HELP

It seems I might have bricked my phone, since my phone won't boot up at all no matter what I do or press. It sometimes connect to my pc but instantly disconnects. This happened after I used odin, it said it passed but after which it was stuck on the samsung screen I hard reset it and now it is just stuck on a black screen. Please help I tried everything I can and nothing is working.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmz6996:
You erased your entire system, I had the same problem you should give it to a tech repair I paid 10$ for a fix. Your phone won't be able to booot unless you have a special USB to boot into an android then install the OS

Anyone facing the issue where when you press volume up to unlock bootloader, it just normally boots and dosent unlock ?

Error Code?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dope.Dream.Official:
Do you have any more solutions

Well, I've tried to flash the TWRP on my side, and it seems like the phone won't allow, dropping an error message saying, "CUSTOM BINARY (RECOVERY) Blocked by OEM"

And last time I've checked multiple times, my Developer Options were unlocked and my OEM unlock was on and my USB Debugging was on, so do you have any other solutions for me to bypass this???
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmz6996:
You didnt unlock the bootloader.

Hi, I'm wanting to root my Samsung Galaxy A10 (SM-A105F/DS).

The problem I'm having is that my phone isn't detected by fastboot when in fastboot mode.

adb is able to detect my phone though. I have got the latest usb drivers and nothing seems to work. Please reply if you have any solutions.

Hi All,

New member here!

I've just tried to root my A10 and followed the instructions to the letter (I think!)

And after numerous attempts I'm getting stuck at the same point every time.

Everything seems to go fine until:-

Magisk Manager installed (V23),

firmware copied to 'Download' in phone,

pressed 'Select and Patch a File',

Selected the firmware I saved in the Download folder,

Press 'LET'S GO -->'

And the phone screen says 'Flashing'

But the process always gets stuck saying:-

! Unsupported/Unknown image format

! Installation failed

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong please?

Phone is SM-A105FN/DS running Android 10 latest update

Thanks

Your tutorial is very confusing, where are the files????
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fjb59:
#1234# doesnt't work. i found one that did last week but i can't remember what that was
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teh_Tech:
It ended up in a bootloop when i followed this TUT..

It seems like I can either have my A10 rooted, or I can have TWRP, I haven't been able to find a way that'll let the 2 live together in the recovery partition :-(
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adrrrrien:
Works on Android 11 / jan 5 2023 security patch??

I want to root my SM-105M / DS...
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adrrrrien:
Samsung constantly updates their phone security (Knox), this tutorial is from 2020 so I think it just don't work on updated phones.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NatroCodes:
can verify that it does

That's definitely not it. It just worked for me with latest Android 11 security patch (AP A105FNXXS9CWB1) installed :)

thankfully without any major problems, though I got to admit I spent a lot of time being careful not to mess things up since I'm brand new to this and couldn't have recovered from it lmao

Edit:

read my other reply in this thread (#87) to save yourself some time
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NatroCodes:
agree that it is confusing.

Probably won't help you specifically since your answer is from a year ago but since I just finished this and got stuck with the same questions, I want to specify for anyone reading this in the future:

- Between Steps B2 and B3, I needed to follow the steps provided here: https://droidmeguide.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a10/#Step_1_Preparing_boot_image (accessed at 2023-07-12)

>only Steps 1 and 2 are relevant, after you moved the now created magisk_patched-*.tar to your computer, you can just keep following this tutorial at B3​

Where to find the needed files for Step B5:

- recovery.img --> https://eu.dl.twrp.me/a10/

> Download latest .img (right now that's twrp-3.7.0_11-0-a10.img) and just rename it to recovery.img​

- vbmeta.img --> in your individually created magisk_patched-*.tar

- boot.img --> in your individually created magisk_patched-*.tar

- Step E1 and E2 are a bit confusing but yet again, there's a simple guide for that provided by Magisk: https://magiskmanager.com/#How_to_Install_Magisk_Latest_Version_on_Android_Custom_Recovery_Option

The needed steps are essentially:

> Download the latest version of Magisk Manager from https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager (this link should always get you the latest available version unless they change their website)​

> Rename the .apk file extension to .zip, for example: Magisk-v26.1.apk → Magisk-v26.1.zip (either already on the phone or move the file to the phone now)​

After that, you can continue at Step E3.

some little notes to Step E3:

- keep in mind that if you moved your file using the Windows Explorer, it will probably be in /sdcard/

- in case you downloaded the latest version of Magisk, your file might not be named exactly as in the tutorial. It might have a higher version number, which is fine.

I hope this helps someone. Would've at least saved me a huge lot of time to know these things inbefore.

[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zedzded:
As many other users, I've been experiencing battery drain since ColorOS 9 to Realme UI 1.0, RMX1971_11_C.01, upgrade.

I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the issue remains after RMX1971_11_C.02 or RMX1971_11_C.03 updates. Thanks
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] nesta526:
for me i thinks that issue is fix,i update manualy from c.01 to c.02 and until now battery management is better than before btw is that trus c.03 already exist?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zedzded:
Cool thanks!

Searching on google for "RMX1971_11_C.03" yields results, might be just a typo though.

The Battery Backup Remains Good After Color OS Update

I offer digital marketing course in chennai and gaining access to internet from my smartphone is a key factor for my business. Realme 5 is a great choice for me especially with battery backup.

I updated my realme 5 pro OS to color OS and it is doing great job battery optimization. I traveled 600kms by listening to music with online streaming connected to bluetooth speaker in the car. The battery backup dropped from 98 to 96% only. My older mobiles will be switched off in other scenarios while travelling.

TWRP for Nook Glowlight Plus / Nook Glowlight 3 / Nook Glowlight Plus 7.8:

Download: https://github.com/Ryogo-Z/nook_ntx_6sl_twrp/releases

Notes:

If you your wi-fi connection is unstable try to disabled "Wi-Fi optimization" (Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced).

From author:

The only firmware that does not freezes completely in my usage scenario.

Has feature not found in any other firmware - ability to adjust screen contrast.

Has a dedicated button for screen refresh in status-bar.

I highly advice to flash TWRP before tinkering with firmware or else in case anything goes wrong it may be difficult to restore your device (since stock recovery is not very functional you may need to pry your device open to access serial console).

As usual: I'm not responsible for any harm done, use it on you own risk.
[Nook Touch General] dnt83:
Hello

Can I return original firmware?

Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
For sure. You may need to fix updater-script from original update.zip thou.
[Nook Touch General] GLP781:
Got GP 7.8 recently and installed ReLaunch on it. It works fine mostly except for the lack of contrast control.

Wanted to try this firmware to see how the contrast control will work. First started TWRP in test mode. After installing the firmware and rebooting there is the standard android "optimising packages" messages. However the boot process is then stuck at a three dots animation.

Is this supposed to take a long time or did I miss some step?

I don't have that file, could you share it?

---------- Post added at 13:04 ---------- Previous post was at 13:03 ----------

Hello

Try to Wipe remove all data (Using TWRP) then install this firmware again
[Nook Touch General] GLP781:
Thanks. This worked.

The firmware is clean and quite stable. Thanks RyogoNA.

Is there a way to re-install the original NOOK reader (the app only)? It is not the best reader but the physical buttons page turning is nice option to have sometimes.
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
No, not longer than 5 minutes. Please make sure that you perform a "factory reset" in TWRP - this is crucial.
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Well... You can try to extract it from stock fw and copy it into /system/app, but I don't think it will work correctly.

If you just need physical buttons, you can modify /system/usr/keylayout/imx-keypad.kl. Keys 191/192 are left buttons, and keys 193/194 are right buttons - you can change them to PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN or VOLUME_UP/VOLUME_DOWN, depending on what you need. Or you may use any application that does button remapping.
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Glowlight Plus stock fw: http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/piper/5.0/piper/0.118/update.zip

Glowlight 3 stock fw: http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/piper/5.0/jay/0.117/update.zip

Glowlight Plus 7.8 stock fw: http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/piper/5.0/quill/0.133/update.zip

The part you may need to remove is highlighted (see attached pics), but you can try without removing it - it may work just like that.

Thank you for your support. How can I change my sleep mode photos?
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Well... Putting images in /sdcard/sleep should work, but I got some reports that it work not for everyone and I'm still not sure what the issue is.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
but how do you install this alternative firmware...how does one install TWRP on a Nook Glowlight device? I googled it all over and I could not find specific information anywhere...would really appreciate the help!

thanks
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Not going to cover it here completely, but:

1) you need to enable adb;

2) then in command line "adb reboot fastboot";

3) and "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";
[Nook Touch General] bay_wolf:
This is awesome! I’ve been cobbling together some of the various tweaks but this looks to have the vast majority of the stuff and has an awesome status bar.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
thank you so much for the answer. I installed TWRP following the instructions you provided. but how do I start TWRP now so that I can proceed to the next step of installing the new software, please?

thank you so much!
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Well... What makes me sad is the fact that there an instruction on github (where you downloaded twrp from).

But anyway, the only stable way to get into recovery is to execute "adb reboot recovery" from command line.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
thank you very much for your patience. for some reason the instructions would not show up on github on firefox, unless I would click on Code...(sorry for that)

So, I was able to boot to TWRP, but once I install the 1.04.4140 zip I get an error saying:

"assert failed: package extract die (system, /system)...I also attaching a picture.

thank you thank you
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
For some reason I cannot see the picture, but I'm guessing there is an "error status 7" which means that you need to unmount /system partition before installation.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
indeed it is an error 7. but how do I unmount system partition? I only get the "Mount" option in the menu and I do not see that anything needs to be unmounted...

(I am sorry if my questions are quite basic...look forward to trying out your firmware)

thanks
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Indeed, then it's not related to the unmount. Usually everyone have issues due to doing "factory reset" (and thus mounting /system partition) before installation.

I would be nice to see the exact error. Also I can try to guess that there is something wrong with archive you've downloaded and you may need to download it again.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
I downloaded a couple of times, and tried with different files...so, I think that would not be it either...here is the error in pdf format....

thank you for your support again,
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Sorry, seems like something wrong with attachments on XDA - I get 404 trying to open any of those currently. May be better to just upload to imgur or elsewhere.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
sure here it is. https://imgur.com/vrmuwDd

I am now stuck at the boot logo animation of "nook, by Barnes & Noble" and the PC won't recognize anything connected...so it seems I cannot use adb to go to TWRP again...any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks,
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
From the picture you've posted I see that you did:

1) factory reset;

2) install;

3) another install;

Both installs failed because you did not unmounted /system partition - it gets mounted during factory reset and during install. That is why in instruction on the first page I listed install before data wipe.

To unmount partition you go into main menu, select "Mount" and see something like this: https://i.imgur.com/OkdY0kX.png where you need to remove check from system.

You've stuck at boot logo because there is no firmware to boot. To enter twrp you need to turn on/off your book 5-6 times in a row - this should get you into recovery.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
thank you again for the help.

I keep getting the nook logo, have tried rebooting 20+ times but it won't go to recovery. I am trying to reboot using the top on/off button...have to press it persistently for 10 seconds, let go and press again to get the nook to reboot. if you have any other suggestions, I would be so grateful.

cheers,
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Yeah, sorry. I've rechecked just not - 5 reboots method apparently does not work for GL3. Does your book gets detected by PC when you connect it to pc?
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
so, my nook glowlight 3 gets partly recognized by the PC while stuck at the nook logo, but adb does not seem to recognize it-

I run adb reboot recovery and the response is: error: no devices/emulators found

I have tried with different computers, cords, have reinstalled adb and android studio.

interestingly the nook shows up as a "Portable Device", under F:\ in Device Manager. I have uninstalled it and updated the driver with no success. Under the My Computer folder manager it shows up as USB Drive F: but is greyed out. If I double click on it I get "Please insert a disk into USB Drive (F:)."

In Control Panel, under Devices and Printers it shows up as Android, with Manufacturer, Model number, Description listed as Unavailable, Model listed as Android and Categories as Storage device,

any help would be appreciate from the community. and other may learn from my mistakes as well.

thank you much,
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
Have you tried to poke it with fastboot? Like running "fastboot devices" in cmd.

Also, you can try to power-off, press home (n-button) and turn on your nook while holding home (n-button) - this may get you into recovery, but not guaranteed.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
thanks for the response.

fastboot devices gives no response on cmd and nothing happens to the device either.

I dont know how to power-off...I am just eternally stuck to the nook logo and can't power off completely. I can only reboot. When I reboot holding the home button it does not have any effects unfortunately.

any ideas would be appreciated.
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
You can power it off. You just need to hold power button really long - like 20-30 seconds.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
unfortunately, powering off is not working for me. even pressing it for 20-30 or even 60 seconds will not do anything. if I let go, and repress then it reboots. but not shutting off completely...
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
You need to pay attention. If your book is stuck at boot logo (without animation) then you can easily overlook when your book powers off because screen will not change. What you're writing above is indeed looks like how power off / power on should work:

- book shows static boot screen

- you press power button (long)

- book powers off, the screen stays as is (still showing boot screen);

- you release power button and press it again;

- screen blanks and then shows boot logo again;

Easiest way to detect if your book powered off is to connect it to pc first and then to try to power off - you'll hear a sound of device disconnected and your book will disappear from device manager.
[Nook Touch General] RyogoNA:
fyi: it works a bit tricky, but

1) when your book is powered off: hold home (n-button) and try to power book on - it should enter fastboot mode (please note, screen will stay the same as it was while powered off);

2) when your book is powered off: short press power button and hold hold home (n-button) after releasing power - book should enter recovery;

note: tested it twrp flashed as recovery and with book connected to pc.
[Nook Touch General] pieta9999:
thank you so much, RyogoNA. this little guide about how to exactly enter recovery did the trick. I have the firmware installed and I owe you a beer!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you are confused what/if your Nook GlowX is presenting on USB you can run imxlink.exe (in the signature) and it will show bootloader/fastboot/ADB.
