Well i gave up with the radios and put in OpenTouch v5.2 org. Then i extracted the NBH file from the new release from Tmobile and flashed that to my phone. It seemed pretty quick and what not. But i ended up saving the OZ IM program file and flashing OpenTouch V3.0 again and added the OZ IM from the stock Tmobile rom and it actually opens, but it wont connect. Oh well.

I am looking into cooking my own roms now and have followed a guide to create my own OEM. So maybe ill become one of the known cooks =)

Problem

I have a problem, my cube doesn't work like the way it shoud btw i have open touch 5.0 , so like the regular cube to open it u slide ur finger from the bottom to top and it pops up but not in mine, i have ramdonly slide finger in many direction multiple time for a while before it comes out, so please tell me is there something wrong
[Wing, P4350 General] damnitpud:
I ended up installing OpenTouch V3.0 last night to test the radio in it. Well my phone was unplugged fromt he charger this morning at 8:15am and it is now 4:17pm...the battery is at 72%. The radio version is 03.07.90, not sure if this is exactly what is making the battery die slower...but my reception is not as good as before. I am going to upgrade this Radio. I also downloaded Aserg's newest rom, I have never tried his.

As for the cube i am not sure. I have never used it. I will give it a shot this weekend and see if i can help ya out.
[Wing, P4350 General] jimprime:
thx looking forward to it
[Wing, P4350 General] holiday5804:
I am surprised that the 3.12 radio drains your battery that quick. I have been using it in the OT 4 and 5 versions and now in Touch-IT touched by vista and I average 2 days of battery life before I charge unless I have been heavy on the internet usage. I have heard that the 3.18 and 3.21 radios drain battery life quick, but I haven't read too many complaints about 3.12. if you haven't tried any of the Touch-IT roms, give em a try, they are probably the most stable roms I have used yet, although I noticed for some reason with Touch-IT touched by vista my reception doesn't seem as good even with radio 3.12. I don't understand that....

Oh ? I must be confused again :eek: Would I use the boot.img from this thread we are in now ? the October Patch ? Even though it is

So I would just allow them to push the update to my phone, then start the root process again with your boot.img via Odin. ?

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thibor69:
I have a bit of a problem now ... I did what you said, ( I think ) and now I have a hard/soft brick. It is stuck in a bootloop from the start screen

where it warns you abou the unlocked bootloader, and then to the Samsung screen that warns you that you are not running official Samsung

software. Then it just loops back forever. Normally not a big deal, because I can get into the stock recovery or into twrp or into download mode.

.... BUT ....

Right now I can NOT get into ANY of those modes. Not even the download/fastboot screen, so I have no way to use Odin either.

I have never seen this befor. PLEASE if you or anyone has any thoughts as to what I can try then let me know.... here is exactly what I did from the start.

Click only if you want to read it all. I have fixed my issues allready.

1) Allowed Samsung to push the Nov. update ASK2 to my phone.

2) Reboot and setup phone.

All working fine.... so Atempt Root next....

3) Took the boot.img file from this post and ran through 7zip to make boot.tar

4) Went into download mode and flashed boot.tar in AP slot

...Odin flash went perfect so I reboot phone to system

5) Install Magisk.apk - Reboot again - Got all green so Root went fine.

...Now I have a Rooted phone running Stock Nov. Security with no problems

so next I will attempt to flash TWRP. I followed the posted instructions from physwizz thread ...

To install TWRP

1. Download the custom recovery from here

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962574261

2. On the PC rename the unpatched recovery as recovery.img

3. Use 7zip to make it into recovery.tar

4. Use 7zip to add your patched boot.img to recovery.tar

5. Download vbmeta.tar from here (https://xdaforums.com/sho...&postcount=237) and extract vbmeta.img

6. Use 7zip to add vbmeta.img to recovery.tar

7. Install recovery.tar to ap slot using Odin.

Reboot phone and now I am in this crazy boot loop I can not seem to get out of :( Please help if you can, I will try anything. I can not

even turn the phone OFF now ... just loops forever untill battery dead.

thanks for reading this far :)

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thibor69:
Just to clearify if anyone else has issues or questions. This is how I achieved Root and it worked 100%.

*Note - Be sure you are on the U3 firmware (BL and Modem) befor you start.

Download boot.img

Rename file with 7Zip to boot.tar

Start phone in Download Mode.

Run Odin v3.13.3

Plug phone into PC

Flash boot.tar in the AP slot.

Reboot to Recovery Mode

Perform Factory Reset

Reboot to System

Download and install Magisk.apk

You can now move onto installing TWRP but be sure to follow these instructions if you are on U3 or U4.

Thanks to all that helped me with my previous troubles :silly:

hey guys sorry for being a noob first and foremost, ive been reading alot over last 2 weeks and tried a few things none of which worked, i currently have a FRP locked a20 if i was to go through this process would i then gain access to being able to use this phone? i understand it will be a mod project. thank you kindly.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thibor69:
Well first off this is not the right place to ask your question. This thread is only for questions relating to the root process of the A20 phone. But I will answer you anyways since you are new.

If your phone is FRP Locked then you can not do much of anything until you get it unlocked, and the info in this thread you are in now will not help you at all. So to answer your question, NO this will not help you. You should post your question in it's own thread in this section Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers ... Just click HERE and ask about getting your phone unlocked. Or try google .... here is another great place to start ... just --->CLICK ME<---

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidzer1:
Hi Thibor69, Have you tried that iSkysoft toolbox on an FRP locked phone? Download looks safe but I'm guessing the setup will download more stuff. Safe? Apologies for the off topic. Reply by PM if you'd like. BTW that 1 Megabyte setup installs about 128 Megabytes and won't install it where you choose - then it seems they want $15 to $80 to use it depending on what you are trying to do.

I'm still good to go with the TWRP from afaneh92 in the other A20 recovery project thread by physwizz. Backup AND restore working fine. I don't do Samsung updates once I've got a phone working with root and TWRP. TWRP can save you from about anything and I do my own security on a phone by being diligent in how and where it's used and having my own security protocols in place.

I change the date to 2 weeks ago, asked the software to check for updates, changed the date back to today and at the developer options found the OEM unlock available. All of this without any intermediate reboot. Then I entered the download mode (vol + and vol - and power cable) and could find the option to unlock bootloader. After reboot I got the message that the bootloader is unlocker. However, at the OS under developer option the OEM unlock is not available again.

Tonight I'll try to conclude the rooting process. Let's see if it'll work.

You rebooted going from download mode to the main OS.

You can boot right out of download mode instead and keep OEM unlock that way.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] Taymoon:
So I was comparing photos between the Mi note 10 and the P30 Pro and realized that even though the pictures in 108 mb resolutionin look nice in good lighting, there was a weird smoothing effect going on, especially noticeable in the gras. When I went to the gsm arena photo comparing tool, I noticed that the Mi Note 10 had a somewhat strong blur effect in the pictures (pictures in the link). Is this part of the phones software to remove noise produced due to the high resolution sensor?

Does anyone have a raw and jpeg of a picture to compare?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] otonieru:
if you want to compare the 108 MP picture, you need to compare it with the 40MP of P30, so that you compared picture without pixel binning with another which also dont use pixel binning,

else, the one without, will always looks softer

not to mention bigger sensor mean less depth of field
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] Bradspar:
Yeah there's definitely some smoothing going on when you use the 108mp in poor light conditions. I'd say the 108 mp is only for perfect conditions.

I don't think I'll even use that mode, I just appreciate getting 27 mp binned images, which themselves are a massive improvement over the typical 12mp images from other phones.

and then open your camera settings and they get all the ones that have the model they have there shows them the system which were added.

And did You came to conclusion what is the purpose of this unactivated and still untranslated option in Chinese language?

I have found by myself and if I'm correct it means "Extended touch-to-focus timeout".

Strange that they didn't translate this option!

Just open DCIM/Camera (DCIM located in internal storage where Download folder is) and create empty file lab_options_visible in Camera folder.

Sorry, I didn't mentioned this because I believe that something like this is self explanatory, but yes, You are right, this is correct procedure to enter in this mode.
