I picked up a TCL 20 Pro 5G yesterday, and so far so good, except:
1) every now and then, I am getting a popup "GetLocationConfigStep: operation failed". I suspect this has something to do with my Samsung Gear S3, and my first instinct is to clear the phones cache, which brings me to...
2) recovery menu does not include a "clear cache" option. All the other typical items are there (factory reset, etc)
Any ideas about these 2 items?
Maybe I've answered my own questions:
A factory reset resolved the GetLocation error, and I read that Android 11 does not use cache the same was as older Android versions, and so wiping cache is not present.

I am having a big problem with my GIO. I flashed Enhanced236 and whenever i want to connect to my wireless or switch to phone data, i always have to restart to make them work.
For wireless : If i had data on and when i got home, i have wireless router, so i can disable data. But, when i do that, i get the same message over and over again : Obtaining ip from ...
For data : If i had wireless on, i can`t switch to data. The phone option says it`s on, but it actually isn`t...
And another thing : when i enable Airplane mode, it does nothing --> actually it does, it turns off my wireless, and after i turn Airplane mode off, i can`t call anyone...and it doesn`t end the call
It`s driving me crazy !!!
Please help me, especially coccolino_dbro (maybe u can pm your Y!M id - i am from Romania too)
I can't reproduce any of these behaviours; all works fine here, including calling after I had Airplane mode activated. Have you formatted & wiped data during installation? Also, if you have formatted, did you by any chance restored some apps & settings with Titanium?
You can try to do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM and see if that fixes it.
It's common when you flash new custom ROM, to do a wipe data/factory default in CWM. Some ROM does not need that (for example SGS2 port), but more preferred that you do
do you activate airplane mode from notification bar or from setting menu?
I always do a factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik before i install a new rom. I usually use Titanium Backup, but that was the first time i`ve flashed your rom, but the second time (after i`ve did factory reset, etc) i didn`t install TB and tried to activate wireless the first time it started (usually when u first start your phone, data is on), but the wireless didn`t start...stuck at obtaining ip. After a quick restart, all worked fine with the wifi, but when i left home and tried to deactivate wifi and switch to data, data wouldn`t connect....it said that it is on, but when i tried to browse or use Google Play, connection error.
Let me show you what i did :
1. i downloaded your rom.
2. i formated my ext to be ext4
3. i did a factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik from recovery (CWM)
4. i flashed your rom (tried the full installation)
5. i did a factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik from recovery (CWM)
6. the phone started, tried what i said before...
PS : i activated the airplane mode in notification bar with wireless on, and all it did was disable wireless, the signal bar was still at 4 lines and i couldn`t call
Hi everyone,
First of all, i've read some posts about similar issues but i couldn't find one that exactly matched mine.
My phone was working perfectly last night, but today when i got up it was turned off.
I imagined that the battery had drained during the night, so i plugged it to the charger and after a while i turned the phone on.
It started alright but then it got stuck on the Samsung logo. It should then go to the "PIN code" screen but instead just stays there.
The Power+Home+Volume Up combination shows me the recovery mode menu with the android lying on his back and with a triangular red exclamation sign. Below there is a message saying "no command". The following options are allowed:
- reeboot system now;
- apply update from ADB;
- apply update from external storage;
- wipe data/factory reset;
- wipe cache partition;
- apply update from cache;
The Power+Home+Volume Down combination shows me the Update/download menu and it allows me to cancel or go to download mode.
My phone is not rooted, everything is original or updated as sugested/requested by the phone.
I haven't installed any new apps yesterday.
So my questions are:
1 - Can I fix this without deleting all of my data from the internal memory, or can still backup my data?
2 - How can I fix this?
Please take into consideration that i am a complete stranger to the "developer's technical language".
Thanks in advance
Hello everyone,
Yesterday, after I tried to charge my LG G4, it stopped booting properly: it seems to boot "normally" under the hood, except that the system UI is not properly loading so instead I get a black screen and a message "Unfortunately system UI stopped working". If I click "ok", it comes back within two seconds (the screen stays black apart from the error message). I cannot do anything, like unlock the phone or access anything on it, despite the fact that I can hear notifications coming in.
Unfortunately phone is not rooted, developper mode isn't enabled, and I don't have a custom recovery. I would do a factory reset if it weren't for my Google Authenticator codes, some of which I haven't properly backed up like an idiot. Thus I was wondering what I could do to back up my phone or solve the issue.
Here is what I've already tried:
Press down VOLUME DOWN + POWER to enter recovery mode, but since I don't have custom recovery this only gives me the option to do a hard factory reset and lose all my data.
Use adb commands to access my phone, but I get "unauthorized device" because I haven't enabled developper tools on the phone.
Use the app "LG Bridge" on my mac, but it also doesn't work for the above reason.
I see three possibilities, but I don't know whether any is genuinely doable:
Solve the issue of the error message, which from what I've read requires me to wipe the cache. But how to do that without custom recovery?
Somehow bypass the UI to unlock the phone and unable developer tools
Manage to backup the phone from my computer while its locked without developper tools enabled.
Note that obviously this is my phone, I know my passwords, I have access to my Google account, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, without my Google Authenticator data I'll be locked out of an important email account.

Well at least you can backup your phone in download mode with SALT ( https://bit.do/SALTatXDA ) but restoring is another story.

Thanks a lot for your reply! I'll try backing up with SALT tonight. There are two things I'm wondering:
How do you think I could extra data from the backup?
Will I be able to wipe the cache or enable usb debugging with SALT? That might solve the issue.

You can mount the userdata partition on Linux (e.g in FWUL) and then browse through it like it's on your phone.
You can wipe the cache paetition in SALT yes. It's in the advanced menu there (erase partitions -> select cache and only that). It will not wipe the dalvik cache though.
I dunno about the USB debugging though. Maybe there is a way but if so you would need a very unrestricted download mode (depends on model and firmware). And the whole process is not easy.
It requires again SALT and there you have in the advanced menu the option to open a shell.
Here you can mount userdata with
mount /data
But it's usually mounted already. Then it's a try and error. You could e. G. try to delete the dalvik cache etc.

Hi!
I've found out that the Google Auth keys are in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2/databases/databases. So I need to backup /data/. However, when I show the list of partitions with SALT, I don't see /data/. Is there a way to backup /data/ on my unrooted device?
Secondly, I haven't managed to wipe the dalvik cache with the command shell, would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
Hello
I have this problem, I wipe all my data, I log out in all my Google account, I have the last update when I wipe all data, and now when I try to configure the phone I can't get out to " Checking information " he pull me back. in all options I select.
I don't know what things to do now, I can't use anymore
Please help, I'm stuck. Wife was using her S20 5G simply browsing in Chrome and the phone spontaneously rebooted. It's now stuck in a boot loop and after 3 tries, goes on its own to this recovery screen. If you select "try again" it boot loops again. Repeat until the battery dies. I've managed to get to the full recovery menu to do a cache wipe and it did nothing.
Few questions on "Erase app data" :
1) What exactly does "Erase app data" do?
2) Will her Google accounts set up on the device remain intact and logged in?
3) Will any device settings be erased by doing this?
All of her data is backed up. We just absolutely need to get in to one of her Google accounts as we are having issues with 2FA account recovery.
