[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jen0va:
Lately I can't seem to get my s8 to go into Dex mode. I've used this adapter for about a year and it's always worked fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078W4RXGR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xYhyCbK7D7EWR

I use an official Samsung fast charger with it.

I've never had any issue with this adapter but Dex mode started acting up a couple of weeks ago. I ordered the official Dex pad on Amazon thinking that my adapter was dead, and it seemed to fix the problem, but the problem started happening again today.

Basically, when I plug my s8 into the dock it shows the Dex logo on the phone and then the phone screen goes off. I can tell that the monitor that I'm using notices that something has been plugged into it as the power button changes from an orange light to a white light. But after a few seconds the power button light on the monitor changes back to orange like it's not getting a HDMI signal.

I've tried using a different HDMI cables and a different monitor as well as different chargers.

It's like no signal is coming out of the Dex pad. I thought maybe the USB c port on my s8 might be messed up. Anyway, I've been searching through some forums and haven't been able to resolve the issue so I'm posting here. Any ideas?

Invalid or Missing SIM card:

Most likely: You need to SIM unlock your phone. Read the Lokiwiz thread for tools and instructions.

Possible: Your device was reported stolen and blacklisted. If the Lokiwiz doesn't fix the problem, call the phone's original service vendor to see if the IMEI is blacklisted. If it is, you're toast.

Least likely: Your SIM card and/or the slot have dirt, debris, or damage. Carefully clean all contacts with a good rubber eraser (the kind made for erasable inks are best, more abrasive), and very carefully pull up on the contact pins of the slot (I like to use a 30 degree angled dental pick for this) to verify they are raised enough to push against the SIM when inserted.

If none of this works, post back. You're probably toast, though, if none of this works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baboo85:
Hi all. I'm writing here because I'm stuck.

I have a BlackView BV7000 Pro dual sim with Android 7.0 and an Invalid IMEI problem.

I killed it some times ago (here the details: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/killed-blackview-bv7000pro-t3821175) but I resurrected it. Except that both the IMEI were empty.

Why I'm stuck and I cannot change IMEI:

- in the Engineering Mode I haven't the CDS Information

- Mobile Uncle doesn't work (2.99 or 3.0), the IMEI Restore says No Support

- Chamelphone doesn't work

- Maui Meta (v9 or v10) or SN Write Tool don't work, I cannot make the phone visibile to the tools

- Xposed Framework + IMEI Changer 1.7 incredibly worked, but only for ONE IMEI (it changes both with the same) and it still doesn't work with any SIM, it still says "Invalid IMEI" on both SIM

Even the adb commands are not working, or the creation of the pttycmd1 file and its replacement (it return to the empty or wrong one at reboot).

I don't have any other options. The only one is to have the Xposed IMEI Changer to support dual sim, it's the only one that seems working...

Can you help me?

Hello everyone,

I want to make a request if someone can wear Wear OS 2 to our Sony Smartwatch 3.

I have been watching the advances of Pdesire and I am sure that it is a project that can be very interesting for many people.

Many people have SW3 yet and smartwatches like LG with similar hardware have been able to have WearOS 2 without problems.

I know it is hard work, but it is a project that would give a new life to our smartwaches.

We could talk to Pdesire to facilitate the progress he made and continue.

It is not an obligation, I only write in case some developer is interested, since it would make us very happy to the community that we still use it.

Thank you very much in advance.

I'm even thinking about getting a Lg G watch R they are arround 50€ secondhand.. only to experience Android Wear 2 cause SW3 is so dead... :'(
[Samsung Gear Sport] ozp:
I had an incident with the watch. Went on swiming pool and barbecue all day long. The water lock mode was on.

After some hours the watch turned off.

Then I started to charge it and for some reason it was dead. (red light blinking). I was able to see micro particles of water inside the back of the watch.

I placed it on rice and next day it turned on. But all sensors were dead.

Reset and nothing.

Then I left it turned off at the charger for like 12 hours and I can back to life.

In the middle of the process the update came along. I tried to install it hoping to get sensors back.

After everything the battery last about 10 or 12 hours.

Even when in "battery save mode" it wont last longer.

When I charge it, when it hits 100% instead of green light, sometimes it keep charging for a while.

I 'm not sure if the battery needs calibration or if it is something else.

I tried to *#0228# at dial and I can see battery information. But I dont have parameter to compare

What to do?

Sending to samsung is not an option. I bought it in another country and they don't offer services.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Rtap1134:
I've got a T-Mobile 6T, and I messed up. First, I installed TWRP and that went well, then I tried to install Resurrection Remix.

I wiped all of the partitions except Vendor because thats what I used to do on my OnePlus 3T, but this time whenever I would try to flash Resurrection Remix, it would give me an error. I tried and tried to fix it, and then I went to reboot into the recovery through TWRP to see if that would fix it, it just booted into the bootloader. Now I'm stuck in the bootloader, and I'm not sure what to do.

I've got no ROM installed, and no Recovery installed(I assume because I can't boot into it), and I can't get the MSMDownloadTool to detect my phone. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheKnux:
Turn off phone completely, hold volume down (or up and down, can't remember) and plug in phone to PC. MSMTool should recognize your phone now.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] parker.stephens:
To get the phone to turn on and enter Qualcomm 9008 mode, turn the phone completely off, hold down both Volume Up and Down, then connect the phone directly into the PC without pressing the power button. If MSM does not recognize the device, reinstall the drivers. If that fails, make sure you are connected to a USB 2.0 port, not a 3.0.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
Since you can access the bootloader, just flash a fastboot rom. Allow it to flash completely and reboot. Use the flash_all_partitions file.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] twinnfamous:
Just fastboot boot twrp and flash full rom zip or restore a backup if you have one.

If the bootloader is unlocked???

And flashing this kernel, nothing happen
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
If you have 47.2.A.4.41 fw, flash that and then you can try FOTA to 47.2.A.6.30.

Let me know, if you need a build of 47.2.A.2.33 kernel, which variant of xzp, if you want to test fota and cannot find the appropriate older fw.

Actually FOTA works even with devices where "drm keys" have been lost.

I've just tested that (restoring TA-unlocked to get the lost keys state) and I was able to fully install fota from 47.2.A.4.45 to 47.2.A.6.30 using my patched kernel with XZ1c.

So for FOTA it is working. And with pie, camera works without device master key (both with stock and with this unlock hiding kernel).

You would not get video image enhancements obviously, but currently there is no drmfix available with pie that would make it work, is it?

So I guess this is quite good actually (in pie case) even for devices without TA restored.

[MENTION=5327840]karrouma[/MENTION], I am not sure what you mean.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karrouma:
If you unlocked your bootloader

And you are in pie,

This patch is not working

You want a brand new device to backup the drm from oreo

And it is ok after
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Beetle84:
The kernel can be used on UB, just for updates though.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karrouma:
Yes i know

But if you don't backup your ta partion

The message when booting still appearing
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
As described above, the patched kernel enables fota system update even in case of unlocked phone with drm keys lost and the update can be installed as described.

So it is working even in the case which I originally assumed it would not work.

If you mean the "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." message displayed right at the beginning of boot - that has nothing to do with (patched or not) kernel or not even with the state of phone's TA (if it was restored after unlock with from locked state backup or if "drm keys" got lost because TA was not backed up before unlock).

That message will be there just from the fact that the bootloader had been unlocked. It is displayed by bootloader even before kernel is loaded.

Restore of TA does not re-lock the bootloader (like it has been the case with some previous xperia generations), so we cannot get rid of that message ever after unlock of a phone.

But with that message Sony suggests to (re)lock the bootloader - maybe someone could claim it to make sony tell us how we should do the re-lock of the bootloader.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
[MENTION=7836278]LazerL0rd[/MENTION], thanks for letting me know.

Just wondering, do you plan to support fota system update of stock fw as I did or is your goal just to mask that bootloader had been unlocked?

Anyway, it's good to see that my work is useful.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RJASSI21:
So if I use this kernel will I just have the same device as if it were locked but with root and that message? I'm currently having some issues with root at the moment. I'm using existenz ROM and the kernels in the thread and Snapchat keeps detecting that I'm not using legit software even though I don't even have magisk. Another thing is that if I uninstall magisk right now then my safetynet checks all fail without magisk which gives me issues with Google pay and these two problems are what make me wanna relock my bootloader. But after reading this apparently I can't even with the ta backup. So I'm mainly more concerned on a way to be able to use those applications right now and what the best possible way would be to go for it because I'm finding it difficult to find a method with or without magisk where I wouldn't get banned from Snapchat and where I would be able to use Google pay. Thanks for any suggestions it would be highly and greatly appreciated!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
[MENTION=5495778]RJASSI21[/MENTION], if you restored locked state TA and run unmodified stock fw with this kernel booted from usb via 'fastboot boot' command, you would get very close to still locked phone, but with fully working root (magisk), obviously with the unlocked warning message on boot.

I believe if you run the setup as just described, you would not have problems with apps detecting root, easily passing safetynet cts check.

The problem is when you install something like the mentioned existenz - that patches stock fw files directly and there may be processes (either in sony fw or downloaded with safetynet stuff from google or even in some apps) that discover these changes and therefore detect rooted system.

If you installed only proper magisk modules that comply with magisk system less rooting (i.e. no modifications in system nor vendor partitions) - such modules may be made hidden with magiskhide to certain apps or google's safety net check. If something simply is flashed into system or vendor partitions, it cannot be made hidden for picky processes.

That means if using only proper magisk systemless modules, you could have root and customizations, still run stock fw with verity enabled kernel booted from usb 'fastboot boot' and even allow fota system update and get it successfully installed (assuming that twrp is not flashed either, instead it is also booted from usb if needed).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RJASSI21:
Ok thank you for this information. So if I return to stock fw and use this kernel will I no longer get banned from things like snapchat?

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/help/snapchat-locking-magisk-hide-t3895685/page4

ive read in this link that its possible they detect root not magisk or the app. Also would i have to boot the kernel everytime i reboot the device? Also will i have 960fps recording back as an option and 4k in youtube?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
[MENTION=5495778]RJASSI21[/MENTION], sorry, I have no experience with snapchat or whatever that is.

As mentioned in my post above, you can get very close to locked stock particularly if locked TA was restored, including fota system update possibility.

But to keep fota system update, you would need to usb boot the kernel instead of flashing it. Or flash it and revert it before starting fota update. Same thing for twrp.

Everything is mentioned in the first and second post.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RJASSI21:
Ok so flashing this kernel would be like having a locked bootloader with root? This includes all the same features as a locked bootloader so 960fps recording and things like that. It would make it seem like it's locked and that if you put an XZP with a locked bootloader next to one with an unlocked bootloader you wouldn't be able to tell the difference?

Is that correct? Like is there anything at all that makes it noticeable at all that it's unlocked? Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to do this and then still have the same results after.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
[MENTION=5495778]RJASSI21[/MENTION], I would say so, at least in case of XZp.

With XZ1 / XZ1c you can tell the difference with use of Android Attest Key - but if I am not mistaken, that has never been present with XZp.

See "Android Attest Key lost" xz1c thread, post#98 and following posts up to post#103.

btw, could you please avoid full quoting of just last post you are replying to?

I do not think it is that useful, if the post that has been replied to is just above it, is it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RJASSI21:
Sure thing sorry about that but everything should be answered for me now. I was unaware when unlocking the bootloader that having a ta backup wouldn't allow me to relock it so I'm just going to relock it on my z4 tablet instead since I wanted to anyway. Thanks for all the help.
