[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
Hello guys. I just got a note 9 recently from abroad, and wanting to change its CSC via rooting, I tried to access ODIN mode. However when I press the bixby, volume down and power, it doesn't go there. Im pretty sure that those buttons are working. I wanted to flash custom recovery, but how do I do that when the bootloader isnt loading in the first place? Any ways on how to restore everything back to stock first so I can go back to ODIN? Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Can you get into recovery? by swapping the volume buttons.. It has a reboot into bootloader option
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
Just tried what you advised. Nope, the phone goes into a normal reboot instead. Perhaps the bootloader is corrupted? Cause the knox is 0x0 and samsung pass is still working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Enable dev settings and turn on debugging..

Use the adb command adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
Not working as well. Would this mean that I have no option but to get it repaired in samsung center?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
If you type adb devices does it see your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
Yes it does recognize my phone, but again it just does a normal reboot. The same thing when I try to reboot to bootloader using stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Yeah that sounds fubar, you might have to take it to Samsung. Have you tried using Samsung desktop software to try and load firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
I might try Smart Switch and see if it gets the job done. I'll update you when something has changed. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willcor:
I might be wrong, but as far as i understand

accessing Download mode on Note 9 is slightly different than the previous Notes models ?

(The button combo is slightly different?)

tried but no luck...Im guessing that my bootloader is somewhat corrupted. I might really need to get this fixed in a repair shop.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] stiffis:
No, it is not corrupted.. Try to hold down the volume down + bixby and then plug in the USB-cable. It should boot right into download mode. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KevAngelo14:
Do I need to turn off the device first before doing that?

Yes

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] richard.rea:
Really need help!

I successfully unlocked my Mi Max 3 using the official process. 14 day wait. No issues...booted back into MIUI 10' restored backup from MiCloud and was back to normal, except now it showed "unlocked" on startup screen.

It was running CN MIUI 10 V10.0.6.0 OEDCNFH

I had been reading that it was possible to flash the device with the global version of the ROM

I had several Google related issues with the Chinese ROM so I downloaded the MiFlash tool (2018.5.28.0), got the ROM from here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/latest-official-miui-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-max-3/

and tried to flash it with Global 10.0.1.0 OEDMIFH

Result was the error "flash crclist error"

screenshot here

https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArN9mSbbMVT8gohpA03ob7X2FhjspQ

After this, the device is stuck in Fastboot mode and seems to no longer have a bootable ROM. Booting into recovery mode with vol up + power and restarting that way also just boots back into Fastboot.

I downloaded the Fastboot version of the ROM the phone was originally running 10.0.6.0 OEDCNFH and tried to flash that.

It also failed with the same error.

This user had the same issue with a Mi8:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-8/help/failed-to-install-global-rom-via-mi-t3851636

The thread did not help me. There seems to be almost nothing related to this issue "flash crclist error" on XDA

My phone is not bootable now. No idea what to try next, I am a total novice in this area. I have since been reading about Anti Rollback Protection, I just don't know if this has anything to do with my issue. My device is not dead....it is booting into Fastboot, and I can still see it in MiFlash. If anyone could advise me I would be very grateful.

See my post there on page 2. It should fix your issue.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] panospc:
The path of the rom seems too long.

Create a new folder at the root of your C drive and give it a name without spaces, move all the contents of the extracted rom to that folder and try to flash again
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] richard.rea:
opasha - thanks for reply

Hi and thank you for responding to my question.

I have tried the steps in your thread as follows:

1) Download Global Stable fastboot 10.0.1.0 from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/mi-...-t3827503/amp/

2) Open MiFlashTool and navigate to 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom. At the bottom select 'Clean All Only' (do NOT select clean all and lock).

3) Hold power, volume up and volume down together for 10 seconds after plugging into PC. Your pc should detect your phone in EDL mode. Hit REFRESH button at the top of MiFlashTool and it will show up as COM XX or XXX for your USB connection. Try whichever USB port works. Then hit refresh. Then click Flash.

When I try step 3, what you describe does not seem to be the behaviour I am seeing. If I hold volume up + volume down + power simultaneously for 10 seconds, the device reboots straight back into the Fastboot screen (the one with the bunny). Is this normal? If not, what screen should be displayed on the device? There is no sign of MiFlash tool detecting the device differently at this point (COM XX or XXX)

When I refresh MiFlash it detects the device as pictured:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArN9mSbbMVT8gpEJOYos6rGjNSM8vQ

If I flash it, it produces the same "flash crclist error" pictured here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArN9mSbbMVT8gpEIec-cB8pUMAVqLg

FYI the only way I can get the device to start in anything other than the Fastboot screen is to hold down the VOLUME UP key + power. This boots it into the Mi-Recovery 3.0 screen where I can see the Main Menu with 3 buttons: Reboot - Wipe Data - Connect with MiAssistant

Reboot goes back to Fastboot

Wipe Data also just reboots into Fastboot.

Connect with MiAssistant prompts to connect to Mi PC suite with diagram of device + USB cable + URL (I tried this but PC suite (version 3.2.1.3111_2717) does not recognise my device....this was also the case when the phone was working normally). If I don't try to connect with USB cable at this point it times out after about 30 seconds and boots back into the Fastboot screen.

The remaining steps in your thread did not seem to apply after step 3 failed.

No idea what to do. I posted this on MIUI forums too. Some people are suggesting I use ADB and install TWRP but I would need an idiots guide, I don't have any experience with either and would have no idea what I was doing....and I'm finding it extremely difficult to unearth anything useful from the **vast** number of Android related sites and forums relating to ROMs etc. For example, I can't find anything helpful about "flash crclist error". Maybe I should ask Xiaomi support?

At this point I just need to get *any* working ROM onto the device. I would not have unlocked it and attempted the switch from Chinese to Global if I hadn't read so much advice that this could be done very simply and without issues as long as the bootloader was unlocked. If you have any other advice for me please let me know!

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Sorry, didn't realize this was new to you. Your fastboot mode is fine. Ignore my step 3 (my apologies for not clarifying since this step is not needed for you since your phone is in fastboot). All you need to do is have your phone flash this version of miui global through Miflash Tool. Let it reboot on its own.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] richard.rea:
can not flash ROM

I can not flash the ROM Global Stable fastboot 10.0.1.0 (or any other ROM I have tried)

In the MiFlash tool I get the error "flash crclist error" as I have tried to explain in my previous posts.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
You're not extracting properly. Use 7zip. Then extract the folder and point Miflash to this extracted folder. - make sure inside this folder there are simply files and no other single folders - single folders within single folders usually means you have to extract again.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] nijel8:
Just run the damn flash-all.bat for God sake...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] richard.rea:
SOLVED thank you!

You were right. I extracted using 7Zip instead of Winzip. Pointed MiFlash at the extracted folder. 10.0.1.0 Global flashed successfully.

**HUGE** thanks to you for your replies and help. Painful learning curve for me. Very happy to get my phone working again, this time with the ROM I wanted.

Thanks again

best regards

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKAm69:
Hi,

I found a supposedly new Verizon Wear24 for about $100. The seller says that it's new but the original retail box is missing. Is that a clear sign it has been refurbished but selling as new?

Are there any ways to check if the watch has been refurbished?

Thanks
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niketathakare:
You can also check the model number. The first letter of the model number represents the source of the device. There are currently four options:

M: retail unit

F: refurbished unit

N: replacement unit

P: personalised/engraved unit

Refurbished units come in a plain box, but of course somebody can swap the box so it's not as good a check as the serial number.

[Xposed General] Fiksdal:
I have a Moto Z2 Play running a Pixel Experience Oreo (8.1) 64-bit ROM. I have TWRP, root (Magisk) and Xposed Framework running. My browser is Chrome 70.0.3538.110 which is the latest stable release as of 5th of December 2018.

I have "AdAway", which works using the hosts file. It does work, however the space normally taken up by the ads is now taken up by a "sad face" icon as in the message Chrome shows when a page fails to load.

To me this is better than no ad-blocking at all, but one of the points of an ad-blocker is to remove clutter and use more display real-estate for actual content. Therefore, I am looking for a way to block ads in Chrome while also freeing up the space used by them so it can be used to show actual content. This is how most ad-blockers for desktop Chrome work.

I know that the newest Chrome Canary releases have a native ad blocker built in. However, it only blocks the most obnoxious ads. I am looking for a way to block all (or the great majority of) ads.
[Xposed General] Robert342:
Try to AdGuard.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Androowner:
Hello,

I have found that with OpenCamera can adjust the video bitrate.

Would be great to do this also with the sound
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5591885]Androowner[/MENTION]: I think your best bet would be to record audio in lossless WAV format. But filesize will be big. Later you can convert to a smaller lossless format like FLAC. Or a lossy format like MP3. Which in turn will reduce the bitrate/quality as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Androowner:
I don't know, how can I record video sound in uncompressed wav format.

Sure it is possible ? How can do this ?

BTW I have found that SnapCamera HDR and Bacon camera has settings on video sound bitrate !

Edit: but sound format/quality in video will be the same, these so sound options not work. they will same as factory default as in stock camera.

Thank you for the response!

Regards, AO
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
I was going to suggest Snap Camera HD too.

I use either stock camera or Snap too, depending on purpose of picture or video. The mode dial in Snap is very convenient as you can save settings for three custom modes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Androowner:
Thanks for the suggestion. What is your opinion, it works on the same settings better than stock camera ? (without API2)

I'm still in testing phase, along with Open camera,

(The only problem that I can't save RAW pictures as in the stock.)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
I find stock camera is quite good but Snap has some tricks up it's sleeve. You don't need RAW unless you want to photoshop images.

My approach is to let the app do as much of the work as possible. I don't want to waste time trying to make a RAW look good, let the phone do it. Shoot it as good as you can in the first place.

IMO, Snap could easily replace stock camera apps but my preference is to use stock for snapshots at full resolution and Snap for more specific cases and also video.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] KewlFox:
I'm on a pocophone f1 (64gb) running lineage os (android 9) and the latest version of magisk with no problems..... Almost.

I noticed that where I got 4g cell service, I get h+. No 4g (much less lte.)

Instead of saying "oh well" I decided to take to Google and tackle the issue. What I found is that sometimes you need to edit some things in the Mobile Network Options (this was the case on my old phone), well to my dismay I found that clicking on the Mobile Network Options did either of these or both.

-instantly take me back to the main settings screen with a "com.android.phone keeps stopping" message if attempted multiple times,

-stay on the same screen after I click it, the signal strength indicator in the notification bar/status bar will go blank for a couple seconds before redetecting my mobile network provider and go back to its h+ signal.

Please help I don't want to have to reset my phone unless it is the ONLY option, I already reinstalled magisk via twrp, I checked for lineage os updates and restarted my phone several times. I know that the pocophone's cell band works with my provider because I got 4g/lte before I put this custom rom on this.

(I am using Cricket Wireless BTW)

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] grendelkid:
Did you have a resolution that worked? I'm on Cricket in Virginia, US and was curious since I saw how few 4G bands it has.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] KewlFox:
Update

I had returned to MiUi for a while but after a couple months decided to go back to lineage using the now updated firmware.

I'm still using it and it is working fine, the crashes in the settings were fixed, but I still only get h+ data. I switched preferred networks and in the busiest town near me (Jackson CA) I was able to get a tiny short lived sliver of LTE, before getting no signal at all. So I stuck with H+ because that was the only network I got reception on.

I understand that the pocophone has limited LTE signal in the US, but I used to be able to get 4g on MiUi. I'm planning on upgrading to the Mix 3, but I'd still like to get this resolved for future pocophone users.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] KewlFox:
Quick Update, I still have my good 'ol poco f1, still with h+ data, but I didnt really notice speed differences from 4g that much, but when I go to folsom, (where I go to college now), I get normal LTE.

I'm switching to a fairly new OS called POSP https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/development/rom-posp-v3-0-0-alpha-1-beryllium-t3965821 which brings android 10 to the poco f1, will report that later on in a different thread :3
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
POCO F1 has modified vendor image! if you are using lineage of 7-8-2019 (before it got reported and development stopped) , that version had its own vendor image making 400mb LOS to 700+mb LOS,

having said that!

you still need to flash firmware , use 9.6.27-9

https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/

now lets say you are on that firmware!

modified vendor creates strange Network issues and com.android.xxxx crashing notifications if YOU EVER HAVE/HAD used USB TETHERING on 3g network!

the modifited vendor dumps 3g log stats on /data/system/netstats which makes network configuration faulty and system UI keeps crashing restarting making mobile data also crash and restart

Perminant solution is NONE

temporary solution

1. avoid usb tethering on 3g

2. whenever such happens, put device on AIRPLAIN MODE and DELETE all the files in /data/system/netstats and REBOOT POCO

you also need new radio & bootloader img's.

what's so hard about re-rooting? you just have to flash twrp and magisk, right?

All ROMs are good and all ROMs need the same amount of effort to install.
