Astaoth 3 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Have you any doc about that ? Last time I had an Android phone was 10 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astaoth 3 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Thank you that was this. So now, before flashing the Pro1, we need to start Android at least once :p. Edited January 7, 2020 by Astaoth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know if there is a good reason for them to turn this feature Off by default (Or maybe it is Off by default without FxTec changing it?) Tried it On with slow charging, and from what I can see it works exactly as you would expect. Will try with fast charge when the level is sufficiently low for it to make sense. Works fine with fast charging too. ADD: When the off-mode-charge is Off, the device will automatically power up when power is applied. I get an error when I run the command while I'm booted into the bootloader. Do I need to run the command while the device and powered on? Do I need root or have the bootloader unlocked?

No for the other questions, should work simply in fastboot mode. Edited February 12, 2020 by netman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I get home, I'll try it again and post the output I get from command prompt and tell you guys exactly what I did. I just want it enabled after reading some stories about how some owners cannot charge their phone after it dies. I don't want to risk that happening to me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you got your device in the first couple baches (like me) that came with unlocked bootloader and dev options already enabled, and surely your early dev unit had unlocked bootloader....

ThiccAl 3 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) So I enabled developer options, enabled USB debugging and enabled OEM unlocking. I opened my command prompt as administrator, entered the following: - adb devices (device showed up) - adb reboot bootloader (phone went into bootloader) - fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 and it returned the following: C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)) fastboot: error: Command failed C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools> I'm not stranger to rooting devices and messing with the bootloader, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong, hopefully someone here can think of something. my build number is 20200106110245. my fastboot menu shows the device state is locked, secure boot - no Edited February 12, 2020 by ThiccAl added a little more info Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tried using my old laptop running PopOS and all fastboot commands worked fine. I later tried PopOS on my tower and still no go. Maybe something with IO ports being newer hardware?
