[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daleobradovic:
Hello guys. I am not quite new here, but I never registered (or I did but I couldn't find with which email or username).

However, I am having some trouble with Samsung S7 phone.

First of all, the IMEI on the About page is not the same as the IMEI on the back of the phone.

When I enter the IMEI from the back of the phone in IMEI checker, I get the right phone (Samsung S7).

When I enter the IMEI from the About page in IMEI checker, I get some old BLU phone.

Second problem is that I think this phone is not duos, however, whichever firmware I try to flash, I see the SIM card manager in the Settings. Which is weird to me.

Third problem is that the phone won't connect to network. I've tried 3 SIM cards (all 3 of those works on other phones), but this one just won't connect.

It shows full strength of signal, it also shows the phone number of the SIM, however, when I try to make a call, it says "Not registered on network".

The phone should not be locked as my brother said that he used it for some time, then he updated it to the latest OS and then did a factory reset. After that, the phone just stopped working.

Does anyone know what could be the issue? Why the IMEIs are different?

I am quite sure that the phone model is SM-G930F, however, the model number in Settings shows SM-G930FD. Which is again weird to me.

I've looked on the Google to see a picture of the SIM card slot of Samsung S7 duos and mine SIM card slot does not like that. Also, on one slot, it says only "microSD" and on another "SIM". So, I guess it is not a duos phone.

Any advices?

Thank you in advance!

All the best,

Dale
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benjamen50:
It sounds like somebody has changed the IMEI of the phone and patched the certificate for the IMEI to work.

Once you reset the phone or update the firmware on it, it will remove the patched certificate allowing the changed IMEI.

You will need to look for someone that does IMEI repair / change to get it working for you again I know there is a guy on the forums here that does them for free. Look through the s7 edge sub forums for them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daleobradovic:
Well, I already flashed the firmware multiple times with different basebands and versions of the firmware as I thought that the firmware is wrong. Also tried to flash the firmware with Phone EFS Clear option checked in Odin.

Everything else on the phone works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] r.kambuyi@yahoo.com:
Sorry that this isnt help but you not alone, I unbricked a Samsung S7 (SM-G930F) after it suddenly just bricked (hard brick/soft brick - same thing). Eventually when I installed nougat on it, and finally wanted to use the phone, i tried a simcard and noticed how it would load all saved contacts but whatever I dailed, it responded "Not registered to network". Checking the model number it is now SM-G930FD but i am unable to verify the imei becuase of missing box. I tried many firmwares (even those that specify its for SM-G930F) but the model number remains SM-G930FD.

could any help plz be posted...

What's up guys? So I'm looking for all your opinions on what is the best camera app that, 1, shoots in RAW, and 2, that had good manual controls for shutter, iso, focus, WB, and EV?

The one I'm using currently is "Proshot" but it seems the RAW pics are not as crisp or good looking as the normal Google camera.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
Manual Camera is a nice app and has RAW output available.

thanks guys i could'nt get it to work so im just stuck with the 2.40..the only problem is my phone going to sleep and me not being able to wake it with the power button. I just turned that setting off so it only dims which is fine :) and Geckotec did you look at my screename? lol...im a she :p..hence the name im 1 bad az chick ;) and i really appreciate you guys trying to help me because i normally search and search without asking for help but i did that and came up with with the unlocker from the first posting but couldnt get it to work and thought maybe i was trying the wrong thing...i'm no expert obviously so i'll just be content that everything else works perfectly minus that one little thing lol
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
What's funny is as I was typing "he" I thought to myself, this might be a she....but then I was too lazy to look back at your screen name.

Always nice to have a chick among the geeks. LOL

What happened when you tried to flash back to the original bootloader (relocker)?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elgreek84:
Wait.. so if I have Olipro 2.4 and want to go back to 2.xx based roms I can run Olipro 1.2 to downgrade? OR: Do i first need to relock, then patch with 1.2, then reflash to 2.xx rom?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] im1badazchick:
its ok Geckotek and yes i'm a chick lol...thanks...i also love to tinker with things...even when i don't know what im doing but you live and you learn;) lol....well when i tried to flash back to th eoriginal(i'm not as advanced as you guys so humor me lol) it didn't work...i downloaded the unlocker ...double clicked it but nothing happened and then i did ALOT of reading and saw a posting saying to make a folder (C:\temptnt) and put the unlocker there but again nothing...am i missing something besides the basic knowledge and im not even blonde(no offense blondes of the world:D) ...after getting frustrated and tired i ran the relocker(did that first and again after i could'nt get the unlocker to work) flashed it back to sprint and then unlocked it again with 2.40 and put my regular custom rom that i has previously back on with the 2.40 being the only thing out of place lol...everything works though...with as i've said before...the exception being the power button ot working to put it into stanby or bring it out of standy so i set it not to go into standby...oh and before i unlocked it with the 2.40 the power button worked :D WOW! i rambled please forgive me lol:p
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bakntyme:
Try running the relocker and then running the old unlocker (the 1.xx, not the 2.40) available in the thread pointed to in Geckotech's first post in this thread; it should work without the need to reflash the ROM. If you get stuck in the bootloader, run the exit-bl.exe.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
Yesterday I got frustrated as well. I ran the re-locker and called VZW and worked out every issue until my phone worked perfectly.

THEN I flashed to the 2.4 bootloader, flashed the unauth'ed Sprint 3.16 Sprint ROM (and since I have Verizon I made sure it did not let it boot up and run the customizations), then I loaded my cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.

All is well and working great now. YEAH!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] im1badazchick:
ok Bakntyme thanks for replying:) so if i run the relocker to lock it back to the factory spl(easy part)....and download the version that Geckotech linked to(still easy)...it puts a lock icon on my desktop....i double click that but get an error message:confused:....is there something that i'm supposed to do that i'm missing?:confused:...should i be using it with something else because the only thing that downloads is the lock icon(exe) and the rom that i had on originally isnt one of the gps roms(i have a tom tom already so i didnt need it but i thought that it was cool so i tried it but i wanted to go back to the other one after the first week)..can you dumb it up for me lol:D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bakntyme:
The unlocker that Geckotek's post pointed to is in a zip file. You need to use an unzipper to extract the .exe file, then you can run it.

If you do not have an unzipper, look for pkZip, Winzip, IZArc, or 7-Zip. There are others, but these names came to mind.

edit: When you originally installed your first custom ROM, how did you unlock the phone? That unlocker, if it is still on your computer, should work again after you relock.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] im1badazchick:
thanks i understood all of that and i really appreciate you guys trying to help but i actually figured out what was going on...i updated my pc with the newest .net version 3.5 and as soon as it finished i double clicked the titan unlocker and it ran perfectly:D...guess my computer needed to be updated...i hadnt done that in awhile since i got the phone as a christmas gift and have been sooooo entranced with it that i neglected my pc:eek: lol... everything went smoothly and it's all working like it should now...power button included;)...hope you guys have a great week...well one more day and its the weekend:p

whoa, you got your power button to start working again? How did you do that exactly? Was it just the .Net 3.5 update? I find it so annoying that my power button doesn't work. I have to have S2U2 come up when i hit the power button just so the phone will wake up when i hit it again.

Looking for suggestions relating to best T-Mobile firmware to use on a Lumina 640 XL (one SIM) in Chicago.

Currently 640XL's are on AT&T firmware and cannot change phone options using Calls+.

Any suggestions?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Is calls+ an app? There is no T-Mobile firmware for the 640 XL. There is a 640 LTE TMO-US fw but if you end up flashing it you will have issue booting your phone.

I have a couple AT&T variants (RM-1063) and what I do is just replace the NVI files and ADC files and update the nvi and modem configuration with thor2. After that all the bands are there along with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling.
[Windows 10 Mobile] pete_c:
Thank you Nate0

Is calls+ an app?

Newest Mobile Windows 10 moved the forwarding of calls and other SIM stuff over to Calls +

Yes here have two Windows 10 Lumina 640 XL's with single SIM slots and RM-1063 on them.

VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling is not present on my phones at this time.

I have not touched / modded my phones in a few years now.

I have read about updating the firmware.

How do I replace the NVI and ADC files?

How do I update the NVI and modem configuration with thor2?

Can I edit the configuration such that it doesn't update from ATT?

Looking at the RM1063 firmware files I see:

Download: RM1063_059X0B9_02179.00000.15204.27033_361.vpl

[Windows 10 Mobile] pete_c:
OK so I enabled band 12 on my AT&T Phones here but still do not see the registration stuff nor options to use VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. My SIM card also shows up as SIM1 and show a communications error when I try to forward the phone. Putting the SIM card in my old unlocked Windows phone I can forward the phone (Windows Mobile 8).

I am guessing you modded / tweaked the AT&T 1063 ROM a bit using the MS dev package stuff.

I am aware that really nobody cares much about the Lumina 640XL these days and that is probably why I got such a good deal on them.

I am though thinking that many folks have purchased these AT&T phones over the last few months.

Hi!

is there any custom revcovery, which has the option to boot (not to install) Android completely from SD card or USB?

I'm aware, that SD or USB would be a pain due to low transfer speed, and also, that you cannot just copy a firmware image files to sd card. ;)

So, search didn't show any helpfull results, except "https://www.xda-developers.com/rom-external-sd-card-guide/" (which seems to work for some devices with dead emmc, only)

Any idea?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jdougal11:
I rooted my phone near the launch of the Pixel 2 so I could get wifi tether to work with my gUDP Verizon plan (device is from Google). I am still on 8.0 and having issues updating to 8.1. I'm having a lot of issues with crashing apps etc so I'm hoping updating will help.

I've tried a few methods unsuccessfully. I tried to do the uninstall with Magisk but it stated that the boot files weren't there. I deleted Magisk per another set of instructions and attempted to sideload and failing there as well.

I can get the phone connected with ADB. The bootloader is unlocked still. After that, I'm at a loss at what to do next. Any assistance would be appreciated its been a few years since I've messed around this stuff and obviously, things have changed and/or I've gotten dumber.

Download the full factory image, the latest.

Unzip it into your platform tools folder.

Find the flash-all.bat file and open it with notepad and edit out the -w and save it. Removing that saves your data apps and settings.

Open a command prompt in your platform tools folder

Connect the phone to the PC

Adb reboot bootloader

flash-all.bat

Reboot, redo your root and wifi tether haxk

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
My H918 is what is currently in the shop (and this would not work on the H910 -- they use a different format), so I can't test this myself. WIth that said, this should be completely safe -- it will either work or it won't

I figured I would look to see what kind of security there was on the OTA update process.

As stated in the title, this is only for the H918 for now since I haven't had a chance to look at other models.

T-Mobile uses the regular SignApk straight out of the AOSP sources to sign their OTA zips.

It also turns out that the LGFOTA.apk will look on the SDcard for the update.zip:

/cache/fota/update.zip
/cache/fota/update_flag
/data/fota/update.zip
/pkg/SoftwareUpdate
/pkg/SoftwareUpdate/
#/storage/external_SD/SoftwareUpdate
/storage/external_SD/SoftwareUpdate/
/storage/sdcard0/SoftwareUpdate
/storage/sdcard0/SoftwareUpdate/
#/storage/sdcard0/SoftwareUpdate/enc
$/storage/sdcard0/SoftwareUpdate/enc/

Those are the paths that it searches -- the one we care about is /storage/external_SD/SoftwareUpdate/

Now when you sign an update.zip, it obviously needs to be verified with a key. The thing is, they include the key in the zip -- otacert -- why?

I don't have my H918 right now, but that isn't stopping me from looking for other attack vectors. This time it is stock recovery.

As near as I can tell, stock recovery uses the otacert in the zip to verify the signature of the zi.p. Which is fine from a VERIFICATION point of view. If the zip is modified in any way, the signature will fail. If the otacert file is not valid, the signature will fail. So, you know you are flashing a good file if the signature passes.

Now, from a security point of view, you don't include the cert that checks the signature WITH the file to be checked. I really think they screwed up here.

I don't have an H918 to test this on till mine gets back, but if someone else wants to, I can talk you through making an update.zip.

I haven't spent anywhere near the time decompiling lg_fota and recovery (the two main binaries that handle OTA) as I have lafd, but like I said, it looks like if there is an otacert in the zip it uses that instead.
