[General Questions and Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Hello guys, hoping for some help here, I'm on a Meizu 18 Pro, passed SafetyNet & CTS profile which is awesome, I've downloaded my usual social media apps, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram etc.

However

Notifications are not working whatsoever, after doing some digging, I suspect it's because Google Play Services is being killed/put to sleep, by the aggressive battery management, however in the settings I cannot keep any system apps running in the background, the option has been removed for all system apps.

I've notified the FlymeOS developers but in the meantime is there any app or workaround I can do?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a big problem with my terminal connection. When I am without airplane mode, the internet connects and disconnects, be it Wi-Fi or mobile.

In the case of the mobile signal, it appears as if there was no signal. And later it reconnects.

This problem stops happening when I put my terminal in airplane mode.

Obviously I can only use the wi-fi
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
The following is mostly my opinions and others would feel differently.

Do you have a specific reason for rootng your phone? Otherwise the cons may outweigh the pros.

1. a STARTING point is host blockng and / or firewall. And don't install untrustworthy apps or visit untrustworthy URL's. Lock your phone with a password etc and other physical protection. It could end up being your weakest link.

2. You cant. You can only minimize the risk

3. Thats your decision. Many do. I dont do banking on my phone, even if I wasnt rooted. Its probably more a risk for the bank (inc their insurance on you) so they try and block it.

4. Dont know anything about this. Maybe ask on the Magisk thread; ie the most common root method now.

5. The whole internet. Use your favourite web search with your questions. Read read read.

straight to the point here friends: My SM-N976V (note10+5g) CSC was changed from VZW to GCF to get Visible to work (and it does flawless) I am on the one ui 3.0 to 3.1 I dont want to loose my CSC so if i Flash Home CSC in odin will I be fine? dont wanna have to pay for the service 3 times... thanks for the insight guys!
[General Questions and Answers] Auditorie:
Firstly, thank you for sparing your time to my questions. ( I can use Netflix and etc. I solved it without deleting or changing the name of a file. Just used Magisk.)

I rooted because I had a conversation with a guy at an electronics store who is a staff there. He told me new phones of Samsung increased productivity and memory usage on the newest version of the software. And I haven't had a smooth experience after playing games or using extreme applications. Because it takes time to get normal after using them. But after downloading android 10 and OneUI 2.5 on my s8+ I didn't notice that much difference. It is faster than normal, yes, but it isn't giving me pros about memory management. It still uses the same amount of RAM. I haven't tried extreme apps yet but seems like switching in applications becomes faster.

I forgot to mention that I'm having a problem with my screen too. Which is discoloration and horizontal lines while on the midrange of brightness. Peak brightness still looks normal (blacks are still bad) but high brightness gives yellowish tilt but no horizontal lines. Someone wrote after he is rooted his phone to a new version of android and OneUI his problem is gone. I wanted to try. Nothing happened. I'm looking for a stock ROM of S8+ in case of unrooting again. If you know of any trusted ROM websites please tell me.

Hi,

is there a way to influence which apps will be shown when you tap "Share"?

My (small, but annoying) problem is this: I often use the "BBC News" app, and sometimes want to convert one of their articles to pdf format - using Opera.

Unfortunately, the BBC app lists lots of apps for Sharing (including gems like "Fake GPS"), but only one of my browsers, Firefox.

If I freeze or uninstall FF, no browser is listed.

So, I then have to export the link to FF and from there to Opera.

Doable, but annoying.

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Rooting a phone is NOT a magic bullet that will solve all your problems in itself.

Generally speaking, your phone should operate the same as when it was not rooted; ie the same problems. HOWEVER, having root then allows you to take the next step and customise / modify in a way you would not have been able to do un-rooted. In other words, you need a plan of what you specifically wish/hope to do, otherwise you are no better off rooted or not. It is more work to actually enact the changes.

Flashing a custom ROM is normally enabled by unlocking your bootloader, which is not the same as rooting your phone. You generally do NOT need to be rooted to flash a custom ROM, but, you will need an unlocked bootloader to gain root.

Find your device specific forum to see how others have solved your specific issues, and how they have solved them.

Your screen issue MAY be hardware, especially if you have stock, so flashing a custom ROM wont help. Also, if your phone is new, maybe a warranty claim may be the best option. And rooting a new device could void or make a warranty claim difficult

[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
One last thing that I want to ask you, 'does the version of bootloader, affects whether what you flash will be supported or not, I mean earlier I was on ZUI 1.9 and TWRP 3.5, at that time anything I flashed didn't work, now I am on ZUI 2.5 and TWRP 3.4 and the few things I have tried are working (I am afraid of doing too much)??
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Bootloader is updated less often, but for all devices I have used, the version of the bootloader is linked to the version of the kernel (and modem), which is linked to the version of the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, you had the better answer regarding bootloader. I just can add to it that the issue that you had was not linked exclusively to the bootloader but the firmware itself cause a minimal set of partitions need to be updated in order that this or that custom ROM can work properly or can even boot.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It is very rare but Opera is not even showed in the BBC share menu.

Just I could suggest that in the meantime it´s found a solution for this you could use an app called LinkStore, the response time would be shorter that linking it to FF, inside the LinkStore app you should create a category called ie. "BBC" then store in this section the links share, from the minimal settings option available you should uncheck the option Open Bookmarks in LinkStore, this way the link won´t redirect to the original source when you tap on it and will let you follow this time Opera to open it with. I know you would think that it is the same but you should have two main advantages over the actual issue status; as I said you the time response to open the app is very shorter than FF and you shoudn´t need to do the process every time you find an interesting article to share with but the link will be stored there for the time/period you want ie. you should open and download them from Opera in the format you want daily.
[General Questions and Answers] Jochen K.:
Thanks - I'll give that a try.

-------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Just installed LinkStore and tried a few conversions to .pdf - not perfect, but MUCH better than through FF; thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] Auditorie:
I want to ask you one more question. I found my stock ROM on sammobile, installed it with odin ap, bl, csc, cp with all of it. But I can't use Knox apps which is like Samsung health. I searched a little bit and if you trip Knox once you can't undo it. So seems like I can't use my phone with Knox. Am I still secure? I don't think so but I'm not certain. If you say "Knox is not a thing to rely on." I will continue to use stock ROM. But if you say "You are still at risk." I will root again.

Actually, root gives me superuser lock on so without root I would be more secure. But I will listen to you more than my mind.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
After flashing your stock firmware via Odin, have you tried booting into stock recovery and then factory resetting the device in recovery and then wiping the cache partition then rebooting? Sometimes, after flashing firmware, there are conflicts with existing user data on the device and this data needs to be wiped on order for the device to properly load everything.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, this won´t make any difference.

Bootloader is just one of the files contained in the firmware.

You don´t have to worry about which is better so devs that publish a custom ROM will give the instructions to properly install the needed files but just keep in mind that from here on the latest version will be the better for current and for more to come from now.

I've got an iPhone 8 currently carrier locked to Sprint. I bought it preowned from eBay about 2 years ago and zero issues until now. I use Ting which is a partner of Sprint/T-Mobile. With T-mobile shutting down Sprint's network next year, I'll need to use a T-Mobile sim. The issue is that my phone is locked to Sprint and they won't carrier unlock it because it's on another sprint account still (probably the person who sold it on eBay) eBay account is closed and gone, so no way to reach them. Are any of the online carrier unlock tools reputable? Suggesting from the XDA crowd appreciated.

Everything works normally for now. What problem I can face? Let me tell you everything I did while installation.

I flashed with Odin, opened and make installation on the beginning like it's a new phone. I faced Knox problem then I wiped the cache partition. Nothing happened. I am still using it without Knox. I read something about it on the internet, after rooting the phone Knox can't be reverted. I am using my phone for social media, Netflix, apps like these. Just a casual phone user. I don't care much about Knox.

So, should I flash ZUI 4.0? although you warned regarding Chinese that they have a different way of interacting with drivers, so they can also create problems!!
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
And one more thing brother, actually I tried taking backup of .qcn file and opened it with HxD, and tried to search for the converted IMEI, and it was already there and for the second IMEI it wasn't there, you know how to add it to .qcn file??
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I hope I´m wrong but you should consider it as lost, as I said you previously IMEI is not really gone till it´s gone, the first was always there but the second did not have the same luck. It´s my theory but don´t give up.

The problem is that the updates from the Global version are always behind the Chinese, it´s not exactly that the Chinese be more problematic than the Global, you just have to be careful about some things like not relock bootloader while you stay on, not to update through OTA at least TWRP is working properly and things like that.

And about your question, if your latest goal is keep the stock ROM then the Chinese will be the latest but if you want to use it as base to flash custom ROMs then they won´t make much difference unless one of them receive a major update, at this point just left one more thing; Which would be the compatibility from one or another to some specific ROM? , well you have to ask to the developer to be sure.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It´s not clear atleast for me what do you need to do? Why you shoud need to flash the stock ROM? And what doesn´t have sense? RAM consumption or what the screenshot means for you?

Hello, haven't been here a while and gotten so rusty with these methods.

So, a query. My wife has a SM-G960F, bought from a carrier. Contract expired now so she requested an unlock code. I know this will only allow a different carrier's sim.

Next step: used Odin to flash an "open line" but still official FW. But until now, I'm stuck at Access Point Name Settings are not available for this user.

help a bro out, wife is so mad at me for having her phone reset hahaha
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, in that link you have the perfect guide and also the links to the drivers, you just have to install the drivers and then run the application and connect your device to the PC, all those process are pretty similar than LG devices being qualcomm and more yet some LG devices with MediaTek also use this same tool.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If device is unlocked this means that you can instantly put other SIM on it, you didn't need to flash a different firmware unless you definitely need a different CSC. Also when you installed a different firmware the better is format all prior to that and then flash the firmware with userdata and the new CSC included.

Try resetting all the APNs in advanced options.

Why are these drivers not firmed properly (regardings to the Bitel B9505), for me to use the drivers, I have to disable signature protection in Windows 10, and even that, the VCOM drivers just does not want to install...!!!

Is this fixable by booting from a liveCD..?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Firstly don't expect that a low-end device has proprietary drivers to be signed, all the MediaTek devices use generic drivers except a selected group.

As per the need to disable driver signature it is normal because the tool that have to work with these drivers, the flashing process have to be done at a low level that Windows can mark it as a false positive.

As per the live CD you can grab an ISO from FWUL (actually it received a new name), this ISO-tool has all the drivers and also flash tool to use it in a MediaTek.

I have an issue with a Galaxy Note 8 (950U): the USB port does not seem to transmit any data. Phone charges fine, but is not detected in any data carrying way by my computer (Linux system), and will also not connect to my Android Auto. In fact, when plugging into my computer, I also don't get the pop-up message asking whether I would like to allow data transfer. adb on my computer also can't see the phone.

Background: I recently replaced the USB port, because the original one was stuck in the dreaded "moisture detected" loop. However, initially after the replacement the USB data was fine, and this appeared only after a few days.

How do I troubleshoot whether this is software or hardware?

So I just need to use Rufus right, I'll try it, gotta see some youtube tutorials now.

Uhm... Could it be an issue if let's say, the ROM that I'm using to flash has lower version number...?

Like downgrading... I'm not sure what version of compilation is the ROM from firmwarecare

My compilated version is: Bitel_Peru_B9505_V1.06_20180301-1449

I don't know how to check the version from firmware care...!!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes, Rufus does the job, this is the FWUL thread recalled to mAid; https://xdaforums.com/t/live-iso-fw...-installation-and-driver-issues-v3-2.3526755/

You have to avoid lower version because downgrading may brick your device but if you see carefully the firmware on your own link and compare the dates you´ll realize that both are the same: 20180301 or 01032018.
