[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] bojanoo7:
I bought it in local shop... How they get it, I don't know...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] fkofilee:
Download FW from SAMFIRM for the device - Flash with ODIN for the device with your countries FW

See if that will allow it around...

Just a thing as well - Some stores here in the UK will sell Demo units as stock if the customer asks if end of line etc
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The Tab S4 has just been released. How is that end of line? :rolleyes:

For what reason would a store sell a demo model when stock is still available?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] fkofilee:
First off - Great to see you here - Noticed you had created a Tab S4 TWRP :)

Second - I agree with you. But if you are over here in the UK - CPW and O2 barely have any stock of these... Ive seen a couple of stores sell demo units in some capacities. Back in 2012 - When Comet went under - They were selling Demo units real cheap for IPADs etc because of administration.

If the user has picked up a demo unit lawfully (Notice how i say that ;) ) Then it could be that a store was going to stock the device but due to delays in procuring etc (CPW had issues and pushed back release from Samsung by WEEKS!) they no longer plan to stock it.

Either way there are numerous reasons why they have a demo unit. Some legal some not so much... But either way while we dont know the full circumstances... We can assist if need be.

If the OP has stolen / obtained unlawfully then there is very little that can be done apart from to block the IMEI.

I wonder if the OP would like to tell us how he acquired said device,...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
See that's the issue. These devices are not supposed to be released to the public, but destroyed.

I agree there are instances where demo devices end up in public hands, but not usually brand new recently released devices.

FRP is meant to protect unlawfully 'acquired' devices from being accessed and we get a lot of posts regarding that also.

I'd gladly assist anyone with a legitimate issue, but I feel uneasy with this sort of thing without actual proof of 'aquirement' especially considering posts related to unlawful practices are not allowed on XDA.

I'm not pointing fingers here, just voicing concern.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] fkofilee:
Thats very true with FRP. What should also be kept in mind here.

Samsung's retail mode is very different to the Retail Mode built into Developers Options.

Thing is - If the user does as my advice. Very quickly we will know if there is an issue with the device. It will ask for the original Google Account Assigned to the device ^_^

Lets see what happens :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] bojanoo7:
I removed retail software and flash new one and everything is working fine now... It was also some issues with charging but now everything is great. Like this forum!

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the guy sold me and I don't have idea how he got it... In my country there is no possibility to get it so soon after official release.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] droiddud:
Can you share solution please

When I try to flash it says no flash interface found

I'd love to get a copy of the DeX switcher app that's included with the real Retail Mode.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] maxlieb:
Hi all,

I have tired using an app like Aycon

and a dozen similar apps to create a shortcut with a custom icon to start an action (Automate flow, similar to tasker...)

anyway this has worked wonderfully in the past but with poco launcher it says it added a shortcut to home screen but it does not appear...

a workaround for now is I use KWGT custom 1x1 Widget...

but it does not have a text under it like a shortcut + you can't put it in a folder.

anyone else experienced this bug?

other workarounds? (except switching launchers...)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] karpacha:
I suggest reporting this bug via Settings-User feedback.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ConradB:
Take a look at KWLP in Playstore
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] maxlieb:
Did it, but hope MIUI 10 will be sooner and won't have the issue...

As I said I used KWGT to make a 1x1 widget, I can live without text.

My real problem is customizing a shortcut which I will push into a folder afterwards...

Live wallpaper holding the shortcut doesn't help here.

Right now I'm stuck with Automate's default ugly Icon because... it does let me create shortcuts and it works... but no way to tweak the icon =\
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Abbey Bhatt:
can anyone provide steps to root and unable camera 2 api after latest update.

i am on September update version with stock rom.

look forward for best support.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Mr.Nice.ba:
Same as on any stock version of ROM.

First of all unlock your bootloader if you have not unlocked it already.

Download and extract stock ROM from en.miui.com for A2 (September build), after unpacking, enter folder "Images" and copy boot.img to your phone's internal storage.

Download and Install Magisk Manager application

In Magisk click install and select patch boot image. Navigate to your internal memory and select boot.img you have copied to your phone.

Magisk will create new patched_boot.img file on your phone, usually in the same place as your original image.

Copy patched_boot.img to your PC.

Use adb platform tools, enter fastboot and flash patched_boot.img to your phone:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

fastboot reboot

After booting, use build.prop editor or any file explorer to navigate to system\build.prop

add line to build.prop : persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1

Save and reboot. Install Google Camera port app and enjoy :D
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Abbey Bhatt:
thanks for the elaborated process.

but after flashing of the patched image, would i

able to get future updates.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Abbey Bhatt:
thanks,

my sole intend is to run gcam nothing else. thanks for your reply. wouldn't mind if you share exact instructions to follow
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ki69:
I think not. Thats why i has trying to enable camera2api witha workin TWRP for setember update. If i flash a patch boot i will lose OTA, and if i reflash with original boot i will loose Camera2api, thats why i has searching for an fix for this:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
Just flash stock boot again and ota works fine. Afterwards update, flash new patched boot, profit

Do not enable EIS like this, camera will have a problem with recording videos, and it will not work like it should. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Really? First I've heard that. Do you have any more specific info on this? examples of it not working and how it should?

If that won't work, is there another way to enable it that will?

thnx
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] minnuss:
For me it did not work, the stock camera would start recording after 5 times of pressing record circle, and gcam ports would crash after switching to video recording.

So I did a reverse command setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 0, and everything get back to normal. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I also can verify that enabling it like that works. With my A2 and a GCam port, Snap Cam, and OEM app all work exactly as they should. That includes the OEM app video recording in 4K WITHOUT EIS, even though it's checked, and the Snap Cam working in 4k Vid with EIS working - as it should.

I don't think your problem was the Eis enable command.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] hackerh2:
Someone plss create a thread for rooting mi a2 on September update..... Or plss share the link to download September patch image file to root..

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SnipeySnake:
So I want to access the root files under /data/data/~ and modify the files to my liking (delete/rename/etc), is that possible? I've tried a number of file explorers and they don't even let me view the files that are in it, let alone modify them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DiMilo:
As far as I know you cannot access root files and/or modify them without rooting your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SnipeySnake:
Even having a KNOX license won't work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DiMilo:
I don't really know about Knox licence but my guess is that since file management and access isn't just Knox's matter in the first place but rather the whole android's system matter you won't be able to access sensitive files even if you have that license.

But anyway that is just my guess. ;)

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Kaminiak92:
I really badly need a rooted device for my work (I'm a mobile developer).

Is this possible to unlock bootloader on a Linux? All applications like DC Unlocker are for Windows. Is there any online generator for Huawei unlock codes? Or some script? Or maybe can I get this code via some support channel?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jan Philipp:
Sadly, there's no other method than DC Unlocker. If you don't want to install windows go to a friend with Windows or try Wine. It's Windows-compatible runtime environment to run EXEs on Linux.

Hi,

you can do it by using a virtual machine on linux:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Alexthekiller1993:
Hello :)

I bought the Mi8 from China this summer and I decided to unlock it so I can try a few roms ( Xiaomi eu , Pixel 2 Port , Lineage etc. ).

The phone came with Global ROM and unlocked via the unofficial method . My friends advised me to install China Developer MIUI 10 8.8.31 then lock the bootloader and unlock it via the official method and I am waiting 720 hours . In about 10 days the unlock procedure will be finished .

So can you explain which roms can I install ? I will install for now the Global Stable 10.0.2 but I am not the biggest fan of MIUI so I will want to install the Pixel ROM for example in the near future but it's on Android 9.0 . Will I be able to return to MIUI 10 Global Stable with Android 8.1 from any Android Pie ROM or Xiaomi eu ROM ?

Thanks a lot !
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
Hi, what procedure did you follow to relock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Alexthekiller1993:
I downloaded China Developer 8.8.31 Fastboot ROM and I flashed it via MiFlash and chose "Clean all and lock" .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
Hello,

I flashed 8.8.31 china developer on my Mi8 with relock bootloader and I ended up with endless flashing. I think I bricked my device. The phone booted to Mi Recovery in chinese. Anyone help please
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] t0mas_:
can anyone explain why should you lock and unlock with official method? I find this advice in several places, but noone was able to explain why.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Alexthekiller1993:
If you have unlocked Mi8 it means the seller unlock it unofficial by using EDL method . So that means you can brick your device very easily . If you bought it from China you need to install China Stable/Developer and lock it . Then unlock officially with your account then the phone will be less likely to brick if you know what you are doing .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] t0mas_:
thanks. do you have more info why and how it will brick more easily? not that i dont belive you, im just trying to learn as much as possible.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

im sorry i cant provide help, but could you please tell the rest of us what exactly did you do so we dont brick ours? im sorry if it sound selfish, but im kinda in the same boat and in my country there is no xiaomi store/repair shop

Edit: i suppose you tried booting to fastboot and flash again?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
I was on MIUI Global 10.0.2.0. I rebooted into fastboot and flashed 8.8.31 fastboot china developer rom with MiFlash and "clean all and lock". The phone booted into chinese Mi Recovery without MiFlash finishing procedure. I couldn't use MiFlash again because the bootloader was locked. I tried Mi PC Suite in chinese and tried to recover my phone but it didn't work. I think maybe ARB bricked my phone. I don't know for sure. I had checked arb before with getvar and the result was "FAILED" so I was confident ARB was not present on my phone. When the phone booted in Mi Recovery in chinese... there was no text saying "This MIUI version can not be installed on this device". So I had not installed a global rom by mistake on my Mi8 china device. I don't know for sure what went wrong. Anyway, I unbricked my phone with an edl authorised account I bought at S-unlock and now I'm on china stable rom 10.0.5.0 and I am waiting 15 days to unlock my bootloader. If anybody might have an idea what might have gone wrong please share your opinion. Could it be the USB drivers on Windows 10??? I don't know.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] t0mas_:
how did you flash 10.0.2.0 global? via zip or fastboot? im glad to hear you recovered your phone. if i understand correnctly you steel needed to connect testpoint to get to edl mode?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
I flashed with MiFlash in fastboot.

Yes. I opened phone's back cover and connected testPoint to enter edl mode
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] t0mas_:
damn, i really have no idea what went wrong. you pretty much did everything by the book and this shouldnt happen. do you remember if you ran getvar anti before or after flashing global?

im asking because as far as i know, official xiomi software should return anti 1 from day to present day. variable unknown suggest reseller tempered with bootloader (to unlock?). but when you fastboot flashed official global it should rewrite everything including bootloader so after it should return 1. i could be wrong on this because im still looking for any real info on this topic. but if you open any fastboot rom tgz and look into flash_all.bat, there is a line thar sets anti to 1. so it should be there from day 1. thanks again for you feedback, lots of people are flashing back to china and locking because other people say it is a good thing to do. your case proves it might not be such a good idea.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
I ran getvar when I was on the global rom 10.0.2.0. I never got the chance to install TWRP or any rom on my Mi8 because I wanted to link my account to the bootloader first. When I opened the phone from the box It was on MIUI 9.6 and I updated to MIUI 10.0.2.0 via OTA and while I was using this version I ran getvar and then continued the flashing :(

Hello everyone,

I have an Amazfit Bip watch for a very short time.

The alarm vibrates only 20 seconds and returns 10 minutes later.

Is it normal that my alarm does not vibrate more than 20 seconds?

I tried to update the firmware with an older version and with a beta but it does not change.

I saw that an Android application can create custom alarms but they need to have the phone next to the watch at the time of waking.

I even started the analysis of the firmware with the help of a Russian forum (except that I have never made assembler and I do not speak a word of Russian) but I quickly gave up!

I have try "Factory reset" but it doesn't change.

Thank you for your answers,

Hcks

just stupid questions... i have read all of your posts and see you have read everything and tried everything. but its not absolutely clear... did you receive SMS confirmation? did you click on Find device and located your phone? did you solve the previous error 86012 cannot bind account? did you check the driver is shown as Xiaomi Corp? have you tried another usb cable or switched the port? tried with older version of Mi unlock tool? Developer options OEM unlocking box still greyed out at any time?

(just answer with yes, yes, yes)

Yes, i clicked on find device and my device was located.

As for the error 86012, i have tried Plex VPN and many other VPNs and set the server to Hong Kong/ China but it did not work. Later i read on XDA that u can unlock even with error 86012.

Yes indeed. Checked that just now and the driver is shown as Xiaomi Corp.

[Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers] alecxs:
the logfile says CloudDeviceStatus stateCode 200 "ok" which means it has a successful connection to server, but then gives error device not found code 86012 description "设备不存在".

this may have different reasons (but i am not that expert):

a) the data on server is deleted - server fault?

b) access denied - account fault?

c) the device-id (or whatever they submit) election is empty or invalid - rom issue?

d) account is not binded to device?

Is this phone brand-new, do you still remember all accounts used from this device? Log-in to every single account and delete all binded devices, then use the very first account only. For my understanding only one account can be granted permission. Just try over and over again after 15 days - sorry i can not help :(
