[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Funkmonkey:
Hokay so - From a factory refresh, to the OEM unlock trick -

Flashing TWRP with 3.13.1 and allowing the phone to reboot - Phone will reboot as normal, TWRP doesnt stick. Shutdown and reboot into recovery gives you stock recovery.

Flashing but ensuring phone reboots directly into recovery gives you TWRP. A format data and reboot directly into twrp again lets me install no-verity.

- AFTER DOING THIS I AM GETTING THE RED LINE OF DEATH - Something in the system isnt letting the modifications stick.

Reflashing with the Home_CSC still seems to work as normal and i havent had to go through the welcome stuff this time...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kratosjohn:
Have you found and used this after getting your phone setup right (w/twrp)?

I think you should flash magisk, then this after.

After I had this "panic" I flashed the custom rom I was aiming for (once RMM: Official). That rom has a kernel with the RMM state fixed/locked.

Maybe look for a custom kernel if you want root, I believe this is the fight we have to put up even on stock w/root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Aspiranteh:
Download the Australian stock rom and install it but do not recover IMEI or coverage. I think it's because my G950F (singlesim) cell phone thinks it's G950FD (double sim). This causes the cell phone to get confused and not recognize any imei or sim. Does anyone know how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Smartphones13:
Do we need to factory rest or just reboot phone after we change date?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Smartphones13:
Can you please help me? so when you say reset phone you are talking about restarting it? I have tried this a few times and not working for me. My oem has always been unlocked, but still have prenormal
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kratosjohn:
I was stuck here too, flash the latest CRED firmware he linked.

Then boot it one time (setup til you see launcher).

Do the OEM unlock method.

You can follow the steps after if you want root.

I suggest magisk and a custom ROM, that had RMM state fixed (so you won't get locked again).

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Funkmonkey:
Sorry i missed your reply i hope you got it fixed if not post again and ill see if i can help. Ive definantly gotten that oem unlock trick working which is awesome but its fiddly. I dont think it works if you turn on flight mode and you have to let the phone fight you between 'no automatic date and time' and the network forcing the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Funkmonkey:
Of course now i cant get the oem unlock trick working...

RE the dual sim issue... i think you would need the stock rom specific to your model try sammobile, see if there is a CRED release for your model. I cant guarantee it will work tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Smartphones13:
Thank you for your help, I am on the latest firmware now and into my Google and Samsung accounts. I am a little confused on the wording in the oem steps. I have tried it a bunch of times. Prenormal is still there, I already have the OEM unblocked, I can toggle OEM on and off but it doesn't change my rmm status. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Funkmonkey:
Thats exactly what im now struggling with. It absolutely did work twice but i cant get it to go now.

Heres the thing - both times i did it before, i would turn off automatic time and date and set the date backwards, then reboot the phone, when it reboots, automatic time and date were rechecked, and the date reset to now (hence the 'fighting with the date' comments) ... i think thats important, because now when i try it, automatic time and date stay OFF, the date does not reset, and i cant get the trick to work anymore. No amount of wifi/airplane/mobile data on/off seems to change owt.

If anyone reading has any ideas it would help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Smartphones13:
I see, so you suppose to set date back 8 days and turn off auto time and date and restart phone? When it comes back on to and set the date back to 8 days again? I thought you have to check the software? And then do those steps? So after I change the date back after that first restart, then what? Do I just turn OEM lock on and check download mode to see what the status is? I am not trying to be a pain o am just confused a little on the steps. Thank you for all your help

How do you tell what the s number is for the OM midlet?

When I press the short key cut key I get a "Could not find suite s0_" error message. When I dismiss the message I get the jbed midlet manager window which list Opera Mini and it's the only applet listed. I click on that and Opera Mini opens up.
[HTC Excalibur] tmcdoniel:
Perfect, the policy.utf file did the trick. I'm not so sure that I want to replace the iexplore shortcut to OM because there are still some limits to the OM applet over PIE. OM can't launch youtube for example.

Thank you ... thank you - Tim

I think i figured this issue out. Edit the Opera Mini.lnk file from run s0_ to run s4_

[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
Opera is the only java app that I have installed and I still get the error, however, I have installed and uninstalled a few times... so I think there may be .db remnants that force it further down the "install list" e.g. s2_

edit: just had to clean up \\application data\javaDB, works fine
[HTC Excalibur] truggl:
Hi all,

Glad I was able to help. I added a bit of information to my original post; I recommend starting with a blank slate, so to speak, because OperaDefault.cab is programmed with that assumption. When in doubt about your suite number, and if you don't care about OperaDefault, then you can look in (or post) your selector.utf file and get it from there.

[HTC Excalibur] ItsDon:
Having a very strange problem with Opera Mini 4. I'm using Ricky's Rom V5 with my Dash and Opera will not display fonts correctly. They all seem to have horizontal lines going through them and appear to be slightly stretched (that could be my imagination though). I checked the Jbed version and it appears to be the latest one (I never changed it) and I'm not sure where to go from here. Opera boots and runs fast :D but it's not legible at all. Any suggestions as to what I can try? I searched XDA but couldn't come up with anything. Thanks,
[HTC Excalibur] kasim1:
NM, I found Esmertec.
[HTC Excalibur] trmacdonal:
I am having this same problem. Does anyone know how to change the font in Opera Mini?
[HTC Excalibur] kasim1:
NOT TRUE.

I tried to use from s0_ to s4_, nothing worked....

Untill i opened my selector.utf(windows\appdb) and seen that gMail is "root=s-1_", so i've change my shortcut to point to "s-1_", this did the trick.

Thanx.

Question......

Does this work with the new Opera Mini 4.1 as well?
[HTC Excalibur] ItsDon:
It works just fine with Opera Mini 4.0 (didn't know there was a 4.1)
[HTC Excalibur] truggl:
I just tried. I don't know if having policy.utf is a prerequisite for this (I imagine that it is), but if you install the signed version of Opera Mini 4.1, an option will be added to the permissions list; you can "always allow" now.

Be warned: I don't know how well the open-in-OM application works with 4.1, because of the new address bar. Also, the new address bar assumes that any keypresses on the number keys are for numbers, as opposed to a QWERTY keyboard like the Dash's; you can switch back to the "classic" menu bar, which still works.

OM 4.1 is looking pretty good. The only thing I'm looking for now is a decent font! Any ideas on that front?
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
I have been searching like a mad man... for me it looks great in calibri. But the only way I can do this is by editing the Homescreen clock to also display in calibri instead of nina. Its bizarre, opera adopts your system font, but is reading the system font from the Chome_240x320.cpr file. Wieeeeerd.
[HTC Excalibur] bigcletus:
it is pretty unreadable with these fonts. Too bad :( Hope there is a solution.
[HTC Excalibur] Dreamcatch:
For me it helped to change the setting of the font size to small.

OM 4.1

Did you get this setup working with 4.1? I'm not having any luck as the instructions seem different for 4.1
[HTC Excalibur] truggl:
Hi Poser,

How do you edit the homescreen clock? I'm fine with a Calibri homescreen clock, so long as Opera looks good.

~truggl
[HTC Excalibur] truggl:
Hi Timothy,

This setup works fine for me. Did you try using the policy.utf file from my first post?

~truggl
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
you need to edit Chome_240x320.cpr in the \windows directory. Scroll down to the "clock" tags and you can change the fontfamily from Nina to whatever your heart desires as long as the font is your \windows directory. (eg. calibri.ttf)

Opera Mini 4.1 Beta

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to let you all know that Opera Mini 4.1 Beta works perfectly out of the box on Ricky's ROM (v15, and presumably later editions). No meddling with selector.utf is required, as 4.1 is signed, and no additional policy.utf file is needed. SD Opera Default works, provided OM is the first installed MIDlet—you just need to disable "direct input."

~truggl
[HTC Excalibur] truggl:
Well, I'm afraid it didn't work. Setting the font size to "small" at least improves the situation—the font is not very nice, but it's a little less pixelated.

Thanks…

Im guessing if you know what font you like....transfer it to your phone and select it.

WM6 SD OperaDefault.cab.zip worked great (as advertised) on my Dash (WM 6.1) with Opera Mini 4.0. I just reflashed my phone and installed Opera Mini 4.1 and now I get an endless copy/paste loop in Opera when I click an e-mail link. Anyone else experience this? Any fix for it?
[HTC Excalibur] ItsDon:
How do you disable direct input? Maybe that is the cause of my copy/paste issue?
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
Any solution for this?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
once opera 4.1 is opened , press menu--> settings--> uncheck direct address input
[HTC Excalibur] ItsDon:

My opera mini is at s-1. Turns out my selector that I reused from before I flashed a new ROM, had sprint music store loaded first. How can I change my selector file to make opera s0?
[HTC Excalibur] steve_bev:
Figured out how to bypass network permissions in 4.1

Final

, had to edit both selector.utf and policy.utf. In selector, changed to domain=tckmax , \ using a hex editor (keeping the 3 spaces between x and ,). In policy.utf, tckmax was called "tckma " for some reason, so added the x to the end with a hex editor fixed it. Copied both back to the phone and now it doesn't ask for permission anymore :)
[HTC Excalibur] roachfishing:
I'm using the Kavana WM6.1.

For what it's worth, I found that I definitely had to use a hex editor:

I chose this one

http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm#download

And, I had to use three trailing spaces after the tckmax edit. Props to the Treo boards.

Also, I chose to just create a new shortcut based off of the short_IE.lnk called Opera.lnk and put that in the Start Menu folder. Doesn't launch directly into Opera, but just gets me to the menu. Good enough for me at this point.

Thanks guys!
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Anyone found a fix other than font size to small? I've been scouring the forums and have come up with nothing.

Running most recent Ricky's 6.1, used CHome Font changer to try out the options, and Opera Mini is stuck with Kavana's LCD font which is blurry and broken at medium or large font size in Opera Mini. Everything else changed back when I went to default settings. Any ideas on a fix or am I going to have to reflash the ROM and start from scratch? Or if someone could give me a quick walk through on how to edit and repair, that would be super cool.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] falleny:
thanks....i just did the tweak...

system wide browser did not work for me...cos my OPM is S11_

and i need to point out that...for me, when I hack the selector.utf

it works with

"tckmax, /"

not

"tckmax , /"

hey everyone! so i just successfully installed kavana 6.1 on my dash . . and when i installed opera mini 4.1 right after i installed kavana 6.1, opera mini worked flawlessly and i was on cnn.com and everything . . but after i changed the regional settings to US and T-Mobile and stuff then when I tried to surf the web using opera mini again, it doesnt connect . . so does anybody know what my problem is and what i gotta do, or what the default settings were that i had when opera mini worked right after i installed kavana 6.1, or does opera mini just not work at all?

I was looking for it myself, I found this one on another thread here. I will attach this cab because I have tried it on my phone and it seems to work. It allows you to install Jbed to the SD card.

opera mini font

i remember reading this thread not too long ago.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2426562&highlight=font#post2426562

and the seem to state a way that opera mini chooses its font.

the convo went like this for those who dont want to follow the link.

Rip Syntaxx​

"You should be able to keep your clock in the LCD font. Just transfer the Tahoma font file from your PC to your Dash (place it in your \Windows folder). Rename the Tahoma font to "aatahoma.ttf". Reboot the phone. This will cause Opera Mini and PIE to pick up on this font FIRST."

NRGZ28​

"Really ? So that's the trick to getting apps like opera mini to choose a font ? They picks fonts alphabetically ? In that case maybe we can rename lcd.ttf to zzzzlcd.ttf "

pudgedaddy​

"yes. that is correct."

Does this help at all for the font thing?

Can anyone confirm this works?

Also I did notice the other fixes that were presented I just thought this might help as an alternative that doesn't have size issues XD

@truggl: Thanks for the support. It works great for me.

The focal length f 1.7 simply captures more light. it is mechanical, to improve the photo performance should be able to get the free settings as a Huawei P10 or LG. fvcamera for example does not liberate the capabilities of the camera. it really should be able to get a mod, like what was done on the Xiaomi Redmi note 4 on XDA

I think the reason the gcam ports won't install on the g6 is because it's a 32bit ROM and gcam needs 64bit ROM to work as well as sd 450 support. It does support 64bit ROMs someone just has to build one and you would have to root.

So i recently tried flashing a new kernel and for whatever reason my pixel 2 did not like that at all. Upon reboot after flashing it now just goes into the download mode where i have the option to reboot bootloader go into recovery and go into download mode. Normally not a big issue at all but this time when i go to load into recovery or load into Download mode its says Operation Denied. Upon a reboot or trying to reboot into safe mode it says ERROR: Slot unbootable: Load Error. Will ADB still work to flash this? not really sure what to do at this moment.

EDIT: Solved it by using Fastboot and flashing the stock firmware without the -w so far everything is back to normal....know to get that dern kernel again
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
First off, does fastboot recognize the device?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] gears177:
It does not under adb devices nothing shows up. In device manager it does show up as Android bootloader interface
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
ADB=system. Fastboot=boot. You can't boot your phone, so you're not in android, thus no ADB devices. Type "fastboot devices" and see if it's recognized.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] gears177:
Ah nice didnt even realize its recognized under fastboot ive tried flashing the stock recovery but it just gives me an error
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
Good news! So, your best bet at this point would be to re-flash your current factory image, with /w removed. If you still want that same kernel, flash it before Magisk.

Just out of curiosity, what method did you use to flash it in the first place?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] gears177:
Flashed it through twrp aroma installer.

What does the -w do in the fastboot command just curious

Nevermind got it flag responsible for deleting userdata thanks alot for the help appreciate your time :P
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
It wipes all your data, that's why you remove it from the flash-all.bat script, unless you need to perform a full wipe. Telperion has an excellent guide for installing the lastest software, if you haven't already read it.

I've heard users having back luck flashing kernels in TWRP, as the kernel has something to do with recovery. I always use the method of booting the TWRP image in fastboot, use ADB to push the files to /tmp, and then do an ADB shell TWRP install of those files. TWRP, kernel, then magisk, in that order. I always reinstall all three, just to be on the safe side, and have never had any issues. Takes a little while, but not as long as redoing the whole freaking thing:silly:

Looks like you figured it out, before I finished my reply :cool:
