I want to know how do I flash any if the files found on Google's developer site. (https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#sailfish)
It gives *.tgz files.
The reason for this is that my pixel has been cursed with the dreaded mic issue. I hope that flashing a driver image could help restore some functionality. It has now even spread to my speakers, the phone can't produce audio and videos and audio don't play unless through a Bluetooth device. AUX is not functional.
First it was just the mic giving issues and I good just reboot the phone and it would work again for some time. But now rebooting does nothing and now I can't even hear sound to play a video or game. Please help.
Just to give more description I want a way either via fastboot or adb or through the Recovery to install these files, if possible. Would it solve the issue?
Other issues include not being able to swipe to answer calls and the phone freezes if I do. Apps crash sometimes if they require audio output.
Same issue here (Searching for a used dead phone - 2017 manufactured, maybe screen cracked, body damage etc. So that I can replace the mobo as most of them say this is the way to fix it).
I saw some comments in Google forums that ''Android P beta builds'' fixed the issue for some. Wanted to try that, but I am not able to find beta links (As beta is over)
Installing drivers is worth a try.....Even I would like to know
So anybody has any ideas yet? Anything software wise at all?
Try flashing some custom roms and kernels
**FIX** unlock BL, twrp3231, pixeldust 9.0 ROM, magisk 18.1
Hey friends I was having same issue after stock to 9.0 update (with all patches up to today 3-9-19) on my pixel, first it wouldn't read a Sim and I unlocked the bootloader and used adb to fix that by resetting the modems, then less than 24 hours later it dropped the mic and then sound all together (probably with one of the first updates).
So I updated the phone completely and still no mic no audio. Checked xda and only found this thread. Tried 4 times to download the Google fix and every time it failed so I can't say if the adb sideload fix works but I had already prepped the twrp room and magisk files so I proceeded with that after 24 hours and no solution I could find.
Much to my satisfaction as soon as the rom was loaded (pre magisk) i heard audio. Continued to root and came out with sound and mic and mobile data finally! Pixeldust is very nice so far, snappy and lots of options though maybe a more mellow graphic designer for the stock wallpaper is called for!

how do you reset modems ? my pixel dont read a sim
Hi,
Those who installed LineageOS on T5, could you please share your experience ?
I noted from few comments on this forum:
5GHz Wifi is not working but 2.4 GHz is working fine
disable HW overlays in the dev options to remove blur
disable AudioFX to correct sound
Is there any other prooblem ? What about bluetooth, camera, GPS, gapps ?
Any feedback will be appreciated
I'm the one who said it didn't work on 5GHz wifi, it is working.
I had to wait several minutes until my AP appeared, once I connected for the first time it did not give me any problem.
Also something like this happened when starting LineageOS for the first time, it did not connect neither in 2.4 nor in 5 but waiting it worked.
After disabling AudioFX I installed Eqfy Equalizer which works fine.
The camera app is not working, a white line appears in the middle of the screen and there are no photo options or anything.
Since I don't use it to take photos, I have not tried more but I suppose that with some other camera app it should work.
Not tested bluetooth or GPS for now.
On the other hand, the tablet works more fluidly and you have more free space.
In the absence of trying more things, for now I'm sticking with LineageOS.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have flashed LienageOS 16, and have patched RAMDISK.IMG to install Magisk.
It looks OK, I like it so far. There are only two issues:
* Camera is not working
* I have only 2,4Ghz WiFi (which btw is working fine), but I do not see 5,0 GHz network in my list
GPS, bluetooth, sound, image,...everything seems working OK, but I didn't check in details.
Despite those two issues I will stay with LineageOS. I prefer it one hundred times over EMUI. And for camera, which btw is not very important to me neither, I will probably find a fix one day.
From time to time your 5GHz AP may appear, you can connect but then it disappears again.
Yesterday I checked, I thought it was connected in 5GHz but no, the connection was in 2.4
I confirm that the Wifi in 5GHz does not work.

I have sorted it out.
For WiFi, I changed the channel on my router, put it at 44, and now the 5,0 Ghz Wifi is visible and I can connect.
For camera, I have found a Gcam which works OK, it is "GC_4.1.006.126161292-41003513.apk", easy to find on XDA.
So now I have LineageOS fully working. For the time being everything is fast and stable.

I thik it is related to router. On my router, in settings, the choice of channel was set to automatic, I put it to 44 and it is visible, and the connection is fast and stable. For some reason the tablet doesn't see higher frequencies.

I'm going to take a look to Gcam, I've tested a couple of cam apps but not working.
Now I'm using channel 56 but previously I tested other channels, maybe the day it worked I was using a lower one, will test too.
Thanks a lot.

Hello again, I have changed the channel to 44 and for now it works fine.
The Gcam is not working for me, It tells me that it cannot find the camera and closes.

Hello. If this can be of any help: the Gcam which I installed, I found it on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/themes/google-camera-huawei-p20-kirin-devices-t3882198
It is : Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292, in the first post, section OTHER AVAILABLE APKs.
Maybe we’re not using the same version.
After flashing LineageOS, I found that I had two cameras : HwCamera2.apk 8.0.0.200 which I think is Huawei camera, and Camera2.apk 2.0.002. First one was crashing immediately, the second one didn’t work with a white line in the middle. Now I have first one disabled, second one is still there but useless. And third one is the one above which is OK.
Has anyone had any luck with Netflix?
I tried LineageOS yesterday and was unable to install Netflix from the play store, likely because it said I was uncertified. I was however able to download and side load Netflix, which initially appeared to resolve the issue, however any attempt to play content resulted in a 5.10 error. From what I can tell, this appears to be something to do with DRM, however the few potential solutions I've found using Magisk didn't help resolve the situation, and I've ended up reverting to Emui
Aside from Netflix, I didn't come across any other issues while testing. Unfortunately for me, Netflix was the main reason for getting this tablet in the first place, my old 3rd Gen iPad would have been more than adequate for my needs other wise
In order to get Netflix work, I installed one older versions found on apkmirror. I picked up randomly 6.21.0. I installed also liboemcrypto_disabler (even though I do not know if it was necessary), and in addition of that it is hidden in Magisk. It is working, I do not know how to check the quality, but I guess it is 720p.
Why TWRP needed why not to flash directly from stock recovery...
If you want to install LineageOS, the TWRP is not needed. You flash LineageOS via fastbot. In fact, it is better not to mess with TWRP, officially it is not supported by OpenKirin ROM's.
I also thought so but it's ok I have LineageOS installed with OpenCamera everythink seems to be working fine even LTE is there 16.1 version available ?
and also where can I get stock recovery if I need it, is it available for download anywhere ? or after LineageOS instalation it also installs stock recovery ?
If you want go to stock recovery again, On OpenKirin site there are comprehensive guides, under section Support, about where to find stock EMUI firmware, and how to extract and flash stock recovery image.
I do not think that LineageOS will install stock recovery, if you had TWRP before LineageOS installation, most likely it is still there. You may check it yourself : Vol Down + Power on boot.
I've just tried LineageOS build 6 on my AGS2-W09 and the camera seems to work ok now.
Had to install OpenCamera and set the all permissions, clear storage for this app and on the next run it can finally save the aquired photo.
The 5Ghz WiFi works with no problems (my router selected channel n.60)
As for audio: there is a glitch when device is booting, might want to not wear headphones during a reboot ☺
Haven't tried disabling AudioFX or installing Viper4Android as I am rolling back to stock firmware.
Netflix:
I think I konw why Netflix is not working: I have no IMEI with this OS.
UPDATE: IMEI should not matter on this device as it has no network.
I had tried the Netflix 6.21.0 version mentioned here and it gives me the same "Device failure occurred 501.-1006" error.
Then I've installed Kodi with a Netflix addon and it gives me: "It was not possible to get data from Widevine CryptoSession. Your system is not Widevine certified".
It is pretty clear that the LineageOS 16 build 6 (lineage-16.0-20201019-emui8-gapps.img) has no Widewine libraries installed.
Other than this the OS is very responsive, unfortunately I have to rollback because of this.
I am using this tablet for Netflix and prime on stock emui.
I really want to upgrade to custom ROM but no polished ROM anywhere!
guys how you have managed to pull boot.img from the device?
can anyone guide me through?
I have successfully managed to flash LineageOS latest build on MediaPad T5

hi, I have a moto g8 plus and I want to use Lineage but my devices isn't under the supported devices list. is there a working unoffical lineage build that is opensource for the moto g8 plus?
and if there is no build, how much work is it to port lineage to a new device and what knowledge is needed?
thx for your answers beforehand
I used @waltermobile's guide for 17.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/did-anyone-apply-gsi-on-moto-g8-plus.4066961/post-83094247
plus @AndyYan's 18.1 build: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-18.x/
Seems fine so far - bluetooth audio wasn't working at first, but this workaround fixed it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/did-anyone-apply-gsi-on-moto-g8-plus.4066961/post-83397105

Are you still using this? Any additional quirks or oddities besides the known bluetooth issue? I'm thinking of installing it; i'm tired of waiting for a custom ROM. thanks.

Yes! After it took 5 days to set up, I was loath to throw any more time after it
The only other problem I've seen is that I can't join Zoom meetings – I'm able to log in, but either clicking a link or entering a code just dumps me back on the app's main screen. Other meeting / call apps work fine.

OK thanks for the info.
I attempted to install Lineage 19.2 on my moto g8 plus but it got stuck on the curved line and circle screen. i'm not even sure if I flashed it correctly; this is literally my first time trying to flash a whole GSI/Rom on any phone. Any advice or instructions would be appreciated (I used TWRP; after it was done flashing and I tried to restart it gave a warning that there was no OS; not sure how that's possible, and I still got that curved line screen). In short, I am not sure if it's the .img file I used or the flashing method, or perhaps even both.
Hi, I have been installed custom rom lineage 19.1 on my redmi note 11 pro 5g (veux).
The Bluetooth is working headset/earphones connecting and working normally for audio streaimg like YouTube or any other apps as soon I try to call or receive using any app or phone app, messenger etc, the app becomes unresponsive, even it says phone app unresponsive close or wait window at that point I have no options device freezes and needs to reboot forcefully in order to work.
Any idea?

Pointing out the freeze device means in the background the phone is working the particular app unresponsive error doesn't go away it freezes there
Any non miui rom will have alot of issues. There won't be any help or support until we atleast get a partial functional recovery or official rom releases
You'd have better luck asking the guys who made the ROM instead of creating a thread here. If bluetooth audio worked fine in stock, and it's busted in a custom rom then it's the custom ROM's issue.
My poco x3 pro started to have some problems 2 months ago first Mic stopped working completely after the 13.03 global update , now all of a sudden when i connect my bluetooth headset it connects normally but there is no voice heard and when i play videos no matter what platform video start to stutter even though the app work normally and i can scroll comments or other videos on yt while the video is playing ,games crash if connect my headset ... so im pretty convinced its going to die soon
currently updated to 13.0.4 official global .. did a complete fastboot installation twice and no changes
question is should i install a custom rom , does that have any chance to saving the phone ...which rom u guys recommend simple google search shows crdroid or lineageos and here most popular rom seems to be arrow

Sounds like a hardware problem, changing roms won't do anything.

The bluetooth one happened to me too. My phone's touch now no longer works even though my phone never fell, got wet, or got pressed hard.
I already tried changing roms, reflashing old and latest MIUI through fastboot and none of them fixed the issue.

Try installing an Android 13 custom rom. I recommend Exolution X for now since Pixel Experience android 13 is kinda buggy
I have the same problem. And every ROM, whether official or custom, has the same problem.
Install custom ROM. Worth to try. AOSP from foxtrot on tg is perfect a12 for me and everything working perfect.
