[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPowerOne:
Hi I have bought a stock nvidia shield tablet 7.0 Nougat updated to last 5.4 version that nvidia rolled out. The device is 100% stock now no root access.

I wanted to ask what is the best setup (root, overclock, rom ecc..) for gaming cause I want to squeeze out all the performance it could handle and have some fun tweaking the device.

I was away from android for years now so go easy on me! Where should I start?

EDIT I managed to get root permission easily, how can I do to to improve performance of the device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mohamed.attia:
Hello,

I unexpectedly had to do a factory reset on my S7 while the SD card was encrypted, as result the SD was not obviously readable afterward.

I saved part of the encrypted content of the SD card (basically the pictures) before formatting it and starting using it again, however I'm not able to recover this content.

I tried with the procedure I found on internet:

- saving the encrypted data

- format the SD card

- encrypt of it

- copy of the saved content back to the SD

- decrypt

However, at the decrypt state the phone don't move from an 'Analyzing SD card' phase.

Any idea? I'm afraid I should have saved all the content of the SD card...

Thank you

PLEASE HELP Note8 hang the logo

The problem is as follows:

When I make a software update for the SM-950f / DS, the phone hangs on the samsung logo

I searched and flashed again with Odin but the result was an error

At startup the error message: kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1

I flash twrp-3.1.1-0-greatlte_V3 the error: flash fail

Flashing TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-greatlte-2018-08-21_17-30 similar results

Now I do not know how to start
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
I think you use the wrong Odin Version. You need Odin v3.13.1.

You used twrp already before your Software Update? Or why you want to flash TWRP?

Normally it's enough to flash a 4 part stock firmware to get your device working again. Use the "home CSC" file to don't lose your own files.

Edit:

on your first try it looks like you tried to flash an older firmware version. You can't downgrade the bootloader. Flash the same or a newer firmware.

Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
For the TWRP error, are you wiping data (where you have to type yes) first? If you do not do that TWRP won't work. There is also newer versions of TWRP available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] m4gicvn:
Previously my phone was not rooted or installed TWRP, everything original.

The phone announces a new software update, I make updates and the result is a phone hang on the samsung logo

I downloaded a stock rom, I made Flash with Odin 3.13.1 but the result was a bug, now I do not have a Bootloader. I found out that I was flashing an old version.

So I need Flash recovery, I was trying to find a new version but as a result I could not successfully flash.

I have been trying to find a newer Fimware (such as Android 8) but now I'm still not successful
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bluecub1st:
What do you mean you cannot flash and you don't have a bootloader?

"kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1" means your device is binary 2 and you're trying to flash binary 1 onto your device.

e.g the latest version firmware for note 8 is N950FXXU4CRGA - U4 shows this firmware is binary 4. On the bootloader - SWREV B:1 - this should show if your device is binary 1.

You will need to first oem unlock the device to flash TWRP/custom img. Warning- flashing TWRP will result in KNOX 1.

Note - bootloader should still be there (you might just have drained all your battery) unless the flash failed during flashing bootloader (bootloader is download mode).

Download firmware here (same firmware for n950fd and n950f) - use samfirm program for faster download (only latest ver).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] m4gicvn:
Very thank you

I downloaded the android version 8, I successfully flashed. But this time it was like the beginning. the phone is moving, into the upgrade and error, android child back

Then the phone automatically enters recovery mode

I implemented the wipe cache and wipe data but could not change the result
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] m4gicvn:
How to oem unlock the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bluecub1st:
To oem unlock (like all the new samsung devices) you must enable it in the developer options in settings.

As your phone would not boot oem unlock is not available. you must first ensure the phone can boot to stock firmware

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ranasrule:
from a mobile shop....the phone is working fine. I'm in Pakistan by the way and all the Pixel phones come here from the USA or UK
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
If it were stolen and "blacklisted", I doubt the device would be working fine.

Unless "blacklisted" is only effective for use in the USA, as Google suggests.

Google:

Blacklisted phones can’t be used in the United States, but some companies can unlock them for international use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I would return to the shop and show them what you've discovered.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ranasrule:

is there any way to tell if this phone was bought directly from google or via a carrier? In the USA or somewhere else?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
That's too bad. I guess you have no other recourse.

I would contact Google, giving them the IMEI and serial number and ask what info they can provide.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ranasrule:
couldn't they then remotely disable my phone somehow?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] asif4self:
Mine is a Verizon phone purchased form UAE, it also shows blacklisted but it works just fine. I receive monthly updates without any problem, even adb sideloaded android pie full OTA when it got released. Main issue with mine is that I cannot unlock its bootloader so obviously can't root it but i believe you can unlock yours and root it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Oh! I didn't think of that!

That is something to consider.

I guess I'm out of suggestions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ranasrule:
Thats good to hear...thanks for the info .....Mundia Silakotia :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
If it's working and it says it's blacklisted, it's probably a U.S. only thing as Google suggests.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Clearly someone managed to get Google financing and stopped making payments. So no, you didn't buy a stolen phone. Anyway, the blacklist carriers use here in the United States is only effective if the phone itself is in the US. In your case, where you are in Pakistan, the device will work normally even though it's blacklisted.

For a period of time there was talk of every carrier worldwide using the same blacklist, which would really ruin your day. As of now, obviously nothing has come of it.

Hello,

I want to know if there is a Pie stock Rom for redmi note 5 pro which support substratum existing ?
[Android General] rhudsonsamuel:
Hi, guys

Here I have given you a very short tutorial to install substratum in our tenor g phones...

I have installed and using a pitch black theme...

We need to have two apps

(1) Andromeda - Rs.130

and

(2) Substratum theme engine from play store

You don't need root permission to install it..

But we too don't have any way to root our phone because development lacks

But we can use substratum with the help of Andromeda on our phones

First of all Download the substratum theme engine from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum&hl=en_IN

Then open it and it will guide you to install the addon to use substratum on our phone

Then pay and install it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda&hl=en_IN

Now

Follow the tutorials from this page https://xdaforums.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682

My (factory standard, unmollested) GS3 failed, stuck at the Samsung booting screen.

I downloaded the stock ROM (I think) and tried to flash it with ODIN.

It failed and now will only enter download mode.

Tried to flash non-touch CWM with ODIN but that fails too, saying PIT not found.

Can it be saved?

My s7 firmware.

I personally installed the G930UUEU4APL2_G930UOYM4APL2_VZW rom with odin. After that I OTA updated to G930UUEU4BQE2. I stopped there and rooted the phone. I did a few other things before I OTA update but that setup works really, really good for what I use it for. Couldn't get anything else to do what I needed it to. That seemed to be the only setup that didn't choke on the nulled MAC address that is set for the USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Oreo works fine but generally people have issues when they install the OTA after already using the previous build for some time.

So if you want Oreo the best approach would be a clean Odin flash wiping data to make sure you're starting fresh.

Is it a G930F? If so you can roll back to an older Android version if its not to your liking, without root/custom.

Starting a thread to see what kind of kooky and cool ideas peeps have come up with for their setup.

I just bought another Logitech MX570 trackball mouse. My 3rd. I like to go back and forth between traditional mice (MX Performance) and trackball so I don't get carpal tunnel and tendonitis. I'm up in the air about the dedicated keyboard. I will probably get the Logitech K800 as that has been my favorite so far. I would like to try the Craft but too expensive.

I know many of you are just going straight usb-c to HDMI adapter and using Bluetooth accessories. Those are welcome too. It would be really nice if Logitech came out with a sweet sweet keyboard with touchpad built in. There are a couple but the cheap one is just that, cheap and low quality. I bought my mom the K400 and it works fine for her but not for me. Logitech needs to step up their game on a keyboard with touchpad built in.

I am also using Logitech because of the unifying receiver so only USB port is taken for 2 accessories. Have not decided on a USB thumb drive yet.

What setups are you running for productivity with DEX? Please share so there is a thread peeps (that actually use the search function) can come and see what options there are to fit their workflow. Or haven't thought of.

I will update later today see if my USB controllers work for emulators and what the latency is, which I am hoping is just as good as mouse input. I was expecting critical latency that would make the experience bad.

Anybody try with a USB powered monitor yet?

I invested in this dex stuff just as a hobby. I already have 4 pc’s plus a laptop and an iPad Pro 12.9 i carry with me daily.

I passed on it with the note 8 but thought to give it a go the note 9.

I also use the mxperformance mouse for my pcs but i picked up a jelly comb foldable portable wireless keyboard. It has a click-style mouse pad and the keypad is pleasant to use. I also picked up the dex pad , hdmi 2.0b latest spec hdmi cable.

I guess a good way to use this setup will be when I download films to the device. Rather than copy the file over to the pc, i can just connect the dex to the display and have better flexibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] joebongo:
I found the jelly comb folding keyboard to be crap. Double characters everywhere. Moved to a generic wireless mouse on one of the USB ports and an MS folding BT keyboard. It's replaced my work laptop for 80% of tasks. Oh and powering the HDMI adapter by a Nintendo switch USB C power supply as it kicks out 2.6A which is enough to charge the phone at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
I probably won't post a pic (if I even remember) until Friday or Saturday. I think I will try using it one day and a USB 3 thumb drive. I think DEX only supports USB 2 though. Another missed opportunity by Samsung to make this an even better pseudo desktop experience. Did Sammy use 3 or 3.1 for their USB C? Having two or even one USB 3 A port would've been sweet for local storage. Between a Logitech unifying receiver and a SanDisk UltraFit USB 3 drive and you're talking one smaller desktop.

Samsung could make some corny commercials pitting it against Intel NUC boxes like their Apple commercials. ???
