[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] FunThomas76:
sorry if nobody understands me but the following steps do not work on G970F with the latest firmware ASJG :

"Power off your device. Press Bixby + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode

Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot"

i have to use adb or the recovery mode to get into download mode -> bixby and vol- does not work anymore

and the second in download mode there is no option displayed for long press vol+ to unlock bootloader

EDIT:

Good news ! I made it into the right download mode.

There are 2 download modes, 1 with the option to unlock bootloader and the second one without (can be reached with adb reboot download described in the guide is the wrong mode)

I had problems when trying the key-combo i pressed vol- and bixby (with connection to pc) for over 10 sec but it don't wanted to go to download mode.

For me it is now easier to get into real download mode for bootloader unlocking -> hold vol- and bixby and press power (ca. 1 second only)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] T_Z_P:
Greetings.

So I recently rooted my MI 9T Pro with no problem at all. That worked like a charm.

Now there's a system update and I was like "Yeah, why not" but I am currently stuck. What did I do?

- Downloaded the zip-package (RAPHAELE...V 11.0.3.0 EU Version)

- copied it to a new folder, just in case

- Settings -> My Phone -> System-Update -> tap the three dots and "choose update package" and picked the copied file

- MI restarts in TWRP-mode, so far...so good.

Now everything was encrypted but I managed to decrypt my folders with TWRP -> Mount -> Decrpyt Data.

After that I take Install -> the copied zip file -> Swipe to confirm Flash -> and BAM "Zip signature verification failed!".

Now what? I am not sure if I am missing something of if I am just dumb......or maybe both. ^^

Any suggestions? I would like to keep my phone if that's possible. Just the update, no hard reset.

Thanks and greetings from Germany!

Hey, have you checked if "Zip Signature Verification" is enabled inside the TWRP Settings? If yes, disable it and you should be good to go. :)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] T_Z_P:
I can choose between "Zip verification failed" or "File is corrupt", when I disable the verification. Man, why is it so damn complicated....
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
What TWRP are you using? Try the latest from Mauronofrio, if you're not using it already.

It's it still doesn't work, try manually flashing the recovery ROM in TWRP, instead of using the updater app.

Get the latest ROM from here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if the Uni has an accessible UART (hardware serial port) anywhere on the motherboard? I want to physically connect to a device that needs serial access. I'm happy with level-shifting from 3.3V to RS232, which I assume I'll need to do - just need ot know where there is a tx and rx pin that I can get to.

Cheers if you can help,

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blufreak:
So as my friends all like to annoy me as they know I'm a bit ocd I recently inherited what I believe is a z1 with problems. Wondered if anyone can shed light as I'm starting to think it's completely duff.

It does not appear to turn on, or charge. I assumed completely zeroed battery however long charge makes no difference. On a software repair, at the stage of hold volume down and connect USB it goes no further. I've tried ensuring it is definitely off multiple ways. However on occasion it has connected to pc companion and it says your device is locked please unlock. Still nothing on device screen.

I've tried vysor but obviously even if it's just a dead screen, USB debug isn't enabled as that's a no go to.

I've tried the yellow off button in sd/sim tray slot multiple times. It makes no audible sound itself at any point eg turning on/off, volume up/down, swiping screen etc.

The only reason I haven't given up so far as a dead screen is that it appears to not want to charge, and that even though pc companion says its on which implies a dead screen there's no sound either.

Any suggestions as I do hate to see a potentially usable phone go to the bin.

Even just data recovery would be a start but can't establish any adb or fastboot connection, again due to debug and not knowing what state the phone is in at any given time
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blufreak:
Nevermind. Had the battery out....... 2.6v.......good old Sony.

Still, the no screen and dead battery but pc companion advising the phone is on and locked is interesting
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
Does anyone know of a way to hotplug or how to enable hotplugging for at least the ls997? The mk2000 v1.1 supposably does but its no where to be found. Is there another kernel that does this for this phone?

Searching has not been very helpful so far.

I even tried the commands, but no luck. I do not the core_ctl file that is mentioned a page or two back.

[General Questions and Answers] jeanclaudevandamme:
I haven't bought a new phone since 2016's LG V20. The problem is I do not want a metal glass glue sandwich that leaves me unable to access the battery inside. Aside from planned obsolescence, it is also a conspiracy after the Snowden leaks to force phone manufacturer to seal batteries in so the CIA can activate it anytime they want.

Are there any generalised way to retrofit back covers to phones that seal everything in? I do not care about water resistance or dust resistance. I just want high specs, a microsd slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a removable back for the battery, something every manufacturer except Apple aspired to in 2012.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Can it be done without using some kind of improvised/rigged manner to hold the cover on? Probably not, it'll be a hack job, no matter how you go about it.

Why doesn't anyone here use the ftp site (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Herald)?

Does rapidshare/megaupload have some advantage over it?

I would think it would just be much easier and more organized.
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
They really can't keep any of the roms on this site for licensing reasons. Microsoft would have a field day with this website. I think in the past they had issues before because of it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep some cab files on it though.
[Wing, P4350 General] bunkerdive:
O gotcha. Well if i had the money for it, i would host my own site atleast with tons of cabs. Maybe a large list or categories with a small description beside each. Then after clicking it it shows more details and a download link. Someone needs to do it :cool:
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
There are a couple guys on here that have their own ftp sites with all kinds of cabs, but I can't remember who....but they have links on their signatures. I'll take a look and see if I can find the links though.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] iluvatrix:
Hi there, my daughter's 2 weeks old Mi A3 with 3 fingerprints saved has started to be very inaccurate in detecting and unlocking the phone.

When the phone was just out of the box, the fp unlocking was 100% accurate.

Subsequently she had a tempered glass screen protector put on but after putting it on the fp was still accurate only started to give problem since last night.

Has anyone encounter this issue before?

I'm thinking it could be the screen protector but my daughter prefer having the screen protector and using face unlock instead of doing away with the screen protector.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
I have similar experience with tempered glass protector. I believe it's caused by additional refractive and reflective layer over the display. Under certain light conditions I almost couldn't unlock the phone with FP. Re-registering finerprints helped to some extent, but eventually I've just switched to soft TPU protector (called hydrogel these days). Not the same level of protection, but it's almost invisible and doesn't interfere with FP sensor.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] totydm:
I think it's software fail, the unlock is inaccurate, but if I use a third part app (like my bank app), the unlock Is fast and accurate.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] n2droid:
I installed a tempered glass protector thingy last night. I deleted all my fingerprints, and rescanned them. Nothing. Didn't work.

The culprit? Ambient light (you know the one that turns your screen warmer for night time, that one).

I tried again this morning , scanned two fingers and it works like a charm :).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
Ah, yes. I had to disable Night Light. When it's on scanner is random
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Since I removed glass protector, FP works fine also with Night light. With the extra glass layer it was more hit or miss. It was a cheapo protector with exposed edges, maybe with more expensive edge-to-edge ones it won't make such a difference.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] iluvatrix:
Thanks for all the updates.

I have dialled down the intensity to slightly more than 1/2 of the scale and fp still working!!

I do prefer the nightlight function to reduce the level of blue light.

Ever since I updated to Android 10, I haven't been able to mount the data partition in TWRP. I'm using the newest TWRP version. Does anyone else have this issue? And have you been able to fix it?

I've already tried the following:

- Removing any for for password

- Using password

- Using PIN code

- Wiping the phone through TWRP

- Formating the Data partition (After formating I can mount the data partition, but after booting the system, it can't be mounted again...)

- Changing to ext2 and back to ext4 (Had same result as formatting)

- Normal Factory Reset

I have absolutely no idea what is wrong. Any help is appreciated :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
Hello everyone

I made this thread to discuss if Note 8 is going to have the Android 10 Update whether officially or unofficially.

Officially​

Samsung has updated its update policy so that devices should get 3 major updates, but this updated was made after the Note 8 was released. so this may not be the case with our Note 8.

After some search I found a post on MSPoweruser, you can check the post yourself, that the S8 is planned to have the Android 10 officially, and this was said by the Samsung customer service agent.

The Samsung agent said:

Good day Herr Garde,

Thank you for contacting us to the Samsung customer service. Regarding your request for Android 10 I like to inform you. Do not worry. It is planned that also the S8 the android 10 update should get. When this Exactly, I can give you now do not say yet. Therefore I ask you still a little patience. If you have a concern again have, please feel free to contact us!

Unofficially​

I did find a lot of S9 Plus port roms for Note 8 on Android 8.0 and Android 9.0 so is it possible to have an S9 or S10 with Android 10 ported to our Note 8 devices?:rolleyes::confused:

Join the conversation​

I have created a Telegram group to discuss any thing about our beloved Note 8 and share the latest news easily so if you're interested you're welcomed to join the group via this link : https://t.me/Exy8895Chat

If you have any suggestions or any news please tell me:D​
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stonedpsycho:
I personally don't think it is likely. And no one should pin their hopes on getting official Android 10.

Rumours are just rumours.

Me feeling we deserve it is a different matter though ?.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] panchovix:
I have a S8+, but yeah a thing that it's probable is a S9/S10 ROM port (highly more possible S9/S9+/N9 since it's more similar to the S8/S8+/N8 than the 10 lines), for example S7 have OneUI ported (Android 9.0) with a NFE Port, and it's the same team that ported S9 roms to S8/S8+/N8 (LightExyKings).

Now, when? probably not soon, the devs have to do their things too so I guess it will take some time to make these ports, if, they're possible in the 1st place, we just have to wait sadly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
Yeah actually I don't we would get this update officially cuz Samsung never do:mad:

But as you said we really do deserve this update specially after giving back our trust in the Note series after what happened in the batteries and so on...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
I made this thread at the first place to get the attention of people who would really love to have the Android 10 update so devs can start porting to our Note 8, unfortunately this means we will have to root our devices and I'm a big fan of Samsung Pass and other Knox based apps which gonna stop once you root. I hope the update is worth it and the also comes out without bugs.

Yeah, it will properly be a S9 port due to its similarities with our devices hardware but it will be very good to have a S10 port tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] panchovix:
Yeah, in my case since I've never S.Pay or S.Pass it didn't affect me much unlocking bootloader and such, since well all the other knox based apps works (S. Folder, S. Health, etc), but for example after the sec patch ends for the S8/N8 Line (aka 2020), the only way to maybe, taste Android 10 or OneUI 2 (if it gets ported), will be via unlocking bootloader, TWRP and etc

The worst thing here is that Samsung drops the support of a phone that was, and even now it's still expensive as new, with just 2 years of support of updates and 3 years of sec updates, meanwhile the iPhone 7/7+ that was the competitor of the S8/N8 and it was released earlier, will get updated to iOS 14, 15 and possibly 16, aka support until 2023...

Really let's hope some devs can port a ROM haha

EDIT: to add that even Note 8 users got it worse since it was released when Oreo was already available, but Samsung still released it with Nougat and only updating it until Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gent':
I don't really know how porting roms works but I think even that's not possible because s9 has different chipset so therefore it isn't compatible.

As far as i know there aren't any other devices with exynos 8895 apart from s8/s8+/N8.

Goodbye Samsung, Hello OnePlus!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jage1234:
Bye samsung, on the lookout for other android phones now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] panchovix:
Take it as a Custom ROM, probably if they manage to port it, it will have bugs like non-stock based custom ROMs at first

Anyways, the most probably thing is newer LineageOS (Like LOS 17, 18 for Android 11.0, etc), but not OneUI 2.0, 3.0, etc ported sadly

S7 had it easier since it had the same chip that NFE that got Pie, but if you search a little in the S6 xda forum, they managed to port a OneUI ROM from Note 8, but it has various bugs, like no HwC, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
For me as a Samsung user and all my devices are Samsung products (Note 1, S3, Note 5, Note 8, Gear S3, etc.) I always liked how Samsung had new futures before other companies but I think this have changed after they are giving us 2 years of updates ( on the update policy) and actually only 1 year of updates in real life as you said Android 8 was already available and released before the Note 8 was but they decided to release it with Android 7 instead which is 1 year update to One UI 1. They also almost did the same thing with the Note 10 as it was released with Android 9 while Android 10 is available. One the other hand Apple have been supporting the iPhone 5s till the last year with updates with is actually good for a phone thats 5 years old and its battery is getting bad aka its performance where you really need to upgrade to new phone at this point. I really hope Samsung learns before they lose customers and I really hope more to get they Android 10 update without losing much specially Spass cuz I do really love this device, it has a good Design and performance and mine is still new to upgrade now...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
I think they would be able to port it from S9 but its never gonna be stable or even close the an official rom.

I think we would see a LineageOS 17 or 18 also but this doesn't solve the One Ui cuz its hard to port. (its not that stable and we will miss some futures from Samsung) if I'm gonna have a stock Android running on my Galaxy I would go rather and buy me a Google pixel or One plus better at least its gonna be more stable as its official and we are gonna have the updates way more faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
They have good and premium phones that gets the updates fast and for long.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinglos:
They will never port a stable version or at least close to an official rom due to the hardware incomparable-ties which will probable give us the choice to continue using is with One UI 1 or use the ported rom and get used to these bugs or upgrade or phone which Samsung wants us todo but if I'm gonna do this I'm gonna find a company like OnePlus or Apple cuz I'm not gonna do the same thing again with a S10 or Note 10 after they don't update it...

The S7 was actually easier cuz of the Note FE which is actually the Note 7 and remember Samsung always make the S and Note the same Chip set each year like the S8 and N8, S9 and N9. but as the Note FE was late it got its update Support father than the S7 (which is capable of running Android 10 One UI 2 until now but Samsung doesn't want to update it as well).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidwizzard:
Android Q/10 will be ported quite soon but neither N8 nor S8 will see original firmware from Samsung.

I switched to Samsung since iPhone 4. And experiencing s3, note 5, note 8 and I'm now gonna switch back to iPhone now. Samsung really disappoints me a big time despite my trendmenous trust in them.

Every single Samsung phone that I used gave me some problems here and there. S3 has battery leaking all alone. Note 5s motherboard got signal issue, so I had to send in to officalbrepair center to replace. Note 8 gave me sd card damaged. But I always thought there are single case problems and I just got bad luck. But c'mon, I'm fed up. I backed note 8 after the note 7 battery gate and hope Samsung would do everything to re gain note fans trust. But look there their update policy. We only get actual one system update. On the other hand, Samsung flagship phones are as expensive as iPhones. But iphones are much more stable, smooth, and well maintained. They are supported via many generations updates! Plus, jailbreaking can meet a lot of customization needs already. I'm not even start to talk abt iPhone great re sale value.

I'm just fed up.
