[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Paleaos:
Hi Lats... I've tried a variety of roms on my Compact IV and I have to say, me and my colleagues at work find that Swiftblades roms are pretty much as good as they come. He's now released version 5.0 and if you're still on the original T-mobile rom, then you'll notice one hell of a difference and improvement in speed and usability.

Go for it and don't worry if your concerned about warranty, there is a stock T-mobile rom floating around on the forum and instructions on how to return your Compact IV back to it's original state.

If you find the whole rom thing confusing, then take a look at this site:- www.modmydiamond.info It'll pretty much tell you everything.

Basically though, you'll find there are 3 phases to upgrading

1) HardSPL - In laymans terms, this pretty much opens the phone up for flashing roms. Most people seem to go for and recommend using Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex Developers Edition-Unsigned. There are consequences to using an unsigned version, it means you could in theory download and install a dodgy untested Rom, but it's up to you to go for roms on the thread from reputable guys where you can see lots of other people have installed their tried and tested roms.

Once you've done this, you'll not need to do this again.

2) The Radio - This deals with the comms side of the phone, ie phone signal strength etc etc. It's pretty much been agreed by most people that v1.00.25.05 appears to be the best of the bunch.

3) Lastly choose a rom, there are half a dozen really good roms out there and many of them are down to personal choice. Many of them are customised too much for my liking. I chose Swifts as he pretty much keeps his clean and looking like a stock rom.

You'll only have to do the Hard-SPL once and probably the radio once, unless a better radio arrives. So once you've done all this, you can keep trying different roms without the need to do the Hard-SPL and radio all over again.

Hope this clarifies things a bit for you.

Good luck and have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lats:
Thanks ever so much guys. I already feel alot more confident about this. Just one question... guide suggests the following:-

Manually enter the Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time

Where is the camera button and it sounds as I need 3 hands to do this!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Paleaos:
They're refering to the main round button below your screen in the middle of the 4 buttons, and yes you need 3 hands, but you can just about do it with 2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Towserspvm2000:
Let us know which ROM you upgrade to - I'm on the same ROM and radio as you are. Bit nervous about flashing the rom as my last phone (Vario II/Hermes) had to go back a month after I had it due to the screen alignment issues. After the warranty expired, I was flashing daily (lol) and yes, they do make a big difference.

I've got a copy of the UK Tmobile rom from this site, but cant remember the page now or what i typed in to get it... will try again later. It's called "RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
That is for last resort methods only...

Ensure you are connnected via activesync when doing any flashing, remembering to hard reset again after every flash,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lats:
Yeah, most definetly I will let you know but I think it will be over the weekend now. I had a quick attempt to get bootloader going, but it don't look easy. Phone just resets everytime and just reboots back to normal.

If anyone has any tips on which buttons I need to press first or if there is any easier way of doing this, I'm listening. :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
If you want to flash any ROM - you dont need to manually enter boot loader to do so...

As I mentioned before.

just make sure you have active-sync running and working and the battery id over %50 charged.

Hello everyone,

not to have misunderstanding, there's no drama, I just wonder if any of you had similar experience.

So, I bought GW3 for a gift. Box was fine, properly sealed, all stickers at place. Grand opening day has come and ...surprise. Smudges on the display, like someone was doing circling moves on it with a dirty finger (display, not bezel) and "nice" sticky fingerprint on the bezel. I have no pictures as friendly gift receiver didn't mind and didn't want to raise alarm.

Anyway, I wonder... I thought factory employees packaging equipment would wear gloves, especially as there are no protective films on those watches. My own was spotless when I bought it and from my experience I hardly leave any fingerprints, smudges or other marks on it. Since yesterday I watched several unboxing videos (got crazy eyes), googled and ...what I was thinking, of course it's not happening :D.

I feel embarrassed even though I didn't temper with the box and the box itself looked like nobody else tempered with it (unless with access to Samsung's seals). Luckily my friend was very understanding in his happiness :D. Where I live there's no return policy for such items, so let's hope it was the first and the last surprise of this kind.

Sorry for long ridiculous story, but I thought I could share, to hear from you if you ever experienced similar - not a brick in the box (I know those happen), but so obvious signs of usage on originally sealed device.

Regards and thanks to all,
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] dgerton:
Mine was ordered through t-mob with the seals intact. It came with two clear, partial fingerprints on the sensor as well as a streak on the crystal. I was surprised that neither had the plastic film that even cheap brands had. But they were all easily wiped off.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] corwin_amber:
Same here, no fingerprints but also the display was a little smudgy, like you described, in a circular way. It was sealed properly as you were describing.

No drama, all is well but I was surprised as you were.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] gaeilge:
Thank you both. Maybe we all have common "friend" in Vietnam :).

No drama for sure, but I think it's a shame. They shouldn't allow it, not only in case of expensive flagship, but no matter price or watch status. It's a bit of disrespect toward clients. I don't expect golden box, but device should be squeaky clean.

Hi!.

Is bootloader unlocking and rooting a thing on this device?

I'm really curious if anyone has done it and how difficult it was :cowboy:
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] walkwitmeinhel:
tbh you can unlock nubia device easy but the problem is no twrp and rom dev are into it..unless you search chinese forum for that..this nubia phone never ever in my life i buy ...and worst scenario no software updates only security patch thats it..i have red magic 3s global version and software is so crap and bugs..i have to flash cn rom
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Well that's unfortunate because the 5S looks seriously polished since then. They've come a ways and this is the first time I've legitimately been considering Red Magic. It would be a shame if this phone didn't see any development.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Patrick Morgan:
the RM5G (nx659j) and the 5S (nx659j) both have the same hardware ID

the S comes with faster internal memory speed, ram, and an extra layer of Silver on the cooler.

otherwise basically the same device.

the 5G forums already have an excellent modded Kernel, and Have AOSP and LOS developers working on roms. once the 5S has a working TWRP it shouldn't be hard to use the 5G roms already in development.

also from personal experience, the 5S stock rom is quite solid. I've had my 5S for a few days now and tested a fair bit, so far so good. I've not experienced any of the bugs being mentioned on the 5G page. alot of the bugs that have been reported by the 5G users have been fixed on the 5S

If Nubia release all their sources for the phone, both kernel and drivers, it will be easy to port many roms to this device. with a few devs already on board doing work with the 5G I see the 5S doing well.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Has Nubia ever released both kernel and driver sources on previous phones before?

Edit: Guess I answered my own question, the z17 had a crap ton of development.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Rstment ^m^:
Thanks for all the insights guys!

I'll wait and see how it plays out first, I jumped the gun before and went with huawei thinking project treble and all would mean much easier and faster development but you can see how that played out....

It's 700$ too much to buy a device that's potentially without source code or development - or even worse another huawei x.x
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Patrick Morgan:
From what I understand, Mattofthedead, the developer for the 5G OC kernel helped with a crowd fund to get a lineage developer to help with getting lineage on the phone. they're soon to release the first version.

Once a working lineage rom is made and released it will be the base for literally every AOSP rom. meaning this phone is going to get alot of support.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Honestly that would be great, I've been watching phones for a long time and truthfully if the OP 8T doesn't beat this phone out in a fair amount of ways then this phone is surely one of the absolute best ones you can get in the year of the SD 865... Definitely worth consideration for an upgrade. However you're also having to look at the fact that A LOT of upper tier specs and performance features are now leaking down to a ton of mid rangers, for example high refresh rate, large battery capacity, bezeless displays, better camera implementations, 5G accessibility... So to me that just signifies that maybe it might also be worth waiting for the SD 875 series??? I mean technology usually only gets more expensive right, but seems to me they're going to have less and less to offer as exclusively flagship and people just aren't going to dish out $1,000 every time they want a phone upgrade.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Patrick Morgan:
Waiting is totally up to you. I got one because my last phone was 6 years old.

a speed test done comparing stock OP8 and the RM5G with Matts Kernel, the RM5G smoked the OP8. antutu and other benchmarks.,

considering the 5S is a slight update to that hardware with better internals only means we'll get a slightly better speed than his 5G.

I picked this up mainly because it was the price of upper midrange phones now, but with specs of top tier flagships. (its basically a s20 ultra 5g without the camera) for less than half the price.

the 5S ROM version really did a great job fixing the errors reported by the 5G community, face unlock, UI bugs, Finger print senor all working quite well on the 5S. the gaming aspect of the phone too is really good, with modable trigger buttons, there is a option in the game mode of the phone to map the shoulder buttons to anything on the screen. so you dont have to tap over something that may block your view. to you can tap something that is hard to reach depending on the option (or for example move while aiming and shooting at the same time in FPS). its a fantastic feature.

I'm really happy with this phone and the next update (form looking at the speed increase of the current CN rom) its going to be a monster of a phone.

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] yhe2x:
A big thank you to you sir, with all these steps I would really need to spend some time and carefully follow each step so I would end up with a shiny new brick lol.

I have another question and forgive me for being such a noob, do you need to unlock the bootloader first before you can obtain root? and will I be able to use apps like Kingroot after I unlock the bootloader?

Once again, your help is greatly appreciated.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] TopoX84:
yeah, i jump to it after reading and reading and i still ended up with my device 4-5 hrs down as some stuff i followed didnt worked and i didnt know how to use XiaoMiFlash.exe

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ never used kingroot, you could try it out - the above gives you the steps to revert back as well to factory settings by using the image folder

the above will leave you with permanent TWRP, which leads to this issue - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82272969&postcount=6 - from my perspective is a minimal thing
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Patrick Morgan:
this is all very complicated and unnecessary for the 5S

Making sure you have the correct drivers installed for fastboot. and the steps are quite direct. you do need to wipe everything so backing up your internal data is reccommended. these steps do not unlock your bootloader.

I posted a short tutorial here with a zip with all needed files.

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] xra7en:
I know this thread is for the play, but I cant find anything about the FORGE.

I cannot find any info (other than specs) about this phone. Motorola support says its one they do not make in the USA (I purchased it from cricket),

I am having issues unlocking it and of course no information on rooting it either.

When it comes to unlocking, or rooting - which I want to do to switch ROMS or maybe put linux on it, what info does anyone have ?

I saw a tutorial putting ubuntu on without rooting, yet when I ran Termux it said "Termux was unable to install the boostrap packages."

Is there a method here on XDA that I can try (not really concerned about bricking - phone is pretty cheap at $89, so if it fails, I'll just grab another :laugh:

Partial solution to one of my mentioned issues was the TERMUX failure to install.

I finally (it seemed to work on an old beater phone, and the only difference was that the beart did not have an SD card) found that the reason it would not install, was because it was installing on the SD card, the setting was an extended drive vs a portable drive. I changed it to portable drive and the TERMUX worked fine.

so - anyone having issues with similar aps, make sure you use your SD card as portable.

Please move it to correct forum if this is not the right one.

I bought Samsung Galaxy Note Plus 10 5G in Oct 2019 from Verizon (all paid). I ported my number from Verizon to AT&T 5 days ago (after 9 months of using it with Verizon). My account is disconnected from Verizon and I have received the port is completed e-mail from them. AT&T has confirmed that the sim is fully activated.

But Guess what, When I put the sim in mobile it says another carrier is not allowed to be used on this phone ! For last 4 days I have wasted more than 10 hours staying in Verizon store and on call with customer care and they have no idea what is going on ! Customer care says the phone is fully unlocked. After 3 days of constant trying one of the representative said you have to reactivate the old account again and then try unlock again from the backend (which I have no control of !) . And, guess what, none of those good people are reactivating the account.

Verizon store guy doesn't help, just says talk to customer care and customer care says its unlocked so they can't do anything.

What should I do ? :(
