Hi,

I've followed instruction and got the unlocked warning on reboot. The device appears to be unlocked.

Odin failed to flash TWRP with the device showing "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (BOOT)" in red.

I went into developer option, there is no longer an entry for OEM unlocking.

I then did the time trick and reboot the device. Not sure if this step matter. But after that the option showed up greyed out, saying the bootloader is already unlocked.

All good now
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
ADB isn't needed. You use the same procedure to relock it as you did to unlock. When you do that, the option will be to lock rather than unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] fritz.barnes:
PC doesn't see device

When I follow this procedure, I do get to the right screen on the tablet, but my PC does not see the tablet at all.

Same thing happens with download mode. It only works if I enter download mode by ADB command.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] elliwigy:
sounds like a pc issue
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
When you follow what proceedure? The correct proceedure doesn't require the PC to "see" the tablet. Plugging the cable into a PC is ONLY to bring up the unlock screen on the tablet. You can't do it by plugging into a charger because the tablet won't get the correct response on the data lines. But once you get the right screen on the tablet, you can unplug the cable and still proceed with the unlock routine.

edit: I think the only reason Samsung came up with this routine is that there isn't a physical Home button to press and they want to make sure the combination of buttons won't be pushed "accidentally". They WANT it to be very difficult to unlock.

Sm-t510

Iam trying to root the samsung sm-t510 2019 model. I have set the developer optie to unlock, but iam still getting the bootloader is locked....why...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Have you actually read the instructions? The OEM enable and the bootloader lock are two entirely different things. Until the latest models, Samsung tablets didn't have locked bootloaders unless they were "carrier" models. Now, in addition to enabling OEM in developer mode, you also need to unlock the bootloader prior to using Odin. I'm not going to list the instructions again because they are already posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] winstonwlau:
Is there a way to check if bootloader is unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
When you turn the tablet on, you will see a warning screen telling you that the tablet is in danger if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Hissing Syd:
I have used SPB Backup on a number of HTC devices over the last couple of years (Universal, Wizard and Hermes) with no problems. In every case the backup has taken a couple of minutes to complete.

But with the Niki, I am having all sorts of problems. When I try to carry out a backup, it is painfully slow. On the first few attempts it timed out, saying that SPB Backup was not responding. I am presently trying again, but switching off the screen during the process. I switch it back on occasionally to check progress. After about 30 minutes, I am still only about 1/4 of the way through.

I am using the latest version of SPB Backup, and it is installed to my device.

Is there anyone out there who has SPB Backup working with their Niki?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Hissing Syd:
Thanks for that. I guess that I will go with SpriteBackup.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] nossac:
If you go into options you can uncheck the box that says "stop processes before backup", this has worked for me.

I now get good backups, I don't ever have any processes left running to stop anyway.

If you do then manually stopping them first may be the way to go.

I have a Neon not a Niki but had the same problem :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] cparisis:
SPB backup version 2 works fine

Just tried newly released SPB Backup v 2 & works fine wt 'stop all processes' ticked. It seems faster too.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jcostanza4:
Just got it, Installed and backed up a couple times. I also tested by doing a hard reset and using the stand-alone restorer option for the backup. Restored perfectly. Bluetooth partnerships, exchange and everything works like it never went down.

Great app. Can't wait to test the ROM upgrade feature
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] cparisis:
SPB Backup not working ADDITION 1

ADDITION 1:

I managed to create the same problem again with SPB Backup version 2 while tweaking the fonts & system cache settings upwards (see post on 'how to make our devices more responsive' by tweaking the registry or actually use excellent little programme called Nike Tweak (you will find it somewhere in the forum). When I downgraded the settings a bit the programme was again able to backup my system with the 'stop prcesses' box ticked. Though I didn't actually test, I suspect one could manage to use version 1 to perform a full backup of device system by downgrading these settings. the other possible advantage of version 2 over version 1, apart from speed, is that I stopped getting the worrying error message 'could not open file /Windows/Isoma/lic/00000...0.db' the significance of which I don't actually know.

Hi there, i keep my S8 in flight mode during the night, with a optimisation (not restart) scheduled at 04am every day.

Sometimes when i turn off airplane mode in the morning, i see the torch button pressed and blue but no torch on.

Doesnt matter if i use torch or not before going to bed and is obviously off. Thanks

Is it a bug? I have the latest software.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Purplelama:
Everything started with the Pie Update a few weeks ago. My battery life kept getting worse and worse. Since I change almost nothing in usage over the two years of owning it, I should be able to make a viable judgement.

Basically when I bought it, I was left with like 10-20% after what I consider a day. I also consider myself a heavy user. Now it's more like, that I have to charge it after 3/4 of that same usage time or I'm left with 1-3% after a day.

What I did:

- Factory reset

- Factory reset without automatic backups etc. (everything installed manually)

- "Battery calibration", various ways of doing that, with running it until it turns off, not switching on and recharging it without being on

- Exchanging battery (on my own) thus voiding the warranty already anyway (it's two years old, so it doesn't matter)

- "Battery calibration" again...

- Factory reset (all clean again...)

- and now I even downgraded to the last Oreo version with a Samsung Stock ROM

- during all of this, of course I did all the "normal" stuff like switching off WiFi when I'm not at home, location services to "phone only" and so on

It's still not getting better! I can not believe this and I just refuse to buy a new phone every two years! It's not even about the money, it's just stupid and besides that is the S8+ kind of the "perfect phone" to me until this crap started to happen.

As a last resort I would root it and go to some custom ROM... would that help anything? I just start to get nervous because of all the time I'm investing in this crap.

For the record: This was the last Samsung. Huawei is starting to look appealing
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Opus Dei:
I have S8+ also DS model...Never have any issue with battery life. Im on custom ROM from the day one...So, try to flash idk maybe, DeluxeROM ( https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79406576&postcount=2173 ) and you will see does it will help. Anyways, you fix it or not (its just maybe a bad series of S8), pls keep your brain in Samsung direction, forget about Huawei...This is ofc just my opinion [emoji123][emoji123].

Good luck...[emoji1696]

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dasagreev:
It works on every Nokia 6 (2017) though my model is PLE (TA-1021 Indian variant) it helps mainly to bring back volte to users who are on Ta-1000 rom. Cast works fine as you know.

This tutorial is made keeping in mind that many of Nokia 6 users didn't unlock bootloader (anyway unofficial paid method is available) and also you should have been following other threads else it might be confusing.(read all steps fully before proceeding)

Step 1 : downgrade your device install 7 to forum recovery (you should know this step).

Step 2 : Flash any Ta's(I used Ta-1021) pie rom which has volte feature from recovery and just take an apk called networkconfig in system/product/overlay folder. (Copy to sd card then to pc or directly into external sd ) I don't have back up of this app if someone provide app alone you can skip this flash.

Step 3 : wipe complete system now and flash Ta-1000 rom and root it with magisk in advanced options (if failed for one time do it twice)

Step 4 : reboot system and install magisk manager 5.9.x or older now that you are rooted do whatever you want to have space in system for your modifications delete useless apps in product folder any way if your model is not ta-1000 you can't use most of them (I deleted all of them even replaced clock calender calculator with Google apps as these apps sucks)

[Note: In product folder you have music and voice recording stock apps to make them work for non D1C devices place them in system apps]

Then delete all apps in overlays for better experience and place app you took in step 2 in here. [For volte]

Step 5 : now that you are rooted uninstall powerg3 app use link2sd if you are not familiar to do manually. (This step is to bring back battery saver toggle for non D1C device)

You may uninstall powersaver and battery manager apps. In system folder for orginal Aosp apps to function (I didn't try this before unrooting but forums said it helps in saving battery) anyway I confirm this is true as i freezed these apps now by disabling these apps to modify system.

Step 6 : you can't root it again so make sure you did all modifications you want now download magiskuninstaller and flash it now flash boot image from rom zip and reboot. Now your phone has every thing.

(If you forget something you have to do everything from first again)

Process is not as confusing as it looks only thing is I'm in hurry I will edit it once I'm free.

If this helped you please do comment and say if you do any other modifications.

Ta-1021 is hybrid slot but still you can use both sims and memory card just YouTube ( It works)

Smartphone lost or stolen is a "nightmare" of many people, because you not only lost a device attached to you but also lost Important data contained on it.*If you are using a smartphone running Android, then you don't worry about loosing it because there are some solutions to find it again if you lost your Android smartphone.*

*Using the smartphone location feature built into Android*Google has built into its Android platform the "Find My Device" feature, allowing users to determine the location of smartphone, lock or delete all data on smartphones running Android platform in case your phone is lost or lost.This phone search feature by default will be activated when users log into their email account when activating and using Android-powered smartphones for the first time.*To ensure the device search feature has been activated on your smartphone (or tablet), go to the settings section of the smartphone, then select "Google -> Security" from the menu that appears.

Next, click on "Find device" and make sure this feature is enabled.*Also some Android phones doesn't have it, instead it has "Security and location", then select "Find device" from the list that appears to check whether this feature is enabled on your device.Some smartphone vendors such as Samsung also have their own device specific features to locate the device, but users can activate and use the built-in Google location feature on Android. enough.*

In case your smartphone is lost or lost and you need to determine the location of the device, you can access the website to locate the smartphone provided by Google.Next log in to the email account you used to log in and declare on your Android smartphone.*After logging in, you will be redirected to the website that displays the list of smartphones that you have used this email address to log in from before.*In case it is possible to determine the current location of a stolen smartphone, users should not arbitrarily find the location determined to reclaim the smartphone, but should seek help from the authorities or find a way to contact to redeem the phone to avoid any potential scandals or disputes.

This is what I do if I lost my Android smartphone. But I hope you guys may have better solution than this. If so, let me know.

Hi

I have a Moto Z which is still going great. I would like to be able to use Android 9 without using third-party Roms. Is it possible to flash the Moto Z2 Force or Moto Z3 Play rom on the Moto Z? The idea is to be included in the regular Motorola upgrades for those phones.

As far as I can see the specs of the Z2 Force are very similar to the Moto Z so the Rom might work.

Thanks for your input.

SafetyNet did a verification with the application "SafetyNet Helper Sample"

1) through TWRP in /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_dg_cache we remember the names of the folders

2) with the SafetyNet Helper Sample application, we check, everything is green, we return again to TWRP

3) A new folder will appear in /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_dg_cache, leave it, we delete the old ones from p1

4) set the permissions 0551 to the /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_dg_cache folder
