Hello xdadevelopers community! ;);)

I am trying to unlock my phone, was searching and trying a lot of things to do unlock my phone but failed.

What I did already.

I found application called GalaxySim Unlock but I need to pay 4$ for it by credit card.. dont have :|

I read somewhere that for user xdadevelopers this application is free but couldnt find how to get it.. I think it might be not free cuz last post were from 2013..

I rooted my phone, but can't find any solution to unlock simlock for free. Can someone help? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
Have you tried going direct to the carrier it's locked to?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiktorl4z:
Where?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
The carrier the device is locked to. For me I'd have to get in touch with O2 to unlock my device for example.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiktorl4z:
But I have only sim lock, my device is not locked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
Oh ok so you have locked your sim with a pin? I'm trying to understand what has actually happened! Lol

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Wait let me think.... sim lock is carrier related in that your device only allows certain sims. Therefore your device is locked down to a carrier, unless I've completely misunderstood!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiktorl4z:
Its working for only one company sim cards. So yeah if I dont have this sim card from this company it wont work.. There is way to pay like o 4-5$ to unlock it. But wanted to ask if there is any free solution.

Otherwise I will have to pay ;(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy_story:
Hello, look here Galaxy_S Unlock

Need: Root + Busybox
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiktorl4z:
Yeah I have seen this application, and the payment is needed. Like 4$. But I can't pay buy credit card. So I already paid on another service 6$.

And everything is working fine ;) Thank you once again :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy_story:
I'm glad that you are doing well, good luck to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceepyon:
You would have to contact the carrier, who's brand is on your device for the cell network unlock code.

When I connect my jbl extreme, the volume level is set to half on Android, and same at the max level, it sounds very low. The same speaker sound greats at my friend Moto X ( android 6.0 ). Any sugestions or fixes to this? I am very disapointed to this. Cut the power of speaker to half. Only on Android 7 phones.
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] krrrrrish:
you can use poweramp app otherwise use viper for android it can increase the sound quality and volume

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
UPDATE: I was able to install stock recovery through BOOTLOADER (it started working again) and I tried sideload 4.1.7.zip that way. It seemed to work for a while, but unfortunately, sideloading crashed. Same for 4.1.6, update fails around 45%. Phone says INSTALLATION FAILED. Any thoughts?!

Hi guys,

I'm a longtime flasher of phones, but my wife today jacked up her 3T beyond the point that I know what to do. In short:

Her phone was rooted, had an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. She updated (despite my endless begging never to do that) the OTA, which crashed her phone. Duh. Not smart. The problem: the phone would not restart the OS anymore. Upon restarting, the phone immediately jumped to TWRP and hung at the splash screen (which takes a while to load, but she doesn't know that). She panicked, rebooted the phone a bunch of times before giving it to me.

I was able to get into TWRP eventually, and figured I'd manually install the newest 3T firmware. This is what I did:

First, I updated TWRP through TWRP, to the most recent version. This was successful. Then, this happened:

Downloaded 4.1.7 from the OnePlus website

Placed it on the phone's internal storage

Went into TWRP, wiped Dalvik, Cache, System etc. (leaving Internal Storage in tact)

Flashed the firmware

I've done this thousands of times, never fails. Except now.

After flashing (which was supposedly successful, as I did not receive error messages), I hit 'reboot' and TWRP told me 'NO OS INSTALLED - WANT TO REBOOT ANYWAY?'

That is bad, right? So, I did not reboot, stayed in TWRP and ended up trying to wipe internal storage, thinking I could then add the .zip with the firmware again later and try flashing again. Just a clean phone, you know? I was wrong. I cannot copy anything to the phone right now, so I can't flash anything (because I can't put anything on the phone).

I'm trying to sideload things now through TWRP (adb sideload) and regular fastboot (either the firmware 4.1.7 or 4.1.6 - I've even tried flashing the stock recovery through fastboot to try and get the stock back, so I can sideload the firmware through there), but nothing works.

If anyone knows what to do, or can give me an outline on what to try, I'd be very helpful. The situation right now:

3T, without OS or ANYTHING on the phone

With functioning TWRP

Only recognized in the command prompt when in TWRP, not when in BOOTLOADER

Phone does not allow things to be copied to the phone via my laptop.

On behalf of my extremely upset wife, I thank you!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Siddk007:
[MENTION=4539574]Donaghy[/MENTION]

copy the downloaded 4.1.7 to a usb pendrive.

connect it to the phone using otg cable.

wipe Dalvik, Cache, System in TWRP.

select install, storage (pendrive), click on the OOS 4.1.7 zip file.

After the flashing is completed, reboot to recovery (not system).

Phone will boot again to TWRP.

Wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. (ignore NO OS INSTALLED - WANT TO REBOOT ANYWAY?)

If you see the rotating red dot, then all's ok. leave it for 5-10 mins to boot.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, as per my update (in green, above the post) I have returned the phone to stock recovery. I have tried sideloading 4.1.7 and 4.1.6, but both installations (via adb sideload, via stock recovery) crash around 46%. Phone says installation failed.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Siddk007:
Try connecting ur phone to a different usb port and then sideload.

If stills fails, get back from stock to twrp recovery and follow the steps i mentioned.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
Thanks, I will. I did just realize my bootloader is still unlocked, so this may be causing the crashing of the sideloading of the official firmware (who knows). I am now going to try to lock the bootloader again, ADB sideload the firmware, and then unlock the bootloader again.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Siddk007:
Check this, if in stock recovery there is option to install from USB? It it does, then update using otg pendrive
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
I don't own an OTG cable. The only USB option there is, is within the ADB menu in the recovery.

EDIT: locking the bootloader seemed to have made things worse, as I now cannot get the .zip files with the firmware on it to be accepted by ADB/the phone... God, this is a gigantic mess..
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] C3C076:
I remember there was some adb version (don't remember which one exactly) that had sideloading of large files broken. Try using the newest version from Android SDK.

Edit: just realized you locked your bootloader. Not a good step at all.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
Yeah, some douche somewhere else on the internet said it should be locked. In someone else's thread... I'm trying to unlock it now again through fastboot.

UPDATE: alright, bootloader is unlocked again. I think I have the most recent minimal ABD and fastboot, but I'll check to be sure.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Siddk007:
Btw, which stock recovery are you using?

It should be of the version 4.1.7 you are going to sideload
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
Whichever is the most recent one that is on the OnePlus website. I downloaded the .img off of their website.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
I've had a similar issue, and I tried a billion times on trying to reflash Stock OOS 4.1.0, and sadly nothing happened. I then tried LineageOS by SultanXDA, nada.

So then, I said "Scr*w my data, I'm going to start anew", and I tried the Unbrick Tool, and Voila, new phone with OOS 3.5.X. Not the latest, but it's working.

I suggest you try that mate, you can find it over here.

Cheers!

P.S. - Love your profile pic.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] 23Six:
If you sucessfully flashed 4.1.7 then I'd just reboot into system. TWRP sometimes says "No OS installed" if /system was wiped prior to flashing.

Regardless, I recommend you do these things now (if you havent already) and report back:

-Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)

-Flash TWRP* recovery, not stock. (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)

-Boot recovery (fastboot boot twrp.img)

-Wipe data + system + cache + dalvik from TWRP

-ADB sideload in advanced section of TWRP

-from your PC: "adb sideload oos417.zip"

-from TWRP: reboot into system (ignore "No OS installed")

If you follow this and its succesful, everything will be fixed

* flash the twrp by xda member eng.stk, not the official one: the only place I can find his TWRP is in the 3/3t toolkit zip. So extract the v5 zip and use the "TWRP_recovery.img": https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B1cephDrsyt_ZzJ1cXpUUlVhSzg

Edit: Instead of doing all this manually, you may want to use the toolkit. See if your device is recognised
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
Thanks for the help, everybody!

I used the unbrick tool, which worked! I got the phone 'alive' again.

New problem: Right after successfully booting the phone again, I set up the phone (so: clean install, no root, stock recovery, straight out of the box, you know what I mean) and then proceeded to download the OTA that OnePlus pushed to the phone (4.1.7). It downloaded quickly, but the installation has been stuck for almost an hour.

The phone says 'Updating, please wait - do not turn off your phone', and the blue bar is filling. Well, not filling, as it has been stuck at about 10% for an hour.

Is this normal? If not, what can I do? Thanks again!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Donaghy:
I turned the phone off and was able to successfully sideload 4.1.7 via ADB. Upon updating, the phone gave me a notification (blue and white letters) that the "DECRYPTION IS UNSUCCESSFUL. The password you entered is correct, but you have to perform a factory reset to use your phone".

So I did another factory reset in recovery, rebooted, and it's up and running, with 4.1.7 on it! I can't believe we got it back from the dead. Thanks everyone, for your help! Really appreciate it!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Neverendingxsin:
Is anyone else having this issue? On my home wifi I can barely get anything to load as fast as it should and apps don't download quickly at all. I noticed it when I clean flashed Oreo and was downloading all my apps and it dragged, 2.4ghz was a bit better but I'd much rather use 5ghz.

I've checked my other devices (MacBook, Nintendo switch, and even my 6P) and they all perform just fine, it's only my pixel XL that's having the issue.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] グリッチ:
It's well known especially on Oreo, (for some reason) the fix as mentioned by several people, is to turn on bluetooth.

No worry.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Ok here is a little cab that I've built that will allow you to change what program is launched on a long press on the wired headset.

I've been able to make this thanks to busterleguster.

After installation your button will launch windows media player but you will now be able to choose !

To change this go in your favorite registry editing program and

change the "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand and enter the location of the program you want.

I've been looking for such a tweak a long time, I guess a few other people too. Enjoy
[HTC Vox] busterleguster:
Ahh, much better! Nice and clean :cool:
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
why so much unnecessary efforts and headache when you have AE Button Plus 2.6, ha!
[HTC Vox] busterleguster:
AEBplus 2.6, tried that, didn't register the button when pressed. Which setting did you use, oh clever one :rolleyes:?
[HTC Vox] SypherNL:
Would it be possible to use that button to go to the next track or toggle play/pause of Windows Media player?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
because Aebutton is not free ? ;)

SypherNL : sure if a shortcut exists it should be possible. I don't know one though but I have never searched for this.
[HTC Vox] Dmartino:
Good idea SypherNL! It would be really nice to be able to go to the next track with just a click on the headset button. Preferably not with WMP because it shortens the battery life to much.

Can anyone create such a shortcut?

Thanks,

Daniel
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Well, you can do that on your own, if you knew the shortcut for the next button (and it's highly unlikely that there is one). Just change the registry key to that shortcut!
[HTC Vox] ridr:
Great!

Thanks! This is great! My bluetrek st1 headphones broke this week and I had to start using the wired headphones again. The wire is annoying and there's no A2DP controls, but at least I can control my phone with this button tweak and msvc now.

PS I tried AEBplus and I couldn't get it to work. This was much quicker, easier, free and it works! Thanks again! :)
[HTC Vox] rghai6:
Tried creating a shorcut for going to next track in Audio Manager:

27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "next"

27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "%next%"

27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe ,"next"

27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Next"

27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Forward"

etc.

No Use. Any suggestions ?
[HTC Vox] tof42:
HI Dr. Martin Gonzo and thanks for your .cab.

I've tryed it on 1.37 FR/orange rom and it works very well.

I've changed "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand to voicecommand.exe (witch doesn't exists before install your utility) and now i can control my diamond with voicecommand using headset button.

I have to say that this solution works with the rc e100 wired while holding the hang off button.

You should send your work to rom cooker as aztor or another to include it in their rom to assign headset button action.
[HTC Vox] spider1750:
Hello, I tried the program on my new Omnia, but it doesn't work. It allways open the telephone and it is no function when I press the button long. Does it not work on Omnia, or do I something wrong?

This works on my HD too! i was looking for this functionality for ages! this thread should be exposed more! as the whole world is searching for a solution! I'm going to create a link to this thread in the main forum!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ex3meex:
Hi guys!! :D i'm here to know if it possible to increase recording time in super slow motion with some trick/mod apk

If not, it will be possible in future or it's too dangerous for the phone?

It's difficult to create this trick with, for example, an apk camera modified?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Shako1993:
I'm interested to :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Xifar:
I don't think it would be possible.

As far as I know, the current limitation is not heat or software but space.

The XZp has dedicated RAM for the camera that allows it to buffer the 960fps. the UFS storage is simply not fast enough to write all the frames being captured as they are being captured. That's why you have to wait a bit after each 960fps burst.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CKkio23:
Maybe a mod instead of UFS using OTG with a fast portable ssd or something like that? Wouldn't that be a better solution if possible? I do not know the limitations of OTG, UFS, RAM. But our XZP Does support OTG and how big is the dedicated ram and speed of it? Or would my idea not work at all? The Samsung T1 SSD looks like it can do the job imo.

i know RAM is always the best. But i just want to throw ideas never know who will figure this out.

Someone will figure out how to do this soon or later lol. Cannot wait for that day.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
No, nobody will figure out. Nobody, ever.

Just for your understand, the internal memory of the XZP has roughly ~500 MB/sec, the internal burst RAM of the camera module 15.000 MB/sec, OTG memory can get up to 350 MB/sec.

So no. Nobody will ever ever ever figure out. It's a physical issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CKkio23:
Ohh ok well rip. Just an thought tho because OTG you can get portable ssd i was thinking it would work. Never thought the internal RAM was that quick neither that OTG was that slow. i just learned of OTG is why i was throwing it out there. Thanks.

Hope in the future Sony can at least give us 30 sec videos would be awesome.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
Everything's possible
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
I would be happy if Sony would give 1080p 120fps and 240fps.

But I think it will take few generations to get 960fps more than 1sec.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] numero13:
for XZ Premium and other that have this same sensor i think its not possible because a hardware limitation but in future it may be possible if the total RAM of the sensor increases.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] mauxxrtg:
XZ Premium in 2023, sure champion

Regarding your question, it depends on how the data transport method works.

Let's imagine a scenario. The camera stores everything in the external memory (SD?).

We have 2 possible answers:

No: When the camera buffer moves everything to the internal storage and then to the external storage (Buffer > internal > Micro SD).

Possibly yes: When the camera buffer moves everything directly to the SD memory (Buffer > Micro SD).

A lot of flawed information

1. The XZP has a UFS 2.1 memory which has a R/W speed of 860/255 MB/s. (far from that W 500 MB/s).

2. The LPDDR4x ram of the device goes at 4,266 Mbps. Far from those 15,000 MB/S (Mbps?).

3. The USB C port on the device is 3.1 gen 1, which goes to 5,000 Mbps (if it were usb 3.1 gen 2 this number doubles, but let's keep the numbers low so as not to raise hopes).

This means that the usb OTG port easily reaches the speeds of the ram (even theoretically exceeds it). Of course, you would need a 3.1 usb enclosure along with an externally powered 3.1 ssd (a dock maybe).

If the native camera app could save directly to external storage (Via OTG) and use the second method (Buffer > OTG), or even send everything to otg 3.1 without using buffer. I could maybe have a 1 hour video at 960fps (as long as the phone doesn't melt / use a cooler and the storage is appropriate / Max 2tb ssd nvme. And of course, it remains to be seen if android 9 has support for nvme devices).

Not to mention it would need external power.

In short, theoretically it is possible, but I would need to invest in a cooler, a ssd nvme usb 3.1 and an otg adapter that supplies enough power for both devices to work properly (keep the ssd alive and prevent the XZP from dying by drainage).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Nitej:
You completely mixed up your units of data transfer.

MB/s and Mb/s are two different units.

MB/s is short for Megabytes per second

Mb/s is short for Megabits per second

According to samsung's semiconductor website ufs 2.1 has 6Gbps speed it translates to around 750 MB/s

LPDDR4X ram has a 64 bit bus and has speed of upto 2133MHz. since 1 byte is 8 bits that means 64 bits is 8 bytes. Using these numbers we can calculate that LPDDR4X has a speed of about (2133 * 8) = 17064 MB/s

USB 3.1 has a transfer speed of upto 5Gb/s. That is 5000 Mb/s = 5000/8 = 625 MB/s

from these calculations

1. UFS 2.1 = 750 MB/s

2. LPDDR4X = 17064 MB/s

3. USB 3.1 = 625 MB/s

So the OTG port is much slower than the internal storage and around 28 times slower than LPDDR4X

Also as far as I know the reason 960 fps video isn't possible for more than a second is not dependent on the ram but the internal buffer of the camera sensor is too small.

So for existing phones, no we cannot get more than a second of 960 fps video.

But if a camera sensor with a much higher buffer memory is released by a company (which I don't think will happen, because it would be ridiculously expensive) we are stuck with 1 second of 960 fps video.

Hey guys. I recently updated my phone, and to my surprise, Facebook was installed. I remember uninstalling it before applying the update. When I go into settings and check the version, it says "version stub". What does that mean? Also, "Uninstall" is no longer an option. Now, I can only "disable/enable" or "force stop" it. Has anyone else seen this?

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Wulfie217:
Only thing I could find was someone on Reddit asking about the same thing.

It's most likely a carrier push (probably Samsung including it in the update and carrier leaving it in, like when they include other bloatware when they make the OS).

You should be able to get rid of it with Root, if you don't use FB, it's probably going to make more sense to just delete any shortcuts and not touch it than to root though.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] DamienMc:
Yeah theyre system apps.

you can delete or freeze it if your rooted, not sure about a unrooted method tho.

There are actually 3 apks for FB for some reason
