[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Light_Wing:
Is it worth trying to install firmware (official) for the g9600 phone (China Snapdragon)? And from there if that was successful, would I be able to use CROM to OEM unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
nope. it will very likely fail at the Odin flash process. you can if you want to, but im betting it will fail. Hell, i even had to use a modded Odsin just to flash another carriers firmware on mine, but it worked like a charm. That being said, it was all within the same basic model info, what youre proposing isnt
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Light_Wing:
I'll try the modded Odin, if its a fail, I'll probably give up

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] luis4ever:
Hi guys i hope you can help me.

I'm from Mexico. Some months ago i received as a gift an AT&T Unlocked N950U device. Yesterday i updated my device to Android 9 N950U1 XAA unlocked version with no problems except for the device asking for an unlock code. I tried to get an unlock code from the official site but it says the device is reported as lost or stolen???? (I believe it was a device some people sold and then they went to at&t and said the device was stolen to get a new one).

Now. I was thinking 3 options:

1.- Try to get the code with some credits from an unlock box.

2.- Buy the premium code from some ebay reseller.

3.- Try to go back to oreo but bootloader was uploaded to bit 6 so...

PS: I don't know how it was possible for an unlocked device to lock again after flashing a diferent software version. I firstly tried to update the official way but since i'm on mexico and an at&t sim card is not installed on the device an update is never found. Also i didn't find any Pie update for at&t to flash with odin.

Ps2: The glass is broken and the screen only works if you set brightness above 70-75% so if i flash anything the update wizard is a pain in the ass(because screen is totally black) i could pass thanks to Talkback.

What you think? What is the best i can do now? Screen replacement is not an option at this moment...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] torojet:
Hi,

I have recently moved to the US and for the first time, I tried to use Google Pay. However, the phone does not allow me to use the app and it says: "Couldn't finish the setup to pay in shops. This phone can't be used to pay in shops. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way."

I have known that when I booted my device, I can see the "unlocked" sign at the bottom of the screen.

I have also installed Root checked basic and it says "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device."

My phone settings are:

Android version 8.0.0 OPR1.170623.032

Android security patch level 2018-10-01

MIUI version Global 10.2/stable 10.2.3.0(OAGMIXM)

Kernel version 3.18.71-perf-gd30d7f9

I have looked other threads (those were for mi 5). Couldn't solve the issue.

What I have tried:

- Disabling some settings in google play services, as it is mentioned in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1N2fpbZeMI

- Try to install Magisk, but I couldn't find it in the Play Store. Later, I have installed root checker and it says the device is not rooted.

- Clearing all data of Google Pay and install it again. Nope
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
well thankfully you have already stated the cause of this issue very clearly: it's your unlocked bootloader. since your phone has not been rooted before it will be a bit cumbersome to back up

everything

since in order to relock your bootloader your whole phone will be wiped, so all your app data, documents, photos etc will be erased. if you do not wish to go down this path, you can do the other thing which is to install magisk, but I am unsure if it is fully compatible with miui. also, magisk can only be found here on xda, not on the google play store, so google around a bit. you will also need to install a custom recovery for this which you can find in the development section of this mi 5s forum.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mablue:
Remove data and catches of play store

Force close it

Install two app with unofficial ways: openvpn connect & open VPN servers

Connect to some other country VPN

And open and wait play store
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] torojet:
I have tried to install TWRP using fastboot in command line. However, when I close my phone and tried to open it using POWER AND VOLUME UP, it boots into MI Recovery, not TWRP. Is it possible to use fastboot boot twrp.img, then install magisk?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
well u are supposed to boot the twrp image first through cmd before permanently installing it... :silly:

I'm really not sure about that, since I personally just permanently install twrp. it should work, but no guarantees from me.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] torojet:
Ok. I have figured it out how to install Magisk, and also how to install TWRP.

After the installation of TWRP, when you write the command line 'fastboot reboot' or something like that, you immediately press VOLUMEUP AND POWER buttons. It should boot into TWRP. Do read only!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
actually just typing

fastboot reboot recovery

should do the trick, no need to physically press anything on the phone.

did installing magisk fix gpay for you?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] torojet:
If I let go the phone to reboot, it automatically reboots into Mi5 recovery. Pressing the buttons solved my issue. I have added card to the Google Pay, but I need to contact with my bank for confirmation :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
If that doesn't work, the actual solution would have been:

Install MiFlash on a Windows PC, attach the phone while it's running, select at the bottom right the option "Lock" (or similar named) and Apply (process is out of my head, haven't used it for 2 years). That's it, bootloader locked again and security checking apps should work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kingcapning:
Hi, it seems OnePlus and EE are either not bothering to update the 5G variant or they're having trouble updating our phones due to the 5G modem, i maybe wrong but it just seems weird that OnePlus haven't even put out a statement as to why were not getting updated the same time as the 4G variant.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stuclark:
The lack of updates for the 5G is really appalling. The 5G is meant to be the flagship device, yet it is consistently ignored.

For example, the 4G variant is now on 9.5.11, yet the 5G version is on 9.5.5 and missing a TON of features in the later updates

NONE of the Android P betas work on the 5G
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] H4X0R46:
Yikes! That's really just awful! I don't live in Europe and don't have the 5G model, but that would infuriate me. Being a flagship device with the price to match, that's just unacceptable.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CraigUK87:
Yeah I agree, we're 2 months out of date.. my 6 was getting updates within the first week of the new google security patch.

f**k all for my 5G... not good at all. Still, I will carry on in hope..
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
Finally, people addressing the issues on a public forum. I keep tweeting OnePlus but I haven't heard a dickie bird from them.

The 5G variant isn't even on the list of supported devices on the OnePlus website! "Buy our flagship device with our next gen technology inside but we're not going to support it". I massively regret buying the 5G variant because of the lack of support, acknowledgement that the device exists, no beta inclusion - it's ridiculous!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iRhyiku:
So there are others with this device!

It's absolutly absurd the way they are treating us - we pay more in total for a more premium version of their already premium device and the last software update was a month ago with no official word on what's happening.

Last time trusting Oneplus with premium that's for sure.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forid200:
This is an absolute joke. Pay more for a device and get less. I've made countless posts on the OnePlus forums. Spoken to support, OnePlus Support push me to EE and EE push me to OnePlus. I'm reaching the end of my tether.

I totally regret getting the 5G version. Costing me an arm and a leg monthly too... For an over promised and under delivered 5G experience.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
This device is costing considerably more per month than the regular 4G version and this is how we get treated? This is beyond ridiculous. I tweeted OnePlus Support and I've heard sod all back. I'm fitting to go to CEX and asking if they'll do a straight swap...

9.5.6 has started being used pre-installed on new devices apperently. Odd
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
It's a carrier 5g device guys

Did you expect anything less? Not much op can do if the carrier needs to push the updates, same thing with the 4g version, international version is the way to go.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stuclark:
That's not really the case. The phone is unlocked and international version; just with limited carrier support currently
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
The carrier doesn't push the updates at all. It's an unlocked device and I've had a Vodafone SIM in it from day one!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Sorry I should've said UK

Since it's UK exclusive
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CosmicInsight:
it is different firmware, so not necessarily the same numbering scheme as the regular 7Pro. From what I've seen. The 5G has gotten 1 update per month.. which isn't bad. It could be alot worse.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
Doesn't take away from the fact that we're still rocking a security patch that's 2 months old!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stuclark:
It's not. It is on sale in other countries in Europe, and it now looks like it's going to be sold in the US as well (on Sprint if I remember rightly)

The model may be "European", but it certainly isn't an UK exclusive!

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Only it *HASN'T* got 1 update per month. If it had, it would be on at least the July security patch, but it is stuck on the June patch (and the August patches are now out)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Oh I see

Well hopefully more resources are direct towards the 5g variant
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Colmdave:
Where are you guys buying the unlocked 5g variant? (country/website)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stuclark:
It is unlocked and un-branded directly from EE in the UK, and I believe the same is true for the other European countries it is now in sale in
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CraigUK87:
I got mine from EE, then moved contracts to Vodafone...they have unlimited 5G and it's in my area, and for half the price?

Does anyone know if we can actually flash AOSP roms or others and just lose the 5G??? Havok OS for e.g.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
Nope, it havent even rooted my 7 Pro 5G because the development for it is pretty much non-existant! OnePlus are p*****g a lot of people off because of their lack of updates and support for the 5G variant. I mean, we're still stuck on a security patch from June - 2 months old!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carro_d:

[General Questions and Answers] SG_VIPER:
I made the mistake of purchasing an Oppo A3s on an impulse and have just resorted to checking the xda site for updates. Over the last few months, it seems like there may have been some changes to the situation and I wanted to know if this root option was legitimate.

androidleaker(dot)com(forwardslash)unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-and-root-oppo-a3s

On other threads, it's been stated that one of the later colour os updates allowed unlocking of the bootloader and one user seemed to get it working?

"flash with .zip via install storage, zip flashable, fill it with emmc_appsboot, if you are having trouble getting through Qfill, I've tried oppo and the bootloader is disabled, and it works..."

I've never had to deal with a locked bootloader like this so any help is appreciated. the amount of bloatware on this thing is unbelievable.

There is only one wat I came back from the TWRP cycle of death.

I followed the steps for the side load in the OP of this thread. The bottom of the first post.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-x/how-to/fw-emui-9-1-0-123-evr-al00-t3935995

The update is listed and can be renamed (I used the 123 update_full_base.zip)

The nocheck.img was a challenge, but I found one in a TWRP backup I had done and save off. Doing a search of XDA later I see that there is also versions in the Mate 20 pro and Mate 10 forums.

Now I have a normal eRecovery, but I cannot obtain root and the recovery StockAL00, magiskAL00 amd newer images changed in bootloader don't seem to make a difference.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Steamer2499:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Rudolpht:
Damn, that's worse than I had it. I don't know if there is a way to HStool or modified HiSuite take a ROM update, which would return you to regular eRecovery.

I'm hoping that can work if you can Fastboot from bootloader through those steps or HiSuite recovery.

With my crazy sideload I cannot root, I get prompted for updates constantly (with updates set off) and HStool & HiSuite didn't work. Since I don't have root cannot do ENMUI flasher.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] internetpilot:
Does the Moto G7 finally have a 64-bit ROM or did Moto hose us again with a 32-bit version? I'm asking because I'm interested in the G7 as an eventual upgrade to my Moto G5S Plus, but it's not much of an upgrade for me if it still can't run a more current 64-bit GCam port.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
It is 64bit. I can run gcam ports of the new versions
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] fivefour:
Unless your battery is going bad in the G5S I recommend not upgrading, I upgraded from the G5 Plus to the G7 and it's not really worth the upgrade. I type this on my G5 and find myself using it more than the G7 while at home.

The screen doesn't seem as bright, the ppi is a bit lower, the camera is not really better in my experience this far, the fingerprint sensor is on the rear and can't turn the device off like the G5, the sides are plastic, the speaker is more tinny and bottom facing. It's just not really worth upgrading from what you have now in my opinion.

*Edit*

It seems your device doesn't have the same level of dev support the G5 Plus has, so I recant my statement about not upgrading. My G5 is running PixelOS which is great, stock Oreo was just okay. The G7 performance and the fact it's running Pie may be enough of a reason to upgrade for you.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] mingkee:

My Moto G5S Plus has 4 GB of RAM, but the stock ROM (originally Nougat and the Oreo update) are still both 32-bit. Same thing with my son's Moto G6 (with Oreo and Pie update). I'm glad Moto finally came to their senses and went with a 64-bit ROM. Thanks folks!
