[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
Some if not all bootloaders nowadays are not "locked" by the manufacturer using a code but are usually "locked" by employing a digital signature and/or a CID (carrier Id) hard coded into the OS. When we "unlock" a bootloader with a code we are simply using a routine written into the loader by the manufacturer to now ignore signatures and/or CIDs of the OS and this allows us to flash whatever we wish.

Sometimes upon unlocking using a code the DS/CID is erased/altered and cannot be retrieved, so not a good idea to relock an altered bootloader.

At least, that is my understanding of it.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fredin_:
That's too bad. Means we won't get back our waranty if we relock it ?. So thanks for the heads up . I'll be careful while unlocking it again (if ever).?
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
Not necessarily, I doubt if most service centres would bother delving that deep, but maybe some would.

I don't know...........
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fredin_:
Thanks for your quick reply but do you know any way to get back CID/DS
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
No, but I haven't delved that deeply into Huaweis bootloaders, but I NEVER attempt to re-lock them.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fredin_:
Anyways thanks for your replies. Means a lot ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Hey guys, so I bought a used Note 8. The battery has drained down to 0% in the past and this wasn't an issue until a month and half after I bought it. I was watching a youtube video then fell asleep. Wake up and try to charge my phone and it won't charge. I try some tricks I find online and none works. So i go to a phone store and get the battery replaced. That was two weeks ago.

Fast forward to last night and the same thing happens and my phone won't charge. I've seen two different threads about this on the Samsung forums website. I was wondering anyone else here has had this problem and how they fixed it.

It will appear that my phone's circuit is faulty and I'd need to sell mine and buy a new one, hopefully free of these issues. Have any of you experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] akslow:
Exynos or Snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Not sure.... My phone is the U.S. T-Mobile Variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] akslow:
On snapdragon it is known issue:

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-deep-discharge-protection/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Thanks I'll look into it. So buying a new T Mobile NOte 8 wouldn't be worth the risk cause the issue might show up again?

I'm gonna go after that tool but now I wonder if this issue would happen again if my battrey deplets over time even if my phone is off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
It's NOT a Note 2!, It's a Note 8. It still has warranty. Same thing happened to mine, 0% and would not come back on nor charge. The service center changed the charge port and battery and still no charging. Then they changed the mainboard and now it works fine. WARRANTY
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
There was a guy on here who managed to fix it without changing hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
One fix for 0% battery is to plug-unplug charger for 30 minutes or so until it gets enough power to turn on(didnt work for me). Another fix I read about was to open phone and "shock" battery back to life. I like my solution....WARRANTY. If the phone is dead, and there is no physical damage and no water damage when they open it, then they WILL fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Does this occur with the Exynos variants?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
I bought it pre owned from swappa but what I did do was slap a Warranty Life wrranty on it. Its $50 deducatable. I used it to get it open and replaced the battery last time. And it was quick and painless except for the 50 bucks from the local repair store that supported Warranty Life. Are you saying Samuing itself would take the phone? Even if I bought it second hand? I thought you'd need to pay for their premium care thing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
Yes Samsung would take it in for repair. I did not provide an invoice when I brought to repair center(UbreakiFix). They know its under warranty because the phone is under 1 year old.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Free of charge?! YOu just took it in and they did it free of charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I don't know, but I drained mine to zero once by accident, so I plugged it in for a bit and it booted up fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
Step 1: Called Samsung and told them phone is dead. They asked for my name and phone number(just for the call not for warranty purpose), and asked for IMEI

Step 2: Gave them my Postal Code(Canada) and they found an authorized service center near me(in this case it was a UbreakiFix. They are now Samsung authorized and everywhere).

Step 3: Brought it to UbreakiFix and they did not ask for anything but my name and phone number, to call me when it was ready.

Step 4: Picked it up a week later(because they had to order a new mainboard). If it was just a battery or usb charge port, probably would have been a day or two.

Step 5: Walked out of the service center having not paid one cent for the repair (usb charge port, battery and mainboard all changed, something like $700 repair cost)...because it is under WARRANTY. The phone is less than one year old(released in September 2017 here in Canada) and it comes with a standard one year warranty.

The repair center looks for physical damage and water damage(once it's opened). If they don't find damaged caused by the user, they fix it. The only problem I had with Samsung was with an S7 a few years back. The screen started to flash(blink) and they refused to fix it. No physical damage at all but it was rooted. They said too bad we won't fix(even though root did NOT cause this problem). The screen was defective and phone was a few months old. What I should have done was fried the f*ckin mainboard (can't see if rooted) and they would have fixed it. Live and learn....

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Not all Note 8s have this problem. Definitely some out there do and Samsung has acknowledged this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I know, I was just replying to the guy who asked if it specifically affected Exynos. You're right though, it seems to be a problem with some units but not all devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Hmm so you think replacing my mainboard would stop this from happeneing again? Replacing the battery the first time this happened fixed the issue? When yours was fixed, did it do it again? or was it the mainboard was fried?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
The mainboard was not fried. When they changed the damaged usb charge port(and the battery as per Samsung policy), it powered up, but would still not charge. So the next step was a new mainboard. From my understanding, and what the tech guy told me, these authorized Samsung service centers follow Samsung's procedure when warranty repairing a device.

It's been more than a month and no problems so far. It's like I got a new phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
Yeah they do. I'm sure I'm gonna have the same issue again. If I purposefully let the battery drain to 0, i'm sure this stuff will happen again. I don't want to be caught with my pants on the ground. I'm thinking, get the mainboard/pone replaced will stop me from ever having to fret again.

Have you ever tried letting the battery go to 0% with your new phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TRoN_1:
It's very rare my phone goes to 0%. I always charge at night because I want a fully charged phone in the morning. I don't want to experiment or test this new repair by killing the battery on purpose. From what I have been reading(and I read a lot when this happened to mine), it not a good idea to completely discharge lithium batteries. That doesn't mean if you do, the battery should fail, it's just better for the life of the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] edo101:
So you haven't tested to see if it'd happen again? I've heard this is an issue with like 25% of them. I had drained my battery to 0 like once or twice before this happened. I don't want this to happen anymore and I am sure if I were to sell this to somoen else, they'd have gotten to a point where the drained to 0%. Most avg user don't know this and I dont' want a phone that can run into a danger of doing it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Glad to hear. But just to be on the safe side. I don't think I will risk it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Yes, it only happened to me by accident. Don't let it get to zero if you can avoid it :)

Hi, I have a nokia 6 TA-1025 (first version) with android 8.1 and almost always it is so slow, so laggy, many often when wifi is enabled or when wifi loses signal or when bluetooth is active, when I want to make a call, the phone app takes too long starting or opening an app takes too long too (whatsapp), I have not so much apps, I have "lite versions" of the apps (facebook, fb messenger, skype) some other bank apps. The camera app also takes too long opening (any app that uses the camera takes too long opening it), I have a lot of free space, no sd card, only one sim, and so on... as I said, it is too slow almost always (most when it is charging). I had a moto g4plus and I had never issues with it.

Whan can you suggest me? a factory reset? buy a new phone

Thanks
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RAcilo:
Are you sure that that phone is legit?
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroPointMax:
Mine is pretty responsive all the time. Also, my battery lasts pretty long, sometimes 2 days but mostly 1,5.

I suggest you to look into the battery settings and check out the background blacklist. I have observed that sometimes some apps are removing themselves from that list.

Android shows which apps are draining the battery in the accu settings too, so be sure to check that out and maybe remove misbehaving apps.

Edit:

If you upgraded to Oreo without wiping data, this COULD be the reason too. In this case, you should backup your data and wipe cache + do a factory reset. Although I cannot tell for sure that is is the reason.

You can also try wiping the cache from recovery without doing a factory reset. This will not erase any userdata.

Sure it is, I bought it at walmart with warranty... a common buy

My TA-1025 slows down most noticeably when it auto launches Android Auto on Bluetooth connection in stand-alone mode. Especially when switching to maps. The only way to make it more responsive is to clear all running apps before launching AA. It is quite frustrating.

this is a quote from him

[MENTION=8042051]Vordx[/MENTION] is my account on XDA and it got banned for "racism" after i didn't use the account for almost a month.

In my recent comments as you can see I wasn't racist at all , not even a lil bit and I'm not a racist irl either.

Why i think this could be a glitch or human error is that i once got banned and punished 7+ months ago after a moderator thought i was being racist to Arabs. After the punishment , [MENTION=8042051]Vordx[/MENTION] i explained to the mod that i wasn't being racist because some people from my family are Arabs, it was just in a joking way (that's popular) , the moderator understood the situation and things moved on.

Now after 8 months I'm banned for racism while I never was a racist my entire life?. If I'm banned AGAIN for something i did and got punished for 7 months go then that's very unfair and extremely illigal based on my friend who's also a lawyer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_bis_in_idem .

i tried filling the form for appealing and got 0 response like if i don't exist or have my rights. this is really disappointing and heart breaking to see such a big website treating their senior users in such a way.

Hi all,

I wanted to flash my phone with the "Artemis Touch 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM" from meschle, but after starting the STEP 1 batch file, I get an error that the flash software cannot be run under a 64 bit operating system. Any ideas how to avoid this error, or do I really have to find a 32 bit machine from somewhere?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skauld:
Hello!

I'm sorry if this gets asked all the time or has been answered already. But I'm looking for some advice and sometimes I get lost in threads containing a lot of information so I thought I'd make my own and hope that someone will show or point me in the right direction of what I need.

I currently have the Samsung S6 Edge the 32GB edition and while in the early days it was absolutely perfect for my needs; now I'm struggling for space.

With the updates and bulkware I'm left with 10GB if I'm lucky and with some apps and songs I'm struggling for space for the odd picture or two.

So I'm looking for a ROM that'll leave me some room to at least enjoy the features of the camera! Any help will be awesome!

TLDR;

Have S6 Edge 32GB

Need a ROM that'll be light on storage.

Also perhaps a guide on how to flash the ROM.

Kind regards,

Skauld
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
First thing... If your only left with around 10GB left there's something wrong. You should have around 28GB free after the OS and the usual bloat.

If you want to look into custom ROMs best place to start is here in the cross development section although not so many are still developed nowadays.

You can always use a package disabler to remove a load of the bloat and stuff you don't use.

What model do you have?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Marhan93:
Hey, my friend has a Pixel 2 that seems to have gotten bricked today. His phone was working fine all day but when he tried to unlock it to check the time, it was suddenly in fastboot mode. He was running stock android, and has never flashed any custom ROM/software to it, nor unlocked it: [IMG="Picture of phone with fastboot"]https://imgur.com/8cX9njK[/IMG]

I can't open recovery mode or boot the OS from fastboot. The only option I can access is the "barcode" one. I've been trying to flash a factory image from google(as I've done several time for my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 using the fastboot/ADB from CMD), but currently ADB won't recognize the device(probably because USB debugging and other developer settings are off/have never been accessed at all), and Fastboot recognizes the device but can't perform any flashing to it because it's locked. I also tried deuces script from a folder with all the factory .img files unzipped etc. I also updated the USB drivers in windows, but basically every step I can find here, on reddit or on stack overflow mention enabling USB-debugging and OEM unlock in the settings, which I can't access. Is there anything I can try or is it per definition bricked? [IMG="error msg"]https://imgur.com/FoPPzYk[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Have you tried using the OTA instead of the factory image? That might give you a workaround to get it functioning again.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jdisco1:
Have you tried changing your usb cable and the port its plugged into? Its stupidly simple, but has solved nuuuuuumerous problems I've had with manually flashing.

Other that that, I think you've covered a lot of bases. Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode tho? I was only able to get in by unplugging, full power off, then using power + vol dn for bootloader mode, then selecting recovery mode. You might be able to do some flashes from there.

Also, adb only works in the OS and maybe recovery mode. Fastboot only works in bootloader mode. I'm not exactly sure if fastboot needs to be authorized. Adb does though.
