[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mtrackerbeyond:
Hi i am new here and need help with updating my Samsung note 9 i still have a baseband N960USQS1ARI5 but will like to update to the latest firmware. i'm using an unlocked AT&T phone. can anyone guide me? I'm not sure if updating the firmware will lock the phone and the process to update, do I just update the firmware in stages as the updates were released till i get to the latest update or can i update straight up to the latest? I am thinking of using Odin, is that a safe way to do this? any help will be appreciated. Lastly, can I change from the AT&T firmware to lets say a none carrier based firmware so as to stop seeing the AT&T logo on boot up? Maybe switch to a firmware that supports global or international? Does anyone have links to an unlocked firmware update i can use, as well? Please help!:confused::confused:

I must state that the phone never updates automatically as it always says the software is up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
to your last point, at&t phones are notoriously bad at updating

factory unlocked phones will remain forever unlocked and phones unlocked that are bespoke to a specific carrier will also remain unlocked even with Odin flashes providing that the method employed to unlock it was legitimate. Some unlock methods employ root and only trick the phone into thinking its unlocked. Well, once you remove root, and thusly the trick, the unlock is gone. I have ran across rare examples where the person swore up and down that they unlocked their phone with a legit unlock code and that it relocked to a carrier once the sim was inserted and initial programming completed, but i dunno. Sounds weird to me, but every person who said this also said that the phone locked to a carrier other than the one it came from originally. Take that for what its worth, but i still mostly stand by the first couple lines of this section of my diatribe

If you want the at&t crap gone, get the N960U1 firmware and flash it in Odin. You will need the modified version of Odin to flash it so it can ignore the 255 errors the phone throws up from flashing firmware for a carrier (or, in this case, no carrier) on to a phone that it wasnt originally designated (not designed) for

go to sammobile.com/firmwares, get the info for the firmware you want to d/l, get the Frija tool or Samfirm and download the firmware thru one of those as theyre literally 5x faster and flash it

I'm using Ricky's ROM with topbar, and I can't seem to get rid of the unread mail icon near the top left. When I look at the sliding panel that has missed calls, voicemails, unread emails, etc - they all say 0, but the icon won't go away. Something I'm doing wrong?
[HTC Excalibur] ruinertt:
I get this sometimes as well. If you know what app created the icon (Outlook, TXT message, 3rd party email, etc), then you just need to click on it and then perhaps click on the message again (even if it is read). It *should* disappear after that.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You HAVE unread messages somewhere :) Double check....
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Whenever you reboot your phone or turn it off and on, refresh the screen, whatever, it will not display any numbers or info next to your missed calls or messages. It is something stupid about the system. It doesn't keep track in a good way of missed calls or what not, but then again, I can't think of any phone that does this well. Most phones that have this type of setup where it displays your messages or missed calls in a panel, don't have the ability to save that info once the phone has been rebooted.

I know this happens to me, it's just the way things are. You just have to roll with the punches. Sorry.

If you are running CHomeWeather, when it updates the plugin, it reloads your homescreen, so this might be what's causing you this problem.
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
Sorry to jump into your thread with a question, but I've just bought my dash, and already enjoying v23.

my question is what is the 'E'? (is it email? how to get rid of it) and anyway to disable to up-down arrow in the top center?
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
Yes, you did. The "E" is for the Edge network ("G" is for GPRS.) The up/down arrow is for the JOGGR scrolling feature. You can disable it in the JOGGR settings.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
it seems to be a threading glitch.

viewing the message sometimes doesnt reset the notification icon.

As stated above, quickly click on the text message feature in the panel and quickly followed by the end key. WOrks for me.

There seems to no longer be a way to root, since the kingroot method seems dead atm. Is it possible to root my device anymore?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jamiphar:
I have an unlocked AT&T V30 H931 that I've been using on Verizon with a stock Verizon Oreo ROM. I got a prompt this morning saying System Update 14 was ready to install, so I accepted the update. It proceeded to update until it got stuck on the white Verizon boot screen with the animated dots. I left it here for a while in case it would eventually make it past this, but I gave up after 90 minutes.

I can reboot, go to download mode, bring up the recovery menu, reset, choose safe mode - none of these change anything. Whenever I try to boot, it just hangs at that screen. I've tried using LGUP to revert to the Oreo ROM I had, but I get an error with that. To top it all off, my brothers have the same phones and ROMs and they're in the same boat I'm in after accepting this update.

So, what can I do at this point? I thought maybe I could install Pie via LGUP, but I haven't been able to find a place to download the appropriate files from.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Use newer Dev Patched LGUP that can handle Pie (some stuff changed before aborting, so you may have partial Pie).

Go into Download mode manually, Refurbish to most recent Oreo KDZ.

Master Reset.

See Instructions in post #3 of this thread, about downgrading to Oreo...

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/vs996-lg-v30-vs99630a000704arb00-kdz-t3952254

Use the newer Dev Patched LGUP from that thread. Uninstall any prior version. Read the installation instructions.

______

Then wait for Verizon VS996 Pie KDZ to be released publicly.

Use same newer Dev Patched LGUP to install that, when available.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jamiphar:
Great, it's working with the dual mode LGUP. Thanks!

Do you know why the OTA upgrade didn't work? I haven't had any trouble with previous OTAs, but of course this one is installing Pie.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Glad you recovered!

You aren't the only one who got bit by this. There's another thread going with almost same circumstances. Originally I thought he tried to install OTA with TWRP custom recovery still installed, but he was full VS996 stock (from US998), and he knows what he's doing.

No, I don't know why -- but I'm very distrustful of any partial image OTA updates. Learned that from Droid Turbo forum. I always prefer to manually flash full image, as it gives me more control.

Full image Pie KDZ for VS996 should be released publicly any day now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jamiphar:
Ok, I see. I'm making a mental note to wait for KDZ releases in the future. :)

One more question: my brother's phone, which has the same issue, has data on its internal storage that he hasn't backed up. Is there any way to downgrade without having to wipe the internal storage or perform a reset?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Probably won't work, but using Dev Patched LGUP he can TRY to use "Upgrade" mode to go back to most recent Oreo. It's not really Upgrade but if successful, it would keep his data.

If that doesn't work, then he needs to use Refurbish mode.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] smurfmeat:
You're lucky, I lost download mode and the ability to LGUP and kdz. I've never had any problems using an OTA update when on stock firmware but I sure as hell learned my lesson. I feel sorry for those poor people that don't understand these issues and just take an OTA update because they don't know any better and lose features on their phones. Perhaps ignorance is bliss.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
So you lost download mode after an OTA update? Just trying to understand whats happening here.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] smurfmeat:
Yeah, on stock Verizon firmware, update restarted the phone, booted to a failed update screen, then back to the normal OS. But I don't see my unlocked bootloader warning screen anymore, and when I tried to use LGUP, I found I didn't have download mode anymore, so currently unable to flash any kdz.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
What about TWRP?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] smurfmeat:
Lost that, too. I've never had an OTA jack my phone up so bad, it's like it erased the LAF partition. My only option it seems is to use an Octopus Box.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
Do you have stock recovery now?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] smurfmeat:
I have nothing, if I try and adb into stock revcovery, I get a "no command" error, and no button combos can get me past that. Eventually, it just boots up normally.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
I remember having similar instance of flashing one of the Verizon roms that I lost download mode too. I had to flash a us998 rom to fix it..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] smurfmeat:
How do you flash without download mode? Did you have TWRP?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
I still had twrp.

Do you still have root?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
He's on stock firmware, so no TWRP.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

You still have unlocked bootloader, but Verizon firmware doesn't have unlocked bootloader warning.

Some people in the past would flash parts of Verizon KDZ to get rid of the annoying bootloader unlock warning. But that's dangerous to mix and match.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MicroMod777:
So he probably flashed a stock rom, and hopefully flashed magisk, he'll have root. He can possibly recovery twrp with Flashify.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
He Frankensteined to full stock VS9996 to see the Verizon Pie OTA. It didn't successfully install. He somehow lost Download mode and doesn't have fastboot flash commands -- since he's on VS996 firmware.

He DOES still have unlocked bootloader, but it can't do any good without being able to Frankenstein back to US998. He needs Download mode for that, to use Dev Patched LGUP.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
If someone can capture the OTA .up file, couldn't that be installed with LGUP in FOTA mode? If the update succeeds, it should restore LAF.

I understand that's what H932 users who lost their LAF do to restore it. Haven't tried it myself, just pointing it out. Check the H932 lafsploit root thread for details.

Heck, try updating with LG Bridge. If it works, great, otherwise it should at least provide the OTA file. Again, as I understand, haven't tried myself :o

Edit: Even better, don't try to install the Pie update, but rather install the last security update with LGUP FOTA mode, if you can find the OTA file. Again, that's what H932 users do to restore a lost LAF partition.

[Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers] RainyDagger:
Hey,

I just ordered a new, tested screen replacement for my Sony XZS and after 3 weeks it finally arrived. I disconnected the old, broken one (which still works) to plug the new, fancy one in. The cable isn't broken on it yet, it's straight, which will be an issue later once I install it fully, I am only at the testing phase for now.

The blacklight is shining with a beautiful, bright white color, but the LCD does not show a single color.

Plugging the old, broken one gets me back to the previous state where I see colors just fine!

Does anybody have some tips? Can it be that the phone has some kind of firmware level protection against 3rd party accessories like an LCD panel?

Thank you very much in advance!

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thedisturbedone:
I was not satisfied that my device allowed always on display only for notifications.

Here's a Magisk Module that I found to enable true AOD on our device, not only for notifications but with time, notifications and battery level.

Please be thankful to the developer - NOT me. I had no part in this and I will only link to the developer's thread: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/themes/display-enabler-magisk-module-android-9-t3857025

It works flawlessly on my A3. Advantages:

- you get a true always on display with time, notificationsand battery

- double tap to wake works (though it's a bit of a hit and miss at times)

Apologies if this has been shared before and thank the original developer.

Cheers!

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thedisturbedone:
Battery does drain faster. I can't give you exact scores though. There are some solid tutorials under the Guides section of this forum to get Magisk. Personally, I installed twrp and flashed magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] evanB70:
[MENTION=4327614]thedisturbedone[/MENTION] Thanks for sharing this, man! I'm gonna try it for sure. Honestly, I don't care that much about AOD but not having DT2W was a dealbreaker for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] toofrozen:
DT2W works like 0,05% of the times.

(Basically never ever ever)

I've been using this mod for 7 days now and DT2W worked like 5 times. Maybe less.

AOD is flawless tho ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Confirming that DT2W doesn't work, which I don't mind (I'm using wave gesture over proximity sensor to turn the screen on or off). AOD seems to be working fine, though it doesn't seem to turn off after 10 seconds in a pocket. When I cover proximity sensor, after 10 seconds display goes off, but then back to AOD again and this repeats every 10 seconds while the sensor's covered. Is it the same for everyone or do I need to investigate if some app is the culprit here? :)

Edit: I haven't identified which app might be doing it, so I fixed it with Tasker. Now AOD will shut down if covered for more than 5 seconds, exactly as designed :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
For anyone wondering - AOD seems to be consuming about 1-2% battery per hour (additionally to the standard idle usage).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thedisturbedone:
That's true. AOD is a big hit or miss. Meanwhile, I've moved onto custom roms and happily using havoc with DT2W.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bibekmufc:
Would you recommend havoc as daily driver? How good is it? The battery? And what about any issues?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bicet:
Would you mind sharing the tasker action?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Profile1

- proximity variable, state Proximity sensor,

enter task "variable set, %PROXIMITY, true"

exit task "variable set, %PROXIMITY, false"

Profile2

- enable AOD, event "display on",

enter task"custom settings, type: secure, name: doze_always_on, value: 1"

Profile3

- Disable AOD in pocket, state "Proximity sensor" + state "display off"

enter task"wait 1 second, if %PROXIMITY ~ true; custom settings, type: secure, name: doze_always_on, value 0; end if"

Profile 1 is only to get state of proximity sensor. Profile 2 enables AOD every time you turn on the screen. Profile 3 disables AOD when if the display's off and proximity is covered for more than 1 second (in my case it takes about 5 seconds to actually disable the AOD, not sure if due to Tasker polling or priorities of different tasks). You might add exit task to enable AOD when the phone's out of the pocket. Actually you can probably move profile 2 task to profile 3 exit task :)

I'm combining it with Wave Up app and additional profiles and tasks (for example I disable AOD when I have wired or BT headphones connected as volume buttons are blocked with AOD), so you might need to refine it to your needs. But I guess you get the idea :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thedisturbedone:
Battery is good. But if you are looking to play games, the device gets heated quite quickly. Probably an issue with intensive graphics. I've been using it as my daily driver.

In the end it is not what I expected, I thought I had more options to turn it off after a certain time, or turn it on only with notifications.

Able to try pixel experience instead :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
You can have such features, but you'll need to use some automation app - I use Tasker to fine tune the AOD. I think that even Pixel phones have only on/off option by default.

Someone please help me out

I installed the module on stock rom. It was working ok.

Then I installed a custom rom (Pixel Experience Rom)

The rom had the AOD included in itself so I didn't need this module.

Then I decided to go back to full stock (stock recovery, stock rom, stock everything), and i achieved this by flashing the Xiaomi official fastboot flashable full rom.

Now i installed Magisk again just for this module and it does not work at all.

I'm going mad guys :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Is the module really installed and active? Magisk changed the installation template recently, so it might be necessary to update the module. You could try flashing older Magisk version and install module again to see if it helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] toofrozen:
That's some helpful infos!

Do you happen to know how can I downgrade Magisk WITHOUT TWRP or any custom recovery?

HI, just installed yesterday the module with magisk. But seems that doesn't work

any idea?

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Which version of module on which version of Magisk? Is it listed among installed Magisk modules? Is it active? Any installation/Magisk log..? We do not have a crystal ball, so it's you who must provide enough information so we can attempt to help you. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] posy:
You are right,

I run magisk 20.3, I tried to downgrade at 19.3 following the procedure in the previous post, but it doesn't work, maybe because don't have twrp.

I use the aodenabler v3

Thabks
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Is the module installed and active? Btw. you can just wait for Android 10, AOD is enabled natively there. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Just a heads-up for Android 10 users, this module seems to be still very useful. Xiaomi forgot to include AOD power optimization and phone doesn't get to deep sleep (probably config_powerDecoupleAutoSuspendModeFromDisplay). With this module, phone enters deep sleep even with AOD.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] onlyra:
Hi, I am on Android 10 - the phone was ordered in Europe but I think is the Global version. I can't find AOD in phone's menu. Some say that starting with Android 10 MiA3 has a native AOD. I used search in the main menu, cheched every option but I can't find it.

Is it possible that it is not active in my version?

:confused: I don't have 'Lock Screen Display' or 'Always on' in 'Display'. Outside 'Display' I have 'Security - screen lock' but nothing about AOD even there.
