[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] 24kWolf:
I tried to go back to stock firmware from Crdroid which is AOSP but when I try to install the stock firmware through Odin It gets stuck on system and an error pops up on the phone saying "kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1"

I then thought ill just install the rom again but in Twrp I am getting "failed to mount /preload (invalid argument)"

Really not sure what to do and the results I have found online don't work.

Edit: I was able to fix the error and have been asked to provide the details of how I fixed it so below is how to fix it if you run into this error.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] 24kWolf:
How I was able to fix the error and get the phone working again:

All you need to do is go to this post - https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/official-stock-firmware-thread-samsung-t3764479

Download the most recent firmware and flash in Odin. (There is instructions on how to download the correct firmware in the post)

This is only what I think happened and I might be completely wrong.

I think that because there is protection from downgrading your firmware and for some reason flashing what was the latest firmware at the time was making the phone think I was downgrading which is what gives the kernel error. All I had to do was wait until the next firmware was released which lucky for me only took 4 days.

i've recieved some mms messages, where/how do you view the picture attachments?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
When I open the MMS application on my phone and select the message I want to view, the left soft button is named 'objects'. Press it and the message is divided into audio, text, and image. Click on the image to view it. Click on the right soft button called 'menu' for the save option and/or assign to contact.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] pjackson:
i don't get anything like that. i just get prompts to 'download' the message in mms (nothing seems to happen when i do), but also get a link as a text message to view on t-mobile website, which i can.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
from memory...a few months ago a friend had the same situation and when she called T-mo support they said her account was not set up to receive MMS messages. I can't remember if she needed to subscribe to be able to download them to her phone. Like you said though, they were available on line on her account page - or, something like that.

I was curious about this upon seeing your message so I went to T-mo's website (did you?) and read the following:

"Why do I receive a link instead of the picture?

Before being able to receive a multimedia message, you must first send a picture message, which sets up your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the network for picture messaging. This is referred to as provisioning. Please send a picture message before attempting to receive a picture message. For more information, go to Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)."​

and this:

"Users must use an MMS capable device and be provisioned within the Multimedia Messaging System Center (MMSC) to send/originate MMS messages. Users become self provisioned when an MMS message is originated and sent from the user's terminal. By sending an MMS message, T-Mobile auto-provisions users for both mobile originating and mobile terminating MMS messages."​

I'd be interested to know if you send a MMS if you can then recieve them without adding any services to your account for extra $.

tried the above, still no joy. has anyone got a cab file to install t-mobile uk mms settings and necessary gprs etc settings?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
Have you searched the forums for it? You have to know you are not the very first person looking for it. I found this. It says it's for wm2003 & wm5 devices but I'd still give it a try. I've been using the same cab file for USA Cingular/AT&T since back to wm5 for sure and even probably 2003 on several different devices, except the latest ROM has a network wizard built right in so it wasn't necessary this go round. I'm pointing you to that particular page 'cuz they have the settings for several different countries and it's a nice bread crumb to leave behind for anyone else who searches for the T-mobile gprs settings cab. Hopefully it's a good link and the cab file works for you.

BTW, I found my way to that by searching the XDA forums for "t-mobile UK gprs cab" (without the quotes) and the second result had a link to a link to the page. That's just the route I took. There are a full 10 pages of results, I'm sure the cab you desire is in there somewhere if the link I gave you doesn't work out.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
From that search I did, the 9th result led to a "Call for Operator Settings for ALL NETWORKS" right here on XDA. Since you are looking for the MMS settings for T-mobile UK, you would be particularly interested in post 8 in that thread.

Hope one of the links gets you where you want to go.

Here's another sample video, of the same game, this time at medium settings. Along the very noticeable smoother gameplay you can also notice how the GPU load goes down from 95-100 to 70-80 and it becomes less of the bottleneck on the scenario. With the gaming profile could I could actually remove the 30 fps cap and run the game at +30.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stepnage:
Has or does anyone know how or a way to have a wireless Charging Accessory with an extended battery like the Zero Lemon 10,000mAh? I'm thinking about soldering longer wires.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Uncle Mark:
I have the TQTHL extended battery and I don't think so. Before I swapped out the original battery I looked at doing that too. It looked like the coil was under the wrap of the battery itself. I thought it too dangerous to cut it open.

My previous phone was a Galaxy III. It had the contacts but they never offered the option. I was able to buy the add-on on eBay and tack-solder some 30ga wire to the coil between the extended battery and it's replacement back. Worked well enough. Just had to be really careful when removing the cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stepnage:
I was hoping to just solder into the pads and just solder longer wires to the pins on the back of the phone. I'm just not sure by extending the wires will I actually get any charge or nothing at all because of the loss in power through the extended cable
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Uncle Mark:
The Galaxy III had springs contacts on the phone and little 1 mm^3 tabs on the coil/circuit board.

My Note 4 ( SM-N910T on T-Mobile in the US) has several groups of such spring contacts. I was looking for the receiver on eBay. Most seem to be for a different variant of the phone. If you can find the correct one for your phone, you should be able to extend wires to the receiver.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stepnage:
I found the receiver, I think they are all univeral between the note 4. It uses five pins. I'm just not great at soldering because of my eyes, and unsure if after I do this I will actually get chqrge, loss in the extended wires and the pins are so close I don't want to short anything out. I can't find a schematic or a pin out diagram.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Uncle Mark:
First step is to buy the pad and receiver and test with the original battery. On eBay in the US, the pair are around $15 USD.

If that works, then you're on to the customize task. I have an adjustable temperature "rework" soldering station. If you're not comfortable soldering, I have no advice.

Best of luck.

Wtf u wanna wirelessly charge a 10,000 battery?!?

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Oh also how did it go lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stepnage:
It's not that I want to charge a battery of this size wirelessly, I just wanted to add the functionality. I found the charging pad on eBay and just soldered some wires. It actually works surprisingly for my handiwork. Although it would take an entire week to charge...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Windroid-user:
Imagine waiting one week... Anyway can you post a picture because I know that there are pins in the back for wireless charging capability and you can buy a product to attach it to the pins and it should work. But with the extended battery (at least mine) not all the pins are exposed.

So I'm very interested in how it looks.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] TGUY25:
Sold my NEX S from China on ebay and got my hands on a Nex from India with the Global ROM. Happy to answer any questions people have about the global rom. I do have one question that someone might be able to help me with. I am trying to access the smart unlock settings so i can have i stay unlocked when i'm home. When i setup my car for Bluetooth, i got the page asking me if i want to setup smart unlock and did so but now that i want to go back and add a location I can't find it on any settings menu. YouTube and a few other searches had instructions on how to create a settings shortcut to get to the android security menu, but that doesn't work with the NEX. You can setup the shortcut, but it tries to open and immediately closes. I haven't found any way to get to the "Smart Unlock" menu - weird.

Other than that, the phone setup is pretty typical android with all the regular google stuff. You can create a vivo account with just an email verification (no china cell required) and even that's not required. Crazy that the settings section doesn't have a search bar - you have to poke around for everything. The other weird thing I've found so far is even though i selected google gboard as my primary keyboard, for some menus (mostly those related to settings or otherwise data entry points from the OS), it still brings up the default vivo menu (in English). more an annoyance than anything.

Want to make this my daily driver. The only real bummer so far is no NFC; relying on the Samsung pay capability of my gear S3 instead.

No issue changing the default launcher - switched to nova in a few seconds.

Mixed with Edge gestures and funtocuh OS gesture... it's wonderfull
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] ben cherian:
Thank you. That's been very kind of as many people like me are reluctant to try Vivo especially due to that os and spending 45k Rs is a but risky.

1. Launcher setting- So no problems at all setting nova launcher as default launcher so that you can press home key and go straight to nova launcher home page right ? Have you tried any other launcher like Microsoft launcher?

2. Software - So far how many software updates you got. Generally how is the Vivo os updates ? Am not expecting crazy fast updates like OnePlus but still how is it ? Is there any chance that we get core Android updates to Android Pie and Q especially as other companies guarantee ? What about app to app transition and software os lags present after 1 month of usage ? How is th Ui ? Is it irritating? I like rich os like emui or miui rather than stock os.

3. I have seen in Oppo that enabling developer section under settings for changing Ppi or animation speed causes a red or yellow strip to blink across the status bar. Have you checked that ?

4. Display- In specs page , it said Nex has 338 ppi. How is the display ? Not expecting Samsung quality but can we get near to OnePlus 6 display quality in terms of color accuracy and sharpness or clarity ?

5. Audio quality- Have you tried audio via headphone Jack ? Vivo Nex is only the true competitor against LG V and G series in terms of audio and this is the primary sole reason to buy Vivo Nex. How about the loud speaker output ?

6. Call quality and reception- which network you are using here in India ? Does Vivo Nex picks network range pretty well or is it shabby like LG ? Also since no ear piece speaker but peizoelectric vibrating display how is the call volume ? Is it muffled ? Can it be heard in noisy environment ?

7. How is the charging speed ?

Sorry to ask much but too much curious and anxious about Vivo Nex

My phone was previously rooted with magisk. I did a complete uninstall of magisk and then fully wiped my phone and installed the stock image. I've tried this multiple times now. After my phone gets set up, I try to download the OTA updates, and it will just say the update failed. Is there something else I am missing here? What is causing me to be unable to update?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
Back when the 8.1 update was offered OTA I had a similar problem. For whatever reason OPW28.1 (OPW28.46-13) failed every time. I had to wait for the flashable firmware to become available and then flash it. After that I took all OTAs just fine up to the current version (Jun 2018). If you are willing to wipe your phone you can try to flash the latest firmware instead of trying OTAs.

Latest one is OPW28.3 (OPW28.46-21) 8.1.0 w/ June 2018 security patch:

I had previously been flashing OPWS27.57-25-6-10 which is 8.0, and it would fail to update every time.

I decided to try a different stock image, and I found an 8.1 image linked from this thread.
