I hope I can post the url without ruffling any feathers. Here is the original thread over at PPCGeeks...

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46487

I did mine with RIT Black liquid dye. Turned out great.

The steps I took were...

1. Place a pot with 2 cups of water in stainless steel or Teflon coated sauce pan on the stove.

2. Make sure burner is on medium low. You want the water to get hot enough so that you see steam lightly rolling off the top. NO HOTTER BECAUSE YOU WILL WARP THE COVER.

3. I used half a bottle of the black dye. Pour the dye into the water and let steep for about 2 min.

4. Place cover into water/dye mixture. Stir about every min. Use something soft to stir...like a rubber spatula or something.

5. Keep the cover in the mixture for 5 - 15 minutes, depending on how dark you want the cover to turn out. The longer you leave it in, the darker it will turn out.

6. When you are ready to take the cover out, make sure you have cold tap water running. Place the cover under the tap water and rub with your ringers for about a minute. I used rubber gloves so as to not dye my fingers (although I didnt notice any dye on the gloves when I was done).

7. Once it is rinsed, dry with a paper towel.

8. Once it is dry, "buff" the cover with a cloth of some type. I used a wash cloth. Some recommend using denim or microfiber. I dont think it really matters, just people showing how ingenious they are. lol

You only have to buff it for a minute when using the liquid dye. And you really only have to buff it to even everything out. I highly recommend the liquid dye as you dont have to worry about splotching from the powder dye. I did my girlfriend's cover as well and she went with purple. I am going to post a link someone posted for mixing the colors and what you can expect. All respect to xweaponx over at ppcgeeks for the idea and initial steps. I recommend doing this. Even if you just go with black, it looks much better and doesnt show wear or dirt like the original cover.

Here is the link for the color matching/mixing.

http://www.ritdye.com/Create+Custom+Color.9.lasso

All in all, this took about 15 min to do. Nothing to it and it turns out looking very professional, as if it came like that. It does not effect the clear plastic cover for the camera. It does not effect the text under that clear piece either. I would recommend using a q-tip to dry the cover on the under side. Some people noticed that their clear piece was cloudy afterward. I suppose this is for one of 2 reasons. 1. they got the water too hot. 2. they didnt clear the bottom side of the clear piece afterward. If anyone has any questions post them here and I will try to help.

Also, you may wanna take a look at the cover about every min at the 5 min mark to make sure you are getting the color you want. It is gonna look darker while in the pot with the liquid pooled on it. Just monitor it to make sure you are getting the right color.

You can get the RIT dye at Walmart, Walgreens, Riteaid, CVS, fabric stores, and craft stores. Just depends on whats available.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spyrou007:
Dear all,

My S8+ won't work anymore. Just black screen : Nothing.

What are your thoughts ? Could it be battery that needs changing ? Is it CPU reball issue ?

How can I be sure ?

Here is what happened before :

Happy user of S8+ under Lineage OS 20 : It is the S8+ dream2lte SM-G955FD.

The USB slot won't work well anymore , so for the last 10 months I've charged it wirelessly.

Friday morning, it was working well. I charge my phone wirelessly (as usual) from 40% to 80%. But this time I forgot to check on it. So it must have gone to 100%

I get back to it later : it would not respond anymore. Black screen. buttons don't respond. same for screen (usually vibrates), same for fingerprint (usually vibrates).

Also tried long press on ON/OFF button. Or long press on ON/OFF button + Vol Up + Bixby. Or long press on ON/OFF button + Vol Down + Bixby. Nothing.

Note: No weird smell. Phone was cold and is still cold. It has never been opened. it does not respond to wireless charging anymore, although the charger recognise there is something to charge as the charger led changes, but the phone does not budge. It does not respond to cable neither (of course)

Any ideas ?

As someone new to the audiophile scene, I'm eager to explore how Magisk modules can elevate the audio quality on my Android device. I've heard about the potential of Magisk for system-level modifications and would love to harness its power for optimizing audio performance.

I'm reaching out to fellow XDA members to recommend Magisk modules specifically crafted for enhancing audio quality on Android devices. I'm particularly interested in modules that address the following aspects:

Preserving the original audio quality by removing resampling.

Enhancing sound fidelity by eliminating limiters or other processing.

Any additional Magisk modules or tweaks that can elevate the overall audio experience on Android.

Hello

I have a Montblanc summit 1 smartwatch with wear os on it. It turns on and stays on when on charging but as soon as I remove it from the charging cradle, it turns off within 30 seconds.

I changed the battery for a new one, did multiple factory reset and contacted Montblanc with the answer that they don't service that watch anymore.

Repair stores in my area won't fix Montblanc....

What are my optiona ? Look maybe like a software issue. I cannot connect the watch on the computer as the cradle only allow to charge.

Thanks for your help

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ElVacho:
I'm scared and in panic mode

I wanted to install a custom and root the poco.

1. Installed TWRP

2. Installed Evo X

3. Tried to install magisk but instead of using the zip I boot into recovery, selected advanced and saw an "install magysk" option. I clicked, installed something but it show red errors messages that I could read. I remember I saw something about installing /system or something like that.

4. After that I rebooted the phone and it was stuck on fastboot.

5. Decided to use Mi Flash 2022.5.7.0 and download the following fastboot stock rom marble_images_V14.0.1.0.TMRCNXM_20230210.0000.00_13.0_cn_5ae6ea7d44.tgz.

6. It showed the checkpoint error and then the phone rebooted itself. I thought it was fine but then a light screen showed up and then it turned into white screen. I can hear the MIUI sound after a few seconds but the screen is totally white at max brightness.

I just want to turn it off right now because im afraid the white screen at max brightness will melt somehting due to high heat.

Please somebody help me =(

This the log Mi Flash gave me after the first flashing

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ElVacho:
Some extra:

Phone has white screen, power button works but after holding it for 5 seconds and force it to turning it off the phone just boot itself. Again, light green screen that turns into white screen after a few seconds. I still can hear the MIUI sound.

When I hold the power button and hold power + vol down to get into fastboot the phone just reboot itself into green / white screen

Same when I try power + vol up, just the same light green that turns into white.

Edit1:

Some more useful info:

My phone has it's bootloader unlocked (waited the full week).

Oem and usb debuggin were turned on before this mess happened

My pc stills detects my phone.

Mi flash stills detects the phone, I just don't know what to do now. I want to turn it off because I'm afraid the heat will mess something up.

Edit:2

ADB/Fastboot cmd says my device is in fastboot mode. But the whole screen is still white, cant see anything.

Edit3:

Left my phone on a wooden table while I went for lunch. Came back and now it's turned off (it was turned on and with the white screen thing going on when I left it there). I dont want to turn it on because i know for sure that if it does it will be stuck on this white screen thing. I want to be sure the next time I turn it on I know what to do. There's also the possibility that something melted and the phone is dead for good (thats another reason why i dont want to turn it on lol).

Im so dumb because I was following the guides here and did it perfectly, installed twrp without issues, installed evo x with no errors. But the moment I stopped follwing the guides and click on some random buttom everything went south. The phone is getting less hot every minute since it turned off by itself. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I'm still looking for ideas to try to fix this big mess. Last time I checked both Mi Flash and adb/flashtools detected my phone in fastboot mode so I know I can still save it somehow.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
According to the log, the flash worked but according to the Miflash configuration, it would not be good.

Correct the errors: path+name of the rom and reflash the rom, preferably the same one that was on the phone before Evo X.

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ElVacho:
Right. Its good to know that I can at least save it.

I dont really remember the original stock rom firmware. I was afraid that white screen brick happened because I installed a version that was too old for the poco f5 i bought a week ago.

Just one more question before I download the right flash stock rom. What version/firmware should I flash?

I know my phone is the global version. I could flash the lastest MIUI (14) but I also updated the phone with HyperOS through TWRP just before flashing Evo X (thats what guide said). So should I try lastes MIUI or find a flash stock HyperOS to match the one that I updated before flashing Evo X?

Thank you for your reply and help.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Not sure that you will be able to save it and not even sure that it comes from the SW, flash the same ROM as in the previous flash, but correct the configuration before.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ElVacho:
Excuse, I haven't flashed anything today. But now that I'm remembering everything I did yesterday; the flash stock rom that I flashed yesterday was the V14.0.1.0.TMRCNXM ("CNXM"), the CN version instead of the global one. I believe I should find the global version first. Right?

My POCO F5 is Global after all. Damn it, I feel so dumb.

Edit: I will download this version MIUI 14.0.5.0.TMRMIXM it's MIXM so I know it's for the global phone.

Don't worry NOSS8, I will make sure to follow the tutorial to flash it properly. MI FLASH in C root folder. Unzip the TGZ/ZIP and then rename it, etc.

I will update this thread when I flash this new stock rom and will post the MI log.

Hopefully it works this time. Will update after it finish the flash
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ElVacho:
1. Miflash is in root C folder

2. Pasted V14.0.7.0.TMRMIXM inside the miflash folder

3. Renamed V14.0.7.0.TMRMIXM to 14070

4. Launched Miflash as administrator

5. Clicked on refresh

6. Checked CLEAN ALL and selected the right folder (14070)

After some minutes, the phone rebooted itself. The white screen at max brightness is gone now (THANK YOU SO MUCH).

The phone is kinda stuck in the MIUI logo. Maybe I just need some time right?

Here's the log

Spoiler content hidden.

Final update:

It worked. I'm at the config screen the same cofig you must do when you boot the phone for the first time.

Thank you @NOSS8

Final Thoughts:

To anyone seeing this thread. FOLLOW THE GUIDES STEP BY STEP. If the guide tells you to put miflash in C do it. If the guide tells you to rename something, DO IT. Also, be sure to check clean all instead of clean all and lock in MiFlash before flashing. Make sure you did everything right before flashing or you could brick your phone like I did.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Opacity7:
Hi, today I’m asking something that I think it can be impossibile, but who knows.

Today I have found my old Vodafone Smart Mini (Vodafone 875) that is bricked since years.

It’s an MTK Alcatel phone with android 4.1.1.

I was never able to recover my personal data from this phone. It was bricked since I enjoyed editing system files and doing dumb stuff when I was in my teen years.

I can even remember why it’s bricked: I’ve edited a build.prop in the wrong way. No comment.

The problem is that this phone has a broken charging port that can’t be repaired, so I can’t even install the stock rom from a pc if I want, I can only boot in the recovery mode. The phone is rooted but it has no custom recovery installed.

So my question is, since it is an old phone, there’s some kind of tool that I can boot in recovery mode that can recover my files? Maybe even installing a custom recovery without the pc? Or I’m just wasting my time even thinking about it?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxalilh:
What do you mean by a "broken charging port"? How did you get it to charge and boot into recovery? I just want to make sure if it's software or hardware related.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Opacity7:
I mean that the charger port is broken. Connecting a battery charger shows no sign of life. Back in the day, I even ordered a new port and tried soldering it into the cell phone motherboard with a friend of mine, without success.

I charged the battery with an universal battery charger and by doing this, the phone turns on but remains in bootloop. Like I said, I only have access to recovery mode.

It's software related surely, I recall that I wanted to replace the default font and so I had to edit a line in the build.prop.

And after this step, I got the bootloop which is present to this day.

Yes you should sync. yor contacts with Outlook on your desktop (if you want to use this soft of course ;) ).

In Outlook 2007 on your desktop, go to Detail and you'll find a birthday date and a weeding (translation ?) date also. If you put a date, you'll have an all day appointment, once sync. is done. :)

Could u please explain it a bit more...I have opened the outlook and am I required to setup a new account or anything? Which menu should I access to sync my contacts?

Sorry for the noobie questions
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PhTor:
I'll try with my poor english ;)

I'm not sure you must create a new email account if you don't want to use Outlook 2007 for mailing on your desktop.

Try to skip this step (if I remember, you can use Outlook just for calendar and contacts).

If it's ok, create your contacts (you will have a tree on the left side and buttons at the bottom for calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.).

In a new contact window, on the top you will have an Action tab, and just on the right a Dispaly tab. In this tab, clic on the Details button and there you can write the birthday date.

For the synchronisation, once your phone connected on your desktop, open the device manager, and go to mobile setup, then, open Modify the synchronisation setups, tick Contacts, Save and it's ok. :)

I'm not sure about translation because I use a french Outllook 2007 ;)
