[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] .50BMG:
I want to share this with you since it was a real pain to figure this out.

I wanted to flash TWRP in order to flash custom roms into my phone. Mine is a J730G.

When I tried to flash twrp, I got the oem block event on the download mode, i could not get past it in any way. The instructions on how to flash twrp said to enable unblock OEM on developer options, but that option was not there when I looked for it. I knew that was what was not letting me.

After searching and searching and reading and trying every method I found, trying to enable OEM unblock option... I ended up soft bricking my device. I had the screen that said "an error has occurred while updating the device software". This was after trying the magicbox method. Don't do it.

So I had a bricked phone, was not able to flash twrp, and couldn't remove the damn oem block.

I found here on XDA that I could download the original firmware and flash it via odin and it should let me. So I downloaded the android 7.0 version original rom and it wouldn't let me flash it via odin, samsung doesnt want downgrades.... So I downloaded a 8.0 Vietnamese version I found here on xda uploaded on google drive. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING IT! I am not able to post the link here since my account is new...but maybe you can let me know how to share it..

I downloaded that, flashed it via odin, and it worked! My phone was back. I just had to change the language and I was ok. But all this was to unblock OEM, so it was not over. I followed these steps I found in the beginning of my research. Make sure you flash the firmware without the sim card in just to make sure!! So after you flash:

1 On first boot up, skip everything, even wifi.

2 Go to date settings, change the date to 32 days back.

4 Go to update settings, turn off auto updates.

3 Reboot

4 Set up wifi. Don't let the phone download too many things.

5 Check for an update manually. Phone may have set auto date again after wifi was turned on... but its ok.

6 Reboot

7 Check for manual update again. You should have 1 pending update, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT

8 Enable developer options

9 Go to developer options

10 OEM Unblock option will be there!! :D

11 ENABLE THAT MF!!

And that's it! You can now flash TWRP using odin. And from there you can do whatever you want!!

Hope this can help you and hope this method works for a while. Please let me know how to tag this post for it to be easy to find for others. I would like the owner of Prometheus Rom, ananjaser1211, to know about this! It could help his users manage to flash TWRP.

Thank you and good luck!

I copied the Chinese word you posted and pasted it into the Translate app and the output was "Intelligent search". Maybe this is referring to the search bar that emerges if you swipe down when you are in the home screen.

I tried translating in an app here at work and it came back as "Wisdom Search" so probably is HiSearch.

It is just weird the update coming in Chinese :S, since everything on the phone is in English, i didn't bought it abroad, and normally all the updates come in English. But next time it will pop up i will install it and i will post what happens.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Gokulkanil:
My front cam suddenly started acting wierd. When I take selfies with sky in the background, the sky area is intemsly over exposed and when I focus the sky, the subject and everything else turns completely dark. The exposure balancing is screwed up for some reason. It doesn't matter when you take photos, the sky appears like it is flashing intense light towards the camera making the subject less visible. Even if HDR mode is enabled, the issue persists. Is it a hardware problem or a software problem?

We can clearly see the problem when compared with the results from the rear cam which works finely.

AFAIK no one ever did, starting with bepes ROMs. I could be wrong about that though, I dont use Voice Command with BT and thus dont really care about the issue and actively track it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElsaReyes:
Okay yes hi, I just bought a used Tab S from eBay the other day and I'm having a serious issue with it.

So, when I bought it I talked with the seller and he promised that everything was in perfect working order.

But today I got it, and neither the charging port, or the SD card slot work at all.

I tried taking the piece out of the tablet and put it into my old one, and both worked just fine, no problems.

So all I can figure is that maybe it's a problem with the mother board. Except, everything else is running fine, and I looked over the motherboard and everything looks fine as far as I can tell.

The only thing I notice that's different between this mother board and the one from my old tablet, is the connector where you connect the ribbon cable from the sd card slot/charging port, but it's just, under the ribbon, on the beige piece, two of the golden lines on it are still there, but like, there's something different about them.

Could two little microscopic bits like this really cause the whole thing to not function like this? I mean it just seems absurd that such a small thing can do this.

I'll take a picture of the spot if anyone would like to see it.

I'm planning on returning the tablet in a few days for a refund, but if anyone can tell me if there's like a simple fix for this I would be eternally grateful, it's taken me forever to find a tab s I can afford and my old one is constantly locking up so I really need a new one...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lytoh:
you have photos? Have you tried cleaning the connectors on the board? test using air pressure or blowing ..
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElsaReyes:
See at either end something about I guess the pins just looks off. But I'm not sure.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lytoh:
mmm I'm not an expert but it looks like that connector has been soldered to the plate ... you can see two points of welding at the ends ... surely there you have the problem ..

The two pieces of plastic at the ends seem burned .. The first connector pin seems broken ... and the next 3 moves ..

I can also see something that looks like glue un the board ... can it be? They have manipulated it in a bad way .. I would contact the seller and get the money back ..

Look at the original connector .. your motherboard has been modified.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
I just got a G9650 on ebay, but when I put my sim card in, it doesn't want to register on the network I'm using, MetroPCS in the USA. It recognizes the number on the sim, but it says emergency calls only, even after I did the apn settings. It doesn't ask for an unlock code or anything. it seems to be unlocked, just not registering. checked the imei blacklist status and it shows clear. any ideas?

UPDATE: Went to the metroPCS store and they made me pay $15 to change the IMEI of the device associated with the account. apparently it's blocked until they get their money smh it works now though
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BigGayBoy:
I'll try to give as many details as I can.

Recently I did a root, which worked perfectly fine. Didn't know what I was doing, so I looked around and downloaded Xposed and did all the steps to get it on my phone. After opening it, it asked to download additional firmware or updates or something. I agreed, and the system rebooted once it downloaded what it needed to. Then, when it rebooted, it told me that it was unable to authorize or verify, or something. Essentially it wouldn't let me back into my phone and I didn't know what to do. So I downloaded the most current firmware for my model from Updato, but it didn't seem to work. I tried doing just the AP, then doing the BL-AP-CP-CSC, tried both Home and non home versions as well. After that, if I'm not in download mode, it tries to update software, and then runs a quick string, and then repeats, which I assume is just a textbook case of boot looping.

Information on Download screen:

The last line comes after trying to use the AP only

Odin log:

Can't post links, but on Updato, under SM-G935U, the first one with 8.0.0 is the one I used.

I tried some suggestions I found looking around, like changing out the USB cable, but ultimately it didn't help and it was fine to use to flash the original root in the first place, and I have Samsung drivers installed.

I would really appreciate some insight. Appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shouffrey:
sounds like you took an OTA while rooted.

I think you're ODIN flash might be failing because you're OTA might've updated your bootloader.

You need to determine the build you're on from recovery if you can get there and make sure you're flashing a build with the same (preferably) or greater (bad if you want to go back) bootloader. The 5th digit from the right is the bootloader version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ultragliss:
First of all - are you sure the phone got rooted in the 1st place? As your KNOX seems still 0x0 you probably did not modify too much...

Anyway - something to try is to flash the stock with additional PIT file included which rewrites the partitioning from scratch. Try that one

I have done this, since I had broken my back glass I decided to replace it with a transparent one (although I'm pretty sure it's not really glass but plastic), I did like the end result, kinda, should have passes a sharpie on the white part of the battery magic sticker and removed the IMEI sticker, but It's fine I guess.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyborian:
I have automated TWRP backups on some phones using Macrodroid, but I have one phone where I can only backup System-Image and Vendor-Image, instead of System and Image.

I used this as a guide for the commands - https://greggnichols.blogspot.com/2015/12/teamwin-commandline-help.html

Does anyone know how to backup system-image and vendor-image from the command line ? I am guessing it has to do with the special partitions 1,2,3, but no examples on how to do it.

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jepminho:
Hi everyone. I just purchased 2 weeks ago a Mi mix 2 8/128 GB special edition. Upon checking the about phone in the settings, it's still on Android nougat and MIUI9. I tried to check an update thru the updated but unfortunately, there's no available update. I've learned that android oreo and miui10 were already rolled out a long time ago to mi mix 2 devices. I'm just wondering why I'm still not having this update via OTA?

I've already downloaded the miui10 package and tried to update using local upgrade. But it failed. Currently, I don't have any knowledge on flashing roms that's why I haven't tried those steps. Also my bootloader is still locked.

[General Accessories] N8falke:
Hello Everyone,

i am a proud owner of the S9 bluetooth headset and it worked very well at the beginning (1 day). Than i deletes 2 registry settings as mentioned in a forum somewhere (max bit pool stuff) to get better sound quality.

I dont know if it is the cause of the problem i got now but next day the S9 was gone in the bluetooth device list of my touch dual and cant be found anymore. the strange thing about it is that if i press the telephone button on the S9 the ms voice command icon appears and i can talk to it. also the touch dual seems to use the s9 as headset as the ring tone volume is switched to zero and the headset icon appears in the calling screen (after pressing the send button)

anyway i am not able to conect the s9 for music transfer and that is the problem if got..

any chance to delete the touch dual in the s9 settings so it allows a repairing? or somehow recovering the appearance of the s9 in the device list of the ppc?

any suggestions are welcome.. nice sunday everone

Edit:

Problem solved.. dont know how but the pocket pc found the headset finally again..
[General Accessories] HDuser:
Glad that it works again for you.

I have a Blueangle with WM 6.1 and the S9.

Can you get yours to play music and have the display off (not dimmed but off). I have found a device lock that works fine while BT is off however when BT is on and connected to the S9 it always wakes up the screen.

What Version of WM are you running ??
[General Accessories] ChiSha:
Oops, sounds like my yet-to-be-solved case.

What I have: Qtek 9100 and Jabra BT250v. Some time ago I also deleted this partnership (don`t ask why) and when tried to re-establish it again, the device kept declining the connection with the headset. The device finds the headset, asks for a password and whatever combination of digits I enter it rejects to establish a new partnership.

I guess, the problem is in registry. Anyone could help with this one? What should I fix in a registry to re-pair the headset and device? Thanks in advance.
[General Accessories] N8falke:
Ok in case anyone else got that problem i guess i know what it caused: i paired the bluetooth headset with my laptop after pairing it with the pocket pc. and although no service could be used (ms bluetooth stack) the S9 didnt use the PPC as standard music device but the laptop. after deleting the pairing from the laptop the S9 i could pair it to the ppc again.

about MDAIIIUser's problem: dont know any way of listening to music with the device turned off. i use AE Button to switch display off by double cklicking the green button or starting S2U2 by double clicking the red one. anyway, if display is switched off and i press a button on the bluetooth headset the display turns on again :( thats why i just lock the device and dont care if the display is on for some minutes in my pocket..

You have many choices and pick the one you like the most.

If u wanna stock s7 experience with some small tweak go for Alexndr Dev Base v6.0 or Galaxy Project.

If u wanna try s9 port go for by sac23 s9 port, blackperl v6 or Hyper rom v5

Many more are there to choose from,can't remember all of them.

Anyway u get a point :)

After reading miles and miles of these forums over the last couple of years, I've finally decided to ask my own questions. I really like the mini and will use it until I can get a really good deal on a mini 2.

OK...my question is this: Can the mini run hboot 2.16? I'm on mini no. 3 as I usually buy them real cheap and try to fix them (it's an education in itself,but I'm brave and have the time) and I know they're problematic. My current phone is stock and freshly unlocked, s-on android 4.4.2. If it won't do 2.16 is there an eng hboot to be had anywhere? This is probably the first of many posts and thanks in advance.

When QHSUSB_BULK did not appear, my computer recognized as UNKNOW DEVICE. but when installing the drivers I only recognized the Qualcomm HSUSB QDLoader 9008. because the android is still in UNKNOWN DEVICE. USB \ UNKNOW USB \ VID_0000 & PID_0000.
