Hey everyone,

Not a total NOOB but feel like one today...

I was stock ATT S8+ and accepted the OTA Update on Friday 6/23. After restarting the device, and optimizing apps, phone is stuck on unlocking padlock circle screen. Cleared cache through recovery, but have not done factory reset because I have data I'm trying to retain.

Downloaded Odin3 v3.13 and v3.13B and have tried all the Stock firmware I can find...but Odin keeps failing with similar logs:

On the phone, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl] 4 > Binary 3

By Googling it looks as though I need BL v4? and I'm not seeing anything past BL v3 (CRD4 CRE2)...

Any thoughts (other than factory reset...that's my last option...well that and replace it through ATT/Samsung)...

What's up with Sammie anyway? Two months ago I lost access to my micro SD that was encrypted after taking an OTA update...not a happy customer..

Thanks and sorry for previously asking in the discussion forum...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hazmad:
That FAIL: 4 > Binary 3 means you need a Firmware with bootloader V4. Once you're on v4, you can't go back to v3. G955USQU4CRE9 is an example of a firmware with BL v4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dinglayne:
Thanks Hazmad! So, how long has it been taking after the OTAs come out for the files to show up? Really trying to avoid a factory reset (at least until I can pull some pictures off my phone!)...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hazmad:
Not sure, it's different for each carrier. I hope you have backups, at least an adb backup. Samsung cloud backup does a decent job too. If you have a recent backup, it might be easier to factory resset, and then restore. If you don't have any backup, you risk losing all your data.

You can try odin flashing the BL & AP from T-Mobile's firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322275144 (Don't mess with the CP or CSC). If you do that without the nand erase option checked, this should keep your user data (app data, pictures, etc) intact. If you'd like, you can try the BL file on it's own first. If that doesn't fix it, then try the AP file. Flashing the AP file (without nand erase) will reset your system settings, but leave your user data. Flashing the BL by itself should leave your system settings alone.

If you can't boot to system after that, you can also try a combo BL v4 firmware. That might be a lot more work than it's worth though.

Hello

My microphone is doing something weird...

When I use it without any headset, the other person hears me so crappy and laggy...

If I plug the jack of any earphones, without external microphone, I am heard perfectly.

This is the same in every app: whatsapp, discord, imo, every app

I have an Axon 7 A2017 but being the Chinese version, the LTE bands are not the same as those in most of the operators in my country (Chile), since it does not have band 4 (1700-2100).

If I install a rom A2017U on my A2017, as in this guide https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-transform-chinese-a2017-b107-1-1-t3575320,

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xneo70:
Hello to everyone. I wanted to ask you.

I just bought my new. Galaxy s9. Plus from 4 weeks.

Till today all perfect.

This afternoon I took the phone in the Swimmingpool to take some pictures and videos in the pool.

It worked great and took great slow MO videos underwater.

After that I dried the phone and good.

Then I got a phone call and I almost can't hear anything during the. Call.

It seems like the volume is at the minimum. But on the settings it's on maximum.

Then I tried to listen to music and I noticed that. Covering. The speaker on the bottom you hear almost. Nothing as if the. Upper speaker was without volume.

Can this be a problem?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
According to an article I read recently about the water resistant details "you shouldn't push your luck — going swimming with an IP68-certified device isn't foolproof, and the chemicals you find in a swimming pool or the saltwater of the ocean might not mix well with your S9. Our advice? Be careful."

Let it dry out for 24 hours and hope for the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] arnes_king:
It is absolutely normal that the speakers are distorter after the phone was in the water. Just shake your phone a bit to get the water out and wait for it to dry. After it will be normal again.

The sound can not get fully through water if it is still there.

Happend to me with s7 and s8. Let it dry a few hours at normal temperature and it will be all good. Didn't wet my s9 yet :)

when it gets wet you can dry it in 2 mins or less with a paper towel and a blow dryer. Warning: dont put the blow dryer on high heat, use a medium or low heat with high air flow.

lay it on a paper towel in some white rice to suck the moisture out. its not a joke. needs to sit a day. remember its water resistant, not proof.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] Lk2:
Hi!

I have the latest default MIUI global ROM, but I'm having lot of troubles with it.

If I connect the charger, the mobile become very hot and it starts to throtling. If I go out in a sunny day, it thotles a lot. If I'm on the car and the mobile receive direct sun light, it starts throtling too... All this problem apparently have a common point: mobile getting hotter.

In addition, using several CPU monitors (CPU-Z, 3C Toolbox er even checking the filesystem directly) and all of them shows that CPUs 2 and 3 are "stopped", and this 2 apparently never wake up.

I read a bit on the forum about that and I have seen that, probably, my better option is to install a custom kernel, so I tried with Floppy and Psychedelic, but both bring me to a boot loop. I asume that, probably, both kernels are prepared for older modems than I have, but my knowledge and experience didn't help me more than this. I don't know if it is possible or recommendable to install an older modem with the latest MIUI ROM, and if that will solve the problem.

So, what will you do in my position? I don't want to change the ROM because I use the dual applications and splitted screen a lot, so I can change only if I can keep using this 2 MIUI features.

Any suggestion? Thank you in advance

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wild_dog:
So this one is an interesting one.

I have my HTC one M8 rooted using TWRP and magisk, and i'm also running the xPosed framework and xPrivacy.

About a month ago, Valve released an update for the steam controller firmware to be able to connect to other devices using Bluetooth LE and also launched the steam link app.

Of cource, i wanted to try this out so i decided to link up my steam controller to my M8.

Now pairing seems to be working, it is found and recognised as a bluetooth device and i seem to be able to pair.

However, it is only recognised as a mouse, not a gamepad, and the bluetooth menu indicates that i need to "move the mouse to restore connection" (this but in dutch).

The steam link app also does not recognise that i have connected the steam controller.

So far my google-fu has failed me, and since i have run into situations before where my rooting and usage of xprivacy has been an issue before, i would like to ask you guys for help if you know what might be wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
I don't need to hear about how old my device is, I love my Samsung captivate glide as all handsets are huge these days. I have an s5 neo as a tablet just for reference for size. I'm an ambedextrious swiper so even to use a bigger device with the keyboard smooshed to one side is still a pain as I'd be forever switching sides.

But for the longest time, I'd been using cm browser to view Facebook on. It worked well. But the last couple days, any browser I try won't load it properly at all... It loads the top blue areas but then I'm just left with a permanent loading circle for the news feed... But other sites still work

Did something change within Facebook itself to where the older OS can't show the content anymore?

I use the exact same browser and method on my s5 neo and it still works just fine. It's running 5.1.1 so not even *that* much newer OS wise.

Does anyone happen to know what could be up? For now I've got actual Facebook lite on my phone but I much prefer the browser look and feel. That way it goes away when I close it too.

Apart from this I haven't run into any other issues... It might be old and small but I still love it!
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
Unfortunately Facebook had stopped its support for older Android devices and the following are just a few of the articles regarding this.

https://www.guidingtech.com/65522/facebook-messenger-obsolete-android-ios/

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-...s-tablets-windows-android-apple-a7656946.html

Your only alternative is to use what's called a Facebook Wrapper App. These are apps that access Facebook in a type of redesigned way. It's hard for me to explain this exactly.

I personally use the following that's called "Simple Social" for Facebook.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.simple.app

There's a ton others out there on both the Play Store and even on the Forum.

I hope that I had helped you out with this... :)

[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
So, a while ago I had gone into.... I can't even remember where now, but I was able to fool the play store and my phone itself into saying it's running 5.1.1 though it isn't... I'm guessing this little hack doesn't trick things universally? Only since it does still work on my actual 5.1.1 device. I used that number on purpose, since it's ahead of my phone but not tooooooo far ahead

But I will check out those articles though and that app. I had no idea that was happening (obviously lol), thanks for the info!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpreen:
Hi folks, I’m not finding the CORRECT info on what I need to reset my phone. The following is what I have gleaned (& used) from the web sources etc.

Phone details: S6 SM-G920W8, was rooted and running Oreo quite happily (aside from telephony)

Was changing, using a TWRP BU to a Nougat TWRP BU ROM something went wrong!!!

Only have access to Odin: (Vol -/Home/Power buttons

Not able to use: Vol+/Home/Power buttons response

Used Odin to install the following file, G920W8VLS6DRC1_G920W8OYA6DRC1_G920W8VLS6DRC1_HOME.tar.md5. It installs giving off the following: Pass in Odin. Phone then Reboots after install to “System Update” then “Erasing”, then Samsung Logo then "Android is starting up". After this it just loops between Logo & Android Starting.

The other file, G920W8VLU5DQD4_G920W8OYA5DQD4_G920W8VLU5DQD4_HOME.tar.md5 (just checks the MD5,hit start then “Fails”

Using Odin 3.13.1 & Samsung Drivers are installed.

Anyone point me as to what I’m doing wrong please??

The 2 files used are:

G920W8VLU5DQD4_G920W8OYA5DQD4_G920W8VLU5DQD4_HOME.tar.md5

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razor001_:
The First File (G920W8VLS6DRC1) it flashes ok because the bootloader on your phone is "6" (Thats the fifth number in that file name) the second it fails because the Bootloader is version 6 so is only accepting version "6" and not "5" (G920W8VLU5DQD4).

To fix your problem turn off your phone pressing Vol- + Power. Keep pressing Vol+ + Home + Power (the three at the same time). its going to boot on recovery. its going to appear an Android with an X and under it "No Command (keep calm this is normal). let it there without touching anything until the recovery appears, then wipe Data+Cache and reboot it should be fixed by now.

As an aside, would I be correct that when it first went wrong and went into the Factory Reset mode, would it have installed the last version of my rooted ROM?? Please say "no" and don't make me cry with a "yes"!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Nope, it is is boned. Whoever you bought it from locked the bootloader while they still had a modified boot, recovery or laf partition. There is no way to unlock the bootloader since the phone won't boot. Fastboot won't allow it since OEM unlock is no longer enabled, and you can't enable it since you can't boot the phone (catch-22).

LG is the only one that can fix that phone now.

Throw it back on eBay for parts...

400k!!!! That's some SERIOUS compression. I'll have to blow the dust off my old 3.5" floppy disk drive and start using it for movie storage. Are you sure it wasn't 400MB? That'd be typical of high quality Xvid, Divx or WMV compression at or lower than 640x480.

matumartin14 - I've had very good results using pocketdivxencoder (0.3.96). I've converted several DVD's (VOBs), divx movies and divx tv shows for use on my Elfin. I have a lot of experience using old school tools, but pocketdivxencoder does everything I need fast and painlessly. I can whip up a short guide if you like.

Hugo RSF - I've actually been fairly impressed with the video performance of the Elfin. For years I used a Dell X5 basic which has a 300MHz Xscale (overclockable to 400MHz) and I've notice no loss of performance with my 201 MHz OMAP, other than the smaller screen (2.8" vs 4.0").

I've used an external GPS with my Elfin on several occasions (using Nav4all), but never TomTom so I couldn't comment on that.
