[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tengen31:
Oh well you didn't say re- flash. I thought you wanna to get the firmware on your on
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] YrrchSebor:
Yep, you can flash the AT&t firmware onto your unlocked device. You would have to download the firmware and then flash it with Odin, you can check the general section to learn more about this and we here can help you through it.

The other thing I was wondering is that I assume that FirstNet works on the AT&t firmware. Technically your phone will still not be an AT&t phone according to its IMEI number, but firmware-wise it will be just as an AT&t phone after you flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jgruberman:
I understand. So get ODIN and the AT&T firmware and just flash? I've done rooting before so familiar with ODIN for the most part, just wasn't sure if I needed a specific firmware version based on having an Unlocked device or not.

And to your wondering thought, FirstNet does work on the AT&T firmware and they WOULD still recognize my phone as an Unlocked device(by IMEI) as per the FirstNet tech support agent I just spoke with. However, I'm hoping that having the firmware would make the device more compatible with the FirstNet service
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] YrrchSebor:
You just need the latest AT&T firmware that you can find(BRK2 I believe, unless the latest pie firmware has already been posted somewhere), and you will need the patched version of Odin that will allow you to flash a different firmware than your device came with. It seems like AT&t firmwares can be hard to find for some reason but there was this thread which has not been updated I don't think: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/stock-official-attoding965usqu3brj5-s9-t3866823. But it looks like that would at least get you over to AT&t firmware and then you could get OTA updates up to current hopefully. You might want to ask in that thread for further instructions on firmware and how to flash everything properly. You would want to use CSC instead of HOME-CSC, to wipe and fully set up the phone, and there is something which I don't know about called USERDATA, which I think might need to be found and flashed also.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] wins_li:
Hello, and especially to moderators,

I just registered and don't have permission to post on developer forum. Could the moderators help to remove that restriction? Please also look at the following question:

I want to ask a question on zImage generation for MSM8953 (Z Play).

From Qualcomm, it is clearly of arm64 architecture. By inspecting Makefile, I see only for 32 bit arm the build generates zImage, and for 64 bit it generates only Image and Image.gz.

But if we unpackbootimg the lineage or Moto official ROM’s boot.img file, we always see zImage file, and using Ultraeditor we see the binaries start with “00 00 A0 E1 00 00 A0 E1” sequences.

I have tried to replace zImage files with my (Image or Image.gz) and boot with “fastboot boot boot.img”, but always fail. I suspect this is due to I am not in the same format as zImage, but is confused because the Makefile has no provision for zImage on arm64.

Could you give some advices on this?

Hey,

I have this phone already 3 years and the battery starts to drain quite fast.

I know it's time to change the battery, but I live in Israel and they don't sell this phone here anymore, hence I won't be able to buy battery replacement for this phone and someone to open the phone up and fix it in.

Amazon also isn't an option for me as they don't do shipping to here.

Anyone know what I should do?

Is there a reliable genuine battery for this phone on ebay that can perhaps ship it to my country?

Thanks in advance
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
buy a new phone changing this phones battery is a pain in the ass. Lots of glue involved i got a wood backed one with weird dark spots in the lcd it has 0 battery life and actually doesnt last long enough to do anything safely in twrp....

Incidentally i need a method to flash magisk without using twrp and a method to update twrp without fastboot or i could spend 40 dollars on this phone to get the ifixit kit to replace the battery and hope i dont destroy the ribbon cables.

I skipped the ifixit kit and got my heavy duty plastic faux wood back off. while a oem battery would have been nice I can't justify 40 on my old phone I grabbed just a battery for 14.

Aliexpress ships that battery to Israel.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I think the ifixit kit was for those who need the tools as well. They also sell just the battery for $32.99 which is around what I paid for mine on eBay. Mine is still going strong after 7 months. Let us know how the $14 battery treats you and the link to it.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear S3] angelus errare:
I'm having this issue too. Ive tried reinstalling everything and resetting the watch. Nothing seems to be fixing it. Looking at the reviews of the alt-barometer app in the Samsung store seems to suggest the issue is widespread.

Same problem , too. Last update 14.2.2019 :(

[Samsung Gear S3] paggps:
Same problem here after Tizen 4.0.
[Samsung Gear S3] Mad_Lion:
Same problem. Also affects Hiking Activity in S-Health on the watch. (It can't detect altitude so whole activity is broken showing "0km walked", "--" instead altitude and wrong calories). Tried every combination of reseting watch (with and without backup restore), reinstalling wear app and all plugins on phone and reinstalling altimeter app on watch. Even reflashed firmware via NetOdin. Also tried disabling adblock on phone in case some url gets blocked. No difference).

I'm also starting to think this have to do with predefined altitude server altimeter is contacting being down and not responding.

I had enough fiddling with this but if someone is determined they can try downgrade back to 3.0.0.2 to see if problem persist. Or try debugging the watch to see what is actually happening behind the calibrate request. Maybe even use packet sniffer.

[Samsung Gear S3] Lubos1:
It must really be a widespread problem. The same here after the update to Tizen 4.0.2. I have made several hard resets of the watch, the only thing I have not done is phone hard reset. Not going to suffer this not knowing if it helps. I was solving more problems, so I have made several hard resets of the watch. For instance, SOME of the incoming calls were not vibrating on the watch. But after the first hard reset after the update the altimeter started working the second day I think!!! I thought it was really an issue connected with unavailibility of a server somewhere. I was solving more important issues, so I have made other hard resets and since then the altimeter jut won't work...

[Samsung Gear S3] Lubos1:
I had the same experience today. At 1 a.m. of our local time (Europe) I got one calibration but since then - nothing. It makes me believe that the problem is not in our watches or phones but on the side of a server somewhere. Were they testing something?

It seems that reinstalling the app would help. I have done it, and for now it's all good :)

[Samsung Gear S3] GOTO_GOSUB:
Another +1 here - I have just discovered that my S3 Frontier is doing exactly the same thing. Uninstalling the companion app on the phone and reinstalling it hasn't worked for me, the intermittent nature of it (based on previous posts) would suggest some back end network issue at the end of whoever provides that data.
[Samsung Gear S3] juliospinoza:
As I posted before, same happened to me the first time after the update to Tizen 4

I had to turn location to high accuracy and had to go outdoors, and after 4-5 tries the altitude is calibrated and working perfectly now. One thing I noticed is that you need to set your phone location on all the time with at least "device only" option.

Seems that the data is provided by the android location services, not by your data/wifi; in this case you need to have the location on with "device only", seems to solved my problem, BTW I havent noticed more battery drain than using "battery save" mode.
[Samsung Gear S3] GOTO_GOSUB:
Thanks for this tip - I missed your earlier comment so repeating it here again is useful and does seem to provide a work-around. Have a "Thanks" on me.

Since this is a recent change I wonder if Samsung got their device class confused and are trying to get the watch to aquire a "true" GPS fix rather than using the phone if available, but got it wrong with the latest build so now the watch has acquired a dependency it didn't have before.

My S3 has Wi-fi (but turned off) and no carrier / network (ie mobile phone) support and that used to work perfectly well with my phone's location services set to "High Accuracy" over the Bluetooth link which should surely be enough for any non mission critical consumer device since that uses network location, Wi-fi and GPS. I can see why someone might want a high degree level of accuracy on their watch but then surely the watch should be acquiring GPS itself which is why I wonder if Samsung were trying to be smart and got their wires crossed.

I will check out the battery usage implications of restricting my location to GPS at a later date, but I am mostly indoors and a) don't use the altimeter all that much and b) won't get much of a GPS fix in the concrete and steel bunker that is my office so I am expecting it to be an absolute battery sucker.

Thanks again for the tip about changing the location services on the phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] juliospinoza:
My S3 is exactly the same as yours, and I dont have wifi or GPS on either, it gets the location straight from the phone, I checked it and when I go to altitude on my watch I can see that the icon of "searching location" goes on in my phone.

I am pretty sure that the GPS of the watch doesnt work by itself because I use it to run everyday (with my phone) and is tracking the metrics and altitude just well, also the location is locked and working, I run 5kms per day and I get 3 and a half days of battery and when I run with the watch alone I can get 1 and a half day (cause GPS and Spotify).

BTW, where I live/work there are no high structures or buildings miles around, maybe it means faster location.

Regards.

Android Version: 8.0.0

Baseband Version : N950FXXU5CRK4

Kernel Version : 4.4.111-13688770-QB20819043

the problem:

Everyday the phone restarts randomly, in the beginning it was 2-3 times by everyday, i tried to wipe cache from recovery mode, it helped little bit, so now it restarting once a day by himself.

i checked if it have some connection with installed apps, deleted some of them in safe mode, installed eset anti virus to check if there is virus, but everything looks okey,

what you recommend to do ?

the solution that i was thinking about is to make a factory restore and as result of that to get indication if it was something with the software or if it keeps so its something with the hardware ...

p.s

i got the bug report if needed

Thanks for the help!

Hello all :)

I've searched but I brought some marsmellows if you should decide to flame me anyways... (I hope not! ;) )

When I got my Tytn 2 in december I installed the GPRS monitor that came along on a cd. With this program you can also set the backlight and look at the battery status and - I belive it is - see the talktime.

I have always had the backlight bar set in the middle and started with having talktime around 4 hours and maybe 25 minuts when the battery was 100 %.

As time went by the talktime was only about 3 hours and some minuts at 100 % battery and I have not changed the backlight at all because I find it very nice when it's set in the middle.

So yesterday I was bored and pressed the backlight bar in the GPRS monitor and I went all the way from the lightest to the darkest mode maybe two or three times in a row.

After doing this I set it in the middle as this is where I normally have it but now to my surprise I was having the 4 hours and about 25 minuts with only about 90 % of battery...

Will this also work for you? :)

I've just remembered that I presses the backlight button in the HTC Home plugin - you know where you can go to commanager and programs... ;-)

Hello, a few days ago my zenfone started acting up (again), with built in applications crashing randomly and failing to boot half of the times. I always managed to fix it downloading the firmware from Asus' website and re-upgrate it, but this time it didn't worked out quite well. It now refuses to boot (sometimes gets stucked at boot, simetimes I manage to have asus screen). Booting into recovery prints `E:mount fail, change path to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1`, then errors about cache partiton not being found.

I've tried pretty much anything that would not result in data loss:

Wiping cache doesn't report errors, but doesn't help either,

Flashing stock boot.img and droidboot.img don't report error, but doesn't help either,

Flashing TWRP to recovery reports success, but I still get stock recovery,

Sideload fails coz it doesn't find expected mounts

Adb shell doesn't work as it can't find `/system/bin/whatever`

`adb pull /proc/partitions` returns what looks like a legit partitions list for mmcblk0 to me

Does anyone know what else I can try to rescue the data on the phone?
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
When you flash TWRP and try to boot into recovery, have you tried using adb with "adb reboot" command?

Have you tried the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command"(with the TWRP file renamed to "twrp.img")? If you can get that to work, you can temporarily boot a TWRP session and then use it to make a nandroid backup.

Have you tried creating an adb backup, as described in the link below?

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351

If you have corrupted partitions, you might not retrive anything, you might have no choice but to use an option that wipes, repartitions and flashes the device.
[Device Repair] WobLight:
thanks for suggestions,

adb backup doesn't work. It complains about /system/bin/sh not found (looks like either the partition isn't mounted or the failed update erased it).

fastboot boot doesn't work. I was messing with boot.img before, and I found out that intel's boot.img (my zenfone is x86) is not standard format. fastboot logs `creating boot image...`, I suspect it doesn't work at all for intel's. It reports 'booting OK' but the phone doesn't reboot at all.

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img returns OK but still stock recovery...

Thank you so much for helping me out with this, I spent over a week trying to fix/backup data, I was going to give up.

After backing up things properly I'll play with it, see if I can have it booting again (maybe not stock system :P).
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Be careful, this tool is built to work on a lot of different devices with different hardware and different partitioning, the differences in partitions means that it cannot create or restore nandroid backups on all devices that the tool can boot on. Some intel devices that this tool works on can create and restore nandroid backups, some can't, it just depends on how the device is partitioned. It can also be used to flash ROMs on some devices but not on others.

This tool can boot a temporary recovery session on a lot of devices but not all of them can use all of the features in the recovery that it boots.

This difference in partitioning means that trying to restore a backup or flash a ROM can break some devices because the partitioning isn't right. So just be warned, you will be exposing your device to a certain amount of risk if you try using all of the features in the temporary recovery session.

Also, this tool was designed to boot a temporary recovery session on intel devices that have a locked bootloader, this recovery session can not flash ROMs on intel devices that have a locked bootloader, it can only be used to flash devices that have an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you'll brick your device if you attempt flashing a ROM on your device using this recovery session.
[Device Repair] WobLight:
Thank for your concern, I've backed up contents of the sdcard and data partition (other partitions fails to mount) to an external SD. Ofc sdcard contents are just copy/pasted, as for data partition I've checked and looks like I can open the twrp archives from linux. I'm gonna try to clone the whole mmcblk0 before trying anything weird tho ;) .
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
You might can modify the tool itself or the TWRP .img that is built into the tool to modify it to work with the way that your device is partitioned, that way it mounts, reads and writes those partitions correctly.
[Device Repair] WobLight:
I've tried to use the twrp for z00d I have previously downloaded, I have to do some tweaking to make it boot. Even tho it looks like a newer version, console is crashing and partitions won't work anyway. Since stock recovery fails to mount cache I guess there's corruption somewhere on the device. I might have found the stock partitions.tbl, but if I manage to clone mmcblk0 to an external sd, I can perhaps mess with the image with linux and confirm whether is there's corruption.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Here is another tool that I used on an intel based RCA tablet, it might can be adapted to be used on your device if you know or can find out where the tool can be modified to work on your device.
