[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] danielerispoli:
I tried to change default usb configuration in developer mode but not solved. Tried all options.

The Sonata HD has an integrate Hi-Res DAC.

In addition, after about 70 connect/disconnect attempts, my s20 detects the DAC, works for 1-2 min and then stop working. After that, the phone has not detected the DAC anymore.

The strange thing is that if I connect the DAC via an OTG adapter, all works good without any issues.

I tried "USB Host Diagnostics" App, but no device is detected.

Furthermore I enabled USB debug to view the logcat via ADB. When I connect the device on USB-C port I can see a "BATTERY CHANGED" event on the USBProvider module, but android not detects any device connected on USB-C port.

If I connect the same DAC on a s10 (with same android and EMUI version of my S20) or on a s8, device is detected and works, so I think that isn't a defective device. It seems that Android not activate USB OTG mode when device is connected on the USB-C port.

[MENTION=4060182]serafko[/MENTION] has my same phone and the same device (with the same firmware version) and he has no problems. This makes me think that more than a compatibility problem with the S20 is some Android setting that causes the problem.

Settings>sound and vibrations>advanced sound settings>sound quality and effects

Is the UHQ upscaler enabled when you connect the device?

Could power management be killing the apk(s) needed?

Power management (other than the power setting, Optimize is best) causes nothing but trouble.

Developer options>stand by apps, all app buckets should show as active, if not power management is active and probably running amuck, as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] danielerispoli:
The UHQ upscaler is disabled (greyed out) with both the connected and unconnected device.

In the Stand by apps I have some apps greyed out with different states (RARE, FREQUENT ,EXEMPTED, etc).

Do you think this could be the problem?

In this case how can I solve?

I have currently enabled "Optimize" in power management.

Thank you so much for your help!

EDIT: I just disabled the "Risparmio energia applicazione" (I think Energy saving app in english) and now all the apps in the Developer options -> stand by apps are in the "ACTIVE" state....same issue! Device not detected and UHQ upscaler greyed out.

EDIT2: Also tried to enable the developer option "Disable automatic audio routing": same issue!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
I think this is doable but you're going to have to play with it. Contact the manufacturer if all else fails.

I found this:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] danielerispoli:
I contacted technical support but they replied after 4 days with a classic standard email.

Also I tried to flash all 3 firmware (now the device is with "D - Pure Music" firmware, the same as the other user.

Finally I did all the tests both with the app they recommend (HybyMusic) and with USB Audio Player PRO, setting the BitPerfect option and exclusive access to the USB port. This way the app bypasses the android usb stack and uses an optimized driver.

I also tried to clear the data and cache of the system application "Usb settings", but despite all these attempts I could not solve it in any way.

At this point, considering that the manufacturer's assistance is practically non-existent, I believe that I will return the product directly through Amazon.

I am very sorry because the DAC quality of this device is amazing and I do not know if I should order another one as I honestly have not yet understood if it is a defective product or compatibility problem.

Anyway thanks again for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
As soon as I plug in the Samsung dongle it recognize it and the UHQ upscaler options are available.

Poweramp shows the Samsung 3.5mm adapter with 24bit 48khz sampling rate being outputted.

For whatever reason the phone isn't recognizing the device.

I don't know what the communication protocol is for the linkup. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] danielerispoli:
I have the Samsung dongle too and works like a charm with all apps (Spotify, PowerAmp, etc).

I'm considering to buy an bluetooth DAC like the Fiio BTR5. It works both as Bluetooth or USB-C DAC, so I would be sure not to have compatibility problems.

Thanks again for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
You mean you want to transmit the audio in the bt realm with the BTR5?

Even using the LDAC or AptX-HD codec the resolution and quality will be inferior to the Samsung dongle DAC to 3.5mm audio output.

BT lacks the bandwidth to support 24 bit 96khz resolution.

If the device you're coupling by bt doesn't support AptX-HD it won't do anything the phone bt chipset can't do*.

I believe that phone support the Sony LDAC bt codec, unfortunately only Sony headphones use it.

If you want to use bt headphones with the best easily available HQ audio I go with Sony.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.soundguys.com/the-best-bluetooth-ldac-headphones-of-2020-29515/amp/

This is a more reasonably priced LDAC headphone set than the top shelf Sony WH-1000XM4. For almost $200 less it doesn't sound as good but pretty close. Compare all the features first if you decide to go this way.

Lol I have a 10 yo pair of Koss Porta Pros, the still work and sound damn good using the Samsung dongle. Not bad for the $29 I paid for them back then. There still around and a classic for good reasons.

I am sorry, that i missinform you. My Sonata firmware is not "audio priority", but is "pure audio (D)". When i plugin DAC into USB port, Poweramp start automaticaly.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] danielerispoli:
The Fiio BTR5 supports all Bt codecs, LDAC included. In Bt mode supports up to 96Khz 24bit but in USB mode supports up to 384khz with DSD256 native. The dongle has 2x ES9218P DAC by Sabre.

The Samsung dongle.

The samsung dongle actually has very high quality, in fact I was surprised, but it has a hard time driving my 150Ohm Shure headphones. No problem with my Bose QC20 instead.

Sorry, my mistake. The firmware I loaded is "SONATA _HD-D_Pure".
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] ultradj83:
Hi Guys.

Just tried the Sonata 2 on S10+ and I'll let a fried try on S20 soon.

This product looks like useless and malfunctioning.

Talking about S10, it integrates a great DAC, it's just heavily limited by software, I don't want to know why...

I rooted it and, modding the mixer_gains.xml, installing Viper4Android and using dynamic driver based headphones it's absolutely unbelievable.

Anyway, Google just improved SafetyNet, they'll soon close the door to any root solution, Magisk included, in a short time we'll have the most of apps refusing to run on rooted phones.

That's why I'm searching for a decent type-c DAC cable.

Coming to the Sonata 2, its volume is just acceptable, but bass frequencies are too weak.

Moreover, its connector is unstable, there's frequent disconnections

Also the game of the 3 firmwares is absurd.

I flashed the sound priority firmware, honestly this firmware increases sound quality a little bit, but it shockingly fails to manage the microphone: on outgoing and incoming calls microphone doesn't work at all.

Finally, reverting to call priority firmware, the microphone still doesn't work.

In my opinion this product looks like the usual chinese bull****, do you confirm?

I'm actually looking to something better, but it prefer it in the "cable" form, using it for work and sport a big device wouldn't be so comfortable...

Regards

If the custom ROM's of android v11 are similar to those of version 10, i'll pass. I tried 4 different custom 10 ROM's and even though they all worked very well (and had more features than stock), I went back to stock, simply because i was unable to get Android Auto working on any custom ROM.

And I paid good money for the AA option on my car, so I don't want to have that go to waste...

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] pepsimaxmjs:
I am a long time user of Xiaomi devices, and have rooted every one I have. I recently purchased the Redmi Note 9 for my girlfriend and intended to root and block ads etc. I am quite proficient with rooting processes and the tools needed to make that work.

I could find a working TWRP for the phone, and used ADB and Fastboot to program this. However, it seems the MTK Helio G85 is a bit more tricky than a Qualcomm based device. So I basically failed to get root working. In the end through a late night error I managed to delete the Boot.img of the device leading to the dreaded 'hard brick'. I have read on the Forum others who have the same symptoms - basically boot loop, no access to Recovery or to Fastboot. Bad luck my friends this is a Service Centre repair.

So I took to Googling on the issue and found a Russian who advertised a Service Centre repair service but over TeamViewer. This was advertised at US$29 for a fix. Why could he do it? Well he has the Service Centre auth codes needed to do a full recovery of the phone. So taking pot luck I sent my US$29 and they did exactly what they promised. Accessed my PC remotely worked with me to get the correct files set up, and then loaded up their authorised service build on my PC and re-programmed the bricked device. After a 2 hour re-charge (best to do this reset with no battery power) I performed the 3 button re-set and the phone came back to life. Never left my house, and the phone re-booted with a full build of MIUI.

I am not sure if the mods allow me to provide their details, so I in order to keep my XDA status OK I'll ask you to PM me if you need the details.

Saved my phone, and to be honest was worth the cash for the no hassle repair. I am not in a Service Centre area, and this quick reliable fix was great. Took a risk, but the provider is genuine and authorised repair agent. Their English was great, instructions clear, and all the hard work they do remotely on your PC. I scanned for viruses after the session - was all clean.

If you get in a fix, this is a good reliable and convenient solution.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ma259:
Maybe this is kind a ethical question. I don't consider its ok to pay someone to be able to flash your device, specially if you have to send money to some anonymous russian guy and hopping you are not getting scamed. Clearly its not a comfortable method and it shouldn`t be that way.

If I ever need that service I would use it just to record username and password with a keylogger and post it freely, its ridiculous to pay for flashing your phone.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] pepsimaxmjs:
Yes but...

If you actually hard brick your device (mine shipped from China direct) you have a lot of hassle to get it fixed. If you don't have a service centre nearby, double the hassle and significant costs / risks to ship overseas. Sat at home, someone with the skills and the important EDL keys (i.e. registered repairer with Xiaomi) could fix the device. Mine was an unlocked phone, therefore technically I had removed the warranty. $29 to flash a bricked device and fully recover from my ****-up. OK value for me.

Hello, could you show me how to do it?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
If you got bootloop after flashed magisk, you need to flash stock rom boot.img.

For removing modules, you have two methods.

For first method, you need to boot in

emergency mode

, open magisk manager, remove module and reboot.

(It works only with magisk +v21.)

(To boot in

emergency mode

, keep pressed volume down after boot starts.)

For second method, you need to flash the original stock boot.img, open magisk manager, remove module, reboot and then flash the magisk patched boot.img again.

If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.

Here, you can find boot images for original stock and magisk patched: https://xdaforums.com/t/img-stock-p...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/

If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom

lk

partition using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower

lk

partition version).

Here, are

LK

images for flashing: https://xdaforums.com/t/lk-img-stoc...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4218925/

This post describes how to patch magisk to a new firmware as long as no twrp recovery is available:

At first download the specific rom:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

You need only the "Link". Flash is only for flashing the rom over an chromium browser.

After downloaded the zip file open it, and you find another zip file. This zip file has to be extracted.

Into the extracted zip is the file boot.img, extract it.

Copy the boot.img to your p5 by usb.

Install the last magisk manager Canary version on your p5:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

Open magisk manager. In main menu click on install. In the new menu click on "select a file and patch it". Search for the copied boot.img on your p5 and select it.

Wait for flash completion. And check if it's successful.

Copy the file /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.img to your pc in the adb files directory.

If you on the step to flash the boot image, you have to use the new file name.

flashing img doesn't work

Hi,

I tried it exactly as written here:

In the opened command line Window enter the following command:

fastboot flash boot "magisk_patched Build 21005.img"

After it finished you can reboot your phone into android system and you will see the magisk manager logo.

Somehow flashing the img does not work for me.

Terminal output:

❯ fastboot flash boot "boot.img"

Sending 'boot_a' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 0.480s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.312s]

Finished. Total time: 1.152s

Even though the output on the terminal looks fine. At least it doesn't give me an error.

Tried installing magisk manually and flashing the img through the app, but that gave me an error:

!installation failed

-repacking boot image

!Unable to repack boot image

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz0Rfail:
I won't think so if we can use the p5 fingerprint to get valid safety net. Because we have to switch from basic authentication to hardware key. AFAIK if the hardware method is used, the hardware sensor can check if bootloader is unlocked and give the results to the safety net validator. And you will get automatically false cts profile if the hardware sensor detect that your bootloader is open.

This is a very interesting question about rooting and using custom roms in the future when no other device with newer android version use basic authentication.
