Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my GWA2 (SM-R820) from BTA1 firmware (Tizen 4.0.0.7) to BTG1 (Tizen 4.0.0.8) after changing my CSC to XAR, and I noticed that on the new firmware the screen turns on with a single tap, whereas on BTA1 and previews firmwares it would take a double tap to turn it on. Has anyone else noticed this?

If this is the expected behaviour on the new firmware, is there a way to change it to double tapping, as the consumption of battery due to accidental touches on the screen is far grater?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JesseJames1836:
I'm trying to downgrade the software in the S8 to android 7 so that I can root it (root methods that I tried for android 9 haven't worked) and when in Odin, the original software fails to flash, I've tried a couple different AP files for my model and they all fail. Any suggestions?

Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] callumbr1:
It fails because you cannot downgrade bootloader, hence the Odin fail at boot.img. you must flash the current or newer BL unfortunately. Have you tried to flash twrp + magisk for root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JesseJames1836:
I have and it also fails.

About that, my s8+ keeps booting, I been trying to install TWRP but odin fails with sha256 error. Try again with the patched version, no sha error this time, but fails at recovery.img. Soo no twrp, any idea how to get rid of the fail?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JesseJames1836:
The effort put forth by Extreme Syndicate is great except some of the disclaimers aren't promising.

This method will work if you are on Android 9 Pie but will put you on Android 7 nougat. There is no root for Android 9 Pie

You will not be able to use normal magisk

You will not be able to flash custom rom like Lineage or any other AOSP roms

You cannot flash custom boot images or recovery images such as TWRP

The whole reason to root, in my case - any way, is to put a custom recovery on such as TWRP and then flash a custom ROM to get rid of the **** Samsung provides.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] puxo:
In my case, I just downgrade to 7 nougat rom, then couldn't do much, so I got to think. I just wanted to revived this sucker!

Plug it back to odin and reinstall the lastest firmware from sammobile.

I'm not an expert on any of this, but like a said just bringing back this sucker, im in peace.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JesseJames1836:
I can't stand Samsung's software so I'm "glad" in the sense that I bought the phone for experimenting and not to use on a daily basis because if I had to use One UI daily I'd descend into madness over how much I can't stand it.

Having said that, attempting to root it, put a custom recovery and rom on it are very frustrating tasks when Samsung's Knox and other code gets in the way to the point of everything in Odin failing.

"Food for thought" - How can your device be "your" device when it clearly and evidently locks you out of doing whatever you want on it?

I'm not sure if there is a community for anti-bloatware but if there is I'm just as much a part of it as I am with right to repair.

I had a rog phone 2 with this Version 16.0631.1910.35 WW

Since the update was released, I am tried to update

So, I cannot made it I rooted my phone in somehow, I lost with the steps

So, the phone was started again without update, but it’s always starts on bootloader screen

So, I formatted my phone few days ago and the phone was stacked in booting menu

Every time same thing even when I connected it on the pc only detect the device but no storage or anything

So how can I use my phone again without any of these problem

How can really make as factory condition again without root or bootloader screen

With full performance

Thanks for support

If you can get your computer to recognise the device in fastboot mode using adb command to check its recognised you could maybe flash the 1910.35 raw firmware for it using the flashall_AFT.cmd within the firmware folder. I'm at work now but will provide more info later and possibly links to adb and firmware
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Fathi Moh.:
thanks for your support

I think maybe recognize the device in fast boot mood

but I wish to help me with full steps and links when u get back

thanks again

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Sorry for the delay in reply. I'll have a look and provide steps shortly

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Had a thought, saves me a lot of time re-writing it... Use the link to my thread that uses 1910.35 raw firmware with working links and steps.

As you already had WW 1910.35 version on the phone before, the fingerprint may have already been changed by you or the previous owner. Basically, ignore step 0. You can't boot into the android system to install the app which unlocks bootloader anyway.

Follow each instruction exactly in order of steps 3, 5 (ignoring the fastboot cmd to flash boot img), 1 then 2.

You'll be doing things in that order because you want to install adb fastboot first. In summary... After installing adb fastboot to the root of C drive on your pc, navigate to that adb folder in C drive, double click the cmd-here.exe. A cmd window will open. Then put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to pc using the side port of the phone. Type and run the cmd 'fastboot devices' on that cmd window. If successful in recognising your phone it will show a serial number/device id. Then do steps 1 and 2

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] sathish531:
Hello Everyone,

Greetings..!!

I am a Reno 10x mobile user from India. I have recently unlocked the boot-loader in my settings. I never proceeded with any procedures of rooting, further. However, I can not use any secured applications like banking and govt related apps with an error that "My Device is Rooted".

I am atleast hopeful that Magisk Manager can help me with usage of those apps. I am looking for ways to install the Magisk on my mobile. Can anyone please help me a simple/best procedure for fixing my problem. I also believe that this Magisk can help me with some modules for google camera mods.

My current version of android is 10 with Build CPH1919EX_11_C.29

Thank you.

With Best Regards,

How u. Unlocked bootloader
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] klisza1993:
If you toggled to unlock OEM in settings then u didnt unlock anything. ;)
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] sathish531:
Check the Developer settings

There is an OEM boot loader unlock button in USB developer settings. Please use this option carefully, as you can not lock the boot loader again using this option.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] klisza1993:
[MENTION=1478119]sathis[/MENTION]531

If we could unlock bootloader then here you would see a few custom roms but instead, we must use ****ty oppo ota ;(

Example.

https://www.the***********.com/enable-oem-unlocking-on-android/
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] moozer:
No

This not correct.

The OEM unlock does NOT unlock the bootloader.

Unlocking the bootloader requires certain ADB specific commands or 3rd party PC software.

Super late reply. Not sure if you already figured this out. Only way I was able to get it to work was to go to APK pure and download AR Core version 1.19.202100823, that is the only one that worked. Once that is installed you can go back to apk pure and get the latest APK for Minecraft Earth.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] marioswat81:
installing and uninstalling many applications Is it harmful?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Depends on where the application come from. Most apps from the Play Store are okay and if you want to uninstall something it's probably okay. Just don't go using adb and uninstall any system apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] marioswat81:
I ask about applications from Google play
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It can potentially cause undesirable changes especially if the app is poorly written.

Avoid doing so when possible by not uploading an app for no good reason.

Read reviews about an app first.

Even a Playstore app can cost you a hard reset... did 2 back to back recently caused by a launcher.

If an app is running poorly, uninstall it. Clear the storage for the app first.

Keep an eye on what your apps are doing in the background with data/memory/battery usage.

Don't side load apps unless you -really- trust the source. If so -always- scan it with an online scanner like Virus Total before you install it!!!

Use SD Maid to pick off the remnants of uninstalled apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
As I said apps from the Play Store are mostly safe as they are constantly being checked by Google. Every once in a while something will slip by but mostly safe. If you are worried activate device security in settings under device care.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Just because an app is "safe" doesn't mean it isn't poorly coded. Bad uninstalls is more a PC issue but Androids aren't completely immune to it.

Just one change hidden (inaccessible) setting change can really screw up your machine. Saw that happen on an e-reader; it globally changed the screen tint and when uninstalled it remained. Had to reload it, toggle that off, uninstall. The was a bloody Goggle apk.

Be it a trojan or bad coding a hard reset is a hard reset.

It's rare for a Playstore Android app to crash and burn the OS but it definitely does happen:P

As do buggy uninstalls... best not do too many installs or uninstalls together so if there is an issue you can spot it and know where it came from.

This may be the only way to easily correct it...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] andreasarxon:
I just realise that the tablet doesn't support exfat formated sd card. I tried to connect the card via the port (phantom 4 footage) and say it is not support exfat /ntfs format. The strange thing is that my note 10 plus support exfat and open the files. Unacceptable for this device. I hope there will be a fix soon. Does anybody knows any other method to open this kind of formats?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] SteveRiley:
If the card is larger than 32 GB, then it's microSDXC. These cards come from the factory already formatted as exFAT because that's what the SD Association's specification requires. microSDXC has been available since 2009; surely the S7/S7+ support it. You can learn more than you ever wanted to know about SD cards from the excellent Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card.

I'd suggest you reformat your card, but not in your tablet. Instead, use the SD Association's formatting utility for Windows or Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/. It configures the correct block size specific to your card.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] da_ferreira:
My 512GB exFat card works just fine in my Tab S7+/LTE. I'd do like Steve suggests and reformat the card - sounds like either the block size is off or it isn't either of the formats you mention. Also AFAIK, NTFS isn't a supported option nor is HPFS.

Can anyone recommend a silicone strap replacement that fits properly? So far the ones I have found are really for the original Galaxy watch which is slightly larger and the sides of the band stick out
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] rebelduke:
I've had this band for a few weeks now. i'm very happy with it and it's holding up well. It's 22mm for the larger Watch 3. I think it's a good product at a reasonable price.

Note: I have no relationship with the seller.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Slipurson:
I have been using a Puro silicone strap for a couple of days, it is quite smooth and does not feel plasticy against my skin or pinch like other cheaper ones do.

They have both 20 and 22mm straps and you get both small and medium/large straps in the package.

Is there such a thing as a stretchable latex band that has no clasp? I tried one of those "expandable" metal bands, but sizing them is almost impossible.

I picked up this stainless steel black & silver band. Pretty happy with it, and looks good with silver (I have black, but ordered silver bezel and case protector). Looks good with black, too. Though maybe not a perfect match (GW3 is more of a flat matte black).

Barton is often named for their quality silicon straps. I'm waiting for mine to arrive :good:

I also plan to grab Hirsch strap, wondering at the moment wether i go for full leather strap or for their new high quality leather performance series strap, which have leather outside and silicon inside, making them more durable, waterproof and breathable because of the design of the silicon below them. Example below, kind of pricey though but this brand makes high quality straps for all luxury watches :

Close for sure. The silicon is a bit softer. I actually kept the band that came with my galaxy watch when I traded it in just in case. (I put on the free pre-order one they included on release of the watch 1). I actually think this will be my daily band for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] ekerbuddyeker:
The original watch band is slightly too wide. I got a replacement and tried to use it on the 3. It doesn't look right.

(I'm amazed it's sold without a silicone strap. Actually after owning the Active 2 I think they are the same watch just paying for a physical bezel. )

Looks way nicer in my opinion though and has a great leather strap too.

Also more RAM, more storage, etc. Otherwise they're pretty close yea.

Seems Samsung pushed the September update for A50.

What I noticed it is that the Phone doesn't play music anymore automatically via Bixby routines when it connects to my Roidmi BT car player. Only after unlocking the phone, the playback starts.

It's set like that: when connected to BT Roidmi device, start Poweramp. I notice that the BT connection is active, but until I unlock the phone, the routine doesn't start, which is kinda idiotic.

Anyone else with similar usage noticed the change?

Thank you, I hope custom never goes away. Android has always been about options and needs to stay that way!

Do it after because the first boot.img you flash is purely to get the recovery with the right signatures to allow flashing, when you sideload the ROM zip it will be overwritten
