I tried something simulre back several months ago when I first picked up an unlocked S9 from Amazon from a 3rd party seller, was never able to get it bypassed, and even If I did didnt trust it. I ended up calling the number which was a local store number, they looked up the imei and it was reported stolen. So back to the seller it went.

If you trip knox on purpose it goes away perm. First to get rid of the problem of not being able to wipe it you have to get combo firmware use Odin to flash it in but be sure to check nand erase all on options tab and boom it's now able to be wiped. For a lot of units you're done just flash full firmware. However on some devices you have to extract the boot.img.lz4 from the ap file from full firmware file (not combo) then use 7zip to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4 now copy the boot.img to a device that has magisk manager running on it. Tap install magisk select boot.img it creates a patched boot.img in your downloads folder. Copy back to PC use 7zip to put boot.img into a tar. Put device in download mode flash new tar it in you will see an error about knox. Put back in download mode confirm knox is tripped (samsung pay and other knox stuff won't work) flash full firmware. The notice about reenrollment will pop up but once u connect to wifi itll just go through normal setup because it's no longer "fit" for knox enrollment. Boom. Any questions let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjap0_0pface:
After you do the above, you'll be able to uninstall "com.absolute.android.agent", "com.sec.knox.kccagent", and "com.planetcellinc.ressvc" from within Settings > Apps.

Then you can go into Settings > Developer Settings > OEM Unlock

***I don't think this step matters, but I did it anyway just to be sure***

Go back to adb use the "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package name>" command on everything that has the word "knox" and "enterprise" in the package name.

Then power off the device.

Hold Bixby + Volume Down while you connect phone to the computer.

This will bring you to download mode. You'll see 3 options:

Volume Up for Download mode

Volume Up for 7 seconds for Bootloader Unlock

Volume Down and Power for Cancel/Restart Phone

Choose the Bootloader Unlock option

Your phone will factory reset, but I guess since it unlocks the bootloader, it factory resets the phone to stock samsung firmware and not the rent a center controlled firmware..

You'll go through the initial setup but it will skip the rent a center knox configure step and go right into the phone as normal.

When it loads, go back to Developer Settings, double check to see that OEM Unlock is on AND grayed out, rather than OEM Unlock being off and grayed out.

This will remove all Rent A Center phone control, but I'd assume they could still blacklist your IMEI number.

Once you do everything these two do minus the dev app usage because on pie that did not work for me, you can actually flash the combo firmware and then select oem unlock, master reset, flash stock FW and profit. Just finished doing this and its easier than you guys are making it out to be. After uninstalling all the apps I could after i disabled them i then rebooted into download mode and was able to flash combo. It is literally that easy. Good luck.

Hello guys, I have an A8 galaxy for about 4 months, today while I was on call, the sound of the microphone has become detached, trying to make other phone calls, sending voice messages or recording vowels the micorph does not work. I also tried to do a reset but nothing. I put the headphones on and then off for a few minutes everything works, so I doubt it's a hardware problem. do you know how to solve? thanks in advance, sorry for my english.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
if a factory reset doesnt resolve this and it works temporarily after using the mic on your headphones and unplugging them, then its either something in the mic hole thats getting jostled around, a hardware problem thats just intermittent or a kernel issue causing communication issues between the mic and the motherboard. You could try reflashing the firmware via Odin or send it back to samsung to be serviced

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3lth4z0r:
Hi everybody,

I need to modify the source code of the bluetooth stack for android to make some custom tests.

If I understand correctly, the current bluetooth stack used on android platform is fluoride.

I'm wondering, is it possible to compile the stack without recompiling the whole android OS and building/flashing custom ROM every time I need to test a new modification....

In the source code of fluoride I see that the theoretical possibility exists, they even provide a README file explaining how to compile it on ubuntu.

However, the instructions seem to be broken or obsolete because when I try to follow the steps and compile the stack with

gen gn out/Default

and

ninja -C out/Default all

, I get some errors indicating that some files are missing (e.g. bt/common/timer.cc, bt/types/le_address.cc etc.). They are really missing in these folders, by the way.

Does anybody know how to compile and test the stack separately (let's say on Linux)? I don't think the fluoride developers build the whole system every time they need to check/test something in the code.... Do they?

Sorry if my question is silly, I'm new to android and trying to learn and understand its details.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickoe:
Yeah, I think it "should" be buildable, but I think it is mostly done for development purposes and may not be done regularly upstream.

It's being a while that I created this post. I tested many things since, finally succeded to compile but there were other problems....

As I was very limited in time for my project I finally dropped this idea and did it directly in Android stack by recompiling and building my custom ROM every time I needed to test... It's very time consuming if you don't have a powerful server to compile it faster but I had one so preferred this option.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Drizzt321:
After a bit of a struggle I managed to get this installed and working last night :)

A few things I noticed:

1) It may have been previously unlocked by the ebay seller I got it from. The official unlocker I got from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-stable-release.47170/ has other details) had issues, finally got it, at one point in time, to say unlocked even though all 3 steps didn't have any checkboxes next to them... Strange, but I finally looked at the fastboot_unlock binary that came with the unlocker exe, and that indicated it was unlocked.

2) I found 3 different TWRP to try and install, with 2 of them (I _think_ the one linked here, and the one linked at the EU community thread above) kept giving me "too large to transfer". I finally got the one linked above by the following process:

start powered off

hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot

fastboot devices

fastboot -s <DEVICE ID> flash recovery recovery.img

At this point, the screen went black except for at the upper right it said "press any button to power off", and fastboot exe is saying "waiting for <DEVICE ID>"

press a button, device powers off, leave it connected to the computer

hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot, fastboot exe should see the device and now do it's thing to send/flash the recovery.img

after fastboot finishes, do fastboot boot recovery.img

should now boot to TWRP, should be able to tap a button/screen to get into it

3) I also found I needed to perform a device wipe/reset from within TWRP before copying the LOS and OpenGAPPs zip files over. First time I tried it without wiping it had some weird install/configuration left and caused major issues upon booting LOS. Seemed to think it wasn't a fresh install, and had most of the apps keep crashing and restarting.

Huawei acknowledged a problem

It's my first time posting here, as it's the first major problem I've had with my P20 Pro over the past year. I started experiencing GPS problems after the last software update. Like others reported, they'd go away after reboot but not for long. I tried a factory reset, which doesn't seem to have helped either.

I contacted Huawei support in Canada via their website. I got a response today which first suggested I try wiping the cache partition (restart my phone, hold down the volume-up button, then you get to an EMUI maintenance screen with this option - this also didn't help any more than restarting). But it also acknowledged that there is a known issue that they are working on fixing in the next update. I quote:

" In case the issue persists, we would like to inform you that this is related to the new software update, however, Huawei is currently working to solve it. This issue will be optimized in the new version, this one is expected to be released in March. You will automatically receive this update that will solve this issue your phone is facing."

I thought you all might like to know this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
