First, have you verified that your APN(Access Point Name) settings are correct and that those settings are confirmed to work for what you want?

If you have gone through every guide and all of the various menus and settings that allow changing network or radio settings, you can always try the following:

Try backing up your personal data on the device, focus on backing up your personal data such as downloaded files, photos, videos, app data(not necessarily the app itself, just the app data for your user installed apps), call logs, sms/mms messages, contacts and anything you want to save other than user installed apps, these can be reinstalled later and the app data for them can be restored from your backed up app data.

After you have your data backed up, find and download a copy of the exact firmware version/build number as the firmware that is currently installed on the device then reflash that firmware on the device via Odin, placing each portion of your firmware in its appropriate slot in Odin(i.e. AP>AP, BL>BL, CP>CP, CSC>CSC) If your firmware package has two different CSC files use the non "Home" CSC file, it will wipe your data(which is why I said to back up your data so you can restore it after the flashing process), also, make sure the "re-partition" option is CHECKED in Odin. This will rebuild your partitions to correct any issues that may have been present.

Once the device reboots and you get signed into the device, you can then go through the process restoring your backed up data. (do not forget to find and disable the Find Mu Device settings in your Google settings, this will prevent you from having potential issues with Factory Reset Protection).

If your device is supposed to natively support the feature you are looking for, this should straighten out anything interfering with the function, provided that it is a default feature for your device.

If that doesn't help, it may have something to do with your carrier or your device's radio settings that can only be accessed by finding out how to get to your device's radio service menu. What you may or may not need to be changed in the radio service menu(if that is what needs to be done to correct the issue), I couldn't begin to tell you.

Then again, if it is the carrier doing this, whether they know it or not(their tech support people could just be unaware of the specifics or too inexperienced to understand the issue), you could be chasing your tail.

Hi all. How to create a .img file from a folder in linux. It keeps erroring out with

"error: build_directory_structure: can't set android permissions - built without android support"

I went to drill into its source code at :

make_ext4fs/src/extras/ext4_utils/make_ext4fs.c at master · rendiix/make_ext4fs

termux make_ext4fs sefcontext_decompile img2simg simg2img - rendiix/make_ext4fs

github.com

It shows that incase if the

#include <selinux/android.h>

line doesnt include it properly the ANDROID variable wouldnt have been set I guess.

But I have the relevant selinux packages installed.

This really keeps confusing me. Any ideas?

Or can this be done using mkfs command..

I figured it out. I saw a post on THIS page that said to make sure wifi calling was activated so I went to the Boost Mobile site to see if my plan included wifi calling. It said that you had to register an address in order for it to work. I did that and had to restart my phone and it's now working. When I initially contacted Boost about it not working they made me check to make sure wifi calling was on under setting/connections and it was but apparently that doesn't mean anything. You'd think it'd be greyed out or something. Anyway, thanks again for your help. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Currently I am running Lineage20 GSI with no super user access and my device is not rooted. But one of the govt. apps I installed says that my device is rooted and doesn"t open. I confirmed that my device is not rooted with rootchecker app. I think the reason for this is my unlocked bootloader . Is it safe in trying to relock bootloader while in GSI image. I know its dangerous to relock while in a custom rom. But is it also true for gsi rom. MY device partions are mesed up so I really dont wanna flash entire stock firmware for just one app to run.

Can anyone help me or suggest another solution for this problem.

[General Questions and Answers] JackDSRS:
In my tests it did, but not through a phone case. I used to use my phone with a dash cam app and it'd get hot after awhile and shut itself down. I installed something that could monitor the temperature, mostly just to see that the phone case would slow down the heat initially, but then retain it longer once it overheated.

I tried a couple of different phone coolers, and while gaming pales in comparison to being fixed to a dash mirror in the blazing sun, it did manage to keep the phone from overheating for an extra hour or so.

Since my phone was in a fixed position, I notched it up and ran a sort of DIY rig from the AC vent to the back of the phone mount where it wouldn't block the camera, and that solved the long term issue.

So keeping the back of the phone cool, even by just moving the hot air of your adrenaline soaked palms away from it will help.

YMMV

Non-rooted user here...

Now that X-plore has Shizuku support, it can use its own file sync ops to sync the /data directory...usually.

First, X-plore can integrate a lot of cloud providers like part of your file system. It also has a sync function that allows you to sync copy, move, or delete between Internal, External, installed APK's, and cloud drives. Mind you, I'm not sure if MiX has a sync function, but it can definitely do manual versions of all that.

Now here's the issue: even Android isn't consistent on the same device, much less between devices. I can easily sync Internal and External Android/data directories on my phone with three different apps or more. But on my tablet, its a battle ONLY on the External storage. It happily lets me sync the entire Internal Android folder.

Weirder yet, depending on the subdirectory, if it's in the Internal Android/data folder structure, most can easily be copied to a temporary directory, including a cloud directory, without a fuss. Again, with MiX or X-plore at least.

[General Questions and Answers] JackDSRS:
So, I am seriously interested, as an old man diagnosed with two super rare genetic disorders with funky side effects, if you're right handed or not, and if scrolling requires swiping down, maybe with your thumb? Consistent increased heat, not necessarily light, will affect a display over time. Once damaged, a systematic short of sorts would begin to heat up with use.

Not to sound like an idiot. I don't sweat, among other weird things with ADLD and NDAXOA. Unusual epidermal temperatures for disorders aren't that unusual. Asymmetrical symptoms are not unusual and things like Reynaud's can affect one side of the body and not the other.

That said, I run some ops where I can't turn off my tablet or even lock it without killing the app I'm running. Big video conversions, slow offline AI upscaling, massive file encryption or compression. Prevention is the only sure way to prevent it as much as possible.

Screensavers prevent burn-in but still generate heat. Since finding Shizuku, I found a program called ScreenOff. That's literally what it does. It completely turns off your screen while everything under it continues to run. Mashed into a widget or edge app, just tap it if you need to step away.

I recall another app named something like Mesh. It would turn off a fine mesh of pixels on your screen off and then alternate them with an opposing pattern pattern later. It didn't bother me for reading or viewing movies, but made graphics work impossible.

Just an old man rambling.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Yea it certainly won't have been caused by that for me. I only would use it for up to half an hour a day, sometimes not at all, sometimes more. Having read reviews of some of Lenovo's latest tablets, it seems even they go yellow at the edges. Manufacturers now just seem to put this rubbish type of display that just can't handle heat in their devices. If they compensated it by making them thicker with better cooling, or used the same screen technology they used years ago, it would not have this issue. I returned my samsung tablet to amazon and their repair service did replace the display. I have no confidence at all that this or another issue won't occur again though.

It is now the 3rd samsung tablet I've had to return due to either stuck sub pixals or this yellowing issue. It just seems like they don't have any quality control at all to me. So frustrating as they supply you with a great amount of updates for far longer than the screens can last without issues.

I bricked my Alcatel 3X (5058A) by attempting to flash a Pixel 6 image onto it using Fastboot in an effort to upgrade to Android 11. Unfortunately, this did not work. During the process, I encountered several issues:

1. I tried to flash the Pixel bootloader but couldn't find the appropriate bootloader name partition for my device.

2. I then attempted to flash TWRP Recovery, hoping it would help flash the entire image. However, this resulted in bricking my recovery as well.

As it stands:

- I cannot enter bootloader mode to use Fastboot.

- I cannot access the operating system since it's stuck on the incompatible Pixel 6 image.

Following advice from this thread, I used SPB Flash Tool to try and restore my firmware. Here’s what I did:

1. I used a bypass tool provided in the thread to disable protection, as the device requires a DA file. I successfully disabled the protection.

2. I used the "Format All + Download" option on SP Flash Tool to download the firmware, as suggested by other members.

While the tool successfully formatted the device, it failed to download the firmware. The error message I received from SP Flash Tool is detailed below:

STATUS_SEC_PL_VFY_FAIL (0xC0020006)

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this error and successfully restore my device.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

I am attempting to put a stock image on my new Samsung Galaxy A25. I bought it off of Ebay and it came with Xfinity Mobile nonsense on it. I would Like to get it back onto just regular ol Samsung stock.

Looking for the model, I can't find where to download the Stock version. Even the XDA forums doesn't have a Samsung spot for the A25.

Any trusted spot to download stock for this device?

The model is specifically the SM-A256U (some have a 1 at the end, which in the About Phone, it doesn't have that?). I checked out samfirm and I didn't notice it there. So I'm unsure as to where another trusted source is.

Thank you.

Generally speaking, in most cases, you can not apply stock updates on devices that have a modified system partition. Typically, you have to remove root and any other system modifications and if you have TWRP installed you need to reinstall stock recovery.

Will rooting a phone give me same view as USB Drive?

When you plug a USB stick and click it on computer, it will show every folder on root.

In my experience of plugging Android phones into computer, the first thing that greet me is single folder denoting the phone. Only after that i can see the multitude of folders inside the phone.

Also cutting files to/from USB doesnt change its Datecreated property, unlike with phone. I wonder if these are connected.

Having error 70/size errors with Gapps install. See details below. Also total noob/not a developer.

I've tried searching Google and this fourm, to no avail.

Working on trying to use a couple different custom roms on rooted device. Older device with older rom(s) (6.0/marshmallow or 7.0/nougat). Having trouble with rom install plus pico gapps (smallest gapps available; says system partition too small). I've found a way to change partition sizes (combo of these guides, adapted - https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-dangerous-resize-system-partition.4315365/ and https://access.redhat.com/articles/1196353) , but if I do it before rom install, it reverts back once the rom install completes. Doing it after rom install...I'm not sure that's really working either.

I've tried to find gapps alternatives, but with the "vintage" android versions most don't work/have versions. I can't run Aurora gapps - freezes/stalls. I did try LiteGapps and got the following error(s):

"- failed make dir /dev/tmp/kopi

E:Error executing updater binary in zip /sdcard/(name of zip)"

What I don't know/understand...when I install the rom after reparationing it reverts back as I said. Is there a way to (re)write the rom to rewrite the partitions as I see fit (larger system at the expense of the data partition)? Or what's that process, I guess? Does installing the rom change the partitions? Or can you remove that part?

The use of a "gapps config txt" file seems less straightforward. I can't seem to figure out how to actually make it, nevermind what I should be telling it to remove. (I've seen the instructions on the github, and frankly, they are confusing.)

Okay look I'm really frustrated right now so I'm not even sure if I'm posting right or not. Apologies if I sound like a moron, etc. My background is in computer programming. Android is like learning mandarin to me. I have a Samsung Galaxy a14. Its frp locked. I cant find the android version. I paid for tenorshare 4ukey for Android a while ago, and it doesn't work. I've updated it and it still tells me to do the *#0*# trick in the emergency dialer. So does every single search result on google, yahoo, bing, duckduckgo, and etc. I've literally looked everywhere. The dialer code doesn't work. Period. They fixed it. The notification part in 4ukey DOES send a notification. It lets me go to galaxy store. I can get online from there no problem. Issue is, I can't install anything because even getting into settings, they fixed it to where you cant click on certain options. Set a screenlock, apps info, etc. Biometrics. None of those. Certain options just are either greyed out entirely or you tap them and nothing happens. I cant sign into my Samsung account because it wants 2 step verification and uses the number of the phone. Which I can't get into messages on. That being said I cant tap the option for install from this source either because it's not possible. I can download anything just cant install. Please help. I used a bunch of direct open links on techeligible.com and they work decent, but not all of them. I dont know my way around a android that well, but im not a total noob. I have a Acer nitro 5 maxed out on ram and ssd space that I can make do backflips. I went to college for computer science but this android thing eludes me. Just FYI I know DOS and windows, never learned linux, although I have a version I can mount by image file and one I can boot to. I literally have never used them in my life. So if the answer is in Linux please don't talk to me like a three year old, but explain it to me like I'm a 3 year old, if you take my meaning. Please and thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] Fritzoskinnick:
Ive done that. Also duckduckgo, bing, Yahoo. I just read online yesterday that for the August 2023 security patch there isnt a fix yet. Mine is November of 2023.( I think. I don't have it in front of me right now.) Every guide and every single piece if software that I've gotten not only doesnt work, it relies on the *#0*# hack in the emergency dialer. It doesnt work on mine. I hit the last # and the code disappears like it would normally before it opens the hidden menu. But nothing happens. Believe me I may be a noob yo android but I can make my laptop do backflips. Ive built them since I was 12. I just dont know phones because they didnt really come out until a couple decades after that. But believe me if I'm asking a question the first thing I did before that was search on google. Amd every other search engine.
[General Questions and Answers] Fritzoskinnick:
Also a lot of the guides tell you to use an app file, like frp bypass.apk, to do it. The problem is, I got to settings by using an online quick link on techeligible.com, and about half of the tricks to get rid of frp dont work. For example, you tap on accounts, or try opening developer options, or even in the Google search bar, nothing works. You tap on some thing and it wont let you in. Other stuff will but nothing of consequence will. Google, you can type into the search box, hit search and what you typed disappears and it does nothing. So none of the guides even apply, and it's not possible to allow an unknown source to install an app. You can download them until you're pink. But they won't install. And that's one of the options in settings that's greyed out.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When I searched used those terms, I found many guides and videos that do not involve the dialer or talkback, have you tried those? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be saying that every single guide you've tried involved the dialer code.

Be more thorough and more patient in your searching and you might actually get somewhere.
[General Questions and Answers] Fritzoskinnick:
Okay listen. I don't know what the snippy attitude is about. If you don't want to answer my question then don't talk to me. That's first. Second I never said anything about TalkBack. You did. Not me. Third, like I said I've looked everywhere. I've been trying to crack this phone for quite a while and a OnePlus Nord 20 even longer. I've searched. And searched. And searched. I've read more **** than I care to go into. But don't come at me like that. And about 90% of them do involve the dialer code. Or an frp.apk of some type. Ive also tried 4ukey for Android and droidkit. Paid for both of them. I've tried frphijacker by hagar, and I've tried gsm tool. I've tried 3 or 4 other little no name programs and nothing works. Hey here's an idea that might be beneficial, if you have a clue what I need to be looking for how about tell me instead of looking down your nose at me. That's the whole point of this thread I thought is so we can actually figure stuff out without dealing with that crap. Let me do you a favor tho because I'm not going to hash crap like this out online. 541 320 4437. If you want to help me fine. If you want to act all high and mighty whatever. But that crap is unnecessary. And besides like I said, there's more than one place I've read online that a method hasnt been found yet that works on the new security patch. Maybe you need to research more if you didn't read that.
