[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Warnahly:
Hey there,

I've owned the Note 10+ (Exynos) since release and i haven't rooted it once. I remember the last phone is the note 8 and i did root it, but i remember when i wanted to return to stock to sell that phone i ran into some trouble.

For example the Samsung Pass, Samsung Health Apps etc... don't work anymore after your root your phone, is this still a thing ? Because i'm considering rooting the note 10+ now and i need to know if i can successfully get everything back the way it was before rooting ?

Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NullCode:
hello. yes rooting is a bit of a problem nowadays. Samsung REALLY does not want you to root their Androids for whatever reason. Here are the disadvantages:

1) When you power up the device, a FILTHY boot-up screen pops up and takes 8 seconds and a button press to fully boot the device [see the full details and EXYNOS ONLY bypass here: Boot Pop up remove

2) The KNOX counter [hardware fuse] trips and goes 0x1 [Some devices get OTA updates after locking the bootloader and flashing full ODIN stock, but didn't happen for me. Also it voids the warranty]

3) All the KNOX secured apps [Secure Folder, Samsung Health, Pay etc.] will NOT work [there are bypasses for Samsung Health, Samsung Music and Secure Folder but say goodbye to Samsung Pay]

4) Samsung will refuse to repair your phone and you have to look at 3rd Party options to repair if anything goes wrong. [no bypass to that]

5) Once you unlock the bootloader, you can never lock it again [ idk much about this one, some people say you can lock it again. Gotta look it up ]

Also rooting with TWRP in of itself is a gigantic hassle nowadays [I really miss the days when we could just flash TWRP with ODIN and call it a day].
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Warnahly:
I mean as far as the boot up issue its fixed so that's fine, in terms of the counter, even if i restored the stock rom and removed root i won't ever get OTA updates ?

Ahhh i seriously hate samsung now ! let me mess up my phone the way i want
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Well, that is the price to pay to really ensure a safe device, specially when using banking apps, and corporative enviroments, knox is really good in this regard, the e-fuse is a total warranty for knowing if a device is compromised at deep levels, so, that is how things are these days…
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
The e-fuse status (0x1) on the bootloader screen can be spoofed to look like it hasn't. Just checking the bootloader before purchasing a 2nd hand device is no longer a guarantee that you have a "secure" device...

This means that if you do get a device that looks secure you might actually get a few nasty surprises when certain apps just won't work or if you try to flash OTA updates yourself through ODIN...

Buyer beware...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NullCode:
yup. even after you full flash stock, it's still gonna be 0x1 and no more OTA updates. But you still can do firmware updates with ODIN (remember it wipes everything including the Internal Storage). Tons of guides on Google, find one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Rainbow_Dash:
Just a tiny correction to this thread: it's not true that you can "never" get ota updates ever again. If you flash stock again, you will receive OTAs.

Source: my previously rooted note10+.

As for samsung pay, my country doesn't support it, so no loss there, s-health you get working with a build.prop line, and secure folder is more or less a gimmick for me. As for getting your phone warrantied, i had my friend get his rooted s6e+ replaced for dead camera pixels with no issues. And from what i read european countries have laws separating hardware warranties from software. But i could be wrong on this.

With that being said, unless you have a specialised application for it, rooting isn't worth it anymore imo. It was back when touchwiz was a bloated pos and flashing cyanogenmod gave you a really noticeable advantage, but samsung caught up software wise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dia_naji:
Rooting and installing a custom rom takes me back to good old htc hd2 days.... I've rooted all my phones up to the original pixel. After further looking into rooting and how it can affect security I decided to opt out of rooting for the next 4-5 years. I feel like back then, the OS weren't this customizable as todays phones are. I do miss Xposed Frameworks though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
As some posters above say, unless you want very, very badly some app that requires root, it is not worth the hassle and the security issues, I really loved Viper sound, which requires root, but, I decided not to root since the note 7, now samsung one UI gives a very good customization, I do apreciate Knox, and some banking and streaming apps refuse to work on rooted devices, so, I said bye to viper…
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] heldc:
Not being rooted, I really miss titanium backup. Every time I get a new phone I end up losing progress or data in some app or other, usually a game. There was one game I had spent a decent bit of money on, years ago now, on my note 4, and it didn't transfer properly to my note 7, and I lost all my progress and the money I had spent on it.

I really feel like consumer protection laws should mandate that the manufacturers can't make rooting impossible like they do. I don't care about losing knox or Samsung apps, heck, part of why I root is to get that crap I don't use off my phone! I miss lineageos. Samsung's android customization isn't to my taste.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
I agree with you about root, somebody buys a phone, therefore that person should be able to do anything to it, but, for other part, if rooting is all that important for you, you might very well cosidered getting a rootable device, I rooted my devices in the past, begining with a S3, these days I just miss Viper, but, considering how samsung has progressed with itd UI, I no longer think about root, furthermore, I use a number of apps that do not work when root is detected, so, in the end every one has to think carefully what really needs before getting a device
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackspy_:
the only thing i miss on stock, are proper backups as in TWRP or in Titanium Backup, as a lot of things are not restorable with SmartSwitch. also i miss the possibility to completely uninstall bloatware like facebook or netflix and others. i see no reason, why these are part of the OS. CCSWE is quite a big help in that matter, though. for OTA, you can have them, when you re-lock the bootloader and odin stock on the device (at least on the S10+)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NullCode:
as for backup I think I heard about a software called helium, which backs up apps w/o root. Also you can disable/remove bloatware using a PC and ADB w/o root. Here you go: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

thanks a lot for correcting me. Even after I flashed full stock on my Tab S3, it would not detect OTA updates and some updates totally soft-bricked it. Editing my post for correction

Good day,

I have a s10 with cracked screen and i found a guy from my city selling a s10 live demo unit with perfect screen.

My question is, can i just swap motherboards and make 1 working phone out of the two?

The live demo unit has SIM/EMAIL disabled, so i just think to put my motherboard inside that chassis.

I need to be sure it will works before buy (it's costly)

Thank you.

Yes ,you can. It is exactly the same hardware minus network support on the Demo Live unit.

TWRP works exactly the same with the CN 20.10.15 as it does with all the CN A11 betas.

Fastboot boot twrp, do not flash it ! It really isn't difficult!

if you want to update the betas then you need to change the update-binary in the zip file from an A10 build.

[Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers] antrea:
Hello

My wife has this smartphone that never excited me very much (it has several apps that are just bloatware to me).

A couple of months ago I did a factory reset because it was going very slow... the situation is back almost like before: slow, a lot of lag, apps freezing... if you have to make an emergency call you can't do it.

What could I do?

Is a factory reset comparable to a nice fresh and clean rom flash?

What do you suggest me to do?

thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers] benollo:
Fresh new answer, few days ago I unlocked this phone and installed LineageOS 17 (with goodies such as Android 10 and October patches)... it got 2x faster, something AWESOME, like a 2020 smartphone.

Plus, MIUI has become really trash (bloatwares, laggy animations, annoying notifications and app, ads...) so according to many people (and me obv) moving to something more clean is appreciated... In my opinion Lineage is a bit too stock-like and with some lacks (especially compared to MIUI lol), but you can try more ROMs.

So... You should consider to mod it!

edit: factory reset is kinda useless, I've done it many times and after 2 days it was just like before... just blame MIUI for this.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers] antrea:
you are absolutely right!

I will try to unlock/flash lineage os... I would like a simple and clean rom without bloatware!

thanks again

Who knows?

From what I've heard you can't find original amoled screens anymore, only LCDs and probably only second or third grade by this time.

I used a Xiaomi Mi 20W Wireless Charging Stand to charge the Samsung Z Fold 2. Unfortunately, when the phone was open, the phone fell off the cordless stand while charging. Therefore I designed an extension for the Charging Stand, that stabilizes the opened Fold 2. With strong 3M double-sided adhesive, we can secure that 3d printed extra bracket.

I would like to go back to MIUI 11. I have read that there are ARB protections (https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/).

So, I want to flash a ROM Fastboot MIUI v11.0.4 with XiaomiFlash. My Anti rollback var is 1, and what is inside the flash_all.bat is this:

if exist %~dp0images\anti_version.txt (for /f "delims==" %%a in (%~dp0images\anti_version.txt) do (set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=%%a))
if [%CURRENT_ANTI_VER%] EQU [] set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('fastboot %* getvar anti 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%%i)
if [%version%] EQU [] set version=0

So there isn't a clear indication about the CURRENT_ANTI_VER, how can I flash it? Its safe?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Electrolite_XYZ:
Hey people, I had issues with my V20 (H990DS) so I'm back to zero (LGUP to stock Nougat and soon going to root).

Since I'm starting over I'm considering which rom should I use, I'm leaning towards stock based roms to keep features like the HD Recorder and the high-impedance mode of my DAC (most important feature for me).

On the stock side I know that the Nougat Super rom is very good, are there other suggestions? I was using the stock Oreo roms before formatting, is it worth it to jump into the Oreo stock again or is the performance in the Super rom better?

For custom roms I know Lineage only, unfortunately you lose some features from the phone, like the high-impedance mode, but the development is steady and you get updates for the future.

I read that the 17.1 is still having issues but I read that they plan to fix them and maybe release a 18 version, maybe the 15.1 or 16 are more stable and worth using until that happens?

I'm open for suggestion, I'd like to know your opinions on good roms for the V20.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Reporting Bugs

DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

This is amazing!

Been running it for the past hour.

Installed core gapps with it.

Everything working fine!

Besides the fact that 5Ghz Networks are not found. After reboot they appeared.

Screen was a bit choppy at first, but after installing all my apps and letting it run for a few minutes it is buttery smooth

Gcam is working perfectly aswell.

Thanks alot for this rom!

The screen is little weird, i mean colors are weird. It's fixed after turning the screen off and on. But there is the same problem like LOS 17.1 with battery, the idle drain is bad above 1% per hour. You can try ask other devs for example from RR rom. He had fix it, before it was same bad idle as LOS 18 and 17.1.

Without this battery issue the rom is snappy and fast. No major issues so far.

Hi all, what do you think is 7 Pro 5G worst model due to NO support from custom roms? I can not find even one custom work to support this phone, and to be honest I would like to replace it asap for anything with AOSP support ;/

Why not debloat?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Joloxx9:
Got it debloated but how can you compare it to custom Rom and kernel?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike_77:
Why would you state a phone is the worst model ever strictly based on a lack of custom ROMs? The availability of ROMs has nothing to do with the capability the phone model has. If you want custom ROMs, you could always do the work to make them. If you don't have the knowledge, there are plenty of devs that have provided help to many on this forum, and I'm sure that you could get help if you're willing to spend the time and put in the effort.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Joloxx9:
As oneplus phones are great for custom firmware and I always buy them because of it. In this case 5G model is just a piece of rubbish as there is literally NO support from devs. You say do it on my own? Yeah I would like to have few hours of spare time every day to play with it, but as I do not have that time I have to sell the phone and buy something "normal".

I understand your concern but if you look in the correct place TG you will find it. ??
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schn1tt3r:
What do you mean not compatible? Because bootloader locked? Or is the hardware different? I managed to unlock bootloader, but have not yet tried to flash a ROM. Are you saying a regular ROM will not work for the OP7 Pro just because it's the 5G version? (I don't need 5G anyway if that's the only problem with 5G OP7).
