[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cazwell220:
Can someone please point me in the right direction for the ideal TMobile set up for USA on a note 9?

I'd like to get rid of the TMobile boot animation, but keep wifi calling and volte and the other TMobile extras if possible. I've read that this can be done, but understand I lose video calling - which I'm fine with losing if that's the case.

I appreciate this community and have tried to search this out, but I come up more confused than confident

I'm timid about downloading a rom and flashing it not knowing which to get.

Thank you in advance for any direction.

I'm getting black screen on Dream League on my Xiaomi Mi 9, i can't open the app at all, i listen the audio, but nothing appears on the screen.

And on Frui Ninja Free black screen too.

Anyone has got similar problems?

Downloaded this and was able to debug this on my device via looking at logcat. Went from a black screen to having the startup page. Didn't test ingame

Looks like the app uses SSL certificate pinning. If you use an adblocking solution that intercepts HTTPS traffic like Adguard - you'll have to disable it for this app unfortunately. If you aren't doing something like that, try a different network
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] alepurbttf:
Firstly. Thank you for that fast answer. I appreciated.

I don't use any Adguard, mine Mi9 is on global Rom and I've tried to open the game in different connections.

Anything else I can do? Maybe using developer options.. Because I can't understand why this mobile its intercepting HTTPS traffic.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Personal Sandwich:
It was the problem for me - you might have something different going on. If you dm me a logcat I'll have a quick look, no guarantees

Hi,

I have TMobile version rebranded to international version.

Right now, I'm on 9.0.13, root, TWRP.

I want to factory reset everything to try xXx on clean install.

Do I just do factory reset via settings or through TWRP?

Can someone tell me the steps before I start experimenting and possibly brick the phone?

Thanks.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] fabricio7p:
Tittle says it all. Why pocophone as soon as september 2018 already had custom roms avaiable here on XDA and other phones such as Mi 9, S10, V20 almost 3 months since launch doesn't have any?

What makes it possible to develop custom OS and ported OS?

I really wanted to purchase a Mi 9 but MIUI is absolutely unbearable. Will miss so much OOS for Poco F1

Edit: Is it a long way to learn how to port ROMs, GSI to the point i can develop my own OOS for my desired phone?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] JohnTheFarm3r:
It's about how popular the device gets. Pocophone is indeed very popular due do having flagship SOC for a very low price compared to Flagship phones. Also, Xiaomi made Source Code available literally after the phone launched. Good price, source code, popularity, attracts the developers.

Also, why do you miss OOS? It's still alive and being updated. Beta version for example. You just need to join their VIP section for some cheap monthly price and you're gonna get updates regularly according to the OOS dev for Poco.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] fabricio7p:
Sorry buddy i wasn't very clear. I am using OOS and if i move to another device such as Mi 9 i will miss it so much.

I really wish to know the best way to understand my android system so i could tweak it to my likings.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vexcesban:
Looking for some help please! My phone battery died the other day, I plugged it in to charge and turned it on at 3% battery life only to get stuck in a boot loop.

Did a factory reset and then successfully flashed with odin and current firmware G930TUVS9CSC1. After flashing it went to installing a system update screen only getting to about 32%, then it said erasing for a while and went back to the samsung startup screen stuck in apparently the same boot loop I started with.

Is my phone screwed or did I miss something? looking for any help, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
It sometimes does this, make sure the firmware your using is correct for your device and flash again.

UNCHECK "auto reboot" in Odin

Disconnect when flash complete

Do Not Turn The Phone On

Reboot into recovery volume up+home+power

Wipe cache/factory rest

Reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vexcesban:
Thanks. Appreciate the input, but it didn't work for me after trying it twice. I am positive I have the right firmware.

It boots up with no led indicating light and continues to just flash the opening samsung screen for eternity.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vexcesban:
Got the phone to boot up normally but now it wont read my sim card. sim works in my other phone. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
SIM reader on phone, blow into hole to dislodge any dust and make sure sim is flat in adapter. Very rarely a software problem with sim not read.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vexcesban:
interesting, it worked fine before this started 2 days ago. I guess maybe the sim card reader broke? theres definitely no dirt in there and it seems to make a good connection (tried a new sim card had lying around and it etched lines into the sim card nicely).

Also I should mention that I had no clue what I was doing and flashed a dozen or so different versions of firmwares probably like 20 times, so maybe I caused it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Er.... Yes!

You have to flash the correct region firmware for your device or you end up with problems like you have.

Search for the SamFirm tool on here it's great for getting the correct firmware direct from Samsung servers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vexcesban:
Okay well that tool's forum post says it's deprecated so I followed the alternative link to updato and got stock 8.0 from there. Flashed phone, everything works 100% but still no sim detected.

I'm wondering If I broke my phone because I even tried some custom rom with a pit file and probably did that wrong as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
PIT won't do anything to SIM.

Try all of these

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Glad I could help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iroveashe:
I'm having this same issue but it won't boot into recovery at all, I don't know what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
First MAKE SURE you are flashing correct firmware for your device.

What device do you have and what country?

If you are sure it's correct. Flash again with Odin but uncheck "auto reboot" in options.

When pass appears just disconnect phone, it doesn't matter what it shows on the screen.

In this sequence press and hold the following... Volume down+home+power.

As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to Volume up while still pressing home+power. It may take several attempts.

When recovery menu appears wipe cache partition then reboot.

Leave phone go through boot sequence, ignore what appears on the screen during this time it is normal. This boot should take around 5 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iroveashe:
EDIT: FIXED, I did what you did, but for that to work I had to flash it without the hidden.img. Then it rebooted and got stuck on the logo again, but i was able to boot into recovery. Thank you so much.

Hey, thank you for responding.

I'm not 100% sure it's the right one

Device: Samsung A510M

Country: Argentina

Carrier: Personal

I downloaded a firmware from sammobile matching those specifications, but it fails at the last step with hidden.img.

This morning I downloaded another firmware through samfirm, but that one fails at modem.img instead.

I will try your instructions with either of them.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

To be clear, I only need to repeat this part of the process, not reinstall the firmware every time, correct? I've been trying to do this for a while, but it just shows:

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Amnvlad:
Hey there, I need help. I tried to flash latest twrp for Mi A2 but after flashing everything seems fine on command window but phone isn't booting in recovery mode. Either it get normal boot or get switched off completely , even if I try to boot into recovery by using volume up and power button , it shows 'no command' . I tried to flash magisk and it worked, but after every boot it root is getting lost automatically.. please help.. thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dextercrypt:
Yes it's not easy to flash twrp on mi a2 , don't know why. What you do is go to this link (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2.html) and download both .img and .zip file from there. Then get into fastboot mode and do the command -

fastboot boot twrp.img

Then it will boot into TWRP. And then flash TWRP.zip file and it will flash it permanently to your device. This step is mandatory so the stock recovery doesn't come back.

Hope this works !! Let me know if it helps !! :)
[Android General] dhacke:
Thanks again to the german security researcher and his community there is a way to deactivate the captive portal checkin completly.

It works on Android 7 and Android 8.1/9. But in comparision to the method in my first post this needs root access on your phone.

For all new users:

I recommend Magisk to gain root.

So now the instructions:

For Android 8/9:

1. Open a terminal on your phone (via terminal apps).

2. Type the following command:

- su

- su

- pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin

- settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

- settings put global captive_portal_server localhost

- settings put global captive_portal_mode 0

3. Then reboot your phone (via hardware buttons, system or terminal app).

For Android 7:

1. Open a terminal on your phone (via terminal apps).

2. Type the following commands:

- su

- settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

- settings put global captive_portal_server localhost

- settings put global captive_portal_mode 0

3. Then reboot your phone (via hardware buttons, system or terminal app).

[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
Very nice and very important tutorial!

Just for completeness; and I don't claim and definitely don't have a copyright. I reported these procedures already here end of April in the thread "Enhanced Privacy, Security and Battery Duration! My Measures...". I mentioned it also once here in the AFWall+ thread.

I'm very glad that these procedures get repeated and repeated again. From my personal point of view it's so important to develop the stance to not allow Google to collect our data. I've subscribed to Mike Kuketz and am very grateful for his job and dedication.
[Android General] dhacke:
I agree to you. It's a pity that so much people don't care about it.

I must admit i forgot to search in forum whether the instructions was already posted but as you said every mention helps.
[Android General] jaysir:
Thanks, however, not working on pixel experience rom.

Update：

Seems no settings command under ADB shell, worked when turning on Usb debugging.
[Android General] dhacke:
Thx for your info. And i will try it on my old z3 with the custom rom which you mentioned.

I know there is a Android 9 based Pixel Experience for the z3.

Will report then.
[Android General] jaysir:
Sorry, I did not make myself clear.

It just not working under recovery mode.

After booting to the system and opening the USB debugging, it is working.
[Android General] dhacke:
Good to know (and i'm happy that now everything works:))

I will edit the guide and add your information to it.

Thanks.
[Android General] ajlajluk:
Thanks dhacke for all this information.

I got here from a link on an XDA forum for the Huawei Watch 2 LTE smartwatch. Do you know if this can be done to the watch as well?
[Android General] dhacke:
As far as i see it the adb method (post 1) could working because according to the Internet the device runs Wear OS which is basically a android version for smartwatches.

So in theory you can activate USB debugging and redirect the captive portal to mike kuketz service as long as the commands are accepted.

Regarding method 2 i can't say anything because i don't own a smartwatch and have zero knowledge whether root is possible/how it is done on those smartwatches (which is needed for that method).
[Android General] ajlajluk:
Just as you said, I enabled adb debugging, opened a terminal session from my mac to the watch and sent the commands from version 1 and they were both accepted. I should be able to check if it has worked tomorrow so will keep everyone updated when I've tested it.
[Android General] ajlajluk:
OK. My watch appeared to connect to wifi but then said "No Internet".

I've now done the same mod to my phone, deleted the supermarket wifi I'm trying to connect my watch to from both the watch and the phone and will try again. I'm also wondering whether haveing BT on at the same time is causing a problem so I'll try with it on and then off and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks again for giving me hope I'll be able to connect WearOS 2 to a captive portal wifi network.
[Android General] ajlajluk:
Further to above, unfortunately still no joy. Watch says "Connected" for the briefest moment then "No Internet" and won't go any further.

Never mind.

Thanks again for your work for the Android community.
[Android General] Datta258:
Is it safe?

We are sending data to completely unknown server, that's why asking.
[Android General] dhacke:
In my opinion yes. The mentioned security expert has a good reputation afaik and he didn't make any things in the past which give me a reason to distrust him.

And in the near future he will work for german commissioner for data protection and freedom of Informationen. So i think he is a trustworthy person.

In the privacy policy on his site for the captive portal check service he writes that no information at all will be logged.

Of course you can ask him directly via e-mail if my words don't soothe you; i can only share my opinion about that guy:)
[Android General] Datta258:
:) Thanks.
[Android General] ZXR:
Does this still work on Pie?

On my rooted Galaxy Note 10 (Pie, 1st Sept. Patch) it does not.

Btw. there is a typo, should it be "settings put global captive_portal_mode 0"? This is what I tried. If I then check the values by "settings get..." I get

1: 0

2: localhost

3: 0

So the values were taken, but it still tries to connect to captiveportal.kuketz.de or google (whatever I have set). If I block it, I will get the exclamation next to the wifi symbol.
[Android General] dhacke:
Oh yes you are right. There was a typo. It must be 'settings put global captive_portal_mode 0'.

Now it's corrected. Thanks.

Did you make a reboot after execute the commands?

On my side it works on Pie too. I have a z3 with Lineage 16 and my device doesn't make the check.

When it' still not work after the reboot and the commands are typed in right (=> no issue notification in the terminal comes up) the Samsung stock rom could be the problem.

In that case i would recommend to use kuketz server.
[Android General] ZXR:
Yes and even after several reboots I get:

adb shell settings get global captive_portal_detection_enabled

0

adb shell settings get global captive_portal_server

localhost

adb shell settings get global captive_portal_mode

0

But, if not opened via script, I can see 185.163.119.132 (kuketz) being blocked by AFWall and the exclamation mark. So I open it with

$IPTABLES -A "afwall" -d 185.163.119.132 -m owner --uid-owner 1000 -p tcp -j ACCEPT

This works but I would prefer no C-P check.

One off-topic question:

Do you have an idea how to open the IP 0.1.0.1:0 in AFWall? It is used for VoLTE, but even I use th script line above (with 0.1.0.1) it still gets blocked. I have to open UID 1000 completely... :(
[Android General] dhacke:
You wrote 'adb'. Does it mean that you tried the commands in the adb shell from your Computer with connected phone?

That could explain why it isn't working. The commands must be typed in directly on the phone for deactivation.

I use the App 'Terminal Emulator' from F-Droid for this.

Link: https://f-droid.org/app/jackpal.androidterm

You could try it with that app once more. Apart from that i'm running out of ideas atm.

Sorry, but no. I don't use VoLTE or Scripts in AfWall+.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] P0st00:
Hello everybody, i recently bought my S7 SM-G930W8. The problem is that i'm french and this is a canadian version. I tried maaaany thing to solve some problem with the fact i got the wrong model like : Bad connection and bad 4G/3G/2G. Couldn't even make a call. I checked if it has the same Frequency aaaaand yes it has EXACTLY the same frequency as the Global model (G930F). So i tried to install some 930F Rom version with odin but i couldn't. So i installed a custom rom compatible with the 930W8 and 930F. And at the end of the installation i could choose which country i'm from so it change the CSC file. I did it and choose french and i could make call but had again a really low network coming in my phone... So i think i succed to change the canadian CSC file to a french one but i still have the canadian modem (CP file) that's why i got low network. Can someone help me please ispent 20 hours to solve all the problems and i still got another one. :/

Thanks for reading my post.
