i suspect either your charging port is broken or, worst case scenario is that your emmc has worn out after years of usage and is faulty, if that's the case you'll have to replace the motherboard
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Injector287:
So in short, it's hardware damage and cannot be fixed using software?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] reggyxt:
yes

i work in data recovery... Best case scenario is just a battery or charge port. Worst case is bad NAND or CPU or RAM. . It needs pulled apart by a proper technician and looked over
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] OhJa:
@TechX1991

The SM-J510FN/DS of my uncle is on my desk. It is stuck in bootloop: app optimisation is followed by Samsung logo. Is there a chance that the Boot-Loop is caused by a faulty battery (battery is flat and has no obvious damage) and I should check that first?

I could get it to boot into recovery mode and be detected by '''adb devices'''. If USB debugging has never been enabled, would it be possible to extract data via adb from the Samsung menu that allows to introduce images via '''adb fastboot'''?

Is there a beginners-friendly introduction to JTAG application? I understand this would require to set a few soldering points on the Mainboard and then use software to receive a full image of the chip. Looks nice and easy on YouTube but the soldering and device choice is not discussed. What would be your checklist in order to recover data from this device or recommendation on finding a data professional? I have been looking into jtag devices but am unsure which one to choose. In any case the cost of analysis of the device are given at 0 to 99 euros, while the data recovery is either 250 euros to undisclosed by the offers I went through (Germany, that is)

Therefore I thought I could get me a jtag device directly (Z3X Easy-Jtag Plus // sigma Plus) for the cost of the recovery and learn something alongside.

Would you recommend a start point for me to learn about jtag data recovery? There are some threads that recommend pulling data via dd but the phone I want to access data on neither has USB-debugging, nor root enabled.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
It may seem as a joke, but have you ever cleaned the USB port (with a needle)? Or have you ever used an external battery charger? Also, the power button is very prone to breaking on these phones, have you ever tried to boot it up with charger-only (plug in charger, then rapidly hold vol dwn and home)?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Kratos574:
I AM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGED DEVICE, YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

hello everything is fine ? I'm on version 13.5.870 of the Lenovo Legion Y90, but how did you do the bootloader unlocking in this software version? because I have already researched several tutorials on the internet and they all indicate the method of downgrading the software to version 13.8.563, but my fear is that when doing the procedure my device will get a hardbrick, can you help me so that the process can be carried out without problems? ?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Kratos574:
It's not easy to Say but it has to be downgraded but Please before You do flash the stock firmware make 100% sure You toggle the OEM Unlock on settings and use the option to retain data when flashing the firma otherwise You Will hardbrick, once You are downgraded You Will be able to use the command to OEM Unlock, make sure You have the propper key to Unlock
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] williammedeiros:
I activated "OEM unlocking and Usb Debugging" in the Advanced Settings of my device, but I was a little confused when it came to using the "Retain Data" option that you mentioned. I opened "Qfil" and went to the "Flat Build" option in "Select Programmer" I selected the "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" file from the rom "13.5.563" and then in the "Load XML" option I loaded the "Content.XML" file If I change the file type when selecting and placing "all files" I see other options that did not appear before, such as the file "Content_retain_userdata.xml" I selected this file and another window opened with the following files: patch0.xml, patch1. xml, patch2.xml, patch3.xml, patch4.xml, patch5.xml in this part I select what? I was lost in that part. I have one more question to backup partitions, can I use this same rom 13.5.563 or would it have to be the firehose file from the current version I'm on, which is 13.5.870? Sorry for my ignorance on the subject, but I have questions and I want to understand them to carry out the process safely. Do you have Telegram?

My search is coming up empty that this is a requirement. I do have a screen lock set.

I don't mind encrypting my device but when I do I get "locked out" of TWRP as when I boot into recovery it prompts me to enter a password (digits only) and nothing works, including my screen lock password.

Is there a way to use GPay with an unencrypted device and/or a method to encrypt my device without encountering the recovery password input that I have no clue what the password is?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papajon_14:
I just got a new 13th gen Fire HD 10 and put it through the usual Fire Toolbox treatment.

I setup Nova Launcher and everything has been working perfectly so far.

I want my wallpaper to cycle through my downloaded images and got Wallpaper Changer to do just that.

I set it either through the app or natively on the home screen, and it runs just fine cycling while the tablet is open.

The problem comes up that when I unlock the tablet it quits the live wallpaper changer and reverts to whatever image was set to the home screen last.

I tested a different app for it and have the same issue. It seems to be the tablet itself kicking from a live wallpaper upon unlock.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papajon_14:
*Solved-ish*

Installed Automate and found a Flow that changes the wallpaper every time I unlock the tablet.

This works around the problem successfully. It brute forces an image change instead of relying on a live wallpaper that I assume is still not going to work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_N0body:
Same issue, I can't do this workaround as I want to use wallpaper engine :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papajon_14:
I am pretty sure you could actually use the same workaround and just edit the flow so that its changing things into live wallpapers instead of static ones.

If its about wanting just the one live wallpaper, but it keeps kicking it out then you could use the flow as a way to reset the live wallpaper each time you unlock to work past it.

I don't know how it was first leaked to us, but it was released later in the official south-african 2.0 beta from HTC.

I've been using it for about a month, because it's the best compromise I've found between battery life and performance.

I've tried using multiple 3rd party watch faces including Facer, Timeflex and few other standalone ones and every single one does not display step count on watch faces despite giving all permissions. Did anyone notice that? Any potential solutions?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
Did you mean "...and every single one

[

does not

]

displays step count on watch faces..."? Because if not, then I don't understand what you're inquiring -- it would mean "after using multiple 3rd party watch faces and giving all permissions, every single one displays step count on watch faces. Did anyone notice that or have potential solutions?"

In the case of the former, it works on my custom made watchfaces made with WatchMaker app....

I mean, since it's a custom watch face maker, it might mean something that the "complications" are dialed-in differently than the standard output the other 3rd party watch faces are able to dial-in. One of the great things about that app is that it displays formulas/code-outputs from data from the watch/phone -- so I was able to display a custom date format and battery life without the use of a specific complication coded for those outputs (so no added permissions or complication compatibility issues that one like what you are running into). If anything, as I mentioned before, you could even output/display a formula so if you wanted to display let's say a different time/time-zone or have whatever offset you wished, you could just input it as a formula and it would display that (i.e. current time + 11.5 hours [a different UTC time plus 30 minutes for whatever reason]).

Just a thought, it might be worth checking out! Might even like the aspect of adding/customizing even more onto a watch face. Just FYI, many/most watch faces has to be purchased -- but what I did was simply take a paid one as a visual template and rebuild a custom one from scratch that matches it (and even added some more stuff that I wished were there originally).

Hope this helps! Good luck!
[Google Pixel Watch 2] Aks:
My bad, I meant to write "does not" but ever since I'm using XDA from browser and not app, I tend to mess up like this. Edited my post with correct verbiage.

One more edit - Installing watchmaker now and will update on my experience.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
Cool! I wish you luck!

While waiting, I decided to check the app just for curiosity sake, and while I thought you'd have to manually input the Lua code for steps counter code -- the developer actually already anticipated it and have it already included in the plus-sign/add-object options (under "Steps")! Manually, the Lua code for it is {ssc} -- so put that in the text of any object's displayed data, and that should display the number of steps logged (or would be displayed)....
[Google Pixel Watch 2] Aks:
Thank you 😀 you are life saver!

I was playing with it and I did notice step counter and couple other objects which I think would be useful. For now, I just installed it and set a basic face but will play around more on weekend and try to design something suitable for my requirements.

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
Hey everyone, I recently converted my Moto x40 from RETCN ROM to Motorola's official RETEU ROM and re-locked the bootloader. Currently, everything, from Google Pay to banking apps, works smoothly, and I'm receiving OTA updates without any hiccups. However, I'm a bit concerned about potential future issues. With the bootloader permanently locked, is there a chance something might break down the line? Could Motorola patch this and potentially render Moto x40 phones on RETEU ROMs unusable?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
As long you re-lock the bootloader on stock ROM (no matter if it's for the new region of your converted device), you will be able to unlock it in the future using the same procedure with unlock token requested from Motorola's page for that. Avoid locking bootloader on any custom ROM and you can find a way to work with whatever will happen in the future, without worries

But as is known, the mistake of re-locking bootloader on custom ROM, leads to a hardbrick ("No valid operating system could be found") and that's not limited to Motorola devices. Commonly, people that don't research it and lack a technical Android background think that action will benefit device integrity pass or Widevine level, but it only gives you a brick.
