So I got this case cause I loved the design, needed protection for my 4XL and the look of the red with the black. First off I wasn’t expecting such a solid case for the price that I paid !! This is up there with much more expensive brands quality wise for 1/2 the price. Install was simple enough and the buttons are clicky and all ports perfectly aligned. Squeeze to activate Google assistant works like always and the “lip” around the Rear camera and front of the phone offer great drop protection. Along with a tempered glass this is all I need to keep my phone pristine. My favorite part is how the audio is channeled to the front once the case is applied so it enhanced the media watching experience and now I can’t cover the sound when watching in landscape . Amazing job !!

You guys should get one. too!

You're literally the guy who posted the ad about giving out free cases for Amazon reviews.

You could at least just state that and then give the review from your eyes instead of pretending like you're a regular user of the case.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] jinshanghaiaraol:
Dude, I am not working for them.

I have been their reviewer for a while. The founder is cool and nice, we are close at twitter.

They contacted me that they need someone to post a sponsored thread will get sticky up in the form.

The case is greata! trust me!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
dude...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] SuperLeakTX:
Dude, I received the case. The case is legit.

Leave the poor guy alone, even he works for them, I am glad to have a free case.;p;
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] dased14:
We'll see I have been "selected" to review one of these(sadly not the one with red on it. I have no problem saying if it's legit or not
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it may be, and honestly mine is arriving today, but if you're going to post about a product then you need to be upfront about how you acquired it and not come in hot spouting bull**** about how it's the greatest thing and that people should buy it. then get defensive when someone calls out your bull****
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Samg381:
It's a scam. Long story short, they make you buy the case (and a ****ty water bottle) and claim they'll refund you via PayPal.

Here's what they sent me:

And the link to their sleazy webpage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] eg1122:
Just to clarify one point, not saying their approach is sleazy or not, but they send the money before you order it. They are lying about a lot of things, but free is free. And I will give an honest review.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] DemonicMurderer:
I can confirm they are not a scam I got the emails and then received the payment to my PayPal. I don't work for them and I'm not affiliated. I have ordered the case and the bottles to which I am actually gonna use the bottles. I have an idea. Will update when I get the items in.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] wolfu11:
I just got the same email word for word the other day. It took so long for a reply from them that I already bought an awesome tech21 smokey black case and a cheaper case when I first got the phone. I'm definitely going to pass on this. Never heard of having to buy something completely unrelated and having them pay for both but give a review for a case it's just too weird.

and I think the guys got like 3 threads about a case on here already.

But to each their own I guess and it all depends how far someone is willing to go to get something for free lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] SuperLeakTX:
You are acting like a troll!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it's actually not uncommon. the fact that they pay first is not normal
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
The first thread is shady as it can be trying to game Amazon's algorithms, but seems "legit" as far as it goes.

THIS thread, on the other hand, is just spamming the forum. Dude doesn't love the case he got for his Pixel 4 XL, he's putting another thread to get more eyes on the product in a different section of the P4XL forum. It's the definition of spam.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] crawler9:
I've dealt with a few different companies producing phone accessories who offer them for free in return for reviews. I make a point to clarify ahead of time that I am happy to review their products, but won't be altering my reviews in any way just because the product was received for free and most seem happy with that. With one of these companies, they've even become my go-to for any phone cables or chargers I buy (I'm looking at you, CHOETECH.)

The whole process here felt a bit different and off, in a very bad way, than the process of ordering/reviewing accessories from those with whom I've dealt in the past. Most are fairly honest about where they're from and I have no problem with Chinese phone accessories, but I was less comfortable with this at first especially because of the requirement to purchase another item I wasn't even interested in (the Favonian travel bottle set) and due to the writing style of the e-mails, included photocopy of a handwritten note (which kinda defeats the purpose of making it seem more personal in my opinion), and the name attached to the funds transferred to me on PayPal, this doesn't seem like a company from Frisco, Texas to me. I'll also note here that the (rather cheap) packaging for the case itself states it was "Designed in DFW Texas", but "Made in China".

One user in this thread also mentioned that this whole deal seems designed to manipulate the Amazon recommendation system. The process includes searching for the product using specific keywords, asking a question to create buzz about the product, and adding it to a community idea list as well as ordering it along the aforementioned Favonian product. That's where things begin to feel especially uncomfortable for me. I see nothing wrong with receiving a product for free in exchange for an unbiased review and even if I have an issue, I'm happy to give a company the chance to rectify it and earn the positive review they're seeking.

However, I have both products in my hand, was issued a PayPal payment before making the purchase, and do like the case. It's big and assembly wasn't the easiest (I don't really see this as a flaw- cases that go on easy are often the same ones that will fly off the moment a phone drops), but the case itself is solid and seems like it'd do a good job protecting my Pixel 4XL from falls. Audio output and microphone input work fine, despite another poster previously mentioning he/she didn't see any holes (there are spaces on the front for audio) and it doesn't conflict with the glass screen protector I already had. Honestly the travel bottle thing seems pretty cool too. If I actually traveled much, I might use it.

This wasn't a scam, at least in my case, though I'd also be lying if I said the experience was comfortable. It felt less like they were seeking honest reviews and more like they were hiring us to act as operatives to bring more visibility to their products. That said, when I post a review, it will be about the product itself, as it is a product review, not a seller review or a customer service review.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] krabman:
I don't like ads masquerading as legit postings from real users who spent their real money on a product. The OP is misleading in several ways and I don't do business with misleading outfits. I'm not reporting because I'm not the forum police but the post violates forum policy and should probably be locked/taken down. And fix the ad before you post it again, very unprofessional.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atapio:
I have a Nexus 6P that I've hardly used the past couple of years. Today I turned it on and the power was low and shut down. Plugged it in and it showed it was charging. Turned it on about 15 minutes later while still plugged in, and it shut down while booting up on the Google screen. Now it doesn't do anything when I plug it in or hold power button, and doesn't even show the little red light like the battery is drained.

Is this probably a dead battery or could it be something else? Never had this problem before.

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Let’s start with the installation process

First you need to unlock your bootloader. You can do so by enabling developer settings first, enable oem unlocking, then shut down your phone, hold volume up and down at the same time and while holding them plugin your charger. Your phone now should show a green screen with instructions to unlock the bootloader. Just follow them and after the unlocking your data should get wiped. After that your device will boot up and land in setup screen. Do not setup anything, just skip as much as possible, because your phone will get wiped again. Enable developer settings and make sure oem unlocking is greyed out and enabled. (If it does not show up, connect to a network first!)

Now you need to overwrite vbmeta partition, so you can flash third party partitions. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar then go into download mode on your device. Put vbmeta_disabled.tar to userdata in Odin, click start. This should finish pretty quickly, so pay attention when your device reboots, because you need to boot into recovery (Hold power and volume up after the screen turns black). When booted into recovery, wipe your data and reboot normally into system. Now you can setup your phone as usual and make sure oem unlocking is still greyed out and enabled!

Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post). . In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!

I followed your steps to no avail. First try, twrp didn't even boot up completely as it was stuck in the twrp logo screen. My second attempt was wiping data first using the stock recovery, then flashing twrp. Twrp booted up and I was happy as heck, but the touchscreen was unresponsive. I've completely set up my phone again after giving up. I wouldn't mind losing all my data again just to gain root, but I don't want to lose it for nothing

Hello blackbuga,

I recently installed your unofficial TWRP-build for the A80.

I want to let you know that it is impossible to flash ROMs successfully. I am a TouchWiz developer since 2016 and I wanted to continue with OneUI.

So, I was porting the A71 firmware, but it didn't let me install the zip. It ended with the Error 7.

Here's a part of the log:

" -- Setting ROM Permissions

ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 "

It seems like it's a problem of the recovery. I hope to get an answer from you.

Does it work with Android 11?
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thesingular:
Probably not. I can't be sure though.
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Jonte777:
I tried flashing it which worked and can boot into it. But storage is encrypted and cannot be decrypted by TWRP so cannot flash anything. ADB sideload and ADB push is not working either even after a format.
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thesingular:
Good to know that. To address those issues:

1. To disable storage encryption, you can follow the instructions from this thread. You'll need to download the file in the thread too and put it into storage while in twrp or sideload it. Both ways require adb, as mtp and usb otg storage simply don't work with this twrp, which brings us to the second problem you've described. You also might need to rename it to add quota to the zipname so that it would disable disc quota as well. I'm not sure if it's necessary though.

2. You'll need to find the latest Samsung drivers and install them, even if you have installed them before. Then the computer will be able to detect the phone via adb until the computer reboots. After reboot, you can just install them again when you need adb access. A link to the drivers exist in this thread, you can download it from there if you don't have it already.

Here's a little bonus tip: If you flash Magisk from this twrp, you won't need to hold the buttons for recovery mode to boot the phone with Magisk and just booting normally will be enough (like the good old days lol). However, you'll need to install all future Magisk updates from twrp as well, unless you want to semi-brick your phone. If you forget about this and update from the Magisk app, just flash it from twrp again to fix it. (You can just update the Magisk app itself and rename the downloaded apk to zip in downloads, then flash it in twrp to avoid that situation)

I'm not sure on PC as far as i know we need a custom recovery to flash a custom rom
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thesingular:
First, the TWRP here works with android 11, according to Jonte77.

Second, custom recoveries are by far the easiest and safest way to flash custom ROMs, but not the only way.

Third, as far as I know, there are no custom ROMs developed for Galaxy A80 anyways (except UltimateQ for Android 10 and UltimateR for Android 11, which are pretty much debloated and tweaked stock ROMs), but you can flash GSIs. This TWRP is unable to handle zip files that contain GSI's though, as they're too big for it. It'll seem like it successfully flashes the GSI but the phone won't boot properly. The reason for that is it won't be able to read the zips beyond a certain point (at around 700-800MB from the tests I made once.) so only a part of the zip actually gets flashed. Probably the same is going to happen with Custom ROMs. However, you can use Odin to flash the GSIs instead. You can search this forum to learn how.

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the best info on rooting my A80, I feel pretty confused. I've searched a lot. Anyway, can anyone give me a hint of clarity pls? This seems the best thread.

I've got an A80 from Europe FWIW.

For starters I have an important question: If I manage to root it, can I then restore a backup of how it was exactly, apps, settings and data? Or would I have to start from scratch?

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thesingular:
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet you'll definitely need to backup before that, because all your data will be wiped. The rooting process that follows might also require wiping it a second time, especially if you try to install TWRP (mostly to fix the low storage problem that happens afterwards).

For taking backups without root, Samsung's own backup tool is your best bet if you want to restore your settings and app data (most recent backup solutions should at least be able to backup and restore the apps themselves). However, because of how it marks apps' "installed from" field, some apps with play store licensing will not run when restored (they refuse to run if they aren't installed from play store). Even then, it might fail to restore the data of some apps. Not having root really limits backups after all.
