[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bylie:
I'm wanting to install TWRP on my S8+ aswell but I'm being blocked by RMM. I cannot find a thread that can help so i have been following yours. I flashed latest firmware via Odin, cache wiped, format. Still no luck.

my phone has updated to the latest security patch (Feb 2020) so i dont know if it might be that but i cant get rid of the RMM - Prenormal state. FRP and OEM is off.

Just need some guidance.

running G95FF, 9.0,UI 1.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheGeneral:
Yes i meant Format Data. Okee so i have done all the stated above (without any errors), so i am ready to install the Lineage ROM now (after the backup). When i look into the Backup menu, Data is showing 1375MB now instead of 0MB so the phone is not encrypted anymore!! So we solved the latest problem which was the reason i started over, so that is very very nice!

Creating the backup, what should i select? (Boot, Recovery, Cache, System, Data, Baseband and EFS are the options) Are just select them all?

By the way (looking one step ahead), after Lineage ROM installation i should format data and cache and reboot and go back into TWRP and install Magisk like you said right? But just so i know why i am doing things, what does the Magisk package do and why does it have to be done after the ROM installation?

Not that i matters much but are Custom ROMs multilingual or only in English?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheGeneral:
I think it is cleaner if you create your own topic (probably even a rule here not to "hijack" a topic ;) ), makes it easier for people to help the both of us.

But have you done things in the orde (See the post by Spawn lives):

After Format Data - reboot back into twrp ( use twrp menu ).

Flash no-verity zip file ( use ver. 6.1 ). Reboot back into twrp.

Optional : Flash rmm bypass zip. Reboot back into twrp.

What I would normally do is to boot into the system and then back into twrp.

If all ok I would do a backup in twrp. You can use this as a recovery point if something goes wrong or you don't like lineage.

Then you should be able to flash lineage.

Because if have done this and i am really to install Lineage now, and as far as i call tell that should also go smooth. It sounds like you didn't "format data" i had the same issue at some point. But is it probably very obvious i am not an expert :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bylie:
Sorry about the"hijack"...New guy here, I created my own post. thanks for that.

The problem is I cant even flash TWRP because im being blocked. I have followed all steps because i have done it before with my Galaxy Tab but now i have this problem of the RMM state which seems to be now since Android 7.0 but interesting thread i might try lineage myself if i can get this right eventually and follow your steps.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
With twrp backups I normally select all partitions. The EFS partition is important when dealing with customs ROMs. I only do twrp backups before trying something stupid.

I don't generally do regular backs off apps and data etc. but I do have Titanium Backup if needed.

Backups should be copied/stored on external storage ie: SD card or PC etc.

Formatting Data only needs to be done once ( during twrp installation ).

With lineage rom follow the guide you quoted.

But basically in twrp select wipe menu - advance wipe menu - select data,system,cache ( I don't have a vender partition ) - then swipe to wipe.

Then install lineage.

I would reboot in system to check whether or not lineage is working. Then back into twrp flash gapps ( follow the guide you quoted before ).

I reboot into the system and check if the gapps was installed ok the back into twrp then flash magisk and anything you want.

Since I don't use custom ROMs I don't know what languages are available ( apart from English ).

Edit: Magisk is a Rooting Method Only so it requires a rom to be installed first. Magisk has two parts to it.

Magisk ( zip file ) - Root method

Magisk Manager ( apk app ) - Controls root apps + other functions.

According to https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...-android-10-builds-will-probably-launch-soon/

The Lineage OS 17.1 official version will be released soon. Is it possible to update my S8+ from the unofficial build to the official build? Otherwise maybe better to wait for the official version? It is quit a bit of work to config all my apps/settings. A bit of a waste of time to install the unofficial version and a couple of days later the official one ;) On the other hand looking at this topic, i could use the "flashing" practice :)

Back to update proces, i have created the backup and i am ready to flash the Lineage OS rom :) Will do this ASAP.

[MENTION=8893719]spawnlives[/MENTION],

It is getting a bit frustrating :( (not your fault of course :) )

After installing the LineageOS ROM (First i did: twrp select wipe menu - advance wipe menu - select data,system,cache) without a problem, i rebooted. The phone shows the LineageOS logo for a couple of minutes and then just reboots back into TWRP.

I really really don't get why you can do it in 5 minutes and i can't get it to work at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Not sure what is going on without seeing your phone and your method.

As a matter of interest on my S8 I started from scratch again ie: Flashed stock Rom ( clean install ), installed twrp and than lineage / gapps. All ok with no problems.

You could try and reinstall Lineage and then reboot the phone to see if it works.

I would suggest just getting lineage going first. If all ok then start flashing gapps, root etc. These are additions only not part of lineage.

Use can use this guide to download lineage and gapps and follow instructions.

it's not possible to downgrade if you have locked bootloader on realme ui in the first place

You can just download the P2Q and Q2P zip file which is for android 10 developer preview. Keep them in both internal and external storage. Then flash the P2Q zip from the stock recovery. For stock recovery, you have to 1st reboot into Fastboot. Then format (don't wipe) data. After that reboot device. Then move the Q2P file to internal storage and then reboot to stock recovery. After that flash it. Then after reboot, you will see ColorOS 6. Remember to put the files in root storage only. Also before booting into Android 10 dev preview, remove your sim cards.

can you make a detailed tutorial for this? many users are dying to downgrade from realme ui to coloros6, even the telegram group cant figure it out. and can you please give the link on the files that are needed, i dont get the q2p and p2q zip on how to flash it, thanks. bootloader is locked on our realmeui btw

Hi,

My T-Mobile Uk MMS has stoppped working all of a sudden. Have been able to receive MMS messages in the past without a problem but now I suddenly get a message at the bottom of the screen that says " Error Synchronising".

I have used tmobileukfixed to reset my settings with no success.

It's annoying me as it was working. Typically as these things go somone has sent me a couple of mms messages and I haven't received them which is annoying.

Can somone help ?

One thing to check, as I've found this with my Ameo, is that you're not connected to a Wifi Lan. WM doesn't seem to know to use the 3G/GPRS connection to receive MMS, and tries to use the default internet connection which, when active, is the Wifi.

Hi, I recently bought this phone, made all updates then a factory reset.

While testing everything is working correctly, I noticed that the LED didn't work with notifications, instead with a LED testing app the LED lightened up, so I guess the hardware is fine.

I enabled the LED under the display settings.

Currently I'm on android 10 firmware with all latest updates.

Has anyone had the same problem? How did you solve it?

Just now is LED green blinking because I have got a new SMS message in Messages app.

Hi, I just found that the blue led is not working and the telegram app uses that color for new messages. Any other app that doesn't need the B led works fine. So the LED is working as intended, but not as needed.:eek:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DAMASTER7:
First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you for keeping the forum active and helping out lowbies like myself with problems such as the ones I am going to explain. With that aside, Ill cut to the chase.

-

-

I have a Verizon Note9. SM-N960U. Its on Android 9; build # is PPR1.180610.011.N960USQS3CSK1. Android security patch level is December 1st, 2019.

Now, ACCORDING to the Verizon software update website, "QP1A.190711.020.N960USQU3DTAA" is out. Which is what my Note9 should be on? (Android 10... Me, having daily driven Android 9 for a year and a half now, I want the android 10 update as I have it on my Pixel4XL and absolutely love it, aside from all of the other benefits it offers.)

~Here are some of the issues I am facing.

-Smart Switch does recognize my phone, but it does not say there is an update available.

-Samsung/Verizon software Assistant does NOT recognize my phone when I plug it into my computer. I have used factory cord (USB-C to USB), USB-C (double ended USB-C), USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, etc.... and nothing makes the program recognize my phone. I am stumped on that, but I don't want to keep stressing over it.

-OTA updates, not only NEVER come in timely fashion, but on this phone they just don't come in at all, for whatever reason. It has in the past, and I have bricked this phone before (whether it was me trying to get Android9 or 10 early), which required me to flash stock firmware (Android 9, December 2019 patch) - and I am sure it is the culprit for why I cannot OTA my phone, but I am clueless and here begging for help.

~I go onto SamMobile or FirmwareScience and I cannot for the LIFE of me, find CSK1-DTAA. CSK1 is the software I am currently on, and DTAA being the Android 10, that I am trying to get on.

I know that there is probably an update AFTER CSK1 that I am missing that I would need in order to seamlessly go from CSK1 to DTAA, but again, I cannot find it. Maybe I am blind and dumb.

What I am essentially asking, is if anyone knows the correct firmware AFTER CSK1 that I could flash from SD card. Then possibly after I do that, get the next firmware, flash that, and so on, until eventually I can finally hop into Android 10.

Not sure what other info I am needing to include, so if there is anything I need to add, let me know and I will immediately do so.

THANK YOU EVERYONE

Does anybody know how to do a hard reset on the TYTN II if the screen is damaged?

The instructions seem quite clear but do involve "following on screen instructions" which if your screen is broke is not that easy to do.

I am on an orange branded TYTN II.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zeezee:
press and hold the 2 soft keys. then poke the soft reset with the stylus, hold it for like 20sec...then hands off the soft keys, wait a few sec, then press the Send button. you might not want to do this tho, b/c when you set up your device you will have to align the screen which you cannot do with a broken screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] neil74:
I cannot even see the screen.

All I really want to do is wipe the phone clean before Orange take it back. It has all my contacts on it plus some files relating to my business.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
doesn't matter if you can see screen or not. Just follow what zeezee said .. but you can bypass the screen alignment and first boot settings by putting a file called welcome.not in root of your storage card.

well if he just wants to wipe it and send it back, he doesnt have to even do the screen alignment lol

i have the att tilt and my screen is broken but i can still see. what i need is a way to bypass the alignment screen. the touchscreen is broken but the phone still works. i saw some things about root folder and creating files named welcome.not. i am a noob. could somebody help me???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fone_fanatic:
its pretty straight forward.. create a file named "welcome.not" you can do this using word pad. Right click on your desktop, or anywhere, and click new-text document. then save that document with nothing in it. Then right click it, file-rename and rename it to "welcome.not" make sure you set .not as the extension.

Then copy that file to your microsd card using a card reader.. just put it on the root of the card, meaning not in a folder, just on the card. Put your microsd card in your device, boot it up, and if done correctly, the alinment screen adn all that good stuff won't show up.

I just cracked my screen and loaded the new AT&T rom and completely forgot about the screen alignment. I thought I was screwed and was going to have to shell out the $125 for the refurb phone. The welcome.not file worked great. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have the glass replaced?

If you intend to replace the screen yourself you can find the part for about $70, however if you want to send it in for repair expect in the $200 range...

Are you saying that the glass is part of the LCD and

be replaced? The LCD is in perfect condition.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Oh, so you have just the digitizer broken? Sounded like the whole display was broken.

I think the digitizer alone can be found for cheaper, about $20.

I don't think a replacement by the service center would be cheaper though, it's mostly for the work they charge anyway.

Not sure if anyone still check this thread... But my screen is messed up so I used the welcome.not and it worked my phone is on now, but my computer won't detect it now when conencted, and that's how I was seeing the screen with a computer program... Any ideas with this one?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Hmm, you might have one of those ROMs that will show a prompt asking whether you want to connect ActiveSync or internet sharing when the USB cable is inserted. If that's it, it won't connect ActiveSync until the corresponding button is pressed...

Usually the first time you select AS and "don't show again", but of course after you hard reset this comes back.

Maybe looking for a screenshot of that prompt and trying to click on the correct area...

Hi,

I use MobileShell 2.1 and a little .exe (from spb tools I think?) Alttab.exe. Usually when you assing Alttab.exe to a button, you get a window similar to alt-tab under Desktop Windows, where you press the Button until the desired (running) application is highlighted, and after releasing it switches to that app.

With Mobile Shell that doesn't work, there's just nothing happening.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Lurtzae:
Since a few weeks I'm noticing that my device produces severe hangs, especially when I/O heavy operations like Play Store updates are involved. I ran a storage benchmark and noticed that continuous write performance is abysmal with on average only 13 mb/s with dips under 10 mb/s:

https:// abload.de/img/img_20200225_115908m1jh8.jpg

On my brother's 64 GB model the phone reaches 130 mb/s. His random write performance also is about 30-50% better. Unfortunately I'm not sure if this has gotten worse with the Android 10 update or if it was this bad before. I have also cleared more free space (about 30 GB), but that didn't change anything.

Is my flash storage dying or might this be fixed by doing a factory reset of the phone? Is there any way to check storage health (ideally without root)?
