[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] holz75:
I didn't have to flash anything. I got my unlocked HTC 10 direct from HTC and inserted my previous AT&T SIM card from my M9. Everything worked including VoLTE.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Exactly only the Sprint Variant for the HTC11 was different. I just switched to T-Mobile and only had to flash the Unlocked firmware and insert new SIM. I have VoLTE and WiFi calling. Im pretty sure the same will be for the U12+. Except it will already be US Unlocked, new SIM and it will be ready to go.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] OMJ:
the HTC 10 had a Verizon specific ROM, the U11 & U12+ do not. The U12+ only has a Unlocked model with only 1 ROM (x.xx.617.x), wifi calling wont work on Verizon. Like others stated, it doesn't matter which button you click on when ordering, you get the Unlocked model. They only do that so people know their carrier is supported.

So far, I like the 12+. It's a a shame that you will not be around.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] christiebunny:
This was what the U11 said, I (and many many others) could /never/ get it to work on verizon, no band 2/4, just 13. WILL the u12+ unlocked, work properly on verizon and be fully functional including all three bands, 2/4/13?

I hope so, it's the ideal phone-- as long as it works, and is of course rootable :(

(the bands are the most important, I can deal with, say, wi-fi calling not working-- though I hope it is)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] phhusson:
Hi all,

I had my S9+ unlocked, but then I flashed stock back (just boot/system/vendor, probably not the same version as the rest), and since then, I can no longer OEM unlock.

I can select the option, and initiate the unlock, this will even actually factory reset the device.

But then, if I go to bootloader, it says FRP unlocked, OEM locked.

I've tried flashing a full firmware, but the result remains the system.

FWIW, I flash usng heimdall not Odin. I'll probably try with Odin, but I expect to get the same result.

I think I've found in the logs the reason for that behaviour:

I have ro.frp.pst = /dev/block/dummy

While it should be /dev/block/persist

I've checked in all partition in the firmware I've flashed if there was any reason some part of the firmware set this to dummy, and I didn't find anything.

I couldn't even find any reference to /dev/block/dummy at all!

So, does someone have some clue about my issue?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] phhusson:
Ok, so some updates from my part, I've found the culprit of ro.frp.pst = /dev/block/dummy

That's [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION]'s OEM lock protection patch:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75893923&postcount=3

Part of the patch is to set ro.frp.pst=/dev/block/dummy

I guess that the stock ROM I flashed somehow reseted FRP anyway.

If I had an EFS backup, the fix would be easy, but guess what... I don't...

So now I'm currently looking for ways to backup EFS, without root obviously. (or a way to root with closed bootloader)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
This just happened to me too. My factory.prop change came from a rmm bypass zip floating around that everyone was using to stop going to custom rom jail. The big difference here is I didn't try to (or want to) relock my bootloader, instead some GSI rom I was trying out did it for me without even a prompt, I don't know when. I just eventually rebooted and suddenly couldn't boot. My only guess on that front is I did once I think accidentally disable the developer settings area, which the rom may have decided it was a good idea to turn everything off in there.

Anyway, did you figure this out? I have multiple efs backups, but I can't find a way to actually restore one without root. Even the z3x can't do it without root and it doesn't have temp root shell ability for the 9650. On the s8 you could always flash efs via odin using a efs.img.ext4 file in a normal tar, but I made one like I've done on the s8 and I get secure check fail in download mode.

My only last recourse is to try and completely erase efs, imei and all and then hope that you can still toggle oem unlock without an imei. If so then I should be set as I can just root and restore my backup. But if not, I'm now even more boned.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] NoirX:
Similar issue

Hello to everyone! :laugh:

I think that I have a similar issue with my Galaxy S9

I recently installed an android 9.0 GSI image.

After disabling developer options in settings and rebooting the phone it never completed the boot process.

It was showing "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" error.

I successfully restored stock firmware through odin, but the phone is OEM and FRP locked.

I tried many times to toggle on OEM unlock through developer settings with no result, even though the phone goes through a factory reset.

Do you guys find out if there is any possible way at this stage to OEM unlock this device ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Did you ever fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
I managed to fix this. It resulted in another 7d jail session but I did manage to figure out a way to fool the device into resetting efs, and in a way that did not erase the important stuff (I think thanks to backup, but maybe not).

If you find yourself stuck like this, let me know and I'll help
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Hey! Thanks!

Could you tell me how you wiped EFS with a locked bootloader? I'm planning on flashing combo firmware to test some modem settings which are locked even with root on stock and I want to be able to go back to stock just in case and not wait 7 days.

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
Wiping efs will not erase the RMM lock. The only thing it fixed was the very specific issue where your bootloader is relocked by non-samsung rom which doesn't look at the frp partition and when you try to unlock again from a Samsung rom, it does try to look at the frp partition which it can't find because the RMM bypass zip sets ro.frp.pst to /dev/block/dummy in /efs/factory.prop. when this happens you're basically screwed because you can't unlock without that prop being set right, and nothing erases that prop file and without root your can't even see it much less change it.

Luckily I found a nice loophole that let me overwrite the entire efs filesystem thus erasing the prop (but not the special data at the end fortunately) and allowing me to unlock again, but the act of doing this resulted in another 7d RMM jail which was annoying but given I was perm locked before it seemed like an ok trade ?.

What settings are you trying to adjust? I'm not aware of anything that combo has open that you can't get to with rooted stock provided you twiddle all the knobs in efs correctly. Did you set factory ON & keystr OFF an HiddenMenu ON?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Hey, I'm trying to adjust LTE Cat Control settings and LTE Carrier Aggregation settings. These seetings are all available through the RIL Service Mode Main Activity, however Main Activity has been completely gimped and disabled in stock. Not only is it impossible to launch, I'm pretty sure at this point the package is just empty since it just force closes upon launch.

I said **** it and flashed combo firmware yesterday, and just like I thought, the menu was there and you don't even need root to access it. You just need to dial the code in the IME dialer. On stock, the only way to get to this menu was either by launching the activity (doesn't work anymore), using a su shell and broadcasting the code (also doesn't work anymore) or just broadcasting the code without su (never worked).

Luckily Samsung doesn't relock bootloader anymore by flashing stock so RMM Prenormal won't be an issue for me.

Also to cllarify, this is the main service menu that contains every other LTE service menu.

Also what do you mean by factory ON and those other things?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
Exactly as I suspected ?

You don't need combo to get into ril service menu, you just need the settings I spoke of set correctly. I know this first hand as I got into mine this way, no combo necessary.

To turn all the hidden stuff on, you need a combination of the following 3 flags set as given below, and to be on a csc that does not block secret codes/service menus

The flags are all files in efs that need specific values in them. For ease of use I just wrote them all as commands you can copy/paste into a terminal with root or in TWRP recovery after mounting /efs

OBLIGATORY WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! modifying efs can be dangerous in that if you mess it up badly you can lose your imei and render your phone radioless. To anyone else reading this, don't do this unless you know what you are doing with it and why.

/efs/FactoryApp/factorymode ON

echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

/efs/FactoryApp/keystr OFF

echo -n OFF > /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu ON

mkdir -p /efs/carrier; echo -n ON > /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu

*NOTE: this one is slightly different because at least on one of my devices the carrier directory did not exist at first as there are no other files in it, so this command is modified to create it if it's not there already.

Run those 3 commands after running su if you do this from adb or a term emulator while booted, or as I said you can do it from TWRP just be sure /efs is mounted first as it's not by default. Then reboot and you should be able to either use shortcut master to get to RIL servicemode (and a few more other goodies too), or you can always just open up either DRParser app or stock Samsung phone and enter *#27663368378# and it should pop right up.

If for some reason it doesn't let me know, there are more things to try including changing CSC, and there is a global hidden menu prop that wasn't necessary for me as the 9650s don't have the actual HiddenMenu app installed at all, but the above was all I had to do to get things working

As for the CSC thing idk if any of the cscs in whatever region you were running do this, or if even any cscs in the 9650 do it at all even but on Samsung "XXXXU" devices sold in the USA certain carriers block all hidden menu type access no matter what, so if this doesn't work take a backup and change your CSC and see if that fixes it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't relock bootloader anymore", but if you reflash stock vendor without flashing the RMM bypass your bootloader will be relocked and you will be unable to unlock it again for 7 days. This is precisely what I was talking about
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Hey, unfortunately it didn't work for me ;(

I tried it with TMB USA CSC and also on XEU CSC.

Maybe I also need to change that hiddenmenu prop? My phone actually has the hiddenmenu app.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Hey! Nevermind that last comment.

I had to change my CSC from TMB to XAA which is USA unlocked, and I also added the hiddenmenu prop, and it's finally ****ing working now! Dialing the code in dialer brings up the menu.

Thanks so much for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Sorry for spam lol but I was wondering if you had any knowledge on how I can enable more carrier aggregation combos.

Currently my phone is not listing 4+12 as a supported combo even though I know 100% the modem supports that. My Exynos S7 and S8 had that combo out of the box.

I've got service menu but I just need to enable that combo to fix my ****ty LTE.

Thanks for a your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
Sorry, unfortunately this isn't an area I've had much experience with in terms of how it works and stuff. I can get to the service mode menu and everything I can find in there that I am at least aware of being related to CA (having "CA" in the menu items) looks to be enabled. It's possible this setting could be in the CSC data which is frustratingly encrypted on s9/+ firmwares, although there is a way to decrypt/reencrypt them but I haven't actually tried it and looked for myself
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Hey, so I found out how the CSC blocks the service menu, it uses the file in /system/omc/XXX/etc/XXX_keystrings.dat and in /system/etc/XXX_keystrings.dat.

Someone made a script to decrypt this file and edit it: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/keystrings-decrypter

However, my phone does not accept the decrypted file. It will only read the encrypted file.

I have no useful knowledge regarding scripts, would you have any idea how to encrypt the file again using a script similar to that one? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] haojixu:
Hello, I was having the same issue that ro.frp.pst was set to /dev/block/dummy and my phone was permanently locked.

It just said "PersistentDataBlockService: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /dev/block/dummy (Permission denied)" -- I flashed 3rd party files and went back to stock and this happened.

Could you elaborate about the nice loophole that could let me overwrite the efs filesystem and erase the prop?

Thank you!

[Mi 3 Android Development] JulianJenner:
I do not understand clearly. Do you have now a working custom ROM? Or now you are on brick/bootloop?

If you have working system:

If ADB -like minimal ADB and fastboot- (and all windowsdriver) is installed on your PC. And USB debugging enabled. And you have a working TWRP.img on your computer for example to minimal ad and fastboot folder. Then.

Connect your phone to PC with USB

Open a command prompt or run "minimal ADB and fastboot" prompt on your PC.

Type on PC prompt: adb devices (+enter)

If every driver installed correctly, then your PC will display the ID ot your Phone.

If displays then type: adb reboot bootloader (+enter)

The your phone will reboot in fastboot mode.

If you have fastboot mode:

Type on PC prompt: fastboot devices (+enter)

If every driver installed correctly, then your PC will display the ID ot your Phone.

If displays then type: fastboot boot TWRP.img (if your img file is not TWRP.img then rename it before) (+enter)

If everything is all right, your phone will reboot to recovery.

As I said, if you have fastboot (bootloader) [little green droid with fastboot word] mode:

Type on PC prompt: fastboot devices (+enter)

If every driver installed correctly, then your PC will display the ID ot your Phone.

If displays then type: fastboot boot TWRP.img (if your img file is not TWRP.img then rename it before) (+enter)

If everything is all right, your phone will reboot to recovery.

Attention ! ONLY for devices delivered with OREO 8.0.xxx. At 8.1.xxx there are problems!

This TWRP has been made for the P10.

On my Mediapad M5 10.8" LTE it works!

It can be safely used IF

- you have a FULL update of your build on the PC

- from the Update.zip the Update.app have unzipped

- with the HuaweiExtractor from the Upate.app

- - ramdisk.img

- - recovery_ramdis.img

- - system.img

extracted. The Extractor automatically makes a *.img.header for each *.img. These 6 files copy in yours

ADB-Folder. IF ANYTHING SHOULD WORK - flash this 3 img

- fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img

- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img

- fastboot flash system system.img

AND the pad is reset to stock-rom again.

If you can handle it, you need a TWRP and want to test it

https://xdaforums.com/p10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-emui-8-0-4-04-2018-t3773449

download

- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

If this works on a Mediapad M5 8 " ? I can not test it because of the lack of a device!

Who has no idea as a beginner: PLEASE LET IT BE !!!

Turning € 400 into a paperweight is NOT fun!

Absolutely important: look at the screen before flashing - "Bootloader: unlocked" & "FRP: unlock" !!!

With stock-rom OTA updates can still be received BUT only be installed with stock-recovery !!!

If the update is on the pad "Update now?" NO later !

- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img

Now install the update

Should the update "*****ing" helps https://xdaforums.com/honor-view-10/development/recovery-bkl-nocheck-recovery-flash-t3778085

This is flashed instead of stock recovery.

When everything is done, you can install TWRP afterwards.
