[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It isn't complicated, go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and enter your specific device model number in their search feature. That should give you a list of all available firmware for your model number, then you just choose the newest version that has the correct 3 letter code for your region, country or carrier.

If you don't know the correct 3 letter code for your region/carrier, try doing a Google search for:

"Region code for (enter your country and your mobile carrier)"

That should show you the 3 letter code that you need, then look on the list of firmware for your device and choose the newest version that has the correct 3 letter code for your region/carrier.
[General Questions and Answers] GRADE42:
Thank you for your reply and time, I really appreciated it.

I had tried what you said, and here's the results:-

1. Sammobile.com has no search result for Galaxy J3 Emerge or SM-J327P.

2. Samsung-updates.com has 14 firmware available for my device i.e Galaxy J3 Emerge (please see screenshot I attached).

I was confused and couldn't find the 3 letter code for my region, country (i.e Kiribati) and carrier (i.e ATHKL) when I googled it. I suppose the 3 letter code you mean are something like SPR, BST, VMU, etc.

May be I can try the ones (firmware) with BST USA since my phone was purchased online from USA. The phone was also unlocked and always booted up with Boost Mobile Logo even though I had been using the sim from ATHKL - the network carrier in Kiribati. That was the information of my phone before the problem.

I always appreciate your help, advice and recommendations. Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flashing the Boost firmware should work, after flashing the firmware, if the radio(modem) isn't working or allowing cellular or mobile data connection, you might need to flash a different modem that has been extracted from another firmware for your model number to make the device compatible with the networks where you live. If it needs a different modem, you'll have to do some research to see which modems for your model number are compatible with your network.
[General Questions and Answers] GRADE42:
I appreciated your reply.

Okay, I will download the latest version of Boost firmware from that list then flash it using ODIN. I am excited to see how it goes with the hope of restoring my device. I will post the updates as soon as I have done it. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Wait, don't flash it yet, let me see what I can find for you, I'll post a link here for you.
[General Questions and Answers] GRADE42:
Okay, I can wait so take your time. Thanks a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, SPR stands for Sprint, BST stands for Boost, VMU stands for Virgin Mobile, these 3 letter codes are not the region codes I was talking about. These are 3 of the major US carriers. The 3 letter region codes I meant are listed in this link below. Kiribati is not listed, your country is probably considered to be in the Indonesia or Malaysia region or some other south Asia region.

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/samsung-android-csc-phone-tablet-t2949229

Here is a firmware that should work for you, it is a generic firmware for USA devices designed to work on all USA networks. I'm giving you the generic firmware because flashing a firmware for a specific carrier may brick your device if that specific firmware is not compatible, such as flashing a SPR firmware(CDMA network) when the device was meant for BST or VMU(GSM network).

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/sm-j327p/sm-j327p/XAS/

This firmware "should" work with any network.
[General Questions and Answers] GRADE42:
Thank you for your reply along with the useful information and links you provided. They are very helpful.

I've gone (via your link) to the SM-J327P XAS firmware listed at Sammobile.com. Okay, I will download the latest version and flash it. I will post the updates soon.

Thank you.

Bluetooth issues - phone "hijacks" Spotify control, turns off call-audio on BT devic

BT seems is super annoying. Not sure if it started on the last update (9.1.0.153) or it was happening before as well.

I'm experiencing two issues related to BT:

1. during a call through BT headphones (Bose QC35), the BT profile changes automatically: call-audio is being toggled off, and the headset is no longer being used for the call. Turning it on during the call works for a few minutes and then it toggles off again. Tried to un-pair the device and pair it again.

Might be important to note, I also had a laptop connected to the headphones at the same time, but I definitely didn't have that issue with my previous phone (Xiaomi mi5s) in the same conditions.

2. when using Spotify on a laptop. if the app is also running on the phone, it randomly hijacks the control.

I think it happens only when the phone is connected via BT to a media device, doesn't matter if the laptop is connected to the same one or not. It happens to me in two situations:

a. using BT headphones connected to both the laptop and the phone.

b. when the phone is connected to BT speaker and the laptop is connected by wire to a different set (to an amp via DAC).

in the above scenarios two different laptops are used.

It's really annoying,

Any idea how I can solve this?

Thanks :)

p.s. device version is VOG-L29, don't know if it matters.

Hello,

By the way i map the right softkey (contacts) from the HTC today in the bottom Right of the screen to the Action Screen by:

using a reg editor, create a key called "113" (if not there already) under:

\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

with the following values type REG_SZ

Default = Action Screen

Open = \windows\HTCActionScreen.exe

No soft reset is need, once you close your reg. editor it will show up.

quite handy i think....

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] aepace:
It appears, I can't say conclusively, that around the time of the May security update on my Pixel 2, GPS and location services intermittently stop updating. For example, apps that use the phone's location (Google maps-- both on the handset and android auto, mapmyride, ingress) will not change my location as I move around. Sometimes, google maps on android auto will update, but only around every 10-20 seconds, and will place my blue dot someplace random in the vicinity, nowhere near me. Google Maps on Android Auto will say "Searching for GPS", Waze's location will just float around the map.

A restart will fix the problem, every time. But usually about once a day it comes back, requiring another restart. Very annoying.

I've done the following:

Cleared storage and cache for apps that use locations.

Cleared storage and cache for Google Maps.

Turned location services on and off, and set to "high accuracy"

Updated A-GPS data with GPS Status app.

Complete factory reset.

Any idea what could be going on? Thanks!

Strange, I only have this problem with Waze on Android Auto. It appears when I'm in a call, waze lost the gps signal. But when I switch to Google Maps and then immediately back to Waze the problem goes away until the next time I plug in my phone. I have this the april update I guess and definitely a waze update caused it.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] whoosename:
With the earlier Xperia phones you needed to unlock the bootloader before flashing (that you are allowed to unlock doesn't mean that your bootloader is unlocked). To unlock you need the script and the code from Sony. At the moment I don't remember where to get both (script and code). And what about DRM-keys?, is it there a TA-partition to backup before unlocking? And so on...

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/watch-urbane/nws2-170620-003-modified-boot-img-4-t3702100

Finally, what other tips or suggestions for mods or updates with Wear OS? There was a bit of custom ROM development back in the day, does anybody suggest exploring that?

Finally, how many other people are still using this device in 2019?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
This thread is about starting native Linux on Samsung Galaxy Note9. This isn't my first attempt to do such thing. The history looks like Galaxy Spica -> Galaxy J1 (2016) -> Galaxy Note9. So I know what I'm doing :D

Later I'll post instructions how to install and run it.

Note9 isn't my main device, so I won't work on dualboot. If some wants to make it, feel free to build dualboot (kexec) recovery and post it here.

Source code.

Kernel: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/crownlte-linux-os
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
First success

So, here is a first result.

With minor modifications to DECON (framebuffer) my Note9 is able to run Arch Linux form SD card.

So far it has no serial or USB console. I can't find a way to make UART JIG for Type-C Samsungs. USB gadgets are hardcoded and can't be easy changed to CDC ACM. This is not good and makes development harder.

Arch Linux says it started GUI but I don't know what happened to Xorg. It can be on back buffer or on another display (since Note9 has it via Type-C).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] giorgior.r:
Could install it on dualboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
Yes, it's possible. As for now kernel is inside phone memory and root FS is on SD card.

There are two ways to install it alongside Android:

Flash Linux kernel as recovery. So when you try to enter recovery it'll boot into Linux. You lose recovery in this case.

Install special dualboot/kexec recovery and start Linux from recovery menu. (If someone will make such recovery for Note9)

All Linux files (except kernel) are on SD card. SD has following partition scheme:

Storage. That's what your Android sees as SD card. FAT32 or exFAT

Apps2SD. Is someone still using it? However this partition can be 1MB in size.

Linux rootfs. That's where Linux "ROM" lives.

So SD is also ready for daily use.

For fbcon you need to patch decon driver. Take a look at my commits on GitHub.

Yes, RGB<->BGR is a common issue. I have it on J120F too. This hack work for J1. But it would be nice to find a source of the problem. I believe decon reports wrong color order.

WARNING! I had to disable fbcon on J1 because it messed up with Xorg.

Still no luck with USB. I try to configure it with configfs, but got error

Config c/1 of g1 needs at least one function

Looks like Samsung hardcoded something inside USB drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
Found out that USB configfs is heavily modified. That's the reason why Linux can't configure USB gadgets properly. Bring back compatibility seems to be a hard task.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
Since I'm a Windows Phone hacker, I can answer your question :D

That project is very similar to what I do here. Starting from Windows Phone 8, phone OS and desktop one have one (NT) kernel. Just like Android and desktop Linux do. Windows you see on NL950 on YouTube is "Windows for ARM". It looks like desktop but it can't run normal Windows EXEs because of different processor architecture. Maybe it can run desktop .NET applications (I've made proof-of-concept EXE that worked on both Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows XP) but I'm not sure.

Linux is a better way to get desktop OS on mobile device. Open source nature of most Linux software makes it possible to use almost any program on any processor architecture. Take a look at single board computers (like Raspberry Pi) if you want to see what Linux can do on ARM architecture.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] exadeci:
Interesting, is it more for the challenge itself or what's your goal?

Linux on Dex works great for me, it's missing a gui if you don't connect it to a display but you could probably trick it to believe that the phone screen is an external display.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
Since we use the same kernel can you share your work on GitHub too? Also I need all your current work on OS. What image you use? What modifications you made? It's a good idea for me to migrate to the same distro. This can speed up our work.
