Ok thanks alot, by the way, please how do I know the CSC form my phone, presently it kinda in a boot loop due to the Odin fail, it's shows "kernel rev check fail device 3 binary 1"

Because I kind of see something like CSC in the Fridja app?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Device X Binary Y error means you are trying flash older firmware than what is on your phone.

You can't downgrade ( binary/bootloader ) versions.

Your CSC code will generally be the country/network of where you live and is represented as XXX

If going to use frija then enter model number ( eg: SM-G955F ) and csc XXX.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TecMan45:
Hi Friends:

I'm trying to enable the GPS for my SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800...let me give you the GPS-Settings

Start/Settings/System/External GPS

- Programs: COM4

- Hardware: (None) & 4800

- Access: Manage GPS automatically (recommended) option is checked

Start/Settings/Personal/Phone/Services/Location Setting is set to "ON"

I'm doing the following:

1. Make sure data connection is active and start QuickGPS. There's a time at the bottom that tells you how long the data is active for. I download the data over and over until it says 7 days at the bottom. Once it says 7 days I exit QuickGPS. I then go into task manager and make sure QuickGPS is stopped.

2. I open Holux GPS Viewer and make sure it's set to Com 4/4800 baud, and then open the gps. Immediately after opening I check the WAAS checkbox and immediately after checking the box, I click Cold Start. I then minimize GPS Viewer (I do not close it in task manager).

3. I open Google Maps and run it normally. For Google Maps I click Use GPS and I get Seeking GPS satellites (0)... with one point in the middle of the screen...for 15 or 30 minutes...and nothing change...the GPS isn't enabled

Can you help me?

Thanks

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thakidc:
Why are you using these gps launchers before google maps? Google maps always gets gps by itself on my phone... either way when you check use gps it should acquire. How long are you waiting? Where are you when doing this(inside/outside)? What rom are you running? I would soft reset then go to google maps and try without the launchers/primers. Besides that sounds like you should be good but i think some users reported bad chips in the handset, might be that.

Hi thakidc:

Thanks for your reply...let me give you my answers:

Why are you using these gps launchers before google maps?...Google Maps works great with my 3G-Internet connection and I read that QuickGPS & Holux GPS Viewer help to enable the GPS

How long are you waiting?...for 15 or 30 minutes...and nothing change...the GPS isn't enabled

Where are you when doing this(inside/outside)? inside in my office

What rom are you running? ROM version: dcd 3.0.1

Let me try "outside" and run Google Maps without launchers/primers

I had a quick question, I don't have a problem getting a signal outside. But I find in some vehicles that I get in no matter how long i leave GPS running it can't get a lock on any sattelites. Has anyone had this problem before?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thakidc:
That does sound wierd, r u in a armored truck or sumthin. If your moving try stopping, roll a window down or uh.. hold your phone out it. Good luck
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
No, we've found that not all Titans are equal and some, sadly, have rather poor satellite reception.

The GPS hardware discrepancies certainly do exist (a few members have tested identical software setups on multiple units at the same time and location) and it's just a luck of the draw as to what you have.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Al3xxxinho:
Hello,

After being the "proud" owner of a P20 Pro which is a demo unit, I have looked for ways to make it usable and as close as the retail variant.

Things to do:

On Phone:

- go to Settings -> Device administrators and disable the administrator for the Demo apps

On Computer:

- install ADB and connect your phone to computer

Run the following commands:

- pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.retaildemo

- pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.retail.assistant

This will stop the annoying video that is playing everytime you lock your device.

The Explore P20 PRO app can be disabled from the settings.

However, there are some other issues with the phone:

1. it charges till 75% then stops

The key to charge it to 100% is to let it charge to 75%, then, without unplugging the cable, restart the phone.

2. there is no lock screen and no posibility to add a fingerprint or a passcode

I installed a lockscreen from the PlayStore that got this issue fixed; still no fingerprint though ...

3. You will have a demo notification in the status bar

To remove this, install Quick Shortcut Maker from Playstore

Search for DEMO -> You will find SystemUI - Demo mode

Click on AppInfo then Notifications

Disable all of them

Go back and click on Force Stop ( you have to do this last part everytime you restart the phone if you want it to be hidden )

4. You get tons of appointments in the Calendar and numbers in the Contacts.

The solution is to delete all of them.

5. Apps do not have permision to access the mobile data, you receive a confirmation everytime and you have to click accept

The solution is to go to Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile data -> Networked apps, and select all the checkboxes for Installed apps and System apps tabs. ( this has to be done each time after you restart your phone )

This is everything I could think of now.

If some of you have other suggestions I can try, please feel free to let me know.

Right now, the phone is usable and works pretty well.

P.s: After restoring it to factory defaults, everything will be lost :)

Then you need for flash a normal OS.

No need to retain the demo software, if it is OS based.

Or you could maybe delete the demo content using root explorer.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] grootooter:
Hello,

I wanted to enable encryption of my device, in case it gets lost.

What I did: flashed Global Beta (8.9.7, but version shouldn't matter). In order to install twrp+magisk I had to flash the dm-verity module, which disables encryption. Bootloader stays unlocked because of.. you know, brick... (China device).

Now I wanted enable encryption, I charged battery to 100% and started device encryption from settings menue -> finished -> reboot -> ROM is destroyed. Some menu appeared telling me system is broken and I have to wipe/factory reset.

Any ideas how to enable device encryption together with TWRP and Magisk?

PS: xiaomi.eu ROM is not an option, I want to stay on global MIUI because it works fine for me - except the encryption.

Hello,

I am going to be buying a new phone soon in the budget price segment, and I refuse to buy any phone that I cannot unlock the bootloader of.

The only two brands that I know of that allow officially unlocking the bootloader of are Xiaomi, and One Plus. One Plus is not a budget price segment phone, so I have to ignore that.

Other than Xiaomi, what other phones/brands allow officially unlocking the bootloader, or have hacks to unlock the bootloader?

A list of phones in budget price segment that I could have a look at would really be helpful to me. Thank you.

hello everyone,

I rooted my phone using su but wanted Magisk so followed the general steps but ended up with Error-1 in twrp.

i then downloaded magisk manager and tried to install it through direct install,it ended up saying something related to boot.img.

I then thought maybe its because of su so i tried to full unroot it and then su app closed and nothing happened so i tried it 2-3 times more but same thing happened . I then deleted the root files of su from my device using Root explorer of ES file explorer .

then i downloaded boot.img for my device and flashed it using twrp. My phone then got stucked at bootloop(i.e.,shows only MI logo with UNLOCKED written in bottom when i turned on my DEVICE) then i thought maybe my rom is gone so i downloaded latest official rom fastboot flashable zip for my device and flashed it using twrp. It successfully flashed the zip file with 100% completion but when i clicked on reboot system option, my phone got dead. nothing is visible ,i can't see anything, nothing is getting started no fastboot nothing. When connected to pc, it shows a notification that usb device is not recognised. Also my developers options were closed so usb debugging is ultimately off. My bootloader was unlocked.

I know i messed it up a lot. :crying:
