[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tyler27:
So Ive been on Beta 3 this whole time only for DeX on my lapdock.

Since the newest update officially allows DeX over HDMI I wanted to revert to OTA.

The beta was manually flashed so, how do I revert back to stock?

I attempted using ODIN but for the life of me I cannot figure out which firmware file is correct, or which boxes need to be checked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tyler27:
Anyone at all? I tried flashing bqk5 but it continues to fail. What firmware do I need to flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Izmile:
Hello there Tyler!

This will wipe your device clean

Try this:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955U/VZW/download/G955USQU5CSA4/252205/

Or this:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955U/VZW/download/G955USQS5CSB1/259708/

Then manually flash via Odin 3.13.1

After it finishes installing, if the device (I think it will) is stuck in bootloop, go into the stock android recovery, and manually wipe/format your device.

Afterwards, it'll reboot. Go through the setup, and manually update and install pie.

Hey, did you have any luck flashing back to stock? I'm trying to do the same as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
I am sharing this. I used PITAKA case for my S8 and now S10 Plus.

In short, its a lovely, sexy, beautiful and ultra slim case. If you want slim case, this is the one.

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED

My review

- Very slim and minimal

- Strong and durable

- Wireless charging compatible (tested myself)

- Easy to clean and wash

- Sexy and cool look (carbon fiber pattern)

I took some real photos too.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Photos as attached.

Looks really nice :D
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bp328i:
This is my first go with Pitaka. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price (plus I already have two other slim cases). I ended up getting the case, MagMount Qi car charger, and power adapter.

Am I happy I did? Absolutely!

I usually used Spigen slim fit cases that have a space for a metal disk inside so I can use my magnetic car mount. Well The problem with that is wireless charging doesn't work. The Pitaka solves this problem, no more taking my case off when I wireless charge and able to use their MagMount Qi magnetic car mount (with fast wireless charging built in).
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] kiwi45:
Don't you guys find the case slippery? The sides are a bit low to grip comfortably.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Absolutely stunning case and slim. I think it's worth the price.

Yes, it's a bit slippery. But my hands are big enough. I think the way for smaller hands to grip is well without slipping is to have some ring stand to paste at the back of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bkdodger:
I've been using this week.. I'm used to the little bit of slippery. I just find it uncomfortable for me to one hand with the sides low... I plan to use when I'm going out at night... Throw in my suit pocket... Good pics OP

Wonder if they will make the "Pro" version for the S10 plus?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
I am wondering too. But I guess they are doing for iphone only.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Yes will get used to it.

I thought the pics are poor. Hahah. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bkdodger:
Okay now my thoughts on this case :

Profile is super slim like using the phone naked. It's protection is for keeping the back and sides scratch free.. I've not dropped my phone yet [emoji1317] let's hope we keep it this way lol.. You are not going to have screen protection as the sides hug the phone normal without a lip.. I would suggest a screen protector with this case. Case is QI compatible so you can wireless charge normally.. Also it's magnetic backing enables you to place on magnetic mount like I do in my car vent.. Grip felt a little more slippery at first than I wanted but as the week went by it felt more natural to me.. Though I would like it to be more grippy .. I think this will be my go out at night case where I can slip into my jacket pocket or pants with no bulk.. I think one con for me it's not being able to place phone face down.. I don't have screen protector so I'm afraid to scratch up my screen.. Also I've had a few accidental touches on sides while going about using my phone daily.. It's not the case issue but phone as Samsung having the curved edges would be the reason for it.. So things you need to consider when purchasing.. Price is on the higher end with likes of the UAG and Otterbox cases..

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Frankly it's not meant for protective. More for slim and sleek. Please do not drop it :P
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
None. Just slim case without cover on screen. Not a flip cover case.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] SuperLeakTX:
how about the wireless charging?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Works fine. No issue at all.

It is a 50$ cover, how do you still like it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] JÖKË®™:
Looks cool. Isn't this similar to what comes with the galaxy fold?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bomp306:
My Pitaka case has just arrived and I'm finding it very smooth and slippery. It doesn't seem to have the rubbery slightly bumpy finish (3D touch as they call it).

Contacted Pitaka to see if they've changed the manufacturing process. This case seems different to the past two years.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] cpufrost:
Is it worth $50?

I'm kind of done spending that much on a case that I won't need in 6-8 months. LOL

Then again after spending $1500 for a ceramic phone I may keep it a full year.

This is maddening.

But I keep telling my wife it's a lot cheaper than booze and harder stuff! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] BWA80:
Got my case. Gotta say I love how minimal it is! And it has a grippy rubbery finish, feels good and stable in the hand. Plus the metal plates built in work great with my magnetic car mount.

Absolutely worth 45€!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Swimguy14:
Gave in to the hype, mine should be arriving tomorrow. Will report my thoughts when it does. I've been using Spigen ultra hybrid
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Thanks mate. I am waiting.

Its quite different. This is for slim and sleek.

The spigen is more for protection.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Awesome.

Grippy? I felt it more of slippery.

Actually i hope they come out with option to buy attachable front cover.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
I didn't notice until you mentioned. My s8 PITAKA is more grippy vs this s10 plus one.

Seriously u contacted them? Can you share when they respond? Tks mate
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] BWA80:
Well... Comparing it to the naked phone, it's grippy [emoji16]

But, the case does have a kinda rubbery feel, won't slip outta my hand [emoji16]
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Swimguy14:
As a side note I actually find the glass back of the phone to be pretty grippy overall, compared to the frosted back on the OnePlus 6t. That phone was way too slippery, the s10 is much more grippy for some reason. Still I want a slim case for minor protection - I realize these ultra slim cases provide little drop protection, but nonetheless better than having no case at all. You just have to be careful..

I couldn't imagine spending so much on a phone that is so sleek, just to cover it up (and bulk it up) with a thick case
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
I felt the case is very slippery and yes we should be very careful as there is minimal protection
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Swimguy14:
Not a fan of this case. The clearance next to and behind the power button is so small it's near impossible to press without having your thumb in a very exact, in natural position. I have bought the thin fit Spigen, which is exactly the same compact size but has slightly more area around the buttons causing no difficulty in usage. Also, it was 10$ compared to the 50$ pitaka.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
The buttons are fine as they are all not covered

Your point on 10 bucks spigen and this 50 bucks is totally valid
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bomp306:
I still haven't had a response. Not half the company they used to be....
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] iamonfire:
Does the Whitestone dome fits on this case?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] felloffthetruck:
If you order from Pitaka direct where do they ship from? US or overseas?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Swimguy14:
I bought from their eBay store and the page says shipped from China, but it actually came from Kentucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
I am from Singapore and it came from Hong Kong their Head office.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bkdodger:
I've been using mine a full week... I gotta say I've grown custom to it... Using it for work days only it's perfect for slim profile... Mine shipped from US as well..

100% sure it fits
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] felloffthetruck:
How do you keep/clean the fingerprints off of this case?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] bkdodger:
I don’t clean mine often and I think it’s good

iPhone X
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] Tiongkia:
Mine don't attract fingerprints.

If yours do, just wash with water and dry it with tissue. It should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] sabesh:
It's the nature of carbon fibre I find. It's easy enough to wipe off with a damp cloth, but will keep showing prints. Here's the Pitaka guide to clean:

https://www.ipitaka.com/blogs/news/how-to-clean-your-phone-case
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] OregonInfidel:
I'll have to remember this come payday. I got the whitestone dome glass for mine and the otterbox defender.. the otterbox screwed it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] CubicU07:
My two cents

Pros:

1. Very slim and minimal

2. Looks and feel high-quality

3. Magnetic mounting capability built in, yet retains wireless charging capabilities.

4. The use of an exotic material (aramid, not carbon fibre) makes for a good conversation.

Cons:

1. I would not trust this case to save my phone from long drops and from use as a projectile weapon, but soft bumps and scratches should not be a problem.

2. For my case, it seems to be a bit loose on the top left corner (you can feel a bit of gap when you tap the case there), but experiences may vary.

3. Edges of the case are a bit sharp - not paper cut sharp, but enough for me to feel uncomfortable depending on how I am holding the phone.

4. It's hella expensive.

?:

1. The magnetic mounting options seems limited to the car mount Qi and wired chargers at the moment. Other, more exciting options (like the MagBar) are currently not available.

2. Information on the Qi charging specs for the mount cannot be found on the product page.

3. Would pay for a magnetic mounted kickstand for the case, so that I can attach it when consuming media and remove it to maintain a slim profile (the phone, not me) when not required.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
I was read https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html. That link describe how to install Magisk in our device in few ways. I was interested "Boot Image Patching" section that tell us about rooting device without TWRP.

Before this, I have 5 redmi devices and 3 of it were rooted-well via TWRP. 1 bricked (totally bricked) :laugh: and 1 still un-rooted (Redmi 6A-cactus).

My spec of Redmi 6A are:

Security Level Patch: 2019-03-01

MIUI Version: Global Stable 10.2.8.0 (oCBMIXM)

Unlocked: False (i know that i should unlocked it later, i still waiting my 360 hours :D)

RAM: 2GB

Storage: 16GB

Since i found that link, i still wondering and keep searching about: "is anybody succesfull root their device (especially Redmi 6A with same spec above) with "Boot Image Patching" way?

if any, please let me know. i just want to hear their review and (of course) their experience.

thanks ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
Yes, i got it working but i still recommend the TWRP method, but if you're still interested, be careful, don't disable the forceencrypt while patching, you can disable dm-verity but DO NOT disable the forceencrypt or you'll lose IMEI/Baseband.

Anyway, this is the patched_boot.img i've used (extracted from the latest V10.2.8.0.OCBMIXM rom).

https://www80.zippyshare.com/v/2zWEXIcM/file.html

Repeating, i still prefer the TWRP method, be careful.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Nice... i'll try that soon when my 360 hours run out..

thanks. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Hi [MENTION=5716573]jonaaa[/MENTION], its me again..

i was success root my 6a with patched_boot.img. but i've got problem when i installing systemless xposed. Xposed Zip successfully installed, but when i tried to install Xposed Manager then reboot, i got stuck in mi logo. i've been trying for 3 times and getting frustrated

now i decided to install twrp and (again) i got stuck in encryption problem. most of google result said that data partition should be formatted and that dont make any sense for me. how could i formatting data partition while that partition is untouchable.

so i wanna ask you: how you get rid from twrp encrypt-decrypt problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Forget it..

My step was wrong. i was ignoring "fastboot format userdata" command in first and install twrp directly...

thanks for your suggestion ;) :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] ahhl:
hi

can share your steps in detail, from beginning to end
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
i dont recommend to use my step, because right now i even dont have twrp in my redmi 6a. In other word, im failed.

UBL

Enabling Developer Option

Entry Fastboot mode

fastboot devices (to check it's connected well with pc)

fastboot format userdata

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0.0.img

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0.0.img

For a while, i was able to entry twrp without any password asked and installing magisk (magisk-19.0.zip) smoothly.

But, when i rebooting, i've got stuck at mi logo (i've been wait more than 40 minutes and still at mi logo). When i tried to Volume Up + Power, just nothing happened but back to mi logo and stuck again (and more 40 minutes :rolleyes::silly::eek:).

and finally i did install fastboot-rom from scratch... :laugh::laugh: and since that, twrp wont installed on my redmi even i flash fastboot-rom again and again. Till now i still wondering why and not found the answer yet.:confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
Use the TWRP-1020 instead, it works much better.

My IMEI/Baseband are gone, when I install xposed framework and reboot it's stuck in MI logo, and I tried factory reset from my original MI recovery, it's fix the bootloop but my IMEI/Baseband are gone.... Do you know how to fix it? I spend my time searching to fix it and no result. And I tried flash stock ROM too and no result. Hope you know how fix my issue, thanks!!
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
Someone said to encrypt the data on settings, i don't know how though, if you fix it, next time, don't disable the forceencrypt.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] davidhozic:
Can you post questions in the questions and answers section next time?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] ahhl:
i was looking around on how to flash twrp but theres no clear guide on how to do it. i keep noticing people said dont disable verity, they didn't mentioned where and when not to disable it.

because after we flash twrp, we boot to twrp. then what?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
Uhh... just flash the TWRP and you're done.

The dm-verity removal is necessary if you want to install any GSI.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] ahhl:
well i got this issue after flash twrp. after boot and reboot

i got this annyoing android system error, contact manufacturer for detail.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] gusitir:
I have a similar problem

I was rooting my redmi 6a and now its bricked

First i intall the twrp, then i flash the Magisk with DisableEncryption, the first boot work fine, i update the magisk app and the new version isnt compatible with the magisk installed

Well i repeat the steps and then i lost the signal, in that moment i didnt know it is the IMEI lost, then i try to install Lineage OS 15.1 GSI for Redmi6a cause i think that is the solution

but the system dont boot, only boot the Xiaomi Tittle with "unlocked" (I unlock the phone before) and then get me to TWRP

Im only one with this problem?

I try use the MiFlashTool for flash the stock rom but not work, now im trying with MiFlashTool flash the MIUI9 and MIUI10.2 and other versions

I think, the problem maybe is the Boot.img

(Sorry for my bad English)

Edit-

I dont have any backup lol

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

¿Can you share your correct steps to have the Lineage OS 15.1 in Redmi6A Please? :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
This "contact manufacturer" error happens when you disable dm-verity, you can install Magisk without disabling it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Sorry for late post :D

Just make sure that you flash Fastboot ROM, not just STOCK ROM. I did that last time when my IMEI/Baseband are gone. Of course it will wipe all of your data. Just be prepare for it.. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Ups sorry.. i didnt notice that is exists :silly:

No, it wasnt like that :laugh:,, actually i did confused where should i put this question, because in Question & Answers (for me) the topic just too general and i was thinking that my question (maybe) still in development because i didnt found that in Question & Answer... :D

All my fault, Sorry again, :) :D
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
that just un-official TWRP, right??

i will try that in this weekend. Last time i remember that i can not boot into twrp. Till now, my devices still unrooted. I flash it back to stock ROM. But, when OTA update notification comes and reboot for installing, it give me bootloop into twrp (not to system), and that's mean my TWRP still inside i just cannot boot into.

so, i'll try that TWRP-1020 this weekend. Thanks. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
Yes, the unofficial works better.

About OTA, you should download the OTAs from here instead of MIUI Updater, MIUI Updater only works with Stock Recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] adista:
Nice..

Downloading ... ... ...

But wait, "MIUI Updater only works with Stock Recovery", is that mean that this doesnt support even i install from twrp? :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] ParsaNtg:
Hi guys.

I have a redmi 6a with miui 10.3.2.0 and I juat wanna root my device. What's the best way to do this? I don't wanna install any custom Roms and just wanna use root for installing HD games on SdCard...so that I don't wanna install any Xposed frameworks too!

Is there any way to Have root permissions without losing Imei?? With or without Twrp... I just don't wanna lose imei!

And i can unlock my bootloader in 49 more hours...then I can install and do everything.

Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Pigoath:
Hello! I have an ATT version.

I was having trouble updating to android pie because I'm out of the states so I was using Firmware.science; at one point I decided to jump and flash the BJ5 with odin, the flashing was taking forever, at one point it seemed like it was stucked so I decided to only flash the AP file, I worked, then afterwards I decided to flash the BL, CP and CSC Files. I flashed all 4 files for the android pie build.

My problem is that ever since I updated to pie, I never have full bars of signal, the last one is never filled. I tried with another sim card from another carrier and the problem remains. I updated from the first build to the february build to the march build today and the problem persists. I can take calls, make calls, my mobile internet, I'm not so sure, It's been a little slow. I don't know if this is a bug? I'm thinking about downgrading to oreo, I'm not sure if this is possible, is anyone else having the same issue?

Edit: I tried wiping cache, (with every update the phone factory resets so there's no point for a factory reset), taking my sim card in and out but the issue persists. I don't know what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jerryspring:
I would just flash the home tar in AP. Uncheck Auto reboot. after the flash is complete ,use button combo to access recovery. Then it will update your firmware for you
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Pigoath:
I'll give it a try but this reception issue is getting annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
If you get almost full bars (all but the very last one at the top end) that is still pretty good. If your having issues you can try factory data resetting the phone or else call AT&T and see if there is an issue in the area.

Truth be told the bars are just a convenient visual aid. If anything you should look at the signal strength.

Under settings > about phone > sim card status is an entry called signal strength. If I recall correctly somewhere around 105 to 115 dBm is pretty good. Mine is at that range (108 to 110 dBm) with tmobile and I have almost full bars (very top one is not lit).

Also if your baseband version contains the number 4 (start at the end as first character and count 5 characters to the left) then you will not be able to downgrade to oreo. The 5th character from the end (counting inwards) is the bootloader version. You can only flash firmware with the same bootloader version or higher. Attempts to flash a bootloader version lower then what is on your phone now will always fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Pigoath:
Well, I'm screwed then because I do have the number 4 and the last number is a 7. I'm on the march update, I might take it to Samsung so that they can check it out. I'll try to reflash with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cumminspowered:
But which model? I'd go for the regular S7 but I'd like the slightly larger screen, but I need Exynos, the 3.5mm jack, SD card expansion. I use Straight talk, so I'd like to be able to use the AT&T SIM or the Verizon SIM. I know the G930U is the right one for S7, but I seem to have a hard time finding information on which S7 Edge comes with all network capabilities, along with Exynos, SIM/SD Card slot.
