[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] agrecascino:
Hi. I got an unknown CSC unlocked N960F/DS from ebay sometime back in late 2019. As soon as it arrived, I dumped lineage on it and was mostly happy with it for a while. Various features eventually went and broke(bluetooth most of the time, photo uploads in any apps basically) and yesterday I decided to upgrade my rom. I went and downloaded one of the lineage builds and sideloaded it through adb. That's where the story begins. My phone didn't make it past the brightness reloading part of the bootloader screen. I went through some other builds but that was obviously hosed so I grabbed the ONEUI2 STABLE rom and devbase rom from the exynos section here. I flashed devbase and while my phone worked, I had no cellular, my launcher was constantly crashing to the point where I couldn't use it, and bluetooth was also constantly crashing. I did the same with the ONEUI 2 STABLE rom only to be stuck at the SAMSUNG + blue/cyan LED screen after optimizing apps.

I don't really know where to go from here, but I guess I really don't want to trash my userdata. There's a lot of **** there that I can't really get back if I wipe it(avid user of signal).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] agrecascino:
Note for all you folks in back:

This wasn't actually a EFS related problem. I had a CP/BL vs. system mismatch and the firmware i was using simply didn't use the baseband. I flashed back to stock, BRI CSC and was perfectly fine. I'll probably restore my data partition from a backup in a few hours.

Obvious PSA that saved me a lot of time:

BACK UP YOUR EFS!!!!!!!

In this supreme hackerous master page not a single snowden has figure this one out yet?

So.. my question to yous is.. is there any way to turn Sabrina Chromecats into ChromeOS?

Clean install no Virtual ChimiChanga Virtualization Apk that run crippled..
[Google Chromecast] zackoch:
first an exploit has to be discovered. Nobody's loading anything on it until that happens :) Based on my poor ability to pwn things I haven't figured out squat. I've looked for hardware exploits and tried all the older known stuff. It's pretty locked down.
[Google Chromecast] zackoch:
that being said, you can run chrome... just sideload the apk. I'm not a fan of chrome os but I use my chromecast as a 'computer' to check random websites every once in awhile this way.
[Google Chromecast] ahecht:
While rooting may be possible, it's unlikely that we'll be able to unlock the bootloader and install a different OS. The FireTV 4K took almost a year before a bootrom exploit was discovered, and even that required cracking open the case, removing shielding from the board, and shorting out tiny pins.

Flash a stock gps rom and then flash any custom rom you like.....if that does not work try the exit bl program....

Each rom flash starts with opening an activesync connection.... I cannot get the OS to load. would the exit bl fix this?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
You can download a GPS compatible radio and a GPS compatible ROM and flash them from SD card, this is actually very easy to do. Once they are both flashed on the phone, then you can flash whatever GPS compatible rom you want via Activesync. For now tho, since it won't boot, the SD card is your best option.

They end in .nbh, so look around, there are 2 posts one for the latest radio and one for DCD's latest rom, both should have links to .nbh files, and if not, you can rename the RUU file out of the DCD rom and then copy it to your SD card.

There are dozens of tutorials on here, just do some searching and you'll be ok.

Thank you so much for your help! I spent a couple hours looking around. Copied the radio .nbh to the SD, let it load, reset, copied ROM .nbh to SD, let it load, reset. and I'm up and running.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Geniu2020:
Hi,

GPS uses a large battery.

But I got off the GPS and got off all access to location.

Now, when I try to use an app as Mi Fit, every time ask me to turn on GPS but i Set mobile phone to turn on GPS only when I use App.

I don't undertand if I have to activate GPS every time and it starts when an app ask for it or, if I turn on GPS, it uses battery every day (and I don't want this).

With my old phone, for example, I didn't turn on gps for google map and tracking because it used 4g. Now Why I have to turn on GPS FOR EVERY APP?

I have mi account activated, with deactivate MI location and gallery sync because i use google photos for that.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] MocnePifko:
Conclusion. Enabling GPS uses zero extra power except when location services are actually being used. You'll use more power turning it on and off than just leaving it on all the time.

Copy pasta from simple Google search. Your welcome 😁
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] peeweew:
Just always make sure that Wifi Scanning is disabled under Location Services. This is a huge battery hogger. What this option does is keep your wifi active so that GPS can easily find you. Problem with this is that the option is kept enabled even if you disable Location.

Make it a habit to turn on and off Location from time to time. Only use Location when needed for apps like Maps/Waze/Grab/Uber.

As this option may be enabled by some apps after accepting this message whenever you open the app with your Location turned off

It's much better to answer "No" and just enable Location (not wifi scanning) manually thru your control center. Doing this will avoid the system to enable Wifi scanning automatically.

The consumption of Miui in idle mode is high, custom kernel improves a little. For fix, only custom Rom + custom kernel.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Saswata Chakraborty:
MIUI is crap. So many bloatware. You never know which system app is running in the background to monitor all your activities and draining battery as a result. I would suggest you to switch to an AOSP based custom ROM. There are a lot of amazing custom ROMs available for our device. Just make sure not to use an MIUI based custom ROM or else the result will be pretty much the same as now.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] thehartk:
Hi,

My S20+ is on android 11 and rooted with Magisk.

I have no TWRP installed.

When I try to pair my watch it gets stuck on the pairing screen and it seems like the bluetooth connection to the watch is flickering.

Thing I have done so far:

On clean install of android 11 without root - watch pairs with no issue, so it doesn't matter if knox is tripped or not.

Any other bluetooth device pairs successfully with no issues.

The watch is able to pair with my rooted Pixel 4 - no issues

From Magisk I installed the bluetooth packeges, still no luck.

Tried magisk hide as well, no luck

I tried with TWRP to install the multidisabler, same result.

BeyondRom 1.5 which is android 10 based and rooted with magisk - watch paired successfully (But I really want Android 11)

Can anyone share if they suffer from same issue ? can someone point to a solution ?

Thanks

Try

Try to edit your build.prop and disable "tima" by replacing 1 by 0 then reboot your phone. Wiping the app cache can additionally help.

Did you have to install any magisk modules first?? I have magisk (rooted) and using terminal I put the lines in One at a time and nothing changed. Until I used Bluetooth patch module and rebooted. If you get a min can you message me exactly how you did it plz
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] thehartk:
My order was to install the magisk modules, then run the commands.

The first time, I tried running the commands on a terminal application on the phone. I was too lazy to reach my PC. It result with failure to boot.

Second and successful attempt was done using adb shell on the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jerome-666:
I just put above commands to adjust "manifest.xml" and rebooted:

- no magisk modules (of course I have other magisk modules installed, but unrelated). I did NOT have "bluetooth packeges" module installed (as in your step 4).

- I used adb shell on PC (as if it matters..)

Detailed comparison with your situation - mine was:

------------------------------------

> 1. On clean install of android 11 without root - watch pairs with no issue, so it doesn't matter if knox is tripped or not.

YES - exactly the same.

> 2. Any other bluetooth device pairs successfully with no issues.

YES

> 3. The watch is able to pair with my rooted Pixel 4 - no issues

YES - worked with 2 other phones

> 4. From Magisk I installed the bluetooth packeges, still no luck.

NO - I didn't have that.

> 5. Tried magisk hide as well, no luck

Well, I DO have hidden Galaxy Wearable, Galaxy Watch Plugin, Samsung Accessory Service, but I don't think it's related.

> 6. I tried with TWRP to install the multidisabler, same result.

YES - I also had multidisabler flashed, but it didn't connect for me either.

> 7. BeyondRom 1.5 which is android 10 based and rooted with magisk - watch paired successfully (But I really want Android 11)

Don't know - mine is SM-G781B/DS (S20 FE 5G) anyway.

------------------------------------

Good luck!

How to Remove Bloatware from Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra without Root

Learn how to easily uninstall pre-installed system apps and remove bloatware from Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra without root.

www.thecustomdroid.com

Procedure steps:

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 NOT CONNECTING TO ROOTED S20 ULTRA:

Enable developper mode on phone (google how)

Enable USB debugging on phone (google how)

Download ADB tool from here --> https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

unzip file --> move the “platform-tools” folder to the C:\ drive --> Open Explorer and go to C:\platform-tools.

Hold the SHIFT key on the keyboard and right-click on any empty space inside the folder.

Then select the “Open PowerShell window here” option.

Connect your phone with USB to your computer, and unlock it.

Type in the power-shell: .\adb devices

you will be instantly prompted on your phone to allow USB Debugging on your Galaxy S20. --> Check the “Always allow from this computer” option and press “Allow”.

initiate the ADB shell on your computer -->

Type: .\adb shell

The prompt should have changed now (to e.g. z3s:/ # ....) else you have to type .\adb shell again.

Copy / paste the script below into ADB Shell, but do it 1 set at a time, each command set followed by an 'ENTER' .

(after the first 'su' command as below, you'll be directly prompted on your phone for SU access... grant it for ... a few minutes).

su

mount -w -o remount /vendor

cp --preserve=all /vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml /vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml.bak

sed -i /`grep wsm /vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml|sed 's@/@\\\/@'|sed 's@>@\\>@g'|sed 's@<@\\<@g'|tr -d ' '`/,/'<hal format="hidl">'/d /vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml

mount -r -o remount /vendor

Thats it. Now give it a reboot to be sure.... and start the watch pairing procedure. The pairing still takes some time... but after a few minutes it is completed.

OR...., continue with below if you also wish to delete some OEM bloatware (apps embedded in firmware) --> continue here:

use the ‘App Inspector‘ application from google store on your phone to check the 'package names'

initiate the ADB shell on your computer as above -->

type .\adb shell

Then type:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 <app-package-name> (e.g. replace <app-package-name> by for example: com.samsung.android.app.spage)

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage

etc.

Have fun.

My goodness, after countless time trying to find a solution to pair my Gear S3 Frontier to my Note 20 Ultra after rooting it, this post is amazing. At first, I had to enter the script manually until I learned how to copy/paste the script after making mistakes with typing the longest script. I rebooted and paired my watch and it took only seconds to pair it!! I was so close to keeping the Z Fold 3 I have on trial but will now return it now that my watch is paired to my Note 20 Ultra! Thank you for this! It's funny that no one in the post-root Telegram were able to help me, despite them saying they're there to help. To anyone who doesn't think this works, please take it from me to know that it truly does. Thank you, again!

Hey guys! I need your help! I've tried the above commands on my rooted demo galaxy s20+ and it resulted in a bootloop. I can boot it into recovery and fastboot modes. I've been stupid enough to not backup my photos from the device. Since the first command is the backup of manifest.xml to manifest.xml.bak, is there a way to restore that file from backup made, via fastboot or recovery, to make phone bootable again? Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

I've managed to install TWRP and using adb shell i reversed the backup command. Managed to start the phone, but the question remains, why it went to bootloop in a first place?

Hi, I have a question. The pairing between the Galaxy S20FE (Stock-Rom Android 11 and Magisk) and the Galaxy Watch SM-R800 does not work for me. It always gets stuck at the last point. Does your procedure also work with these devices and my problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] thehartk:
Should work indeed
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] BChamp:
So I've been using the method provided for a while. I will say the command's you used are a bit different and helped my issue.

When I updated my phone, I could not redo this process with the Commands on GitHub like I always do. When putting in the command "mount -o, rw /vendor" Terminal says "mount not in /proc/mounts"

For some odd reason I wasn't able to to execute the command. So using the "mount -w -o remount /vendor" command worked. Restarted the phone after putting in the other commands and I had a successful pair automatically.

I'm sharing this if anyone runs into this issue after updating their phones.

P.S I did figure out what the command is doing if anyone did not know, thanks to the "backup manifest" command. If you want to possibly do this manually if the commands do not want to work at all:

1. First get a root explorer (I use "Root Browser" Has a black folder with a yellow lighting bolt on it as the apps icon)

2. In root explorer go to System/Vendor/Etc/vintf

3. Open "Manifest.xml" with a text editor (Make a backup just in case)

4. Delete these lines then save the xml after editing:

</hal>

<hal format="hidl">

<name>vendor.samsung.hardware.security.wsm</name> <transport>hwbinder</transport>

<version>1.0</version>

<interface>

<name> SehWsm</name>

<version>1.2</version>

<interface>

<name> SehSnap</name>

<instance>default</instance>

</interface>

<fqname>@1.2::ISehSnap/default</fqname>

5. Restart phone

6. Attempt to connect to watch
