Nothing works.

I stop the Phone protection (fingerprint and "Muster").

The button for Backup is now gray and selectable. But no backup in Google Drive and an error on the phone, I have to try it later.

On "find my device"-app the HTC u12+ is not visibel. On https://play.google.com/settings the HTC is there and active. I have no issue too install any apps.

On timeline in Maps the HTC u12+ is also visibel.

What can I do.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] cilk:
Hello everyone,

I have a canadian S10 SM-G973W from Rogers and I would like to know if its possible to flash a US firmware to change it to G973U. I want to do this to get the android 10 beta since it seem canada won't get it at all.

I've already looked on xda but I can't find any information about this. I've found some thread elsewhere about 973U user flashing canadian firmware and it worked but I don't want to brick my device. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] scotteb:
you can and I have but it would not give me the option to join the beta, even though my account is US, maybe the sim was the problem, I should have removed it and tried. I think the beta program is closed now too as well. I did read that someone sim locked their phone with one of the US firmwares. Be careful if you try, I used to U1 vs U firmware but either should work.

If you try and it you can join the beta I will flash again as well
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] fredooss:
Yes it's possible. I did it with my BELL S10. Just use modified ODIN (3.13.3).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jmcleod13:
Since you were able to switch it from. The 973w to 973u, were u able to root it then?? Cause I wanna get my 973w rooted soon, but havent found a way yet and how did your s10 work after switching it from 973w - 973u??
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] burrzoo:
You still won't be able to root it. These models have Snapdragon processors & seem to be locked down pretty tight. Only the phones with Exynos processors can be rooted at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] minixfreak:
Hopefully In the future the phone can be rooted with bootloader unlocked although i doubt it , but try to keep the hope
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] burrzoo:
Actually, the Chinese varient with the Snapdragon processor can be rooted (as I had been wrong in mentioning that *any* Snapdragon processor phone could not be rooted). although, I doubt it will ever happen in the near future with any US Snapdragon model.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
The last U.S. snapdragon model to be rooted was the S9. The U.S. S10 and up have too much security and will probably never be rooted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] samstar:
hello, i am kinda new to this scene, but i mean no harm :)

I don't know everything but am eager to learn.

so i gonna ask some newbee questions and maybe i didn't read everything but hell, there is no harm asking :)

i just bought the diamond (in the dutch language, i've seen a couple more dutch ppl so if there is some one that knows alot, please add me @ msn : Deleted for Users Privacy You don't know Which Creep will add you, Use the Safe PM Method)

now i have some questions

- how can i extract my current rom? and can i use that extracted rom as a backup when i accidentily flash the wrong rom, or just want to have it back to the old way

- what is hard spl, i know it has something to do with the signing of other roms than the original rom, what are the dangers about flashing the spl, can it do any harm to my diamond? and can i go back to the original settings (and also, how about warranty?)

- before i had the Diamond, i had the Herald (P4350) and i bricked it twice, can this also happen with the diamond? or isn't that possible couze the SPL can be flashed (it wasn't possible with my p4350, thats why it was bricked ;))

i ask this questions becouse i want to get the maximum from my diamond, but i also have a contract on my provider and can't get a new phone in 2 years, don't want to waste my diamond on a stupid accident ;)

if you think i am a noob, i am. but don't reply if you don't have any thing intresting to tell.

please don't tell me to use the search, becouse there are verry much topics and i can't get an hold of it, that's why i am asking it here.

Thank you verry much,

regards,

Sam
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mrvanx:
Im not ENORMOUSLY qualified to answer the SPL questions in depth but the General purpose of using HardSPL is that your device is freed up to use ANY ROM you wish (it has to be a diamond rom though). Hence your device is not limited to ROMs by your carrier:

Originally if you bought a Tmobile handset it is usually CID locked to only allow tmobile ROMS, with HArdSPL it allows any diamond ROM, so you could use on by HTC...or a cooked ROM found on this forum! :)

Also HardSPL has had a tradition of safeguarding against some of the types of brick possible, this may be the case with the version for the diamond but id probably let cmonex or olipro comment on that as im not too sure.

By adding the signing of ROMS and radios etc...this has removed the possibility of ROMs being flashed which are known to brick devices, wether it is intentional or just an accident by a ROM chef. Only allowing signed images to be flashed makes it alot safer for the majority of users.

Just a note: I would not advise to post your e-mail in a public forum, unless you dig spam.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] samstar:
yeah i know, but hell, it's only my gmail accout. got a lots of those ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sfjuocekr:
Maybe that is his allowed to have spam address ;)

Anyway these questions are the same resting on my shoulders .... sadly my thread got closed.

All we want to know is how we .... backup the ROM before flashing and restoring it.

I figured the phone consists of the following:

IPL (Initial Program Loader) ... this is like a BIOS for your phone.

SPL (Secondary Program Loader) ... this will boot the actual OS.

ROM ... this is the part where WM61 etc all is?

Ext_ROM ... this is the part where HTC has put all its customizations like TF3D?

So when we use this HardSPL, we only flash the SPL ... ROM stays intact? And how do we make a backup of all this?

Also why is a hard-reset needed if only the SPL is being flashed? It would just startup and boot your ROM, or am I mistaken?

Maybe once Ive gained more knowledge about these nifty phones, I can contribute to the community too like you all do. Maybe I'll just start a "Total noob guide to the HTC Diamond" ... all I need is a start, I want to flash this thing ASAP .... but I first want to get a few simple answers which arent 100% answered by the wiki or forums (mainly how to backup ROM, radio etc etc etc BEFORE flashing).

Meh my posts tend to get longer than expected on new forums :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pof:
@sfjuocekr:

- Diamond does not have an extrom.

- read kaiser/polaris/niki/etc.. (msm7xxx devices) forums and wiki, 95% of what is said there applies for the diamond too. Apply common sense to decide what is device specific or not.

Hope that serves you as a start, for example, to answer your question about rom dumping, compare these two threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382609

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334680

And apply common sense, so you'll se it's the same for diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
no IPL for diamond, the radio bootloader does that job.

the rest was said by pof very nicely :)

btw note: when you try to apply shift/kaiser commands to dump the rom, make sure you change the sizes in the commands, to match the pdocread -l info.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demonizator:
Does this mean that HardSPL is not necessary (but advisable) if your device is not CID locked to any carrier but bought directly from HTC?

Apologies for the next noob question...

:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mrvanx:
HTC devices are still CID locked....to HTC ROMs, no device you can buy is SuperCID afaik.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sfjuocekr:
This is the reply on which Ive been waiting :)

As soon as I'm home Ill read more about it and maybe post my finding is a uniform Diamond thread ...

Also the sketch from the layout ... I made up from information I found all over the forums and wiki, I do apply common sense but I still have limited knowhow about how these phones work.

Anyway thanks alot, Ill be trying to backup my phone asap when I arrive home from work (I work for Tele2/Versatel ... dont be scared I wont do any harm ;))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demonizator:
Got you... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sfjuocekr:
Seems, after reading while working, these dumps are not the biggest helpers. As in we can't yet use them to rebuild the original ROM? I might have overlooked something, will investigate further this evening after work.

My question now still is, does this also update radio and SPL?

So the HTC Diamond basicly consists of a radio ROM, then the SPL and then goes into HTC ROM with WM61 etc ...?

So upgrading to HardSPL ... doesnt touch your current ROM and allows it to boot into it fine or does it need to be signed? Why is the hardreset needed then?

Anyway Im probably asking the same questions found on other parts of the forum, sorry for that if it annoys people around here. I just want to get started with a full backup, that is restorable ... as in that I can restore my phone to factory defaults ... if needed ;)

I have alot of coding and hardware experience, which might help the community some day when I gain more knowledge. My age was the homemade EEPROM programmers and big ZIF-sockets business, you probably know what Im aiming for ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demonizator:
I second that. Is there a way to do a full backup and restore to factory defaults after using hardspl and cooked roms?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pof:
SPL: you can take it from an official rom (nbhextract), if its the same version that you have, or you can dump it from the device before HardSPL'ing it. (see one of the previous threads I linked on how to pmemdump the SPL).

Radio:you can take it from an official rom (nbhextract), if its the same version that you have.

OS: Search how to reconstruct a dumped ROM, again, apply common sense :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
that's just standard RUU procedure. you can hack the RUU exe to not send task 28 to cause the SPL to hard reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
I guess that you will do that soon too, right?

Perfect job you guys!!! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] 123rdgenfernan:
Hello,

A friend of mine tried to root his phone(SM-A505F) using Odin3 and TWRP i really don't know what he did but he says that he unzip the .tar file for TWRP and tried to flash each .img file that was converted to .tar.md5 into AP. So what happens next is he accidentally flash something in BL. Now the phone is stuck on a loop and can only go to download mode. Now i'm trying to help him unbrick it by just flashing a stock which I found here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a50/how-to/stock-rom-samsung-galaxy-a50-sm-a5005f-t3926746

But the phone is SM-A505F and we're from Philippines and it was bought locally so region wise there is no stock rom for SM-A505F so i tried to use SM-A505GN.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Agil1ty:
Hi, hoping I can help a bit. Had a similar issue with my A50 after flashing TWRP, so I'm hoping I can help. Im from from the Netherlands and using the FN variant, but this should apply to any variant.

You can download the F firmware from here; its quite fast (a lot better than dealing with sammobile's website).

imei.info/download-firmware/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a50/SM-A505F/

After unpacking the zip, you have to put every .tar.md5 file into the right directory in Odin.

Put phone into download mode (hold volume buttons while putting in usb c cable connected to laptop)

make sure you lock the bootloader first. (by long pressing up if i remember correctly)

I suggest using the latest ODIN for this. Can you keep me posted if this works?

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Btw did you remove any google account before trying to flash TWRP? If not, try to get into recovery after flashing with ODIN and do a factory reset. You will have to put in the same google account after rebooting in android.

Hi there,

I have successfully upgraded from 1910.35 to 1910.44 using instructions I translated from the Vietnam telegram channel (thank you guys!)

Make sure you're on 1910.35, then download and put this file on root of your device:
