Is that the modified Odin? What does it say when you try and flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JJohnson1988:
Hello,

I am trying to work around/bypass the password lockscreen for a friend that accidentally set it (I think her kid did) and doesn't know what the actual password is. I've already tried ADM and Samsung's "Find My Mobile" service but neither were helpful.

So I'm pretty sure my only two options now are to backup the existing data to my PC (though I'm not sure how given that I don't have access to important functions like ADB, custom recovery, etc.) and then factory reset the phone, OR just deal with the KNOX/warranty flag being tripped and delete the necessary files from /data/system using a custom recovery. If there's another alternative I'm missing, I would love to hear it.

Excuse me for already jumping ahead, but assuming I go the latter route, what would be the easiest way to flash a custom recovery? I've already looked at various other posts on this phone's board regarding rooting and everything looked quite involved.

The phone says it's a G935PVPS4BQE1, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

P. S. I currently come from a OnePlus One, though I previously had a Galaxy S3 and remember quite vividly how much of a huge pain it was to properly root the device and deal with KNOX. I imagine the rooting process is even more of a pain with more recent Samsung phones.

I bought my 8525 off of ebay... the OS was upgraded too Windows Mobile 6 and it had the HTC Tytn 2 theme on it.. I insert my simcard and everything works well.. then some one calls me.. and the phone freezes.. now I am extremely new to the whole Windows Mobile game.. so I googled and did a hard reset on it.. after it finished restarting.. I notice that it is not reading the sim any more.. always says NO Service.. then I clicked on Start and then Phone.. nothing happened.. so I let it sit there.. tried the phone option again after half an hr or so and this time it went to the Phone option but.. it says something around the lines of can not check the status of sim emergency calls only.. If I go to network and select find network it says Cannot register on Selected Network Choose another network or disconnect your data connection and try again.. while no data connections nor Wifi is running.. Then I go to Band and if I try to Select the GSM 850/1900 and HSDPA 850/1900 it says Warning unable to change GSM/UMTS band Please try again later.. under device Info and next to IMEI I see blank space.. and try to select it says.. Then I found this site and read and read and read.. afterwards I went to Start.. Settings.. System and then Device Info.. Under there I see the following:

Rom Version: 3.30.2.1

Rom Date: 04/17/07

Radio Version: NONE

Protocol Version: NONE

ExtROM version: 2.11.255.102

So I figured maybe the radio part of the flash has gone bad.. so I downloaded the cingular update Flash.. it started and after 11% it frooze.. and came back with the ERROR: 262 then I had to do the mtty1[1].42.exe version to restore the phone back from Boot Mode.. then I tried a few other Flashes and all stick around 11%.. Then I tried just radio and they dont even go past 0%.. Can some one please help me

PS Sim is fine.. it works great with another phone.. also tried another working sim on the TYTN same issue

I was able to downgrade to windows mobile 5 using the guide here http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27

the radio still shows as NONE and so does the protocol..

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] WatchingOwl:
Hi,

I live in the UK and have recently purchased the Axon 7 A2017G from Germany. Despite the vendor confirming before purchasing that it would come with a UK adapter, it hasn't come with one and only a two pin EU plug has been included (*sigh*, I have contacted them and currently awaiting a response).

In the meantime, does anyone have any recommendations for an EU to UK adapter for this phone please, that will still enable the fast charge to be utilised?

Thanks v much

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
Any adapter will do. They don't influence the charger since it adapts to the voltage from 100V to 240V.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] satand:
hello,

i'm using the app "dual sim selector pro" since my OP3T on android marshmallow for a sufficient dual sim management. unfortunately, on my OP5 it is not working as it should....

in phone/settings/sim&network i set all options to SIM2 as default sim. when i make a call in the phone app the dual sim selector's dual sim selection pops up (everything is fine up to here). but after choosing a sim in the popup, the call in progress screen gets minimized to the statusbar area. i always have to click on "touch to return" to get the in call screen back.

any solution for this problem?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] mcwarre:
Have you tried not using the app? I use the standard software installed without problems. Or a silly question - if the SIM in the SIM2 slot is your default then why don't you swap the SIMs around (unless it is band related)?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] satand:
yes, the standard software does not have the functionalty i want.

it does not change anything to swap the sim cards...same behavior.

I've had EmojiOne 3.0 for a while now and it's worked pretty well. But I've noticed that I can't long hold these emojis ?,?,?,?, etc. for the skin tones. But all the other skin-tone supported emojis work just fine. Has anyone managed to make EmojiOne work correctly?

I've already renamed EmojiOne as NotoColor and hTC emojis in system/fonts/. It's worked just fine prior to the 3.0 update (maybe even a little bit after the initial release, don't really remember).

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] blumi76:
Is there a good custom ROM for the Galaxy A3 2017?

I can't find anything, who can help?

When I root the A3, can I remove the samsung apps I don't like and others apps I don't like?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] bughunt3r:
you can´t find anything because there are no custom ROMs for the Galaxy A3 2017.

But if you just want to deactivate some of those useless samsung apps use the Package Disabler Pro app. This app can deactivate all system apps and doesnt need root.

[Huawei Ascend G6] turi2:
i have huawei g6 u00 locked bootloader with stock rom , rooted with busybox and the phone shows the famous "user data partition has crashed" this is the result of corrupt partitions /data and /cache....

what have i tried so far:

i managed to install busybox with parted but when i touch the cache partition the system went lockdown and become read only system....

i manged to make calls with adb but every time i use mmi code there is an error...

almost every change revert back excpet installed busybox..

i can temporally with root genius and tried e2fsck partitions but due to bad magic block failed to repair.

update with hisuite cannot be done becuase i have the last firmware

update with external sdcard dload or adb also failed

format factory trough recovery failed mount /cache and /data

bootloader locked so right now fastboot out of question

i even tried mount external partition as /data and /cache just to make phone reboot...

have a look at this http://www.dotandroid.com/android-root-guides/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/

it's looks good but my phone isn't realy hard breaked so i can't go "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" mode should i make it break?

other than that i have searched soulotion Thoroughly in xda,google and even facebook group but no results.

right now i search for:

1)open the bootloader (for free without charge).

i have tried the offical way but it got the message "Log in your Huawei ID for continuously 14 days on your phone which you need to

unlock" but obviously i cant do that because the phone almost dead...

Furthermore even to get the product id i was forced to use id generator because when i use something like{ adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:*#*#1357946#*#*} give me mmi error

i have even tried this https://xdaforums.com/ascend-g6/general/huawei-ascend-g4-4g-l-11-instant-t3190617 but maybe because i can't dial *#*#2846579#*#* i cant do it...

so if you know free unoffical way to open the bootloader which doesn't require dialing it will be big help.

btw if my details are(from the back of the phone):

serial number:H2QDU14902006527

imei:357485036189548

maybe someone know how to magically extract the code from hauwei?

2)temporarily fix

because i need the bootloader code maybe i can copy somefiles to the temp system and make the phone at least browse to hauewi website?

3)last resort-run the system from external sd card

like https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf701/help/dead-mmc-ideas-t2830332/page2 {look for post #17 by lexelby}

lexelby managed to extract macallan.fstab from boot.img i have used ife134.exe and ext4 unpacker and got nothin... but even if i did get somethi ng i don't know how to modify macallan.fstab so please explain how to do this.i also suspect that with stock rom and locked bootloader this option is also blocked...

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xenios:
I seem to be having a weird issue with my S8+. Whenever I open a Facebook notification, instead of going into the already open Facebook app and refreshing to the Notification point, I get a new Facebook app instance launched (up to 3 at a time).

Also the erratic notifications are not visible in the main app, even if I refresh.

I have only one Facebook account, no third party FB apps. Just the Facebook (not Beta) app and FB Messenger app (and that works OK).

Given that the FB has burned through half my 2GB data allowance this month I'm inclined to blame some of it on the triple instance eating through resources.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] burrzoo:
I've been reading a lot on how the real FB app is a total battery hog and Data hog due to running background processes. I can't comment on your odd issue when opening FB but suggest you consider an FB alternative. I'm trying out Friendly for FB. It includes Messenger too. Seems to be way less intrusive (running in background) but I can't quote any stats for you. I am seeing better battery life now. I don't look too much at data usage since I have unlimited. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
It's because the Facebook app sucks. I would suggest turning any auto play/upload options to save data by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xenios:
One issue was that. Had it off on my Nexus 6P. Then forgot to turn Autoplay off on this one (and thinking that Autoplay was off by default on Cellular. It wasn't).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
Yeah that was burning a lot of people when Facebook first enabled it and of course it's on by default in the app when you install it clean.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hubmub:
Same issue!

I'm also a Nexus 6P upgrader, and I'm experiencing the same issue! It's actually the ONLY annoyance I have with the 8+, though I was also quite fond on generic Android, so I'm working to adapt my phone settings to that experience, as much as I can...

I'll be interested to see if there's a solution to this. Currently, I'm just avoiding clicking on the notifications, or remembering to close the extra Facebook app(s) if I do.

-Don
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xenios:
I have at times used many alternatives like Friendly, especially with my Nexus 6P which had an awfull battery, but keep going back to FB apps. Seem more featured and polished to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] russellcausier:
Yeah I have this too not seen a fix yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gian006:
Same thing happening to me. Are you also getting the Facebook status bar issue where it's going wonky all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mobilehavoc:
I think as a workaround if you just launch FB app and go to notifications within the app you are fine. As you said if you go from a FB notification it seems to open a new FB process which is definitely not good for battery or memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xenios:
Problem is the app doesn't show the (same) notifications I get from SystemUI. So I get different notifications from Android and different from the app. It's like they are fighting each other.

I tried disabling the Samsung preinstalled Facebook packages but the issue remains.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xenios:
I seem to have resolved the issue.

First a couple of notes.

I've had the phone since May. I got the June and July updates, but issue was not resolved.

I did a full reset and issue persisted.

I did a full reset without any restores from Google or Samsung. Didn't even login to my accounts. Same thing.

So I did a full flash of the latest official ROM using Odin. In the process I used the European unbranded CSC instead of my provider's (CYV Cyta Vodafone).

Problem solved. So apparently it was something to do with that specific branch. Minor market would also explain why I seem to be the only one reporting this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 2879886:
Hmmmm! I seem to have this problem. Not rooted on a G955W. Anymore clues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] britchel:
I do have it as well
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] V8killerCRX:
Same issue on note 8

I seem to have a similar issue where Facebook will have more than one instance running after a while. I can alternate between the two instances running by pushing home and then going back into the app so for instance it will be in a video where I left off and then when I push home it will go to a an instance where I am commenting on a post and then when I push home again and go back it will go back to the video. The only way to temporarily fix it is to force quit the app for me.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] OrionBG:
Hey guys,

Does any of you knows if the MTCD head-units provide 12v power over the FM antenna connector?

Most cars antennas these days require power either over the coaxial cable or separately.

My original multimedia system in the car had times better reception than my MTCD unit.

BTW my car is a Great Wall Hover H6 (also known as Haval H6) a Chinese SUV.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] sirleeofroy:
Hi There,

My MTCD (GS) unit has a separate "ANT" wire which is used to power the antenna, the antenna connector itself is not powered and I don't believe any of them are. :)

Hope that helps.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] OrionBG:
I remember the ANT wire and supposedly it is connected but still the reception is bad.

Most VAG cars for instance, after 1997 are using powered antennas and the stock radios are providing power to the antenna trough the antenna cable itself. There are many adapters for aftermarket radios like THIS one for instance.

I'm not sure from what car the Chinese copied the antenna assembly... the entire Dashboard looks very similar to a Honda CRV but who knows...
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] sirleeofroy:
The adaptor you linked to is similar to what I use for my DAB+ however, my FM reception was fine before I was using that. I have the adaptor so that I can pick up DAB+ signal via my normal non-powered antenna.

Where have you connected the "ANT" wire?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] OrionBG:
To be fair I don't remember, but I do remember something called antenna power (or something similar). I'll be upgrading my PX3 board to PX5 soon so I'll double check everything again.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
It's a separate wire, labeled many times ant_power or ant.. The cable-color is blue. It provides +12 at power on.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] fabro91:
I have the same problem. I tried an adapter but no results.

If someone find a solution, it could be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] psychosis.:
I was having a lot of trouble trying to follow guides that instruct using Odin Multi Downloader, it simply would not detect the Galaxy Mini while Odin v3.xx did.

I downloaded this ops file and Odin Multi Downloader either from links that user yagya or the guide author provided, I was using versions 4.28 4.38 4.42 4.44 none of them detect my galaxy mini.

My pc does detect the phone, the usb drivers are installed, the usb cable is in perfect condition(newly purchased and official by samsung).

TL;DR title. Kies is not running, nor is kies tray agent, ss_conn_service.exe is running, usb drivers installed, cable is good, using this ops file, phone currently has stock rom installed.

Currently all I want is to increase my internal memory size. My PDA: S5570IXXND1

I'm following this guide: [HACK] Increase Internal Memory Size to Whatever You Want! by Doc_cheilvenerdi.org but he instructs using odin multi downloader.

I'm unfortunately using this galaxy mini as my day to day phone so I must have SIM\call functionality.

I was very confused and slightly outraged after following a CM 11 \ android v4.4 installation guide to discover that the phone wouldn't boot with SIM card inserted, nothing was mentioned about SIM functionality in the known bugs section of the guide, then installed CM 9, same problem, again nothing written in the known bugs section, it is only by comments written on the last page that I've found people saying that you can't use a SIM card.

The perfect scenario - if possible for me is to have a snappy, optimised rom with a more modern UI\Android(at least UI) while retaining SIM\call functionality.

Thank you
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kevinrdz91:
Hi everyone, I hope this is not ilegal or something... Well the thing is I got scammed on eBay buying and unlocked lg v20 us996, I already opened a dispute in PayPal but in the meantime I'm trying to fix this...

I've read some "solutions" but it's not at all explained so I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing works. My bootloader is locked and I don't have enabled OEM unlock nor USB debugging . So my question is, is there any way to activate these two other than in the phone itself ? (I can't do it the normal way since the RAC message blocks absolutely everything on the phone)

Could someone that has done this before walk me through this? I would extremely appreciate it!!!

Thanks in advance people.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HiddenKnight:
Are you able to disable the RAC APP system side, and then reboot to see if they were lazy and didn't disable the usb debugging as well.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kevinrdz91:
What do you mean by disabling system side bro? If it's something I have to do inside the phone i absolutely can't since this RAC messages blocks the phone and I can't access it because it requests ab4 digit PIN
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HiddenKnight:
System side, by that, I mean to disable the app via Tha applications menu in settings.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kevinrdz91:
No bro I cant do anything on the phone, So i need help to unlock the bootloader from adb or somethig... :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SICKMADE:
I dont know if this trick works on LG but on Samsung when I had a S6 I posted a fix for this somewhere on XDA where you put the RAC fix on a external thimb drive and plug it into your usb port on your phone after factory resetting it and it will popup the file manager and aftwr you install the RAC apk which is just a shortcut to settings you tick OEM unlock in Dev Mode and then root the phone. Again I don't know if it works still but worth a try.
