[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] VeeckDesign:
After a long time, I discovered that my device is actually a system with MTK 6580 chip. Can you find a system for this version of the chip? I found a firmware here, but I can not install it. The DRAM error of SP Tools always appears, indicating that the firmware was not made for my mobile phone model. Could you help me with that?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Rizzed:
Did some searching online and did not find any firmware pertaining to your current device, sorry. I could try extracting the systemUI.apk from the original firmware and make it into a flash able zip for you to install. Not sure if it would work, but would you like to try it out?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] VeeckDesign:
Yes, I want to try this. I hope it works.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Rizzed:
Wait... can I check with you whether you have recovery? Is it TWRP? Could you take a picture of it and post it here? If it's the stock recovery then we would have no way of flashing. Doubt TWRP is made for your device as well too.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] VeeckDesign:
Stock recovery :(

Is there any way to install TWRP?

Hi!

I changed the default black wallpaper for honor 8 and i can't found it. Where can i find the default black wallpaper?

If you go to the Themes app, you should be able to apply the default theme which will restore the wallpaper.

Just go to the play store and type in Honor 8 wallpapers.

There is 2/3 different apps. Not sure if the one your looking for is there but that's where I would look

[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] epdm2be:
Hi,

I couldn't find that black/pink wallpaper either so I've modified the included Halo-background to make it look better on the midnight-black model :)

Included is a zip-file containing 3 versions.

They're not exactly the same. The first one is more blue than purple but does look better and the second is more pink, the 3rd version is purple though but it isn't exactly the same.

But at least you have some choice and they resemble the original a tiny bit.

I hope you like my efforts ;)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] guardiola86:
Hello, I recently bought a HiTune T68 through Ebay, but the Windows Mobile is in English, the version is WM5. I would like to know if there is any way to change it and if it is possible to upgrade to WM6. Thanks.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Mattjp:
sorry this isn't related to your topic but I was wondering are you using the T68 in the USA? and if so what network?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] guardiola86:
Well, I think that it doesn't work in the USA, but better ask for it to the seller winlans on ebay. Here in Spain it works fine.

Anybody knows how can I upgrade in my HiTune T68 from WM5 to WM6 or change the language into spanish in the WM5. I asked the company but them said me that they only can turn it into spanish, so I had to send the mobile to them and I don't want. Any other way to change the language? Thanks for your help.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mimi31470:
Hello

I also bought a Hitune t68 throught ebay.

I have the same questions as you : I'll want to upgrade in WM6 and have French language.

If somebody has the solution, I'm interested
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taa2:
I don't have a physical keyboard attached (Bluetooth is off, no OTG dongle attached) to this tablet but for some reason it is permanently stuck in physical keyboard mode. When I bring up the keyboard icon from the drawer it allows me to change 'Physical keyboard' from ON to OFF, but it lies. :( Bringing it up again stubbornly shows it back to ON.

The first time I rebooted after installing XposedFreeInput, tapping into an input text field brought the on screen keyboard up right away and I almost fell out of my chair. I thought I was hallucinating. So I rebooted again just to make sure and now... it's again locked in physical keyboard mode. Previously I tried the Disable Desk Dock xposed module but that didn't help.

I realize XposedFreeInput was originally created to solve a Samsung problem ("[Q] Bluetooth keyboard switches input method", ...showthread.php?t=2216329), and Disable Desk Dock for a Sony.

Anyone have any idea why XposedFreeInput would only work the one time, and how can I get it to work again?

Can someone please capture and share the download URL or upload the OTA.zip for this build ?

I'm sure there are many beta 1 users (me included) who would be very grateful to get a chance to update their non-offiical beta builds.

If someone can create an Odin package of this build it would be even better but I guess we can use ZPK4 Odin and use Adb sideload to flash the OTA.

Thanks in advance !!

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Need root to access the update zip, people have already tried using ADB without root and failed too

WiFi seems better in this build? I'm getting a stronger signal and faster speed test results it seems
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
Hmm... didn't realize that...

What about using recovery and applying update from external storage ?

In any case, getting the OTA file would be one step in the right direction ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
That's the issue, we can't get the OTA zip without root in order to share with you, and if we already have root, we can't get the OTA

This has been the same problem since the 2nd release

We would have to download the OTA, then root, then capture the zip and copy to PC, but rooting after OTA would also be a problem as the phone reboots and likely clears caches, which will delete the OTA

There may be another method to capture the zip, but so far we haven't discovered it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
Where there's will there's a way.. but it's a little complicated.

Setup a caching proxy on a PC and use that proxy in the GS7 WiFi settings. Then when you download the OTA.. the PC would have the download in its cache.

If someone wants to give this a try I can help setting up such a proxy and get the file uploaded.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Yea that could work possibly, if the PC caches it and doesn't just route it direct

I think capturing the link using wireshark or something could be another method, but would the samsung servers allow a non Samsung registered device, such as a PC, to download the zip?

No doubt there is a way, but seems to be a PITA atm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
Lol.. When is it not PITA with non-rooted Samsungs??

In any case, I'm gamed to setup a Wingate proxy on a cloud server just to try and capture that damn OTA file... so if anyone wants to attempt an OTA download while setting their wifi temporarily to that proxy just PM me..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] libb:
It will be useful if you add a manual HOW TO DO IT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Yea I think people are going to prefer to set up their own proxies rather than use someone else's, as all traffic including sensitive data will be routed through the proxy, not just the OTA zip
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
Anyone make a flash able zip
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
After reading some of comments here I realize it's not as simple as I initially thought so here's how I'd try to do it ..

This is

not sure to work

because it cannot cache encrypted (SSL) traffic but it may be worth a shot.

Obviously, you will need to have your Phone either on Stock 6.0.1 or Beta 1 (ZPK4) to get the correct OTA image.

Phase 1 - Install a local proxy server on a computer in your network

======

Note: you need a Windows PC on to use the same WiFi network as your phone to reduce the number of possible issues

1. Download and install FreeProxy (I can't publish URLs but you can get at www[remove this space].handcraftedsoftware.org/index.php?page=download&op=getFile&id=2&title=FreeProxy-Internet-Suite

2. Find the FreeProxy in your start menu, right click to Run as Administrator

3. Create a local folder to store the proxy cache (e.g. C:\cache)

4. In FreeProxy go the "Define" --> Define Cache, provide the path to the folder you created and activate cache.

5. Go to "Start / Stop" and start the service - we have a runnig proxy which will save files to C:\cache (in this example)

6. Before we can connect to the proxy from the phone we need to allow this connection in the windows firewall

(if you are using a

3rd party security software

like Symantec, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, ESET, etc.. refer to its documentation on how to allow a specific port.)

7. Go to Windows Start Menu and write "Firewall" , open the Windows Firewall

8. Select "Advanced Settings"

9. In the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" go to "Inbound Rules"

10. create a new Rule, select Port, TCP, in the specific port write 8080, then next

11. Allow the connection , keep all three options checked, and name it Proxy and finish'

Now we need to note that PC's IP address (if you are familiar with command prompt you can simply use ipconfig)

12. On your PC, go to start and write network, open the "Network Connections"

13. Locate the adapter (WiFi, or Wired) that you are using

14. Rignt click it, select "status", then the details button, note the IPv4 address

Phase 2 - Configure your phone to use the proxy

======

1. on the phone go to settings, WiFi

2. long press the WiFi network you're connected to (should be the same network as your Windows PC), and select "Manage Network Settings"

3. Check the "show advanced options"

4. on the PC, check Proxy, select "Maunal"

5. in pproxy hostname enter the IP address of the PC that you noted in the previous section

6. in the port use 8080

7. click save

8. restart your phone

9. run the OTA update to get the update and install normally

Finally, check your C:\cache folder, if this worked you should have the OTA zip file there (may be a different file name but you should identify by its size)

Once this is done (even if it failed) make sure you remove the proxy settings from your phone WiFi, and you can stop the FreeProxy on your windows PC.

If it does work you may want to keep FreeProxy on your system for any future captured.. if it doesn't just uninstall it..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] libb:
One question: do you have OTA updates 1 and 2? If don't then it doesn't make a sense to grab OTA 3 because it expects that you have previous OTAs installed already. Without it the installation will crash or you can corrupt your system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] N-way:
I actually noted that in the original post but I used bold text now to make sure people don't miss it

Ideally, a registered beta tester would go back to the latest official 6.0.1.. then the OTA should be a full ZPL3 update (at least I'm hoping it would be)

Like I said, there's no guarantee it would work.. it's a possibility.

Obviously, a better solution would have been to use a transparent proxy with the router redirecting all traffic and using ssl decryption but it's way too complicated to setup..

Alternatively, if your router supports packet capture or tcpdump that data can show the OTA URL.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
You need to be registered for beta program for OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] robie_cz:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] emceecasher:
Hey how did you do that? Are you registered for BETA?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Only people who registered will get the OTA beta

You must have registered somewhere along the line, even after a clean flash it will still keep your phone / Samsung account registered and send you the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] robie_cz:
I just said, that you can download the whole ota file if you still don't have Beta version. and of course, you have to be registered for download it of course :).

anyone had any luck capturing the OTA URL ?

Did anyone try using

ADB logcat

to see if that URL is being recorded?

I noticed in the past Samsung used the following URL:

http://fota-s3-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/PHN/SM-XXXX/#####################.### (where XXXX is device name and ### is the OTA file name)

With that OTA zip file (especially going from 6.0.1 to L3 ) anyone should be able to get on the latest beta by sideloading it.

Thanks in advance !!

Okay, I tried to use the Proxy method but it seems the FOTA agent disregards the proxy settings and establishes a direct connection with Samsung's servers.

I tried to capture the URL by setting packet capture on my R7000 (XWRT) using tcpdump, but Samsung uses TLS for the session so that's a fail as well.

The only way to capture that data is to use a man-in-the-middle TLS/SSL inspection and import the certificate as a trusted root in the mobile.

Unfortunately, I currently don't have the resources I need for that next step...

I wonder who managed to get the entire ZPK4 odin package and how they did it.

Why are thinner smartphones considered better?

They harder to pick up.

They less robust.

They cant have as big batteries due to lack of space.

It seems in terms of design samsung peaked with the S5, leather back (better than metal design), removable battery, water resistant.

The very old galaxy ace had a brilliant design, nice and thick, edges of screen raised against screen so e.g. screen made no contact when face down and also not accidently touching edges of screen when picking up phone, metal edges, high quality cover for usb port.

Apple and now samsung seem to be doing the opposite of what I consider good design qualities (removing headphone jack to make thinner? wtf), I keep buying gel covers for my phones so they thicker and hence easier to pick up, the covers also provide a raised edge so I am not accidently touching the screen and to give extra robustness.
