Nah I bought it on Ebay for a good price. I paid 620$ on black Friday. Way cheaper than financing from the carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] taimurkhantk:
For daily use. i am the kind of person who buys new phone and keeps his phone till it breaks and fixing it is not worth it.

Rite now i am using a Note Edge N915T. Bought it brand new from ebay unlocked but was from T mobile. my screen is cracked and to replace it, its arround 200 - 250 CAD (digitizer, screen and frame). so who not put that money towards a new phone. Also its very slow now.

Sorry for that long drawn story. I dont think i will be ever rooting the note 9 but if i would need to, i might.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] taimurkhantk:
But was it from T- Mobile. like the startup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Then getting a N960U or N960U1 is probably your best bet if you don't plan on rooting. In my opinion, rooting isn't needed anymore. You can adblock and disable apps without it. And with the N960U or U1, everything will work with no fuss, inlcuding Samsung Pay.

If you have to have root, then you'll need the N9600 or N960F. But once you u lock the bootloader, you trip Knox PERMANENTLY and lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Secure Folder PERMANENTLY. NOT reversible. Even if you don't unlock the Bootloader, you probably won't get Samsung Pay to work in the US, since it's region locked. Some people have got it to work, but jumped through hoops.

No. All Note 9s from T-Mobile are N960U.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kick60:
Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help me unbrick my MXQ Pro 4k. I've searched high and low for the stock firmware but it is nowhere to be found. My box seems to be a peculiar variant and the specs are as follow:

S905x 1GB/8GB S905XQ_V2.0 2017.05.16

SV6051P Wifi

SK Hynix H27UCG812ETR DDR3

It became bricked when I tried to flash different atvXperience firmware img files with the Amlogic USB burn tool. I had successfully flashed it with a version posted by minixfreak on the freaktab forums.

Although not with exactly the same specs, it worked pretty well except for the remote control wouldn't function. So I tried to flash again with what I thought was the stock firmware but unfortunately, that bricked the box pretty good. I tried to revert to the atvXperience firmware that worked from the post, but it now always fails at 7% when trying to format with USB tool. In all cases, I've tried every possible combination of pushing in the reset button in the AV port, shorting the NAND pins, switching the order of USB ports... The box always has a red light when powered and is always recognized by the USB Burn Tool driver when connected to the OTG port on the box but always stops at 7% when it attempts to format.

I hooked up a serial usb/ttl cable to capture boot output, turned on the box and it seems the box is in an infinite loop with the following output:

LOOP:8F;EMMC:800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:90;EMMC :800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8. It appears the bootloader is corrupt or maybe has been erased.

I tried making a bootable sd card using both burncard maker and bootcard maker but that didn't work either as it can't get past intial boot attempt, even pressing reset or shorting nand pins. I'm not sure if it's because of the boot loop or perhaps incorrect firmware. I haven't been able to find the definitive stock firmware anywhere. I would appreciate help in finding this elusive firmware.

I've scoured the internet for a solution and tried many different things but nothing can get me out of this loop. I'm now at a dead end.

I once had a bricked router that I was able to fix by connecting usb/ttl and putty and repeatedly hitting Ctrl-C after rebooting to get a CFE prompt. At that point I was able to manually flash the router with firmware and revive it. Maybe there's a tool available that would possibly do something like that with the android box?

Also possible I guess that something in the hardware is toast and it's just a paper weight now. Anyway, any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Tasker-toggle "media audio" in a bluetooth device profile with screen off and locked

My issue is the following - after the recent software update on my phone (Meizu 16th, non rooted), I have found that I need to toggle (in my car's bluetooth profile) the "media audio" button off and then back on once my car Bluetooth connects to my phone (which switches the media audio on by default).

If I do not do this, I cannot play media via my car's speaker system via bluetooth connection. See attached pictures.

Is there a setting which I can use in Tasker to directly toggle the media audio?

Although I would prefer to do this directly using Tasker, I have tried using Autoinput.

With the screen on Autoinput performs the task (go to Bluetooth settings page and a do a series of clicks on x,y location and back to home screen) as intended only 50% of the time successfully. Autoinput does not work with screen off/locked which is not ideal.

I would like to perform the task while the screen is off.

Please help.

Thanks.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] orbital247:
Hi all,

Can anyone help my sanity with a simple camera test?

Check the photos attached, i'm placing the phone on my desk on the same pencil mark and ensuring it's square with the side of the desk i take a picture of the (also squared up with the desk) computer screen with horizontal and vertical lines.

The Pixel 3 skews the picture very heavily whereas the OnePlus 6T, Essential Phone and Pixel 2 does a little.

Is this something that is present on all Pixel3 handsets (this is my second and its the same with both)?. It means i have to hold the Pixel3 at an angle to get a level photo

If someone else could test preferably against another phone for a comparison i would really appreciate it?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] chowhoundb:
Turn the grid lines on in the camera app so you can see if the image is skewed on screen, or only after the photo is taken.

I tested with my 3, and the grid line shows a level image, and so does the photo taken.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] orbital247:
The gridlines in the app is a great shout, see attached photo, i can get it show a level image but i have to hold the phone at an angle to do so.

Edit - same photo but taken with the Oneplus 6T and Pixel2 i don't have to hold those phones at an angle to line the gridline to my monitor
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] chowhoundb:
I hate to say it, but that sounds like your camera module is not mounted level on the system board. It seems very odd that you would have this same issue on 2 devices.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] orbital247:
I think it's more related to the gyroscope or orientation sensors of the device, the fact it's happened on the second device has thrown me quite a bit. I wanted to check if it was prevalent out there and maybe people have adapted unconsciously.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] samnada:
Don't see how the gyro would be involved. The camera is fixed, so it's orientation to the body isn't dependent on the gyro. Checked my 3 and it's a deg or two off, but not as much as in your top photo. I use the grid lines for photo alignment so not a big deal at all for me. I have the same issue on my Sony NEX5N camera and it's actually worse than my Pixel 3, so not just a phone thing.
[Magisk] ChompDroid126:
This sounds incredibly dumb but would magisk installation work without TWRP or a computer? I need to just find a stock boot image for my ZTE Smart First 7 and download the latest zip.

The reason I wanna root this phone is I can customize it to my liking and permanently remove the Vodafone bloatware yet doing that is pointless.

Can anyone comment with their best response?

Thanks
[Magisk] madbat99:
You need to be able to unlock your bootloader which usually takes a PC. or another Android device with ADB and fastboot on it and the right cable. how do you plan to flash the altered boot image without a device to issue fastboot commands?
[Magisk] mklmkl:
I had the problem with a Teclast X98 tablet where no TWRP is available. But fortunately the tablet could be rooted with SuperSU. After rooting I could install Magisk Manager, give root rights, and let it install Magisk (direct install). Afterwards I deinstalled all remains of SuperSU since I wanted to use Magisk.

Maybe it's an approach that works for you. Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Kaizen-85:
Hello,

Recently I have rooted my samsung galaxy J5 SM-J500F phone. Next I opened OEM and enabled USB debugging, and then flashed TWRP with Odin. All went well, made a full backup (i.e. all the options were selected). I have stored the files on my PC, and then foolishly closed the OEM and USB debugging. Some time after I restarted my phone and I was met with the "Custom Binary blocked by FRP" screen. I could not boot into recovery, the only screen accessible was the download screen. I have hunted for a few firmware files, tried to flash them all to no avail. They are either being blocked by the FRP, or the "secure check fail" error (when trying to flash the PIT). I would like to

a) Repair the phone (my personal files can be deleted, no need for me to keep anything)

b) Prevent this issue for recurring (perhaps by disabling this FRP permanently in some way if possible)

Thanks in advance.

Any chinese brand TL, AL, DL i'm dual sim so i rebranded to DL version

You need to return first to marchemelo to rebrand to chinese firmware after rebranding your phone will be the same except some extra chinese applications you can uninstall

I used srktools can't find the guid now but you can search for it in youtube ot has a video guide thier
[Mate 8 General] stevemoretz:
So I'll go to marshmelo of my region and then rebrand and then install oero the only question left is in the process of rebranding do I need any network connection or it's offline?I don't have stable network and I'm afraid terrible things happen.

You don't need internet connection while debranding you will only need while updating to oreo

DL00C92

DL00C17

DL00

What's your B number if you're on nougat or if you please know oreo and marshmellow b numbers that would be great to share.
[Mate 8 General] stevemoretz:
AL10 = chinese version, unlocked

TL00, DL00, CL00 = chinese versions, locked to chinese carriers

Is this information right?I need to have root on my new version so I need to have my bootloader unlocked and install twrp...

I have my bootloader code but what is this about?Do you have root access.

Let me clearify.

Well I'm no on marshmellow of C185B200 and changed it via srktool to NXT-C900B200 now it seems as the video that I should install the marshmellow version of the Chinese rom right?So I need that Chinese rom please search on your firmware finder and give me a name to download or a link anything.

I need my phone to be later rooted I don't understand the above sentense locked to chinese carriers.That's about root or it means my sim card won't work?I need them both.Please guide me.You're great.
[Mate 8 General] stevemoretz:

[Mate 8 General] M.abdo:
First sorry for late reply

My device is on DL00 (C17) and yes your device will need the chinese version to fully rebrand

For root and twrp you can do this using srktools also

Just do like the video shown and you will be fully rebranded and to be able to update to oreo

Don't forget after rebrand to restore stock recovery to successfully update your rom

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
Well, after receiving an amazon gift card for Christmas, I decided to bite the bullet and get one of these battery cases.

It should be delivered by Friday and I should be able to give it a good test the following weekend when I spend the day in Manhattan.

I have a great 10000 mah portable usb c charger that I've been using since my 2xl days, but it would be nice to not have to keep that in my pocket when I'm out and about.

I don't really need a case like this as most of my days are spent rather close to somewhere that I can charge up in a pinch. I've got chargers all over my house, in my office at work and I'm always plugged into Android Auto when I'm in my car.

But there are times that this battery case might really be nice and since I had the amazon gift card, I figured why not.

How's everyone liking this case so far?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] superchilpil:
I'm not going to get it, as much as I'd love a batter case the fact that you lose functionality while using it is a deal breaker. I used Android auto and the wired pixels buds daily. The fact that it doesn't have some sort of pass through function is mind boggling.

Also looking on Amazon there's at least 5 separate cases that are exactly the same which is suspect to me. How do you know that zerolemon is the original manufacturer and not just a rebrand or even worse a seller just selling the rejected models that didn't pass QC?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xXxWOExXx:
For some reason my led view cover isn't recognized anymore when the s9+ is running Pie.

I've already tried lot of different things:

Wipe cache

Factory reset

Clean install via Odin

Clean Oreo via odin and ota to Pie

Clean Oreo and smart switch update to Pie

The cover is working just fine on Oreo and is instantly detected by the phone, but as soon as I update to Pie it suddenly stops working. No time on led, the led symbol editor does pop up on the App screen and the auto lock/unlock when the cover is closed or opened doesn't work anymore.

As far as I can remember the cover triggered the "get matching theme" notification after first boot. Kinda weird it doesn't trigger for you guys ssince it doesn't require NFC or anything else archaic or odd..

It works the same, unfortunately, as in Oreo. It's kinda useless and gimmicky. But I agree. It SHOULD work since you bought it. :)
