[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulrika8:
No wiping during process

I already backed up everything but I don't want to wipe my storage. Losing data by accident is one thing but when it is part of the process I just can't do it.

So how do I root my a11 samsung galaxy without losing data and obviously bricking the device?

Feel free to email me.

I also don't have access to a pc currently but may buy one in the coming weeks.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Bootloader wipes the storage for some reason. How do I prevent this and still root my device?

The thought of a wiped drive/phone almost triggers a panic attack even if everything that I want is backed up.

You don't need to unlock phone's boot-loader etc.pp in order to root its Android. Look inside here.

Actually that won't work for me because I have android 10. Samsung Galaxy a11. Also how can I upload a screenshot of my device information?

Is there a number I can call for technical support in regards to rooting. I am in California USA.

A11 on Android 11. Have tried every method online and for the life of me can not root my A11 without getting boot loops nor can I successfully flash TWRP..

Any tips...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatis.2801:
Same. I have an Android 12 A115F/DS and it always ends up in a boot loop or reboots without root access. Plus it cannot reboot even after wiping the cache partition from recovery mode. I have to flash it using stock from unfortunately :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srbija2012:
I managed to do it some months ago... Updated the A11 with the latest FW downloaded from FRIJA... Then i patched the BL file in Magisk.

Flashed it via ODIN, rebooted (it will do a full factory reset, so backup pics etc), installed the magisk apk, and it was all good.

Hi all,

I recently sold my Pixel 4 XL and purchased the OPPO Find X2 Pro. In the Pixel, i was able to 'go back' within a app by using the swipe back gestures.

It seems OPPO don't support this? I have to manually go back using a back icon etc...

Anyone else experienced this?

Don't worry, figured it out, so swiping up from the bottom right takes you back one step within an app....

I've been struggling lately to figure out what's going on with ActiveSync.

I install the MSI..and right away I see the icon in my desktop tray. Then I restart my computer, and when it boots up, the icon is gone. When I plug in my phone, I hear the initial sync noise...and nothing happens. Right thereafter there's a error noise.

No connection.

I've tried variations on restarting, installing, trying the MSI / Exe for Activesync 4.5...I've tried other versions (which don't work)

I've ran virus scans, and that seemed to help yesterday, but today things have gone to hell again. My work computer is fine and I'm able to sync just fine so clearly it's my laptop.

Any suggestions? Any programs that interupt/disrupt connection OR...any best spyware / Virus programs to use?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Crash Gordon:
Recently upgraded my S8 to an S9 I bought on eBay. The phone is unlocked (Rogers) & I'm using it successfully on Consumer Cellular (AT&T). There are a couple of problems, though. First, I can't get the hotspot to pass data. I can turn the hotspot on, and devices connect to it, but traffic does not route through the phone to the internet. Also, apparently Canadians don't get to use the SPO2 sensor.

I'm hoping that I can flash a US ROM onto this phone and get the hotspot working, and that the SPO2 functionality will return along with that. I use GPS Tether and the hotspot to support Waze on a tablet in the car, so the hotspot is pretty important.

I also use NFC ReTag and Tasker to run scripts & some of the things I'd like those scripts to do require root.

I'm fairly familiar with Odin & updato, & have rooted Samsung tablets before. I'm open to LineageOS or other ROMs if necessary but would prefer to stay as close to stock as possible.

So here's what I'd like to accomplish, prioritized:

1- Functioning hotspot

2- SPO2 sensor working in Samsung Health app

3- Root

Important info:

Model SM-G960W

One UI 2.1

Baseband G960WVLU7ETG1

Kernel 4.9.186-18803994

Build QP1A.190711.020.G960WVLU7ETG1

Service Provider SW SAOMC_SM-G960W_OYV_RWC_QQ_0011 365139304e573398 RWC/RWC/XAC

Patch level 7/1/2020

Advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Crash Gordon:
tldr; Yes

I downloaded the latest AT&T firmware & it installed without any trouble. The hotspot works, the SPO2 sensor is back in Samsung Health. I'm going to pass on root for now. The phone now reports its model as SM-G960U1 instead of SM-G960W.

The good thing about Pentastic is you can install it as a standalone, good lock is not required. Pentastic is pretty good fun to use, well worth a try, just to try out new pen removal and insert noises is worth it.

Those looking to add lightsaber sounds to spen, download the lightsaber notification sounds from the zedge and use timbre app to reduce the volume of those files by 50% since they are very loud. 50% less is perfect balance.

Everyone is Talking about Good Lock.

What My Original Post was referring to was for being able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to Install ANY other Apps that eat up Space and Resources.

I wish that by going through the System Files somewhere in Android that the S-Pen Sound Files Can be Found and Replaced for Both taking Out the S-Pen and Inserting the S-Pen.

Hopefully the Sounds are in an MP3 Format and can be Swapped without Any Problems and would stay even after Updates.

Hey there! If you're looking to unlock your Note 20 Ultra from Verizon, you might want to reach out to Verizon customer support first. They can guide you through the process or provide you with the necessary unlock code.

WTF?!

Anyone ever recieve this error code during a data connection, or when attempting to connect:

error code: 13 service not activated on the network

I think I got it once before, I'm wondering if it has something to do with my ROM change, but I doubt it. After a hard reset, the connection seems normal. After painfully loading speedtest, the download speed was max...200/kbs. Compare that the one in my sig, HUGE difference!

May not be only on VZW, but seeing how the error referred to the service, I assume it is a network issue. The thing that puzzles me, is that the hard reset fixed it.

I have been using my Realme 6 6/128 for around a month now and i am using 90Hz only mode all the time, it feels super smooth in UI in chrome,when reading webtoons and a bunch of other main stream apps BUT in games it is only capped at 60!! i tested FPS with Razer cortex and its inbuilt gamespace thing too but its never crossing 60!! i have been mainly playing COD Mobile or PUBG mobile and global version of PUBG mobile do not have support for 90FPS but after oneplus deal with PUBG i tried using it via HEX editor and i did not work.. at first i thought its probably because it hasnt released yet but then i installed chinese Game For Peace (PUBG Mobile) with GFX tools and after unlocking 90fps or even 120fps and using it ,still it wasnt going up than 60fps. I realized that this device has G90T chipset which is mid ranger and isnt thought to be powerfull enough for 90FPS gaming but damn i was wrong because when playing on smooth 60fps setting my GPU usage stays around 40 or 70% at max so i tried running HDR (which is max possible graphics setting) shadows ON with GFX tools with everything on max except resolution because changing resolution to custom makes game unplayble not due to performance but rather controls get to small and touch acceleration increases) and i was hitting 98% GPU usage and was mostly 60FPS!! i was actually quite shocked to see G90T exceeding my expectations by miles!!.. Summery :- Realme 6 has power enough to run PUBG mobile at 90FPS but it isnt due to UI restriction and this is exact same case with Realme X3 which has SD855+ chip but on phones like ROG 2 or Blackshark 2 i can play on 90FPS with same hex editor trick and 120FPS in chinese PUBG mobile... i think Realme UI is doing something to limit it.. i want to use my 90Hz display in games.. please HELP!! i just tested Alto adventure and it isnt running on 90FPS either even tho its very light and supports 90fps ..
