My phone was blacklisted and they changed the imei number. It is now unlocked to all carriers but I can't sell it back to T-Mobile or Samsung because it is not the original imei

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

I had my n976v imei # changed. Because the person I bought it from blacklisted It. It now works on all networks but I can't sell it to T-Mobile or Samsung etc. Only privately. Which is fine because I'm keeping the phone anyway

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
officerstyles bypassing the blacklist that phone is presently on is borderline fraud and/or theft of service.

The blacklist exists for a reason and not a trivial one either. If the phone landed on that blacklist it did so for a very good reason (i.e. It was financed but not paid off, stolen/lost, an insurance claim that wasn't returned, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
I contacted Verizon a few times and they say that phone is unlocked yet the notification still appears. How much did it cost to change the imei?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] docchaos:
SO, not to hijack this thread, but the topic/title fits what I am trying to do. My VZW Note 10 + is passed the 60 days, an is "unlocked". I flashed the unlocked U1 firmware, and have a ATT/Firstnet sim in it, and it is working fine. I can't seem the get it to change like my note 9. On my 10+, even with the ATT/Firstnet sim, it shows (VZW/VZW/VZW), where on my note 9 it shows (ATT/ATT/VZW).

Can I get my note 10+ to show ATT? I also had to change my voicemail number manually to work for ATT.

Thanks for any info and assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Did you take the sim card out, flash it with U1 firmware (using the csc_*** and not the home_csc), perform a factory data reset after successful flashing and then put your sim card in (and allow the restart to apply settings change for the sim card)?

That's the process I followed before and it worked. If I skipped a step it ended up with things not working like they should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] docchaos:
Ok. So flash U1, then let boot up. Should reset in software or in the recovery menu? Then after reset, go through setup with sim during boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
*Flash u1 and let it boot up after successfully flashing

*Go through setup, skip all as many options you can until done

*Factory data reset the phone (not in the recovery menu)

*After phone is done with FDR set it back up again

*once setup is done put your sim card in and let it restart

This is pretty much what I did
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] docchaos:
Yeah, It does what it has done. No restart when the new sim is put in. It just accepts it, but no carrier specific mods (Like on my Note 9 - When I pop in a new sim, it then carrier resets the phone).

My ATT/Firstnet sim works just fine, data and phone works just fine, but it still thinks it's a VZW phone. I suppose not a huge deal, but just bugs me. Oh Well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] TopGun2000:
I flashed U1 firmware and used my 10+ with a different Verizon SIM from a grandfathered plan (not the sim activated the phone), after 60 days, my phone is still locked. Not sure if I have to use the phone with the same sim for 60 days but the sales person told me I can switch sim after the activation. This is really a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Did you flash the U1 firmware and use the sim card before the full 60 days passed?

If so that (flashing the U1 firmware before the 60 automatic unlock) might have interfered with the automatic unlock process.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] TopGun2000:
Yeah, that's what I suspected.

Just reflashed VZW U firmware and will call tech support to see if it can be manually unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] officerstyles:
I paid $200 to have the imei changed. I think I paid too much. You can probably have it changed cheaper
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] biged1218:
Odin

Which version of Odin do I use to reflash Verizon firmware after U1 was flashed to my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rizzo269:
I used the same patched version that I used to flash the U1 unlocked firmware and it worked fine. Not sure if you need the patched version or not but it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] biged1218:
Thanks

Thank you, I’ve been trying to no avail!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] italbomber:
If you ever plan on going back to Verizon firmware make sure you read up about flashing the u1 over u.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pilo99:
Can somebody share the Unlocked firmware for the Verizon Note 10 plus please and Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] italbomber:
Download Frija to your computer. Fill in the required information and you can download it from there.

Or

Go to sammobile and get it from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] skyeyes:
Have read the post and it looks like you guys are able to flash your Verizon phones, but I am having problems doing mine. I want to flash my N976V to TMobile N976U but flash keeps failing. Can anyone help me please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] eastsidebiz:
you have to identify your current Software version and identify what you are flashing.

chances are, you are flashing an incorrect firmware or different bootloader versions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you cant.. clearly the n976v is a verizon specific device thats signed with different keys.. you can only flash n976v firmware on a n976v
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
he cant.. n976v is not a n975u.. the 5g variant for verizon is specific to that carrier and is signed with different keys..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
Verizon keeps telling me that the phone is not locked.

Phone was activated for 60 days and has passed that deadline. I am not in United States though. Any suggestions guys? Other than those 100 dollar unlocks?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
All you can do is call Verizon and get them to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] iBowToAndroid:
The phone needs to be in the US in order to unlock, because it has to receive the signal from the network. So if you're not in the US, then no, there is no other suggestion than paying a professional service to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
So Verizon Note 10 is finally asking for an unlock code.

Where can I get the unlock code?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
If you didn't use a paid professional service your gonna have to contact Verizon.

If you used a paid professional service contact that service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
Thanks.

Just got in touch with Verizon.

Let's see how they respond.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
I can confirm that your device is unlocked. Upon looking into the IMEI number, there is no unlock code provided from Verizon. Have you contacted your local carrier to be sure that the device is compatible with their network? *NH

Was told this by Verizon. what am i supposed to do here guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] iBowToAndroid:
It's only asking for a code because you flashed the U1 firmware. The standard Verizon "sim locked" message as well as the means to unlock it are not found in the U1 firmware. So that's why it defaults to asking for a code, because that's the only thing that it can do.

But just because it now asks for a code doesn't mean that a code suddenly magically exists. That phone does not use an unlock code to unlock, and it never will. There is no code that you can type in to unlock it. Any code that you ever try will always fail. There is no online service that can provide you with a working code, because no code exists in Samsung's systems for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
Finally the phone successfully got network unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ray.azfloortech@gmail.com:
5g version?

so back to the subject, I want to flash the u1 into my Verizon. Note 10 plus 5g. Is there a way?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
You can not flash firmware meant for a note 10+ that does not have 5g capabilities onto a Note 10+ 5g device.

Unless something has changed (check for more info in this thread which deals with 5g firmware) the answer is no, no unbranded firmware exists yet for the 5g model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
How long did you own the phone before leaving the US? To prevent theft, Verizon got permission from the FCC to allow them to lock phones for up to 60 days after sale.

Verizon phones are supposed to unlock after 60 days. That went into affect last summer. If it is listed as stolen, it won't work at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] donleopolds:
How did you manage to unlock it? Did you have to be in the US?

Sorry for replying now but I have the same problem, I'm in Europe with a Verizon locked phone (and Verizon keep saying that the phone shouldn't be locked and to contact my european SIM provider)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] iBowToAndroid:
If Verizon won't do it for you, I can provide a recommendation for a professional 3rd party business to do the work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Tarar:
NO, you don't have to be in the US for Verizon sim unlock to work. Honestly, I am not really sure how it happened. But here is what i tried.

Kept asking Verizon twitter support to unlock the sim.

Flashed back and forth U1 and U Firmwares.

I was on U1 and when i flashed back to U (Verizon Original Firmware), It got unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] JapAnEEzE:
I need help. I just flashed on the latest USC firmware of UI3 onto my note 10+ - N975u. I want to change to u1 but when i use Frija to get the update, I am not getting any USER DATA with it as each time i try to flash it, it comes up as fail. can i ask for some guidance please
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] iBowToAndroid:
USERDATA is what contains the carrier bloatware. Carrier bloatware only exists on U firmware, not U1.

So therefore there is no USERDATA in U1 firmware

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] PHDB:
Hello

I noted an issue in the way the Note 5 GPS gets the altitude data.

I tracked the same Hiking with endomondo on my Iphone SE and my Note. While the distance made is similar on both, the elevation is totally different.

Iphone SE: +230/-210 m

Note 5: +1102/-1096 m

As you can see there is a factor x5 between both devices for the same tracking. I know that ascent can be approximate but here the difference is really too much.

Do you get the same erroneous data?

I tried several times, and always the same result. For some hikings I even knew more or less the expected total elevation, and iPhoneSE was really close to it while the Note 5 was way out of range...

Cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Geekn0ob:
This is a budget friendly Chinese phone.. don't expect it's GPS to be equal to Iphone :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] NaassomDourado:
But you shouldn't have such a bad GPS.

---------- Post added at 14:43 ---------- Previous post was at 14:41 ----------

I've had this problem like Strava at miui. In AOSP roms all measurements are normal, I believe that miuides turn gps on or decrease accuracy when locking the screen. Download the GPS Status and Toolbox app and give it permissions to start automatically and put in the multitasking lock. Leave this app running along with the measurement app you use and test, give me the results.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] PHDB:
Sorry what do you mean by start automatically and multitask lock? Can't find that in the settings of the app
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] NaassomDourado:
I can't post screenshot because i am not on miui. Basically open the app, go to Homescreen, go to recents > select the app and Lock. Go to security app, search the option do automaticaly start apps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] PHDB:
Ok thanks, I did not know this multitask lock feature actually.

Looks like there is not auto-start on Miui though. But I guess that as soon as it is started and locked in parallel of my tracking app (Endomondo) it will be ok, right?

I will test and let you know

Hi, guys.

I've just replaced phone's battery with this "HSABAT 3800mAh" ... Everything is ok but I'm guessing the battery percentage info in system is adjusted to old 2300mAh value. I'm using AICP Oreo.

What I need to do in order to get accurate battery data?? :confused:

Thank you in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bookworth:
I think you have noticed by now that it all works without any additional settings.

However - i do not think the new battery is 3800 mAh - at least not in this phone (voltages). The battery tech has not evolved so much during these few years and the battery compartment physically does not allow so much energy. (you need to have certain amount of chemicals for any Ah).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altherion:
Everything is OK, except for battery life... I guess this "HSABAT 3800mAh" was a rip-off.

It's a shame be forced to say goodbye to this nice device because of this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsa47:
Just buy a genuine battery, they are available on the internet (about $15-20). I have replaced my battery twice with full success.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underflash:
Just stop and think a little bit before buying. Original battery is 2300mAh and your fake one is 3800mAh. How on earth you can pack almost double capacity into the same size battery? The same chemistry gives the same capacity in the same size. Simple. Forget about 3800mAh and if it holds charge properly just use your phone. Probably you still have 2300mAh in it.

[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] Jeanz Sensation:
Does anyone else feel that X2 offers more value for money than X2 Pro or is it just me?

I mean the difference in performance between 730g and 855+ is very little and shouldn't hold anyone back from having a smooth performance on both SoCs.

Same goes with 90Hz display, you'd probably see a little more smoother transition but so little that you won't even notice that in daily usage.

Any other major difference worth paying about $170 more?

For me, it was the back panel design that killed my desire to buy X2 Pro.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] Bolumstar:
I am planning on getting Realme X2 there will be no real-life difference in opening apps

apart from heavy gaming which could still be in split second. I don't plan to do heavy video editing on phone either so I'll say,

Yes, stick with X2 that ~$200 more is not worth it at all.

Oh! and that Logo placement on the X2 pro WTF!!!
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] mijail:
I agree with you, also.

I've almost decided to buy the Realme X2 to replace my Nokia 7+, in my case the X2 Pro isn't suitable because of the lack of MicroSD slot and it's 150 € more for a marginally better SoC, Screen, quick charge and cameras.

Regards!
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] Nifol:
I was torn betwixt the X2 and X2 Pro, but upon looking at things more closely I think I also will be going for the X2 and saving a bit of money. Besides, I don't use my phones for gaming so the 855+ and 90Hz screen may be a tad overkill for me just using it phone, take photos and run apps.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] TyTN4Me:
It was the dedicated SD Card Slot for me.

I agree but it was the lack of dedicated SD Card slot in the Pro that was the deciding factor in my decision to by the X2.

What's the point of having a dual SIM phone if you need to use the second slot for memory? I love that the X2 has 3 slots instead of only 2 with one being a hybrid.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Was looking at the pro till I realized this is just better value,

Currently contemplating my next move,
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] OnlyHazeRemains:
X2 has dual SIM

PLUS

SD-Card Slot

The most important feature ever. Yet so few phones have it nowadays.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Yea,this a big advantage and the SD 730g is no slouch.Just Wondering about the cameras,how different ate they,seems 8mp instead of 13mp on one of the lenses(can't find definitive answer online).

But you get a 32mp front camera on the x2.

I guess your just missing out on the nice features of the pro,UFS 3.0,dual speakers,90hz,but is that even that important in 2019
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] edmaronline:
For me two things are very important:

GCAM and Support from XDA.

I had a MI8 SE and it suffers this kind of problem.

I will wait a little bit more to see if X2 will have roms to be ported and if the support for GCAM will be good.

[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Having done research I think you might want to get a Mi 9T just for the better software and camera processing,the x2 does have an SD slot but other than that I think it's probably a weak phone for daily use. Ive heard reports the x2 screen is poor,not very bright.

Its the same phone.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] haiti525:
Your statement does not appear to be confirmed in actual test results (from 5 minutes onward):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bmQpNkoh3w

Even if you don't understand Spanish, the test results are labeled, so it's easy to see which camera is which. Overall, as a photographer, I give the win to Realme. And if video is your thing, then really, you are wasting your money on a Mi 9T, since the Realme makes intelligent use of it's gyro sensors to give 1080p footage that rivals putting your phone on an actual gimbal (such as DJI Osmo, for example). It's not quite as good, but speaking as an owner of various gimbaled devices, it's about 80% there.

I thought that x2 EU 8gb ram 128 gb storage ufs 2.0 for 279euro is the best deal, but I bought x2 pro EU 12 gb ram 256 gb ufs 3.0 for 449euro. The reasons:

the biggest and the fastest storage x2 ufs2 x2 pro ufs 3.0

display is the same as oneplus 7t

Dolby stereo sound

One of the fastest chargers 50w

Better camera

Better build quality

For me this is the phone of the year
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] manus31:
Was close to pulling the trigger on that over the weekend with that deal but didn't because not sure about the software and future software support,

Definitely by specs it is the flagship killer phone of the year,

If I could get the 8/128 model for around €400 I might consider that because even at 449 for 12/256 it was costing about 470 to 480 to get delivered from amazon Spain to where I am
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] danireo:
Color OS 7 is coming, may be in 2-3 months, It will be something like Oxygen, a bit worse but very close. There is gcam 7.2 for Color OS 6. I've paid 449 euro plus 11.6 euro delivery. Great blackfriday deal, thank you Amazon.es.

Agree,

The only practical difference between these two devices is one x2 pro is more gamer focused than x2.

But x2 is half the price of pro so its more value for money than pro
