[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] EZSamsungS:
Hi there,

Around a month ago, I got a case of a demo unit (never had before), I didn't look at it until a few days ago and work on the phone.

The phone was A SM-N960XU a demo unit shipped back from the US to Vietnam. (For some reason, one of a Verizon staff "play" with the phone and bricked the phone.) Back to the factory. The phone was an auction for staff to win it. I won the case.

I tried to play around with the loop and use "eng efs" (eng efs is a file which factory will be in charge of it. you can easily buy this at your nearest Samsung factory if you have one....) The phone was bricked to an N960U Verizon version... I was able to get it back to work.

The only problem is the CP file that was flash into the phone. I was not able to get it out of the phone :) The phone can work (for a while) until getting through to the setup stage...

**A picture can describe more than words

(Ok nevermind I can't get a link on here :) )

If anyone has any idea for the way to get CP file clean out of a phone. Please tell me :) I just need this last stage to fix the phone.

(Just read some post of XU variant phone getting the thread close Yes I understand that this kind of phone is illegal to own even for a staff of the sim company, even Samsung. From what I see in Vietnam, it doesn't look like that. Demo phone sold just as good as a normal phone, legally in street front. You can also get this "eng efs" file to get MDM out of your phone - the main reason that causes the phone to not factory reset - on street front and marketplace. Even if I want to confirm that I am a staff of Samsung. The thread will still be close. Good luck to anyone out there with a Samsung variant phone).

And also for whoever out there saying that you can't get a demo phone back to normal. You can...

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] skaroger867:
im just going to apologize in advance for anything i may mess up with this thread, it has been a while since ive been on here and flashing, also ive never purchased a imported phone such as this before.

im currently on At&t (essential phone at the moment), in the state of Kentucky, using Band 17 according to LTE discovery.

this phone caught my eye, cause well look at it, its beautiful...and that slide, oh so satisfying.

if i want to purchase this phone which version do i purchase? the global or china one. ive saw threads where people posting about buying the china version and using it in the states to get the best signal. at first i thought i needed the global version but im quite honestly a little confused and would like some help before i make a decision.

ive heard "fake rom" thrown around too and this adds another thing i want to be cautious about as well.

https://us.gearbest.com/cell-phones...mqfPE_39XLnR3NkJfPrrU8k9VwBEXK9kaAnfnEALw_wcB

this listing shows the global version and what ive been looking at.

thank you in advance.

So my phone won't update cause it's suspected in rooting but it isn't and now it's slowing down my phone and chrome there are apps that wont even open at all anymore including Chrome and all google apps such as Maps and Gmail etc.

I really need to update my phone but don't understand why my phone thinks it's rooted.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
Do you have a LG V30? Did you buy it new or used and from where? You need to provide more information than "my phone won't update":confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
My LG V30 + IS rooted and I can still update it. ;)

For you (not being rooted), you would merely install most recent full KDZ via LGUP. Done.

Plus, I've never seen a "warning" where an LG V30 refuses to try to update because it's rooted. I've seen it FAIL to actually install the OTA update -- because of TWRP custom recovery being present -- but it still TRIES (because the OTA mechanism wasn't disabled). And it NEVER gives that kind of "root" warning. The OTA update merely fails.

There is a bootloader unlock warning you will see every time you start your phone, if the bootloader is unlocked -- but that's not what you're saying...

It actually sounds like you have some kind of malware are on your phone, if it's running slow and giving false warnings.

Have you tried factory reset on your phone? Plus, you can go ahead and update via LGUP and a KDZ, both available here in this forum.

Which V30 variant do you have? What firmware version are you on?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerealKiIIel:
Hi to all.

I landed on XDA because I am not able to hack my Asus Zenfone Laser 2 dual-sim (ZE550KL, which seems to be also called as Z00L or Z00LD... I don't know why... ?!? ). Actually I'm very new on smartphone hacking, so I did my best recently to understand what "rooting", "recovery", "brick" etc mean.

I tried to enter this world because my phone gets gradually very slow as I use it and so I supposed that erasing the pre-installed applications and overclocking it would help, possibly installing a lighter and more performing custom rom. In order to do this I read that in short I have to unlock the boot loader, root the phone and then eventually install a custom rom. In fact I suppose that getting root privileges should already do the job by keeping the original rom, unistall all unwanted apps and eventually overclocking it. Is that correct?

However, the problems I found on my way are the following two:

I've not been able to follow those procedures on Linux. In detail, I'm not able to use "fastboot boot" instruction because it gets stuck on "waiting for any device". The device is listed and allowed when running "adb devices", the boot had been unlocked previously, the phone is in debug mode etc... but the problem is still there despite I've been trying with both the adb package included in the repositries and the one downloaded from the related google page. I've been told it may be a matter of USB drivers, so I also installed the android studio package thinking it would help, but I was wrong. I'm quite confused on this, despite I do hope I can hack my phone using my favourite operating system (I'm a Linux user since 2006). If you do not feel like helping on this then I will try on Windows.

After trying the same procedures on Windows 10, I realised that the Android Usb drivers released by Google did not work. I had to install the proprietary ASUS USB Drivers from the official website and only then I was able to overcome on Windows the same "waiting for any device" I had experienced on Linux. However, the phone "bricks". I suppose this should be the technical term used in this field to tell that the phone gets stuck for hours on the boot animation. I tried several times to reboot it, but each time the same story.

Maybe the problem on Linux is that I do not have the proper Android Device Usb drivers installed. In this case, how to solve the problem taking into account that ASUS only released the drivers for Windows?

RECAP: I have my phone bricked now (Android is unable to reboot, but I can do access both to the Power+VolumeUP menu (by the way, what's the name of this menu? Fast boot?) and the Power+VolumeDOWN menu (by the way, what's the name of this menu? Recovery boot?)

So sorry for the long story.

Hope you can help.

Thanks for your attention and best regards.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eiPeiDweP:
When I had this device, I remember booting a temporary recovery TWRP and rooted it in that recovery. Then once I got rooted, I installed TWRP app and installed a permanent recovery from within the TWRP app, which needed root of course. Then I got everything working.

You can try booting on a temporary TWRP using fastboot then flash supersu or magisk or whatever rooting client you want. Though, I think you need an unlocked bootloader. I'm sure there's a guide around here somewhere
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addonelam:
I'm using a Z00T and just installed LineageOS yesterday using Windows 10, following a guide by Android Authority and LineageOS.

Volume Up + Power = Fastboot

Volume Down + Power = Recovery

Sounds like you can get into Fastboot, so I'm wondering if maybe you can use it to flash the recovery image??? (I'm not a dev in any form; try this at own risk)

I'm assuming you unlocked the bootloader already...

In the directory where all your images are, perhaps try flashing the recovery with the following, where RECOVERY.img is whatever you may have renamed the TWRP image to be:

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

After it's finished flashing, turn off the phone, then reboot into recovery mode with Volume Down + Power.

Do you have knowledge about unlocking bootloader and rooting and flashing custom recovery?

If yes, then unlock bootloader, then flash custom recovery, then format data (to decrypt storage), then mount to pc and copy ROM and gapps to internal storage. Then flash it.

If you really want to move to pie ROM, keep in mind, that it will erase your data, decrypt storage(means anyone can access your data and break lock screen very easily if it is stolen).....But if phone is kept at home, then I would recommend you to upgrade:laugh:.

See any bootloader unlocking and rooting guide/thread, and unlock bootloader. after that I will tell you the way. MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING

It's not really true . This option exist in almost all ROM I tried ( EUI , MIUI , Nougat , Oreo and Pie ) and I tried a lot .

I know this is not a secure way to acces phone but is fast and reliable for me .
[LeEco Le 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troytheboy:
After the first boot and after rebooting phone always asks for pin along with finger print. After that, the phone can be unlocked with finger print only. If it is always asking for pin then it has not recognized your finger print. Try adding it again in settings.
