[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Karagea:
1. december 2020, version N985FXXS1ATK1

I updated the phone on 7. December around noon, and after the update the phone keeps rebooting.

After it boots up, it seriously laggs. It then shows the notification "finishing system update" which after it reaches around a fifth of the progress abr, the phone reboots.

But it is not a real reboot, it only shows the Samsung logo for a couple of seconds and jumps back to the home screen, lags again and the notification starts from the beginning.

The phone's uptime is aorund 15 seconds before it reboots. This was a standard OTA update, no bootloader stuff, no nothing.

I'm taking it tomorrow to store.

I've tried:

- reseting network data

- wiping cache from the boot menu

- booting into safe mode

No difference.

Has anyone else experienced this, or has any advice?

got the same update but no such issues. let them fix it in the store
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Dud motherboard if you have exhausted all software troubleshooting options. Had a sm-n985F with similar issues. Random reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Does not have to be motherboard issue.

updates through OTA can get corrupt/damaged so your update mostlikely got this so it reboots all time.

Try reinstalling your phone via smart switch app on pc or ODIN and see if problem remains.

If it stops then it was due to corrupt/damaged files in update via OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Hence why I mentioned if you have exhausted all software avenues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Karagea:
I took it to the store. They flashed it and now it works with the latest update. Like you said, it just got corrupt
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TonyApuzzo:
I have an unlocked Google Store Pixel 5 that I am using on Verizon.

I currently have the phone rooted with Magisk running October RD1A.200810.022.A4 .

When updating to the latest, should I pick the December All Carriers release or the November Verizon release?

I am thinking that I should flash December RQ1A.201205.011 rather than the Verizon version, but advice is appreciated.

(Apologies if this is already answered, I searched and read several pages of posts without a clear answer.)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Personally I'd flash the November Verizon update and wait until next week to flash the December one. I'm not sure what Verizon is doing but since it's only a week away why not wait.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thewraith420:
I'm using an unlocked on xfinity Mobile (Verizon mvno) I used the all carriers one. I'd only use the Verizon one for the Verizon model. Not sure but I'd definitely not want to end up with my bootloader permanently locked which as far as I know is the only difference with the Verizon variation of the phone
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TonyApuzzo:
Yeah, that's why I asked the question. I am wondering if there might be some mmWave related differences as well. On my OG Pixel XL, I had the Verizon version that was bootloader unlocked using one of the hacks. I switched around between both factory variants and never noticed any difference.

To be "safe" I did upgrade my Pixel 5 to the All Carriers December version yesterday. I'm getting Verizon Sub-6 5G, VoLTE, WiFi Calling and all that jazz. I don't have access to mmWave so no way to test that.

So far I am not having any problems that I could blame on the build.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dacapho:
Have you been able to confirm that WiFi Calling actually works through Verizon? This is the one option I couldn't ever get working on my past unlocked phones. Seems that Verizon always said that it MUST be the Verizon branded for that option to work.

Install the Android Studio on your laptop.

Connect your phone to your laptop with an USB cable.

Enable the 'Developer options' as well as the 'USB Debug' option on your phone.

Start your app project in Android Studio and run into debug mode.

Thx for the feedback.

In this case I would like to install an app on my phone from the play store. Play a game on the phone and see on my laptop where the score is stored. Idealy I can place a breakpoint on request. Is this possible with the android studio?

Are you going to debug an app without its source code project?
[General Questions and Answers] brokmaker:
Yes I would like to see the code of an app installed on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
First of all, you need to extract the .apk file for that app from your Android device. Then you will have to decompile source codes from the .apk file.

But as you know, maybe this is illegal because thus reverse engineering violates intellectual property protection. :(

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tersnaus:
I was having some issues with installing a factory update on my Pixel 2, and tried using fastboot to switch the boot slot to slot B. Now I'm unable to access the phone via USB cable because adb does not see my device. The phone isn't even recognised in Device Manager anymore and nothing I do seems to fix that, including different cables and different PCs.

In bootloader mode, I can see:

Boot-slot: b

Console: DISABLED

Secure Boot: yes (PRODUCTION)

Device State: unlocked

ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error

Any help would be appreciated. If I could just get Device Manager or adb to see my phone again, that would be a fix.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11324681:
Hook your device up to your PC and open adb/fastboot whilst in bootloader screen and then hold down the power button until the phone vibrates and check if your pc has recognised it. It may well take many attempts but I revived mine from a similar scenario doing the above. If you search the forum for slot unbootable you will find a thread for exactly this issue also.

Good luck
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tersnaus:
Thanks for the advice - I managed to fix the problem in just this way, although I needed to do it on a friend's machine that was running Linux. Windows was hopeless. I was quite sure at that moment that I was going to need a new phone.

Dear community members,

I need a piece of advice... I am, now for quite some time, an HTC TyTn [a.k.a Hermes] owner/user.

I am seriously considering buying an HTC Touch Pro [a.k.a Raphael]. But I need some advice…

I will try to ask my questions/concerns in an outline style… Please bare with me and try to help…

¤ Is Raphael’s

performance

superior or inferior to Hermes?

¤ How does the GPS behave? Is it

satisfactory

?

¤ Is the ROM development community becoming more active? Will it ever be like the Hermes one?

Thank you.

Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] WDawn:
As a Hermes user who has just upgraded to a Raphael, i can tell you this:

- Performance difference is huge. TF3D speed is acceptable out of the box, but with the tweaks offered here on the forum, very fast. But there are loads of other things that make the upgrade worth while: gps, much better sound quality playing music, FM radio, a superb VGA screen, more memory, better surfing experience, youtube client and much more...

- Haven't tested GPS yet

- That is one of the main reason why i upgraded to the Raphael instead of the SE Xperia, because a lot of the Hermes/Tilt cooks are coming over to this forum.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mrvanx:
With a little luck the Raph should be the daddy, will be receiving mine some time over the next week. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kevlar-Source:
Thank you for your prompt answer :)

My greatest curiosity was about the overall performance and GPS...

A shame you haven't tried your GPS yet...

Neverhteless, thank you so much.

Cheers and good luck with your new device :)

Yup! I will be getting mine [according to my plans and if no one decides to drop a piano over my head] on the 29th i.e 6 days form now :)

Can't wait... I look like a little kid waiting for christmas eve... LOL

Cheers and good luck for both of us and our brand new devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Bxsteez:
I've tried GPS and it finds satellites quickly way faster than my tytn II but not as fast as i would like. I used Garmin mobile xt and visualgpsce to test it.

I had the hermes and the tytn II and this is by far better than both in finger friendliness and in performance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mrvanx:
Remember getting a fix for the first session is generally the slowest time, with continued use Ive always noticed GPS fixes are quicker....this is using my Holux BT320 with my Hermes......the built in one in the Hermes naturally shows two satelites erroneously which is a shame :D

(yes i KNOW the GPS doesnt work in the Hermes but it gets a fix on 2 real quick hehehe).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] WatskeBart:
I use TomTom 7 on my Raphael and the first fix was a bit long, but also because i didn´t update my QuickGPS tool.

Second time use was much quicker. Great reception even in bad weather conditions.

I also used to be a Hermes user but the Raphael rocks big time, especially when you run the Raphael Tweaks in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413562
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NetRipper:
I'm also curious about the GPS performance. I currently have a Holux GR-230 GPS receiver connected to my Hermes and I'm thinking of upgrading to the Raphael, as I'd like the GPS internal (and many other features, but GPS primarily).

I'm wondering whether the GPS performance is comparable to an external GPS receiver, or if I would have to weigh a better external GPS receiver against a more convenient internal GPS receiver.

On other threads I've seen many response that GPS is good and fine and all that, but I'm just wondering how it compares to an external one. Hope someone can shed light on this.

Hermes against Raphael

Hello,

also used Hermes for last 2 years and now upgraded to Raphael. There is no way how to say, how big difference this is... from style design to VGA, speed - everything is uncomparamble with Hermes. I think, there is other HTC killer machine;)

Have Raph for about week and half and tried to test everything.

Desing is awesome. Yesterday I take my Hermes out for cottage (it is my wifi router now) and I was supprised, how ugly this device is against Raph.

Display - awesome, this is cool. Compared with qVGA this is cool. Great is also, that there is no display frame above display, so u can easily touch corners with your fingers. Also better touch support is great.

Speed is great, RAM helps very much.

Everything is great on this device. If Hermes was for you right device, as was for me, u will love Raph.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kevlar-Source:
Dear MaRaHoX,

Will you start developing ROMs to Raphael as you did to Hermes?

Cheers.

Yeah please do MaRaHoX because i´m a big fan of your ROM´s :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sgwright:
I have an S7 (Korea model, bought on EBay a year ago) which no longer boots after the latest OTA update - it freezes on the SK Telecom splash screen after the Samsung logo.

I started out hoping to restore data, but now I am just hopeful I can get a working phone again, but it doesn't seem likely from what I have read, as it appears my EFS is corrupt, and I have FRP lock enabled which prevents me from installing TWRP or other tools.

Here are the things I have tried:

1. Used Odin to flash the latest official firmware (SKC-G930SKSU3ETJ1-20201105091200) (BL, AP, CP HOME_CSC)

2. Wiped flash from Recovery

3. Wiped data/factory reset from Recovery

4. Tried to load TWRP via Odin, but blocked by FRP

5. Tried to use adb sideload twrp... from a PC but also blocked by FRP

I can get into recovery, but get the E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) error

I can get into download mode with:

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930S

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

FRP LOCK: ON

Secure Download: Enabled

WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0500)

AP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2

I didn't root this phone myself, but believe it was done by the eBay seller I got it from. The recovery screen appears to be original, so I'm not sure why I get a SYSTEM STATUS: Custom on the download screen, as I have original Samsung firmware.

Hi! Thanks, but no works... Same problem: Zepp can't install old firmware.

Notify can install other things: old resources, old GPS... And when Zepp detects it, then updates the resources and GPS.
