Hi, I've got my OP8 when android 10 was around. I remember having widevine L1 back then and playing HD content. sometime later, 1+ launched A11 update and doing so broke my widevine to L3. As I read many posts online it seemed like a common occurrence. People were talking about how they got it back to L1 after a few updates or somehow by resetting cache and stuff. Right now I am on oos 12 and I still have not got any update to fix it, even worse is, I've tried literally every method I could find online but none of them worked. I've even tried MSM my way back to A10 (which also showed L3). As my last resort I contacted 1+ support who said they will provide me some special "update" to fix the widevine but its been weeks its nowhere to be seen. This thing is very annoying, buying expensive flagships just so they can go to waste over trivial stuff, the screen is very good but if it cant play HD content then whats the point. Never buying any 1+ device again.
I am asking the community to let me know if I am missing something, anything that could help me bring back my widevine to L1. I've not installed root or custom os. locked BL. very weird that no matter what I do my widevine is just dead. I would really appreciate if someone had similar issue and was able to fix the widevine.

Seems a little heavy for security only but I didn't find any descriptions when hitting the usual sites seeking the same. Guess we'll see...
Updated to may 2020 release and it broke my face unlock. had to call google for a replacement.......
But i still tried fixing this and i believe i may have found a fix, it worked for me anyway. I have an unlocked device so I already had the bootloader unlocked. I reverted the firmware all the way back to the very first release 10.0.0 (QD1A.190821.007, Oct 2019) and was able to set up device with a working face unlock on that release. Make sure to do a factory reset within the OS. After the device is completely set up I flashed the newest May 2020 update but I removed the -w from the flashall.bat so it would not wipe the device. I now have it working face unlock.
Just thought Id share. If anyone else has this issue hopefully this will help..
^^ this did not work for me ..
face unlock worked perfect for me
Is this caused by Android 11 DP3 face unlock broke
I did not have face unlock or any other issues, all went as usual. Install done via full imagine with wipe removed.

That's odd. I had the exact same problem with my 4 XL, and the April update. Google replaced it. I know a couple other people had the same issue, and got theirs replaced as well. I wonder what's is going on....

With how I was able to fix the issue I'm assuming it has to be some sort of software corruption issue. Man I do miss my fingerprint unlock...
Can anyone confirm whether this update has COVID contact tracing tools in the system menu? That stuff is creepy as hell, do not want.

Welcome to to NWO. I turn off my location services now. Google is already handing over all our locations data to big brother globally now. They’ve betrayed all our trust and privacy.
If you really want to know what will happen here, all the test runs are taking place in Wuhan. Their police forced them at check points to install a Covid tracking app. They’re currently going to test all 11 million residents there.

Just remember that is China he is talking about and that stuff is really going
on there. Of course it is, they have a communist government. I watch the special on it a while back and it was crazy how they had everyone like literally locked down. And yes they did have the tracker and there is a lot of shady stuff.. their internet homes is controlled so even their Facebook accounts they aren't allowed to talk about certain things or people have disappeared. Like when they try to investigate what's going on there or oppose anything at the government says. I mean of course they're locked down is very extreme and a bit too much but it also helped them to get it under control and to s certain extent, that is really the only way to.
Our "stay at home orders" were a joke and now they are already over. But anyways, so yeah just normal communism going on over there. They are just being China. It is not a "test run" for the rest of the world. We already know that Trump isnt very keen on following what other countries are doing anyways. We saw first hand how China and Italy quickly got overrun by the coronavirus and had to lock down. we saw how highly contagious it was and how fast it could spread, especially when nothing was done about it. They only way to stop it was to lockdown and we saw how that helped. Trump by no means wad going to follow. He still to this day won't even wear a mask and we all know why, because he associates it with all of the Chinese people wearing them and he's a racist, to just be blunt. We barely did much to try and control the outbreak anyways, I honestly wish things would get more strict here and maybe we would make some actual substantial progress. We just need to stay focused on the real things that are going on and try not to get lead astray by conspiracies and such that will only cause us more unnecessary anxiety and fear.
Ok so I have a good segue, so I just rooted and I'm on DP4 and tried to use magisk modules and had to reflash the system to get it working again.. so there's no known magisk modules that are working on DP4 right now?

Well for Google sending an update soon for an embedded Covid tracker is concerning. Especially since they’ve giving this information over to our local governments, CDC, and WHO.
I recently reverted back to full stock, and relocked my bootloader. If and when this new Covid NWO tracking system gets pushed to our phones, I’ll unlock again, root, and delete all that NWO crap. We are the resistance aka, “”.

I have been loving my Motorola G6 for almost two years now. I had hoped that this phone would last between 3 and 5 years. No such luck for me because even though my phone is "functioning" doesn't mean it is not suffering annoying problems.
The entire phone refuses to charge anymore unless I "bend" or "twist" the phone itself. It honestly looks like I am trying to break the phone in half when doing this. It can sometimes take multiple attempts at "twisting" the phone before it manages to STAY in the charging state.
Besides the charging problem the phone no longer works with Google Services whatsoever. I have installed an unofficial GSI Lineage-OS ROM which had been running without Google Services problems before. Ever since the charging problem arose and I factory reset the device which forced me to reinstall the ROM, etc. It was only AFTER resetting the entire device and noticing that the charging problem persisted did I stumble across an obscure comment on an online forum that said to "twist" the device. From the moment that phone and ROM got a factory reset Google Services stopped working and is always crashing on startup. I have tried flashing Gapp packages and everything else I can think of to restore Google Services.
All of this is to say that I don't want to have to replace my current G6 model for the G8+ model($303 with Amazon Prime) but I have reached the point with my current device that it makes sense to upgrade for such a low price. I was wondering how the ROM development has gone for the newer G8+ device.
I obviously want to install the Lineage-OS and do other things like rooting the device after it arrives. I checked the ROM forum section for the G8+ and it is super empty which makes me wonder if I SHOULD get the G8+ model considering that I want to modify/unlock bootloader/root the device. If there are not many developments/ROMS made for this model yet should I consider grabbing the G7 model instead? Of course if the G8+ model is going to have Lineage-OS avaliable within the next couple of months or something than I would get the newer model and just wait for the ROM release.
I would also welcome any other comments from current G8+ owners regarding their thoughts on the device since they've owned and been using this model.
Thanks!

the twrp is not working on android 10, and we do not have custom roms for g8+, it was possible to install gsi on android 9 now nothing else. just stockrom for now.
That sucks to hear about! Luckily I decided to go ahead and grab the G7+ since it seems to have much more active development.
Hey guys,
I posted on the other threads but it seems like my concern shifts to be another.
First off: Yes I have tried switching regions with the tutorials. No nothing happened. I switched back to EuEx, no dualism because I don't need it.
Yes I tried every possible EU VPN Tunnel and updating OTA.
Nothing helped.
Now I have searched for my current Firmware, and there is no actual discussion about it. It is CPH2025_11_A.52 I am on the security Patch Level December 2020. So it came to my mind that it could actually be the firmware that prevents the updatingprocess. Is this possible?
With every other EU-Colleague of mine getting at least C59 with EuEX I'm starting to think it's just my phone.
Is there something I can do about it or do I have to wait for a flashable Android 11 zip? Which would ultimately leave me with selling the phone since I purchased it in regards to receiving an android 11 smartphone.
Thanks for reading in advance!
No problem with your version ,its just Oppo s way of doing things.I have cph 2025.11.A50 november security patch.
I reached them and they said i should take my unit to service ,i asked them why?its not broken !
Very wierd solution.
My phone works like a charm ,great performance ,good battery life ,so im happy with the software.
P.s bought phone from Switzerland.
@andreiselegean1984 @CaptainRage while it may not be broken on the hardware level there definitely seems to be something wrong with it, so sending it in is not that weird a solution imho. There surely is some sort of repair service in your country that acts as an official Oppo partner for warranty repairs, so why not just contact them and see if they can help by just flashing the newest software onto it and be done with it. The only hassle being that you'll have to do without it for a couples of days but maybe you still have one of your older phones that you can use instead for the time being...
Well Oppo doesn't seem to be cooperating that much:
We are sorry to know that you didn’t receive the ColorOS 11 update on your Find X2 Pro just yet.
In order to clarify this for you, please allow us to offer you a background explanation.
To make sure everything of the new version can run smoothly and reduce the unnecessary risk of the end-user, the ColorOS 11 update is released in batches. This is a protective measure used in global leave for all the new software versions.That’s why a certain amount of devices don’t receive the update on the announced date. But don’t worry! As your satisfaction is our priority, we at OPPO are doing our best to release the update for your phone as soon as possible. Rest assured that you will receive ColorOS 11 soon.
I appreciate your understanding and wish you a wonderful day!

This is just the usual BS the customer service gives you, forget about that. There have to be companies in your country that are official Oppo service partners which do all the repairs that are eligible for warranty. Contact one of them directly and tell them what the problem is and see if they accept it as a warranty repair.
Hello XDA!
First of all, long time lurker, but infrequent poster here. My phone is an Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro running stock and non-beta software and is not rooted. I am reaching out to see if anyone on here who has more technical savvy than me (which is probably most of y'all) can help me figure out how to reinstall a fresh factory image on my Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro or can offer any other possible solutions for my issue.
The reason I am wanting to do this is because I recently installed a software update from Asus that seems to have a persistent issue that is a pretty major problem to me. The issue is that whenever I reboot the phone and plug in headphones and audio plays, but it stutters and BLASTS out of the headphones (multiple sources tried, even happens with system notification sounds). This only happens with wired headphones and never with Bluetooth. I had this happen to me once for less than a half a second and my ears were persistently ringing for about 3+ hours after this and I am certain that it damaged my hearing to a small degree. Because of this I no longer trust to use any headphones with the phone and this is a huge bummer because I use wired headphones A LOT.
I have tried to factory reset the phone several times already and the issue persists through without any restoring of anything during setup (in fact it won't recognize the backup that it created the day before the factory reset), but the issue is still present. I contacted Asus customer support (for which lets just say I have strong feelings on) and explained the issue and they want me to RMA the phone for a hardware issue.
I really do not wish to do this as this means I will have to either switch phones a few times which is always incredibly time consuming or be without a phone for an estimated period of up to 10 days if I do the RMA. I also disagree that this is a hardware issue because of two things: 1) if it were a hardware issue then I would think that the problem would be constant and not happen just once after each reboot and I would think that doing something in the software, i.e. a reboot, wouldn't consistently recreate the problem. Thus I am trying to find a way to "restore" the operating system of this device to see if I can solve what I believe to be a software issue that shouldn't require any RMA.
I have seen that posts that linked official files from Asus before, such as the "AsusUnlock_1.0.0.7_210127_fulldpi.apk" found in the OP of the "Install any custom ROM on ROG Phone 5 / 5s (GSI)" thread here in this very forum. Is anyone aware of any officially sourced files for stock software/firmware for this phone and a process through which I could reinstall it?
I am also open to thoughts and other possible options to consider.
Also I will give bonus points to anyone who can help me figure out how to fix the issue where my Google backup by this very same phone won't restore its own Google backup when going through the setup and can help me restore it. It does recognize a different Google backup for a tablet that is set up for my child to use, so it is not an issue with the restore being completely broken.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to try and lend a hand.

Yeah, just for additional info for anyone who finds this. I've also been working with ASUS customer support. I was given two links on flashing official firmware:
Unofficial guide on flashing - https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1009748/
Official firmware images - https://rog.asus.com/phones/rog-phone-5s-pro-model/helpdesk_bios (same as previous comment above; thanks Teddy)
When I asked why my version is newer than any they currently have listed on the site I was told that it "could be a preview release given directly by Google" (I doubt this as this appeared as an official OTA by Asus that had very specific patch notes to this phone in it) and that because my version is newer than any listed on their site would result in trouble if I tried to flash the newest version listed, but an older firmware than what is currently installed and that I should still just RMA my phone.
For reference my current firmware is RKQ1.210303.002.WW_Phone-18.1220.2201.186 and the latest firmware listed on their site at the time of this writing is WW-18.1220.2111.164.
Great phone (aside from the hearing damage), but utterly useless support.
Still open to thoughts and ideas though if anyone still has any.
You can "downgrade" your firmware by doing a RAW flash directly to version you need OR to any lower version and then install the official ASUS version you want manually. Also need to disable OTA updates to avoid being updated to the latest automatically.
Having the device checked for hardware issues is probably the best idea however.

Could you provide more info on this "downgrade" via "a RAW flash"? Is there a guide or something that will give more info about this?
I think I might be screwed though for the RMA. Customer service says apparently its a Taiwan version and cannot be serviced in the USA and has to be sent to via Taiwan RMA and the page they gave me seems to indicate there are no service centers for ROG Phones; see https://www.asus.com/support/service-center/taiwan#.
Short rant is that I literally spent hours and I mean HOURS (if not possibly days) of my time with Asus customer service and searching online trying to find a US version with US warranty and ultimately getting nowhere and deciding to go with the one I have now. Four months in to a $1700 phone and basically I am stuck with a dangerous headphone jack and no option to fix it other than maybe what you mentioned, Andrologic.
Today has not been kind.

There are links to download RAW images along with guides in the help thread pinned to the top of this forum. You should find what you need there. The RAW's come include flash scripts that does it all for you.
Just curious for opinions while this thread is still going:
Does anyone lean towards my issue being a hardware problem or something else (and if you could be specific and suggest something for me to try about it)?
The reason why I ask is because I personally feel like this is an issue with when the headphone jack initializes output or something because it only ever blasts audio after a reboot and I any audio plays. After it stops and plays again the levels seems to return to normal. I can also reliably make this happen the same way every single time. Finally (and somewhat conspiratorially), the update I installed just before this started to happen had patch notes that included "optimized audio parameters."
My appreciation in advance for any thoughts and insights.
Out of the blue yesterday my fingerprint scanner just stopped working. I dint pay much attention to it because i was busy and thought it was a dirty sensor. But today after cleaning it it's still not working. It seems the entire setting is missing, I can't find the fingerprint manager in Settings -> Security!
What gives!? I think this the last Sony smartphone for me. Too many silly issues .
Anyone had this issue with a 5III? and has a fix? I saw in the xperia 1 forums some ppl had the issue but no definite fix, neither rebooting nor reflashing the OS has worked.
Yeap. If you read my recently opened thread I got exactly the same problem. I sent the phone for service and not only have they created new problems (disabling updates somehow) but the fingerprint sensor failed again within a day!
Sony did almost two weeks to react to my new complaints and even though I was trying to convince them to just give me a new device and get done with it they tell me to send it again for service. A month is past overall.
P.S. I bet it is some cabling issue because I also reflashed the software when the problem appeared using the Xperia companion and no luck. Sony service changed the chipset and the button (but I assume not the cable?) And as I said it failed again. And after I got the phone back updates don't work and Xperia companion does not work. Don't they even test it??? Saying that I am pissed is an understatement.
Ahh seeing your post here, it seems more of hardware issue than software. Checking in with Sony (if it's still under Warranty) should be the best bet for both. Please do try to share your experience here on how the whole process goes. Understandable it's a pain at the moment.
Unfortunately no warranty. Got an unlocked device on amazon as its not available in my country.
