[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] sshaikh:
I'm considering buying a Mi Max 2 from china. It is a Chinese version, but with the global ROM preinstalled (the retailer explains that the box will have been opened to allow this). My questions then:

1) Would the retailer have had to unlock the phone via http://en.miui.com/unlock/ etc?

2) If so, I read that "fastboot oem lock" would relock it.

3) Does 3) put it back in the state before step 1) above but with the global rom (ie with find mi working, high security back)?

4) Would I need to go back to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ to unlock it again?

5) If the retailer had already unlocked the phone, does that mean the device is registered to their account? How can I get it associated to mine?

6) What does the "OEM unlocking" switch do in Developer options?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
no need to unlock bootloader as long as you stay on official miui stock roms. so u can switch between china stable, china developer, global stable and global developer roms without the need for unlock :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] sshaikh:
That's good to know!

Generally is unlocking irreversible, or does the fastboot command put it back to its initial state?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
u can relock the bootloader. however, since u need permission for unlocking the BL, it might be difficult to get repeated unlcoking permission from xiaomi for the same device. so if u decide to unlock it, just leave it so until u sell it...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] davidec:
Hi, I have a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen (2016) SM-P580 and am attempting to pair it with my Logitech Keyboard K810.

The Tab ia already paired to another device, the Logitech Keyboard has effortlessly paired via Bluetooth with my phone OnePlus 5T

When I attempt to do pair Keyboard and Tab, the latter does give me a code to digit on the keyboard, but it disappears after 5 seconds at most without giving me the time to fully type it in, thus resulting every time in an "unable to pair" message.

Ideally I would like to lengthen the time period of exposure of the code, but any solution is welcome

thanks

Can I use the nexus player as an android "desktop" and attach a keyboard and mouse?

Have this thing sitting around collecting dust. I'd like to root it and do some stuff with it. I was thinking attaching some wireless gamepads and emulating classic games. I wouldnt mind attaching a keyboard and mouse, and then using it as sort of a "chromebox", for things like google docs, MS office for android, and stuff like that.

Anyone try this out? Is it possible?

[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
Was curious if anyone was still looking at 10.1's? I have been kicking them around for a year and some change, I keep getting caught up in the stats. I see they come out with a new O/S but then have the old chipset or vice versa. What I like that I see is 8.0 O/S Octacore with 4gb but can't seem to find a brand to do it all together in a 10.1 but have it in the regular double din. The three brands I had been kicking around is Pumpkin, Joying, and started to think about Phoenix since I talked to them at SEMA but have since dropped the ball on emails about custom options. I started looking at their Telsa screen setup and was hoping to get something where I could input my car into the home screen but they didn't respond to my email.

Anyways, I would really appreciate some input because once I get a few other things on the car finished up I want to start into the stereo system. Thanks in advance, I tried adding to another thread without a response.
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
Slight update, finally found one that says it should have that in the main heading. But when you go into item description it shows the old info, wondering if it is just a copy paste error?

[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
Figured I would bump this again since I am still trying to work all this out. I have now thought about doing 2 10.1 screens in my car, they have now bumped up the ROM to 64 with Android 8.1 but it does not have the fast boot. They say I can do the 32gb version with Android 8.0 but kinda annoys me that it is the same price. I am thinking they will be coming out with new models soon since they are now running a 10% special on their website. I would really appreciate some advice because I keep going back and forth. I did look into the Xtron but really don't like the button setup on it and it is now lacking in stats. Thanks in advance for any input

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confuserix:
Hi!

I just have bought a refurbished S5 and first did an OTA update with the stock ROM, because they have an updated modem.bin in it. After that I flashed TWRP via ODIN 3.12.3 and did backup everything.

From sd-card I flashed LOS succesfully.

When I tried to get in recovery / TWRP-Mode (Vol-up + PWR), it started the Samsung download mode.

So I repeated to flash TWRP via ODIN. Further I installed AddonSU via TWRP.

After that, I selected Restart and Recovery in TRWP. The S5 restartet in TWRP recovery as it should. Then I finished TWRP via Restart and Switch off (I am on German UI and do not know the correct English UI).

Switching the S5 on via PWR, everything seemed to be OK. But I did not try out, wether S5 was rooted or not. Instead I saw a message, that I should install the TWRP-app. I installed the TWRP-app and it seemed to work.

After that, I switched off the S5 again. From that status I tried to get in TWRP-Mode again via Vol-Up + PWR but the S5 started in Samsung download mode.

Please, may anyone tell me, how I can make TWRP and AddonSU persist on my S5 after reboot?

Further question: How / where do I manage, wether an app may have root access and when not?

I can only suggest that you post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to the S5 and begin your question with something like "I'm not sure if this question is specific to TWRP or LineageOS and was hoping for some member guidance as to some kind of a solution and, if none is known, which thread this would belong to?" or something along those lines.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confuserix:
Hi!

Yes, it is unsure, wether it is a problem of LOS or of TRWP. Meanwhile I think, it is a problem of myself:

My friend visited me this afternoon and he was accompanied by his son. He heard of my problem, tried out the entier process with ODIN an TRWP plus AddonSU and tested teh result. Everything works now, as it should.

The only explanation for this "wunderful" result: The movements of the volume button are so tiny, that I did not feel trustfully, wether I have pushed it in either direction or simply pushed it without really pressing it down to one side. This might be an effect of my age (I am 67) and my fingers are not as sensible as in the tewenties. :)

At the end, I am glad now to have a Galaxy S5 with LOS and Root!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] 0-0-0:
Hi,

I just got the S9+ (UK model) yesterday, I've activated the OEM Unlock and it's remained on (it did reset the phone when I rebooted).

I'd ideally like to connect a SD card reader and a portable HDD via a USB hub, to transfer photos from the card reader via the phone to the HDD.

I've done this on my Note 4 (rooted and running a custom stock ROM). The portable HDD is exFat formatted.

But the S9+ isn't currently rooted.

Do I just need to root the phone, so I can adjust any read/write privileges or would I also need to install a custom (stock) ROM too, to be able to transfer files?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
Not really sure why you'd need root. I have a SanDisk SSD that I plug in via USB-C and it just shows up as a drive on the S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] 0-0-0:
Thank you for your help :)

I can get the drive to show up (it's Western Digital Elements), but if I try to copy anything to it, either from the card reader (via the phone) or from the phone itself. I get a "copy failed" type message.

It doesn't make any difference when using the hub, if it's powered or not. In the past I've always used a non powered hub.

*** EDIT ***

I decided to try the inbuilt file manager and I was able to copy and paste photos from the card reader to the portable HDD.

I was using Root Explorer (Pro version) and it always failed to copy across the files. I don't know why.

Problem solved :D

[Android Apps and Games] ZeHelder27:
Hello, Im new here and I'm sorry if not posting this on the right forum or if this is a repost or something here that I'm doing is wrong, but really need help.

So, back in September I bought and Umidigi/Umi Z Pro on GearBest and it's great, I love everything about it, but... As the phone is chinese, it only locks on to chinese/asian GPS satellites.

I live in Europe, most accuratelly in Portugal, and I cant play Pokemon Go or even use my Google Maps properly because the GPS can lock on to my position and it either shows where I am and after a while refreshes and jumps foward or it keeps moving and never targets where I really am.

I read all over the internet that you can change the gps.conf of your phone, but to do that you need to be rooted, wich is not my case, but I considered the possibility of doing a root but then I've read that the Magisk or some app of the kind can't mask the root, so I solve the GPS problem but then I can't play the game.

I wondered if I could do a root, change the gps.conf and then unroot, but I didn't find anything online that would tell me that the gps.conf would stay the same as I edit or that it would change back to what it was.

Can you help me with my questions:

- if I do a root, change the gps.conf and unroot, will keep being the same as I edit?

- is there some app or way to hide the root so I can play?

- is there some other alternative that I haven't thought of or read/find yet?

Thank you

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallTarzan:
Hello, I own a Huawei Mate 7 (MT7-09) and I managed to (soft)brick it. I've tried to update my system through the update.app method by placing the update.app file into the dload folder on the internal storage, and by rebooting to stock recovery.

I've waited for around an hour, and the installation didn't move a bit. Well, I said to myself, let's try another update.app, this one might be broken. To my surprise, I was not able to boot to system anymore. The update procedure deleted all files from the internal storage. When I tried to boot into recovery, I got an error (I don't have the device with me right now, but it was something like: FUNC_BOOT_RECOVERY)

Okay, so I've tried booting into fastboot, that worked well. Then, I searched up some guides for unbricking this device, and I followed them accordingly.

Steps I used:

1. Flash all .img files from the original ROM from Huawei.

2. Create a folder on the SDCard and place a new update.app and reboot to recovery

To my surprise, nothing has changed.

Oh, also, there was this message in red on the top of the screen: It said: Please, reflash system.

It says Phone Unlocked at the bottom.

I've visited the service and the guy there said something like "it doesn't have a flash", which I didn't really understand. The only thing that came to my mind was "a missing kernel"? Who knows.

I'm not a pro, or a total newbie in Android development. I can do a lot by myself.

With that said, does anyone have any ideas on how to unbrick this device?

So since apparently no one rooted their p20 yet and I heard it wasn't possible since no boot dumped yet.

I'll provide this https://mega.nz/#!jlBFWSwR!wzozF9Zi189upCm6mCVjTDEUcG9SpDHbNOPewKJ7so8

Magisk patched boot. (oh yeah you read right!)

All you need to do is obtain your bootloader unlock code.

If you somehow fail getting the bootloader code or getting wrong code. I can write up a thread for how we did it.

Unlock the bootloader and flash ramdisk with

Fastboot flash ramdisk CLT-L29-MAGISK.img

They reboot. Simple right?

This has been tested on a demo unit (C652) and works well!

We even dumped oeminfo! ;)

Enjoy.

I suspected a little.

However, just before I had the P20, I had an Oneplus 5T under oreo and it was still a partition recovery as usual. I rooted the Oneplus 5T by flashing the recovery quite normally: "Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then under twrp, flashing magisk.zip. No use of a recovery_ramdisk
