How is this thread still empty??

Finally a really good music player. I'm done with retro music player and moving to this. Absolutely awesome work!

Suggestion: make the now playing view with the album as background less dark. It's hard to see it in the sun :)

Also, the miui equalizer is not recognized.
[Android Apps and Games] sadevelopers:
Thanks for the positive feedback.

I will surely listen to your suggestion about making the Now playing album art less dark. And I will also look into the EQ problem, but it may be difficult to track down as I don't have access to MIUI phone, but I will try to Google it :)

Cellular data problem with french carrier on LG V35 AT&T unlocked flashed FI firmware

Hello everyone,

I bought a LGV35 AT&T unlocked on amazon 3 months ago because I was so tempted by it. During the first 3 months with the AT&T firmware everything was fine, but all the crap AT&T apps was bothering me. So, I searched on internet for ways to get rid of the bloats and found out that you could cross-flash to unlocked google fi firmware, so I did. Everything went fine with the flash. Unfortunately, after 3-4 days my phone lose cellular data function. I can make calls and sms but can't have 4G/3G/2G, no cellular data at all. I tried a lot of things but no results. The only thing that worked is re-flash the fimrware but then after 3-4 days I lose cellular data function again. Can someone advise me about that ? My carrier is a french one (SFR). Is it possible to go back to the AT&T firmware again ?

I have a LG G7 as backup, so no worry here.

Thank you in advance for your responses,

Jenfir

Couple of thoughts as a novice I always like to investigate the most simple possibilities?
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] idntknoyunw:
And as a second idea from the simple side is with the AT&t software if you had this wi-fi connection made automatically perhaps it would be delivering you data through Wi-Fi as opposed to the cellular then once you switch the software it no longer had that automatic connection to all the AT&t hot spots
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Jenfir:
Hi, thanks for your replies. I have not reach the limit data yet.

I don't really understand the automatic wifi-connection setting. Now that I don't have the AT&T software anymore I don't think it affects the connectivity on my phone. I have doubt about the google connectivity services though. I have my phone running again over cellular data after factory reset and I did not install the app. I will see if it solves my problem. I will keep this thread updated. I still take other advices.

I don't see why not, the OP7 charges faster than the S10+ anyway so it's not like it'd charge the OP7 too quickly, however I haven't tried any such thing personally..

If you decide to try it then watch out for any bad signs such as the case or device feelings abnormally hot in such a case obviously remove the phone from the case immediately, but I doubt that would happen

I something weird came to my eyes. I just installed the latest version of SKTOOLS. in that great program you have the option to look at and delete installed programs.

GUES WHAT ...... i have the option to deinstall windows mobile 6.1 !

To me this is weird. Never could do this with the old rom. It looks to me that wm6 is on the rom and 6.1 update is running as a program or something. This means 6.1 is not running from the ROM at all ???? Or am i missing something here :-)

A ROM you just cannot deinstall as software ...... just a installed software program you can deinstall !!!!!

footnotes

After updating to WM6.1 in his installed programs list he is getting the option to uninstall WM 6.1 Any ideas

My guess would be that it is recognising this as a seperate app rather than a ROM as your installer used isnt optimised for 6.1 so it could be just marginally conflicting with it. However I would be interested to know what happened if you were to click uninstall :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dgh:
Yup would be nice to see what happens. However took me all weekend to reinstall all apps in my htc :) . I am a little scared to try and then reinstall everything again.

The uninstall is only in SKTOOLS remove program. Not in the standard one. Could be a conflict ..... but still it is weird.

The 6.1 ROM works flawless for me sofar. Big speed improvement. To bad about the drivers and the still unusable camera. Battery runs MUCH longer to :)

HAHA your one of the few that actually sound happy with it :p

I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.

Need root for an FM Radio app. :)

Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).

Otherwise a really perfect machine.

dual sim, and a microSD slot.

Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.

[General Questions and Answers] Evildead_666:
Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.

Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."

I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.

They just said to download an app from the App store....

They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional :)

Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).

OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.

Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s

I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.

Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).

Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?

Security Update 1st May 2019.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....

I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).

The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?

Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com

https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/

Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?

edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.

https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/

I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...
[General Questions and Answers] Systema Encephale:
The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.

The software updates are:

G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /

G398FNXXU1ASH1

Security patch level: 1 August 2019

(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).

I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

Same board in mine, and the A53 are listed as 1.56GHz.
[General Questions and Answers] Evildead_666:
I got it from the French Samsung Website. it looks like they almost have a version for each country...

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.

Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...

Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :

https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/

i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.

the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).

They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is... :)

Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.

its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.

the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.

Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.

Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like :) ?

edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.

Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).
[General Questions and Answers] Systema Encephale:
Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.

Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.

[General Questions and Answers] nuess0r:
I spent now several evenings trying to root this phone. No success yet. So I decided to report my findings up to now.

I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader. The process is the same as described for the Samsung Galaxy A10 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a10/how-to/magisk-root-galaxy-a10-series-t3963822).

Notes on unlocking:

You have to use the described method to enter download mode (Press Volume down & Home button, then connect the USB cable). Then you will see the option to unlock the bootloader. If you enter download mode via recovery or ADB then you will NOT be asked to unlock the bootloader.

The download mode (sometimes called Odin mode) does NOT support fastboot. So don't be surprised when fastboot doesn't recognize your phone. This is normal.

Just unlocking and relocking your phone does NOT change the "warranty void" status bit (also known as KNOX). The first time I flashed a Magisk pathed firmware did change this bit. More details on KNOX: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447832

My progress on rooting:

Generally I tried to follow the installation instructions from Magisk (https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root). As described above the unlock procedure is a little different for the XCover 4s.

You need to install the USB drivers from Samsung: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

I'm using the pathed Odin 3.13.1 from realbbb which works fine with the XCover 4S (https://xdaforums.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572)

I'm stuck after step 7 (flashing the patched firmware). The phone only boots into download mode reporting an error with vbmeta verification ("No sign info"). I found some discussions on XDA that Magisk 20 has some problems (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a70/help/a70-vbmeta-error-magisk-update-20-0-t3982421) and I tried with 19.3 which was reported as working on Samsung phone with Android Pie, but it did not help for the Xcover 4s, same error message again ("No sign info").

As the bootloader is unlocked, it should ignore vbmeta errors but it seams that some stuff still must be right. I found another rooting instruction where they replaced vbmeta also in the BL file (Magisk replaces it in the AP file), so I tried that as well but no difference.

Then to see what happens I replaced the patched vbmeta.img file in the Magisk patched AP with the vbmeta.img.lz4 file from the stock ROM. No success but at least a different error message was shown in the download mode ("Footer verification failed (6)"). I guess that the patched AP does not contain the expected footer information as the stock ROM. Information on "Android verified boot": https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/avb/+/master/README.md

My conclusion is, that the usual way of disabling partition verification by using an empty vbmeta.img does not work on this phone.

This is my current state where I'm stuck :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lomeltor:
I have the same problem...

Acording to: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

Maybe signature in boot is the problem, when you use vbmeta from stock rom?
