[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CamoGeko:
Thats not a source. The website you linked is just a collection of firmware.

If its "Official" firmware then it needs to come from either the mobile carriers directly or Samsung servers (IE... someone at Samsung is providing them).

It doesn't really specify either on your site or here saying where you got them from.

I have added several eSIM before 28th January.

(I have got the eSIM by email, so I have the date record).

I could add them, and got cell connection.

I mainly use my physical SIM.

Last week I want to use one of my eSIM, but I have found that all eSIM were maked something like "never been used" or "never been activated".

All of them could not be switched to, or removed.

I tried the "reset all eSIM" link on the bottom of the page, but it did not work.

So I have simply factory reset my phone on TWRP.

Re-adding eSIM does not work, I have reset my phone via system setting again.

Re-adding eSIM still does not work.

I have phoned my phone operator. They said I need to deactivate the eSIM before I can use the same QR code to add the eSIM again.

Today I have got a new QR code for another eSIM from another operator. However, I still cannot use it.

Please see the attachment for the QR code error.

I wonder if the problem is caused by any of the following:

1. Google ROM version (January vs February)

- I have tried downgrading, but it does not help.

2. Root / No-root

- Tried unroot-ed, does not help.

3. Factory reset by TWRP breaks something

May anyone please help... :crying:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
I have wiped and try to start from the very beginning.

I have found that the "SIM-free setup" is not there...

As I remember, and referring from this video, there should be a "SIM-free setup":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0GIfDj4hoU
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
For those looking the sim free setup is around 4:25 of the video. No need to go through the whole thing. Something got messed up on your device. So you are bl unlocked and therefore I presume you did not buy it from Verizon. I think the only option you now have is to go back to full stock, get rid of anything root, flash stock image and then bootloader lock. That will factory reset the device but leave the OEM switch active in case you screw up. I know some here say never to bl lock once unlocked but I disagree. I've done it at least a dozen times on a 5X but before the slot issues. But you have to make sure you are full stock on both partitions (I think that's the terminology) before you relock the bl. If you can't access sim free setup then it might be time for an RMA. The eSim is built in and perhaps you fried it if that is possible. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
What does RMA stand for?

It used to work in January.

Flashing back Jan update should give me the same result, shouldn't it? ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
I have tried flashing back to stock and relock bootloader this afternoon. Still no luck...

I see what RMA is. Maybe it is my final solution...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Sorry to hear.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
Do you know how eSIM is stored?

In /data partition? Or in another partition which TWRP may touch?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
That's a really good question. I do know they are embedded in the hardware and are programmable but not sure where that program is stored or even how they are programmed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
My esim says the same thing everytime that I switch back and forth. I just switch to the esim and it works fine. The physical sim I have is xfinity mobile and it doesn't even recognize it until I switch to it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
Oh yes. It said "never been enabled".

You can see from my attachment. In January there were many eSIM added.

Enabled and usable.

So the sudden change should be caused by Android or apk updates from Play store.

The changes made my eSIM not usable, removable or reset-able.

If you don't mind risking, could you try factory reset your phone, to see if "SIM free setup" is there during init?

I suspect Android does not detect the eSIM hardware, so the setup option is hidden.

Thank you. You give helpful clue!;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
I am hesitant to do that as I got my esim working for tmobile using the backdoor method and for some reason are cracking down on esim activations now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
I want to install an older version eSIM manager to try if it works.

However, eSIM manager is an internal app.

I have no idea how to replace it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Have you tried just installing an older version? apkmirror.com

https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=esim+manager
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
Not allowed to downgrade.

I have tried to remove it but it said:

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Yeah, just tried it and failed too. I don't believe that is the cause of your problems though. Perhaps rooting, unlocking, something along those lines just did the mess around with your eSim? If you are rooted why not uninstall the app with Titanium or something. Personally, I'd just get a new device if you can. If you bought it 3rd party you might be out of luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
Since 28th January until I tried to use eSIM last week, nothing is done except flashing the official ROM (and flashing TWRP and Magisk again).

So I highly suspect it it related to eSIM manager.

It seems to be silly to ship back for exchange if the problem is due to software issue.

I am in Hong Kong. Electronic items could not be shipped by country post service. DHL or Fedex is needed $$$

I have tried removing eSIM manager with Titanium. But I cannot install the old version after removing. I wonder if I can modify the apk to be Magisk systemless module :D

I will wait for March update... Hope it will solve everything...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] y2kbugleung:
I have been wondering why everyone in the world can input a string to activate eSIM (besides of scanning QR code).

I have scanned the QR and see what is in it.

For the CSL one (one of the worked ones last month)

LPA:1$csl.prod.ondemandconnectivity.com$XXXPWSRWS1NWUXXX

For the Smartone one (the one I want to activate now)

LPA:1$sma.prod.ondemandconnectivity.com$XXXFF0XXX7BFXXX045XXX4A9XXXCC0XXX803XXXA88XXXFC3XXX3C9XXX102XXX3

Both of them shares the same domain: ondemandconnectivity.com

They differentiate themselves with the sub-domain name.

I wonder if this domain is owned by an international organization...

Connecting to https://sma.prod.ondemandconnectivity.com or https://csl.prod.ondemandconnectivity.com/

they give SSL certificate error.

I suspect this is why Android refuses to connect to the server and obtain eSIMs.

I have experience using public wifi network which requires login.

When outdated SSL certificate is used, Android refused to connect.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] edwinmmxv:
Maybe it's some silly bugs in the newest Google Euicc APK, so first I'd recommend root your phone and downgrade to the version that once worked.

However, a more likely possibility is that your carrier's eSIM profile contains certain policy rule like "It cannot be disabled".

If that's the unfortunate case, then no other eSIM profile can be ever activated. Also you are not able to remove that profile.

Reset/Re-flash the OS/ROM won't work either, because that profile sticks in your eSIM chip, which is a totally separated hardware component to the MCU NAND where your OS is installed.

The best hope is that you could contact the eSIM operator and ask them to "unlock" your phone.

The worst possibility is to get your phone replaced.

[General Questions and Answers] Strabobski:
Hello, some time ago I rooted my device and installed a custom ROM. But since I've learned about the app GravityBox and it's functionalities, I've been wishing to go back to my device's original firmware, so I can use the app without fearing malfunctions. But I don't want to lose root access, nor TWRP during the process.

Back when I rooted my device, I found out that the latest versions don't have the option to allow bootloader disabling. I had some difficulties, but in the end I rooted the device by downgrading the firmware to a certain version that still had the option.

Now I've already downloaded the oldest firmware version available in Asus Zenfone Go Bios and Firmwares Official Page - which has the bootloader option - and passed it to the SD Card (same I had to do to install the Custom ROM). But that's about it, I haven't proceded any further for not knowing for sure what to do.

Device's info:

- Zenfone Go - ZC500TG/Z00VD

- Original Android version: 5.1 - Lollipop

- Current Mod ROM: Android 7.1.1 - Nougat

- Rooted

- SuperSU

- TWRP

- Xposed Framework

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] P650SE:
I think it would be a good idea if we assembled a list of Android Pie ROMs that have support for encryption. Currently I am only aware of MSM Xtended and AOSiP that have support for encryption on Android Pie. I have not had chance to test all of the Android Pie ROMs myself and would appreciate feedback from other users who have checked to see whether encryption works.

Personally I think a lot of developers are too easy to dismiss encryption as not being necessary. For those of us with devices with an unlocked bootloader, we are left in a particularly vulnerable situation in the event of our handsets being stolen. For a criminal with moderate knowledge (or even just Google search) they can easily boot into recovery and delete the locksettings.db file from /data/system/ to remove your lockscreen and fingerprint protection. Then they have access to EVERYTHING on your smartphone including personal pictures, website logins and most importantly in some cases, payment methods. This is something that is not taken seriously by a lot of users and I would NEVER consider using a bootloader-unlocked phone without encryption.

Therefore I urge people to be more aware of the security risk posed by using your device without an encrypted data partition, and I feel our developers should try to focus on adding support for encryption into their Android Pie ROMs as soon as they're able to do so.

Hi

I ripped some xt9 files from an original ASUS P750 ROM to use it with my HTC StrTrk aka Dopod S300 aka Qtek 8500 aka... because the ASUS P750 has the right key mapping.

I got it working and just tried to make a cab file for easy install. But now i am running into great problems. I reflashed the ROm to try a clean install of the cab and there is somthing wrong. I only tried it with the german files:

1. dehpd.kdb
2. DElsUN_xt9.ldb

This files are copied to windows directory of the phone. Then i used a registry editor to set the following key/values:

Key: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
String: Available Language
Value: 0107,0109,0119

Key: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KDbFiles
String: 0607
Value: dehpd.kdb

Key: HKLM\Software\tegic\eT9\LdbFiles
String: 0107
Value: DElsUN_xt9.ldb

For one time it seems top be work but with the clean flashed rom it won't work. Did i forgot to copy some files or forgot som registry entries???

Could anyone help???

The ripped files are available here:
