Good idea to use UPS, but this hardly helps the OP now does it?

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

If you can't get into recovery you will probably have to open the case and short the appropriate contact to enter bootrom mode and run the full unlock method (run bootrom-step.sh, followed by fastboot-step.sh). The method is outlined in the same thread as you quoted. A few pointers:

After you remove the screws from the board, and disconnect the digitizer, the board will still be stuck down. There is a patch of double-sided tape on the corner by the external sdcard holder. This is very sticky. You will need a plastic pry tool to carefully unstick the board. You will need to disconnect the battery and bottom ribbon cable to flip the board over. Be careful, as one of the speaker wires is very short and is easy to break.

You need to short point TP28 after running 'bootrom-step.sh'. Then connect the USB cable to the PC. Remove the short and press enter when prompted. You can run this script with the battery disconnected.

After 'bootrom-step.sh' has run correctly, re-seat the board and connect everything up (battery last). Then run 'fastboot-step.sh' when the tablet is booted up and is in fastboot mode. The tablet should then boot to TWRP.

This method will probably wipe your tablet, including internal storage, but I can't see how this can be avoided: I could be wrong so wait awhile and see if anyone has a better method.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nittola:
Ok, thanks very much. At least, it seems there is some way to recover the tablet. The lost data is not a problem. I can't find the guide that are you saying. There is some thread on the forum for this specific method?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
You are right in that the main thread you quoted does not go into detail about what to do when you don't have a functional tablet with root or rootable, or if you are not using a brick script. There is an older thread here https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/fire-hd8-2017-amonet-debrick-root-t3897841 which is useful background but it is outdated since the Douglas (HD8, 2017) version of amonet was made available. The general method for unlocking these Amazon tablets is to short the appropriate point and run 'bootrom-step.sh' followed by 'fastboot-step.sh'. So I think it should work. It may be necessary to run one of the other steps too though so I can't guarantee it. It would be useful to get confirmation from [MENTION=7104332]k4y0z[/MENTION] or someone else who really knows what they are talking about.

Another useful thread is here: https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/root-hardmod-root-amazon-fire-hd-8-7th-t3851617. It is section 2 (Disassembly) you want to look at. This is a very thorough guide which describes how to access the underside of the board.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nittola:
So, if I had understood correctly what are you saying, I have to:

1) Open the tablet like in this thread https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/root-hardmod-root-amazon-fire-hd-8-7th-t3851617

2) Locate TP28 pin and short it (with any metal part of the tablet, right?)

3) Run "bootrom-step.sh" and connect the tablet to the PC

4) When displayed, remove the short, leave always connected the tablet and press Enter

5) When "bootrom-step.sh" had finished, remove the USB, reassemble the tablet

6) Put it on fastboot mode (or it will be automatically at the startup?), connect the USB and run "fastboot-step.sh"

I'm not going to do this immediately, only want to know if it is correct and search for some response on net
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:
Yes, that is the correct procedure.

At step 6 it should go into hacked fastboot automatically.

If it doesn't, just power normally and it should go into hacked fastboot.

BTW, the mistake was to run bootrom-step-minimal.sh instead of bootrom-step.sh after using the bricking-method.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
Sounds about right. It should boot into fastboot automatically - try 'fastboot devices' from your terminal if you are not sure. You may have to run 'step-2.sh' afterwards, I am not sure. Edit: not necessary, see previous post.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nittola:
All done, but when I have to remove the short and press Enter, on the program I get this error

EDIT 7:57 PM: ALL DONE! I only had to repeat the process of bootrom several times, and it worked! Thanks to all you guys
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
I am not sure what you are asking. The corner between the reverse camera and the external SD card holder is stuck down with strong double-sided tape, you have to carefully separate the board from the plastic case. BTW you needed to disconnect the battery from the board but it is not necessary to remove it from the case.

It was found out that this depended not on the phone but on the specific SIM card and its firmware. what may have a you problem can not tell. im said that he knew. thx.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] xmetuc:
Apparently from the tests performed, it is a problem in the LTE mode, since I switched to UMTS (3G), I no longer had connectivity problems. I hope that the problem can be corrected by Samsung, in a next update.

PS: Needless to say, I stopped having 4G communications !!!

Hello everybody.

I would like to buy an adapter from usb-c to 3.5mm earphone plug. I see it is a little bit more complicated than I thought- There are adapters with DAC chip,without a chip,others won't fit Samsung,etc.

I just want an adapter because of the lack of 3.5mm socket and keep listening music like I did so far. I would like to have the option to use this plug with none-Samsung phones ,too.

What kind of adapter and brands do you recommend to buy ?

Thanks in advance,

I advise you to acquire an adapter that allows you to charge the phone at the same time.

So an adapter with double inlet, USB-C for charging and 3.5mm Audio

Like this one:

Yes, you're right. I didn't notice that, even though I don't understand how it is not compatible.

I use Wordima USB-C to 3.5mm Charger Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/WORDIMA-Headphone-Charger-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B07TBKG7N4), currently unavailable.

But, here are 2 other devices, compatible with the Note 10::

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] Philip:
Presumably because it does not incorporate a DAC. The only adaptors that work with the Note 10+ are those with a DAC in them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] blackhawk:
Yeah it's tricky. Worse no clue how good that one is.

It was much better with a known internal phone DAC and the 3.5 mm jack. The Note 4 was a better audio platform. WTF?

Samsung really dropped the ball Special Olympics style...

Whatever the dongle DAC is I doubt it's a 32 bit Burr-Brown. Ha!

Can anyone help a non techie please?

I have just bought a T-mobile MDA Compact IV.

I have successfully overwritten the horrible T-Mobile theme with the Manilla theme, downloaded from this forum. However, I now find that changing the wallpaper in the Settings tab has no effect (it used to work in the T-Mobile version).

Am I doing something wrong or does the Manilla skin not allow changes to the wallpaper?

Thanks

Run this command

Then

fastboot flashing unlock

If this doesn't work I experienced mine failing, but I borrowed my brother's computer which is like super old, and it workes on his, seems to be a compatibility issue so find the oldest pc u have and try, u could also try on of those bad USB hubs, bc on my main pc it just freezes, idk if this will work but worth a shot.

And also download the latest Ph-1 USB drivers from their website

Also if u select new builds on this website scroll all the way down and u'll have instructions

Boot to fastboot and give command "fastboot -w"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JP_UK:
OK, so I’m going to be getting a UK Orange branded Touch Diamond this week. My aim is to remove the Orange branding in the software and revert it to standard HTC black and white theme. As it would be out of the box if I bought one direct from HTC. I’ve no interest in any tweaks/improvements to the standard ROM (different radio ROMs etc) at the moment, maybe once I’ve managed it once successfully I’ll worry about that! I’ve spent a day or so reading these forums and though it seems complicated to a beginner I think I have it all figured out now! I would appreciate however if someone experienced could cast an eye over what I’m about to do and let me know if I’ve made any errors that could result in me ruining an expensive piece of kit!

My understanding is that there are basically 3 stages to flashing a new ROM onto a Diamond, backing up, loading hardSPL and loading the desired ROM. So my plan is to do the following:

1. Back up all operator settings (WAP, MMS, GPRS etc) or use something like PIM Backup (though I won’t have any data on my Diamond as it will be brand new!)

2. So, first I download the signed version of hardSPL (1.40), from here (http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2 ). My understanding is that by using the signed version I’ll reduce to a minimum any chance of buggering up my Diamond and basically it will stop me from doing anything stupid!!

3. Then follow the instructions on that same page, which will install hardSPL.

4. Now find a ROM that I want to load onto the Diamond, from what I can tell this (1.34.831.1 WWE from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=399680) is the latest HTC released ROM in English (PLEASE correct me if this is wrong!!)

5. Follow the instructions detailed here to install the ROM (http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4). As I understand it, when I unzip the ROM that I have downloaded, it includes the 6 files listed on that page, including the ROM update utility.

As I understand it following the instructions on that final page will leave me with a Diamond that is not in any way Orange branded and has the latest official HTC released ROM on it (black and white themed menus etc etc).

So, is everything that I’ve written correct, and if I follow these instructions will I avoid ruining my phone? If I’ve missed anything to check before I start or that I need to do please point me to the thread that explains it so that I can look over it.

Hopefully over time this thread can be a one stop shop for absolute noobs who are unsure of how exactly to go about flashing their device, and in what order to do things!!

Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] W0nk0:
I'm still a noob, too, but two things you should make sure:

- Have your battery on the phone fully charged

- Disable standby on battery and on AC power in the phone and on your main PC so they don't shut down during the flash process

I just flashed my Diamond successfully today, it's actually quite easy if you get the right steps - and thosee above look just like what I did.

Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] roebling:
I do stuff at moderate heights--wiring on a ladder, aiming an antenna on the roof, whatever, and I like the idea of 'fall detection' popularized on Apple watches.

Fall detection apps promise to detect a hard fall followed by inactivity. That sequence is supposed to start a buzzing and alert tone on the watch and simultaneously display a message on the screen demanding the wearer respond. If the wearer responds then the fall detection event is cancelled. Otherwise, the app calls for help. Simple, right?

I love the concept but I'm a Google guy & switching to an iPhone's as appealing to me as binge-watching 'Sesame Street'. So I was excited last summer to see that hardware leader Samsung was building a watch and that feature was imminent. But the feature never came, a year after the watch's introduction, until now. Sunday Samsung's tech support said 'fall detection' is activated on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2, so I bought one.

But is it activated? I can find no mention of the feature in literature, online or in the watch's settings. Can fall sensitivity be adjusted? Alert tone? Time of alert before calling? On activation, what number does the app call? What message does it play? Is there an option for calling a 2nd responder, a 3rd? Perhaps a neighbor, co-worker, family member?

Does anybody else with one of these watches think Samsung is lying? And Sprint, too, 'cause after I couldn't find 'fall detection' info anywhere else I went to a Sprint Store and a quizzed a rep there--she says the feature is active.

I only bought the watch for this one, most useful, simple-as-hell feature. Did I f--k up?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] roebling:
I returned the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 today. Despite assurances from a Samsung rep and a local Sprint sales-babe that the SGWA² does fall detection, I couldn't find anything about it in Settings or anything positive written about it.

And, I've been reading this site for years and I'm convinced that, if such a feature existed, you guys would know all about it and figure out how to hack it.

I replaced the SGWA² with Apple's latest watch, the 5, a good piece of hardware but not great because Apple requires watch users to have an iPhone. So besides returning the SGWA² I traded my spectacular Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ for the cheapest new iPhone, the SE 2020.

It's my first Apple product since I sent my Apple Lisa in for repairs, 30 years ago. (I wonder if they are about done with that?)

The watch really is good but changing from the state-of-the-art GN10+ to an iPhone is like trading a Ferrari for a Chevette. Oh, well...
