by HARD RESET i dont mean turn the phone off and on again, i mean restore the phone back to the way it came from the factory, which will reinstall all the bundled software, including google maps.

you do this with the phone on and Press and hold volume down and the action key and press the soft reset button with the stylus (while still holding volume down and action),

release soft reset button but keep the others pressed until the message appears on the screen.

Once the message appears you either press volume up to hard reset and leave internal storage intact or volume down to hard reset and clear internal storage.

I didnt have to do a hard reset to install Google Maps, just did a google search found the correct cab file and away we go. :)

Now to find a freeware folder locker, can Windows mobile run a .exe or does it have to be a cab file?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ninjajim4:
Hi all, quick rundown of what i'm trying to do -- i have two S8 phones, and I have to trade in one of them for upgrade. The phone I want to trade in is all scratched up but has about a billion apps. The other one just had its screen and battery replaced so it's nice and clean and I want to keep that one.

So, I want to get a full ROM backup of the first one, flash it onto the second one. It SOUNDS like it's possible to root and do this without tripping knox, but I just wanted to get some expert opinion/direction before I screw something up. I tried Buggy Backup and Helium but apparently I can't get the app data from a lot of these apps without rooting and backing up.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] JPMuller:
Hi, I was having some trouble with installing a custom ROM on my j5y17zte because I did not have a vendor partition, I have used sgdisk commands in twrp to delete the user data partition, and create the partitions vendor and user data. After reboot, the problem persisted and so I tried to change the name of the partition "vendor" to "VENDOR" which enabled it to be correctly recognised as the /vendor partition. However, I have forgotten the name of the user data partition, and after trying some variations, I can't find the correct name of the user data partition. To get it, you can either open an adb shell terminal in the computer or using the recovery's terminal. Using the command:

sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0

prints the partition names and some data about them. I would need the name as it appers of the user data partition.

Thank you in advance

Does anyone know how to disable charging through USB?

Standard question, I know, but I still could not find the answer.

However, I don't have the EnableUsbCharging key

This renders the complete USB not working.

No, not for my phone's battery. It is for my laptop's battery when I'm using the phone as a router in the train.

So, does anyone know? Thanx!

[Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) Questions & Answers] louvr:
Hello friends!

so I was experimenting with my phone NOKIA and the software OST LA 6.2.8, I didn't flash any rom but when the phone was in fastboot mode and connected to the software I clicked "Edit Phone Information":

After I clicked Edit Phone Information I got no significant results from the software and now the phone is turned off and unresponsive, screen is off and the phone just vibrates once every 20 seconds then after some minutes it stops.

The phone can't:

- be turned on

- be turned on in boot menu, factory reset and fastboot

- be connected to pc (it keeps connecting and disconnecting very quickly)

I kindly ask you, do know of any solution for this problem?

Thank you very much
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 1960darrenh:
Hi.

I bought an android head unit for the car but the built in Wifi is 99% useless. It does not pick up any routers in my area including mine which is 10ft away! If I use my phone as a hotspot, the phone has to be within 30cm of the head unit to pick it up, and the download speed is terrible. I have a spare USB socket on the radio so can I connect a wireless USB adapter to it and if so, how do I install the driver?

Many thanks in advance.

nope never seen this but check the internal wireless antenna.... open the radio and make sure its connected.... sometimes Chinese forget stuff
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] houston_:
Hey there,

today I started flashing my mi9tpro.

First I tried xiaomi.eu, but still wasn't happy about the security/junkcleaner integration ...

So I moved on to paranoid quartz 4 for the start. Runs nice and smooth, could settle here.

But I wanted to give ressurection, crdroid, havoc a try too.

Now there is a conflict between the statement of xiaomi.eu:

And e.g. crdroid:

Sure, I am coming from a non-AOSP rom, so this is a step I need to do for trying the other roms based on AOSP.

BUT:

If I want to return to Miui, Xiaomi.eu or Paranoid ... will there be troubles about flashing?

Do I need to flash anything, so /system is returned to stock?

I made a full backup booting twrp before flashing anything (even twrp), so if I need a original /system, I should be able to restore this image.

Greetings
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Fatal_Scythe:
No need to format /System, as it afaik can result in an instant-bootloop to Fastboot, which may then cause you to reflash the whole MIUI Fastboot ROM.

When coming from MIUI to AOSP ROMs, formatting /Data (aka the "Format Data" Option where you have to type "yes") should be enough.

Same process goes when going back to MIUI from AOSP.

Hope it helped! :)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
The system partition is home to the OS. Every time you flash a ROM, you replace the system partition. If you want to return to stock, flashing MIUI will restore the stock system partition.

In reality there is no need to wipe the system partition, because flashing a ROM will wipe it automatically anyway, before installing the new ROM.

When flashing new ROMs, doing a factory reset is all that's needed. You should rarely need to enter advanced wipe menu in TWRP.

The only extra step required is when flashing over MIUI (official or custom version). In this case you will also need to format data too.

Follow my guide for flashing

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] evenshop:
Hello, I have a SM-N9860 with TGY CSC. I was able to get carrier_policy files with QPST. Can anyone help me modify them so that 5G is enabled in any country that use N78 Band (in my case Switzerland). You'll find both files attached.

Or : if someone with a BRI SM-N9860 could share his Policyman folder that would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] tribalfs:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Well it looks like that file already has band 78 enabled for sa and nsa 5g. So there might be an imei restriction you are running into.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] theholyguy:
And in your opinion this imei restriction is added by Samsung or the carriers in each country? Or an agreement of between both?

Is it possible to ask a carrier to allow an imei to connect to their 5g network?

Enviado do meu SM-G9650 através do Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Carriers. They need to whitelist your imei for 5g roaming if you are roaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] theholyguy:
I will buy snapdragon version but I read here in several topics is that in exynos regions even in your own country with your carrier sim you still not connecting to 5g with snapdragon note 20..

You think that carriers only have whitelisted exynos imei for they 5g network?

Strange is that with one plus it connects.

No need for root. I was able to get all the files from a S20 Ultra Snapdragon BRI (which connects to 5G here in Switzerland) and I replaced those of my Note 20 Ultra with them. Unfortunately I didn't change anything... I keep searching but I'm afraid that only flashing CSC could solve the issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] theholyguy:
Why s20 connects , and note 20 not? Is Samsung really scamming even more the costumers? One Plus is snapdragon and connects so is not SoC problem for sure.

That can confirm it is a scam, from Samsung, carriers or both.

Enviado do meu SM-G9650 através do Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jtOttawa:
And presumably for 5G access if you are not roaming (i.e., if we import an international phone)? Samsung has an issue with servicing international phones (they won't), but the carriers shouldn't have any issue providing service - that right?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jtOttawa:
I'm starting to feel the same way, and I've used Samsung phones ever since the original Galaxy S - even returned an iPhone 4 at the time to switch. What irritates me is how they have started taking their customers for granted, even with their top-tier phones - downgrading the memory capacity, eliminating the headphones (and not even offering a complementary set here in Canada). Samsung originally appealed to me as the underdog against Apple, who would take risks and truly innovate to attract customers - that role now seems to belong to others. And quite frankly, from what I've seen of the OnePlus Pro 8, it wouldn't be much of a lowering of standards to switch...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] theholyguy:
of course is lowering a bit the standards... you get worst gorilla glass, a slightly worst amoled and the photos still not at the same level, but is not that much viewing the price difference and all the bull**** samsung is doing...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
This information is incorrect. Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra takes as good pictures if not better and so does Oppo Find X2 Pro. My only reason to go for Samsung is US bands and mmWave bands. If I was elsewhere like some places in Europe or India would have definitely gotten a Find X2 Pro. (Dont trust Xiaomi much with ads etc). Look at that beauty Find X2 Pro with Vegan Leather.

[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] Dabodar:
Hey Team,

For two weeks I was the proud owner of this phone model - Realme X50 Pro (RMX2075) - European version 12x256.

I woke up this morning (12 Sep 2020) and saw that the phone was turned off.

Before that, before going to bed, he worked and the battery was 100% charged.

At the moment, I cannot enable it by any combination.

Press and hold both Power and Volume Up buttons

Press and hold both Power and Volume Down buttons

Press and hold the Power button only.

The only back screen even during the charging. Just nothing.

Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Please advise what to do.

Thanks.
[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] bictu:
Never had this issue. Does your phone automatically update overnight? If so it might have tried to update and something disrupted it. Either way, I'd certainly contact realme as it doesn't look hopeful. Sometimes, phones like to switch off when there's too much or too little percent. Like when you run flat a phone it does that. Maybe leave it a day and see if there's still a persisting error.
[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] Dabodar:
Yeap. The phone does auto-update during the night.

I also think there was a problem during the upgrade or something on the hardware side.

I will contact the service. There will be news, I'll let you know. Perhaps someone in the future will face the same.
[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] bictu:
I keep auto-update turned off, it takes 5 mins to upgrade so I prefer to be able to upgrade in a controlled environment.

Hopefully realme will sort you out. Doubt it's a widespread issue and it's probably just that one off.

[Touch CDMA General] ethutch:
This was user error. But since I saw other people have had the same problem I decided to admit it and maybe this post will help them out.

Problem: Anytime I changed the mapping of the application buttons in Touch Flo I'd then get an error when I tried to use the remapped button. The error stated:

"The file XXXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."

Where XXXX is whatever I had set the button to be.

The problem turns out to be that in Cube Config I had used the drop down box "Shortcut Path" and just picked the application I wanted. This, for me at least, does NOT work. I had to use the "Browse..." choice and then navigate to the actual executable file.

For example:

I COULD NOT choose "Audio Manager" from the "Shortcut Path" drop down box.

However I COULD choose "Browse..." Then navigate to:

"\Storage Card\Program Files\HTC Audio Manager"

And finally select: "AudioManager.exe"

It is NOT significant that the example I'm posting was on the Storage Card. I had the same problem with programs installed in internal memory.

Hopefully this will help others out.

From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe

It allows Registry to be edited from PC.

Run it with working Activesync connection

2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html

Also run with working Activesync connection

3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.

("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")

("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")

("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")

("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")

("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")

It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
