[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BazmanFoo:
Hi Guys,

Strange thing happened yesterday. My unrooted Galaxy S8, sitting on the arm of the couch just turned itself off and wouldn't boot back up. I knew the battery had been low so I assumed it had run down. Upon plugging it into multiple chargers, I found the phone was a brick and not reacting at all. I left it plugged in overnight and when checking it in the morning I found it had booted into Download Mode. "Great", I thought, "I can work with this".

I held power and Vol Down for a couple of seconds to see if it would boot normally now, and it just powered off, totally unresponsive like the night before. I left it plugged in again and when I came home from work it was back in Download Mode. After plying with it for the evening, I've found it will only randomly boot into Download Mode after being off and unresponsive for a number of hours. Doesn't respond to any key combos when off (but keys are obviously ok as I can power down from Download Mode).

I've tried flashing the correct firmware from Sammobile via Odin but this fails every time. Odin sees the phone (COM0 or whatever) but seems to be unable to flash.

Any key combos or software anyone knows of that might help me breath life into the thing? Does Kies Firmware Recovery still exist or is that EOL these days?

I should note, I've rooted and installed custom ROMs etc on a countless number of phones in the past, but this one was untouched until I started having these issues.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Original cable?

Latest Odin version?

4tlg.Firmware?

Other PC?

There were sometimes problems with Windows 10
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BazmanFoo:
Yes, original cable. I have a second Galaxy (which is rooted) and managed to flash it using Odin fine using the exact same PC, cable & Odin so I don't think it's an issue on that side. Adding a screenshot from Odin to the original post, hoping someone may be able to help.

Thanks

Don't use the re-partition potion and avoid using PIT as those are not the cause of the phone being bricked. Which firmware are you using and what is the Sales (Region / CSC code) being displayed on download mode? Plus what is the AP SW REV line displaying as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BazmanFoo:
Thanks. Initially I avoided trying to re partition but since it was giving me a partition failure and the phone is already bricked, I thought I might as well try (didn't work anyway)..

I haven't tried the PIT yet, but last night i found this thread below so I'm going to try that this evening.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/corrupted-pit-t3602079

The killer is that every time I try to flash something and fail, I have to wait about 4 hours for the phone to boot itself back into Download Mode, which makes troubleshooting difficult.

I'm using the latest Vodafone Ireland Firmware (CRLC) from Sammobile, which is the correct firmware for this device. As for the questions around CSC and AP SW REV, I can't say I saw any info like that on the download mode screen but will check this evening and post here any further information.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BazmanFoo:
So, unfortunately the phone has now stopped even booting into Download Mode every few hours. Looks like it has just bricked itself.

Funny that this is the first Samsung in years I haven't rooted or messed with and this happens! Will try bringing it to a Samsung store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BazmanFoo:
Ok, back booting into Download Mode, everytime i try to flash any firmware in Odin, it start with Set Partition in the COM window and the below in the log:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

To be clear, I have not ticked Re-Partition or a PIT file and I still get the above. I also tried set the PIT and re-partition to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas of something to try?

Hy everyone, I recently installed lineageos on my galaxy s7, everything is ok but I can't use airdroid. I can't copy files in my phone with airdroid, the upload button is always disabled. I checked the permissions of the app and is ok for all permission.

Any suggestion?

Select the app you want.

Tap Notifications

For each of the options that have a check box, tap on the option name, not the check box.

At the bottom of the list is Override Do Not Disturb. Toggle on.

Hi,

I don't have any suggestions how it got there if you didn't install it, but if it's a system app you can disable it with adb:

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] elmerq:
Hi,

The problem is there is nothing connected to WeChat. App Inspecror shows nothing with such name...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] kam333:
Ok, now I understand.

I don't have this issue so I'm just guessing about solutions.

You could try a few things:

Turn off your phone & clear cache using recovery.

Install WeChat, don't open the app but go straight to the app info and clear data & cache, then uninstall.

Or try this app:

Unplugged no charger:

The phone does nothing..

Tried:

Volume up + bixby + power

Volume down + bixby + power

Volume up + power

Volume down + power

Plugged in charger

The emergency blue screen pops up for 1/2 seconds then screen goas black.

Download mudus works for 1/2 seconds then screen also goas black.

The emergency screen often pops up by it self and then it goas black

Tried:

Buying a new charging cable

Tried to install the stock rom using odin v3.12

Even tho the screen goas black after going to download/odin, odin says it is connected.

Then odin gives this result:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] saszynski:
Fault "<ID:0/003> boot.img.lz4" its caused by odin 3.12.

to solve it you have to use odin 3.13

Also make sure you have latest software especially bootloader.

good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ronv18:
Hi thank you for your reply!

I've updated my odin to 3.13.1 now.

Altho I cant seem to get the phone in download mode anymore

The error I'm getting now is:

Bootloader exception.

I dont think I'm able to flash it still this way

If anyone have a solution for this I do appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] benjamen50:
Bootloader exception, try holding Power + Volume down + Bixty button for a long time 15-30 seconds until you get a light blue download screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ronv18:
Thanks for helping Benjamen, I've tried this and the screen went black.

I've seen alot of people have this on galaxy s7 or older devices.

Their solution is to hold home button and then after that powe+ volume down + bixby

this will get them in download modus.

But galaxy s8 doesnt have a home button.

I've tried to flash the pit file using odin this made my phone reboot and it said "Panic kernel download mode"

Hello,

Possessor of a A3 Sportback 8P of 2009, for which I have neither GPS nor Bluetooth (that it is of the AD2P or simply for the telephone communications), I wish to replace my current car radio by a system that embarkes all, Android type to get more multimedia features and Bluetooth phone (I currently have a Audi Concert 3 double DIN).

I do not want Audi original mount that adds the additional box to get the bluetooth, expensive to bring this one feature. I do not want a kit Fiscon or Dension either.

I have spotted these different items, do you have any feedback or experience with this type of material?

[Android Auto General] fireburned:
Hi,

I do not know which model to buy, I have to check what subwoofer I have in the back.

On the Xtrons website it is mentioned:

"This head unit is compatible with your car's original BOSE system; you just have to connect the amplifier control cable in the ISO wiring harness with the amplifier control cable in the RCA cable.

Please note that if your vehicle has no BOSE system, but it has the audio port, you need to ask a professional technician to make some modifications of the wires connection; otherwise, your rear amplifier speakers will NOT have sound."

There is information about it here:

https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/audi-a3-8p-aftermarket-android-problems.274954/#post-3284371

I am looking for more information before deciding.

Have a good day.

Thanks for the feedback fireburned. I have Bose in my car so probably the best option my be the Xtrons. I might go ahead and bite and order it. Will let you know how the upgrade goes.

As in the title. My friend asked me to recover stuff from his Lenovo P2 with dead screen. I've already pulled out photos and other files and also managed to recover contacts but for messages, as he did not turn on USB debugging, I couldn't do much. Then I saw that at some point he had backed them up using built-in backup app. They were on the sd card in the "message data" folder. The file is named "sms001.db" When I'm opening it using DB Browser on my PC I can see the messages. But the question it how to send them to his new phone? There's like 20k of them in this file... Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] VidJunky:
Is his new phone the same brand? If you are able to view them on your PC my guess would be that other than the .db file type they are not encrypted in any way, so simply placing them in the same file as before doesn't allow your friend to recover the messages?

Hi,

I have the Smart Lock feature turned on and set to keep my phone unlocked whenever a trusted device is connected, which in my case is my bluetooth headphones.

However, I realize that when I disconnect my bluetooth headphones, Smart Lock still keeps the phone unlocked until I manually turn off Bluetooth.

I have experienced this issue from Oreo and it didn't seem to be fixed after updating to Pie.

Is this normal operation of Smart Lock, and if it is, is there any way to configure this setting, or is this a bug?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Not normal. I keep Bluetooth on all day, since I have a Gear S3 watch. I have smart lock set to stay unlocked when connected to my Bluetooth in my Jeep and it works perfect. Once I shut off the Jeep, the screen lock goes back to normal.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] sethidheeraj06:
As the title says it all.

Can Custom ROMs affect Device's Hardware in any way?

Recently, my Device (Vince) got a defect in MicroUSB port (charging port).

Can it be due to Custom ROMs? Maybe the high voltage defined in Custom ROM damaged the port.

I replaced the port, but don't want issue again. So is it due to custom ROMs? As if it's true, then I need to stop using custom ROMs.

P.S: I never modify custom ROMs with different kernel or anything. I just use them Stock.

Any answer will be appreciable. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] aurismat:
Short answer: most likely not, check if whatever you're charging from delivers clean 5 volts.

A bit longer answer: Assuming one of the ROMs you used would allow more volts in some magical way, you'd also need a charger to give that higher voltage as well. Another factor you should take in is that there's a bunch of different vince models(MEG7, MEE7, maybe some others I don't know about) - the model number should be on the back of your device, take a look. I heard that some models are more durable while others use cheap silicon that gets defective or something like that.

In hindsight, ROMs are usually not the cause of killing charging ports; It's the device that charges them.

I'd propably check the voltage of the USB port you're charging from with a multimeter or something similar, if you have it - I've seen some power supplies go bad if they're old(but they are usually the 12v power bricks; never seen a 5v power brick go defective).

So to answer your question - no, ROMs cannot affect hardware, but they *can* add to it if you use a custom kernel. Usually browsing the kernel/ROMs thread will show if there's any issues with it.

I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).

The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).

On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).

The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).

is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?

(attached images of the device and the boot screen)
[Connected Car] Sk8man1983:
Hey mrtowel!

Trying to figure out that as well.

You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"

Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?
[Connected Car] mrtowel:
I'm talking about an Israeli version

Seems to be customized by itur@n

sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.

I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.
[Connected Car] Sk8man1983:
Hey!

Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.

Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.

So that's a progress.

Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.

Will send you a PM.

Hello, i have a Toyota corolla 2016 with "android multimedia" that have only 2 apps without google play or any apps, the startup screen is like yours.

i wan to unlock the system, someone know how to do that?
[Connected Car] mrtowel:
try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.

Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
