[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MajinMight:
My wife's camera stopped working on her phone. I read flashing back to a previous firmware might fix the issue. I thought it was worth a try (and easier) before physically cracking the phone open and examining the hardware. But boy was I sure wrong about that!

I've read so much crap about this within the past few hours my head could explode. But I think the problem is trying to source the correct firmware.

This is a SM-G935V with a snapdragon processor in it according to spec websites.

The baseband version is: G935VVRSBCTC1

I haven't figured out how to find the current PDA version on the phone yet, but when I was trying to flash it with random firmware with Odin, the phone screen gave me error message: Fused 11 > Binary 4

From what I read, I understand that to mean I'm trying to flash binary 4 over 11 and that won't work. The flash only works if the number is greater....or I'm hoping maybe it will work if the number is the same. I would be happy just to flash Android 8.0 at this point in any form just to see if the camera starts working again. I've already tried a factory reset, clearing camera app data and cache, booting into safe mode, and resetting phone settings to fix the camera - nothing worked.

Could anybody please help me figure out my current PDA version on the phone? Or help me source the correct firmware? I'm starting to think it might be easier just to root the phone and install that ONE UI with android 9 or the Lineage OS with Android 10. But I've never rooted a phone before, this is my first attempt at any of this and to be honest this phone is not giving me the confidence I need to attempt the root and new OS. I can't even get the current firmware to reinstall.

Any help would be very appreciated. Like I said, I've stayed up all night and I'm so freaking tired at this point. But I feel like I'm soooooo close.

I have an SD card with Magisk, no-verity-opt-encrypt, and twrp ready to go. I have Odin ready and installed Samsung USB. Do you guys think I should just try another firmware and root the phone? Any links to firmware that don't take 12 hours to download would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MajinMight:
UPDATE!

I found the PDA version with that handy "Phone Info *Samsung*" app in the play store.

The PDA version is G935VVRSBCTC1 5TH DIGIT FROM THE RIGHT GIVES US THE FUSED BINARY "B". I guess when they got past the number 9 the switched to Alpha characters. I found some "A" firmwares on Updato.com. But I didn't see any with a "B". So there's a good chance the one's I'm trying to download over 12 hours right now won't work.

I also scrolled over to the "Hardware" section in the phone and it asked for access to the Camera. I gave it access. But now the field is blank/empty. I didn't populate any info on the Camera. I don't know if that means anything just wanted to point that out. Could still be firmware or hardware as far as I know.

Thanks, Derek
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MajinMight:
UPDATE #2

As you can tell I haven't given up yet. I found my current firmware version for download on a different website:

https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S7__edge__/b3kj/VZW/G935VVRSBCTC1/G935VVZWBCTC1/"]https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S7__edge__/b3kj/VZW/G935VVRSBCTC1/G935VVZWBCTC1/

It's another slow download option which really sucks. But I'll be able to test If I can flash the same firmware to the phone (not technically a downgrade and carries the same fused binary). So we shall see. If this doesn't work I'll be looking into the other android 9 or 10 roms and rooting the phone.

Thanks, Derek
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SkylineDriver:
TL/DR your full posts but I will cut to the chase on some points. If your phone is SM-G935V (US-Verizon) then you:

1) can NOT root binary B firmware. Binary A (10) yes, B (11) no, at least not until the ENG file becomes available- IF it ever comes. Official S7 support is next to dead.

2) even if you were lucky flashing binary A firmware and successfully rooted, you still would NOT be able to flash ANY custom ROM's such as Lineage. Also, Magisk is useless and will not work on our phones either.

US-spec Snapdragon phones are bootloader locked. There is no workaround. Locked bootloaders prevent flashing custom ROM's, kernels, etc. We are lucky we have root access and it took years just to get that. Bootloader unlocking will never happen for US-spec S7. Much as I love my S7e, if I ever have to replace it I will never get another US "Crapdragon" that you can't do anything with.

I do not know what the issue is with your camera. Maybe other forum members will have ideas. I do wish you luck getting everything back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MajinMight:
Dang! Well thanks for the info! I guess all the videos I've seen with S7's and custom roms have not been done on the US-Verizon phone. What a bummer. Well this was a major learning experience at least.

My only idea now is to crack her open and make sure the camera didn't come unplugged from a drop. I also seen camera replacements were really cheap online. I don't know if it's worth my time....we are due for a phone upgrade anyway.

[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dicamarques:
First of, if you are counting on restoring from a cloud backup, it's not possible.

Because the phone looks for updates and forces you to update if you turn on wifi or mobile data!

Make sure you removed your google account from the device while on android 10!

Go to settings, accounts and remove every account you have there.

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/ota-nokia-7-plus-ota-links-t3818774

From this post, get the following files:

00WW 354H SP01 August 2019

00WW 354H SP02 September 2019

00WW 354H SP03 October 2019

00WW 354H SP04 November 2019

After that, flash the last Android 9 version (Full Rom) from July.

(You might want to use this program for the full rom flash: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-7-plus/development/tool-stock-rom-flash-tool-nokia-7-plus-t4023961 )

Then flash August, September, October and November.

Start your device, configure it,

without connecting to network

. That means, you wont be able to

restore from a cloud backup

!

After configuring, go to developer options and

disable automatic system updates

!

And you're good to go.

If you ever find your device updating to android 10, change slot in fast boot.

Original white grip case from Huawei. It's a bit annoying as it stick to my pocket everytime i pull the phone out but i can live with it. I like the raised corners to protect the screen as well as the large lip around the rear camera module. The "orange" one is more like a pink orange so that color is meh.

I kind of looked forward for something from unicornbeetle or otterbox but i can't find proper cases where i see a bezelraise that actually seems like it's protecting the screen.

I ordered the Ringke fusion x since it appears to be the most promising so far now
[Huawei P40 Pro Accessories] bfrrh:
Ringke x is a good choice, I'm using it on my fourth phone now and it's quality, I've also used unicornbeetle before ( still on my ipad pro ) but find them to be overkill unless you work in construction etc. also they add quiet of a weight and body to a device. Ringke stuff is quality and looks better and is way cheaper ( in europe anyway ) than otterboxes/spigens stuff.

I have the Ringke Fusion-X but I also prefer using a holster. My pockets are full of coins, pocket knife, wallet, and money clip. I prefer the Encased holsters with a Spigen cover but they aren't making a holster for the forbidden p40 pro. I bought a Mopaclle belt holster--like a belt purse--which isn't my favorite but works.

I bought the 4 best rated off amazon ranging from £4 to £15. All the cheap ones were soft tpu and the sides didn't fit tightly (and from past experience that means dirt and stuff gets down and ends up scratching the phone) the officlal clear plastic huawei one is just amazing! Hard plastic, perfect fit and a lovely silver huawei badge on the back, really goes well with my frost silver p40 pro 😊 only downside if say is it doesn't offer great screen or camera protection but I have invisisheild wraps on the way that will hopefully offset that negative..

[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bolumstar:
Having flashed and Reviewed few custom Roms, this Colt OS got me hooked for up to 3 weeks not because it is 100% bug free (of course even Realme UI still has some bugs) but everything I need and use in it works perfectly. Special thanks to the Rom maintainer [MENTION=10130007]SiddharthBharadwaj[/MENTION] a second update came out a few days ago with great improvements moving from Colt OS 5.8 to 5.9 so quick dev support is also available for this. You can watch my reviews below but I will break it down and add additional details there after.

COLT OS On Realme X2 - is it better than Realme UI?

[YOUTUBE] https://youtu.be/RzKyZn5WzaM[/YOUTUBE]

PUBG GAMEPLAY ON COLT OS SMOOTH+EXTREME

[YOUTUBE] https://youtu.be/pr9qefO6CNM[/YOUTUBE]

So, let me go into further details.

MY device is RMX1993 and I've been clamoring for Realme UI for months now but while using Colt OS I just didn't feel the need anymore. Furthermore, when I discovered that Realme didn't Enable VoLTE for RMX1993 devices even on Realme UI I just gave up. With the developers working round the clock, a custom vendor will totally solve that.

GENERAL UI INTERFACE

This is the one of the most beautiful thing about this ROM - that stock interface and loads of customizations.

View attachment 5009033

You can customize the interface any way you want.

BATTERY LIFE

This one is the one most people are worried about.

First, I don't review battery without installing over 100 user apps. Then I'll test the battery without any battery saving apps like naptime or greenify. Also every system battery saver must be turned off and with all that, the battery life on average use is way better than I've ever had on Color OS 6.1.

View attachment 5009049

The Beautiful thing is, the idle drain - it's great.

PERFORMANCE

Well, the performance is way better than I get in Color OS and to make it better it has game mode and game driver too to get the better out of the game. You can see the gameplay on Pubg above.

View attachment 5009035

DIALER AND GESTURES

While I am not a fan of Gestures, it works.

But since there is no stock call recording for EU version devices it was a welcome development for me in COLT OS. Beyond the call recording, the full display of Contacts photos is beautiful.

View attachment 5009059

View attachment 5009057

View attachment 5009039

Then there is a customization centre where you can customize almost everything. View attachment 5009041

NFC works too if you are using EU or Chinese version of Realme X2.

There is so much going for this Roms that it is worth checking out.

Hello, I've been trying to bring back to life this old XT1068.

In the past years, I had installed several ROMs until one day the phone stopped working (probably I made some mistakes like flashing something not supposed to be flashed on this device,

probably

) and since that moment if I turn it on it remains stuck on the boot animation (the coloured google dots moving...).

I tried everything. I have TWRP 3.1 installed, I tried to wipe everything, I tried factory reset, I tried to erase the internal storage, I tried to install new ROM, including a stock ROM and the stock recovery. The result is always the same:

no errors

at all in TWRP, but it's like

nothing changes

. It does not boot and if I go to TWRP I can still see files that I put in the phone years ago, after I tried every possible wipe. Imagine that I still see the WhatsApp folder of years ago.

As I already mentioned, I also tried to flash a stock recovery: the process finishes without errors but if I reboot to recovery, I always end up in TWRP.

The only thing I can do is to reboot into recovery or fastboot.

The phone is recognized by the computer ("adb devices" / "fastboot devices").

Does anyone of you guys ever experienced something like this?

Thanks in advance.
