I suspect that this figure might include all "system" partitions from both slots - so it's not just /system, it's /system_a /_b + /boot (a/b) + /product (a/b)+ /vendor etc

Not terribly concerned about photos since I have free unlimited backup to Google Photos in the cloud

I don't store music on my phone, I stream everything

I keep my phone fairly utilitarian, I don't have any games or extra apps

So I still have 81GB free...that I don't use lol

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] Demrion:
Hello there,

on the phone is the stock rom and stock bootloader etc.

Thats the phone of my gf. She tried to open LoL Wild Rift, then the screen went black.

After a short time the ZTE screen was to see, so the Phone reboot. After a short time the screen went black again.

It keeps like that. I tried to go in recovery mode to restart it over that. I saw the buttons a short time and then it was black again.

Short time later the screen showed ZTE and Please Wait Crash dump.

After two hours the Screen was still there. I decided to turn off the device an start it again.

Since then i only see the ZTE screen sometimes until now. I want to try to boot it in EDL but i don't got it to the first screen anymore.

Are there some special button combinations to test?

Thanks for your help!

My device is ACER Iconia Tab8 A1-840 FHD.

I have installed ADB and Platform-tools on my Window 10 laptop.

ADB- and Fastboot drivers from

https://androidadbdriver.com/acer-iconia-tab-8-a1-840fhd-usb-drivers/

ADB commands runs perfect, but after setting the tablet in fastboot-mode I face problems.

Fastboot commands are answered "waiting for device".

I think the problem is a missing (correct) fastboot-driver, but can't find a solution.

I not experienced in android, and will be greatfull to any help.

Look in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).

Can you see there is something there when you plug/unplug?

Update the driver.
[General Questions and Answers] Erling Agesen:

[General Questions and Answers] Erling Agesen:
I've run the cmds excact as mentioned, but maybe have misunderstood your instruction,

since the reply to me contains nothing but errors.

Screenprint attached.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, it seems like you have fastboot there ok.

You may have a bad fastboot.exe on your desktop

There's a ton of ways to check what's up.

You can use my UsbLog.exe found here.

Just run it, then plug in your device.

You'll probably see 18d1/d00d, but it could be anything.

You can run my ImxLink.exe (in the sig) and see if the fastboot "LED" glows when you plug in your device.

It will even try a harmless fastboot command.

You can even try my WinUsb.exe (in the Windows section) once you find the VID/PID from Device Manager or UsbLog.

C:\>winusb 22b8 2e80
Found generic device at 22b8/2e80
In bulk endpoint 81
Out bulk endpoint 01
Everything ok

Note also, there is a difference between adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot fastboot.

The first goes to fastboot in abl, the second goes to fastbootd in recovery.

Usually PowerShell makes more problems than it's worth. Just stick to good ol' command line.

That long line in the script is too confusing, just:

fastboot devices
fastboot getvar product

Also, it's better to just paste text than a graphic.

Just wrap your text inside [code] and [/code].

[General Questions and Answers] Erling Agesen:
I see - that's not quite logical, I think, but never mind ...

I rebooted the device i fastboot-mode and the screen has an Android-figure with a gearwheel inside; my guess is that this indicates an unlocked bootloader ?

I also have run the command "fastboot oem device-info", but the reply was

FAILED (remote: 'unknown OEM command').

[XPERIA X1 General] Roflcopter_Down:
This may seem like a stupid question but: The screen is made out of plastic, not glass, right? How easily does it scratch? How does it do in a pocket without a case?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] SquidgyB:
Put it this way; I'm very careful what I put in my pocket with the phone, definitely no keys, coins or lighters. I took off the sony screen protector because it doesn't even cover the whole screen, and you'd need to cut off the tab on one corner if you were to use it permenantely.

I have a very basic carphone warehouse "cut to fit" protector on mine now, the protector itself isn't particularly scratch resistant (that is to say it's sh!t) but at least the screen doesn't take a beating.

One thing I do kindof like is that I've cut the protector down to such a size that it pops just under and between the bevel and the screen. It was bloody difficult to get the thing in there properly and without any dust, but worth it imo for the final result.
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
always use a screen protector, that way you don't need to bother having care of the screen.

once the protector is scratched, remove and put a new one.

I used the stock one 5-6 days ti'll the Martin Fields I ordered came to my house.

Also I bought a Waterfield suede jacket that fits perfectily the xperia and is really thin, but protects from scratches the x1 itself.
[XPERIA X1 General] Roflcopter_Down:
Thank you for the replies! I should order these along with my phone?

So u want to root ur phone, right ?

Okay, before we get proceeded you need to get the frimware from Here, choose your Country and get the frimware, unlock your bootloader from bootloader itself ( there is an option to unlock bootloader in it) or u can unlock your bootloader through fastboot, after getting your rom you have to patch AP file through magisk app from your phone , after that copy the patched file to pc and flash it with other stock rom files ,wipe your data by booting directly into recovery and u r done !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] peter7910162:

There will be AP_N770FZHS9HXA3_QB76769256_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS13.tar.md5

2. Use the 7-ZIP program to open this AP package

There will be boot.img.lz4, recovery.img.lz4, vbmeta.img.lz4

Extract three files

Use the 7-ZIP program to package it into AP.tar

Put the file into your phone

3. Install MAGISK APP on your mobile phone to patch AP.tar

After the repair is completed, extract the file

magisk_patched-27000_XXXX.tar

4. The phone enters Download mode, and the AP flashes magisk_patched-27000_XXXX.tar.

USERDATA flashes vbmeta_disable.tar

5. Restart the phone after flashing and enter recovery mode.

Clear data

6. Complete after booting

I have the US retail model and see it listed on the announcement, but my phone keeps saying it is up to date with the August 2023 version.

Meanwhile, my wife's 6a got the September 2023 update as usual.
[Google Pixel 5a] mikehd1959:
Same 5a 5g here, no update for September. Maybe they decided to wait until October when 14 is supposed to roll out.

same phone here, US unlocked.

the update was here, in Argentina, three or four days ago
[Google Pixel 5a] pawlik79:
It is available for side loading OTA https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
Yeah, I was wondering if there was some good reason it was being delayed. But I gave up and side loaded the main 001 OTA for unlocked devices.

It doesn't seem any worse than before as far as working with Mint (T-Mobile MVNO). WiFi calling still works. And visual voicemail is still screwy as it has been for many months, with it constantly changing between enabled and disabled and partially enabled.

Same here, US, Google Fi. Interestingly, the official update site, doesn't even list the 5a under the Google Fi section: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/235472280/google-pixel-update-september-2023?hl=en

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] PlutoDelic:
You definitely CANNOT change between other variant firmware. I would love to move to the EUX firmware on my A536E but that is not possible since it's A536B
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 12710203:
if you got your bootloader unlocked i suppose you could flash EUX /optics in odin and it would work.

I've tried flashing, but i have to admit not with an unlocked bootloader.

Ps, what's "/optics"?

csc related partition.

Do I have to unlock the bootloader? Im trying to flash CHC firmware which should work on SM-A5360 but get stuck on "Setup Connection".

thanks for your effort.

i'll study this report and compare with my e72 (by expansys, sim free and app locked, unlocked by utility found on the net)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jumper1998:
can't edit the windows files

Thanks for the information. I have been trying to get access to the 'band' setting for some time. However I have been unable to edit the actual xml files. I have tried using SDA unlocker and RAPI and keep getting 'phone is unlockable'. How are you editing these files?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tobbbie:
You cannot edit them onboard as they are in ROM. Copy them to your PC, remove the Read-Only attribute, edit and copy it back to the device. It will put in device memory and virtually overwrite the ROM copy. If you delete it on the device the old ROM copy will be used again.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jumper1998:
Thanks. That is what I have been trying to do, but every time I get '...could not be placed on device. You do not have permission to create item'. It is like the file system is locked, but I cannot find a way to get past it. Any ideas?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tobbbie:
Oh, yes you need to unlock it first. No clue how I did it, it is also not directly mentioned in my old blog. But from there are some links to other sites - you need to look it up there. It is basically the same thing that needs to be done on any WinMo device. Have you tried to search here already (use "E72 Unlock" as a start)?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jumper1998:
Thanks. I was able to unlock the phone, copy the xml files off make the changes (removed the commenting), and copy them back to the device. However when I try to use a control panel function that relies on one of these xml files I get 'the control panel document telphonygsm.cpl.xml cannot be loaded. Verify the XML and try loading the control panel again.'

The XML is well formed (as best as I can tell), yet I get this every time I swap in the modified file I get this. If I put the original back in place everything is fine. It looks like the XML is bad, but I can't find anything wrong with it.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jumper1998:
Ok, I think I figured it out. In the section that was commented out there were languages that were not relevant to what I had setup on the phone. Once I removed those it accepted the XML files and I was able to view the control panel. Thanks for your help.

Dear All,

I have a benq e72 since one year. The problem; once I wake up in the morning (three days before); I saw my PDA was not functioning and all applications inside were referred as "not found" icons.

I simply tried to power it off ... not suceeded ... it was completely hanged.

I removed the battery and restarted. dead .. it shows me only BenQ (the very initial screen) .. no more going to windows.

I tried to master reset the device by clicking right key + power button .. but again not succeded ...it shows me "proceeding master reset" .. and nothing proceed up actually.

I tried to update the loader .. by clicking left key + power button .. same situation .. nothing happened.

I tried the KITL too... by clicking home + power button ...

I tried to upgrade the rom to wm 6.1 or 6.5 ... i followed your posts ... but shows me "download ebood error" ... again not succeeded ..

the warranty is finished also ...

Can any one help .. please ....
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] trinest:
What if you buy a new battery and shove it in? Would that work?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Fattur:
There is the orginal xml files for who forget backup these..
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tobbbie:
The original files stay in the ROM - even if you "overwrite" them with the changed files. What you see in the \windows directory is an overlay of the ROM filesystem with a directory of the same name where you can write to. So in fact you just "overlay" the ROM file with one on the device. You cannot loose the original file - hence no need for a backup :-)

You detect those files in ROM usually by their Read-only attribute, but to be sure use Totalcommander CE - it shows in the file properties if it is a ROM file.

[General Questions and Answers] Boomhauer79cj:
i know there have been a million questions regarding usb debugging but i havenot seen this one asked before. firstly, android has a tool called android open accessory protocol (https://source.android.com/docs/core/interaction/accessories/protocol) that can be used apparently to auto enable USB Debugging. at least that is the way i read it. my question is, can this be used somehow to "auto enable usb debugging" on a phone (android 12) that can not be accessed normally to enable that function. if so does anyone have any experience using that particular tool that could possibly offer a little insight as to how i would go about doing this exactly? the phone is completely stock and usb debugging is not enabled and regrettably has a pattern lock enabled.apparently all solutions for retrieiving the data ultimately either require it to be enabled or completely resetting the phone and then paying some 3rd party to maybe retrieve it or not so for me that really isnt an option i would consider. any help on this matter is really appreciated. thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
AOA was this truly bogus stuff to allow Android devices to be a "virtual host" (while being a USB peripheral) to custom hardware acting as USB host.

This was only necessary/useful when the Android device didn't actually support USB host or OTG.

Now that we live in an enlightened age, Androids support OTG and we don't need that silliness.

To check if your device supports AOA:

zcat /proc/config.gz|grep CONFIG_USB_F_ACC
zcat /proc/config.gz|grep CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_ACC

The old config was CONFIG_USB_ANDROID_ACCESSORY.

In any case, ADB only works if you had previously enabled it.
[General Questions and Answers] Boomhauer79cj:
well i wouldnt think that is a true statement as i've seen several work arounds others have figured out but lets say that was correct, if the same device set as it is now were to be sent to samsung or taken to one of their best buy stations, how exactly are they then able to enable usb debugging in order to do what they would do?
[General Questions and Answers] noname9x:
Even if you somehow managed to enable USB debugging, it will still require RSA authorization from device and in your case when the device is phone locked, it won't show the pop-up message asking for allow USB debugging.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Yes, that's all possible, but outside of the "Android Open Accessory Development Kit", there's not a lot that supports AOA.

If you Google any of this stuff you won't see anything newer than 2012.
[General Questions and Answers] Boomhauer79cj:
yes i understand what it is for but i just happened across it because i googled auto enable usb debugging and thats what came up on google own site instructing on how to use AOA. never once claimed to know AOA but what i do know is...how to read. https://source.android.com/docs/core/tests/development/android-test-station/ats-user-builds
