[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] stevanobody:
Please, Help me!

Hi, I hope you are all well. I'm in despair: My Zenfone 4(ZE554KL) started to be slow and sometimes it crashed and restarted, and then it went back to normal. It stayed that way for months. Last week, the bar containing the buttons to access the apps disappeared, and the only thing I could access was the top bar, scrolling down, but I couldn't access anything except the settings. In the settings none of the changes I made worked, and it always ended up crashing and restarting. At a certain point, I decided to try starting in safe mode, so I pressed the shortcut and it worked. It started normally, but a few moments later it simply restarted, and right after the Asus logo screen, it fell straight to TWRP, on a screen asking for a password to decrypt and mount. I tried every possible password I've ever used on my phone but none worked. I tried to cancel and go to file explorer, and there I got a surprise: Internal storage was listed as 0mb. I tried to connect my cell phone via usb cable to the PC, entering fastboot mode and only the sd card appears (where I didn't save anything). To recap the problems are as follows: *My android does not start, it goes straight to TWRP asking for a password to decrypt and mount the data. *When I click cancel and try to access files through TWRP's file explorer, my phone's internal storage is listed as 0mb. * When trying to enter fastboot mode through TWRP and connect the phone to the PC, only the sd card appears, where I never saved anything. *I need to save my WhatsApp data that is not saved in the cloud or locally, being just the application data and being all the most important work in my life, WhatsApp remains connected via WhatsApp Web, and I can only access recent messages, and I know that soon it will disconnect because my cell phone does not start android anymore. I'm a screenwriter and I've been on a project for over 3 years, dedicating day and night to creating and writing everything. For my stupidity, I saved everything on my WhatsApp, and as my cell phone's storage was always full I never made a local backup, nor on the google account because I didn't have any account with enough free memory (I had a lot of things saved, they exceeded 15GB). This project has been my life and there is no possibility of recreating anything, so if I lose everything I feel like my life is over. My WhatsApp is still connected through WhatsApp Web but I don't know for how long, and I can only access the most recent messages, because the oldest ones can only be accessed through the cell phone. Please help me, I beg you!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumo55:
Hi

I still currently use an Samsung S4 mini Android 4.4.4 KitKat and received a notice that Whats app and FAcebook will stop working. I bought another of the same phone, empty from data to modify to see if I can use the same phone and keep these apps. I don't have my phone signed in to Google but do need these apps.

Is this something that can be done? Where do I start? Different OS or can I just move on to Android 6 without too much harm? Please sign post me to get started. This phone is 2013 and a perfect size for my small hand. Phones are too big!

Hope you can sign post me.

THanks

before you go any further check what type of model you have. go to settings- about the phone -model

The exact model is S4 mini gt-i9195i which I'm not finding much material for, mostly gt-i9195.

Thanks. I'm weary of very new Android versions having been on Kitkat for so long. I would prefer to go to 5 or 6 as apps are going to be massive won't they?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miccca:
I advise you not to do that because then you have the same problem as kitkat. no whatsapp no facebook app and other important app. they are no longer supported

Without unlocking the bootloader (BL) you'll only be able to flash official firmware via Odin. If you want to use and to flash any custom ROM you'll need to unlock the BL first.

Thanks. I'm still absorbing all this from new.. Flashing is where drivers for the phone can get wiped? Do i need drivers? And is Odin some software on a PC. that does all this?

did you search GT-i9195i or do you thing it is the same? I know the hardware is different. a camera from a GT-i9195 won't work on the GT-i9195i

[Google Pixel 6] xdanabeel:
Bought Pixel 6 with A12, updated to A13 then the problems started, the screen touch would randomly get unresponsive, I cannot do it on command nor have I figured out when and why it happens, its random as far as I know. The unresponsiveness lasts for approx. 30 secs but sometimes if I touch the screen multiple times abnormally it starts responding again.

What I have tried, I have tried Factory resetting, no luck as it resets back to A13 since bootloader is of 13, tried sideloading bootloader and A13 factory image, thinking there was an issue with OTA image, no luck issue still persists. Finally, updated to A14 currently on latest beta 5.1 and still no luck. Last resort for me is to use custom kernels which I am currently not leaning towards, I cannot send it back to google for repair as I live in a third world country and just buying this cost me 70% of my monthly income, so I would like to keep using it rather than sell it as apart from this one issue this phone has not let me down once.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That's still a significant issue. I believe it's also hardware-related: it not happening on Android 12 is a coincidence. Unfortunately, I think no amount of tinkering with software is going to fix it.

Have someone look at it.
[Google Pixel 6] xdanabeel:

[Google Pixel 6] xdanabeel:
How can I be sure it is a hardware problem?, As it does not occur frequently example every day it occurs 4-5 times, usually everything works smoothly, but its still a problem I would like to fix. Currently I have decided to flash it with android flashing tool to complete stock as it was when I bought it, if it does not solve my problem than it has to be hardware right? Will update.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You can be fairly sure it's a hardware problem if repeatedly flashing various firmwares DOESN'T fix it. But definitely try Google's Android flash tool. If something was corrupted in software that should fix it. Otherwise a technician will need to look at it.

I am kind of having some issues with my Windows Media Player 6.1 and was wondering if anyone has the cab for WMP6.1 and it's codecs to download. I really need it please and thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] bugtoday:
I really ask for the cab and such please.
[General Questions and Answers] kareeem:
Search for a program called TCPMP (be sure to get the updated one that gets rid of the crash.txt error).
[General Questions and Answers] _fm:
depends on what issue do you have?

i would like to help,
[General Questions and Answers] bugtoday:
the rom i have does not have it. Also i dont really want to use tcpmp.
[General Questions and Answers] bugtoday:
i guess i am out of luck? What about WMP default codec files?
[General Questions and Answers] _fm:
Thats nearly impossible,. WMP and its codec is a base codec for a "sound",. so if a ROM dont include it, then the ROM will be very difficult to play such a music,.

Here is to check, this is full WMP that relocated already (so you cant make an OEM from this),.

If this .cab cant be installed, means that the ccodec is already in your ROM,.

For further advise, please contact your ROM cooker,.

That wont happen in original ROM,.

[General Questions and Answers] bugtoday:
Alright I get wmp now but it won't let me play 3gp files, which is what format my phone takes video in. TCPMP gives an error saying there is like an audio error and only plays the video without the sound.
[General Questions and Answers] PCman09:
Hello, if I play a video on full screen mode on my Samsung tablet and an ad plays it immediately leaves fullscreen mode and I have to click on the full screen button again after the ad finishes.

Why is that happening and how can I stop this behaviour? It happens only on my tablet and not in smartphone.

View attachment 5994327

i installed magick with twrp by renaming apk to zip and then pressing 'install'
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] khusika:
Hi @Dandraghas, welcome to XDA!

You can directly install magisk.apk through twrp without renaming it into apk.

About downloading takes too long, try to use another internet provider or changes your DNS with Cloudflare DNS
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dandraghas:
twrp doesn't see a apk file if i not rename it to .zip. Also i alerady have cloudflare dns configured
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] khusika:
Try to switch Cloudflare off
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dandraghas:
i tried still doesn't work, but i tried installing and old version(25.2) and this time twrp see an .apk file, so i installed it, opened magick and now it corretcly downloaded, i updated the app and then installed magick, it finnally works!, but still weird why can't twrp see an .apk file for new versions of magick.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] khusika:
Good to know, maybe something has changed in Magisk v26.3 related to the installation script.

[Nothing Phone 2] Nebrassy:
Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Easy selection of internal/external storage

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

Source Code:

GitHub - https://github.com/TeamWin/android_bootable_recovery

Gerrit Instance - http://gerrit.twrp.me

If you have made your own TWRP build for an unsupported device, please let us know. We might add your build to the list of unofficial builds. Bear in mind that we are working hard to add more devices and we may add your device to our official build list later.

Hello, this is TWRP for Nothing Phone 2

Installation:

fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img

Updating to a newer build:

1. download new build to internal storage

2. reboot to TWRP, decrypt, go to Install, click Install Image

4. select the new image

5. select recovery, tick flash to both slots

repeat after flashing any rom.

I have searched through all threads and I have not seen a solution so I am asking for help here. I have Nothing phone 2 NOS 2.5. Phone is rooted with Magisk through TWRP. Same issue using OrangeFox. I wanted to update to NOS 2.5.2 from the image on the github page. When I go into TWRP and try installing the Full OTA package from the github page I get the following error.

"Flashing A/B zip file to inactive slot B"

"Devices on super may not mount until rebooting recovery.

"To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot."

I downloaded the image from here https://github.com/spike0en/Pong_Archive?tab=readme-ov-file

in the instructions it says "

B. Via Custom Recovery (Unlocked BL):​

Alternatively, users can directly flash these full OTA packages using available custom recoveries for Nothing Phone (2), such as TWRP or OrangeFox."

Any help much appreciated. Not an emergency phone is working fine.
