[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ToXiC:
AoA. Hi! I tried to find a specific subreddit to ask this question but I never found one and now I think this question belongs here. Because all people here are using this device.

So 4 days back I searched for this cool device on olx and found out the man who is selling it is my friend. I asked him to come at my home and I checked his device. The things I found problem with are:

• Wear and tear from sides (boundary)

• IMEI not matched with back of the phone. I mean the Imei in settings>>about and imei written on back side of the phone are both different. I know the real Imei is what i get on settings but there are more things indicated by this. Which are:

• the phone’s back is changed so it must have been broken.

• it may have original part replaced internally? who knows

• its no more water proof

• we checked its heart monitor sensor and it wasn’t working either.

After all these things will you recommend me to buy this phone?

I am in quarentine these days. So I cant move to look for another phone. and i live in a backward area in a town the closest city is 1 hour away from here so there is no chance. There is nobody else selling this phone in my place (there are only 14 ads total in my area lol).

Should I buy this phone looking at all these things what do you recommend me?

I will never use health monitor btw

I am buying it mostly for camera a little bit pubg and for texts and call. Maybe as s daily driver. Thank u.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] chieco:
don't buy it! it has been tempered with and you don't know what else they did with it.

Try looking on SWAPPA. I have purchased 8 or 10 phones there with no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ToXiC:
I can’t. Swappa dont work in my country. Im from Asia. BTW I bought it and its amazing phone. There was no issue with it except different imei in back cover.
[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] crynof:
Hi, I bought a P30 the one that came with Android 9 and EMUI 9. I updated it to Android and EMUI 10, but notice a change in the font size. The smaller font in EMUI 10 is bigger than the minimal font in EMUI 9. Another problem is that the settings menu also got bigger, with separate and bigger icons and sections. To reduce the size, increase the dpi of the screen, solving the problem, but obtaining glitches in the home folders.

This is the difference, on EMUI 10 display less objects on display.

How can I reduce the size of the settings menu ?, the icons, or the separation between sections ?.

Thank you!

Call your provider to get a unlock code.

If you are in good standings with them for more then 90 days.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ostrichb:
I have flashed the system from China to Hong Kong today using Odin 3.14.(Only the ap package with the HK pit file, and re-partition and F. Reset enabled) All of the roms are the original version. After flashed the phone, I found that the baseband information and IMEI becomes unknown, after a little search on Google, I use the original CP package to flash. The mobile signal solved, and the baseband and IMEI came back. Make phone calls is not a problem, but I cannot use cellular data. I have tried to set APN given by my telecom company but it didn’t work. But I noticed that the data selection changed from “4G/3G/2G” to “LTE/3G/2G”.

Is there any solution for my problem? Sorry for my poor English.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] respectablenoob:
You should reflash with repartition disabled and if you are on android pie, use Odin 3.13 not 3.14 as it is not stable

Like the title said I just bought an K20pro/Mi9TPro who was bricked. Want to Unbrick it so I need a service or an edl account to do it. Found nothing who’s offert that. Willing to pay without problem

It seems harder to find someone to do this lately. However I do remember someone within the last 2 or 3 weeks suggesting anyone who needs edl flashing to PM them. Have a search back over the posts from March (don't think it was longer ago than that) about hard bricks and edl flashing, hopefully you'll come across the xda member who posted they can help.

I was able to edl flash with my account, unbricked one device long time ago, after that i offer free edl flash in forum, so one guy contact me for edl and i find out that my acc is no longer authorized. Don't know is xiaomi removed my authorization or i have only one flash with edl. So maybe reason for finding edl authorized acc is harder bcs xiaomi removing those accounts. Even s-unlock site removed options for edl flash services don't know why.

i have the same problem. did you find anyone?

thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] droident:
Probably an unpopular opinion but I'd say in the majority of cases Xiaomi is at fault and should therefore fix bricks; not be trying to prevent users from repairing them. Granted the user has taken actions to cause it but Xiaomi has made it notoriously easy to brick their handsets. There's zero region mismatch checks; their software defaults to lock (ergo, brick) - which makes no sense (why is a standard flash-all not default?). You could argue they've really set a lot of users up to brick their phones in this way. There's plenty of warnings when you unlock the bootloader and "are you sure?" but zero warnings for re-locking the bootloader; no checks, no warning messages; just a hasty lock. They've made sure EDL is locked down amid security concerns but it was created for this very purpose by Qualcomm so that phones would never become "brickable" - meanwhile Xiaomi has provided no alternative.

I think they know exactly what they're doing and it's kinda sickening.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Dadovvv:
Totally agreed with u, also i create back in time a similar thread on miforum of problems regarding miflash tool and bricked device.

I think only company were u can brick device using their official flashing tool. this is only possible on xiaomi.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] trixter:
I am wanting to get the raw uncompressed radio rom data. I have a radio rom only file from the ftp repository, however its a nbf file and I do not know the format of that, how to extract it, etc.

I have gotten http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/romtools/gsmsplit.sh which looks for a marker BCL1 which is not in the nk.nbf file in ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/faria 02.69.11.rar

As a result I am at a loss for where to proceed to get the radio rom.

To be clear I am not looking for a "ready to flash" rom, I am looking for the data that gets written in an uncompressed form (so it can be disassembled, modified and played with). If you dont understand what is different between "ready to flash" and the raw form of the data, odds are advice that you give would not be as helpful, although monitoring this thread may be helpful to you :)

If anyone can give me this information I would greatly appreciate it. I am weary of just pulling it off my device as that would be "live memory" meaning values and other data may change so it wouldnt be a pre-initialised state and writing that later could cause some things to get funky.

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] desertfoxtim:
Camera doesn't film horizontally. I thought the problem is with auto rotate so turned it on but camera still films vertically. Watched some videos but then the screen would stay horizontal even after exiting the video. Did some googling and found out that the sensors are not working and need to flash persist.img. Thanks in advance to whoever can help.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
If you want to do that , get the persist.img file from a fastboot rom or flash it via MIFLASH tool.

https://www.mifirm.net/model/olive.ttt
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] WinBug2:
I have a similar problem, but there's no persist.img in the stock ROM zip :(

I've downloaded only firmware files too. No persist.img . I'm searching for the Willow version.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
You must download a FASTBOOT rom and not a ZIP.

Once unpacked Fastboot version let acces to all the rom content.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] WinBug2:
Hmm on Xiaomi's page are only zip files with stock roms. I don't understand what fastboot rom means. It's the third device I'm rooting and using customs roms etc. So I'm not totally newbie but fastboot rom?? I extracted the boot.img files for flashing it via fastboot. But....

Do you have a source for fastboot roms?

//Edit:

Found ;) https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] gabtit7:
you need to flash the zip from here through twrp since the fastboot commands dont support zips
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] ANTROBAROTICS:
I HAVE BEEN USING REALME 2 FROM PAST 2 YEARS THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEM.

Few weeks back I heard about Custom rom.

And Now My mind says install it you will get good battery and performance

On the Other My other part of my mind says you will get bugs l and you will brick it

I am totally terrified. Because there is a war going in my mind whether I should install custom rom or not.

Every morning I wake up I think about installing custom rom. I can't get rid of this thought.

I think I will go mad or something. Please Help me.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] gabtit7:
Well, installing custom roms has its own advantages and disadvantages.

(just like everything in life, so get over it)

Personally, I had to install twrp and a new miui ROM, because the message that miui says while updating "Do not power off your phone" was playing with my mind and i pulled the battery off :oops:

Then it blacked out and lit up on a screen saying "The system has been destroyed, hold the power button to shutdown"

Imagine how it could be

Either way a custom ROM is better than the default one.

But i dont recommend you to do it now because there might be an issue with SafetyNet right now if you install a custom ROM

You should do much more research before installing custom roms or rooting

What i recommend is that you wait some time more to get this issue out of the way.

P.S.: If you fail safetynet test you wont have any acces to Netflix and most banking apps
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] ANTROBAROTICS:
But custom rom can be installed without rooting. So then also safety net will not work ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] gabtit7:
Google realeased a new update that checks if the bootloader is unlocked

and the only way to lock it after flashing ROMs is to do a complete format and reinstall the original ROM, it replaces twrp or anything else with the original ROM (miui in our case)

So dont install roms
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] ANTROBAROTICS:
Okay. Thank you. I just wanted a reason not to install. Now is the end of custom rom I think majority will now no more root or install custom rom because of safety net. Copyright, Security & Privacy are now priority in today's world.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] gabtit7:
Some other members just found the solution but it supports only Android 10 & 11

Best and stunning rom

best animation fonts and development through out rom ; but still there is error in the rom while putting the apps in the background activity for few minutes ; it puts an application to restart again creating bug in the rom
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
lol

that is because of ram management, when the system detects an app running in background and using resources, it kills it.

Fix: Use any kernel manager and use the least LMK profile

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
You can disable the AOT by searching in the settings app.

Also, this rom is the stablest I ever built. I won't be fixing these bugs anytime soon since my VPS is down atm.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
That's AFH's mistake I guess. Well both SM-S920L and SM-G530* are all Grand Prime Variants. Except G531* which are Grand Prime VE (Value Edition) devices with a different SOC than SM-G530*

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Jishnuu.:
I don't know why but no matter how much I try the camera and flash are just now working... Not sure if it's a mistake on how I've installed but I have basically wiped all storage clean, get an sd card with the appropriate version, choose that and install. Is this oem locking or an error on my side
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Simply remove the battery and hold the power button for a couple of seconds. Doing so would probably fix the problem.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Jishnuu.:
Doing this did not help either, removing the battery plugged in or not just shuts the phone down and then boots back to the os with the camera functionality not working... My model is the Fortuna3g and have before managed to get the camera working at one point but when I came back to the phone after a while it stopped working and reinstalling the os did not help

This is not really nesscessary but just a heads up that this ROM is incapable of performing encryption and failed play protect safetynet.

Also this is probably SKU dependent but some 3G/2G only phone only have 3G/2G and 2G working in DSDS in respective SIM slot 1 and 2. Maybe some overlay logic might fix this. Same goes with config_lte_enabled.

[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] rcs1000:
So, eBay willing I will get my Huawei Mate Xs in about 10 days time.

And I have a difficult decision ahead of me. Do I Google or not?

Installing GMS and the Google apps will make my phone more like my existing Android device. But it will also introduce inevitable stability (and possibly security) issues.

Sticking to the Huawei apps avoids these, but limits my options somewhat.

What do you guys think. Do I Google or not?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
If you can do without Google docs and drive, I say skip the Google hack. It's kinda risky. Even if you use the Mate XS as is without the hack, you can still use some Google services.

Gmail still works through Microsoft Outlook. Google calendar works through Business Calendar. Google Maps load fine even though can't sign in. Chrome works. Facebook Instagram WhatsApp all work.

So the only thing I use often that's missing for me is really Google drive, doc, YouTube. For latter I just go on the web browser to watch and it's ok. Not as good as app but not terrible.

I made a video of the whole setup if you're interested.

[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] rcs1000:
The issue I have with VMOS is that I know *nothing* about the company who makes it. You are giving an awful lot of power to a company where the owners are unknown, that has no obvious revenue model, and where the code is closed source.

I sent a message using their contact us form, to understand what they were doing and to see if I could help with commercialisation (I'm a reasonably successful tech entrepreneur).

But I got no response.

So... I might use VMOS to run Uber in, but I'm not connecting my Google account to it.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
Just got mine, tried without... but it was just not possible, there were about 10 apps I use regularly that do not want to work without Google services. Plus there are several apps I have purchased that I could either not use at all or would have had to use the free version full of ads - just not an option.

The videos posted in this thread were really hard to follow, ommitted important steps etc.

For me this one was great, even if it was still a pain and I needed 3 hard resets before getting there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc

Now I only have 2 apps I can't use: Google Play music (but that plays fine in the browser so no big deal, also on VMOS if needed to be offline), and... the most stupid of things, the McDonald's app for getting coupons. That damn app is more protected than games and banking apps, it's ridiculous... it won't run on VMOS either.

EDIT: Damn it's been a while since I've been here, lol@signature...
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] mihaita98:

[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
