[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] a.d.a.m.:
Thanks for explaining the error code. It's annoying the operator variants for this phone seem to get regular releases, but the BTU release for example is much less, with the most recent from Aug. The Aug release has codes for VOD/BTU/XEU, but as you say it seems the versioning has moved on.

So, I'm thinking I might try and and hold out for a more recent BTU, hoping it's compatible. If that doesn't happen I might may have to bite the bullet and flash a complete stock firmware. Thanks for the help so far. Really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Hello buddy BTU won't receive anymore updates it's the generic firmware from Samsung. The S7 is no longer receiving updates from Samsung as they're now on S10 etc. In the same way they don't update S4, S5, S6. Any updates will come straight from branded networks who still sell the phones hence the Vodafone update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] a.d.a.m.:
I wondered about that. It seems the s7 dropped off the update roadmap, but then went back on. It's currently on the list for quarterly updates, if that includes BTU idk. It's been 3+ since Aug, i'll give it a bit longer.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] a.d.a.m.:
A new update dropped with a BTU firmware available, of which I've successfully flashed the csc file. However the phone has remained on the VOD csc. Is there anyway to switch it that doesn't involve some sort of factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Hello

I'm getting a little confused as to exactly what you want to achieve, if you have UK VOD installed then your phone will work in the UK and it doesn't have to have specifically the BTU firmware installed. People install BTU in the UK becasue they don't want all the branded rubbish on the phone.

The VOD firmware will show a list of available codes in the region where you are using the phone. This means if you happen to travel to a neighbouring country the phone will look in it's list to see if the correct code is there and use that on the network in that country. It changes automatically. The list in your screen shot are for countries in northen europe, Gemany (DBT) Netherlands (NEE) France (XEF) etc.

So to answer your question, yes there is a way to change csc code without factory reset and you can see the guide here
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] a.d.a.m.:
It was in the original post, but things moved on somewhat. I'm attempting to enable Wi-Fi calling on the UK MVNO iD Mobile. I know the firmware supports it as I've tested with a Voda sim, but with my iD sim the wifi calling option is missing - that's the goal here :)

Looks like I'd want the root option in that link. I'm not currently rooted, and would only want it temporarily, I'd need to see If i can do that without tripping KNOX, I'm not 100% but I think an app I'm using might require it. If you know of a guide for this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Soooo.... back to my original answer. Its much easier to save everything you want to keep on your phone and flash a generic firmware for the region, in your case BTU. Generic firmware has all options enabled by default such as WiFi calling. I really see no benefit whatsoever for anyone to remain on branded firmware. When Google play updates it's app it also updates the security patch, did you know this?

With regards to rooting and maintaing knox it isn't possible. Rooting modifies system partition which immediately trips knox. Magisk will show knox at 0x0 but that is visual only for apps to run securely. Banking apps, Sammy pay etc will look for a different file hidden in efs to verify knox is intact, when they read it they will not run period. Knox fuse is a hardware component not a software component.

I am a novice where Flashtool is concerned. I've been able to flash different regional variants to various Xperia phones, but I would like to have a better understanding of what I'm doing. Could someone point me to a link where some of the various checkbox options are explained? Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] Bolumstar:
Well, after the Redmi K30 launch, I was waiting to see what Realme comes up with in their Indian launch and I think they did okay especially with the pricing but I was expecting 6/64G base variant. That said, what are you getting with Rs. 16,999 (~$239) or 18,999 or 19.999?

I've been using the Realme X2 for a month now, have tested over 25 different Gcam ports including two that works well. Did a YouTube tutorial for it.

With a pricy 4/64G variant, we are surely going to see the bloom of custom Roms but then, what are you getting.

I did a full Video Review here: Realme X2 Full Review (EU Version) after One month - A must watch before you buy

But if you are not lazy like me in reading, I am going to try and write some here but you won't get to see some things like Gameplay recorded with the inbuilt screen Recorder with audio recording alongside. Gameplay recorded includes

PubG Highest settings unlocked with GFX tool

Asphalt 9

Call of Duty.

[Device Reviews and Information] Elcarambadennsiwillja:
Nah, I wouldn't opt for the base variant in the upper midrange segment but as a European I went "balls to the wall" with the X2 anyway because you don't buy a smartphone like that every year. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] reqqu:
Hello everyone!

My Samsung S10 phone recently died, so I gave it to the local repair shop. They said that it couldn't be repaired, I should buy a new one. Instead, I tried to fix it myself.

While trying, the phone turned on again like nothing ever happened. Unfortunately, the phone now is FRP locked, it seems to have reset itself.

In order to remove the FRP bypass of my Samsung S10, I looked into removing FRP in general. I found a few guides online saying to use a Combination ROM. I downloaded the one provided and tried flashing it using Odin. This didn't work, the phone said "Please get the approval to use factory binaries". In addition, the Combination ROM provided doesn't have the same model number as my phone. The Combination ROM downloaded is called "COMBINATION_FAC_FA90_G973FXXU1ASB2_FAC_CL15414360_QB22060741_REV01_user_mid_noship.tar", while the phone model number displayed in factory mode is "G97XFXXS3ASJG".

I would be really happy if you could help me out with this. I have two concerns in particular:

1. What do I have to do in order to be able to flash a Combination ROM?

2. Do I even need the Combinaton ROM with the exact same model number, and if so, can anyone provide the file?

P.S.: I'm a beginner, got into this topic only for the cause of fixing my own phone.

Greetings,

reqqu

I am on the indian variant. Used the above img file and flashed via fastboot. The phone booted fine. Went to Magisk and direct installed it. I hit reboot and i get stuck at the bootloader screen. Any help?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
as in fastboot screen or bootloader unlocked screen?

also you dont flash, you boot the image

"fastboot boot patched.img"

maybe try flashing the stock img to restore and try again "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (or do i proper restore via fastboot if that doesnt work, there's a guide here for that)
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] sathya:
Sorry, my bad. I used the boot command to boot the img but i am getting stuck at the bootloader post i install magisk. Here is what i did.

Entered Fastboot mode

Through ADB, i used "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

The phone booted fine

Opened Magisk as i was already rooted before

Clicked on Install

Selected "Direct Install"

Rebooted my phone

Stuck at the bootloader warning screen

Unless i load the image again via fastboot, it wont let me in. Hence i am not able to root
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
are you booting or flashing? its a 2 different things...

My apologies, i used the wrong term. I edited my post and explained what i am exactly doing above. I am booting not flashing.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
its a well known magisk bug, i also faced such situation hence i asked,

you can either try to flash stock img using

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

or follow this guide to restore

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7t-t3979213

i was able to fix using above guide

(backup before you continue to be safe)

I'll update the patched boot img just in case
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] sathya:
If i boot the original image, i wont be able to root my phone right?

Should i again boot the image you have shared?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
yes, booting stock boot img will remove root, once you fix the problem, you can follow same root guide and patched img to root the phone again
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
also, make sure to use same 10.3.0 files to restore your phone using the restore guide i gave (assuming you updated to 10.3.0)
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] sathya:
Ok, i followed the procedure. That didnt work. I wiped completely and used your image. As soon as i install magisk, i get stuck in bootloader warning screen. I guess there is no way out to root this new indian firmware.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
did you try restore using the guide i gave? i used this guide to fix bootloader stuck

you'll need to download the ota file linked, extract zip, use payload dumper to get imgs, and flash all imgs according to the guide

you can also create your own magisk patched image, thats how i got mine and my 7T is rooted on 10.3.0
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] levai_spencer:
okay you can do this if flashing my patched img is causing issues

if you have an old 10.0.6 patched img, use that to get root

i got this one from xda, i was able to also root using that
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] sathya:
Ok. I tried pretty much everything. But i am just getting stuck at the bootloader warning screen.

I tried the old 10.0.6 but it doesnt get out of fastboot

Greetings Srs,

I'm the Zero 5 Pro owner which I guess, most of the Zero series owners, we are a little disappointed about the support from the vendor.

For this matter, I'm starting to compile from ASOP with the latest source code for this device.

I found Infinix already removed the stock firmware from the official website, so I can't find the current firmware which the device is currently running x603-h575b-n-190610v136 (if any of you have it back up and don't mind sharing the flashable version please add a link for the binaries, it could be useful).

I'm figuring the device tree, new kernel, and MT6575 documentation (along with the other device's documentation the phone it's built with) so I can customize as much as I can to make a clean build, no blobs, and trash, just to have a feel of the new Android in which I think a phone that could live a couple of years more.

Since the Android Studio AVD is not that customizable as I would like to replicate the phone components I0m looking for a decent emulator where I can specify the devices I know the phone has, and try it there first before going to the hardware itself.

Since I can't post directly in the Infinix Zero 5 Thread, if you please move the post to that thread, do so for me.

Also if you want to share advice, tips or suggestions, tools, etc, please feel free to let your comment below.

If I have news and advances in this process I'll be sharing under this same thread.

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] mrpitou:
Hello,

I got this phone since my former one died without notice (coming from a 5 year old oneplus one), it's my god daughter's previous one.

Working good smooth and all on stock rom (seems to be carrier customed, bundled with carrier apps) : Sony XPeria X F5121 / android 8.0, build 34.4.A.2.118 Sept 1 2018 / kernel 3.10.84 Aug 24 2018

I have a slight problem : whenever I'm calling, I have to put the "hands free" mode with speakers otherwise nobody can hear me. I don't think the microphone is broken and I am thinking of a "bug" in the rom.

Before re-installing my apps, i could call and people could hear me. The phone app is the stock one.

If I speak right in front of the microphone, but like shouting, people can hear me but at very low level.

Searched a bit on the internet, but didn't find anything about this, some people say it is because other apps are conflicting, I tried to remove every app I can think of using the microphone (whatsapp, line, etc), but didn't changed a thing, tried to tune the "noise reduction" in google voice search, but didn't worked either.

If I try to audio call with whatsapp, facebook messenger lite or line, people can't hear me. Using google voice search works without flaws.

Before going for a reset factory or flashing the phone with custom rom, is there anything else I can try to solve the problem ?

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] mrpitou:

1- the microphone part sold in the link is not correct, I don't think it fits.

2- I teared up the phone, to find some little "pearl" blocking the microphone ... after removing the pearl, microphone works flawlessly.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoausente:
Hello folks,

Since most roms come with Gapps separately, I have a problem trying to use the Dual Boot Patcher, because when use it, can´t install roms on tradictional way, no boots, so have to decide between a rom with included Gapps (have just found two 9 pie that works), or without Gapps.

I´m trying to get a Rom 8.1 android version or earlier because I feel the Pie feels more heavy to run app I need, while 8.1 seems smooth. But I should like to get it with gapps to avoid being restarting the phone all the time. So,

Anyone know a rom for I9505 android 8.1 version or earlier with included Gapps? or

does anyone have experience with the dual boot patcher app installed a Rom+gapps? If I do (even patching all ok) if install Gaps doesnt boot, so I guess may there is a folder name difference or something I´m missing..

thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missioner:
Why do you need the dual boot patcher thingy?

Much simpler and safer to TWRP and single ROM install.

No problem installing GAPPS, no stability issues with phone restarts. Too easy.

One solution is to go down to the kitchen section of the forum and learn how to slipstream the gaps into the rom.
