[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
Unless you're still on the exploitable MDK bootloader, then you're stuck with Android 5.0 or 5.1 and no you cannot go back to MDK once you have updated. You will brick your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ford1234:
I wanna brick my phone,can you help me to make the Samsung galaxy s4 sch-i545 upgrade to android marshmallow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
Why do you want to brick your phone? Once it's bricked it will be unusable. What bootloader are you on? If you're on the MDK bootloader then yeah you can goto Android marshmallow. If you are not on the MDK bootloader then you can't goto marshmallow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ford1234:
Because I hate samsung,thats WHY!!!I dont care even i drop it on 100 floor the phone!!!Just wanna make this change!!Dont worry about my money,just help me,thats all bro.I dont know what bootloader is the phone.Any help step by step would help

Thank you for your worries about my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
To find your bootloader goto settings then tap about device. Scroll down a little and look for baseband version. It will have a number under it, look at the last 3 digits (mine says OF1, yours might say PL1). If it says anything other than MDK you cannot install TWRP recovery or any custom AOSP/CM ROM meaning you're stuck on lollipop and with custom touchwiz ROMs only like stang5litre ROM. You will have to use safe strap recovery for Android kit Kat and flash fire for lollipop.

I am willing to bet you are on lollipop as most people with this phone are. If you try to downgrade to the MDK bootloader from lollipop or kit kat, you will brick your phone and it will become a paper weight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ford1234:
Hmmmm?,thanks for everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ford1234:
Let say i try to make this change about my phone!What after?It means i stay with lollipop ???Is there any mastermind about Smartphones?!!!A mastermind who do everything just to brake this Samsung!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
If you're on lollipop now, you are stuck with lollipop as your bootloader is locked and won't allow you to install a custom recovery or ROM. If you just want to break your phone, smash it with a hammer or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You can install a custom ROM, but it has to be TouchWiz. The rest is correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
Oh right, forgot to add that. Use Flash fire 0.53 to boot custom touchwiz ROMs under lollipop.

Listen,i saw on internet something

All that program does is bypass the FRP on your phone. It doesn't unlock the bootloader from what I can see.

Hmmmm still nothing ,right?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Flawn:
Hello guys,

As you know Xiaomi released a few weeks ago the kernel source for mi 8. I decided to learn something new and came until the point where I got the Image, Image.gz-dtb, and Image.gz and a dts folder.

I really tried like Anykernel, Lazyflasher EVERYTHING but it just goes into fastboot after I start. I would really appreciate your help if someone could explain me how to flash and a little tutorial.

Thank you

I am on xiaomi.eu stable MIUI 10

What exactly are your step with anykernel?

Haven't you a "zimage" File?

I haven't compiled 64bit or Xiaomi kernel yet so I'm not sure what the step are: /
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Flawn:
No I don't have a zImage file. I attach an picture of my structure. (https://imgur.com/a/3QOaUa2)

I really dont know whats wrong, the only thing I edited is the kernel name in the Makefile...

My steps are basically just to copy the Image.gz-dtb and rename it to zImage, but this doesn't work and also ends in a bootloop. I dont think it's the problem with AnyKernel I think with the Kernel Source, because my stock kernel is like 44 mb and mine 34 mb (compressed)... Maybe it's with the dts folder??? I dont know

I attached also an log which was recorded during bootloop.

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] 3lambda:
Okay your boot image is "image" for sure

Can you send me your anykernel zip ?

Also never rename file in boot folder [emoji4]

And about different size it depends on toolchain used so it's normal

I manged to install the apps from the link with out ROOT, Bootloader Unlocked UNLOCKED or anything else, turn off WIFI and just execute, ignore Play Protect advise ( is because is not from Google Play ), choose to install any way!

They have Huawei signature.

Apps are Google Camera and Sony Music Player with Lyrics plugin, Youtube Plugin and equalizer.

Hi.

Why is the need to turn off Wi-Fi? Will not be able to install the application with the active Wi-Fi? I downloaded Google Camera. Play Protect suggested not to install the application. Nevertheless, I installed it. At present I have a middle of the night and so on quickly, the pictures work, I do not record movies. I have verified that from the level of the Google store the application is not available for my device [emoji848].

Hi!

I explained that in main post.

Play protect use WIFI to check and detect that apps are not from Google Play Store and block installation, and Google Camera or Sony music player cannot be installed trough Google Play Store that is why i wrote "ported apps"!

But installation works!

What phone do you have?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel_cassian:
Hey everyone, i have an issue with my new Note 9 and its Dex mode. I've contacted Samsung's reps but no responses after 1 week now.

My issue is: if i connect my Note 9 to Samsung's Dex Hub (1st Gen) OR a 3rd party usb c to hdmi adapter (the Meopolow one) i cannot use my Spen to control the cursor on the screen or write on the phone's display and see it on the TV.

I've seen now more than 5 YouTubers doing this on their Notes.

I even have a visual clue about this missing feature - after i connect my phone, in the notification area i get a different notification as opposed to what i saw on YouTube. I will provide 2 photos for you to see what is different. If anyone can help i would appreciate it, i really need to make this work.

PS: the screenshot with blue annotations is on my phone, the one with the green band is from YouTube. Look where it says "use your phone as a touch padView attachment 4597062View attachment 4597063
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Works on mine, but it still kinda sucks. It asked me to turn my phone sideways to use the S-Pen. The best way I've seen is to connect a Bluetooth mouse to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel_cassian:
I am switching to landscape and i tried with and without keyboards or mice. The thing is .. and you can check... You wont have that text in the notification area whether you keep your phone in portrait or landscape
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TechOut:
Have to rotate to landscape for the S Pen to work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rpsgrayfox:
Were you able to figure out what was wrong? I have the exact same issue you describe and nothing I've tried seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel_cassian:
Yes I did.

The issue is with the Samsung's Dex Station (1st generation, the one like a hockey puck). It will not work with it.

Samsung's techs argued this: "since 1st Generation Dex Station is intended to be used with the phone in portrait mode, and the use of Spen requires landscape... it will not work".

To which i replied: "But we do have the possibility to run in landscape, if we double tap de "icon" in the top right corner it switches to landscape... also this can be verified by pulling down the notification area, which now comes down from the power button and not from the sensors side; also i even switched to landscape the whole thing, dex and phone....still no go".

They replied back: "It doesnt matter that you switch to landscape, the function needs to work with a device that can have landscape capability, and Dex 1 doesnt". The tech guy who called me, while on the phone, tested 2 Dexes himself and confirmed it will not work... its not just a tale"

I was about to accept this, but i told him I have a 3rd party usbc to hdmi (Meolopow) and it doesnt work with it either. He said, unfortunately its not Samsung, so from out point of view the reasons can be different, we cannot offer support for this.

So, i went and bought myself a Samsung adaptor (1x usb 3.0, 1x Gigabit Ethernet, 1x Hdmi, 1x UsbC) usb to hdmi.... and it works. So...it does seem that they are right. All those who bought themselves 3rd party adaptors... and have this thing work... they should consider themselves lucky... it seems its not guaranteed.

I chose the adaptor instead of the Samsung Dex Pad (2nd generation) as it is smaller and more versatile. On top of that... it doesnt require power to work... works fine without charger...and... i dont have to remove the flipcase or bumper.

Textra is waking up my screen when do not disturb is enabled. It's doing it on both my n9 as well as my wife's n9. It did NOT do this on my s8+ nor my wife's s7 edge. Any idea how to stop this? It woke me up twice last night. It doesn't play sound just turns on the screen.

Do not disturb settings messages set to none.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willcor:
Have you enable this setting in Textra ?

In Textra settings/Customize Notifications/Notification Style /Wake up Screen .....Always ...yes ,no....... ?

I leave my phone not to wake up screen, whether sound enabled or silence etc .

It just plays a notification sound .

Thats good enough for me !

Works fine .Does not light screen up .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
I have it set to yes except for silent. I want it to turn on the screen throughout the day but not at night. That's the whole point of do not disturb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willcor:
Yes, i understand.

On my old Note 8 i had this similar issue. re screen waking up .

Anyway

I just tried "do not disturb" /volume mute etc.

on my Note 9 SM-N960F and i use Textra default sms.

My device does not wake up.! /light screen.

Only blue notifications light starts flashing.

This is my "do not disturb" settings and Textra

settings.

See screenshots

If your settings are similar as mine and your

Note 9 model number similar ?

It should work as set by you?

Only difference, i noted i have set Textra to never wake,

where you have it Yes except for silent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
Does your screen wake up when do not disturb is turned off? I want it to wake when dnd is off but not wake when it's on.

My s8+ worked perfectly with textra.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willcor:
Yes, if i turn setting in Textra to "Yes except when on silent", screen turns on, when do not disturb is off.

Just tested it now, waking up when do not disturb is off .

However,

i choose not to light screen up at all and rely on sound., thus Textra setting is set to no. Thus I don't have this issue.

Further,

I set Textra to your settings.

"Do not disturb" and Textra to" Yes except when on silent"and my results is the same as yours.

Screen lights up in Do not disturb mode.

My opinion is that it is a Textra issue, not phone.!

As you using 3rd party messages app

Not the stock messages system app.

I would contact dev of Textra and explain

conflict that Textra somehow does not

read/interpret Do not disturb (phone) as silent in Textra

(on the Note 9) .

I'm sure the dev can test this "compatibility reading " issue, somehow ?

Good luck

My phone is currently locked to Xfinity, but I plan to unlock it soon through carrier provided unlock code.

I need to know if the Xfinity s9 will work with ATT/cricket after unlocking it through the carrier (Comcast Xfinity mobile).

I am concerned about the enabled bands, etc. I tried the menu code, *#2263# but nothing shows up.

If you have actually tried it, please let me know if you had to do any flashing to get all the bands unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] obliviousmnd:
Once unlocked it will literally work on ANY carrier in the world provided your IMEI is clean (for USA/Canada).

ALL GSM carriers will work on your phone by default after the unlock. If you want to work on CDMA (such as Verizon) you need to flash the U1 firmware corresponding to your build number.

Oh and Sprint/Boost will probably never accept that phone because their business policy seems to be to spit in new customer faces, tell them their phone wont work, then try to sell them the literal exact same phone but locked to Sprint/Boost. Seriously, they're just the worst with their imei approved whitelist.

Verizon probably won't activate it either, but the secret with them is to just pop an already activated SIM into a phone running U1 and it will pick up signal and work fine.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
If your using los15.1 then you already have mm bootloader and modem as it doesn't work with lp.

There are only 2 bootloaders for j5 2015 lp and mm. Even if the ROM is nougat or Oreo you will still have either lp or mm bootloader.

If you want to change bootloader the only way is from my last post.

You can only change it using Odin on the computer.

But right now you definitely have mm bootloader installed
