Hey, I want in future make Nethunter kernel for all versions of s10

For test i unpacked stock kernel with mktool and repacked it. After repacking this stock kernel boot.img have 41 694KB but normal stock boot.img have 56 320 KB.

This is normal of error of repacking?

If it is error than with which program can i unpack and repack kernel without errors?

For now i have compiled kernel from s10e source.

Added some patches but untested.

I don't have Galaxy s10e yet to test my kernel for now.

Hi:

I got my AT&T TILT last April unlocked and use it in USA with a foreign SIM using roaming, it works perfectly. I get back to my country and the phone worked fine.

Now, I returned to USA yesterday and when power up the phone got the phone searching for a network, it shows AT&T MY Service for a while but then it lost the connection. Since then, I can't find a network. I go to phone settings and press on FIND NETWORK but nothing happens. Is this a known issue?

Any idea what could be the problem ?

Thanks

I have ANE-LX1, i wanted to install android 9.0 beta for ANE-LX1 i got the firmware from Huawei Firmware Finder, installed it using dload, and boom software install failed i use System 8.0.0.046 (0CFV) (i tried to unlock bootloader and had to downgrade but failed sucks that you have to pay to unlock a bootloader) i tried to install newer android 8.0 but still software failed any fixes?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] dcduartee:
Dload does not work with updates from Firmware Finder. Those updates are not signed by Huawei so they don't work.

You have to download the update from here: https://androidhost.ru/search.html

I am not a developer and have no connection with this recovery but thought it would be helpful to make a new post to highlight its availability. The previously-posted versions (4pda & wzsx150) work with Oreo but not Pie. wzsx150 has released an update that works with Pie and I'll post a link to the most recent version (0330). I have installed it on my Mi 8 Lite and it works fine but accept no responsibility if it breaks yours!

I have followed the instructions in this post, I have a stock recovery but the boot keeps the samsung logo and it restarts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , the bootloop means the files taht you have use is not for region your phone , download stock version of firmware which was previously before modification , extract recovery.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5 and follow flash with odin 13.12 version.

Good Luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilism:
Hey, I'm sure this has been asked a bunch before but I keep getting buried in threads about TWRP pin problems, which isn't my problem.

So I was using a 5x5 pattern lock before redoing my phone's custom ROM(Havoc). When everything was completed and I log into my google account to restore my android backup service data (contacts/SMS/etc) my only option is a 3x3 pattern, however that data was encrypted with a 5x5 pattern and I can not unlock it to initiate the restore.

Is there a way to restore the most recent google backup that used the 5x5 pattern?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lezsakdomi:
There is a Call Recorder named Magisk module which works with LOS15. Note that with the default settings the sound is too loud so gets distorted but I think it's just matter of fine-tuning options.

Oh, yes, you need to root with magisk rather than with the suaddon.

Hello all,

Yesterday my P20 Lite (NOVA 3e) was updated to the 9.0.1 and after that all Google apps just stopped worked, it looks like the GMS installer is not working anymore.

I performed the factory reset and tried several times again to use the GMS installer, maybe the previous version don't work with EMUI 9.0.1. Any idea or suggestion? Is it possible to go back to the last EMUI?

Thanks!

I've just purchased this phone in a stranger that asks for an instant money, I've got this phone for just ~$50 (or just 2500 PHP lool)

My problem is, this phone is still sim-locked to verizon.

Tried searching for some fixes, nothing shows.

Is it possible that this phone can be unlocked by flashing an openline firmware ( if there's any stuff like that )? Or is there any method/patch/fix that can sim-unlock this phone?

Pls help :confused:

Just downloaded through Frija and the files looks to be identical (XAR) to the one that was available for the French region (XEF).

So if you already flashed using the XEF CSC in Frija, flashing this one available now for the US probably won't be neccessary.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] yasars:
thank you man !!! really nice job !! i will test it ... first flash twrp and then restore your image !! fine ....

can you tell me how can i enable magisk (root) , you say (you may need to enable it with a utility or shell command) but not how :D

thanks

// after install magisk 18.1 its enabled "!!! thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gooberdude:
A

Thank you for giving it a try...

This is a test build before i include all the script mods.

You will not have root or passive kernel until I finalize my build.

This test build will keep your existing kernel and root, if rooted. Just will not have super su console installed. That will need to be installed to control su, if needed. I understand magisk can control su, but never tested.

The reason i did not include the scrips in the build, is to make sure if any issues that may come about in testing are not because of kernel or scripts that i plan on including.

I am running the scripts myself without issues, unless you consider loosing about 1.5hrs of total battery run time an issue. I get around 13 hours continuous run time, and around 15 hours stock.

The benefits in keeping hicups minimal with streamed media and heavly decoded formats, outway having an extra hour or two of battery time.

Once I make the final build, it will include the scripts and latest stock kernel with magisk root and the passive kernel with magisk root, as an addon option.

The scripts will be within the system with the user to setup as they need them with the given utilities in the rom, or with tasker if one should choose.

There will be a tutorial on each script and how to use the tools to enable or disable them.

The only mods included in the test build are, build.prop, install to external, modded hosts file, modded csc features file, and its utility to edit along with a few other non stock utilities.

You can manually remove utilities not needed, and replace with what ever to suit your needs within the system. Just make sure you do not consume the system partions free space. I find between 200mb to 120mb free space as a minimum, any smaller could raise issues.

Also i forgot to add not fota or security updates...they have been disabled or removed, not completely just inactive. I doubt samsung will provide anything further with this tablet. As i never saw much for Note 8.0, which is a better and more top of the line tablet for its day. Its up to modders to push getting a kernel built for newer custom builds, in which one can move on to when the opertunity comes.

I admit the mods are not a requirement, but do come in handy at times, escpecially once you get to play with them.
