Issue: SM-J3119 - On LineageOS 17.1, cellular features work incorrectly.

My device is a Samsung Galaxy J3 Pro (SM-J3119, China Telecom variant), running LineageOS 17.1 (ZIP located here). I have a China Mobile SIM card inserted in slot 2, with the slot 1 (expects a China Telecom UIM) left empty.

According to the manual, with only a non-China Telecom SIM card inserted at SIM slot 2, the phone should still be capable of cellular networking over LTE, and of course, at least be able to let me talk on the phone. However, although I was able to text using SMS normally, I am stuck with EDGE networking and can't hear or talk on the phone. I am still able to place and receive calls however.

Any idea to work this around or resolve this issue?

Notes: I have looked into the device's AOSP config, and it seems like there is an alternate kernel configuration available for this device. Its name also has "ctc" in it, so I wonder if building a new image but with that kernel config would help.

I have an SGIN T10Pro Tablet, got off Amazon, cheap and gets it done but would like to try going stock Android.

Is there an app that can root this? I'd never heard of the brand and the few apks i know didn't work (king and a couple others)

Any suggestions? The thing drags for it's tech stats so i want to see if stock is any smoother (if even possible)

And if no on an app, can someone link me a simple way to do it with code? i just am looking for clean wipe, and the camera, etc still working. Not doing anything more than browsing an reading on it.

Thanks in advance.

In the GitHub site, they don`t mention for a specific Magisk patched for mtk, you just need to patch the right image, most likely, the boot, then flashing back to your device, using mtk-client.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Magisk apk just place an app to interact with, it still needs to update some binaries, and for that, it needs a custom recovery, anyway, a patched image will do that, and after that, just left to install the app (to interact with), in this case, user wouldn`t need of a custom recovery., because, those binaries are installed through the patched image.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It´s not a thing of Windows vs Ubuntu, the issue may come from: lack of dependencies at all, some dependencies bad installed, unproper permissions, or wrong path for Python and its dependencies, pip3 not authorized, or, lastly, your device doesn´t need to enter to BROM mode, but to preloader mode, and for that, also check if your device is well detected under device manager, as preloader or VCom, search for LibUSB 32, to install properly the drivers needed for this operation.

Hi everyone! I ask you for help with my Xiaomi 4k Laser Cinema 2 projector (XMJGYY01FM).

for a few months everything worked perfectly then, suddenly, a few seconds after turning it on, I receive an error message warning me of overheating and the projector turns off on its own.

I have the new firmware 2.1.3.2878 and have reset to factory settings several times with no changes (when I'm on the recovery screen nothing happens and I can stay there as long as I want without any warning).

Have any of you encountered this problem?

I tried to read everything I could before asking but I got lost in the huge amount of posts: can you direct me to some specific guide for my model to try loading a different firmware?

Hi Everyone,

I have an LG X Power 3 and unfortunately I allowed it to install security updates, which in turn made a fantastic battery phone into a slow as molasses gimpy phone with a still great battery...

Does anyone know how I can remove the updates or install the original firmware from scratch? It's running Android 8.1 Here are the rest of the phone specs.

I have tried the LG Flash tool and LG UP but haven't been able to get anywhere.. (I get server is down errors when trying to run them). I have gotten the phone into download mode but I'm not sure how to get it any further.

Thank you,
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Consider that you can flash, depending on the tool, either, through recovery or fastboot mode, and/or, you need the right LAF, in order to get permissions to flash properly, EDL mode, in case it´s a Qualcomm device, may need different files, Provide some SS, in case your issue persist, links from the tool, and combination keys, your´re using.
[General Questions and Answers] Minime99:
I am not sure I completely understand... :(

I downloaded the LG Laf Recovery MultiTool as suggested and ran it. It detects the phone but fails when I try to backup the LAF file saying the command su is not found.

I try to install su via kingo root via computer and phone and it either fails or stalls waiting for the device..

Now I've tried with Minimal ADB and Fastboot: it reboots the phone but then stalls "waiting for any device"..

@SubwayChamp , do you know of any program that should work and allow me to install su on this?

Thanks,

Hi all.

My father bought a tablet from Aliexpress, and there is a big problem, because in options there is a android 10. But in aida64 shows there is android 5.1. And i want to upgrade to android 9/10 or if there is a option to 13. But ther is no brand of this tablet. how to make own version of newer android?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Unless you are a serious dev, thats no easy task. But the following thread may be a good place to start and possibly get some help. I would also (but dont like your chances with a aliexpress device) check github for "your device". I quote it because half the problem will be trying to figure out exactly which device you actually have. You would probably have to piece together components from other similar devices, based on the tech components. eg GPU driver, CPU etc etc etc.

It had 4 button instead of 2 and the button sticks to each other.

Screen recording does not work. I have followed flashing instructions normally but this happened, I have no changes prior flashing, and this always been a issue, but I haven't asked for help yet at the time.

Hi, I have a x96 max+ 2, android TV box, that was working fine until today. When I tried to find a new app that I wanted to download from Goggle Play Store, the Play Store app shut down immediately. After several attempts all with the same result, I gave up and decided to do a factory reset which went on just fine. When it restarted, I checked first the FOTA update which told me I had the latest version (20200901-1005) and then another update app called Update (the one with the upward pointing arrow) which said "Check Failed! Check your OTA Service Argent".

I didn't pay much notice and went on to Sign In my Google account, which also went Ok, but when I tried to see my apps in the Play Store menu again it shut down immediately. By the way, other preinstalled apps like YouTube and some music and video players work fine.

Is there a way to fix this or is the Box going to the bin?

PS. I didn't know where to post this, here or in the normal threads. If it's in the wrong place tell me where to move it and I will. Thanks.

Rooting is a different thing, lacking of connection through fastboot, it´s probably for the lack of drivers update, it has to be done in the same time the device is connected, and also, is detected, but with a different name, when you update it, browsing through the drivers you must install, then you can see a new item; android bootloader interface, this is fastboot.

For rooting, actually, it is Magisk, the most popular and suitable method.

Hello!

If I have a device that has fake specs info (all of it), how should I go about un-faking it? Will a custom Rom solve my problem?

I've bought a fake Alliexpress tablet, and had to bite the bullet and accept my losses. From what I can see, it seems to be an android 8.1 with an mt6750 with 3gb lpddr3 ram (+1 zram, which I don't understand what is) and about 26gb of storage. The fake specs should still be enough for my use case (mostly reading epub and pdf, and watching videos, with some very light word processing), I just want to get rid of the fake system.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
System is not a fake, but, how it is represented. Papers say different things, that hardware really is.

Just install, what you want, and see how it goes. The lighter you do it, the faster/lags-free, your device may run.

just try a custom launcher. For power, i personal use Lightening Launcher, but its a STEEP learning curve, but can do almost anything. Still easier than creating your own android.

If you look closely, you will see the semi-transparencies and rotation and overlaying widgets on top of other widgets. And the screen is full of hidden hotspots and folders within folders and widgets within sub-folders. Its a behemouth. But light, as I started using i in gingerbread. And my wallpaper is a live wallpaper cruising the solar system, visiting out planets; it was actually made when Pluto was still a planet 😜 (PS The blank in the top left corner is where my camera cut-out / lens is)

i have heard good things about iconify.

I have no idea what you mean by "text logo". Visual items are best described with an image and maybe a before and mockup of after.

Hi all! First sorry for my bad english. I few times ago I installed lineage OS on my tablet Lenovo tb-8704( I do not remember the modification ;/).

I think the steps were:

1. install TWRP

2. install Lineage OS

3. install gapps

And of course, I forgot to download the stock rom....

after installing gapps after lineage os through the twrp the tablet can't boot(it's stuck on the booting lineage animation). So now I'm asking for your help I want just to run the tablet with no meter if it's the stock ROM or custom ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably you solved the issue, at this time, just in case, probably you need to format data.

Also, some custom ROM, recommend to boot, immediately to install the update zip, and after the first boot, going again to TWRP, and installing the GApps.
[General Questions and Answers] Kambata01:
I formatted the data but it still can't boot. Can you tell me step-by-step things I can try?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Assuming that, those files you flashed, are for your specific device, I refer to TWRP, LOS, then usually, is enough with having the stock ROM, required as a base, after that, just...

- Flash TWRP, boot to it.

- Format data, reboot to TWRP.

- Flash LOS, and, this step, depends on the recommendation from the dev, not for booting, but, for the performance of the device.

- After to reboot to system, firstly, then boot to TWRP, and flash the GApps.

If the issue persists, give a link to the LOS forum
[General Questions and Answers] Kambata01:
The problem is that I don't have the stock ROM. Is it needed to install the LOS? I think I wiped everything like: DalviktART cache, system, data, internal storage, cache, boot, micro SD and usb OTG the first time I had this problem with the booting loop.. :/
[General Questions and Answers] Kambata01:
So I found the custom ROM that I installed:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unoffic...-for-lenovo-tab-4-8-plus-tb8704f-x-n.4352943/

and it said that it must be installed via adb sideload so I did this:

- open TWRP and wipe- dalvik/ART cache, System, data, internal storage and cache.

- open from TWRP adb sideload and install the LOS from the link and after that, I again have a boot loop of LOS animation.

[General Questions and Answers] Logix:
Thank you DJ <3 :)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You always would have the stock ROM, prior to any modification. Stock ROM, serves as based, for any custom ROM, what you deleted is part of the stock ROM, but some partitions are not wiped in the process.

In the thread, you linked, it´s clearly stated "...DO NOT ERASE SYSTEM, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE WILL HANG ON THE LINEAGE LOGO...." so, better, search for the stock firmware for your specific device, flash it, and re-do the process, but this time, paying attention to the instructions.

Can anyone pls help me i want to root my oppo a1k (CPH1923 OP486C)

i have no experience in rooting
[General Questions and Answers] Minime99:
Hi @SubwayChamp ,

I've tried Magisk but the programs instructions say to obtain some specific files..

I am struggling to pull these off the phone..

I have tried to get the from the .kdz file but they are: boot_409600.bin , recoverybak_671744.bin

These are slightly different than the instructions say and not the exact firmware my phone has anyhow!

I can't pull these off the phone unless I try to use adb.

Now I've tried using 3 pc's and have gotten nowhere with adb..

If the phone is on normally, it shows this and I can't do anything. If the phone is not connected, adb server starts up and continues to run without any problem. If I connect the phone while adb runs, adb quits.

If the phone is in download mode, I can connect it and adb continues to run but it can't identify my phone... it just doesn't show it.

When in download mode and adb is willing to stay running...

I've tried turning off the antivirus, have given adb full access through the firewall, the firewall entirely itself and I can't get it to do anything differently...

I have waited between the many tests to ensure windows has installed all of the devices it wants to (although some quite regularly fail to download from windows update).

Now on computer 3, Win10 64 bit with 16 gb of ram and USB 2.0 and 3.0, I've made a little bit of progress but not much...

I can run adb reboot recovery and it reboots but it starts back up as a regular restart..

I then try

But get access denied..

I see that means the device is not rooted, and yes that's the case... I am trying to root it.. lol

Now I've tried running Magisck ignoring the problems and hoping for the best but it too fails saying

(probably a good thing it's failing given all of my problems but...)

The phone has USB debugging on. An odd thing is it keeps changing the USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) and I have tried setting it to PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) and MIDI.

I am really running out of ideas...

how can I get this on here?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
ADB is useless, in this stage, what you are trying to achieve now, is to root the device, and, it happens, that ADB needs root permissions to pull an image from your device.

Anyway, initially, you don´t need to pull a file from your device, if the firmware, the exact, you´re using, it´s available, then use, either the boot image or the recovery. Usually, with using the boot image, is the "short/easy" step, you can do.

Rename the boot.bin as boot.img, and try again.

Stablishing connection, within your device and the PC, only depends, on grabbing, and installing the right drivers for.

hello

sorry for the lately answer

thank you for your reply ; in a way, does those both apps are well opensource?

i would evaluate the "danger" of app running on root-rights mode (superuser) as opensource required ;)

is there a howto to create a such system? on which kind of data is it based? hour? geolocation/gps?

on my own, id like to get a gps-related working system, or just to evaluate the better coverage of 2G or 3G (on few areas 2G is the best and 3G doesnt works well at all, on others areas, on the same daytime, it's the contrary)

thank you for helping me :)
[General Questions and Answers] Jochen K.:
My newly (August) Magisk rooted Samsung Galaxy A14 5G [SM-A146 P] shows one particular behaviour I've never seen before since I began rooting in 2012:

every few days I see a message "Automatic maintenance", followed a few minutes later by the information that there's new software for me, accompanied by a big "Install" button.

A look at the details shows that it's a newer Samsjng firmware than the Magisk-patched one on my device.

WTF?

If I didn't cancel this, would...

-Samsung tell me "ooops - rooted device, aborting",

-the stock firmware be installed, removing root?

Kind Regards,

Jochen
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Newer Samsung firmware detects if the device is rooted, it´s a personal choice, if you want the update, the firmware will get you rid of the root, for you, or follow as you currently are, with a rooted device, and discard the update.
[General Questions and Answers] Jochen K.:
Magisk vanished after update (Galaxy A14 5G/Android 13)

Hi,

in August I rooted my device via Magisk-patched firmware (no TWERP).

Last Saturday I happened to open the Magisk app and found that an update to v.26.4 was available.

The app upgraded without apparent problem - the framework didn't.

[I took a screenshot of the error message, which somehow turned out all black - I think somewhere it said "unrecognized".]

After the reboot, my device was still rooted, but Magisk had vanished.

I went to Magisk's page on Github, installed the .apk file from there - no Magisk visible, no active modules.

Is there a way to fix this, or will I have to start from scratch?

Kind Regards,

Jochen

So sorry if this is spam but I have a problem again.... Now I have only TWRP installed and no ROM. I tried to install stock ROM via Rescue and smart assistant for Lenovo I did the step where I must press and hold the volume up button and connect the cable to the tablet then the program says to release the button the tablet vibrates and start blinking red light and then I hear connecting sound from the computer and after about 83% of downloading came disconnecting sound and it shows fail on the program... it is the custom recovery to fail for the installing the stock ROM or what? I tried the other program(QFL) and again the tablet is shown on the port like 9008 or something, downloading and again disconnecting.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Magisk can´t perform an update, automatically, without a custom recovery, you even can install the Magisk app, but this remains the same. Unless you patch the boot image, or the firmware, then converting it to tar format, and flashing it through Odin, or whatever, doing it the same way you did, the first time, when you rooted the device, some of them will work, but not the automatic update, for the reason I mentioned.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Custom recovery, at least, usually, can´t install a stock ROM, for Lenovo, you may use LMSA.

The other way around may be, considering that the LOS forum, recommend, not to erase system image, you may try with installing only the system image, either through fastboot, or TWRP, then installing LOS through TWRP.
