[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Moonraise:
Custom Binary blocked by OEM Lock -> Cant get into Recovery or Download Mode.Bricked?

Hello Everyone,

I recently flashed my Galaxy S8 (G950F) with a custom root binary and after playing around with it a little bit it now refused to boot.

Regardless of what I do I am always greeted with the message "Custom Binary blocked by OEM Lock". No Button combination to my knowledge seems to help

I would have loved to post some links to Gifs or videos of me demonstrating this, but unfortunately I am still new and cant post links.

I consider this one a lost case pretty much as I am really out of ideas. My strategy would have been to flash an official binary again through download mode but since I cant seem to get into that...

Any ideas? I am grateful for any input.

HI all

Strange problem...

I have the latest stock firm ( G930FXXU2ERE8) installed with ODIN 3.13.1 on my S7

No problem...phone up and running

BUT I'm unable to install TWRP !!!

I've read that the TWRP to install is TWRP 3.1.0-0-herolte.img.tar..

Done with Odin 3.13.1...

Everything OK, Passed, no error....

But when reboot the phone in recovery, TWRP doesn't show up, replaced by the default OREO recovery

Are tou guys aware of such a behaviour

thks in advance for any tips
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Try disabling Auto Reboot in ODIN

After the flash, disconnect USB, force power off, then boot immediately into recovery (Do not let the phone boot)

Used to work with the S5 for the same problem

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Gustl6500:
For safety, one more question about Oreo. My S7 is on Oreo. I want now to switch to LineageOS

I must do:

s7 oem unlock + USB Debugging

Download 3.13.1

Download twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img

Download LineageOS + Gapps + (magisk, when i will root)

Start Odin

TWRP to "AP" , no "Auto Reboot" and Start

After that boot manuelly in TWRP

Reboot again in Recovery

Wipe all Data

Install Lineage + Gapps + Magisk

Reboot

All ok?

I have now read a couple of times from a "no encrypt" or something like that.

Do i need something like that?

If so, which file should I download and when do I have to flash it? Many thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
The no encrypt step is a part of the TWRP install, if you go to the TWRP install thread it has the steps including the required zips for encrypt/dm verity

Just a quick question. I've been having a lot of work recently and I felt a bit lazy to update to OB35 and OB36, so now that 5.0.3 has been released, I'm considering switching again to stable releases. Do you think I should? Would it be risky to do a dirty flash (I plan on doing a clean install anyway if 5.1 is ever released)?

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
It would be risky.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] anshulratchet:
Okay so Ive come up a pretty simple way to get really good gaming performance on the Redmi Note 3, while still being able to use all ur other daily apps like social media and stuff, altho idk if anyone has done this before...

So basically i realized that everyone keeps talking about different ROMs and Kernels, which ive tried a lot of, but my main problem always was when i started to install the daily apps that I need like Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, and so on. And ive not seen any game booster or anything which can actually improve ram performance enough to play games after installing all these dozens of apps that I need. In android they say that "free ram is wasted ram", but for gaming context its definitely not true.

So my simple solution was this: To dualboot two different ROMs : One for daily usage and one for gaming, So after trying a lot of stuff, what I've done is ive used DualBoot Patcher to boot ABC ROM Oreo with stock kernel (or radon or agni, but sometimes they cause bootloops on some builds) as my primary ROM, and then installed NitrogenOS Nougat + Radon kernel in gaming mode as my secondary ROM in the /dual partition or /data partition if u dont have enough space (I usually install picogapps to have more free space in /system).

And then I install all my games to NOS and also use link2sd to link the data to my SD Card.

This works really really well for me because whenever i want to game, i can just switch to this rom and it plays all games extremely smooth. PUBG works on the highest settings without any lag at all. So thats basically what you need to do.

I have mentioned these two roms because they work very well for me, but it is possible to use any other ROM of ur choice too. But, an oreo rom cannot be installed in the secondary partition so only install nougat roms, or marshmallow roms :)

I'm providing links to the various things mentioned here:

DualBoot Patcher:

NitrogenOS :

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-nitrogen-os-11-01-2017-t3536211

For Gapps just use Picogapps or microgapps or anything from Opengapps (whatever u like).

P.S. I'm still a noob at this Android stuff and XDA stuff and ive only tried to share something from my own experience... If there is anything wrong or anything i can improve please let me know :3 Also, all the credits for all the softwares go to their respective developers. This is just a simple guide to help other people who may have faced similar issues like me.

If someone is unable to follow this guide and would like a more in depth and step by step guide to doing this, then please let me know and i will make a post with more details about this :)

Happy Gaming :D

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] anshulratchet:
Nono, not NOS Oreo, I used NOS Nougat. NOS Oreo is good as a daily driver for ur primary ROM (or ABC ROM too). For gaming, use NOS Nougat as the secondary ROM.... Nougat roms work well for gaming,

NOS N with Radon is not good for daily usage ? Any problems with using NOS N as the primary ROM ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] anshulratchet:
It definitely is good for daily usage, but if you install a lot of apps then it tends to slow down a bit. So if u want u can use NOS N as a primary rom too, but if you install only gaming apps on the secondary rom, then it will continue to run very fast. My guide was intended for those like me who tend to install dozens of apps ( even a hundred) that will slow down performance for gaming a lot...

Heyyo, hmm odd as I haven't had anyone else mention that.

Can you please state the exact build date in your settings > about phone under "LineageOS version"?

Also, can you please state which build of Gapps you are using and what variant? OpenGapps? MindTheGapps?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] giaur:
First, please make sure that:

- you have latest build

- your gapps are OpenGapps nano (not any bigger package)

- you have stock kernel shipped with Lineage (don't flash any other kernel)

- there are no any other mods, especially Xposed, Magisk or any audio mods

- build.prop is not edited (manually or by any mod/app)

Since nobody reported YouTube problems, it sounds like it's your fault. If nothing helps, try to wipe data, system, cache and flash latest lineage + latest opengapps nano (nothing more) and it must work

Hi, yesterday I tried to unlock my bootloader however it said failed and after that the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried holding power, power and + volume, power and - volume and all buttons at once nothing works. The only sign of life was when it was connected to my PC via USD or plugged in the charger. I've tried a bunch of things including some written on this forum, however errors keep occuring or it won't work at all.

I've installed the MTK drivers and tried to use Flash Tool however it keeps giving me the error "brom cmd send da fail" and the program stops responding after that until I unplug the USB

One post also mentioned a "fix" for the disconnect problem (Device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting) but got another error there saying that the driver has no certificate.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

My phone was the same. Enter device manager and as soon as you plug your phone in you should see it appear under the ports section, then right click and update the driver to the media tek preloader. My phone was unrecognised and kept getting a yellow exclamation mark in the usb controller section, and the only way i got round that was holding the volume up button then connecting the phone, then installed the driver.

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to install AsteroidOS.

I think I'll be asking a incredible obvious question, but for some reason I do not know how I can confirm the "Unlock Bootloader?" dialog. I've booted to fastboot via adb reboot bootloader and used fastboot oem unlock to get the screen to appear on the watch. Now I'm stuck. Touching the "<, o, >" buttons does not do anything, neither does swiping or pressing the physical button.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almighty.grim.reaper:
Hi guys

I hope that one of you had this issue before and might be able to help me out.

To summarise: I am side loading a custom apk onto a Galaxy Tab E which works completely fine until the tablet is rebooted. After every reboot the app simply uninstalls itself - at least partly.

This means, after installing the app again, all the settings and configuration that has been done from within the app previously is still there. (there is no SD card installed in the tablet - internal storage only)

The app is called "mailchimp subscribe". It's old and has last been updated over 2 years ago but does exactly what I need it to do. Installing it from the GooglePlay store works completely fine of course and does not suffer this "uninstall" problem.

The problem I am having with it is that nearly the entire app is in English even though I selected German as the default language. Parts of the App actually appear in German but it seems to me that the guys at mailchimp just gave up on translating it quite quickly.

Since this app is so perfect for my use case however and no third party app really comes close to this, I thought I'm gonna be smart, extract the apk with apktool translate the app into German myself and then simply reassemble and install it.

Surprisingly this all worked on the first try. I now have a re-assembled apk with the exact same mailchimp-subsribe app but completely in German and it is working absolutely perfectly!

I just have this anoying problem now that I mentioned in the beginning which is that the app keeps uninstalling itself - or at least disappears in a strange way after every reboot.

Googling this problem leads to hundreds of threats with people having problems that their SD card doesn't get mounted fast enough or similar things, but my tablet doesn't even have an SD card installed. It's internal storage only!

This app will be the only one running on it (including one other one locking it into Kiosk mode) but the internal storage is more than enough for my purposes.

It would be really great if somebody could point me in the right direction or maybe come up with a solution that doesn't require me to extract and rebuild the original apk.

What I did yesterday is root the tablet because I thought if I install it straight from the play store (which does work without any hiccups) I can then maybe access the system files of the app and simply replace the string.xml (the language file) with my self made German version - but unfortunately the folder that file is stored in doesn't show up.....so I'm kind of out of ideas right now :-/

Hi to all!

I'm an android user from Italy.

Friends have donated me a huawei nova smart (dig-l01).

I have successfully unlocked the boot-loader, but there isn't TWRP for this phone.

Is there any possibility to root it?

Not even Kingroot was successful (I know Kingroot isn't a good way for rooting, but I tried).

I'm not an expert about rooting, but I have some little skills in programming because of my study background: I'm an electronic engineer.

Without root, it's useless for me :(

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze1000:
Not long had this tablet but I have tried 3 ifferent power banks to charge this with no success.

I know there are problems as the Samsung has detection built in which wont allow a lot of other brands to charge it.

I have 3 standard mains Samsung chargers from another tablet and phone plus the original that came with this. Original rated 5v 2amp, other 2 rated 5.3v 2amp. All work fine.

I have an anker 13000mh power bank (2amp output) that charges my s5 phone at 1200mh at super fast speed, it also powered my old tab s 10.5 fast. It will not power this model at all due to the tab detecting it.

Also have 2 beefy jbl charge speakers which can charge anything at 2amps but not this tab at all.

Has anybody found a power bank that works with the T813 ?

Don't care if it has to be Samsung made I just need one that works.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze1000:
Workaround

Well I sort of have a fix.

I tried about 10 USB cables I had lying around, from other devices such as Xbox one, phones, tablets, speakers, power bank etc.

None of these worked in my anker power bank apart from one.

This is a cable about 6 inch long and it came supplied with a free phone 1a power charger from EE / Orange.

So not ideal but at least I can use the power bank with this device albeit a very short cable.

I have tried to find another cable like this but with no luck, so when this one breaks I'm probably screwed using a power bank unless I pay well over the odds for a Samsung made one if I can find one.

I did try and butcher an old USB cable and tried variations of shorting the data pins, with and without a 10ohm resister but no luck there.

If anyone knows what the difference in these cables is or could give me a pointer as to where I may get one (as long as I know what I'm looking for) it would be greatly appreciated.

As it stands the tests I did on the standard charger and original Samsung cable using an amp meter app I was getting between 1000 and 1500 mA

I was getting pretty similar input from a fully charged anker 5v 2A power bank using this certain USB cable.
