[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] GalaxyS1000:
Thanks a lot for your response.

Yeah, the backups issue is really what's tipping me over the edge to get this done. I can't believe it's 2022 and if I lose my iPhone, I can be up and running in a replacement unit in about an hour, hands-off, and if I lose my Galaxy, or any Android AFAIK, I'll have to suffer through hours restoring things exactly as I want them (I'm a heavy customizer...)

So, I'll heed your warning for sure about data of some apps not being well restored from backup. One thing I don't fully get is, is this an issue only after rooting the phone, or could this be a problem anyway if I just restored a backup to my own unmodified A80?

Another question, actually a followup from the previous, if it really went really bad and I couldn't restore the data from some critical app (I don't see what it could be, after taking precautions, but more as a curiosity) would I be able to unroot the phone and then be able to restore a backup without issues?

May I assume this is the best thread to get instructions from, in your opinion?

And could I ask maybe from which post #number should I start reading? If I can reduce my potential confusion by not reading outdated info, I'd appreciate it. Or shall I just try to read very attentively from the very beginning?

Thanks again

I didn't mean to say that I didn't put any effort in reading this thread before, I did, but I quickly got confused and thought I'd join the conversation already. Thx again
[Samsung Galaxy A80 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thesingular:
It doesn't matter if you're rooted or not when you're restoring, since apps are heavily restricted when it comes to accessing the data of the other apps without root and there are very few ways to grant such permissions.

It seriously depends on whether you want to install TWRP or not. If you don't want to install TWRP, you can look for the how to unlock bootloader post on this device's forum (it also includes how to root with magisk) or go visit installation help page of magisk and check out the Samsung section. If you do want to install TWRP, first, look for the Google drive link in the OP. If you can't download from there, look for the Google drive link in one of my replies, I have mirrored it because he had sent that TWRP to trash (and had restored it when I told him about it but he might have deleted it again). As for the instructions, the one I used was in the Fire Kernel thread(in a link to a GitHub page) but apparently it was deleted. I thought it was here or something but apparently I was wrong so let me write it myself:

Assuming you have unlocked bootloader, I'll be skipping that step here. Look for it in this forum if you haven't done so yet.

You'll need an empty vbmeta image, TWRP image(as a tar file), dm_verity-forceencrypt disabler from this thread(optional, if you want to disable encryption and be able to flash files from TWRP without a PC), Magisk, adb tools, Samsung Drivers(from here) and ODIN (Try to get the latest version).

1. Install Samsung Drivers from the link provided.

2. You can find a readily packed one with a quick search on the internet or you can just create an empty file with the name "vbmeta.img" and pack the empty vbmeta.img into a .tar file.

3. Put the phone into download mode. To do so, plug it to a computer, restart the phone and hold the "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons when it's restarting. You can start holding down the buttons when you feel the phone vibrate.

4. In ODIN, put that vbmeta.tar into the AP slot and flash it.

5. Reboot the phone into download mode and this time put the TWRP image into the AP slot in ODIN and flash it.

6. Boot into recovery by holding the "Volume Up" and "Power" buttons while restarting. (You can force phone to restart by holding the "Power" button for about 10 seconds.).

7. In TWRP, go to wipe, format data, then confirm it. This will fix the phone seeing 32GB storage problem after installing TWRP. Reboot to TWRP because we're not done there yet.

8. Plug the phone to your PC, rename magisk's .apk extension to .zip, push it to the phone's SD card folder with adb. (Optional) Also push dm-verity zip to the same place.

9. Flash (optional) dm-verity zip and Magisk in TWRP, in that order. Reboot to system.

10. Setup the phone, don't forget to install Magisk app.

11. You're done, congratulations!

for me, this way just soft-bricks it, tried with supersu aswell - ends up boot looping and doesnt get further than the 'samsung galaxy a80' screen before resetting

edit: got it working after many tries - for me, every time flashing with odin disabling auto reboot worked and re-entering download mode before it tries to boot up system setup worked

[HTC Excalibur] raptor78:
Does anybody know how you can add more frames to Camera on the HTC S620. Ive just come back from holiday and when I was using the Camera for a few "fun pix" I was greatly dissapointed in the lack of choice... basicaly it only had four week frames to choose from. So as soon as I got back I went about getting some more frames for my phone.... which I found, but my phone cant find them. Ive already tried adding a "Frames" folder to "My Documents" both on my phone and the storage card but yet the phone doesnt recognise any of the frames. Anybody else have this problem or even better can anyone else give me instruction on how to get it to work?

if anybody wants to know the Camera Software im using is the Camera for Smartphones version 4.52 that came pre installed with the phone as I dont want to be having more than one installed.
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
Just out of curiosity, what's a fun frame? ;)

I knew the camera software on the Dash could do "effects" like sepia or negative. Never heard of the above.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I am in the same boat, what exactly is a "fun" frame just wondering?
[HTC Excalibur] raptor78:
oh, I assumed all the HTC S620's had all the same basic software I wasnt aware that Frames wernt available on all models.

What I mean by fun frames is like Magazine Covers which you select and take a picture with the frame on top of it.

The four that come with the BT ToGo version which I have is one which has two magazine covers on (you take two pictures and they get put into the frame), a cartoony spikey frame, one which looks like a notice board with two pictures on and finally a folding frame that holds three pictures...

the problem is that they are too specific like the memo on the notice board say "I love you" on one and "happy birthday" on the other... and the three way folding frame has love hearts on so it isnt like you can use them on any occasion.

...Picture Themes, thats what they are!!! Mabey I would have got more response if I posted under that.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Yea this is a ROM specific function. I remember having this on my T-Mobile SDA. You could have images pre drawn on the screen with a spot in the middle of the screen so yo could take a picture and use the template around the picture. For example: i had one that was a template of bubbles, snorkle and face mask, and if you got the picture aligned properly you could make it look liit the person you wrre taking a pic of was wearing the snorkel and mask and look like they were underwater. Kinda cool effect. I never noticed this feature on the DASH though.

edit: i just found the templates on WM 6.1 , but the four that are preloaded are pretty lame.
[HTC Excalibur] raptor78:
Aaaaahhhhh, never mind Ive found out how you do it...

the trouble was BT never provided me with a manual with the phone, its all done online in PDF format now. But after trawling through the PDF I eventually found out how to add extra frames -

]

so thats where I was going wrong, I had read somewhere that the folder had to be called Frames... when that didnt work I renamed it Template when all along it should have been Templates.

Thanks anyway. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
do you have any templates to share?
[HTC Excalibur] elcanela:
Templates

Here you go.

Uh, I know it's not rocket science, but my upload keeps failing, I was trying to upload a few templates that I have for the DASH, Excalibur, etc.
[HTC Excalibur] raptor78:
Yeah I have found one or two good ones, I will try and post them sometime today ;)

A couple of Wako Jacko's from BoSelecta (one just does the face while the other takes the face and background)

a Shrek and Fiona and a Wanted poster for now...

I think the frames from Sony Ericson phones should work (320x240) so im going to see if I can find them on my girlfriends phone and copy them onto my excalibur. The Sony Erricsons have some great fun frames and to be honest a really good camera built into their phones.
[HTC Excalibur] jrodriguezs:
Does the frame need a special neme or extension?.

In Which folder need to be placed?

[Samsung Galaxy A80 Real Life Review] Rusakaksu:
If of course you can? Describe the points more clearly, since the description indicates points 1 2 3 4 but they are not! There is only a TWRP installation. And as I understand it ROOT. But in the archive folder r1q-3.3.1. As I understand it, just sew this archive through TWRP?

Well I tried to hard reset an Android device exactly the NOKIA 2.2 TA 1179 model launched in my country Colombia in the same year 2019 second semester. but it does not work.

I have tried with volume + and power and it only reboots and reboots the device

with volume- and power and the device enters fastboot mode

with both volume and power and it only vibrates but neither turns on nor shows the green recovery android

I really don't know what other methods to try is a device that has the volume + keys and less than the power and google asistant

I would be very grateful to you people of XDA DEVELOPERS if you could start adding content of this cell phone to your page since it does not appear in the list of devices that have

and if you could help me with how to make it hard reset or flash it since I already tried with OSTLA, SP, MAGICBOX THUNDER. and none of those methods allowed me to do anything on the phone except that in any video the model TA1179 comes out

What's more is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE STOCK ROM OF THIS DEVICE

I ASK YOU FOR HELP PLEASE !!!!!!

Bueno he intentado hacerle un hard reset a un dispositivo android exactamente el modelo NOKIA 2.2 TA 1179 lanzado en mi pais colombia en este mismo año 2019 segundo semestre. pero no funciona.

he tratado con volumen+ y power y solo se reinicia y se reinicia el dispositivo

con volumen- y power y el dispositivo entra en modo fastboot

con las dos de volumen y power y solo vibra pero ni enciende ni muestra el androide verde recovery

la verdad no se que otros metodos tratar es un dispositivo que cuenta con las teclas de volumen + y menos ademas de la de encendido (power) y la de google asistant

les agradeceria mucho a ustedes gente de XDA DEVELOPERS si pudieran comenzar a agregar contenido de este celular en su pagina ya que hasta el momento no sale en la lista de dispositivos que tienen

y si me pudieran ayudar con la forma de hacerle hard reset o flashearlo ya que ya intente con OSTLA, SP, MAGICBOX THUNDER. y ninun metodo de esos me permitio hacerle nada al telefono fuera de que en ningun video sale el modelo TA1179

es mas es CASI IMPOSIBLE HALLAR LA STOCK ROM DE ESTE DISPOSITIVO

To get into recovery mode you have to do the power button and volume while adding USB to computer.

As for hard reset just do.it through settings if you can get into phone or through fastboot which is power and volume up and down altogether for a few seconds....

After looking around the internet for HOURS, and using [MENTION=10544959]Androidian_1[/MENTION]'s info, this worked for me on a Nokia 2.2 with Android One:

-Boot into fastboot mode by:

1. Turn off

2. Press ON button and VOLUME DOWN at the same time

3. It will boot into a mostly black screen that says "FASTBOOT" at the bottom-left corner

- Connect to the PC and use fastboot app to reboot into recovery mode (green robot)

1. Get the Platform Tools for Android, which include fastboot: developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

2. Connect the device via USB (you should hear Windows chime when connected)

3. Test connectivity with: fastboot getvar version

4. Reboot into recovery with: fastboot reboot recovery

- Go into the recovery menu and run factory reset:

1. After the phone has booted into recovery mode it will show the green android robot with a warning

2. Press: SHORT/QUICK >>> POWER + VOLUME UP

3. You should see the recovery menu

4. Use VOLUME DOWN to select "Wipe data/factory reset"

5. Click POWER to select and accept

6. Reboot the phone (click POWER which selects 1st option for "Reboot now"

Hope this helps others!!

Sideloading apks should be possible. However it is running the chinese version of wear os and it has to be paired with the china android wear os app, too, which doesn't use google play services.

It's hard to say if stuff like gpay will function.

Apparently, the iOS version of wear os does not make this difference though.

Hopefully, sideloading the playstore would do the trick.

If the bootloader can be easily unlocked, we could flash roms or the global version.
