Hi, have you tried something in the end?
[ZTE Axon M Guides, News, & Discussion] 01000010:
No, I did'nt ... and I think that elsewhere in these Z999 forums someone said that the China version cannot be installed on the TIM IT one.

hi everybody, looks like a lot of people are trying to get various different things out of this phone. ive had mine fro about 3months now(about october 2019) and have enjoyed it as a daily driver/gaming phone. The only thing that im needing for it to do is to allow me to use my mobile hotspot. mine is an att branded sim unlocked phone. but for some reason it will not allow me to turn on the mobile hotspot. after doing some reading it turns out this is common(but not entirely so) with att unlocked phones, but my Galaxy s7(which is also att branded & unlocked) does not have this problem. my primary goal is to get the hotspot working. from my understanding if i had the stock version of android that would solve my problem. im actually happy with the phone so upgrading it to the latest version or some experiential build is not attractive to me. i have no idea what firehosing is and or where i should stop in the detailed process for what it is im trying to achieve. if anybody could just highlight the step i need to stop at based on what ive described that would be a great help. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I've been spending the past few days trying to get this device back up and running. It was my dad's device that I set up for him about a year ago. He somehow managed to mess up the device to the point that it doesn't boot correctly anymore. So now I'm tasked with getting the device working. I've been trying to flash the device as instructed here (ATT Z999), however in QFIL I consistently get the error message below. I've read through this thread 3 times and I can't find any fix for the Sahara Fail error, even from Google searches. Most of them say that the driver isn't setup correctly, but I've verified that the driver is installed and the device is in full EDL mode (from Axon7_EDL_Tool). From my understanding of the error code, I think the issue lies with the Firehose file I'm using, but I've tried every combo of Firehose and firmware and I just can't get it to start.

Full steps I'm following-

1. Installed QFIL and Qualcomm Drivers.

2. Turned off Driver Verification in Windows Recovery so that Device Manager doesn't show a yellow triangle on the COM driver for this device.

3. Launched QFIL, ID'd the .elf downloaded from the OP.

4. ID'd the rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml

5. Made sure device shows up correctly up top on the port

6. Hit download.

Here's the full log:

If someone could assist me to get this device running, I'd have no problem sending a couple bucks your way.... Kinda desperate at this point.

Thanks!

Hi guys!

Maybe this thread was left to oblivion and nobody using this device anymore but here i'm with a semi-brick one need some information and much appreciate. I had an ATT one but one day it just went in to boot loop, i tried to revive it with heat gun, it was back to normal state for sometime but entered boot loop again and with the second heat gun treatment it was fried. So i ordered other mainboard from China Aliexpress app, i ran fine but it had 7.1.2 and i could not use Slacks app for work so i tried to upgrade it to 8.1 with all information i can get in XDA and internet. I checked the imei and it was a japan variant but somehow had Russia rom in it. i took some pics of all information but stupid enough to misplaced those and now i only have imei. But i still remember the recovery has some like this: p996a20_ru so ru is Russia i think and z-cpu information as i recall has _EU in the information.

So with belief on the imei infor the mainboard is japan variant and i tried to flash the oreo EDL firmware with z-01k program filehose and got stucked system.img flashing with 3.60 %. I tried to re-flash but comment out the system.img line in raw.xml and it flashed through, now i can boot up but of course it just boot loop with docomo ntt because the system.img was left out, now the device has 8.1 oreo recovery as pic below. But there not much i can do from here, i also tried alot of combination with other rom ATT, CN, replaced the recovery file from RU nougat SD firmware to get back to 7.1.2 recovery and apply update RU to get back to 7.1.2 but to no avail. I tried mi flash but no success at all, with the japan edl firmware it flashed but after that it said set boot partition failed. You guys have any information, advises or any small hint and i'm all ear :)) .Thanks for your time!

Once again us within the UK and the rest of the world are stuck with the subpar exynos variant.

We all know that the newer exynos version has been terrible in terms of power efficiency ever since the Galaxy S9. Adding further misery, Samsung provides only U.S. limited warranty, which is a joke for a company as big as Samsung.

Just ordered a Xiaomi Mi 9
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sille:
u also get a 10h SoT with the exynos... and i can unlock it...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] electrash:
Subpar?

Dude they need to actually thorthle down Exynos power to match Snapdragon to be exact.

On S8 exyons is able to record longer with higher frame rate and higher resolution then snapdragon but they disable it so snapdragon could match up
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] benparker:
I ordered the S10e for £500 Snapdragon variant from eGlobal. Beats the Mi 9 every single way except the battery size
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
This was true for the s8, but the OP is correct with S9/S10.

If Samsung truly dialed back newer exynos variants, they went too far because the snapdragon variant outperforms it by significant margin.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DKzVeNgEnS:
So if I bought the snapdragon variant in europe via eglobal, I won't be able to root it or am I wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fernando sor:
That's ridiculous. They are not doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
There's nothing subpar, they need Qualcomm because the USA is stuck in the stone age with their CDMA, Qualcomm is also impeding technological evolution by exploiting patent loopholes in countries with badly made law systems such as that, Qualcomm needs to die.

So far Snapdragons have vastly inferior battery life(have a look at the funny thread), 2/3 of the single core performance and 3 to 4 times higher memory delay, even the first iteration of ddr3 performs better.

But yeah have fun with your Chinese flagship I guess, let the fake Antutu scores keep you warm :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] electrash:
I am kinda amazed that you don't know that since you are in the phone's now more than me. But anyway this is the quote from some of the sites that you can find with Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
It's probably a lot to do with cost.

Qualcomm have Samsung over a barrel. They basically have to use the Snapdragon for the US devices, for the CDMA chipsets for the US networks that still use CDMA. It was either that or use Exynos chipset with Qualcomm radios, which Qualcomm were going to charge a fortune for.

And the rest of the world (except a couple of Asian countries) get Exynos, probably because it's cheaper. And developed by Samsung, so they have complete control over it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lahcim2000:
It is also available as SM-G9750/DS (China version sourced from Hong Kong)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Thats not true.

The HK and latin America snaps are rootable- no locked BL.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
They're also middle-range busy markets that couldn't care less about Samsung flagships, so those units are almost nonexistent.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fernando sor:
Wow I'm kind of amazed you would do virtually zero research. Based on anantech scores the Samsung varient is behind in virtually every category and also trailing the 845 version in many categories.

And just so you know I've done nothing with phones for years. I did write a few apps but I've not had the time in a while so I'm very out of it loop. I just know that Qualcomm is not behind Samsung in chip making. They are also better optimized and more power efficient.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14031/samsung-galaxy-s10-first-exynos-9820-vs-snapdragon-855-scores
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] electrash:
Then we agree that we disagree. I know potential of Exynos is more capable of Snapdragon in terms of camera department. They are similar of course I can't say one is better then the other. And to be honest for me few thousand points more on some bench doesn't mean a penny. It will load app 0.1 sec faster, do I need it? No. Would I like better camera like 4K 150fps well kinda yes but still to be honest kinda not worthy cuz I still record 1080p 60fps.

No bad feelings man, I wish you all the best just a little argumentative conversation ?

Who buys them really isnt important the fact that they are easily purchased on Ebay is important. In that sense they exist in abundance.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
Dual Sim feature! Two physical sims. The e-sim BS that Apple has is nowhere near as useful due to carrier restrictions and other useless crap. With a 1TB storage onboard, the need for the microSD is essentially non existent. When shooting video it keeps it on the phone anyways (probably due to all the junk cards with <10MB/S write out there). However, a card can be put in there whenever the need arises. That is very useful for some of us. I couldn't care less if the phone stutters in some games or takes 100 milliseconds longer to open an app. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
Yes there are but those tend to be more expensive (now) and development is practically non existent. I suppose, however if the intent is just to root it's fine.

Well, I just completed every course on offer, and I guarantee that there are a few things I didn't know after years of use, from 2003SE to now. The courses are fairly easy, and you have multiple goes at completely them (possibly infinite) and also go in the draw to win free ****. That is always a plus.

I recommend it: you might learn something you didn't know yesterday.

Hi all.

I try to get MX Player to play dolby 5.1 or dts sounds on my TV.

Specs:

- TV: Philips OLED POS 9002 with Android Oreo

- Sound: Bose Soundtouch 300 Soundbar with rear speakers, connected optical. Can play Dolby Digital and DTS.

- App: either direct (using USB) or via DS Video and streaming from NAS. Latest version from Google Play Store.

No matter if I use a custom codec (mx_neon.zip) or not and any decoder (hw+, hw, sw), if I try to play certain test vidoes from here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Samples

especially the channel checks and it is some sort of upmix from stereo, but definitely no disctinct channel selection.

To be exact: I did not test all variations (custom, standard, all decoder) so far...

--> it seems there is exactly the same behavior with my new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K - only stereo as well...

Is there anything that I can test or do or try to get it work. Besides the sound issue, DS Video and MX Player are working very well, it would be a pity that due to sound issues I can not use it for anything else than stereo.

Thank you for any hint.

Best regards

ww
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
We regret the inconveniences caused by the delay in our response. Unfortunately, MX Player does not support audio audio passthrough mode over SPDIF at the moment. However, it is applicable only to the HW+ / SW decoder.

HW decoder directly makes use of Android mediaplayer framework on the device. So, If it is implemented to use audio passthrough mode, it should work as expected. Please check whether there any system settings that can enable the audio passthrough made. Enabling it may let you allow passing the audio directly to the external audio system.
[MX Player] webwude:
Thank you for your reply.

The soundbar is connected either optical or via HDMI ARC.

As it is working with the internal media player and with Kodi (enabling all passthrough options), but not with VLC (same effect), it might be a bug of the current firmware (there is a similar bug concerning 1920x800 video and the black bars which is present with third-party-apps as Kodi, VLC and MX player, but not with Amazon prime video and the internal player). I opened a ticket at Philips. Let's see how it develops.

As mentioned: as it works with the internal player it seems that the overall settings are correct.
[MX Player] Racoo:
5.1 sound is only stereo on Philips android TV

I have the same problem with philips 43pus7304 android TV. Internal player and Nova Video Player can play 5.1 AC3 sound, but mx player and vlc can't - my av receiver shows that input signal is only stereo. I tried it via hdmi arc and optical - the same result. Please fix this - mx player is the best of all, but such a bug!

I tried all kinds of settings in your player ant tv - but problem is somewhere else but not in settings. Also I tried default decoder and mx_aio.zip.
[MX Player] agentwalker1:
I seem to having the same issue at the moment. The internet player on the app I'm using is fine, I'm getting DD plus showing. When I change to use an external player, either Mx or VLC or always shows as stereo 2.0.

Tried various settings and codecs and so far no luck.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Thank you
[MX Player] GPSMapper:
Just for the sake of update on alternative options.

I've spent 2 days trying to find the working solution to stream my files from NAS on Amazon FireTV stick with 5.1 audio output.

My setup:

FireTV Stick > HDMI Audio Extractor box > TV

HDMI Audio Extractor > Optical > Logitech Dolby Digital 5.1 (Z906)

While Amazon Prime and Netflix play 5.1 just fine, I was struggling to make it work with NAS stored files.

ES File Explorer, MIXplorer, Xplore built-in players do not support audio passthrough

MX Player - while it has some options for audio passthrough - I have failed to make it work, in the end I was getting stereo downmix no matter what I've tried in settings

VLC player - same as for MX Player

Nova player - found a hint in this thread and tried it. Indeed, it was the first success. But partial. AC3 passthrough worked fine, but AAC/DTS tracks were failing, so with passthrough enabled - no sound for AAC/DTS

I continued searching for alternatives and finally found almost perfect solutions: Vimu media player

It's not free, by 3 bucks don't hurt.

While Vimu also supports passthrough for AC3 only... it has BUILT-IN transcoding support to convert AAC/DTS/DTS HD/etc. into AC3!!! And I confirm it works! Also it has very clean interface to browse your Network storage devices, so you can skip using File managers and navigate through your library directly from Vimu. However I am missing a bit some of the functionalities from Nova like metadata / description/posters fetching from online databases.

The only Vimu feature which was not working well for me was 'Preferred Audio language' - despite of having English enabled, it was still playing first track by default.

Hope someone will find this helpful and will save some time
