is completed everything should be back to normal when you reboot!

I spent so much time looking for different walkthroughs of this, and while I'm sure they would have worked great for some, the only software that did it for me was in these specific download links as far as for this model of phone, so I really hoped this helped someone out!

[Google Pixel Watch] mdianov87:
Good afternoon. My name is Max. The Google Pixel Watch was bought in Moldova, but brought from Germany. Now the situation is such that the Google Assistant does not work in the watch, it writes that it is not currently available in our country (although everything worked on the old watch with Wear OS). It doesn’t work yet, or rather it’s not in the Full Detection settings (also due to the fact that I’m in Moldova). And in our country now there is no support for E-sim. E-sim works on the phone. Please tell me, is it necessary to wait for updates or what can be done to make the watch work properly? I love this watch very much. I've been waiting a long time to buy them. Thanks to all!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Thomasz25:
I hope that I don't post in the wrong deparment.

But I have a quite annoying issue with my Android ( Samsung Galaxy Tab A7- SMT-505).

As everybody knows that this device come with pre- installed ( Default) Apps from Google- And that's what's my issue.

Not that all of them are failing( since I've manage to deactivate most of the apps), but the most annoying app is Google Maps.

Not only that this app is incompatible with my device as it is( since Samsung didn't manage to put any product development in this app), but the most annoying thing about this app is that the app constantly ( was from beginning) is crashing,draing my battery( get constant error messages of high battrey consumption) etc etc.

It doesn't get any better if the app gets older( rather in the opposite direction)

As everybody know this app is impossibel to update( if you don't buy the latest device with the latest Android).

As in my case since I have Android 10- the version was 10 someting. Because however I myself had made this misstake of updating the app from Play- store.

What happed was that the app disabled me from charging my device. But I managed to fool the system so I can charge, but only if the battery drops <5%.

Since that newer apps don't have any compatibility backwards,you only can ( must have) the newest version.

But what's more astonishing is that Google themselves only tells me to perform an factory reset( as like many other things if you vontact any support today).

So its more of an menthality of " We don't know/ have any clue"

I myself had tryed many things what in normal circumstanses would work on an regular PC( Computer with an traditional Win based on runable exe- files).

But since an app don't have any exe- file( program register file) it seems that the only left possibility is to whipe the whole program register from skratch.

Because however I myself had tryed to find any clues how to disable/ delete this app( and than from skratch reinstall), but failed.

But at the other hand of sight I found it quite rediculus that there seems not to be any responsibel support for that.

Because the most reasonable one should be Google,but this is rather an NO to this answer.

At the other hand if you contact Samsung,they don't take any responisiblity since they classify this apps as 3: rd party.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] karagiozhs:
Hi all,

I have Redmi Note 11S and a few days back I got the MIUI Global 14.0.3 update.

I am almost 100% certain that this update is the reason for YouTube (and Vanced) having problems ever since. Specifically:

YT videos start playing and after a minute or three, the video is stuck in loading (circle on the screen meaning buffering). It never resumes, or very rarely and only shortly before it gets stuck again.

It is NOT a problem with settings (I cleaned YT data and cache a few times), it is not a network-speed issue, it is not a settings issue.

I read a lot of posts on the web complaining about MIUI + YT problems but could not find any working solution.

Ideas? Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I figured out one more thing: While YT seems to work ok most of the times (after some data wipes?), Vanced additionally gets stuck when double-tapping the video to fast-forward.

Something seems wrong with the video reproduction...

cheers,

Hey guys, I made a topic today regarding to my battery life and the raphael. Instant messaging programs like Beejive drain my battery very fast. And the default instant messenger that comes with the phone doesnt really work very well. I am apparently signed in, but dont receive messages.

Anyway , I was wondering if there was any kind of messenger that didnt drain battery and worked. I am a former sidekick LX user, and the one thing i liked about that phone was the messaging capabilities. Even if i lose service, i still got my messages when I got service again, and i am afraid of missing important messages because of not being connected to data at the time i receive them.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Thomasz25:
I myself has an Samsung Galaxy Tab A7( as in tab).

But as everybody knows you also need an Samsung Members account( as of my point of wiev is an custom version of an Google account).

That's what my problem is.

As everybody know that Samsung had updated their terms; so this mean that I need an vaild phone nr( so I can recive an SMS With an unique code).

But since not everybody whan't to use thier "private"( the nr wich is a personal phone nr with an operator), and uses insted temporary ( cash card nr).

Since this nr is only vaild for a short period of time ( aprox 1 year after they was loaded).

Because in older times it was much easier to perform an factory reset,since you didn't have any 2 step verification.

So since I don't have any possiblility to this nr,and there is no option to set any other phone nr- the only possibel option is to create a new Google account( Samsung Members)
