[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] nmportland:
Thank you for sharing this information with us! May I ask how much did the IMEI writing service cost you? Could you possibly refer me to them? I opened that "Taobao" website but it was all in chinese; couldn't even search for anything in English, nothing came up. I'm very glad to hear that all is working fine! Did you try to flash a new ROM or anything after the service? I'm worried that might get the IMEI removed again or something; not sure though. I didn't mean to pry on your information but I put your IMEI "in the attachment screenshot" on a website that shows the IMEI information and it's for a Samsung S10+ and that's what showed up:

Which is a good thing! I was so surprised that it was an IMEI of a Samsung S10 put into an S10+ so I checked. Please let me know how much they charged you if you don't mind. Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] v1nhnguy3n:
Hi, I would like to say sorry that I can't find the service on my old account, it seems to be frozen right now maybe due to Taobao's policies. The service cost me around nearly $99. They used their own tool (not Z3X or Chimera) and suprisingly my phone don't get KNOX stripped, Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass is working normally. Before I got my phone's IMEI repair, I have flash G975U1 in order to get rid of Samsung Retail Mode. I have done some research on Taobao for the service on my new account but it seem like the service is down.

EDIT: I check on imei.info and it show up G973F with Green Version. After read your post, I'm suprised that it matched the model number and also the color of my device
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dcperdue:
This is why you never ever put your imei online. Its a big business selling us based imei's overseas. And yes all you need is to flash the u1 firmware for the device and buy an imei from another country. Chimera is a paid app to rewrite an imei as well as sim unlock and a bunch of other ****. The app costs money tho.

All a live demo unit is is just a phone with no imei written to the device and a custom firmware that disables all the modem functionality and some other stuff.

How about guys, I tell you, 2 days ago, I bought a sm-n975x and a sm-n985f / ds the 2 demo units, I removed the demo, I flashed them, I rooted, I bought chimera and I changed imeis, but nothing, it does not give signal , I miss the idiot with these models :)

forgive my English, I'm from Spain.

solo me faltaba flashear con odin archivo efs correspondiente a cada modelo.

conseguido en s10 ldu, note10 ldu y note 10+ ldu, pero no encuentro archivos para flashear efs eng para note 20 ultra, si alguien los tiene me lo podría pasar?

I have tried different fw but all in vain. Also can someone help me understand the difference between U8 and S9 fw.

a mi también me pasa siempre al querer instalar un firmware stock la primera vez para pasar de g975x a g975f, lo vuelvo a flashear con un firmware mismo bit, anterior y me suele ir bien, un firmware anterior y si no funciona uno superior. y flasheando con archivo CSC en vez de HOMECSC
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sharjeel.019:
I guess your phones are at LDU flag 1. That might be the reason they are not able to catch the signals.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hargreaves:
Hello, I have bought and sold a few phones and flashed custom roms, run adb and fastboot etc. So although I class myself as a noob I do have some experience.

Well I recently bought a Huawei Enjoy 5 that will not boot into Android thinking it would be a nice little project, the seller said he tried to flash ios onto it and in the process deleted the system files.

It will boot into the bootloader and stock recovery and I can use adb and fastboot. If I just press the power switch it will boot to a splash screen and stop.

The bootloader is unlocked.

The model is Huawei TIT-TL00

The Build Number is TIT-TL00C01B133

I can't find a vendor country but assume it to be UK or EU.

There is not an awful lot of info for these phones but I did read they are similar to other models, Honor 5X Play, Holly 2 Plus and Y6 Pro but I don't want to flash the wrong rom.

I have managed to download a few stock roms but not C01B133. I have B122, B132 and B202h which are all for that model. But I read downgrading can hard brick them.

I also read that to flash the rom you have to extract the zip and then look in the extracted folder for the UPDATE.APP file. I can't find that file so think I am doing something wrong but I'm not sure what.

Any help would be great. If I can just get the UPDATE.APP file I would try to flash the rom but I don't know where to look.

Many thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hargreaves:
Amazingly I managed to flash a Rom on this tonight. B203 official Rom. Extracted all the files and although they looked nothing like the files everyone describes I installed the dload folder onto the sd card and gave it a go. It flashed a Chinese Rom with all sorts of bloatware but no Google so I assume it is for the Chinese market. And the time on the screen was Chinese time. Luckily there was an English option to select so I spent some time setting it up. However it won't recognize any SIM and I'm not sure why, but at least it's running Android now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hargreaves:
Unfortunately I couldn't get any further with this because when I installed the rom it relocked the bootloader. So unless someone has any success getting them unlocked then I'm stuffed.?

Can I go back to stock rom rooted with SuperSU and if so, how?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techyrock:
1) Download the Stock ROM for N910V

2) Got into Download (Mode Power + Home + Vol Down)

3)Flash the downloaded firmware via Odin

4) Reboot

5)Repeat Step 2

6)Flash CF Auto Root for N910V Via Odin

and you are done

Note: This is all only possible if there is a CF Auto Root for N910V or of there are other methods of rooting N910V but since you are already on custom I am guessing there is
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loopin3r:
Thanks allot. I will give it a shot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
You might want to flash a "safe" firmware instead of the official one. If you use a non modified firmware it's going to lock your bootloader again and you'll have to do the bootloader unlock procedure again.

Link to safe firmware- this one has the bootloader removed so it won't lock your phone again. Flash that file in Odin and then flash this file using Twrp.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loopin3r:
Glad I waited, thx for the info and links.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emassy:
Can I just flash this file if I want to unlock Bootloader? I mean like download and flash this safe firmware via Odin, will that unlock ? my Bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
No, unfortunately not. The "safe" firmware doesn't contain the bootloader (aka the aboot.mbn). Therefore it won't replace your currently locked/unlocked bootloader so no changes would take place either way. So whatever state your bootloader is in before you flash the safe firmware is what will remain after flashing.

I don't know if I'm making this more confusing for you or less. Let me know if I need to explain that better.

Hi Tom, very modern look to your new rom, congratulations.

I´d like to know if u are taking in consideration the memory leak that usually happens in the Wm 6.1 roms.

You could put the new build of Htc task manager with big icons and with this new look, and UC capable.

And finally, if a rom has your name in it, it´s gonna be good. :)

Looks great, the only thing i would say is that please keep performance in mind when making this new ROM, as with B&B 5.0 it often slowed down and crashed.

Tom, can you include a small utility to change the phone automatically to vibrate when we have a meeting and change it back to normal when the meeting finishes?

Another idea, change the cube aspect to resemble the iPHONE, like you can see in this ROM for P3600 Trinity http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=379051, he calls that iFonz.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Computernaut:
I will soon be getting an LG G3 and I've heard that it's best to get a different ROM for it, so I have three questions (in order of importance):

1. Should I get a Custom ROM for it? I've never done a procedure like this before and with my luck I'll end up wrecking something and/or have a very frustrating time.

2. If I do get one, which one should I get? I would like it to be similar to the existent one but I'm not too picky.

3. If do need one and pick one, what's a good guide to walk me through the apparently rather confusing and nonsensical process? I've found a few and they all seem very different.

Just wanted to share this very direct comparison I found on YouTube, directly comparing the Snapdragon 855 to the Exynos 9820 both running on S10 software. Really not looking great for Exynos in relative comparison to the Snapdragon at least for the S10. Let me know what you guys think about this comparison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgRnbm9wrzg
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
1. Will that translate to real world? We all know the grain of salt to take with benchmarks.

2. That's as good as it gets for SD, exynos will have custom kernels that could improve performance.

Not to mention the exynos could have an edge on battery. I'm not worried a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Low_Key_Slaps:
I am also curious to know how this translates. The guy who created this benchmarks specifically states its supposed to translate to real world performance pretty well, but that's taking his word for it. We will see.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Outbreak444:
1. That depends on the user. Nobody really cares about a phone talking an extra second or two to open an app but if it's work related then your time wasted is money lost.

2. There are Snapdragon variants with unlocked bootloader's as well.

3. It doesn't. There are videos on YouTube you can search for.

Do you happen to know which regions/models specifically will have an unlocked bootloader? How much development do you think we will see for those few models?

People are talking about cancelling preorders... Kneejerk reaction, or justified? Hard to say, but I do know Samsung set loose the very first update of many. Perhaps it'll shrink the performance delta.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace42:
What we've been shown won't necessarily translate to "real" usage. The iPhone XS blows just about everything out of the water. Despite that, certain Android phones match it in silly speed tests.

The average consumer uses social media, YouTube, navigation, browser, and streams music/movies. Considering how well these run on budget phones I'm certain the 9820 will meet - if not exceed the expectations of buyers. Now... the area everyone wants to know about is efficiency. Will the SD or Exy take the crown this year? :D

I can't post it because I'm new but Look at this one "Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus vs iPhone XS Max - Speed Test!" by XEETECHCARE, how can such "slow" chip defeat the XS Max most of the time? If Exynos is so crappy why does it still beat it?

Still no videos about the SD version against the iPhone, in theory it should beat it even harder, but I started to think that the power settings they use on the Exynos are more conservative, at least I hope that's the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Low_Key_Slaps:
