[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] arsalan siddiqui:
Hi,

I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.

I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.

Thank you

WEIRD is knox tripped ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Westen81:
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.

I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] bsharp8:
Here you go. They have pretty good download speeds.

:good: Thanks for that! yeah, the DL rate on that link is *MUCH* better than the first one I found. The other one was downloading at something like 450kbps. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] bsharp8:
No problem. I get all my firmwares from there.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Westen81:
Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)

Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] its_Khal:
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!

Anyone got a fix please?

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Egyptiandroid:
everytime i boot after installing custom rom, it says To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you’ll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account”.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TokyoGuy:
I've been reading posts on this forum for some weeks now and have a question/discussion of sorts I'm hoping relevant users can reason out for me.

A substantial segment of Google Nexus/Pixel users are people who hate bloatware and OEM skins. That's fair enough. What I don't quite understand however, is why some/many of these users seek to root the Google products and install custom mods.

By that standard, what exactly is wrong with using any random OEM phone if the things that are so undesirable can be removed via root anyway? For example if one criticizes Samsung for TouchWiz/Samsung Experience, why not remove it with a custom rom? It's like the real problem is the name Samsung itself.

I'm not opening this line of inquiry to try and insult anyone for reference, rather I'd like to understand the thinking behind (my) confusion. At face value however, it kind of seems like there are people who absolutely must have a Google device because Google "made" it, not because they actually want Google's Android experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] browniegirl:
It's easier to root a pixel/Google device over a Samsung device. If you get the SD variant and root it you lose Sammy pay permanently, not to mention battery is capped at 80%. Most phone companies deny warranty for root, Google doesn't. (Think one plus doesn't either). Another bonus is if one day I'm tired of rooting my 2 xl I can just get the latest Android version. That's not the same with most other phones after a year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] omvir:
Another thing is the custom ROM support. Google actually releases sources that are able to be used by developers to make custom ROMs, where as Samsung doesn't release/release the most up-todate sources. Leaves developers with nothing to work with.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
I can only speak for myself but my routine with every new phone includes these and others I'm forgetting in no particular order...

Root, TWRP, custom kernel, custom Rom, theme, viper, titanium backup, change to default Wi-Fi calling. Lux, others.

Some of the features i desire:

Full strength vibration

Unlock phone with fingerprint after reboot

Kill wakelocks

Center clock

Complete nandroid backups

Backing up apps with data in TBU

Removing camera sound (available stock now)

Advanced reboot menu

Color profiles

I definitely see rooting as a necessity for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Taebom:
Viper4android is a must for me so I root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
ADDS!....ADDS!....ADDS!

Fonts

TiBu

KCAL

V4A

Kernel control

Wake locks

Just because I can

Oh....and ADDS!

That's why I root :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
I use Root for many of the above! It's a XDA addiction!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] brendan802:
Most us phones now come locked tighter than a virgin. The bootloaders use to be unlockable with most carriers unfortunately that is not the case anymore. I will never buy another Samsung phone as long as I live because of the bootloaders being locked. Google phones are easily unlockable as they are geared towards developers and it makes things easier for them having root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
I've been away from Samsung for a few years now. I guess Safe-strap is no more?? Man there was some mad skills on the S5 verizon forum. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Safe-Strap was flippin awesome on the S5! I still have mine as a backup with all kinds of good stuff on that bad boy. Thanks for the memory! :cool::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smartymcfly:
Rooting a google device does not void the warranty.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] luciusfox:
Because I don't want to have to fight with questionable hacks to unlock the bootloader, and I don't want to have to depend on someone else (who probably doesn't know what they're doing) to help out with writing the software that isn't being provided as AOSP needed to make the device fully functional.

I want a no-hacks UNLOCKED device that is PROPERLY supported by AOSP. No 2-bit mickey mouse code that crashes and randomly reboots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] brendan802:
Who the hell wants to pay for a device to have it come loaded with crap you never asked for or wanted??? Not me. Who wants to run these heavily modified launchers with extensive frameworks that slow down your device??? If you pay for something shouldn't you have full control of said item??? The bloatware over the years has become unbearable and the storage usage keeps increasing year by year it's insane that you cannot uninstall Facebook without root on 95% of these devices. I don't care 1 single bit about Facebook and most of the other crapware they attempt to push upon us. Google gives you options for a pure AOSP experience. I am glad I stuck with the pixel I almost passed it up because of poor customer service from Google but this device is everything I want and need. Fastboot is essential to me. I went from the s6 edge with an unlocked bootloader to the S7 edge and that absolutely sucked. The only option was package disabler or using the engineer bootloader to obtain root. It sucked so bad the kernel would chew right through the battery in no time flat I had no choice but to roll back to stock and disable things. I cannot imagine going back to that it was terrible. The thing that burns my bridge is the US variants only came without an unlock method the international variants we're easily unlockable. I will never buy another Samsung phone ever they suck.

What is a good program to run both mp3 and mpeg4 files? I have audio manager but it only plays my mp3's and not mpeg4's is there a patech or update for that? If anyone can let me know of another program that would be great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mackaby007:
There are so many to choose from...

There are a host of decent MPEG4 players for the Pocket PC/Kaiser. The commercial apps really are the best as they include a multitude of extra features.

Try googling for 'Best PPC Audio Player' and compare.

For a freeware player, TCPMP is your best bet as it also plays most video formats, but is an ugly looking player.LoL

Try Pocketmusic Player here:http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bigjatz:
Thats great! Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Laurentius26:
Commercial but the best for me!

http://www.coreplayer.com

Cheers,

Leo ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Software Solutions:
Try this player and let me know the result. if it works with your smart phone good or not .

Take Care

ENJOY
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bigjatz:
Its very good! Shame it doesn't play WMV files! Then it would have been an all in one solution! Anyone know of any plug-ins for this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Software Solutions:
why don't you use a convert to convert WMV file into Other Format and then play ????.

Take Care

ENJOY
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rudegar:
it does play wmv files with some plugin from their site

mine used to play them without any problems
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
I don't think there will be an update to AUDIO manager, to enable it to play video's. :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gibbs:
Thanks for the link. Have you had any issues with audio and video being in sync during playback with the core player?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vpoet:
I've read that setting the offset to -250 fixes this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
The offset helps, For me it varies on the video & can range from 125 - 275.

In my opinion the commercial Coreplayer is best. However, they kinda screw you on a few things that they don't include unless an OEM/ODM includes it as an OEM package.

So for me, it's a combo of Coreplayer & TCPMP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
Surely the clue is in the name! :p

I would like to hear from folks about which alternate chargers they have used that worked well with this phone (and reasonably fast). Thanks.
[Essential Phone Accessories] VennligFiende:
Anker has a USB-C charger with Power Delivery. Works well but it is a tad larger than the one that comes with the phone. I did not compare notice much difference between charge times, if any.

So I decided to void my warranty to give you guys a peak inside this HU. Found a piece of loose strand wire laying on the circuit board, that's never a good thing. It's a miracle the thing didn't short out the mainboard or the MCU. Here are pics for you technical guys to get an idea the chips they use in these these android HUs. Enjoy! :)

Hey,

I managed to root Lenovo K5 Note A7020a48.

Has anyone managed to port/create a custom recovery/ROM for it?

How did you root it ?

Can you provide detailed steps please
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] devianme:
It came with Lollipop but then I updated it to marshmallow. Then I recently downgraded to lollipop to root it.

Root instructions:-

(Everything will be erased from your device)

1)Get the stock ROM from https://androidmtk.com/download-lenovo-stock-rom-models

2) Use the appropriate packages for your device and flash using SP Flash Tool. (Instructions in website)

3)After downgrading, download kingroot on your pc from https://kingroot.net

4)Use kingroot to root your device

Done...
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Ssssss8622:
You are asking for custom ROM/ recovery. Did you manage to unlock it's bootloader??????
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] electricPoster:
On android 6.0, bootloader can be unlocked by activating OEM unlocking from Developer Options .
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Ssssss8622:
No commands!!!!!! are you sure?????please reply if you have tried it yourself. That's awesome bro!!!!
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] electricPoster:
Check this setting (image link provided in code as i cant post image still). it says allow bootloader to be unlocked.

Will it unlock bootloader or not?

https://imgur.com/a/poFkhoZ
[Lenovo K5 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Ssssss8622:
I know you are talking of that setting. That only allows you to unlock the bootloader but does not unlock it. You can unlock the bootloader using fastboot commands only. You can check bootloader status by typing this command in fastboot mode ''fastboot getvar unlocked".Good gracious you did not flash anything!!!! You would have got your phone bricked!!!!

Tip:-you can unlock bootloader of any phone ONLY in FASTBOOT MODE!

Do you see I saved your phone from a brick??? Don't you think you should thank me?:p:p

I had managed to root my lenovo vibe k5 note.

Android 6.0

But it's just a temporary root. Every time i restart my phone i had to do the same step to root it again.

And i had used many applications like

Emoji switcher

Xposed installer

Gravity box,etc and they are working fine.

The steps to root are

1) Download and Install MediaTek Easy Root version 1.0.2 (compulsory)

2) Download and Install Magisk Manager version 7.3.2 (compulsory)

3) Open MediaTek Easy Root and click on ACTIVATE TEMPORARY ROOT & wait until it says success!

4) After that open magisk manager & it will say require additional setup. Click on no thanks.

And there you go ur lenovo vibe k5 note is rooted.

But remember u had to do the same step every time you restart ur phone.

And the last thing is every rooted app will work but Magisk module will not work 🙁

But congratulations 🎉 for the root😊

[Magisk] Kandern97:
Sorry, I'm new to using Magisk, and I want to ask if I can install a zip designed for TWRP/FlashFire through Magisk and expect it to work?

Sorry for the likely blatant stupidity. Thanks.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The Magisk Manager can only flash Magisk modules. Trying to flash anything else will simply fail with the message "this is not a Magisk module".
[Magisk] matrix0027:
Is it possible to flash a zip file in twrp that alters system files such as the pixelexperience. zip which changes bootanimation, ui sounds , etc?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
:confused:

You kind of answered your own question there, didn't you? The answer is: yes.
[Magisk] matrix0027:
I should have been more specific. What I meant was after flashing Magisk in Twrp can we still flash other zip files in twrp that are not Magisk modules or will Magisk no longer work after that? Sorry for being somewhat clueless on this subject. I understand that Magisk is systemless but not sure if flashing a zip from recovery would mess up Magisk or cause a boot issue.
[Magisk] Kireto00:
sure nothing will happen flashing any thing in twrp will be safe but the zip u will flash will touch ur system partition ...... i think so that
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
It all depends on what that zip does... Generally there shouldn't be any issues though.
[Magisk] arnavbatra:
I get what you're trying to ask, you mean that flashing any mods via TWRP will break Magisk or not.

The answer is :No, they work perfectly

But flashing any mods via TWRP will modify your system partition and MAY stop Magisk Hide from working and will affect your ability to receive OTAs

i'm still using my same cable with my same adapter but getting this error,

btw. this happened right after lastest firmware air update!

anyone else having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrDusan:
Maybe it's just the "right" timing. Did you clean the port and the connector?

That warning prompted to me a few weeks ago, but I didn't have any updates then. I just (carefully) cleaned the port and connector. No warnings since that one.

Is the update the only change you did on your phone?

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] travezzzzzzzz:
Hey guys, I got my a7 2017 for over 3 months now, and I'm pretty happy with performance and battery life. But my problem is, that the always on display feature is very reduced. You get 2 types of clocks, 1 calendar, and no option for image or downloading themes. I tried downloading the s8 and apk, but I get an error message that says there's another package with the same name, even with the reboot and very quickly installing it, with no success. Themes in the theme store that include aod's are very limited l, as well as third-party-apps. I know I could do those things without problems with root, but that's not an option for me, since I don't want to lose the warranty. If anyone can help by putting any solutions like the s8 theme store or a link to download themes externally, it would be very much appreciated.
