[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] abialic:
Hello.

My Galaxy A51 (SM-A515F, A515FXXU4CTJ1) is going always to bootloop after flash any GSI.

Only solution is to flash Magisk zip via TWRP. Magisk must be v.21, earlier versions (eg. stable 20.4) not solve problem.

I want to try GSI with stock boot.img but it's not possible, I MUST flash Magisk otherwise i have bootloop.

Is there any solution or workaround for this?

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Yillié:
I am not 100 percent sure but 99 percent of the issues where magisk has to be flashed to boot something is because dm verity is enabled by default on all phone's stock boot images. One of the solutions could be to flash dm verity disabler zip and that should fix the problem. Moreover if you are unsure about anything else you can contact me on telegram: ( t.me/Yilliee )
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] abialic:
Success!

Success!

I flashed dm verity disabler (https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip) and I can boot system with stock boot.img

Thank you very much! :highfive:

I have also one (actually two) more problem that causes not to use GSI. I mentioned it here on xda-forum:

I'm unable to set any screen lock on any GSI.

I can set screen lock and verything is ok till I made first reboot. After reboot when I type correct PIN (or pattern or password) I have following message:

"You have incorrectly typed your PIN 1 times.

Try again in 86400 seconds"

1. I have no idea what is causing this problem (I'm not a developer) but this make no scense to use phone.

2. I tested few GSI's and none have fingerprint working. Have you working fingerprint on your A51?

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Yillié:
I have no idea about the lockscreen bug but I saw one other guy mentioning it and you're not the only one. Moreover, for the fingerprint Bliss GSI by eternity son has working fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] adeptustech:
Do you have a link to bliss GSI?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] seenahermes:
What instructions did you follow to get the GSI rom installed ? I managed to make a super.img.lz4 and use odin but got a bootloop, without twrp
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] kusti420:
i have exact opposite problem, can only boot with stock boot.img

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] SmileBigNow:
Quick question, is there a hidden menu on the 8T where you could see to which network/band your phone is currently connected too (Like samsung devices have) or there is no way?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11043203:
*#*#866#*#*

^ this works if engineer_config is changed to:

encrypt_app=false

encrypt_adb=false

Locate in root shell with modded recovery. Adb pull. Copy to SD card, then pc, modify--> /Mnt/vendor/persist/engineermode/engineermode_config --change bools to false, adb shell, go to directory, rm -rf config file that is there, push your modified one there, reboot then try 866

Or the generic version with less functionality *#*#4636#*#*

With great power comes great risk of wrecking it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] czarb0ris:
Hi,

As per title. Latest OTA is available but it won't flash because I have custom recovery (twrp). How do I go about flashing latest OTA without re-locking bootloader etc.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] _MartyMan_:
Hi.

Select the ROM version you need below, make sure your version is the same as your device is came with. The "Recovery" types are all TWRP flashable.

Thanks! Will this keep existing data or is it a full wipe?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] _MartyMan_:
I always wipe everything when doing an update so i'm not sure sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] forux:
After trying ALL manual and futher investigation I found that on SM-R830 there are already installed tpk with id com.samsung.health.samd.bp, and it is system one.

It is not possible to remove it without root. And it prevents from install blood presure app and samsung health monitor. Both have the same id [com.samsung.health.samd.bp].

So there are two possible ways to fix that:

1. Change firmware to remove them (both ecg and bp apps present in CSC file with the same id com.samsung.health.samd.bp (probably it is bug)

2. Somehow get root and remove app from watch

Any idea how to do that? Did any one have expirience to change firmware?

P.S. also I see that there are no such apps on older firmwares, will try on them to solve the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
I have only Root for CTI4 Firmware Version both:

SM-R820

AND

SM-R830

CTJ5 not leaked yet... so harder to modify rootfs.img...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbridges30:
I wanted to revisit this discussion that has crept into a couple of other threads.

I have a Diamond I bought from Hong Kong back in mid-June. I'm in Canada and using the phone on Rogers' network. I'm afraid I don't remember the shipped ROM and radio, but it was one of the early ones.

In spite of other threads that say Diamonds out of Europe and Asia can't use Rogers 3G network, I was definitely able to access it. The download speeds were very fast (I downloaded a 40 MB podcast file in a matter of seconds) and the HSDPA "H" showed regularly (sometimes switching to EDGE in poor reception areas).

I decided to change the ROM a couple of days ago and have tried a number of different ones (Dutty 1.6, HK WWE 1.93.831.1, Elite 3.0) and tried some different radios (v1.00.25.07 and v1.00.25.05) but was never successful in getting HSDPA back and now I can only get EDGE.

I have searched the whole site for useful input on this subject but have yet to see anyone who has had HSDPA on Rogers like me. Was I just lucky or is there no way I could have been getting 3G? Can I get back to the early ROM and radio to see if it would work again (in spite of the slower performance)?

Help would be appreciated.

Which phone model do you have? You can find it under battery, should look like DIAMXXX

It is the DIAM100

What kind of hardware of you using? Diamond 130?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
I just cant see HTC wasting the money to have 2 different sets of hardware for European and american bands. That would be 2 different assembly lines, sets of workers, etc. But I am getting serioulsy frustrated trying to find out if I can download a Radio that will work with at&t 3g......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gatordent:
I just spoke to an Expansys rep and he said they will be receiving a NA version in 3 weeks, I asked if this was going to be a different hardware version he seemed very sure it was
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
I still am very skeptical..... for a launch this big, on top of that, at&t is getting the touch pro, and when it comes to htc products, at&t will only sell quadband pocket pc's. I really still doubt this will be different hardware. Especially if the person who posted this already had 3g on their EU diamond until they flashed a different rom.

EDIT* also, it could be he wanted to make a sale when they got them in, rather than you buy a European one now. Just one salespersons point of view. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
Here is a link, let me know what you find. These are A BUNCH of the old roms. Let me know which one lets you have the 3g band ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vt2000:
I have the same DIAM100, it originally came with 1.93 and I did not even have GSM850 until I flashed latest official ROM with 850Mhz support. But I'm in US and AT&T uses 850Mhz for WCDMA bands here.

I really hope you are right and DIAM100 can pick up 3G bands in NA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] morgan1130:
Sorry to interrupt, but what package you have with Rogers and $? I have the same phone and carrier, but I heard the data package here is a ripoff...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jentech:
Yes, it's a huge ripoff but I was on Rogers site this morning...and I see that they have a promotional package on until Aug. 31. $30 for 6GB...added to your current voice plan. That's not too bad...their current pricing for 5GB is $100/mo.

...probably for the IPh**e launch...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blazer2004:
Unl. internet for at&t in US, 15 dollars. They dont know I have a PDA ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbridges30:
Blazer, thanks for this link. I spent a while trying out old ROMs but without success. I don't ever remember seeing "3G" but I did get an "H" (I'm not too sure what that means though). I have read through other posts and see that people are successfully getting voice on the 850 band and hoping for UMTS to follow on future radio versions.

I'm using the Rogers $30 for 6GB package and do quite a bit of surfing now and will probably do more audio streaming. I figured that since you have to pay something like $25 for 2 MB, $30 for 6GB is a relatively good deal.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] byt3b0mb:
at first read, my guess is that you have an issue with a/b partitions being out of sync. you should read up on a/b partitions. 2nd. i would recommend that you download the appropriate software images from google directly for your device and reflash them and then wipe everything and then flash again.

not sure what else to recommend without significantly more information.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] pj1980:
I flashed the newest stock android 10 reteu software on my phone being it has less bugs than the retus version that came with my phone. I am trying to relock my bootloader so that integrity compromised message goes away at startup and so that I can get otas but I can't. Adb won't relock the bootloader with the normal commands, I can't figure out what to do. I would appreciate any help thank you.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Unfortunately if you switch software channels you'll still get a warning if you lock the bootloader.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] pj1980:
Thing is, I had no issue relocking the bootloader and having the message go away up until mid December, I don't understand.

Is there a startup animation file somewhere that I could get so the message would be hidden? I want to sell my phone on dcluttr and I can't send it with the unlocked bootloader message on startup.

Hi, does anyone ever noticed similar problem? I can not even get 1 day of battery life in smart mode. In ultra mode watch loses cca 10% in three days. I suppose this is normal. Even with airplane mode on battery drain is still huge. Please help.

Can anyone help with this issue? It was not solved with Amazfit support, so I guess there is no other option for me than replacing the watch.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Why is allmost every rom on this forum dumplocked?

Do people have something to hide, or is it something else?

Is it mayb that people don't want to share things anymore(the main part where xda thrives on)?

Do the chefs who learned from copying and examining others work have some kind of arrogance, somekind of thought that noone may copy their work?

I personally find this a crappy way of work here on xda.

Any other thoughts on this?

Gr. Bram
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
Try with my ROMs, nothing is locked. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
This is thin ice you stepped on!

I am a retired Chef myself. I always protected my ROMs from being dumped. The main reason is that packages and tweaks mainly added through the rgus are the result of many many hours of research, countless flashes, testing and work.

Packages are all over the place, so are the cabs.

The majority of tweaks can be found anywhere.

But it's just unfair when a Chef collects everthing he needs for his kitchen throughout time and someone who is just beginning to cook dumps it, replaces a few packages and voila, a new ROM from a new Chef, as good as the old dumped ROM.

It's not about hiding, it's about somehow protecting endless hours of work that just don't pay back.

I know my ROMs were intended for my own use, but somehow decided to share them, I believe most Chefs around here pretty much do the same with their work, so it is a huge favor this sharing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
I also find it very strange.... the only reasoning I can think is people don´t want their working copied but hey I completely agree with you it´s a very strange way to work as, certainly for me, this forum has always been about sharing. Sharing knowledge, information, ideas, ROMs, creativity and most of all a passion for these devices... it´s a real shame.

Thankfully though, in my experience, most the experienced chefs here are very willing to help out to us aspiring new chefs with pointers and files we need to build a decent kitchen.

I cook for myself really but ended up releasing a few of my ROMs when I have a bit more time to support them but I must admit I´m not bothered about people re-cooking them if they want. I´m just happy that the peolpe here get the most out of their Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Allright i can live with that, BUT, what are we doing right here?

Microsoft and HTC engineers also spend many hours on their precious work, pushing the limits of WM. If we all must respect hard work, then we should not dump roms of those guys either.

I feel strongly that this is an open community an that requires that everything is open, i've cooked many roms but never thought about protecting it.

I'ts MY hobby, and if i want to implement(find) tweaks and enhancements it's for MY satisfaction. I dont care if someone from here dumps my rom and steals all of MY found tweaks.

Let him learn about rom cooking by inspecting my rom, i dont give a ****, in this way the community gets stronger.

And by the way, if the chefs have nothing to hide and share their tweaks on the forum, why not open their roms?

Gr. bram

I'm not flaming that chefs, but i'm posting out my opinion about this.

I can totally get into the thought of those guys.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
Sharing is one, stealilng and taking credit for someone else's work is another thing. And look at this beyond the Forum. Do you have any idea how many places host, discuss, etc. the ROMs made here? I don't want to get into details, but this is how it works. ROMs published are downloaded and posted on some other forums, where some other cooks try to do something with them. When they manage, they've got themselves a new ROM with upgoing rep and paypal ballance! You should really look into this. I know my ROMs were subject to such on some other forums.

But if this is still not enough for you, there is always an option to start learning how to cook, dump an Official ROM, port it (if it's the case), make a baserom, collect all your packages, collect and edit all your registries, skin till you drop, test for a week or so, build and release without protection.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
Yes, maybe because dumping and cooking is grey field towards illegal. There's a really thin line between legal and illegal, but that's some other stuff I don't want to get into.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
I have spent days, weeks and perhaps months (to scared to add it up!!) reading and learning how to cook so I can see your point. In fact I have also been through this very experience here where somebody has posted my work on another forum and yes it was annoying but I think what Bram was trying to point out that as time goes by things are becoming more and more "closed". Perhaps due to the number of users now?? I´m not sure but it´s a debate that will always be here :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
It's not user quantity, it's user quality. You can never stop a user to register and you can never check his/her intentions when joining. Private Messaging always works and I don't think anyone contacted for help ever refused on this Forum (I'm referring to Chefs). I've been helped by stranger fellow XDA Chefs and I helped stranger Chefs myself. But won't go for putting everything on a silver tray to some second hand B forum Chef.

As for XDA DEVELOPERS, here's a hint of what it is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
This experience is very nasty, but you cant entirely stop it. Someone flash your rom, the dump it the "device way", he has an exact copy of it.

Thats in a way true how i feel, i have a feeling lately that this forum is becoming closed, everyone keeping stuff for their selves. Wich in a way i can understand that(all the hard work etc.) but then the "openness" of this forum is slightly dripping away.

In my time in the wizard forums there was no such thing, every cook tried to help the other out. If a tweak(or something else new) was found, they posted it right away. Or cooked it into rom, and encoraged others to take it from them.

Lately in the diamond furoms i have the feeling some people don't want to share anymore, just the credit of a great rom.

Wich they have to know and do theirselves, but i'm against such a way of work here.

I was't talking about illegal stuff here(becouse all we do is illegal) but about the morale to steal from someone.

I totally understand that, but i feel strongly against it(my opinion)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
Great post by kyphur.... and I agree. As I posted above I have been helped by many great chefs here since I start with my Hermes, then with my Kaiser and Polaris and now here on Diamond and most of it has been done by PM. As for giving everything on a silver tray... well I think it´s a personal choice and I personally don´t think to much about it when I have posted my ROMs but hey maybe I have a different take on things :o

All I know is I am personally very very gratefull to many people who contribute to this forum and I have mentioned most of them in the past when posting my ROMs but as I said before this debate will always run.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] l3v5y:
Chefs do it mainly to protect there investment in time. They have no reason to give you the ROMs, so why should you complain when they do things?

I personally do not do anything to protect my ROM, other than grouping files under one dsm to save space - the overheads for DSM files are quite big - rather than to stop people dumping the ROMs.

Why should we as chefs give you anything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bram_smulders:
I dont say they haven got the right close roms, I just dont feel like that, and wanted to know if there are some others who think the same.

For me this is an open forum so all what i do is open, if other decide otherwise, let that be, i dont mind.

My point is that i feel that the forum is getting more to a closed forum rather that coming together, and just wanted to know if i was the only one.

Mayb is misformed my statement in the first post.

If this thread is non constructive, please close and/or delete it.

gr. bram

ps. i dont intend to flame anyone, i respect everyones work & decisions!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
Protection of investment of time is a good reason.

Another good reason to protect ROMs is:

Stop the wild-groth of ROM-releases.

Every wanabee chef nowadays uses a simple kitchen, trows in a already cooked ROM.

Changes a few packages and a splashscreen, and trows it on the forum as something new.

I don't call that cooking, that is trowing something into the microwave (after putting ketchup on it)!

Also removing all RGU's and replacing DSM files by a single one does improve the device!.

Your personal tweaks aren't directly visible (like it would in a rgu).

Your own privatly build packages are more difficult to steal/recycle by a third party.

Also Nofi,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
Fully Agree also some roms are targets for other people who waits to steal your work and also cover it and and re-build it up its thiers.

I do protect my roms for more than one reasons which I cant say, but time is also one big factor to do with it.

bram totally respect u as a chef, but things have change so much now since XDA have expanded in worldwide website and also other forums lark on this site to steal other works
