Hello devs... I don't know if this is helpful or not. But I have a friend who enjoys corporate promotions covering phones for business purposes. He extended his promos to me which offer 40 - 50% discount off any phone on Amazon.

If a dev here would like to buy the a70 at a discount to experiment integrating TWRP or developing roms on it I can swing that by. If any serious dev is interested let me know.

A few guidelines first:

1) This offer is ONLY for devs not anyone else.

2) I can only offer 2 promos to 2 different devs.

3) These promos are ONLY for USA.

4) This is ONLY for the a70, not any other phone.

5) Purchases are made on Amazon, not any other market.

6) Paypal or other legit means of money transfer is acceptable. But paypal is preferred.

Appreciate the hard work and time the devs have painstakingly spent so far on XDA. This is a courtesy to you devs.

Hardware wise, all region handsets are the same. It's the software components which are designed for specific regions. Bootloader is locked in all samsung handsets when its pur based. It should be possible to unlock it regardless of which region it was from. Correct me if I'm wrong please..
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] i.snehal.kiran:
i checked on samsung usa site. a70 is not available. But on amazon.com a70 available as international version. so it is unlocked i guess. But when a70 will release officially in USA, it will mostly carrier bound and those are locked by carriers like verizon,at&t etc.

[MENTION=7011498]senseijtitus[/MENTION] have you unlocked your a70's bootloader???
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] senseijtitus:
Not yet. Waiting for work on twrp finished. Or at least a workable device and vendor tree to be available...
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] rrd84:
OK!

So, Any idea? if there are any developers working on this device or not? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] senseijtitus:
Xtutorials is working on it as of now. B6 the way, there is a webpage trying to fool a70 users by posting a tutorial to flash twrp for the device. They also have a twrp build in there which does not work. Basically we suspect this was a file stolen from xtutorials work on twrp and the dumb person who uploaded it didn't even bother to check whether it worked or not.

The development for the device is ongoing. The device tree is being created from scratch since the tree made from source code had some issues. Xtutorials is working hard on this. Let's wait for progress.

I'm from Latin America support the development of twrp to install port roms in my a70. I hope to help financially as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Exostenza:
My N6P just kicked the bucket and this was the most reasonable phones of my choices so I went with it. I would be forever grateful if someone decided to take up the mantle and did some developing for this phone. I think it would be a great device for LineageOS and some custom ROMs which add features and patch bugs. If there is a dev looking to work on this phone and needs a guinea pig please don't hesitate to PM me and I would be more than willing to test anything out. I hope this phone gets some love as it seems pretty good!

Hi! Not a Developer here, just willing to use the android multiuser feature on my new A70. Seems nothing can't be done without a custom recovery. So, very willing to contribute from my side (donate) .
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grarak:
So I actually managed to get a cheap european variant of this phone and played around with TWRP.

Well I got TWRP booting but it's stuck at boot screen (will fix that later).

Here are few things I found after working with the device.

The recovery partition is ~80MB big, but if you flash anything exceeding ~32MB will result in a soft brick and the device will straight up not boot up.

TWRP will not boot up with stock kernel/dtbo

The kernel sources samsung provides aren't complete and you have to use a combination of SM-A705MN_LA_PP_Opensource and SM-A705GM_SWA_PP_Opensource (Use SM-A705MN as base and copy missing dts files from SM-A705GM)

DTC source in kernel doesn't match the precompiled dtc binary file

I will upload my sources once I get TWRP to boot further

Are there any telegram or discord group where wee can find updates for A70
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alpha_Tester@1995:
Don't worry, we will be updated if they make progress in TWRP. I believe there is already a rooting method by Topowujh available. Let's wait paitiently for their next update.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] deloj:
If you're referring to the 15 step root method, I need to inform you its not an easy or a safe method. We need an easier root method without so many steps.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
Exactly. Rooting with TWRP has been so much easier and safer that without TWRP it just doesn't feel comfortable. Just giving my opinion. No complaints. Although I feel slightly disappointed with the fact that a device like A70 hasn't got the attention that a lot of other lesser devices have been able to achieve.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] deloj:
I'm confused by your reply. What do you mean by 'rooting with twrp'? Rooting and twrp are 2 distinct things. Please explain.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
Well I thought that was pretty obvious...:laugh: With a rooted phone having TWRP recovery it is much easier to make full rom backup, flashing zip files etc. I meant ROOTED PHONE HAVING TWRP and not a phone rooted by TWRP. TWRP doesn't root the phone. So that's it. You can root a phone by flashing Magisk/SuperSU THROUGH TWRP. Stock recovery often limits you when it comes to flashing certain files.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] deloj:
I'm just waiting for an easier root method than the one already out there for the a70. The one thats out involves too many steps and is prone to boot loops and other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
Come on guys......any update plz?

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joselof96:
You are better off rooting with magisk through Odin, TWRP won't come for a while mark my words :p
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kruc Ire:
What do you wanna root the phone for? At this point have yall just figured out that the rooted phone and custom rom is completely unsecured from hostile web . Can't see any reason to root for the phone to be hacked with a TWRP these days. All my TWRP phones are torn and frayed now. Rooting against the attackers, watching the Youtube for signs of pre-twrp hostiles in the comments there. "Hay you don't know what he sees" I hear them say.

well by logic if the impostorized political comments are coming before there is a TWRP, then they are not coming from inside the phone but outside it. Unless they are coming from a mfg backdoor.

like probably I always felt they must be coming directly from sources inside the Google Youtube platform, pre programmed and delivered to the cached YouTube session.

Hi Joselof,

Appreciate that. I guess I'll try it. But I got 2 questions:

1) Is it possible to install twrp yet?

2) When in dark mode, Is there any way to make all notifications in the drop-down status bar dark?

.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joselof96:
Twrp is possible yeah but not that useful atm
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] deloj:
Why do you say that?

.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joselof96:
Because you can't root the phone using twrp and there are very few gsi rooms working on this device and we have no custom roms as of yet
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] deloj:
I'm highly confused. You said its possible to use twrp on a rooted mate 20x. But you then say you cant root it with twrp. If the phone is rooted already why would you root it again with twrp, if that was possible?? Explain that to me cuz something is missing in our convo.

EDIT backing up through twrp works depending on the firmware

1. NOT ALL TWRP users have root in advance hence why I mentioned that you cant flash root using twrp

2. Secondly my post wasn't all about root it also talked about how most gsis don't run on this device as of yet

3. Even backups doesn't work

4.my post was about how twrp isn't useful atm

5. You asked me why twrp isn't useful

5. I answered that ready

6. If I have root or not doesnt matter since twrp cant flash root/magisk and has nothing to if I have root

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Kahoots:
Hello,

Maybe someone can give any tips in regards to the issue below. with my nokia 8

So few days ago my phone speakers started sounding distorted, I thought that it may be because water got in the speakers, as I put it on the counter by a shower, but even then the water it could of gotten was minimal due to the shower curtain and yeah. Well now the speakers are completely offline. I haven't installed no apps or updates.

Today after sound was already gone, I tried some apps that disable headphone jack, which ofc didn't work.

The earpiece is working and mic is working as well. When I plug in headphones, those work as well.

The weird thing is I tried blowing into headphone jack and I got sound for a brief period of time.

Now started more testing and well when I apply air pressure (covering headphone jack with my mouth and applying small amount of pressure) speakers work. Tried cleaning the headphone jack and nothing, only when air pressure is applied it works.

As a tech guy I can't imagine what could be wrong in this case, as there are no visible signs of water in the jack, there is nothing physically wrong with the phone other than the lack of sound and why would applying air pressure fix it and how to permanently fix it without warranty. I don't want to take it to warranty as the service usually takes a long time and I can't do with a temp/spare phone right now.

Hopefully someone can help me out,

Thank you
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Pabliell:
Even though your phone might have been only a bit splashed, humidity from the steamed bathroom could easily get inside, since Nokia 8 is only IP54 certified.

Try drying it like a water dumped phone. Turn it off, take out the SIM card tray and put the phone in rice. Let it lay down for at least a day. It might work, but if it won't, well, you might need a repair service.

[MX Player] skyhirules:
It looks like the app doesn't support browsing USB sticks, connected through OTG. You can't select them as folders to be scanned. Also, playing a movie, using the app through another file manager, doesn't display subtitles that are in the same folder with the movie file. Please fix this, it's very important.

I'm using stock Android 9, in case that has to do with the issue.

P. S. The UI when browsing folders to be included in the scanned ones is way too old and not material at all. I'm talking about the yellow folders icons and the green up arrow icon. Please update them.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MetalPainis:
Whenever I am watching a movie (no matter what app I use) or playing a game (no matter what game), the display automatically dimms darker in scenes where the majority of the screen is dark. I can only guess, but I'd say when the content of the screen is about 80 to 85 % black, the whole display dims darker. That's extremely annoying and makes watching some series or movies very exhausting (don't even try to watch Game of Thrones 8x03 or the Final Episode from Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 on it).

Is there any way to get rid of this behavior? I couldn't find a helpful setting to change this yet. I really hope I'm simply blind and didn't notice the setting responsible for this.
