Thay want $75:00 a phone an one click wants $39:99 to unlock an root the same phone I don't know either one of them is a fair price for something people did for free on xda at one time ! I'll keep trying to unlock this phone myself an if I get right I'll put it up on xda for free because that's the way it should be !
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
They want a $100 for the Note 10+ and one click does not support the N10+(yes I realize this is the a50 forum). I see both sides of this.

In all my 10(?) years on Xda I have never had to pay for root! Let alone $100! We are in a world wide pandemic at this time and a $100 can be a lot of money. Even on a regular day, a $100 can be a lot to some people. I'm struggling myself atm, but would I pay $100 just for root? I would have to have quite a surplus of cash on hand and even then I don't believe I could justify the cost as much as I love custom rooms and have gotten away from having them since I first got my a50 not long after launch. I miss roms so much.

On the other hand..this project is about 3 year old I believe and it seems nearly impossible to work around knox until now! That's alot of time and effort put in to breaking one particular software. Does the author deserve contributions for all that tike and effort? I know if it were me I'd appreciate it. Especially if I was out of work. But $100 or even $40 is just to much. Can I justify $5-10? Maybe so and I believe far more people would be interested at that price point then $100 or even $75. In my opinion the root method will never be a true success at this kind of price point.

I guess thay do but still everything on this forum has bin done on a donation basis in the past . An last year I put up modest stock Rom for J7 perx for every update for free didn't even ask for a donation not once .
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you cant install custom bootloader on any samsung device. Bootloader loads first and must be verified using samsung keys, if cant verify then it will brick.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
not sure what you guys are talking about. Oneclick doesnt support any usa/can models with locked bootloaders since their service doesnt unlock bootloader (needs to be unlocked to root.)

My service also isnt to "root" the phone. Its to unlock the bootloader (normally not possible) which will then allow you to root afterwards if root is what youre looking for.

Also as far as price, the method is device specific and I need to purchase files from my source for each device so for that reason alone I obviously cant provide service for free as thatd mean im paying out of my own pocket. If there wasnt any profit involved it wouldnt make sense to spend hours each day unlocking phones (among ither things such as website, usb redirector, payment gateway to take secure payments etc.) if there was no money earned as I could use that time doing stuff i like to do such as security research and roms and other stuff i have been doing over a decade.

Also, this type of service has never existed and in turn has never been available for "free" on xda. I think people are getting it mixed up with "root" which has typically been done using exploits (like my root for s8 s8+ n8 s9 s9+ n9 etc.) which i posted for free and was using exploits as well as bootloader was still locked so root was limited.

That said, prices change but at the moment it is what it is. If you choose to use it then great, if its too much or you dont want to use it then also great.. I am also going through the pandemic and other personal stuff so i understand some ppl cant afford to spend any money right now but also understand if i could provide it "free" then I would but its just not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
its a paid service.. unlock is device specific and source charges for each device so no way to provide it for free..

its not a rom or root exploit etc. you can check my history and see everything ive done from roms to root exploits to mods etc. have always been posted for free on xda even to this day.. that has not changed..

unlock service from me is mainly to give ppl an option to unlock bl on devices where otherwise is not possible which in turn drives development on xda. Since providing service many roms have popped up, twrp, mods etc. on other devices when before this these device forums were bare lol
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
Sorry for the lack of proper terms here. Not sure exactly what I was thinking at that moment but as you can see it was partially defending you so I'm a bit disappointed in the way you choose to word your response. If I had $100 to spend I would be leary about what kind of customer service I would receive. As a decade old veteran of xda, I understand how tedious it can be to moderate the forums. As someone that sells phone service for all 3 US postpaid carriers, and a slew of prepaid services I understand how tedious it can be to assist certain customers at times. That said, if I was hoping people would shell out money to buy my service so I can make a living or just an extra buck, I would personally choose a different approach when addressing a potential customer. I defended you to a degree because of the nature of the project. As you said, its never been done before!

Personal issues aside, I'm intrigued to know more about the process. I can understand how this would be device specific but how device specific? I'd assume it would come down to a unique key for each device but I would think that was the extent of it. A basic formula to calculate the unique id per device especially. So I'm curious to know a bit more about how the process would work.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] peter couniaz:
Sorry for my outburst I guess if it works it works an everyone has the write to decide if thay want to pay the money to unlock the bootloader on their phone .
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
Theres no need to calculate anything. its tied to DID which is device specific.

Also, I am not really actively trying to get customers and if anyone is hesitant then I suggest they really rhink about it and make decision that is best for them.

As far as support, I dont offer support outside of unlocking the device. If someone wants twrp or root or roms etc. then suppoet is provided by that developer, not by me. With that said, theres probably hundreds that have unlocked on various devices at this point and ive not had one person so far complain or say there was any issues with the unlock itself.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] peter couniaz:
I throw in the towel on this one if you guy think you can unlock the bootloader on my straight talk A50 the firmware says sm-S506DLUDS7BTH2 . Let me know !

That's ok I'll keep trying . It seems the phone blocks everything I try to do but we will see what happens . The hardware version say A505U.05 I'm going to try flashing the latest A505U1 firmware later today if that works I'll get back you .

Hi Guys,

i got a "small" problem, i got a Samsung A50fn brick in front of me,

it is only recognized as "Exynos9610" by windows or "Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04e8:1234 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Exynos9610" by linux. Sadly i do not know how to flash any software to it, as it is not recognized by Odin (Windows) or Heimdall (Linux). I know that i need to install the right drivers for it, but cannot find the right one in the Samsung USB driver repo.

Regards,

Hi I want to root my phone. I am on android 9 and OOS 9.0.8. I have seen the guides on XDA and that is not what I am scared of. Can anyone link the correct twrp and magisk files that would I use as I am not sure which ones are suitable for the current OOS and android version I am on now. I have read loads of people saying using the wrong files can brick your phone and I dont really want to do that.Thanks.

Just use latest magisk and latest Blu spark twrp bcuz you are on the latest version of Android [Android 9 (Pie)]

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Blunts47:
Yeah it's pretty confusing to me too that's why I just follow his most recent stuff on his GitHub instead of the downloads section. He stopped updating the downloads section I think so that's why I've switched to his GitHub for he updates more frequently and faster to his GitHub.

(It's so he doesn't have to update his files multiple places bcuz it must get tedious for him/her)

Every app from google playstore ask for wifi setup inorder to get installed :confused: .( To fix that change settings from download app)

Fingerprint data disappears after a reboot. Fingerprint unlock is a bit slow. Itz OK. But face unlock works quick

LTE Works without any problem.

The inbuilt keyboard is a bit weird though :eek:

Kernal used is Hardrock 3.18.134

Also, can't sign-in to MI account. (I don't need it actually)

Other than these. It is smooth.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] beingtejas:
I clarify you one thing

The in call volume bugs is there and will be there for every each pie rom of max 2, till it get solved by updated source code and that's not possible, so it will be there for ever..

Echo is not present for me and even I gave audio echo fix , long ago..

But the result differs , for some its completely removed the echo, for some it worked partially and they get acceptable echo that is too low , and for some it always there.. so it depends

For me there is not a bit of echo.. after my fix.. remaining issues are with source codes from MI , that is too outdated to fix these issues..

I just tried this ROM. This is the ever built tremendous ROM. Even(everything working perfect) (ignore next line) u can't see ur Google contacts even in official Google contact app. And every stock app are in Chinese language (and love Chinese language coz I m from india). Camera(now working as ppls told me) can't switch between different mods. Just role back(now on havoc 2.8 as mentioned by my new friend from xda but didn't remember his name lol sorry) to new ROM after in few hours. Plz ( do it again and again coz u devs are awesome and sorry for my review on this rom I m noob and don't know anything about dev things)( ignore all negative things from this post) don't do this again without testing custom ROM.

Thank u devs for ur jaw dropping work on custom ROMs.

Thanks a lot again.

Hi all,

I am about to move to another country for a business trip in a couple of minutes and I have a question on roaming:

I would like to avoid paying lots of money due to roaming just because I have an active data connection.

I saw I can learn Windows Mobile 6.0 to not do roaming for POP3 and Imap accounts, as well as for Exchange accounts.

However, I have not found any setting for Windows Live to avoid roaming.

Did I overlook or can't I (automatically) stop this for windows live?

I know I can manually change the synchronisation plan, but this is quite bad I think.

Many thanks

Andi

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] MrDusan:
Hello everyone,

I've been having this issue for several months now where all my social apps like messenger, instagram, whatsapp, flock, gmail and so on won't show notifications when my phone is connected to any type of wifi.

The notifications are late, or they show up when i open the app. Sometimes they repeat themselves even after i checked, like something is blocking them till some point.

I tried SO MANY things to fix this (factory reset, disable device care and any battery saving settings, reinstalled apps,...) and ended up using 4g all the time as the most solid one for the time being.

It's just very frustrating that something as simple is this is not getting fixed for a long time now.

Does anyone have similar issues? Or maybe even a fix for this? I noticed this happening to other people around me using different samsung devices.

I don't know if this is a samsung related issue or something else.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

So I pre-ordered the Note 10+ in Aura Glow color and I've been pondering what case to put it in that won't hinder it's awesome looks.

I came across the Slickwraps Naked skins, and they seem like a perfect fit for my needs. I checked on Youtube to see if anyone else had done a comparison between the glossy and matte versions of the naked skin, but it doesn't seem like anyone has.

I'm curious if the glossy naked skin is as prone to fingerprints as the normal back of the phone. It seems the matte is less of a fingerprint magnet, but I don't know if it will block the "glow" on the back of the phone.

Has anyone else thought of doing this or had these skins on other phones in the past?

I have used them, it still gets fingerprints but nowhere near as bad as the bare oem glass. Also, some clear cases stick to the clear wrap giving it a water bubble look.
