[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
I think they have closed it. I tried every possible way described in this and other threads, with multiple new accounts, bind device, don't bind device, several old and new versions of the flash unlock program, etc. No success. In the meantime, my device has to wait until I can install OrangeFox TWRP. I now have "only" 297 hours of waiting left. :rolleyes:

PS: I would advice people to stop trying to bypass this 360 hour thing by trying multiple new accounts. One person on another thread has already been locked out of his device because of doing this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Rutwin:
Is there any way to actually check how much time has left from the 360hr waiting period? Or you just have to calculate it manually?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
Every time you try to unlock it again, it will tell you how many hours you have remaining.

If its your phone you must have set the sim lock, therefore you must know the pin....

Hello there! :o

I finally changed my old Z5 for a brand new XZ1, but as usual my first reflex is to root it.

Thing is, I'm totally lost, I don't understand how to proceed, I just want to root it AND apply DRMFix to keep X-Realty and camera as well (I just got my XZ1 Yesterday)

Anyone can help me or, has a guide according to my setup?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconly:
When I try to open (some) web apps and/or websites, either directly or via links, they (seem to) stop loading. I did think it might be my router/ISP but the same sights open with no problems on my laptop. So I've come to the conclusion that it's some sort of setting on my phone/chrome mobile.

Some of the apps/websites I'm having trouble with are betfair, betfred and this one (xda). In the case of betfair, I've been in contact with their support who confirmed that there's no issues at their end.

Has anyone else had such a problem and managed to fix it? Can anyone advise, please?

And yes, I have tried loading the websites using other browsers but they still don't load.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconly:
I think I've found what's causing it.

I was using a certain app - that can't be mentioned on here (sounds like looky p@cher) - to block ads, which made changes to the hosts file. After unblocking ads (clearing the hosts file) the apps and websites starting to work.

So in summary it was a hosts file issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] WillHouli96:
Rooting Note 8 SM-N950F without wiping data

Is it possible?

And if not possible, how to I restore from backup after the root? Cause I want to keep all my data after the root.

Someone told me that if I restore from backup after the root process, the data will be encrypted, what does that mean? That I will not be able to read or write anything I restored?

Thanks for whomever answers :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kradcliffe:
I thought it was using the easy root method (no TWRP) but when I rebooted it had wiped the entire device.

Not possible by the looks of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Team DevDigitel:
Unfortunately the samfail process is going to replace the system and when flashing the files will require a full wipe to complete it.

This is just the 1st time to get onto rooted cfw. Once there you can use safestrap twrp and make full backups or you can use flashfire.

Otherwise use smartswitch app and backup data to sd then restore that way, the pc smart switch route is broken once rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] WillHouli96:
What if I would backup with Samsung cloud? Or Google drive?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
You have Exynos so SamFail is not for your phone. You would be rooting after installing TWRP. Unfortunately TWRP will require you to remove encryption initially which requires formatting the data partition.

What data did you want to backup? Like app data?

Internal storage won't get wiped but if you don't format to remove encryption after installing TWRP you will no longer be able to access it when trying to boot to system. Internal storage is easy to backup, just copy to dekstop or external storage.

To back up app data without root, I believe these days there are a few options now. Check out Helium. I don't have any experience with it but I hear that's a good one for app data backup without root. After you do root & get settled, Titanium Back Up has always worked great for me.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Ahmad Moemen:
-Limited HW support.

-All FPS games. (No mouse detection in games).

Devs are finally working on it!

-Wine 3.0 and Linux apps support through OpenThos (Reason: to make Phoenix OS a perfect Windows replacement).

Reporting to devs.

-Drives are not shown on any app except for the File Manager.

No solution yet, Stickmount bootloops Phoenix OS (Idk why).

-No tethering & hotspot options. (Any sharing app can't be used)

No solution yet.

-Kodi works but video playback is a little bit laggy. (Codec problem?)

Solution: Disable HW acceleration and HW acceleration (Surface).

-HDMI audio doesn't work. (according to the user DrewYK, tested by me and didn't work too).

-Note for old 64-bit users: Intel Core 2 Duo and older PCs are not supported due to the lack of SSE4.2 (Android 6.0 except Remix OS and later requires SSE4.1 and 4.2), so users must install 32-bit version of Phoenix OS, or see the solution.

Solution: Phoenix OS 2.2.2 for 64-bit PC without SSE4 req. (Chinese site).

Thanks for reading!

Sorry for the bad English BTW.

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
I'm testing the 3.0 beta on my Dell AIO XPS 2720 and all works fine, some app crah but the OS is stable.

It seems the 2.64 version, stable and fast.

But please, please PLEASE add the native support native display resolution for 2560x1440 into the resoluction selector!

Thanks.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Ahmad Moemen:
Thanks, I'll report this to the developers.:good:
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
Thanks.

I think that best choice is to provide up to 4K resolution, because Phoenix is a desktop OS and many people uses 4K display.

A workaround is "wm size hhhhxvvvv" (wm size 2560x1440) using the terminal, but it introduces some issue with font scaling and some program don't reads the real resolution.

Other thing requested from ALL the users is the auto update for Google Services, and i think that is possible to provide a method to download and install the latest "open" version.

Last thing, the patchlevel is very old...

Thanks, U.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
Last thing: the bootloop.

Many users (me too) reports a bootloop. The machine try two, three, ten... twenty times, and finally the GUI starts.

It is needed a boot log to understand what fails during the boot process. Whay the GUI fails to start?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Ahmad Moemen:
Looks like a stable version of Phoenix OS 3.0.1 has been finally released!

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
Yes Ahmad, i saw.

Honestly I'm a bit 'fed up with its developers who do not listen to user requests (not really mine), and as soon as the public version of Chrome OS will enable the support of the Play store I will abandon Phoenix OS ... along with 218 systems Desktop that my clients migrated to Android from Windows 7, choice made to avoid the uograde to Windows 10 (all very satisfied).
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Ahmad Moemen:
Fun fact: I use Remix OS more than Phoenix, because it has better hardware support but unfortunately no sliding in the keymapping.

Jide used to hear the consumers when they were active, they were the first piece of software to remove adware (Fell Lucky, Apps' ads, etc...).

And they tried to improve Remix OS as they could.

But how will you install the public Chrome OS on the PC?

If you can, providing a dualboot tutorial would be great.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
Remix is Android 6.x, good for hobby but not for professional use.

For the keymap you can try an app called "External Keyboard Helper"... my english is bad, so i hope i got it right :)

For me and other people I follow Phoenix runs fine, but the patchlevel is VERY old (2016), high screen resolutions are not supported and it is hard to start without bootlup.

But when it start it is rock! very fast and very stable.

To install Chrome OS on PC exists two distribuction, but the Play Store is NOT supported, so it's absolutely useless.

Please, if you can contact the Phoenix developer, tell to provide high resolution support and the bootlog.

Thanks.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Ahmad Moemen:
Alright, I will try to contact after being a moderator:D (I wish so).

About Remix OS, the big problem is trying to record something crashes the app, and I can't even make a call in any app (probably due to media storage).

About the keymap, External Keyboard Helper is not a keymapper at all, I will try Game Helper on Remix OS.

If you try to switch multiple languages, press Ctrl+Alt(or Win)+Space or Win+Shift.

Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Space (as said) don't work.

Anyways, I'm trying to bring Remix back to the game.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Uncino22:
Why?

If you want to work on an Android Desktop I think is better to fork Phoenix than to resume a dead OS.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] holmesmalone:
Neverware CloudReady. They may or may not update their code to support the Play Store. But if they do, this will become the best option for my ASRock Beebox N3000.

Fork ChromiumOS and add Play Store support. This is where real progress can be made.

So my dad got this new s7 edge for me. i used it for 1 day or so and realised that the android version is till on 6.0.1 . i tried to update the device manually but it says that its up-to-date, but im sure enough that its not. i also tried the smart switch method from Pc , but there is now update option in the smartswitch software as if the device is upto date.

I downloaded a root checker app to see if the device has been rooted or not , but the app shows that there are no signs for rooting. Can someone please help me with this, im tired of trying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
You should be able to download a 7.0 Nougat Firmware for your Exact Model and then flash it via Odin.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
Oh.. but i am a noob and dont know much about all these stuff can u provide me a link which contains thr proper instructions ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
Yes sure. Give me some time to look up the Files you need. What's your Model Nr.?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
Model no. SM-G935T
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935T/TMB/download/G935TUVS4BRC1/215301

If I'm not wrong you have the S7 Edge from USA T-Mobile Carrier. This Link has the latest Android 7.0 Nougat Update (Build 12.04.2018) for the S7 Edge [USA T-Mobile].

Okay, once you downloaded the Firmware, you have to extract it. You should get an .tar or .tar.md5 file then.

Now you need to Download the Flashtool for Samsung Devices called "Odin"

Link: https://odin3.en.lo4d.com/download

This File contains the Latest Odin Tool Version 3.13.1

Send me Message again once both Downloads are finished and you extracted the Firmware so I can tell you the final steps to flash your Device :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
sure!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
Alright , finally done downloading both of them and extracted that firmware file
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
Good. One Question first: is the Firmware a single .tar File? If yes, then start Odin, select AP and select the Extracted Firmware File.

After that (Backup all your Important Data first before proceeding!) you have to put your Phone into the Download Mode, Power it off, wait a few Seconds, and then press and hold Volume Down Button and Home Button and after that press and hold the Power Button. If you get a Blue Screen displaying a Warning, everything is good and you can enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Up Button another Time. Then Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say "Added!" after that simply hit Start to Flash. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
Oh understood , But there are 5 files. And i have a question or 2 to ask , if the usb connection gets interrupted will it do any bad to my phone ? And how much time.will it take to complete ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
Answer 1: If it gets interrupted while flash, it normally shouldn't do any damage. It would be then called a Soft-Brick and you would have to flash it again.

Answer 2: Depends on what File Size the Firmware has. But normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 Minutes.

If I understood right, you have 5 Files.

Do they (kinda) look like this or have such letters in it?

- BL ...

- AP ...

- CP ...

- CSC ...

- USERDATA ...

If yes, then you just have to put the files to the correct Tab. Like BL ... to the BL tab and CSC to the CSC Tab.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Mansuri:
yep thats correct , 4 of them u mentioned are present but instead of USERDATA , there's HOME_CSC_TMB.

If thats not a problem , i must start the process
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatal_Scythe:
A HOME_CSC File is no Problem either.

Good Luck! :)

I had horrible battery drain after applying the April update as well. After clearing cache for Google, Google Play Store and Google Play services (I think this is the primary culprit) my battery life returned to normal. I suspect all Google needs to do is clear cache for all of their services after they update. Seems like a reasonable thing to automate anyway.

The battery drain was apparent for me one day as well. I could watch the battery percentage fall as I used the phone. It took 2 or 3 reboots, but now it's back to normal. However it only happened that one day and it was nearly 2 weeks after the April update. So I'm not sure what the true cause was.
