[LG V30 Questions & Answers] denis234:
So I did a quick search on the forums here, and in google, regarding this issue I'm having. When using stock LG software, NFC worked perfectly. Now, every time I get my NFC card near my reader, it tries to read it for a second and fails immediately. I was wondering if this is a known problem, or if my device is abnormal here. Tried Lineage 16, Havoc and currently I'm on POSP. All have the same problem.

Sorry if this has been asked already and answered, couldn't find anything in the forum typing "nfc" in search.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] blossom:
Same here

Any solution to this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
You're running an AOSP Rom? Pie?

Why not ask in the forum for that specific rom? I think this forum is more for stock or some variation of the stock rom. As you say, the stock worked 'perfectly'. I don't think people in this forum will have specific answers for an AOSP rom?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fullbustah:
Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery
Flashing instructions:
Dirty flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to slot B and flash ROM and twrp installer
3. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
4. Now reboot to system

Clean flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to A slot and wipe everything except for internal
3. Reboot twrp to B slot and flash ROM and twrp installer
4. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
5. Now reboot to system

If you are coming from stock:
1. Download latest [URL="https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2.html"]TWRP[/URL] installer and image
2. Open cmd and type fastboot boot twrp.img (change twrp to its actual name)
3. You should be on slot A in twrp, if not change it and reboot to bootloader and repeat step 2.
4. Format data
5. Now follow instruction for clean flash

OTA Updates

Bootleggers has A/B OTA, which means you can update your system seamlessly. Which also means that you will lost twrp as your boot img won't be patched, this could make you troubles if you consider yourself flashoholic (even if you don't, flashing 3 roms a week is sick)

You can either flash twrp trough adb or if you are root user of ex kernel manager (tested by me) you can flash it trough kernel flasher.

You can also export downloaded zip to internal storage (long press on download card in OTA app) and flash it as usually trough twrp.

Or use your phone without root(*) and other stuff that comes with it and just press download and then install every update forever and ever.

(*)When I tested OTA, my root persist, only twrp was gone, but it could disappear eventually, dunno.

If you don't understand something, ask me, I will try to explain it better.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nebrassy:
No point wiping system on both slots, twrp will only be able to wipe the system of the slot you're currently booted on, the system of the opposite slot is automatically wiped when flashing the rom

Dalvik and cache are wiped when wiping data, there's only one data partition

After setting active slot to A, you need to reboot bootloader and boot twrp again, then you can flash Gapps and the rest
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] @AxL:

Have you check it if sim card can be detected like in AOSP Extended SIM never work?

Hello ,

I have a galaxy S7 G930F

I used to run android 7.0 and rooted with CF ROOT, after a stupid mistake OF OEM UNLOCK I got the RFP lock & i didnt know how to fix it without loosing data , So I flashed it but to Android 8.0 OREO , and I did an update from Samsung official to the latest version of security patch

Nevertheless, I want to root my phone ! but I'm confused as I mentioned in the title which file I should download from firmware.mobi ?

PHONE : GALAXY S7 G930F

SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE : 9.0

BASEBAND VERSION : G930FXXU3ERKF

BUILD NUMBER: R16NW.G930FXXU3ERL3

in software update this is what is written :

version : G930FXXU3ERL3/G930FOXA3ERKF/G930FXXU3ERKF

SIZE; 470,74MB

security patch level : december 1, 2018

SO which file I should use from firmware.mobi to root my G930F ?

Thank you and sorry for long post!

one last question! how to unlock phone with home button ? I couldnt find it in android 8.0 and no setting --> display --> navigation bar does not exist in S7 !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dk2019:
is there a way i can make it connect to edge and not gprs because all gprs does is fails to connect because t-mobile only has edge is there something i can do or set?

EDIT: its a att 8525 unlocked for t-mobile with wm6.1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alkizmo:
EDGE is a form of GPRS

When you see G instead of E as the connection icon, it just means that either

1 - your signal is terrible and falls back on G

2 - That the local T-Mobile antenna doesnt support E

3 - That something's wrong with your phone's reception (change ROM)

Do you ONLY get the G icon?

If you sometimes get E, then your problem is either #1 or #2

If you never get E, then it's definitively #3

if it's 3, and changing your ROM doesnt do anything, try a new SIM card.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] chris2busy:
Good day and a happy new year. I am considering a switch from apple again and this is my target device. The things i need your help deciding are the below, in order of priority (for me) :

-Thermals. I have been switching between iphones and androids for many years. And so far all androids i owned (most samsung devices) tend to heat up even with the most normal of uses. My last switch from s7 edge to Iphone 6s Plus was purely due to that. You could feel the device back heating just from surfing on wifi indoors. Please advise how the S 9+ performs in this task.

-Camera . It is widely said that S 9+ camera does not handle motion at all . For example , shooting a person that moves or an animal, will surely result in a blurry photo. Just how bad is the situation ?

-Background applications resource usage . In my last experience with android (s7e 7.1) just about any application could run any way it wanted and hog resources/battery without any consent whatsoever. I get the benefits of multitasking but if the trade off is me losing control of what is going on i need to take it in consideration. Please advise how the S 9+ performs in this task (current android version it runs atm).

-Storage speed . iPhones over 6+ are using nvme type flash storage wich is stupid fast. I cannot find any nand benchmarks for the S 9+ exynos model. Any info on that? Also what type of nand does it use(very important for future proofing).

-Processor .I n my region the only S 9+ available is the one with exynos (EU). how does it perform compared to the snapdragon variant ?

-GPS . As you may have heard, iPhone GPS accuracy and lock speeds are out of this world. Is S 9+'s performance in this area satisfactory? (again for the exynos model).

- Any one here switched from iphone to S 9+ ? Maybe you could share something that you would consider useful to know beforehand ?

So sorry to hit you with that wall of text but for me €600+ for a phone is kind of a big deal (for my current financials). That is mostly why i had to rule out the XS Max in the first place (€1350+ where i live).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] chris2busy:
No takers? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] profi_fahrer:
I'm really happy with my S9+ since I have it.

Thermals: It really depends on the apps you are using. In the Internet Browser, E-Mail, Phone, WhatsApp, etc. the phone wont heat up. When you play heavy Games it will heat up a bit (~45°C), but I never managed it to overheat.

Camera: For almost every scene there is a mode (Night, Text, Sport, etc.). If you have time to take a picture you can use the Pro-Mode. There you can adjust everyting on the Camera (Brightness, Focus, ISO, etc.) Also the Pro-Mode saves two pictures, .jpg and raw-Picture (.dng).

Background apps: Again it depends on the app. You can block the background process or you enable it. But a foreground app has always priority.

Storage speed: I don't know which type it uses but when I copy Data at the Phone (not from the PC) I get ~300MB/s) If you copy Data from a PC, the USB Port will limit the speed at about ~120MB/s (depends on the PC)

Processor: I also have the Exynos and for me it's perfect

GPS: Perfect, locks in less than 2 seconds and consumes very less battery. (Don't forget to enable A-GPS > it's a hidden setting and by default it's turned off).

I hope, that this helps a bit. Sorry for my bad english. :)

I have S9+,6s+ & XS Max with me.S9+ on latest pie.Screen wise S9+ is above all.Smoothness wise & Ease of using-iPhone.Like You can still use XS max with one hand ,Games & Apps There is night & day difference.

S9+ optimises battery by closing apps which you don't use regularly.Also If you disable some apps by package disbler pro the processor almost never heats.Even in heavy gaming its just gets warm

Camera is also good,It clicks pics instantly without blurring objects.Potrait Mode is trash

Gpu is trash,Face Unlock with iris also doesn't work always.Exynos Cpu is good can be compared to A11

If you can bear a 720p screen I would suggest go for XR or X.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] chris2busy:
Hello ! thanks for all the input ! TBH what i downright hated on my iphone 6s plus was the horrid screen resolution. downright bad by today's standards and XR is not changing that one bit. for my current financials the crazy €1.400 price tag for the XS max is off so it will probably be the s9+ . i can get that around €500.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
I currently have a S9+ and an iPhone 8 Plus. I'm trying to decide which to use, and I'm conflicted.

The screen on the iPhone is fine, I have no great issues with it apart from the big chin. Resolution is fine, colour is fine. The flat screen is better than the S9+'s curved screen. Battery is better on the iPhone. No headphone jack sucks, I like to watch YouTube in bed for an hour or so in bed, and it's dead handy being able to plug in the S9+ to charge and use headphones at the same time, but then again the iPhone doesn't need charged so much. I don't like the iPhone's inability to sort icons, but that's not a deal breaker. Camera on the S9+ is a little better than the iPhone. Finally, on Android I can run YouTube Vanced which blocks ads and Samsung Internet has ad blocker - it's not so easy to do those things on iOS.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
Hi

I have a Note 9 which was originally purchased through Sprint. It's carrier unlocked. After moving the phone to Verizon it remains stuck in Roaming. Technicians at Verizon store clam they've never seen this problem before.

The network's shown as "Preferred System." Factory reset did not help.

I think the phone has Sprint firmware since the Sprint logo shows upon restart.

What works on phone:

Incoming / Outgoing Calls

Internet [around 60MBps]

SMS messages

What's broke:

MMS messages using default "Messaging" application

My wife's pretty upset about this problem.

I am running Linux Mint and familiar with Heimdall.

Do I need to flash Verizon firmware onto this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
Since you've already done a factory reset I would think the next logical step is to flash the Verizon or the unlocked firmware. What about the SIM card, did they try a new one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
They only tried one SIM.

When flashing with Heimdal do I simply need to download the Verizon firmware from SamMobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:

if u can manage that, theres update.zips you can adb sideload but u need to b on specific firmware versions to update to certain firmwares..

i was messin around with firmwares and changed my csc to sprint.. i have vzw.. although it says roaming i am connected to verizon network so dont think its actually roaming but im not 100% sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
OK

Thanks everyone for help!

I was able to successfully flash using a Windows 10 VM running in Oracle VirtualBox VM. I used Odin v3.13_B. I did not re-partition.

I

used this firmware

:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note9/SM-N960U/VZW/download/N960USQS1ARJ9/242777/

There were no errors though after the phone rebooted it said there was an "

unauthorized attempt

" to install software.

It then tells me to connect to Wifi in order to verify my identity.

I cannot skip this process.

The Sprint firmware still seems to be present as I see Sprint applications. I am still roaming on Verizon though the port request was completed at least that's what they said at the store.

Interestingly the Sprint logo does not appear upon booting phone. Only the Samsung logo.

To remove Sprint firmware do I need to flash to the non-carrier firmware first before trying Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
I sounds like someone else had the same problem with the SM-N960U.

The solution in that thread seems to be using the SM-N960U1 firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
SamMobile is a horrible website

I paid the 8 euro fee and the download for https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note9/SM-N960U1/VZW/download/N960U1UES1ARJ9/244757/ still takes like an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
It seems there's some Google phone protection targeted to deter thieves. That could be why it requires me to sign into the previous Google account after flashing.

I am removing my Google account from the phone, doing factory reset, then will try to flash Verizon firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
After flashing again it looks like some software called "Sprint OMDAM" still present on the phone. This loads after flashing. When I try to activate on network it comes up while the phone remains in roaming. Again Sprint unlocked the phone.

Should I re-partition?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
OK

I wiped the cache partition and did factory reset.

I will yet again try another flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] quackmaster:
The Sprint logo is gone but Sprint apps still remain.

Should I try to re-partition the phone? I don't understand why Sprint applications are showing up when I flash Verizon firmware using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Make sure you have a Verizon SIM card in the phone.

1. Remove your accounts (Google and Samsung) under settings.

2. Factory reset under settings.

3. Download the U1 firmware using the SamFirm tool

4. Using modded ODIN 3.13.1B flash all four files (use CSC_OYN not the HOME_CSC file).

Optional, if you want WiFi calling and VoLTE:

Download the VZW N960U firmware using the SamFirm tool and flash it the same way using modded ODIN, but this time include the USERDATA file as well.

Hi All,

I need to remove the encryption on my G5 plus device. Can anybody please help? I have unlocked the bootloader and am rooted on the debloated stock as well.

Because of this, I am unable to flash certain Pie Roms. I have tried the below options:

Option - 1:

Go to wipe, advanced wipe, select partition DATA, change it to ext4....

Reboot to recovery

Format data

Option - 2:

1. Boot to Twrp Recovery

2. Do a Factory Reset, Internal Storage Wipe

3. Reboot to Recovery Again

4. Hurray We have Removed the Encryption

Both the above methods are not working. Please help
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] riyan65:
Boot to twrp<wipe<format data<yes done. Now you're encryption should be removed. don't just format by sliding.there should be a option for format data then it ask type yes. Enter yes, then your done. encryption should be removed.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sinchan_nohara:
Easiest option flash magisk. I have faced this many times nothing works than i flash magisk it remove encryption.

Nope. I guess it doesn't work that way. Currently, I am on Debloated Stock ROM and have also flashed Magisk, but still am seeing that my phone is encrypted.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
In my case it was important to not reboot between formatting data (back to F2FS with the "yes" option, not just slide) and flashing magisk. If that doesn't work for you you can try to flash a no-verity-force-encryption.zip, should be found in several flashing and rooting guides.

Hi guys i am new to this forum. Have downloaded roms and kernels before but never actually asked a question.

Any ways i tried finding an answer and i have seen alot of guys talking about the snap dragon on the note 9 not root able but i would like to know if any one actually knows any major differences between the N9600, N960U and N960U1 before i go and buy one and then realize WTF did i do.

I live in Canada and all N9600, N960U and N960U1 are compatable with the network that i am trying to use them for.

i do know that N9600 is for china or international market (correct me if i am wrong) and the N960U and N9601 are for US market only.

i was looking at on custom firmware thread where they were talking about the wifi calling feature and some other features that dont work and they were trying to install N960U1 custom firmware.

I also saw in 1 forum where someone from the US bought the N9600 and was not able to set the phone to us time or somehing like that or use samsung pay because the phone would show his location in china.

So please help me i would really appreciate it. it is a very expansive phone and i want to be sure.
