Did you flash anything onto this device that would cause a "Custom" status? For one im not sure how you managed to even get a Custom Binary without setting the Warranty Bit. 2nd I noticed "Eng Mode: Dev Device" in Download Mode. And thirdly How do you manage to tick OEM Unlocking Off, On and then back Off accidentally? Changing the OEM Unlocking setting requires a Factory Reset each time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] besmirgogu:
I have never flashed anything other than stock DT firmware on this device (multiple times). It was never rooted...

It seems strange to me as well that Warranty bit is 0 while it says "Current Binary: Custom".

It says "Eng Mode: Dev Device" as this is a testing device that Samsung releases to its partners (mainly Telco Partners) for testing and development, so it never was a commercial unit for sale.

OEM Unlocking was off and I remember ticking it "on" by mistake as I did not intend to perform any flashing at the time. As I can recall I left it on and next morning phone reboots claiming "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". I would bet that I left it on but in download mode you can see that it says "OEM LOCK: ON" which I guess means "OEM UNLOCK: OFF".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Munawar Mehmood:
so this is the problem, you are flashing commercial firmware on testing device to rectify the custom lock. try flashing combination firmware. in this guide is a link to download combination firmware. it is official combination firmware to solve device problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] besmirgogu:
I managed to flash COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU3ASF1_BoxWares.tar.md5. Phone tries to reboot showing corrent model but on top of screen it says "Boot image signature check fail!!!" and "Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set!!!"

In download mode CURRENT BINARY:Custom and SYSTEM STATUS:Custom

I have added below a couple of screen shots of the situation now:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Munawar Mehmood:
i have once again gone through the entire thread and i see that you mention odin version 3.13.3, while the latest version of odin is 3.13.1. and i am using odin version 3.13.1. try this specific version of odin. and flash combination firmware. it seems from latest screen shot that your phone is not flashing any firmware. it just shows progress on pc but on phone it is not happening at all. try the odin version i mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 9779361:
My working theory is that because this is a testing device it's marking any firmware that isn't the specific engineering firmware the device shipped with as a "Custom Binary" you wouldn't be able to flash official releases. (Including Combination Firmware) You would probably need to return the device to the manufacturer or provider and request that the original operating system image be restored.

However please take this with a grain of salt. I'm not certain this is the case.

Do at&t customers need to flash back to h931 to get the right bands after us998 root?

1st, I'm trying to purchase a v30, but I'm not sure if the ls998 from sprint will work fine on att, what I've read seems to suggest that it is all the same hardware and will work fine unless it's taken to verizon.

2nd, I'm on att prepaid. Does that mean I need to flash back to h931 after rooting with us998 to get all the bands on att LTE?

If I don't flash back, what bands am I missing? 29 and 30? How detrimental is that to service? I travel my region a lot.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
My wife, my, my sister, my brother in law, my mother, three other friends are all on AT&T and using US998 (either native or converted from LS998). None of us need AT&T LTE bands 29 and 30.

IF 29 and 30 are like LTE band 5, they are just supplemental to the workhorse LTE bands 2,4 12(17).

I doubt there's any places that have ONLY LTE band 29 or 30. (Unless someone can prove it to me.)

Even then if there is one or two places, you still have HSPA. ;)

Don't obsess about AT&T LTE bands 29 and 30.

See here, other AT&T customers agree. Not important:

Your posts are so informative! Thanks. Based on another post you made about aosp, I searched ebay for an ls998, us998, as998, or vs996 and picked an ls998 with some wear for less than 100 bucks.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
From what I can tell the XT1789-05 is a dual-sim and the XT1789-01 is a single-sim device.

I suspect that is the problem, or it just didn't flash correctly.

Either way locking the bootloader should only be done if firmware is stock unrooted and working correctly.

My only suggestion is trying the rescue option in.

Has anyone seen any confirmation that the 5G variant for T-Mobile AT&T and Sprint will have the x55 modem. I've only seen a handful of sites confirming this but nothing official from any of the carriers or Sammy. I figured they would have to file something with the FCC I've never really navigated through their search feature.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sirzarmo:
Thanks!

Been waiting for someone to create a cannonical guide of how to root this phone.

Saw someone with magisk who had WiFi problems, WiFi works ok you?

Also one would assume it disables the OTA update feature, probably better write it.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Displax:
WiFi problems appears when you flash boot not from your ROM build. Use only the same boot.img to the build number of ROM.

It is. But you can still update via Magisk if you don`t touch system partitions. Else - flash manualy.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] seburton:
Wow,

Thank's a lot!

As you said, I didn't know this way to root a device.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
That someone was me. But, I believe that happened because I've used boot.img from 10.3.4.0 branch on GitHub (instead of using boot.img from 10.3.5.0 branch) and, also, I've used "fastboot reboot" command instead of "fastboot continue". As soon as the 10.3.5.0 branch appeared online I've decided to test this method again and it worked, that's why I've decided to share this with all community.

I don't think it will disable OTA feature. Probably, as soon as a new OTA comes out it will be installed on Slot A (because up until now there's only been one update and it was installed on slot B...so everyone should now be on firmware V10.3.5.0 running on Slot B). So, if I'm not mistaken, the "worst" thing that could happen is to lose root (since the update will be installed on Slot A and boot.img on that Slot is still the stock one).

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sirzarmo:
Why thank you dear, I'll root now if so.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
Hello!

Well, in fact, this method breaks OTA. It downloads but it doesn't install.

My guess is we need to flash stock boot.img and then apply the OTA update and then patch the new boot.img again.

I've noticed a new boot.img on GitHub today, hopefully it will be the correct one.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Displax:
You can simply follow this guide, if you do not touch system partitions.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md#devices-with-ab-partitions
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
Tried it already. It ain't possible because of 2 reasons:

1 - The supposly boot.img backup doesn't exist. Probably Magisk only does it if installed through TWRP and not by patching boot.img

2 - The OTA package fails to install. "A problem has occurred"...while trying to initiate the install.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
You can change slot through fastboot. It will erase all user data (factory reset) but it's better than the phone not booting.

The other possible solution, I've sent you a PM (because external link).

fastboot --set-active=a (or b if you're now on a)

An offcial stock rom wouldve fixed my problem in no time. I changed the partition and got to a menu where I could chosse to factory reset but its been sitting on formatting data for like half hour...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
It should be quite fast...guess you're out of luck for the time being my friend.

By the way, you've used fastboot reboot or fastboot continue after changing slot?

It should be fastboot reboot

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
You'll have to change slot and boot on that slot. You'll lose all your user data but the phone will boot ok and receive latest OTA. Either that or you have to wait for someone to dump you a stock 10.3.7.0 boot.img in order to fix those issues. On GitHub there isn't a boot.img for latest build yet.

Hi there,

I have been Googling for a while and haven't come across anything.

I am currently looking for Bluetooth Hotspots in Europe and Australia, as my device (Himalaya) doesn't have WiFi.

Does anybody know of a website that can list these hotspots by technology (IR, Wifi, Bluetooth etc) or even if Bluetooth Hotspots exist at all? (They seem to exist in Africa).

I have never seen one in Australia.

Thanks for any assistance. Cheers!

i never heard about bluetooth hotspots being used before

bluetooth is not really good at having many users connected

and have a pretty poor range and is pretty poorly implemented in many many devices

Hey, I'm kinda out of the track for newest ROMs in Mido world but I'm looking for one which gonna ends up in hands of person that's completely not tech savvy.

Below some wishes:

0. not MIUI or MIUI mod

1. vanilla as much as possible, zero additional features like top bar customization - it's not gonna be used anyway

2. stable as much as possible, without any major issue or sys apps crashing, this person can panic when sees some kind of error

3. longest battery life (kernel changes can be made) - even if it's going to hurt performance or smooth experience but .2 is still more important

4. working encryption

5. Pie but I'm not gonna be mad if Oreo

6. future updates or OTA isn't needed, because .2 is more important, also not gonna be used
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Bahura:
Oreo=LineageOS + Franco kernel + root (Magisk)

Pie=IDK
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] arsh1129:
Aex pie is very stable

You have to be carefull buying usb adapters for the new notes as i had problems with a usb c to aux , they dont work , i have tryed 5 different models and each just give the message unsupported , so no sound through standard or expensive headphones , seems like samsungs own adapter is the only one that works , which is a pain seeing as i cant get one in shops or on samsungs nl shop.Just because its usb c does not mean any adaoters will work on newer samsung phones missing the headphone jack , bit tight fisted the adapter was not in the box on the first note without the headphone jack as apple did give the adapter for the first 2 years phones , now they dont and for over 1000 for a phone its bad no flagship comes with this cheap adapter.

Hi dear enthusiasts, I'm making a bootloader code generator script, based on sorinbotirla's script, link: Bootloader Code Generator for Huawei P20 EML-L29. I know that the code is 16 digit. So, there is some questions:

1. Someone, who unlocked RNE-L21's bootloader, ask me please, is that code starts with 15 (15XXXXXXXXXXXXXX) or not? If you can give me next digits (3rd, 4th).

2. How can possible to get bootloader unlocking code, using only IMEI code, as it do DC-Unlocker? If there is very skillful men, ask me please how it works. It is connected to some calculations and formulas?

3. How I can disable device reboot after 5 wrong keys at command fastboot oem unlock? If I run sorinbotirla's script, 3-4.5 seconds need to reboot again to rescue mode after 4 attempt (1 code in 1 second). If disable this it would be very faster.

4. How works USB dongles, that can get bootloader code. I don't have any skills on dongles.

5. Can adb's source code answer this questions, or bootloader code check is based some server, because on console adb writes FAILED (remote: check password failed!) or FAILED (remote: device will reboot after 30S due to 5 times of wrong key.). I checked that, it does not connected to internet, but what is that remote thing?

The script is generated ~40000 codes in a day. I also modified the script with randomized generation.

I emailed to Huawei support ~5 times, they not giving me the code, even when I said that all responsibility come to me, not the company. DC-Unlocker and such things I will never use, because first it is paid service, why I should pay to something that can do almost every Snapdragon-based phone (correct me if I wrong), even I unlocked my Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 525, by the way you can change firmware without rooting on Windows phone. it comes that Windows phone is more free than Android (or for sure Huawei devices). And second, it turns out that bootloader unlocking is Mafia, Huawei is not giving that, instead of that "third party" companies giving that for fee, but if thay can get the code, why I can't? It turns out that these companies are partners of Huawei.

So, if I don't unlock the bootloader, this phone always will be on Android 8.0, and there is models that even not updated from Android 7. Also I don't like EMUI, I want more stock Android than that. The device is good, but firmware and software not.

What is difference between Huawei and Apple? The both locked his devices, but Apple at least giving users new versions for 5 years.

What is difference between Mate 10 Lite's firmware and OS, and Lumia 950 XL's firmware and OS updates? If you think that Windows 10 Mobile is dead, then EMUI 8 is dead too, except for apps. Because Windows 10 Mobile stuck on 1709, and my Mate 10 Lite is stuck on EMUI 8, but my Lumia 950 XL at least gets 4 feature update, while my Huawei gets 2. And Windows 10 Mobile will get cumulative updates until December every months, while Mate 10 Lite's last security update has been on April. And I like Windows 10 Mobile more than Android or iOS.

This case is something special. The phone is completely protected, and when I mean completely, that is an understatement as it has 20 feet drop protection!

Everything from the fingerprint sensor, the buttons, the charging port. I have huge hands but I have no problem to get The S-Pen out. I highly suspect others people with larger hands will have a harder time to remove the stylus.

Once you put this case on you'll probably never remove until you get your next phone as the removal process can prove difficult for some. For $20 and prime shipping, I don't see why anyone would spend more for less protection. An easy 5 stars, case closed!

And there is not screen protector comes with it. I think that a glass screen protector is going to be the way to go on this phone due to the stylus. If all other things were the only factor, the case is a solid choice for the money.

All in all, this case is a great alternative to the Otterbox Defender style case. . I am very pleased and for less than half the price of a Defender style case, this is beyond a good bargain.
