Thanks for your help. Since in download mode frp lock shows as on I did not tried to install twrp. I don't know what will happen because my friend gave it with a Factory reset to me.

when i connect the call with the bluetooth sony HBH-DS980, after 1 to 2 mins the connection between the handset and the bluetooth drops and the voice starts coming from the handset itself....how can i rectify this???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] sas90850:
I own HBH-DS980 and HBH-DS220 both have this issue

Very easy to solve.

You must turn on Headset first, and then turn on PDA bluetooth. I think this problem is only happened on Sony Ericssion.

I'm bringing this here after seeing all the struggles everyone had with the batter.

Basically what everyone can do is message their local Samsung provider. I just sent e-mails to both CEO and Technical department.

I'm coming with an update, even if no one posted.

I sent a letter (complex, well documented one, with a lot of refferences from here and others having issues, possible patches, reviews, etc) to the Samsung Romania CEO and Dev Department and I got a phone call from them. They said that they are looking into the issue. I linked them the Anandtech reviews and patches, so they can't say it's nothing lol.

Let's hope for the better.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GphonePrince:
I do not know and don't have more time to dig into the details of rooting a phone (although I have already spent hours scrolling here and looking for basic knowledge). However I want to root my new u12+.

I successfully rooted my last phone according to a guide I found on this forum, which was a friendly, step-by-step, detailed guide for noobs like myself: https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223

I know there's a guide for u12+ here but it isn't detailed enough which I find it difficult to follow. I am looking forward to a guide which is as detailed as the one above. Please help.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
If my guide is too difficult to follow for you, you should probably wait a bit longer until twrp is available. This will make things easier.

But to be honest my guide is pretty detailed and describes each step that needs to be taken.

as already mentioned in the thread you should always research properly before blindly following “friendly” guides.

I think with a tiny bit of research the guide is pretty easy to follow.

with that said, if you face a specific hurdle or question you cannot solve with proper research, just post in my thread and I’m sure myself or somebody else will help you out :)

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GphonePrince:
it's not only about 'researching properly'.

Thing is, for instance, reading the first few lines from your 'detailed' guide, I already don't know how to obtain the 2 prerequisites:

- latest adb and fastboot binaries

- working adb and fastboot environment

and for the first prerequisite, I already have a bunch of questions to ask despite already researching for hours on XDA:

1. I searched and found something called 15 seconds adb but how can I ensure it's the latest? it was posted a few years ago

2. I know fastboot is a mode which my phone can boot to but what are fastboot 'BINARIES'? what is a binary even? is the thing included in the package I download from the above thread?

3. what is a working adb and fastboot environment and how to obtain/achieve/test whether I have already got it?

and then what are boot images and I couldn't find/download the boot.img of my version. I cannot see mine from the google drive link from another thread - this problem has been described in your thread too

I think more descriptions or download links would be more helpful for guiding us to achieve these - to be more specific, a presentation like the thread of rooting K10 I provided above is what I am looking for. I know it might be just noobs like me who need it but yea, I do need something like this so I would insist on requesting a more 'friendly' and detailed guide of your same method so that I could perform what you are describing in your guide accurately. See if anyone can help if you are not into writing one.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DaConcho:
[MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] went out of his way to give everyone a VERY user friendly guide for rooting. It really couldn't be simpler. Sorry but if there are things in there you don't understand then it is on you to research it and learn, rather than the responsibility of the community to break it down. If you post your questions people will be more than willing to help explain things but the responsibility is on you.

The guide for rooting really couldn't be easier than what was posted. Very user friendly. If that's still too much than just as Freak said, you should wait for twrp to be available.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
it´s all about researching properly! I will demonstarte it to you!

1. if I google "latest fastboot and adb binaries"

https://www.google.com/search?q=latest+adb+and+fastboot+binaries

the very first article from xda points you to a direct download link from google.

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/

the article even states that these will remain the latest binaries. But just so you can see the actual version try "adb version" in terminal.

there are many guides on xda on how to set up your fastboot/adb folder/environment depending on your OS! just try to follow one and see if adb/fastboot commands actually work.

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file

the adb and fastboot binaries are the files inside the downloaded package from 1. called adb and fastboot. (the filename extension may vary with your OS)

3. regarding researching

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021205

this was the first link that appeared on a simple google of

"how to check if adb is working"

I think I will include this actually in my guide as it seems a good idea to check if adb/fastboot is working.

Working adb environment can be checked with the command

adb devices

working fastboot environment with

fastboot devices
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
So I took a look at the guide you linked us to.

Half of the links are deleted by a moderator. They probably pointed to some videos that are not allowed on XDA, because they generate income of some sort. So it seems to me.

Personally I feel that my guide is as detailed as the one you linked. And less confusing.

My guide explains how to root the your U12+ (with the current state of things - means no fully working TWRP) and a ton more things. I intentionally left out how to unlock your bootloader, set up adb and fastboot. The simple reason is that there are tons! of guides out on XDA which are just a simple XDA or Google search away.

Ultimately XDA is a place to learn and strive forward as a community. You don´t want to learn, you just want a guide that explains every little detail. ( at best with photos and videos) If you don´t have the time to research at least a little bit, my offer still stands. Wait for a working TWRP as it will simplify the matter.

We already explained to you, there are many people that answer specific questions that arise on your path. Other people profit from these answered questions, in case you ask them and post them in the corresponding thread.

I already answered your last 3 questions. So you should at least be able to start and see where it brings you.

I´m also not deaf to any valuable feedback. I already added that "how to check if adb is actually working" to the guide as it seemed a good idea to me.

So please feel free to contribute, what´s ultimately the purpose of a community.

The other question were asked and answered. If there is no firmware zip for your current firmware version, wait until it is uploaded or kindly ask in the firmware thread if anybody is able to share it.

Otherwise there is a bit of risk involved because you have no way of obtaining the stock boot.img from your current firmware.

here is answered what a boot.img is

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21173628/what-is-boot-img-file-in-android

I even give you one more information. Because this is an A/B device with a bit of a different partition layout, the recovery, which usually has its own partition, sits in the ramdisk, which is part of the boot.img.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GphonePrince:
Despite already answered by you, since that actually further brings up tons of follow up questions of mine, mind leaving me your instant messaging contact? Like WhatsApp or telegram or discord etc. As you have admitted, your guide needs tons of further researching (as you know there are tons of articles but I don't know which one is the one I'm looking for and suitable for my phone) and the link I have as an example doesn't (deleted links were screenshots and YouTube videos by the op). is not I am expecting rapid back and forth asking and clarifying into details on each question. Asking in the forum is too slow and not time efficient
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
No sorry I won´t do that. If this forum is too time inefficient for you, you can look elsewhere for a more detailed guide or wait until a better one appears here that suits your needs.

You´re asking others to invest time so you can save your own time. You´re asking for knowledge from people, who invest time to obtain this knowledge. Part of this forum is to post questions here, so others can actually profit from the questions answered. Just like you would profit if you´d actually start searching here.

And please don´t put any words into my mouth, that I never said. My guide doesn´t need "tons" of research, just because there are more than enough guides out there.

We can stop here, because you´re clearly asking for a thing which XDA is not about.

If anyone else steps up and writes a more detailed guide that person is very welcome to do so :) I´m not preventing anyone.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GphonePrince:
I remember once there was a chat group for rooting a phone on stacks, WhatsApp or discord. Why not make one for u12+ to ease everyone? It's 2018, maybe the mode of forum isn't fast enough and needs to be changed. Forum is for complete detailed guides. But if you insist, this thread can become one with hella short questions and answer posts. That's also not aesthetical. Also, do think about your initial aim of releasing a guide. isn't it helping others who don't know how to root u12+? if so, why declining an even effective way of teaching people (me) by allowing me to send you my questions instantly whenever I encounter problems following your guide? Or, which you should disagree with, is it only for your self-gratification to gain recognition from others in this 'community'?

Anyway, even you are not physically preventing anyone from fulfilling my request, what you said already to a certain extent have driven potential writers away. It's actually kinda selfish because it's totally fine if you are not writing one but you don't have to drive people away from writing one. Anyway, so, provided no hopes on anyone writing a rooting guide for noobs, let me start my follow up questions although as I have expected, I will be asking for every small detail which probably most of the experts here already know because I don't have the ability to research properly (I did researched for more hours but I still can't find my answers). I said to 'save time' means to use time effectively - if I use my time to research and actually get what I am looking for, time is not wasted; but if I cannot reach what I want anyway after spending the time, it is wasted.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
please don´t get personal with your arguments.

everyone, including you, is free to start such a chat! Open it up and get it going. It´s just, that I won´t start it nor will I maintain or support it.

Again my guide is complete and detailed. and if there is indeed something missing or a little change to be made to make it a bit more polished I will update it. As I already did.

Feel free to ask your questions in the thread and I´m sure they will be answered at some point. Then everyone can profit from your research and from the questions and answers that arose while doing the research.

time spent on researching is never wasted. even if you don´t find all answers swiftly it is never wasted. The journey is the reward!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Thread closed. This seems to have become a thread less focussed on finding an answer and more so on flaming your peers. Given that that seems to be the case for the entire thread, there is no point in leaving this open if all it is going to do is cause excessive drama.

Hey guys,

Currently on the unofficial recovery + latest LOS. Decided I really miss the camera system of stock and I could live with stock+root. How do I head back to stock?

I flashed KANGVip ROM (based on v131) from LOS yesterday and it worked fine. I reckon this will work...

1 Reboot to TWRP

2 Wipe [Dalvic/ART, Cache, Data, System]

3 Use HuRUpdater to flash 131. See this post for the files...

Good luck!

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
Hi folks,

I just bought my Nokia 7 plus on Saturday and it seems that more often than not the volume up key doesn't work. It appears to be completely random as to whether it will work or not.

It seems to be a software issue as sometimes it works perfectly, then at random times, it will stop working. The issue persists while booting, as I can't enter recovery when it isn't working.

Has anyone else faced this issue?

Edit: well I have tried factory resets, flashing p beta then downgrading back to Oreo and still the issue persists. I will return it for a replacement. If nobody else has had this issue, then I guess it must be an intermittent hardware issue.

Edit 2: new device and it's all working perfectly. Already love this phone. Looking forward to beta 3

RhinoShield CrashGuard and SolidSuit for the Galaxy S9+​

RhinoShield offers three different types of protection solutions for the Galaxy S9+. Two different type of cases, along with a screen protector, make up the popular CrashGuard Bumper and SolidSuit options that RhinoShield offers for many flagship phones.

SolidSuit $29.99+

The full-body protection of the SolidSuit case comes in* Carbon Fiber and Classic Black. The minimal design doesn't hide the contours of your phone, while a subtle raised lip provides excellent screen protection. The ShockSpread design offers an impact protection of up to 11 feet, while still being ultra thin and lightweight.

Apart from the innovation in materials, the Honeycomb Structure (a hexagonal pattern lines the inner surfaces of the case, improving shock absorption by up to 10%) and the Raised Lip Design also help in protecting the phone.

Features

Exceeds Military Standards

Stain Resistant

Roomy Port Switch Openings

Raised Lip Covers All Drop Angles

Durable-Material

BPA / BPS / BPF Free Food Grade

100-Recyclable

3mm-thin And 30g-light

CrashGuard $24.99

The minimal bumper design comes in both white and black color options. The same ShockSpread design is found in the CrashGuard bumpers, with up to 11 feet of impact protection. The snug fit of the bumper will ensure that your Galacy S9+ doesn't pop out, even when you drop it. You can also rest easy knowing that your bumper will not become loose over time, like many other bumpers on the market.

Features

ShockSpread™ - Absorbs over 11 feet (3.5m) of impact

Exceeds Military Standards

Durable Material

2.8mm Thin & Lightweight

Raised Lip Covers All Drop Angles

100% Recyclable

Roomy Port + Switch Openings BPA/BPS/BPF Free + Food-Grade

1. I use AT&T in the USA. In the past when using Huawei phones no matter which application I use for text, MMS pictures appear fuzzy and smaller in size then the same pics being sent from an AT&T phone. I've used google messages, textra, makes no difference...is there a way to send MMS pictures with high quality images?

2. Is there a way to turn off the auto dimming feature? When I open chrome or gmail it dims by itself, even when auto brightness is set to off. I have read this is a long standing problem with huawei.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] monkeyisland90:
Hi folks...

so i sold my blackberry pearl and added 100.00 for a nice cingular 8525. i needed to unlock this phone so i came across "pof" tutorial and methods of unlocking myself.. i went through the process thinking i did have 1.04 radio because when i go to bootloader (tri color screen) it shows IPL 1.04 and spl-shipped.. so i thought 1.04 was the version... the tutorial mentions spl-xxx is the version but mine says shipped.. (whats with that? :confused:) so basically i followed the steps and later got sucess word and punched in the code given by "pof" but it didn't work and now says "you have tried 6 times and wait until time"

so i don't want to screw this up anymore so come to you guys for help..

so i went to the device system menu

and radio version says 1.48

rom version is 3.0

win 6 mobile

phone is cingular and my sim card is tmobile

so i guess i have 1.48 and not 1.04 that is needed to unlock myself... so i heard if i don't have 1.04 i need to get the imei number and get the unlock code so i went to http://www.wirelessunlocks.com/ and hopefully the code they give me will work.. i paid 7.99 for this service..

so my questions.

1. since i followed "pof" instructions and got sucess at the end.. despite having a 1.48 radio version... did i permanently damage my phone? or i think the word is "bricking".

2. Wirelessunlocks.com i used... to get the code number (which hasn't come yet) does these services have a high sucess rate?

3. if the wirelessunlocks.com service doesn't seem to work.. what are my other options? perhaps i can downgrade to 1.04 from 1.48 ? or any method so i can start using this phone will be great.. has been very frustrating...process but i'm learning :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] conyeje2:
I hope this helps!

When I first unlocked AT&T 8525 my phone, I read up all the articles on how it could be bricked, and by the time I finished reading them, I figured, well.....if my phone bricks....then, it was meant to be, lol. I used the pof unlocker v3a the day I got my phone, and it worked. I have no idea what version of spl, or ipl I had before, but the way that they talk about it on the site, it seems that its safe to use with any HERM100 phone. Oh, and I found this video on the pof site. http://youtube.com/watch?v=4lA9S9ELSAU Let me know how things go! Oh, and when your phone is a brick, it means that it is useless, whether it be that when you turn it on, it freezes at the startup screen and never loads windows, or whether it doesnt turn on anymore, or any state that seems hopeless. I think that if your phone enters a state where it keeps going to the bootloader mode, that it still can be saved, but I'm not 100% sure. If anyone else reads this and disagrees, please correct me! Oh, and when you get your phone unlocked, feel free to contact me about any cool things you wanna do to it. I got about 6 months of experience now, lol. Doesn't come close to some of the senior members who create their own roms now, lol, but I can still be of help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Ok, monkeyisland90, radio rom has got NOTHING to do with unlocking the hermes. Its the IPL & the SPL. To see these go into bootloader screen. How to do so are in Pofs instructions.... Follow the instructions STEP by STEP and you cant go wrong. A large number of people have done this successfully (including myself) so you should have no trouble. Most people "skip ahead" and thats how you will get into hot water. Try again and I think, if you go step by step, you will have no trouble. Dont forget to install hard SPl on before upgrading roms though. It'll help if things go wrong( and they will at least once) to recover your Phone. If the radio rom seems to work ok and there is no real battery drain LEAVE IT ALONE... This is probably the riskiest part to flash as a failure generally means a brick. Most, if not all, cooked roms dont include a radio so can be considered safer to flash. Personally I prefer to use the sd card method of flashing as there has been less problems for me with this method but it comes down to personel preference. Happy Flashing......:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] monkeyisland90:
but when going to the bootloader (tricolor screen) it says

ipl-1.04

spl-shipped..

and pof says that after spl-xxx it should be your rom version.. but mine says shipped.. what the heck does that :confused: mean?

is this where i need to do the hard spl?
