[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] udayrulz:
ONLY FOR HTC DIAMOND(VICTOR)

Ok .. , Something i thought this forum needs :)

Step 1 - Which Diamond have you bought ?

Is it the one with 3G or Not .., In most cases you would probably have an 3G enabled version however countries like India etc .. have the 2G version officially on sale ..

Step2 - Why should i FLASH ?

Flashing an new ROM would give your diamond's performance an significant boost but however it does have its short comings as it may not be perfect and in case of warranty you would have to restore to your original ROM ..

Step 3 - Ok .., Flashing ? Now you got to decide which ROM to flash

As i previously mentioned all ROM's have their short comings so decide carefully on which one you want to flash .. (Don't Create a seperate thread asking which one to flash because every one has his/her personal preference)

Step 4 - ROM decided ? .. Ok time to back it all up

Use ACTIVE SYNC on Windows XP or Windows mobile device center on Vista to back up all your data ..

NOTE - Flashing would result in loss of Data on your internal storage (NOT THE 4 GB ONE ) which includes messages , contacts , applications etc ..

Step 5 Prepare your PC

Turn off Hibernation , Standby , and other things that could lead to shutting down of pc ..Make sure Active Sync is installed on Windows XP .., if not download here ..Also if by any chance your area gets frequent electrictiy cuts you are better of using an backup source as disconnection while flashing may result in permanent damage..

Step 5 - Preparing the DIAMOND ...

Make sure the battery is around 75% (50% MIN)charged and connect the diamond to your PC .. Choose Active Sync on your Diamond (Selected in image below)and wait for the Active Sync to pair with it .. , Once you get the GREEN active sync icon on your start up (Bottom Right ).. You are ready to go ..

Active Sync icon >(2nd from right)

Step 6 - Which Hard - SPL for me ...

Ok .. ,one last decision you have to make .. which SPL to choose .. ,you can either go for the DEVELOPER EDITION which would allow you to install any ROM (Less Safer) or you could go for SIGNED edition which only allow for flashing ROM's approved by the experienced members here ..but this won't allow you to flash RADIO on your device ..

NOTE - If you HAVE a 2G DIAMOND you have only 1 option that is to install DEVELOPER EDITION AS YOU NEED TO FLASH THE RADIO TOO

Step 7 -

Note i will finish the tutorial tomorrow as i have some important work to finsh
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jack_dc:
Great tutorial espesially for me and people who have Victor 3702. I will be waiting for it's completion. I think i will not be able to use signed SPL, because i have Victor from Taiwan and as i understand it's not in the list of digned ROMs.

THanks anyway!

great tutorial,can't wait to finish.

thx

thanks

for the great tutorial,....waiting for the rest.....really helps a "dummy" like me!!!!

much respect!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
Good idea, but I would rather call that thread spamming.

There are already a LOT of flashing tutos on xda, even in the diam dev thread.

Why make YET another one?

IF you want to contribute, wiki's the place.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altunaa:
great idea !!! i`ll be waiting for more instructions.

by the way, i used to see that screen , but i don`t get it anymore, although i didn`t choose the "don`t ask again" option... is this ok?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
Hello guys having an us unlocked variant is frustrating as At&t and verizon does not support volte and wifi calling on devices that are not in there brand. So with many googling I found out T-mobile supports unlocked phones for volte and wifi calling and so I switched and yes they do support volte and wifi calling manufacture unlocked devices!

I know it depends on the phone as well but if you google then you will see that at&t and verizon only allows those features there branded devices.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] screwball8:
Does this mean you were able to flash the T-mobile rom on to the us unlocked phone successfully?

Thanks
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
No, I don't believe it means that! T-mo is very problematic in that regard as they use a separate and unique signature key for their roms. I don't believe you can mix them and there's a very high risk of bricking your device if you try.

The other reason I don't believe it means that is I have an AT&T phone, flashed to us open version rom, and it has both wifi calling and volte using a t-mo mvno (mint mobile). So, no, don't assume the op has flashed t-mo firmware to achieve this, it's not necessary and may well end with a brick.

cheers
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
No, I did not flash it. T-Mobile was the only one that supported unlocked devices for volte and wificalling activating them through the sim card network, So you just need a t-mobile sim card activated.

I went carrier shopping and it seems T-Mobile is the only carrier around to support activating those features for unlocked devices and I was happy as I wont be missing anymore calls and appointments.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] roy331:
i got verizon and it says i have hd voice which is verizon's volte service and I'm on this unlocked phone as well
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
The unlocked phone should be the 5QA7 as the model. But dang guess Verizon and T-mobile support those features for unlocked phones. A rep in Verizon told me they dont support unlocked phones when I asked them about volte/wifi calling. I only know that AT&T are greedy company as they only support there branded phones.

Hello I want to buy for my S10+ a screen protector or tempered glass but I know the screen is weird a little bit that's why I opened this thread to suggest me some protectors that will be fingerprint scanner friendly ofc
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] r3xx3r:
The whitestone dome glass screen protector is great. Especially since you can get warranty replacements for only $10 as long as you keep your uv curing light. Highly recommended
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] StonebridgeGr:
Can I place it alone or need some technique ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] r3xx3r:
It comes with instructions and a link to their YouTube video. It's not the easiest install, but it really isn't bad. They walk you through every step. I have installed them a bunch of times and it's not too bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] StonebridgeGr:
Is there a link to buy it ?

I love this phone but after more than 2 years battery life is not as good as it was at first. Don't know if it's from the aging battery, the software updates, or both?

Did anyone here replaced it's battery? Is it worth it?

Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] shub11:
Yes

I am also using it since 2018, and have to admit battery life get miserable once you cross 2 years so I contacted service center and since it was in 2 year warranty I got a free replacement and now its working fine.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Badelhas:
They replaced to whole phone? How much SOT did you have before and now?

Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] shub11:
Not the whole phone only battery, and i am not sure about the SOT but new battery definitely works great at least last for the day
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] wwe9112:
Hello,

my last rooted phone was the s3 many years ago. That aside, tomorrow marks the 3rd day I've had my Oneplus 8 5G. I seen a post where a guy will unlock your bootloader (which I will message him about). I was looking around to see what roms exist and it looks like there isn't many if any at all. There used to be tons for the s3. what happened? is the oneplus 8 not popular for rooting or something.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
No, it's just the time for users to enjoy 3 years of oxygenOS update. Android 11 will come sooner for OEM, ROMs are a bit slower.

Plus it's special with OnePlus devices. We could call OOS a custom ROM with all the customizations features it offers. And trust me, it's not funny to flash a ROM on your device right away, take the time to be fed up with the UI/UX, then flash something.

To answer your question, ROMs are coming, but later. We already have unofficial LOS and official Paranoid Android (one if the best ROM out there to me). And we have a lot of kernel (proof that what we need for now isn't to modify the ROM, only maybe the kernel). But it'll sure come !
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] MxFadzil92:
most likely after android 11 is released. currently in my opinion android 10 is quite stable.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] N173M43R:
In actuality it is because of the way that android 10 changes file systems and the ways you can interact with them. For a huge example, most phones that shipped with Android 9 or before can install twrp (if available). Phones that ship with Android 10 (and presumably 11 in the future) cannot, because for now, twrp is in a semi functional state, but many important things are broken. Like the ability to modify the system partition. Which is essential to installing a custom rom.

I am not showing a "tools" folder in "program files"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kareeem:
It varies by ROMs, look for the Proxy Manager folder in Program Files. If you can't find it, i'll hunt down the cab for you and give it to you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] ericw120:
It is probably partially my fault for not doing a thorough research before buying.

This thing is made of plastic... well, I guess this is OK. What really changed my mind is the storage. For a $1000 phone, it only has 128G model in US and Samsung decides to not inlcude and support Micro-SD slot!

Samsung is so cheap now... I am returning it.

Has anyone figured out how to bypass the tethering restrictions on t-mobile using a non rooted Unlocked Note 20 Ultra?

Before I used to use adb commands but now my tether usage is being detected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cenwesi:
I would love to know. Never had hotspot issue with note9 until now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] wvufankevin1991:
After it became apparent that even pdanet with "hide tether usage" enabled was being detected, I started using Every Proxy in conjunction with pdanet and that seems to hide it. I haven't tested it with the standard hotspot. Alternatively, NetShare hotspot has the proxy built right in so you don't have to run 2 separate apps, but it's $8.99 for the full version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cenwesi:
Thank you for that heads up. Netshare worked like a charm. No way am I paying these carriers another dollar for service I should be able to use as I see fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dpoverlord:
What about foxfi? That doesn't work? If I buy the note 20 ultra I want to be able to tether un rooter no problem with Verizon as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] outlawbiker:
i had lost cable/net for about week because of a storm about a week or 2 ago, had to use PDA net plus on my note 8 (no root and latest OFW) to get my desktop back online for a week. Using usb tether in the app, my tethering usage was detected as if i was normally tethering and i hit my cap. Then i tried wifi direct hotspot in the app and that worked, however i started getting notifications that i had surpassed my allowed data for the month for the phone itself and i could be throttled, interesting considering im on a true unlimited plan from 10 years ago before they thought up this crap and i used to run 1 to 2 TB of data usage a month to avoid comcast/time warner.

Anyways, i havnt tried this out on my Note20 yet, but thats what got me back in the "unlimited" zone on my note 8. i dont know if something has changed with OS build/new hardware. hope it works out for you who need it.

Note 20 Ultra: SM-N968U1 vs SM-N968U - Hotspot/Tethering U.S. Carrier Detection

(1) Have Samsung S7Edge SM-G935F (International Version) with AT&T Unlimited Plan. NO AT&T software is on the phone. As such, tethering and hotspoting are NOT detected. I assume the key was an absence of AT&T "local" software on the phone. I read via XDA "S20 Ultra Plus" Forum that the "U1" version of the phone has NO U.S. carrier software on the phone, where the "U" version is 'multiple carrier loaded'. I assume the same applies to the Note 20 Ultra SM-N968U1 that this version has NO carrier bloatware/apps (vs. the ostensible "carrier loaded" version SM-N968U). (Note: AT&T beginning Feb/2022 will only allow only the U1/U models on their network.) I am "hoping" when I buy the Note 20 Ultra "U1" (SM-N968U1) that (a) there will be no carrier software on the phone and (b) when I use it as I use the S7Edge, the tethering/hotspot usage also will not be tracked. If anyone can provide thoughts on this +/-, I'd appreciate it.

(2) If the Note 20 Ultra SM-N968U1 "tethering/hotspot" usage is tracked, then what apps should I have/pay for and in what order? It appears per the above posts that PDANet/Plus is one required, and in addition so is Every Proxy; another is just Netshare hotspot. If anyone can suggest a "planned" app combo w/settings that works to avoid carrier tethering/hotspot detection, I'd appreciate that heads-up. Will of course post my experience here once I get the phone and get into a plan-month. TIA for your help. It's appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] mbmike29:
I'm bummed because I bought SM-U68U1 that has no carrier bloatware/apps with AT&T Unlimited Elite and they are detecting my hotspot usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] olaftn:
Thank you mbmike29. That's just as I figured. Looks like one of those "spoof apps" will have to be used. Or possibly flash a Hong Kong image or other International version image - I don't think it would change the IMEI number, although with the "Elite" package they might be measuring tethering/hotspot on their server end (like VZN does), thus the app-spoof proxy solutions. Flashing Hong Kong or other firmware "might" affect the "bands" the phone is able to receive, though band reception might be at the phone/hardware level, unless the region-specific O/S affects that. I know there's original U1 Samsung firmware to revert the phone back to stock if need be. I would not do a firmware flash without exhausting all other options first.

What a ridiculous situation in 2020, not getting what we are paying for. We are so backwards in this country, technologically speaking, and in so many other ways comparatively.

Seems to be working fine. Which carrier are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Admiral_Piett:
So, PDAnet (with the foxfi key) DOES work, bypassing the hotspot. I just checked my VZ account, and the phone itself. VZ has no hotspot usage listed for this month, and all my hotspot settings are (and always have been) currently off. I've burned through 196G of data so far, with nothing from VZ yet. I do have the hotspot feature on my account, but with my data usage and their 'cap' of 15G, it's simply not practical. Been using PDA since 2014 back when I had straight talk, and they HATE hotspots...

In any event, VZ DOES have PDAnet listed on the account page that breaks down the apps using data. All they'd need to do is take a peek... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] olaftn:
Thank you Admiral_Piett. 'Appreciate your info. Question: what is the "foxfi key" you mentioned? Does that come with PDANet, is it a "setting", or is it another apps that works in conjunction with PDANet? Also is PDANet = PDANet "Plus"? Separately, if you use a VPN on your phone, I believe the apps/app usage is not published out of the VPN. That also makes me think that a VPN obviates the need for PDANet, but I'm not certain of that. I'd have to do additional research to answer this question (unless a viewer of this thread knows and weighs-in. Stay tuned on that one. Thank you again Admiral.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] GDHAMTON7:
Wait are u using foxfi or PDA net... Pdanet I know needs that program on other devices... Does the foxfi portion work for you... I get the error message stating my phone don't have hotspot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Admiral_Piett:
PDAnet. Foxfi is for older legacy models. However, my foxfi key registers on pda... Maybe foxfi was bought? But yes, you are correct. PDAnet still needs to be on both items for it to function.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Admiral_Piett:
Foxfi was an older tunneling app that would bypass Hotspot restrictions (what pdanet does today). Not really sure what PDAnet plus is, will look that up after this post. And no, I don't currently use a VPN in conjunction with pda. It's sufficiently kept me hidden as far as downloading with no Hotspot, and I don't roam the 'net too much to worry about needing a VPN. A VPN would further increase concealment as far as downloading large files, since it'd point to a random server, not a specific source, if you will.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MisterUntouchable:
I have Sprint as well as PDA.net. It works wonderful for tethering directly via USB but for hotspot it still shows usage on my account page. I have a special $30 plan with unlimited data and all and 50GB hot spot. Is there any way to by pass that restriction on PDANET or setting? Also, I heart about the Netshare but when I search Google play, it has two different versions with two different full version pricing so I am not sure which to use if those help. Any advice would be greately appreciated.
