[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hemagoku:
So i was simply updating youtube through google play, and messenger through messenger it self and suddenly the phone went into boot loop and can't get it out.

opening recovery mode is hard but when i managed to do it, it simply shows the android icon and installing system updates then restarts again. (tried it ~4 times). thanks to that i can't try clearing cache or any of that stuff on the list that is supposed to appear in recover mode.

trying force restart also does nothing.

trying to remove memory card and sim also didn't work.

i read that flashing HOME_CSC from a rom could fix it but the rom websites i know offer limited sizes and speeds and i don't have a strong internet which ends up timing out, can someone help me out? G935FOJV2ERGE is the one i need.

if you have any other ideas that can help, i would also greatly appreciate it, i really don't want to have to buy a new phone atm, and don't want to lose all my data because i don't used backup services cuz they ate up data :(.

edit: I am on latest official rom, only used OTA updates, haven't rooted the phone.

edit 2: i managed to get a different region's rom and flashed it's home_csc file, and force restarted it and seems to have worked booted, then it started doing it again just 1 second after that. i didn't even have time to unlock it.

edit 3: managed to get into recovery mode list once, wiping cache didn't work. couldn't get into recovery mode again after that. then i gave up and tried flashing a full rom. still the same problem.

I was very upset a couple days ago after I dropped my 818Pro in the swimming pool. I was playing with my son with my pants folded up to my knee without realizing that I still had my 818Pro on a clip on my belt. Suddenly, I saw something black fell to the swimming pool and I had to pick it up from the bottom of the swimming pool.

When I picked it up. I was so confused and couldn't think straight for a few minutes then I realized that I had to take off the battery right away, so I did, hoping that it wasn't too late. It was vibrating when I was about to take out the battery (maybe the water was too cold and it was shivering!). Later I found out that somebody was calling me at around the time, I felt more and more hopeless.

I thought of all the data and programs I have installed, and all the trouble upgrading to WM6.0 with. I was very upset. But anyway, I left the phone alone for 3 days.

I just tried to turn it on for the first time and IT WAS ON!!! Amazing, everything is still there, the data, the sound is ok, graphic is ok, bluetooth is ok, I still can sync with my computer, charge the battery etc.... It's perfect!!

So, I just thought that I have to share this experience with all of you. Water doesn't always damage the phone, just be patient and leave it alone for a couple of days, cross ur fingers and try it again.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] wanwarlock:
wow! good stuff. i read somewhere that the 1st rule if your phone fell in the water, dont switch it on straight away! take battery out & open case let it dry out 1st, which i guess is what happened in your case. if you switch it on straight away then there would be a electric short damaging it
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] l3v5y:
Prophets are getting tougher!

The problem with water is not that it damages things directly, but that if you turn the device on with water in it, it might short connections and screw the whole thing up. Having said that, dropping a camera to the bottom of the Loire Valley (my dad fell in when we where kayaking down a bit of it) is terminal, so I wouldn't suggest trying this for fun!

Hello

I have tried in every way to root my old note 3 with android 5.0 v. baseband PL1 with all the options I found here, to install [6.0.1] [N7 / N8 / S8 Port] MagMa-NX VX1 that I found here .. the truth I could not, use all options: King rott , odin v3.0 and nothing. I clarify that I am not an expert in this world of releasing telephones, but I can follow orders, if a video or some post that I have not read would help me a lot.

I know it's an old terminal, but it's from my mother and she does not want to buy another one. While this works, the least I can do is to update it.

Hi!

I have a treble Android 8.1 encrypted device, and if I try to flash old versions of system and/or Boot, nor recovery nor system can decrypt data.

- Old system + current boot : data won't be decrypted

- Old system + old boot : won't be decrypted

- current system + old boot : won't be decrypted

- Only current system with current boot decrypts it

So, I thought thé system and boot partitions weren't implied in the encryption of data. Can someone explain to me how they are related? And why an old system or boot prevent from data decryption? And is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

So what are the must have Modules on this new phone ?

- Is there a mod that allows me to "Swipe down Expand notifications" without installing a separate launcher like Nova ?

- Mod to give me back the old 3 soft nav keys ? The Back / Home / Recents setup?

- Best battery saver mod ?

- Greenify still needed for Pixel 3 type phones ?

- Mod to allow me to have separate volume options for Ringer and Notification sounds ?

Thanks
[Magisk] DanGLES3:
1-not possible with magisk

2-there's a tutorial on XDA for that,but it requires switching the launcher if i recall correctly

4-not really,greenify is almost useless on android pie,especially on a pixel with adaptive battery enabled

5-again not possible with magisk

1. Not that I'm aware of yet except nova.

2. This mod with adb shell will give you the old nav bar back..https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3/help/how-to-remove-gesture-navigation-return-t3856560

3. Best battery saver mod is to let your phone learn your usage for a while, and keep track of any rouge apps you see.

4. I can't speak about greenify. Some like it, but I've never needed it on my P2XL. Can't imagine the P3XL will be much different.

5. You'll likely need a custom rom for that one.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanohack:
Hi,

I'm stumped :confused::eek:

I had a fully functional Moto x phone, but unfortunately I decided to change the firmware and do a clean installation by deleting everything (I could just install twrp and do a complete wipe, but I thought about it too late) so I sent the ****ing command "fastboot erase all" thinking that it would have deleted everything except the protected partitions (like efs, persist etc ..) where there were important files ..

With the result that I lost my code imei and now there is no possibility to use the network with the sim, everything works perfectly except the mobile network! :(

How to solve? Is it possible that at the end of 2018 there is not yet a practical and fast solution?

I still have my code imei on the box, and if I run the command

fastboot getvar imei

is displayed correctly.

I looked around, here on the forum and it happened to many who could not easily solve the problem ..

I tried to solve it in different ways but I could not solve it

I have installed different versions of android 7.1. retasia, one or dual sim, custom rom as lineage os and aosp etc..

I also downgraded to MM 6.0 bloated rom via twrp (with fastboot there is a risk of brick) but nothing of good happened and the imei code remains 0..

I tried to install the modules xposed and rewrite the code with the app 'Device id imei changer' with no result .. the phones with soc qualcomm snapdragon unlike those mediatek are much more protected and it is difficult to succeed ..

One of the last things I'm trying is to use a program to rewrite the imei for soc snapdragon called "write dual imei" as in tihis video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P12MvP-p1o

or to use qpst with RF NV Item Manager, but I could not put the phone in diagnostic mode with these commands:

adb shell
on
setprop sys.usb.config diag, adb

I can not get the phone in diag mode with 'Qualcomm hs-usb android' and without this I can not try to rewrite the imei with the above programs ..

how it should be:

View attachment 4624258

Hi xda,

I've looking for method to flash unlocked preloader on device with last rom v9.2 from SPFT stock rom v6.1 found here on xda. If that possible, we can downgrade to v6.1 via SPFT, then root, twrp, etc.:p

I tried to find test point on phone board to make it recognized as emergency MTK USB Port, because rom v9.2 has locked preloader, and there is no way to use SPFT in normal download mode to flash. I disassembled the phone, disconnect a battery, consistently shorted a found gold pins to ground, and connect phone to PC, but no luck, phone isn't recognized by Device Manager at all, but red indicator is lit. With connected battery it can't get MTK USB Port mode to flash preloader. And i tried connect pins DP, DM, GND on board directly to USB D+, D- and GND accordingly, and no recognizion again. Also there is Rx and Tx pins on board, but I don't know how to use it, need more googling...

Does anyone have an idea how to make it recognized as emergency MTK USB Port to flash unlocked preloader first?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Alfnett:
Hello,

I am thinking of buying a Note 9, and from what I've read both of these models are bootloader unlocked and so both are rooteable.

Rooting is very important to me, as well as a good GPU since I play plenty of games. I am also very excited about the possibility of using DeX as my main computer, possibly with arch on it (I've read that it's possible to a degree). I am also living in latin america.

Here are the main points I've gathered from reading quite a bit on the similarities and differences between these models:

* The N960F has a faster CPU BUT the N9600 has a faster GPU.

* The N9600 has a better battery life.

* Both perform quite the same in real life.

* The N960F has a way more active modding community (judging from the amount of threads over here at XDA)

So... I feel like the N9600 is the better choice because of the battery life and the GPU (in my case). The only thing that's making me have my doubts is the inactive modding community in here.

Is there any particular reason why there is currently pretty much no modding being done on the N9600, compared to the N960F, if both are rooteable? There are no kernel threads for the N9600 and only one ROM thread.

Overall, which model would you say is better for my particular situation, and better in general?

Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere around here and thank you.
