so once again what seems imposible in windows , gets done with ease in linux.

[MENTION=4742015]clu1688[/MENTION] if you do not use linux there is a good alternative. I read a post on xda news and tried it out myself.

There is a virtual machine image you can use for working on your phone. It is called F.W.U.L. (forget windows use linux)

It is meant to be used as a live disk install.(temporary system) or it can be used in virtual box.

It has all the android tools you could need.

Linux splash tool works in this FWUL program?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
it did when i tried in Feb

its a live disk so you need to install each boot up, if i remember. I will boot it up now and look again

the program loads and opens. It excepts the scatter with mt6737. But I'm having trouble with handing off usb port from host to virtual machine before preloader timeout. and end up with phone going to charging screen instead of staying in preload mode.

Maybe is not used in virtual box but used as real live cd.

From above discussions, I feel it is better I simply install a version of Linux on my old small netbook,

[MENTION=5312578]mrmazak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION], can you guys recommend a Linux version? I hope it is some kind of simple version just enough to do this kind of work.

Thanks,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
I'm not a regular Linux user. I don't have recommended build.

But I think I found a work around for using flash tool on windows , even though it has error about chip type. I have not tested it out myself yet, so bear with me.

There is a file in the flash tool program folder. The folder that was unzipped from the download. The file is "option.ini".

I think there is a hack where you can tell it to ignore chip the error.

When I get back to my PC I will look again and try it.

nevermind. I was thinking about "multi port flash tool"

I have not been able to use that tool, so never mind.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clu1688:
[MENTION=5312578]mrmazak[/MENTION], thank you very much for helping along. :) We need more folks like you on XDA.

[MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION], could you recommend a linux distribution for me? I have MSI Wind U100, a mini netbook from some years ago, I can convert it to Linux machine. Could you also give advice on how to proceed in a Linux machine, such as, software packages, drivers, etc. Thanks in advance,

Edit, did some research on Linux and my netbook, it seems MINT v14 MATE edition would be a good version to use?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Any version would be fine, I use Ubuntu Mate, cause I like old style, I have used Linux since 2003, It's looks has changed, but Mate makes the desktop look like it did back then.

Mint is green Ubuntu.

Looks like stock rom, got a small security update, when I get time will look it over and see if anything in the update helps on this rom.

I switched to stock rom, to be able to install the OTA upgrade.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
I keep trying to catch the update too, but I allways get "your device is up to date"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
I have it installed about 100MB so not very big update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
This is just my own speculation, but based on some recent "reports" of blu still using Adups for there fota and Adups being accused of over collecting data from users devices. Add to that an un-confrimed statement that BLU is going to switch away from Aduosfota and move toward GoogleFota. Then the recent update to R1-HD, some have claimed that there AdupdFota.akp was renamed to apk_ on its own, perhaps this update is intended to dissable the Adupsfota ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
edit:

wrong thread

I removed the /system/app/nfc folder (lineageos 13 rom) and of course that removed the nfc apk. Now battery life has almost trippled. This phone from stock says it does not have nfc anyway.

That would make sense as to why the logcat is flooded with nfc-service-crash and restart messages.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
I have ordered a Blu life one X2 mini, so I won't be updating this rom, I had planned on doing a new build this month with all the current security updates, but decided not to, I plan on working on roms, TWRP and so forth for my new phone.

If you're on windows 10 and have an UEFI motherboard, you may have to disable driver signature enforcement (I think under Secure Boot?) to let the drivers load. Else, as they aren't signed by Microsoft, they may not load.

There was almost 50% battery remained before I went to sleep last night. This morning it was powered off when I get up. I wonder where the battery power has gone:confused:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbb14:
try a full cycle, from 0 to 100% with a 0.5amps charger. it will take 4 hours or so, but it will be great for your battery health
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] China 699:
Is there any prove shows that the rapid charger will harm battery health and reduce the battery life? It is a vicious cycle.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helper85:
Look, your phone is constantly awake. The doze mode does not kick in. Make sure which app(s) is/are keeping your phone awake and do(es) not allow it to go to sleep.

Since some day's (2 or 3) I have the same problem. Maybe a bad update ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Maybe a bad battery like dozens of others? Check your battery capacity (health) with Accubattery. The attachment shows a shutdown at 50%. Normal behavior is a near horizontal line when the phone is not being used.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] China 699:

Never the less, my 6P shutdown itself several time sine last one or two updates with almost full power or with the AC charger on. It never happened before.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] China 699:
I am in China and thanks a lot to our Great Firewall, maybe it is the reason that my phone is constantly awake. But normally, it will consume 10% of the power during the whole night. The discharge curve is almost a line with a -15 slope.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Your geographic location has nothing to do with it, and when the battery is healthy a normal drain is between 0.2 and 0.4%/h. This means that overnight you should expect a drain of 3-4% after 9 hours. If your phone continues to shut down by itself I'd say your battery is the culprit... especially if upon boot it shows a different percentage than when it shut down. Check your battery health first, and if it is OK ( say >85-90%), then install a battery drain app to find any wakelock, process or app keeping your phone awake. BBS or GSam are two.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgash_79:
Me too

It happens to me too.

Today my phone switched off when it was near 30%.

This behavior started with the last update to Android 7.1.2 .

I'm subscribed to beta program and until final version it never happened.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Agreed- and also why the battery is suspect. You neglected to show your Health tab which is where the estimated capacity is. No need to post another attachment, just tell us what the capacity is. If your phone keeps shutting down and dropping to zero, I would replace the battery anyway. Lucky for you the part is made in China and easy to obtain.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] China 699:
The capacity in Health tab is > 80%. The problem in China is we have too many batteries which claim to be original part, the price vary from several US dollars to 20 dollars. I bought a 5 dollars one and replaced the old one the week before last week, it is not easy. Now the capacity is almost 101%, the duration is longer than the old one, 10 -15% percent max.

And there was one time it shutdown itself several days after the replacement.

[GUIDE] SUCCESS!!! SIM Unlock Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, Note 5

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-samsung-t3130294

However, the first post has been removed due to the poster promoting paid services.

I am interesting in finding out what was in that post, other than the paid service. I've been digging for days and I'm stuck. I'd really like to be able to use my S6 but it's stuck on the Sprint network. My post-pay plan is on Verizon. I tried contacting Sprint but since I don't have the account details where it was activated previously, they refuse to unlock it for me. I tried paying a service $6 to unlock it but they never responded. I can't afford one of the services that's $40, I'm between jobs.

Does anyone know what was in that thread before? Or can point me in the direction of a solution? I have no problems dealing with the technical side if I have a tiny bit of guidance. It would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] swaydude:
If you're no longer under contract and have paid off your phone. Just call sprint to unlock your phone. They have to because it's the law.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] stoag:
The thread I was speaking of didn't include any technical information as I had anticipated. Perhaps at one point but not when it was removed.

Swaydude, thanks for the info. I'll contact Sprint again. Everywhere I've looked says the IMEI is clean. The phone wasn't mine originally. I got it from my sister when she got her S7 a while back. She doesn't remember her account information. Apparently it was originally setup through a boyfriend but she'd been paying it for the last year or so. I'm not sure. She's all over the place sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Johnrob011045:
You can try a number of things. If you want to switch to Verizon, you need a Verizon compatible imei. You'll need to lie to them over the phone. It's best to just get the service setup on somebody's Verizon phone, then switch the SIM cards out. (Give them back theirs and install the one you setup in your own phone.) First you'll need to unlock your phone..if you're rooting then you need idoneapps 3.15 & 3.18. There's a lot of fake versions around the internet being shared, if you pm me I'll send you the real ones. There's also cheap services on eBay that allow remote access to your computer's usb ports. People can change your imei using these but you're not likely going to get an imei that's compatible with Sprint or Verizon from those services. It's important to understand the value your original imei carries because it's worth $60 and will work with all the service providers. Changing means there's no possible way to get it back without sending your phone to Samsung and that's a really unreliable place to expect repairs after you've rooted. To avoid this you should install the latest 5.1.1 update and pay for the new idoneapps. It works without root, and can unlock your phone without worries. The issue with this is getting your new apns to save properly. You might need to reboot for them to show up after you save them, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times.. Or enter ##DATA## on your dialer, press tap on edit data profile, enter your msl code and then manually edit your apns from the profile menu. You'll need to download and flash the update from Odin and run the app with the imei package, it show do all the work for you apart from using Odin to downgrade. Also note that downgrading isn't that easy since the update binary level has to match the device level on specific partitions. This is why I suggest the latest 5.1.1 update from Sprint, because the app doesn't provide your msl on the newer updates without root.

Let me first start off by saying that I just signed up here as it looked like a good forum to be a part of for mobile device mods, etc. Also I hope that I'm not coming off on the wrong foot by immediately seeking help and info for my device.

The above being said I'm looking for a bit of input and knowledge as to how I could go about converting my Korean model Samsung Galaxy s8+ to be more like the standard common US model? Some things that are bundled or part of the phone is strictly Korean only one of these things being the web browser and also a few other things.

Also because of this being a Korean Korea Telcom model s8 it gets weather via my sim or service provider. I tried to change / add my current location to get weather for my current location but it was a no go. Also the phone is unlocked though at times I occasionally get the no service icon pop up in which I'm unable to make or receive calls. And if this is a help my current wireless carrier is AT&T.

Any and all help and info would be greatly appreciated regarding how I can go about converting or making this device as close to possible as the US model.

OK, in a nutshell....

Having only read online reviews I liked the V20 more.

Then after picking up my G6 and handling it for about 90 minutes I wasn't so sure....

Until the owner of this V turned up. 5 minutes with this and I knew the G was going.

So, after less than 2 hours with my G I exchanged it for this V20, LG Quick Cover and £150 cash ?

That's my story. And I'm well pleased.

Only one thing would make this my best phone ever.... yep, root. The amount of stuff I've done with my rooted Z2 over the past 3 years has been awesome and great fun, and it's still a brilliant phone.
