[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] prasanna0007:
Hi everyone i know there are tons of videos on youtube for installing google pixel camera on Mi A1 without root method.

I dont know how risky of activity is but i dont want to stop security update,also if i uninstall pixel camera apo can i have install again directly or follow method

And what is bricks of mobile?is it useless or does not get recover from service centre?

Waiting for your answer and thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nahuelvvn:
Magisk root is perfectly safe and doesn't break updates. It doesn't touch the system files. There are also magisk modules to enable the camera2 api and some permissions needed for Gcam, also systemless, so you don't mess with system files manually. You can uninstall everything back to stock in a few easy steps when you want to. This way, you will not break warranty, you still get the updates (following another really easy guide to disable root, update and re-enable root) and you may install any Gcam version you want like any other apk file (there are hundreds actually). There is no risk in this method and lots of benefits.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansimko:
Use HOME_CSC not CSC, however, if there would be any issue during the upgrade, the storage would show only 16GB and you would have to do a factory reset anyway. If you are going to try to do the upgrade, I strongly recommend backing up your data.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansimko:
Yes, that's right. Samsung did not update modem firmware or CSC package. Only bootloader and AP (system) were updated.

I flashed Oreo CRB7 final build from Germany and everything is great. But notifications for viber doesnt work as supposed. When i snooze them for only 15 minutes they never appear again and even after 2 hours when i open viber app i have new messages for which i didnt get notification neither sound and stays like that. But when i restart phone everything becomes normal untill i snooze some notification again. I did clean install, clear cash twice and factory reset the phone before Oreo.

Followed the instructions from this site step by step (it was flashing with extracting .lz4 extensions). Help?

But that bootloader doesnt fix it anymore

Flash SEE

Hi,

Please advice me:

My phone runs on G950FXXU1AQK7 (CSC G950FOXM1AQK7)

According to Phone INFO Samsung:

Product code is: SM-G950FZVASEE (South-East Europe)

Active CSC Code: SEE

Available CSC Codes: (Blank)

CSC Country: SEAD/RS

I downloaded new Odin 3.13.1 and this firmware:

G950FXXU1CRB7_G950FOXM1CRAP_DBT

Is it safe do flash my phone with this firmware, and what are possible risks.

(Last year i had some issues with S7 edgle entering bootloop, after flashing from Marshmallow to Nougat)

Could I receive future official OTA updates after this flashing?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dansimko:
To switch CSC you must insert SIM card for the desired region and do factory reset. After first boot, there will be a pop up asking whether you want to switch your CSC, tap yes. The phone will do another factory reset and apply new CSC.

How to update S8+ DUOS and NOT loose settings nor data?

Hello,

I have an S8+ Duos (955FD) with BRI (Taiwan) CSC. I am running a spanish SIM in it. So CSC shows PHE/PHE/BRI. I haven't received updates by OTA vor some time and now I want to flash with ODIN the current Oreo version for the 955F (single SIM) as I understand the duos and the single SIM share same firmware.

When I download the oreo firmware zip file from SAMSMOBILE I find 5 files in there. BL, AP, and CP is quite clear to link inside ODIN. BUT there is a CSC and also HOME_CSC file.

I would like to avoid an factory reset and loosing my settings!

What do I have to flash exactly, to not loose my data and settings?

Can I flash only the AP file, or do I really have to flash all 4 (BL, AP, CP and CSC)?

Thanks for some help

Hey guys

Just received a new Galaxy A3 SM-A320FL as a work phone. The phone is a German (DE) Vodafone device with CSC of VD2. I'm trying to get it on VOD (UK) so I can get VoWIFI etc.

As the CSC is a multi CSC file it's not as simple as flashing the full latest set of files from VOD (via SamFirm) via Odin as it picks up VD2 again.

I've just tried downloading and flashing XEU firmware and that worked fine, CSC changed in Phone Info etc.

When I've reflashed the VOD multi CSC file it's put VD2 back on again?

How do I get to VOD? Any ideas?? My Note8 was far easier than this!!!

Thanks

Its the best 8 inch tablet for me but I would like:

LDAC bluetooth support

Can't bluetooth tether with my phone while other tablets can

Would have liked headphone jack

Would have liked band 2 LTE

Would have liked Volte support USA

Would like Android Pie stat

Would like SmartThings app ability to install on it

Would like to get rid of Huawei Share and have normal share menu

Would like Kirin 970 or 980 in it

Still is the best tablet so I really enjoy it. Just hope the MediaPad M6 8.4" addresses all these issues
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] JonnyJaap:
Love it so far, even though I'm a vanillia OS guy. But the GUI is good for this tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Real Life Review] nigelhealy:
bought two!

I ended up buying both the 10.8 LTE 64GB + official keyboard and the 8.4 LTE 32GB + official case direct from China and they both work fine. I really like the performance, robustness, audio, speed. I don't like the tendency of the keyboard to decide to delete everything and the SwiftKey autocorrect.

I am using the 8.4 as my phone, with BT buds and Wear OS as I am rarely without a bag, watch tells me who's ringing and hear through buds and use the tablet to initiate calls. If I am wanting to go away from tablet briefly without the huge phone then I let calls divert to my LG Watch Urbane 2 LTE + Truphone which only lasts a few hours on LTE but that's fine for dog walking, etc when not with a bag.

Using ATT and T-mobile and work reliably.

Straight from China no problems in English, Android, getting through USA customs, took about 4 days once shipped.

Using a SD 128GB in the 10.8 and a 200GB in the 8.4 to get similar storage.

I must say this idea of phone chipset in a tablet size is liberating, a regular lower cost higher Data phone Sim in a tablet size with large and high screen resolution is a joy, I am still on T Mobile binge-on. The way the networks penalise tablets to make them have an expensive data only Sim is obscene.

I can now travel, say a flight, just with the 8.4 as my only device, not a phone and a tablet for movies flight/hotel, so it works out lighter weight and simpler charging too.

I am not clear how people can use the 8.4 as their only phone, it's a big tablet, unless they have a bag and smart watch + buds to see who's ringing and hear.

I probably prefer the 8.4 over the 10.8 as the keyboard is not perfect, Swiftkey is horrible and the random deletion of all my typing is annoying. I tend to use the 10.8 for bedtime watching media and the 8.4 around and about. The 8.4 cost me $289 which for a big bright screen, lots of ram, big battery, good speakers, takes a T-mobile voice SIM, SD card, is excellent value for money. It is making the >$500 for my Oneplus6 looks somewhat dumb. I don't sense any performance issues, it is very smooth.

8.4 screen is brighter, crisper, more an outdoors type device, but the 10.8 speakers are "wow!" best of anything device I have.

I did buy two as I sensed the Huawei USA tariff spat coming.
