I just noticed the 6Gb black edition is now available on Amazon from one seller "Appario Retail Private Ltd"

They seem to be the only seller with the black colour, anyone know if they are legit? googling their name returns some pretty bad feedback.

I am really hanging out to get the black version which no-one in India has sold so far.
[Honor View 20 Questions & Answers] gaurav_347:
I bought mine from them yesterday (the black variant) . It will get delivered by tomorrow. Rest assured if anything goes bad Amazon always replaces or refunds the entire amount . So go ahead and buy it.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] async-mesh:
Hello all,

I'm in a bit of a predicament. I have an old OnePlus 3t that I have not used for years. The device contains extremely important business information that I need to recover. However, I cannot for the life of my remember my lock screen pattern to boot the device. I tried to remember the password and have now triggered the messaging of "This device will be wiped after 8 more tries."

I haven't updated the phone in years, so it would be on an old version of Android. Is there any toolset that could remove this lockscreen and allow the device to boot?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
If you:

1. Have unlocked the bootloader, AND

2. Do NOT have an on-boot password set (a lock screen password is ok)

then it is possible to remove the lock screen password.

So, do you meet this requirement? If you do, then do you have TWRP installed?

Screenshot showing on-boot password request:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] async-mesh:
I thought my bootloader was unlocked, but I cannot completely remember. When I boot the phone with volume down and power, I see a OnePlus branded screen that is also asking me to swipe the password pattern. I assume this means the bootloader is not unlocked, right? If I try to enter the password on this screen, will it use up the twies that trigger the wiping of my phone?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Power+Vol down takes you to recovery. The fact that it's asking you for a password tells you that the phone is encrypted and has an on-boot password.

So, unfortunately you're not going to be able to recover the data on your phone.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
If your bootloader is unlocked, you will always see the unlocked bootloader warning screen when you power on or reboot (before it goes to any other screens.

If you do not see that bootloader unlocked warning screen, the bootloader is locked.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] async-mesh:
It is definitely locked then..

Is there any known exploit that might be available for the device? It is older and has not been updated in years... Even if there were a way to keep trying patterns without triggering the device wipe, that would be hugely beneficial.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
The security features and encryption are very secure. You won't be able to exploit these, to extract your data. They do this on purpose, otherwise it would defeat the whole purpose of data security in the first place.

If the data was important to you; you should have been backing it up. Many easy and free options available to back up your data. I'm always surprised how many folks don't take advantage of any of those backup options. Then they come scrambling over to xda once a disaster has struck, asking for ways to retrieve their data. By that time, it's too late. Don't wait until after the car has crashed, to put your seatbelt on!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sir_gpm:
If your device is rooted and had twrp, I got a file to flash and it cleans the pattern or password, it safe my life, many times. So let me know. To upload the file.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] florinellu:
Hi everyone,

As most of us that update our Mi A2 lite to Android Pie downgrade to Android Oreo.

Beside the problems with Sim swap and Sim2 not working i 've notice that in Google Play app i don't see anymore the 3 dots for everyapp, i used the 3 dots shortcut to start the install of an app before entering in its page.

Thank all and keep up the good work.

I hope someone can help with this issue because reverting back to pie does not fix it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] davis the droid:
Ahh! That isn't an issue because you downgraded, it's just the way Google Play has been recently updated (server side I believe), just press and hold on the app and it should do the same as the 3-dots button :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] florinellu:
i think now solved

Thank for feedback.

After many tries of update and downgrade i think now is ok, long night :|

I will see again after upgrade with the most recent android pie that hopefully will solve the wifi issue.

So what i did is to put the phone

not

on fastboot oem unlock or fastboot oem unlock_critical,

but on fastboot oem edl then modified rawprogram0.xml with adding dummy.img and persist.img in the specied lines from this guide https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/help/sim-card-issue-downgrading-pie-9-0-t3874350/page5 and now i have the 3 dots on the apps.

Again thank you for support.

Also, if noone has tried it yet but someone happens to know a lot about the process of unlocking a bootloader, can that person tell me wether it is safe to try using this tool? Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Geisty:
So i got the update to Android 9 on my S9 AT&T and messaging has been normal when it is to only 1 person. When I get a group message, the person who started it will have their contact name show normally, but my issue is that every other person on the message only shows their phone number, not their contact name. They are definitely people I have had in my phone forever and if I message one on one with them the contact info shows. It's just group messages that show phone numbers. If i press the number it shows their name, but just looking at the texts, I have no idea who is who (like i know phone numbers). Any fix to this?

Thanks in advance!

Use nightsight and don't move at all 3 seconds before pressing the shutter and until the picture is done.

Nightsight use motion metering and will adjust the quality based on your mouvement and scene movement.

It can go as low as multiple 1 second exposure shot to create a really low noise picture.

1- Format the phone and now when I turn it on I get "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" look for solutions but when I try to put the custome firmware when installing it in odin I jump error and in the mobile I get "SW REV FAIL (Bootloader) Device3 binary 2 "

* Sorry for the writing I am not of English language plase help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
It means you must install the latest version of the firmware with a version 3 bootloader (binary 3). Install stock firmware for your region / country with "U3", for example G930FXXU3ERKF.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
My wife works in a hospital and we used wifi calling because reception was poor.

It's still poor with Tmobile but no wifi calling. When we moved from At&t the wifi

option was greyed out. Tmobile states that it works fine on their network.

Is there any way to get a samsung s7 g930a and a samsung j7-j727a to use wifi calling

on the Tmobile network?

I'm sure it will probably involve something over my pay grade but I am willing to try

anything needed to get this feature to work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
If your current firmware has WiFi calling (Volte) You can only use Volte if the network supports it. There are however many apps you can use for WiFi calling look on the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
Not sure what volte is, I have had some other issues with the

service that I thought might be resolved by installing a

different rom

Tell me if i'm wrong

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Volte is wi fi calling over a network which the network operator supports without the need for a specific app.

Please tell me exactly what you are trying to do

What network are both phones using?

Which networks were the phones on initially?

Have you modified the phones in any way? Root? or TWRP?

What firmware are both phones currently using? Go to Settings>about phone>software information>baseband version G930A????
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
Sorry for not getting back sooner

Both phones are currently on Tmobile network

Both phones were originally on At&t network

No modification

Samsung s7 g930a baseband version G930AUCS8CRL1

Samsung j7-j727a baseband version J727AUCS4BRL1

Note: Wifi calling was available on original at&t network but is now greyed out on tmobile network
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok since wi fi calling is network specific (some have it some don't) you either need to have unbranded firmware on your phone so it works no matter which network is providing it, or you need to now flash T Mobile firmware for it to work again on your phone.

US networks are a nightmare when it comes to this sort of thing and it's a right pain in the a** to solve it. So what you need to search for now on here is how to flash different firmware on AT&T S7. You should always try to flash unbranded firmware so everything works easily, if not it will have to be T Mobile Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
Ok, If you think unbranded is the best way to go can you point me in the right direction
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
updato.com and sammobile.com both host firmware and have flash guides. SamFirmTool also is good for downloading firmware, but only lets you download the latest version and isn't as user friendly.

For unbranded you'll want to look for G930U firmware.

For best compatibility you flash all 4 files using (AP,BL,CP,CSC) this will wipe the phone clean. Otherwise you can try Home_CSC instead of CSC (So AP, BL, CP, Home_CSC) , which keeps your data but may not fully resolve your issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
What beanvee has said but I think it's worth mentioning I find Sam Firm tool pretty straight forward to use and you'll always get the firmware in separate parts which can be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
I found a link for the G930A here

I'm not really understanding the differences in firmware. How is flashing with this firmware

any different than what's on the phone right now?

I am just trying to get the wifi calling to work, How is flashing it with at&t version firmware going

to help me on the tmobile network.

I guess I don't know what I need, stock, unbranded, official or custom rom.

I checked all sites listed and there is no firmware for the J727a, alternative?

I would rather someone more knowledgeable guess what I need to do, if that is what is

necessary because the phones are no good to me without that feature. Any suggestions

would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Each carrier deploys their own CSC file, which contains carrier specific configurations, and its this file that determines if VoLTE or VoWIFI is enabled and how it connects.

AT&T may have different VoWIFI settings to TMobile, which is why using AT&T firmware it doesn't work. Some carriers outright disable it since they don't offer it.

Your best bet would be G930T firmware https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930T&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1

However unbranded G930U should also work because the unbranded firmware is meant to work on all cariers. G930A would likely get you no where since it'll be AT&T specific

The phones in the USA are all identical hardware under the hood, the only difference is the carrier branding and firmware.

But that's only for the S7, I'm not familiar with the J7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
And it's not through lack of knowledge [MENTION=9745810]JohnAtlas[/MENTION], US phones are a nightmare to do anything with. There are several options available but it's difficult to explain what to do and how to do if you are not familiar with how the software works.

There are many guides on how to unlock the software on all US networks, and depending on the network can include multiple steps to complete, you just have to search and read.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
Ok, I was able to find the latest firmware for the G930 phone

I installed odin and have the files, BL, AP, CP, and CSC or Home CSC

My question is, Do I load all files and then start or do one file at a time in odin

I tried all files the first time and got failed error and dismatch

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
That is the system recovery and when you flash with Odin you need to put your phone in download mode first press volume down+home+power. The phone should not go to that screen you have posted either before or after Odin, its a completely different recovery mode.

Get your firmware from updato. Com or sammobile

G930U, filter by USA and choose the latest XAA or USC and use the modified version of Odin. We know this works because thousands of people have used it to do what you are trying to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JohnAtlas:
Thanks for info, I used G930U TMK version since we are on Tmobile carrier

It seems to be working fine and wifi calling is available

There is no TMK version for the J727U but will try the XAA for the other phone

The way I understand it is that the U means unlocked and the XAA is generic and not carrier specific

Please advise if I'm not on the right track

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
That's brilliant , glad your up and running.

So the letter "U"after the "G930" denotes the region of the world the device is build to operate in, the Americas just happens to be U. The unbranded firmware is the one that has a region but no network assigned to it, so a 3 letter code is used instead, in your case its USC, or XAA.

Europe is G930"F" or "FD" and the 3 letter code for unbranded is BTU & XEA.

Anyway if your phone is running great on T Mobile then don't update it anymore, turn auto update off. The advantage of keeping it T Mobile is you have the wifi calling, the unbranded firmware needs more fiddling around with the get the wifi calling working on the network your using, so best to stick with what works.

I will have a look for firmware for the J7 you have to see if i can recommend doing something with it to get the wifi calling working.

*update*

So it seems the J727 is the same as the J7 in terms of the internal components, everything is the same in both models so that's great news. I think the "27" bit is just a marketing thing.

In theory you should be able to flash the latest T Mobile Oreo to your device from this link https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j7-pop/SM-J727T/TMB/download/J727TUVS4BRK1/249137/

Now before we start please check / do the following to avoid further problems.

1. Save everything you need from the phone to your pc.

2. Check that you have OEM unlocked in "developer settings" and "USB debug" enabled.

3. developer setting menu is, settings>about phone>software and information>build number>tap 7 or 8 times, developer menu should now appear. (Sometimes it's somewhere else but build number is what you want to find and tap on 7-8 times).

4. To avoid any issues with device FRP lock, delete your google account off the phone., settings>accounts>google. delete it. When successfully flashed you just add the account again when the phone starts for the first time by signing in.

5. Use the same version of Odin you used to flash your S7.

you can also use updato.com (i think it's slightly faster than sammobile.)

Let me know how you get on.

Remember J727T (TMB) is the firmware you want.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] CAVBR:
On August 8, the following Android Oreo roadmap was reported, including by XDA:

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-mid-range-phones-android-oreo-2019/

What caught the attention is that the Galaxy J2 Pro (2018) was on the list, expected to receive Android Oreo (probably version 8.1.0, with Samsung Experience 9.5) in January 2019.

We are already in February 2019, and so far, it continues to work with Android 7.1.1 Nougat and Samsung Experience 8.5.

Have the plans changed, or will Android Oreo still be released sometime in 2019 ?!
