[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rogermax:
My oneplus 6 wasn't booting so I wiped data and cache of my Oxygen OS 10.3.2 and it booted properly (with everything lost of course). However the non-english fonts like hindi and others, as well as emojis were gone. It looked like [X]. Anyways after searching I found a magisk module titled 'Reserve partition image' which stated that the fonts and emojis were stored on the data partition and the wipe cleared them. Flashing the module fixed it. Another solution suggested was dirty flashing the same rom.

I have two questions.

1) Since when did such things get stored on the data partition? Is it done by oneplus only?

2) For the next stable oneplus update, am I suppose to remove this module and then system update? (I usually do the TWRP retention script method)

Thanks in advance!

I have been using the evolution x rom for some time and a update has been released and I want to update it but I tried it once through the inbuilt updater it completed the update install but after I rebooted the device it got stuck in a bootloop and then I had to go into the recovery and reboot into the system to get into android and the rom wasn't updated and I was still on the older version.

I just want to know if I update the rom through the recovery by just flashing the new .zip file does my apps and data remain or not??:confused::confused:

I would like to use the dex mode of the Samsung Note 10.

Can someone help me on this?

Definitely impossible. If possible everyone will go for a cheaper Note 10 Lite rather than Note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] banzaip:
Rom from note 10 are not compatible with note 10 lite, not the same phone/hardware !!!!

But some people can try to port app from note 10 to gn10 lite like dex, if this app does not require hardware specifics !

But I doubt that the community for gn10 lite is ready to do that (not enough people like you can see on XDA !!!)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] thedisturbedone:
I feel like Dex requires usb 3.1 and our device has usb 2.0? I'm not entirely sure

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Julius_GER:
Hi guys,

I attached my brand new Galaxy S20 Ultra to my PC and started Smart Switch today. The Software showed an update for my device so I downloaded it and started the update process. Unfortunately, Smart Switch got stuck during the update process at 68%. Nothing happened, cables and all still attached. It just didn't proceed any further for hours.

I decided to take the path of stopping the process, using the key combination shown on my device. It now said, recover your device software with Smart Switch Emergency recovery function. I started this and guess what: it also stopped at 68%.

I "rebooted" the device (volume down + power for approx. 10 seconds) and it starts again in recovery mode.

I manually filled in the recovery code and it seemed like Smart Switch was downloading the OS again. Started the recovery process and it is stuck at 68% again.

Now I am just super afraid that I bricked the device by using Samsungs original software.

Anyone her to help or have similar experiences?

Thanks for any advice on how to proceed.

Julius
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Paul_Deemer:
What exactly were you trying to do? I mean normally you hook up old phone and use smart switch to update new phone. So why was you connected to a PC? It does sound like you bricked it.

So now you probably need to flash the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Julius_GER:
I read that smart switch is a good and valid source to check for updates. I never thought that an official Samsung software can be so bad at something so basic, resulting in bricking my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] freebee269:
Stop using smart switch to update your phone. You haven't hard bricked it because you still have recovery. It's called a soft brick. Download Odin 13.3_3B from here on xda. Do not use the 13.4 because it's suspected to have a fishy call back to a server from a dll that's in the program folder. Download the atch firmware for your model from sammobile or get it in this s20 ultra forum. You should be able to flash the new firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Julius_GER:
Thanks [MENTION=5147371]freebee269[/MENTION]. Does flashing the firmware with Odin void my warranty or does this only count for rooting devices? (Sorry for stupid questions)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] freebee269:
Odin uses official firmware from Samsung so no warranty voided.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xReem:
What kind of USB Port did you use?

Try again using a USB 2.0 port, Samsung always had problems with it's software and USB 3.0 ports.

Use USB 2.0 and try again.

Hi guys, i have a similar problem as (xReem).

Attached my GT SM-T515/10.1 tab to smart switch where the software was unable to recognise my device!? Was advised to use the Emergency Code function but i have no code due to backing up my data to sd card! I have Magisk and TWRP installed where my device was working beforehand, but since attaching to smart switch, my device is now totally "dysfunctional"!!!

Error message as follows...

...An error as occurred while updating the software. Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. ...

Like i sad, i have no code!!!

I am able to get to the device unlock choice screen and if i choose to restart, my device always boots to the Smart Switch Emergency Code screen?! If i choose the device unlock or download screens, both screens are accessible! Tried to flash my original firmware (BTU-T515XXU3ASK5-20191224095700) using Odin3_v3.14.1 and twrp-3.3.1-6-T515XXU3ASK5-20200215 with no joy (Fail!)

Although i'm totally @"#$%* off about this, as its a new device, i am also curious if someone has ever cracked this... 'Smart Switch No Code' problem before. Hmm...

Anyways, any help appriciated...

Oh! Cannot access recovery at all...

Any help appriciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Geekser:
Did you ever get things working ? If not, when you flashed with Odin - did you use the PATCHED Version ? THis is necessary when flashing firmware via Odin on the S20 Ultra.....

You can download Odin 3.14.1_3b here: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

Be sure to download the PATCHED version of 3.14.1_3b (it is located as an attached file at the bottom of the first post in the OP at the link above. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] klantee:
No, to answer your first question, and yes used the patched version of Odin you state but with no joy.

(would another version of Odin be better for my device model?)

I just need to find a way to flash the original stock recovery. Having the TWRP installed as mentioned earlier is blocking my path, and I have now tripped knox! So no more options available to access the unlock oem screen. Now frp is off, oem is on!

Also, I was wondering if anyone had thought about a totally updated version of the old "ALL IN ONE TOOL" which was available for some earlier makes of phone devices? I think due to manufacturers security upgrades of today's phones we could all do with something like this?

I heard you can do a NAND/Reset wipe via the Odin options screen which would allow you to install a new rom???

Oh, my predicament was based on Julius's post, not xReem. Sorry for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Geekser:
Sorry for your troubles - wish I could help you but you have done everything I would have tried. Maybe, if you haven't already done this - leave the phone on until the battery runs out completely. Then, recharge the phone for a while so the battery has some juice again and then get the phone back into download mode by pressing volume up and volume down at the same time - then plug in the USB - it shoul.d launch into download mode again - then try flashing again with the patched odin.

If you have already done this - then I don't know how what else to suggest.

I wish you luck and hope you are able to get things working again.

Hey Julius, did you get your phone to work. I am having the same issue.

Update:

I am good now. I was using the thunderbolt cable that came with the phone and update would get stuck at the same point everything with odin 3.13 and 3.14.

I used a USB 3 to thunderbolt cable that I had from an older phone and it work.

What I used:

Windows 10 x64 1909

USB 3 to thunderbolt cable

USB driver downloaded from Samsung support. I think it is the same driver that comes with smart switch because when I installed it, it prompted

to reinstall driver.

Odin3 v3.13.3_3B_PatcheD from here https://xdaforums.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572. ( I think 3.14 will work too.

I really think the cable was the only problem)

Firmware downloaded with SamFirm
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ASHLEY117:
Open Odin as administrator and if using a stock AP file always use the HOME-CSC of the same firmware in CSC slot. Sometimes Odin plays the fool and gets stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] klantee:
Wow! This nearly worked!!!

Managed to get a (((PASS))) on Odin and my tab actually rebooted into the Samsung logo!!!

Soon after this though tab immediately Boots back into download mode??? Tried the same steps but without any progress???

Many thanks for your advice... :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ASHLEY117:
Try with all slots filled but with CSC file not HOME-CSC. That may help as it flashes pit file to factory reset

(((SUCCESS)))!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Done what you suggested by waiting until my battery ran out!

I downloaded a different software version and as soon as I plugged my tab into my PC with USB, i flashed the new software with no problems!!!

Flashed TWRP, Magisk and Multidisabler problemless the same!

The lesson learnt here...

...(ONLY FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING)...

...is to probably only have 30% battery when flashing!!! This way you won't have to wait weeks for such a large capacity battery to run down, like I did!

I knew I'd crack it! :D:D:D

How to unbrick a Samsung S20 that wont boot into recovery. I only plugged it into pc so I could clone all the storage to a Usb stick. I was advised smart switch was all I needed to copy it to pc but then froze for a while then my phone screen is now Permanently green with some Chinese writing. It says an error has occurred while updating the device software. I've tried booting into recovery all day its still displaying same message. The worst thing is I was flashing it with any new firmware so the phone was in normal state. I Didn't need to go into recovery. I've just got an iPhone 14 so rather than swopping over I wanted to plug me Samsung into pc and smart switch was supposed to give me the option of what I wanted to go on iPhone and copy all 128mb S20 Internal Mem and an 256gb SD cared so it was very straight forward. I was supposed to be selling this within next few days. I hope I can unbrick it if someone could help please.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I ran into this problem while trying to do the WTF Bootloader unlock and Root method, as well as the Frankenstein phone...All the steps should work, except I can't even get the thing to allow itself to be detected by my computer.

I have read others with the VS996 who have done the WTF / Frankenphone methods without this issue.

I have plugged it in to the computer as I have with Android phones forever; it says "Charging" and gives no option to switch to MTP/File Transfer etc... I also go into the Developer Options to try and change this, I tap the setting that would usually allow you to switch it, and it opens no menu and acts as if there isn't one to be accessed. I've tried my Win7 and Win10 machines - same results each time. Also does not allow me to change USB mode while unplugged, or even enter download mode! I am using the USB cable that came with the phone, and have also tried other cables. I've cleaned the port on the phone, tried all USB ports on BOTH computers - still nothing. I've ever master reset the thing hoping it was a glitch , but it still will not let me change it out of "Charging" or even act like there's the ability to do so.

Did Verizon lock these things down so hard that you just can't use them like normal Android phones?

I have searched to an exhausting extent, I'm out of ideas... I don't use Verizon, so I really need to figure this out so it doesn't keep thinking it's still being used on the Verizon network. My service works, but it constantly says the SIM is not a Verizon SIM, and won't provision certain services (such as Emergency Calling) ... HELP!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, Verizon hasn't locked this down.

You said you've already Master Reset your phone, so that's very strange.

I know you tried different computers/different cables/different ports -- but the only thing I can suggest is to try other different computers.

Plenty of VS996 owners on here have Frankenstein their phones. Some then reverted back to VS996 TWRP flashable zip, after bootloader unlock and root, to regain Verizon VoLTE as they are Verizon customers. But no one has had any trouble with USB connections.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I've factory reset. The problem is, it won't let me switch from Charging mode to File Transfer / MTP mode. It doesn't detect the computer and the computer doesn't detect it - doesn't give an option to switch USB mode, etc... See attached screenshots - that's what it looks like while connected to USB no matter what cable or PC it is connected to.

I'm actually trying to Frankenstein the phone, but can't even get past the part where the phone and computer need to communicate via USB because of the problem I'm having.

So I guess, has anybody ever had this problem and found out how to fix it? It's all I need so I can Frankenstein the phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I am finding this very strange too.

I don't have anymore computers to try.

Is it possible that it's still somehow tied to Verizon? It was recently used by a friend who gave it to me when he upgraded to a new phone. My calls / data work (I have to manually provision that) so it seems very odd that it won't full allow services / USB connections or even show the OEM Unlock option in the Developer Options.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I was editing my reply as you were replying. You had buried the important parts see the bottom, what all you tried. :)

No one else has any problems, to my knowledge. Tons of VS996 on this forum, who have Frankenstein'ed to US998 either permanently or temporarily to Bootloader Unlock and root.

All I can suggest is to try yet other PCs?

Other VS996 users can chime in, but I don't remember any reports of USB issues over the past couple of years.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I noticed that too, haha.

So isn't it supposed to let you switch USB mode even if not plugged in? When mine is plugged in or not, it acts as if the only option is "Charge" - if you look at the screenshots I attached, I've pull my top menu down where it should have a way to switch it from Charging to something else, but even that shows nothing... just charging, settings etc

I tried calling Verizon customer service just to see if they have some kind of security measure they sent over the air when my friend deactivated it from his account - but they're close, probably because of this COVID 19 thing (or they don't work on Sundays)...

you all don't have any USB connection problems on your VS996, do you?

That's just three off the top of my head. We also had a Dev, TotallyAnxious who had VS996 for awhile and a very popular Anxious V30 mod -- but moved on to a newer phone a few months ago.

Never any mention of USB issues.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
Well, my phones were not originally VS996. My personal phones were US998 purchases. The next two I purchased were H931. All of these converted via Frankenstein just fine. (One H931 had some issues, unrelated to the process - I believe it was a hardware problem with Verizon towers). That phone is now US998 running on ATT with no issues.

My wife and I are still running VS996 with no issues. I don't use USB much but I know it worked just fine last time I used it. I'm happy to test further if needed, but it sounds like this may be more of an issue with an originally-VS996 phone, as the OP is suggesting.

EDIT: To be clear, I don't think this is a real problem with the phone... probably just another "incompatible" computer/cable/USBport thing. So many people have these types of issues, and there's no guaranteed answer on what does/doesn't work. I'm happy to help if I can, though... I still have my older laptop which did all these steps just fine. I will say my new laptop (Ryzen) does NOT work on this process. I still have that older machine, in case it's needed again. If you love in the CT area, I'm happy to help first-hand...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OK. I'm pretty sure the others had original VS996, especially TotallyAnxious. I'm not going to officially mention her as she has moved on, but we communicated a lot when her Magisk mod was posted here.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I'm thinking it's probably because it's an original VS996 and Verizon is notorious for locking down their phones, even though they are carrier unlocked.

It wouldn't be a problem if I could just force the USB to work and get rid of all the Verizon programming...I'm really hoping someone out there has had to deal with this before and see this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I'm gonna have to read through TotallyAnxious' old posts in hopes a solution can be found. Otherwise, not sure this phone will work for me. :(

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I'll go back and re-read your posts again. (edited below after re-reading)

It's probably also worth mentioning that it won't enter Download Mode following the instructions found here : https://droidrecovery.com/lg-v30-recovery-mode/ (scroll down to "Boot LG V30 into Download Mode")

-edit- As far as incompatible cable/computer theory - I don't know...it's the cable that came with the phone when it was new. My other cable was from a Samsung Galaxy and both work with my Moto X4 (which is what I'm switching to the V30 from). All drivers are installed, no driver errors in Device Manager, etc...This is by far the most difficult phone I've tried to work with.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
The button dance is notoriously difficult to get right. Try it a few times. Note, in the steps listed, it says to release then press the power button again... but it's not clear that you need to HOLD it, not just press it. At least, that's what I remember it to be. I only had to do it once... adb is so much easier.

I also want to point out that one of my original LG cables did not work either. Not sure why, but it didn't. The other one did... as did a third party cable. Again, the key for me was my older laptop. The new one does not work, no matter what I try. Granted, when I say it doesn't work, I mean it wouldn't do the unlock... the USB does detect fine and the phone does switch into the necessary USB mode.

Can you change the USB mode manually somewhere? Maybe it was set to "charging only" by mistake at some point? I think the popup asks and has a "remember" button... if that was selected, it may be continuing to use charge-only by default?

EDIT: Found it... in settings/system/developer options there is "select USB Configuration"... set that to PTP and see if that works to get you in.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] k2pdx:
I attached a screenshot in an earlier reply that shows what that looks like for me - I tap it and it does (literally) nothing. No menu, no option to switch - nothing at all - and that is actually the reason I posted here to begin with. I've never had this happen. It continues after multiple factory resets as well, and on the same computer I've successfully flashed other phones with.
