[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikon5400:
Update if anyone cares - My sprint Moto z2 force works on T-Mobile network, but... after towers were upgraded to 5G it stopped working some places while my unlocked 4g and Samsung T-Mobile 5g LTE work just fine there. I know of 3 such places, where it'll have 0 bars in about 150-200 ft radius.,

when I contacted T-Mobile they promised to look into it and get back to me but never did. This phone (IMEI) is not in their database, so I guess they didn't even bother looking into this issue. Then I spoke to rep on twitter and she said Moto z2 Force has issues with some of their towers. I don't know if that means even T-Mobile version has issues or she just pulled it out of her a..

Otherwise the phone works fine, still about 70% of battery left, but I can't afford having flat tire in no signal zone.

Thanks!

L80+ Bello D331 (android ver. 4.4.2) stuck on "Just a sec..." loading screen

Hello, I'm new to the community! :good:

I like to mess around with my old phones and LG Bello wasn't an exception. In this case what I did was root it using KingRoot, only to years later remove KingRoot (therefore root) from the phone. Afterwards I did a factory reset and now I'm stuck with the problem stated in the title-- after setting up my Google account the "Just a sec..." screen will pop up and it'll stay that way. I can go back to the previous settings before the "Just a sec..." screen but that's about it, it still won't let me access the phone's actual content.

I've done factory resets with this phone several times without any issues and I'm really confused on what the problem here is, but I'm assuming it's something to do with root being removed. I would try using PC to reinstall the corresponding ROM but there's another issue which is entirely my fault: the phone's volume buttons won't function anymore because I dropped it forever ago, therefore there is no way for me to access recovery mode (which normally would be accessed via pressing down the power button + the volume down button).

Pretty much what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage the phone at this point. If there isn't I don't really mind as, again, this is an old phone I didn't really use for much. But it'd still suck if there is absolutely no way for me to get it fixed.

Thank you in advance! :cowboy:​
[LG L Bello Questions & Answers] Logilype:
.

I've got solutions for you:

1) You could replace the power, volume up down buttons by ordering a replacement part online (ebay, i'm not sure if amazon is selling it, ifixit etc.)

2) You can continue without the Google acc and then go to Chrome without logging in and install the KingRoot APK.

Hi,

The link "Click here to register for Wi-Fi Calling or to update your existing emergency Address" is not clickable on the Settings > Wi-Fi Calling of my phone.

I flashed the CSC to my carrier (VTR ; videotron), when I enable Wi-Fi calling, it's kinda do a loop during connection but I am not registered with my carrier.

Any idea ? Could it be a cache issue ? Dalvik or something like that ?

Thanks.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] thomasxd24:
I have a pretty long history with my bricked honor 8....

I have a FRD-AL00, and i rebranded i to FRD-L09, and when i wanted to install custom ROM, the phone got bricked and it shows black screen, not sign of life, only at fastboot devices

So i bough DC phoneix and i flashed the L09 version.... It flashed but it got stuck at VERLIST, that means i have to change the vendor/model to L09 etc at HCU.

So i did a board flash software at phoneix and i was able to boot at board software OS, but i can't do anything, so i changed the vendor/model to L09 at HCU at that time.

And i continued flashing the L09 version, this time it got passed at VERLIST but after the installation it got stuck at a bootloop.

Pretty complicated but yea, anything i should do?

Should i do everything in AL00?

Thank in advance!

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] omer919:
I hate to say it but unfortunatley the only thing you can do is contact xiaomi official support (for example a Mi Store in your country) or somehow get authorized.

No other way around :(

A month ago xiaomi had that thread of everyone asking for authorizing and they closed it and authorized everyone who asked for it.

Good Luck!

So, by using the testpoint method you managed to unbrick your device without an authorized account?

Next time put your rom in a path without spaces, i'm talking about the "Mi Max3" folder, i have seen many cases of unsuccessful flash attempts because the rom was on path with a space or non english characters.

My case was slightly different to others. I managed to kill mine totally, wasnt even powering on or at least didn't display anything on the screen.

So I thought I won't loose anything if I try all I posted. I bought a poco f1 as a replacement already cause I thought this is dead..

I didn't authorise anything just done all the stepps I posted and managedvto revive the device.

I'm on miui10 eu, does anyone know if I could flash the global without bricking again?

Just don't want to do it all ovet again. Taking the device apart was a nightmare. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who hasn't done anything like this before.

Sorry I don't quite understand this "Next time put your rom in a path without spaces", can you explain please?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] panospc:
In the screenshot of MiFlash you posted, the rom path is on "D:\Download\Android\Mi Max3\..."

The "Mi Max3" folder name has a space.

I have seen many cases of unsuccesful flash attempts because of this.

So, next time rename the "Mi Max3" folder to "MiMax3" and make sure none of the other sub-folders have a name with a space.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] slayer214:
So Samsung released stupid colors in the USA. I want to get a black Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N9600 Dual SIM to use on At&t since it is unlocked and a Snapdragon.

Will Samsung pay work in the USA on this model?

If not, is it possible to flash US unlocked firmware to get the Samsung pay feature?

I am not looking to root or unlock the bootloader, just want a full feature version in a non stupid/black color.

Same situation, waiting for anyone to help??

Did you figure it out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
I can help here... First off you are better off getting the dual SIM model N960F/DS. That model more closely resembles the US model (I have the Note 8 N950F/DS) and it works fine in the US. It has Samsung Pay BUT you need to find a version where Samsung Pay exists in the country it was designed for and where your credit cards work on Samsung pay IN THAT COUNTRY. For example I have a UAE model where they have Samsung Pay. It works fine for my Citi card, but not my amex card that worked on my ATT model.

The model above is available in black. Find it on eBay. They are generally cheaper than the US versions.

I have had no issues whatsoever using this version in the US .

I'm waiting for my n960f/DS to arrive. In blue!!

SM-N9600 Chinese Version?

I live in Toronto, Canada and I recently bought a Note 9 off someone in a private sale. It's the SM-N9600 model. I noticed that it has a lot of Chinese writing on the software during initial setup, and was different than the setup I'm used to (it didn't take me through Google account setup and also had a bunch of weird Chinese app stuff for something called Baidu, etc). In fact, it didn't even have the Play Store! I had to side load the Play Store APK then download all my apps and set my phone up that way. The Samsung Members app is still all in Chinese. Is this normal? And is there a way that I can reset the device or flash a Firmware (even if it's a factory reset where I lose my data and have to set up again) to have normal operation (i.e. Google being part of the initial setup from the beginning without having to side-load anything and to get rid of all the Chinese apps)? Any help would be extremely appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sprov:
Are you sure it is a legit Note 9? You shouldn't have any of these problems, also SM-N9600 is the international version so is not chinese at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ZYak:
I wondered about that but literally everything else works and functions exactly as it should. The s pen works perfectly and with the apps that it should work with, I've downloaded the Galaxy theme store and use the Pixelized theme, I've logged in to my Samsung account, etc. Even bixby works like normal! Though I'm not sure I'm so happy about that one lol. Any suggestions that you could provide? ATM it's functioning fine and I've gone through a few workarounds to get it working like I need it to, but this is extremely frustrating. Also, when I go to settings, general management, contact us, it's Chinese options. Also in connections, data usage, more settings, service provider settings, "region"has only Chinese sities and

"Service provider" has China mobile and a few others (though I'm using it fine with Bell)

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

Would taking it into a Samsung store help? Do you think they'd flash a legit Firmware on there, and if so would they charge to do so?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sprov:
First of all if you don't have the receipt they won't take your phone.

Second: do you have the phone box? I have an hard time believing it's an original Note 9, I don't know how much a clone can be similar but: samsung themes should have been already installed, translations are full in all the settings, doesn't matter which firmware it has.

Also the lack of play store and the fact that you weren't ask to register your device at first boot is really really really strange. In the best case you have a weird firmware, which already is sign of a potential scam and anything could be loaded on that phone. Ih the worst scenario that is not a Note 9. Unfortunately, i would go with the latter considering what you wrote.

question about note 9 dual sim unlocked

Hi everyone

I would like to buy a model samsung note 9 sm-9600 or note 9 sm-960FD (Dual sim both versions). Please tell me which one is better choice for T-mobile in USA?

I also wanted to buy the Huawei Mate 20 pro, but it was bad news with defective screens. (The mate 20 pro also does not have the band B66)

is anyone able to confirm that note 9 (the above models) has a B66 frequency bands?

What gives exactly band B66 in T-mobile in usa for normal user? is this frequency important?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
The midnight black version of the Note 9 is available directly from Samsung's US site. I have just checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
At least in my area,Band 66 is significant on T-Mobile US:

Both phones I have (OnePlus 6T & Note9,both the T-Mobile specific versions) pick up Band 66 where Band 4 is/was present,so,it's seemingly an improvement vs Band 4 only.

As to if you'll get the same signal strength/download-upload speeds on the International versions (Snapdragon or Exynos) I can't say,since I don't have either for comparison.

Can someone who built the US flash over the international help us Canadians do the same. Christ I'd pay 100$ for the first person to successfully do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sefrcoko:
Based on what I've read those features won't work on Rogers because they require your phone to be whitelisted on their side, which they won't do it unless you bought it directly from them.

You can't Odin flash Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos device, or vice versa. As far as I know the same goes for flashing U.S. firmware on N9600, even though both have Snapdragon. If others said they could, then they must have been mistaken or maybe just expressed themselves incorrectly. You would need to root and flash a csc-changer (or flash a custom rom that includes a csc-changer) to get the csc you want in this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Lala&Peril:
Hey thanks for answering. Yeah I guess I got excited even though the post had bad grammar (usually means he got mixed up or something lol) And realistically I think I'm just going to have to buy it and experiment to see where it leads me. It's kind of crappy of me to rely on people with a lot more money to test it out, so maybe I'll take a bit of a risk this time.

On a side note, would you happen to know if at the very least, I can use magisk and still pass safety net? I can't find any answers on that. I'll still buy it next week, maybe things will get better over time.
