yes, only Pie (? not sure if we can even downgrade, I'm out of date on custom ROM's since I got this phone ?, going to have to read up a lot on it in coming weeks)

As shadow says, yes most security patches will apply to most recent supported Android versions. Eg see

How do you like Lineage OS in term of cell signal and battery life? Are they better or the same with stock OS ?

Seem like you've been using it on Essential for a while, any pro and con that you'd like to share?

Thanks in advance.

Still my best phone. No bloatware... I never tot of buying any new phone ( most r over priced) once I started using my ph1 over a year ago. Will still use it till its spent.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IronRoo:
No never used any custom ROM on PH-1. Only used custom ROMs on Samsungs before, never really noticed any difference generally speaking.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevaloud:
I use my essential as my daily. It hasn't been without minor issues here an there. I was really hoping for a PH-2

We might at least be able to get Android 11, assuming we have some devs

Remember kids do NOT use the Essential cable to flash anything, unless you want a brick! Only use a high quality one.

Question: Any reasonably sized phone that can replace the Essential Phone? I am thinking for example the Galaxy S10e. The problem is phones are getting very big these days...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] garywojdan81:
Pixel 3a. My son has one, screen size is close but it's a little taller due to the top/bottom bezels.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
Yes, S10e is practically rhe same size as PH-1. I have both, PH-1 is my personal, and S10e is a company phone. Comparing the two, I don't like the extremely rounded screen corners on S10e and the punch hole for the front camera, but that's a personal thing, I guess. I am also not a big fan of a side fingerprint sensor. S10e is a nice device, no complaints, but Samsung phones somehow lost their appeal to me after the S2, can't quite explain why...

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] anupritaisno1:
The metadata image contains encryption keys. I doubt anyone is going to share their encryption keys

You're better off formatting the partition and letting android regenerate the keys
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] twinnfamous:
I don't want the keys. I'm trying to get the 7tpro software to flash on my 7t pro 5g from T-Mobile.

I've tried flashing all partitions through fastboot but the only 2 was opproduct.img because we don't have that partition and metadata.img.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] jerryhou85:
Asking for metadata equals to asking people to share their encryption keys. I doubt users would like to share that publicly.

Hi, I know that here ais lot of threads about removing hrad-spl, but noone works for me.

I cant connect my Herald to computer (activesync doesnt want to be connected).

Can anyone help me how to flash original spl prom sdcard or from bootloader (i cant flash any rom from bootloader, i only cant use sctivesync)

I hope you can uderstand me, and i hope you will help me. Thx Stepan
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
i've never heard of anybody removing spl using SD card flash, but heres how it SHOULD go.

extract the SPL.nbh from an RUU using something like 7-zip

extract it to root of memory card and rename heraimg.nbh

go into bootloader, it should detect

follow instructions on screen (slide side slider)

wait (it takes unusally long for sdcard flashes)
[Wing, P4350 General] Weaezy:
I tried this, but it doesnt work :-( I need to get it repaired.

how do you mean it didn't work?

you tried the SD card method right?

it didn't work how?
[Wing, P4350 General] Weaezy:
So. I flasher SPL.nbh, and nothing happened. I think it is because of overwrite protection of that hard-spl (right?)...

Does anyone know how to make sspl (jumpSpl) working?

Or how remove hardspl overwrite protection, or how to overwrite hardspl.

thx
[Wing, P4350 General] Weaezy:
Does anyone know how to get back original SPL, without activesync?

I need my Herald :)
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
if you can't connect to your computer even in bootloader then something might be worng with your herald's mobo or something
[Wing, P4350 General] Weaezy:
I CAN connect to pc if i am in bootloader (i can flash rom from bootloader).

I cant olny connect to activesync :-(

Dou you have any solution in this case?
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
you don't need activesync to flash rom from bootloader. you just need that generic "pocket pc" connection. Try using the un-HSPL process while your device is in bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] [U$AMA]*:
So, I had a rooted S10+ , using Magisk root. Running andriod 9.0, Recently i used an app from google store to put an installed apk file into /system/apps, And then I reeboted voila, The mobile keeps bootlooping into the screen where it says "Samsung galaxy s10+ Secured by Knox, " and the light of the screen dims,... And Restarts after a while.

I AM ABLE TO get into RECOVERY MODE. Tried Wiping data and Cache.

I TRIED GOING INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. BUT it doesnt work. Tried inserting the Cable, powering off via Recovery and then Tried Vol Down + Bixby +Power,

Everything, But wont go into Download mode.

I do know a little about rooting and stuff .. I mean i can use Odin .. I have the firmwares for the device, Is there a way to Install the Firmware using sd card? or like What do i do next? IM Literally Panicking.. I mean the device is pretty new and expensive XD.

Please Help, I just know this forums ive been here since idk joined it back then.. Please i need help from someone or ima literally die of heart attack
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] amirizad_7436:
Well let's try two things

If your data is important to you try to install custom ROM via TWRP

And if not try to reset factory from TWRP

I don't think that you BRICKED! your phone

It only causes from flashing wrong model firmware

And I think the best way is install custom ROM(do a full wipe)(see completely clear tutorial videos to install it right)and after system booted you can install stock ROM again

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

If all the things go wrong

At if your completely know that you BRICKED it(that I don't think) you can easily request debrick.img and install it from SD card

So be relax dude

It would be great experience for you to save your phone

Hi Mate

What app did you install?

Did you try the advice from amirizad_7436 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] comsite:
I assume that you must have installed magisk module like app systemizer or any other like that to convert system app?

Just have to uninstall certain module from twrp using twrp file manager. Reboot it will boot.

OR

You can use read my thread in guide section " upgrade downgrade without losing data" i mentioned in detail and also some links to ready magisk patched firmwares.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] [U$AMA]*:
New Weird ****

So Thank you so much for replying, It gave me hope , I went to a Fixit guy, He I HAVE TOTALLY NO IDEA What he did,

Since i couldnt reach Download Mode, I got him to fix it, now ...

I am running my phone. Everything looks good, The warning of root at the start disappeared and the software starts normally.

There is 1 issue. I am still unable to run samsung secure folder (type apps , i think its because i did once root the phone), Secondly.

I updated my Phone to the new Andriod version and it bricked again ? (got restored by the same guy again), So like , can someone tell me what might be causing this ?

Should i Enable Debug, Go download mode and Reinstall the Original Firmware that I patched before with magisk? like (I compared the Baseband version and Build Version of the new installed software its not same as my original phone ? Maybe this is causing it not to software update? )

I dunno The Sideefffects of once rooting the phone? I mean can i ever get the old default non rooted phone back? I hope you someone understands what im trying to ask ? Like Should i Default firmware it ? or just keep using it ? will i gain something? like Will i be able to update the software?

(NOTE: I dont need root anymore . Im done with it.)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] GearCEO:
Once rooted, secure folder will not work anymore. If you are using Android 9 then use custom ROM because there is fixes there for Secure Folder. If on Android 10 then forget about it and wait until dev fix.

And for other questions, it sounds like you are newbie and didn't know anything about it until now. I would suggest to read some article here, explore about some magisk that what its, Bootloader ... how to unlock Bootloader etc. Trust me one day you will become dev. :D Good Luck
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] [U$AMA]*:
What i am asking is, I think something is wrong. I cant use Netflix , It was working before (when rooted), So i want to know, Should i Use ODIN to Put my Original (UNPATCHED) Firmware in this phone?

And If i do agree to proceed, (My Boot loader is unlocked permanently btw in developer options),

I just have to put it on download, connect pc open odin add the original files and run it ? and when start wipe data and cache. is that is ? Am i missing something can you please confirm sir? and these files only right?

"AP, BL, CP and CSC (I also have HOME file should i also attach that?)

Can you recommend me a tutorial to follow via odin, Restoring my Original Firmware back ? In s10+ please? Ill be grateful to you.

I can't find it in settings.

I know from android pie, Android allows setting private dns over mobile data and wifi directly from settings menu.

So is the setting hidden in color OS ? If so is there any third party app ( that doesn't use vpn ) which allows me to do the same?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ChriMo:
I have the Redmi Note 7 which in its price range is one of the best hardware+CustomROM combinations available - for example crDroid with microG works fine.

I would like to have a performance upgrade (CPU) but loosing the microSD option is a stopper since when flashing crDroid. etc. this seems like a basic feature to me.

I do not understand why Xiaomi has no DualSIM + dedicated microSD Version in the mid/top-range lineup. Even RN7 has a shared microSD.

With all the different versions, slight hardware upgrades and continental name changes is there maybe a kinda Mi 9T Pro with microSD (and EU LTE Bands)?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] hoopsnake:
Nope, no microSD just means being more reliant on a pc, not a deal-breaker imo.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
The phone has plenty of memory and for flashing and wiping data there's always USB OTG. Micro SD is just not needed.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ChriMo:
Well on RN7 128GB RAM + 128 GB microSD whith a lot of 4k filming and on-device cutting + re-encoding I need to do constant file management (meaning moving to HD's) to keep the memory from getting full. So in response to [MENTION=10357717]hoopsnake[/MENTION] I am more reliant on a PC ;)

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] JonasAb99:
I have received the November update for a while now but i do not want to update because I found a video about the November update and after the person updated his phone his fingerprint sensor stopped working. I have also seen other posts about people complaining about their fingerprint sensor not working after the update. Can anyone confirm not having this issue after updating to the November update??
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Blankisblank:
If by november update, you mean the November security patch update then I'll just say that I haven't had any problems with it. I did notice that it was harder to register fingerprints (it kept failing, or saying it wasn't fully covered), but that is more likely to be because I got a glass screen protector. All in all it still register and i feel like the sensor is slightly faster so I would say give it a try

Hey swampy how you been?

I tried yesterday your recook kitchen... new upgrade version 1.2... but I have an issue after the step when you can mod the initflashfiles... and use that third party app... I cant remember the name the app that coverts unicode - ansi you know...

The kitchen freeze after that I choose save and then close the app hit enter to continue and nothing happens but something change on my system... my multimedia files like video avi wmv (flv is good); music mp3 and wma; TXT and reg files seems to loose its asociation to the respective players and programs... cause when I click twice over any of them... the IE7 launch itself and launching again many many windows and the task manager cant handle it to close them... I cant figured out how to fix this and why this happens so...

I ask you if you have an answer...

Do I need to format my PC?

Im uploading an example of how my machine sees in youtube but is uploading... wait for the uploading process.

thanks men

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:

Yes it remains runing on the background minimized there... so if i change the settings and disable the runing on the task bar minimized my asociations would back at the normal job?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
yes the cmd but my file asociations?

Well the cmd batch for kitchen will continue but the file asociation will be repaired? if the kitchen finish by itself?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:
file asociation on ppc or PC? the kitchen will not change things on it's own only you change thing useing the kitchen so I can't say but if some thing in the kitchen has got corrupted The best thing to do is start again run bat file select 1) then 1) in next menu clean, then run 1) again and past your nk.nbf and so on
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
YEP!!!

On my PC... even if I choose "open with..." then select windows media player... then "Always use this progran for this kind of file" then open... it opens the IE7 and goes crazy :p the video file uploading is so slow... what da... jejej i will edit add the link this can helps to understands it... yes I restart the kitchen and guess what it can't open now the HKCU.reg in the step user.hv and closes by itself... i think cause the asociation gets corrupt the kitchen cant do it... and yes i have install the reg workshop as you said...

Hope it works fine next time... I hate... format my PC cause i need to backup in DVD my data... :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:
Sorry mate don't know what could have hapened to your pc but the kitchen only works on ppc rom's the batch file can only access the folder's below it, IE: inside the kitchen folder that the bat file was launched in, so i doubt it was the kitchen that caused your problem, But my son had some problems with IE7 and found all was OK after uninstalling it so before you go formating your pc insert your windows disk and choose repair
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:

BTW... If I just dump a rom... wich folders contain the dumped rom? and how is it name?

thanks for all... :cool:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:

OK i finish the process again!

I was able to return to a previous date system restore... and it works again.

So I decide to finish the process I had errors on reg but thats why I use other rom not indicated , but the point wasnt cook a rom was find the reason of my XP trouble... and guess what... remains

The process finish... and the kitchen closes itself now I have my nk.nbf ready to flash but my asociations again! got loose look at the movie men!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:
Hi there the only thing i can think of is that you didn't setup regworkshop correctly? and if that's the case then your PC regestry as been corrupted by the PPC reg entries, there is a form of regedit installed with XP and it could have inported the hkcu or hklm *.reg files from the kitchen into the pc regestry:confused:, I can only recomend that you restore again and delete the kitchen then unpack again install regworkshop right click on the *.reg file that's in the same folder as the reg workshop.exe and navigate to program files on your pc and select regworkshop.exe to associate the *.reg files with it thay should be red color not blue hope this helps

P.S. don't flash that rom it could be corrupt
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yeah.... nice idea!

I will do what you said BTW if my regworkshop trial expires... wich other progran can I use?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:
I don't cook that way anymore, but what i use to do is I backup my pc with all my setting and software VB net etc. keep all my kitchens and cooking tools on d:\ and then when the 30 day trial on cabmanager and regworshop expiered i'd do as much work on the rom's till i needed them again then restore my pc and then install them again, All i can say is if you google you will find ;):D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
YEAH!!!

hehehehe you are right... google... ;)

But restore you mean... format and install again OS on your PC? well seems that your HD must be Ultra erased and formated jejeje :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swampy395:
My laptop comes with a backup program so i set my laptop up then back it up then after a month or so i roll back to the backup this removes all trace of timers:D then if i have new apps to install:) install backup then reinstall regworkshop and cabmanager now work for a month:D:D and repeat,

keep all work on D:\ that stays there not touched by backup/restore

TIP if you have to format you PC when you set it up make your C:\ partition around 10gig and the rest to D:\ that way it's quick to backup and restore

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O's:
Using MagMa 6.0.1, with RR DPI Changer system app.

I changed the dpi, and the phone immediately said System UI has stopped. Now I can't get use it. The last backup was a while ago.

Any way to use TWRP to remove the effects of the RR DPI Changer app?

I tried deleting the app, but I'm not sure a) if I'm deleting the right files, b) if I'm deleting all the files, and c) if just deleting the app is all I need to fix it anyway, since this obviously affects System UI.

Tried dirty-flashing. No help.

Other posts in similar scenarios suggest reflashing only System, but that doesn't seem to help here since I changed dpi through an app, not just through build.prop.

Is there any way to revert the dpi without just doing a clean flash?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuoPrimum:
You could copy and edit the build prop file to your desired dpi. The default is 560, I think.
