You're a genius! BTW, FunkyHuawei is going to a subscription form of payment. In some repects I don't really fault FH if they are really working hard and providing a lot of support. But the price is awfully high and once you start using the service you become dependent on it, especially when Huawei releases an update. You can really start spending a lot of money if you want to stay up to date. But the main culprit is Huawei because by not allowing release of bootloader unlock code they have entirely stifled development on some great hardware.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ilovepj:
I'm surprised XDA supports these greedy guys. Usually how XDA worked is when someone finds a leak in a device. They would publish it so that the development of roms etc gets stimulated, however these greedy cartels choose to mongoose the whole thing for absurd prices..

Seriously, no one should support these practices.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] AllanRSS:
I don't get all the people tearing these guys for charging for their services. They put in the work that you have not to provide you a service that you want. If it's worth the money pay for it, if not, don't. You don't know what went into getting that product, so you don't know what it's worth.

I also don't get the incredible generosity of the talented developers on this site. They put an incredible amount of work in to generate value for other people, and it makes me wonder what's in it for them.

The thing is, xda developers has always been about the later, the devs working out of passion on projects that excite them for devices they love, who openly share their information so that even the most tech-illiterate person could adapt their phone to their needs. I don't hate the devs trying to make a buck, but I hope that xda developers will be preserved for what it's supposed to be. It's helped me alot through the years.

Where do I post for assistance with a dead phone - Moto G4 Play. I think my ssd may be doinked. Froze up today and can't boot Android and can't boot to TWRP. TWRP just gives me a constant vibration and then reboots. Tried mfastboot for a stock image but am getting write errors.

Windows says it can't recognize the device and Explorer doesn't see it but "fastboot devices" returns the serial no.

Where, what . . .

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] varxx:
I used to be a flashaholic on my last two phones, but now that I'm finally wanting to try a custom ROM on my PH-1, I'm realizing I've forgotten the procedure.

Can someone please direct me to clear instructions for going from stock Pie to a custom ROM?

My phone's bootloader is unlocked.

I poked around on the Essential forum sections but didn't see instructions. Last time I flashed a ROM, it seemed links to instructions were usually included in the thread announcing each ROM. That's apparently not always the case now.

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
Hi all. I prefer LOS vendor because of gaming performance and I think it is too smooth. But I have problem about battery. It suddenly turns off about %35 or 40. Sometimes it stays wherever it turns off but mostly it opens with %1 and closes again. My battery is dead I know but it is same on my friend [MENTION=6062859]asderdd[/MENTION] and he has newer battery. I didn't face with this issue on stock rom. It is same on all GSI with LOS vendor and LOS ROMs
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Your battery is probably not dead,maybe some solder point burned from emmc chip

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I want to leave one thing clear here. Your basis to your claim thay it might be a bad solder point on the "emmc" (actually ufs) chip is that TWRP occasionally reports data as formatted in "emmc" instead of an actual file system?

And all of these things conflict how? Your battery is read wrong?

Let's see if WesTD somehow fixes this. then we'll see.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
When i start to complain about battery,i never saw my partition as emmc anymore.Before the problems i always saw the partition showned as emmc yes. This is why i think it has to do something with emmc.

In previous years there were also problems with emmc readings,specially with samsung emmcs.

Changing battery doesnt fixed it,as westd also mention his friend changed battery and the problem didnt fixed..so i think we need to find what is wrong.

Sometimes on other rom and flashes(different bootstack),the problems looks gone,but then suddenly come back after reboot or upgrading to higher os
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shonick:
Here is what I did to root my t-mobile samsung galaxy s6:

1.	Open the developer option -> turn on “OEM unlock”

2.	Download Odin on PC at odindownload.com

3.	Download the file for my device T-Mobile (SM-G920T) at twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html

4.	Run Odin as administrator, click on "AP" to load the download tar file

5.	Turn off device

6.	Turn on device (lower volume + power + home key), then press turn volume up key to the download mode

7.	Connect device to computer

8.	Click on “Start” in Odin.

9. Run successfully.

10. Device reboot and got error "Verification failed. Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings"

11. Restart the device or "wipe cache partition" on the recovery mode, I was able to reboot.

12. Installed "Root checker", it says "sorry root access is not properly installed on this device"

with the error at steps 10 and 12. Can you help me to successfully root my t-mobile galaxy s6?

I notice that on the page twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html, says:

"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

I tried to find the way to boot into TWRP before the first reboot. but I can't figure it out how.

Please help me to root galaxy s6.

Thank you

How can you remove the shortcuts?

Or is there any piece of software that can disable it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
\windows\start menu\

there you will find both the start menu and programs

you cant disable gprs for only some programs unless you use the 3th party firewall app

as which program init the connection is transparent for the device
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Eaglep:
can i Disable it complletly?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
you can try to rename the exe file the shortcut points to in windows\ but it could cause the pda to crash if files associated with it are launched

or you could just disable gprs when you are not using it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TriAxisFL:
Try using the NoData cab. Just install it and it will create a shortcut icon. When you want your internet diabled click on the icon. This will prevent the kids from using Internet. Then when you need internet, just click the shortcut again,,, and your access will be restored.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Samri13:
First i know i'm an idiot, i thought i knew what i was doing but i had no idea, i figured how hard could it be I've rooted a G1 and a Droid Eris.... but alas i was way over my head.

I have a Note 9 from KSA (Saudi Arabia) i'm a contractor there and it was way cheaper than buy in the states plus a dual sim variant. i tried flashing to the Detonator T-mobile rom, and now i'm left with a phone i can not use, I did not create a partition, i have backup all my personal data, but the original firmware is in the ether. I flashed what i thought was a dual sim international firmware, but all it did network lock my phone so god knows what international network, since neither my T-mobile or STC sim work in it. On top of that even though it has a "stock firmware" it's still rooted so knox has been triggered and even if my sim's worked all Knox linked programs wont work.

So what i need from you fine Ladies' and Gentlemen is a solution to get it as close to the stock version as possible, at this point dual sim functionality or the Wifi calling i was trying to flash on to it are second to having the phone function as a proper note 9 again. IF anyone has the stock firmware or knows of a place where i can get the original firmware, no i'm not asking for hacked version, yes i'm willing to pay for it as long as it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I know that Samsung devices purchased in the UAE are partitioned differently than those purchased in the rest of the world. I would recommend that you repartition the storage in your device and reinstall the stock OS back onto it again. That should resolve yoru issue. I don't know how to do this. Maybe somebody else can chime in a help you out.

My phone is less that 3 months old. I take care of it religiously. My display turns off after 30 sec, and I dont use auto brightness. It's never at max and I don't leave my screen still for extended periods of time.

Noticed this green discoloration on my screen a few days ago. Now it's all I see. Gives white pages a greenish tint and can be seen better on certain colors.

Very annoying to have on a $1000 brand new device.

Has anyone else noticed this on their devices?? Never had this happen on any of my previous 4 Samsung phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Ok.. so i got my pie update with One UI last night. COOL.. i love it.. laggy at first, after full reset, it works just fine, smooth and fast.. snappy. battery life is great.. However, after using it for awhile and after restoring backup, i have some quirks..

1. Samsung now do not allow SD Card to be used together with both sim cards.. previously i have been using dual sim and SD card via an adapter.. now it just says "SIM Card Tray Slot Problem. There seems to be something in your SIM Card tray slot that doesnt belong there. Check it and try again".

I saw somewhere in this forum, that there is a method that can fix this issue, but i require root access.. DAMN..

2. Call recorders is disabled for third party apps.

Is there a native call recorder in the note 8 android 9? like when i use note 2, i just need to tweak the CSC file and the native call recorder will come out. Is it still present?

If the native call recorder is still present, i am very willing to root my phone.

Samsung pay is just something that i would love to have, but not a must. Call recorder is important.

I travel often, and frequently receive instructions from bosses or customers on what they want, and it is often lengthy.. without a pen and paper, and phone stuck to my ear, i rely on call recorders to record what they want, and then when i am back in office or hotel room, or somewhere quiet, i can replay what they want and work on a proposal to them or quotation. This is important to me and the reason i forked out to buy pro version of the call recorder app i was using previously.

my question is, if some kind hearted person can assist me, is as follows:

1. Is android call recorder still present? will tweaking the CSC file or installing an xposed module bring it back? (thats how i did it on my very old note 2)

2. If i root my note 8, secure folders wont work. Samsung Pay wont work. will masking root allow samsung pay? if not, will i still be able to use samsung pay on my Samsung Gear Sport instead.. currently i use samsung pay mainly on my samsung gear sport anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] galaxynote2:
