[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] MarSOnEarth:
Hi there!

This is my first Samsung phone that I attempted to root. It's a Sprint Note 5 with *3DRH1 firmware, and it refuses to drop-down to bootloader level. Trying with either adb, or Vol+,Home,Power key press combination, or selecting "reboot to bootloader" from recovery ends up booting right back into system. I've read one mention about Sprint preventing such access, but is there a way around this?

That's one problem. The other is inability to flush (with Odin) the TWRP recovery, even though Odin reports success. After that, booting to recovery first displays "Installing system software" on a blue background, then a warning "No command", and only then ends up on native recovery.

The one thing I was successful in was to boot into Download mode, and I guess this would allow me to flush other original firmware. Is that right? What older firmware would allow me to root this phone? Is that the route to take, or is there magic trick/key press combination that can invoke the bootloader mode? Thanks for any pointers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] 3zozHashim:
Note 5 doesnt have a bootloader

If you want to root or use any custom roms, you need TWRP,

Steps to root:-

1) Download the latest version of twrp for your device from TWRP's website

2) place it in AP in Odin

3) Close your phone then press Volume Down, Home Button, Power button simultaneously to boot to Odin/Download Mode

4) connect to your PC and flash twrp

5) Download Magisk v23 from Magisk's github.

6) use an OTG or place it on your phone's sdcard.

7) Install it from TWRP

The reason i said v23 instead of v24 is because Magisk Hide is off as default for v24, so, better to install v23 then update magisk later from its app.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] sidewinder_x5:
anyone have working wifi calling with TMO-US? i assume not, due to it not being officially supported, but want to double check.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Droios:
Hello there. I've recently purchased the US version since I live in USA but I noticed wifi calling doesn't work on mine and I couldn't find a way to enable it. I have not called T-Mobile yet but I will eventually. I'll give an update later.

Have you had any luck with it?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] sidewinder_x5:
i havent gotten it yet, since i use wifi calling a lot at home due to not the greatest signal. if it doesnt support, then i might have to pass, which is a shame since its such a nice phone otherwise.
[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] Techguy2018:
Hello everyone, I have a question if someone can help me with it.

I had an old mainboard that no longer worked (Sim Card would not read at all) so I had purchased another one on Aliexpress, when I received it everything was in... I am guessing Chinese so I figured out how to get it in English well most of it anyway, not all, but my issues are...

No Google Play

Some of the language is still in Chinese

Can not change keyboard to English as default (Stuck as China)

My thought but not sure if you can is put a different ROM (Flash the Mainboard) on it so I would be able to get everything that I am missing.

Mostly all the apps on the phone are in the other language so I am not able to read any of them. Any help would be great.

Specs...

Huawei P30 Lite

Model: MAR-AL00

Build Number: 10.0.0.165 (C00E65R1P9)

EMUI Version: 10.0.0

Android Version: 10

Processor Hisilicon Kirin 710

Ram: 6GB

Internal Storage: 128GB

I think that is all, if there is something else or I am missing something please let me know and I will provide the needed info as soon as I can.

Thanks

Heres a question. Is the TomTom Plus device code tied to the version of Navigator.

IE - If I install TT7 on my diamond (which currently has my TT6 installed with a device code for my tomtom plus profile) will it have the same device code (this is nothing to do with product codes/serial numbers/activation codes etc).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SiemensLover:
yes! on the same device u have the same Device ID on all tt versions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gaspodex:
Excellent - thats all i needed, a nice concise answer :)

Now hear this I believe of extracted the colonel from my ROM and the recovery/boot image and the Rams disc I don't know if anybody can do anything with these I've got the system image and I'll upload it later but I'm just trying to throw in my two cents cuz I really do like this phone it's currently dead because I flashed either the wrong recovery or something but here they are, https://mega.nz/folder/WJ11CA5L#ozWGoeeTsStmK0fedU2N9A
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
I hope someone dares to take the change to do something with his phone not just because I like it but because oppo makes really good phones we can't give up on them and I know they cost a lot of money but we're smart and I believe it can happen and this could be one of the best phones ever made so if anybody sees this or anybody feels in that heart that they can do something with it I got some other stuff too that I could put with it like recovery boot image system image I even got all the other images like TZ image splash image even I just haven't been able to decompress them but let's join together and try to do something with this phone like I said not just for me but for other future developers that we don't quit just because something's hard thank you all I appreciate each and every person on this site XDA for your hard work and your passion for this type of stuff!!!

Hey y'all check this out I think this will help us a great deal. I think it will aid in making a fast boot image for unbreaking our phones which I'm desperately needing and I would try it myself but I don't have a Linux on my computer https://github.com/cyxx/extract_android_ota_payload
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
Man I don't have Linux either. But I have managed to pull a boot image I have a recovery image that VB meter image dtbo image and a vendor image that I got from another phone that was a real me phone they say the real me phones are really close if not the same phone as the oppo phone. But each time I try to do anything man it just never works it's like something does not want us to do anything with these phones.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
IDK I just looked at the site you would presented I'm going to try to play with it today but I do have a brother that live here in United States that uses Linux if I can't do anything with it in the next couple hours then I will get a hold of him and see if he can do something with it and I promise I'll get back on here as soon as soon as anything drops I hate Oppo for this. they took a half ass good phone experience and turned it into a complete nightmare and when you try to talk to them thick-headed sons of benches they don't want to listen to what the people have to say because we're the ones buying their crap you know I started this year out not wanting a Samsung phone because I loved off of just the one Apple phone I had in 2016 I loved it I didn't want to come back to using Samsung or LG or any of those other junky ass phones it just makes me so mad that they won't listen
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
Oh I just found out the reason why my phone won't recover from Fastboot mode it's because when I flashed that custom recovery it deleted the kernel out of the boot image or something to that effect!! So I'm trying to extract the payload.bin to get my fast boot flashables!
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
Y'all not going to believe this I just decompiled one of the ofp files for the Apple Reno 10x zoom!!!!!!! I will load the files for anybody has got the India version or the Australian version I don't know if this will work for any of the other ones but on apples main site they don't make any difference between either Chinese or global or even just the regular Reno phone

Well it's done by the grace of God almighty I managed to bring my phone back to life and rooted the new problem I don't have Wi-Fi but I think I read over in another thread that it was talking about something similar and it said that I have to flash the ozip firmware the latest one first and then install majestic so I'm going to try that tonight fingers crossed man we're getting closer
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
Good news guys I hope you're sitting down for this by the grace of the almighty God in heaven my oppo is unlocked, ROOTED!!!!!!! I lost my wifi, but that was because I flashed the recovery patched img first. That is a bad no no!!! Flash Ozip( latest ota updates) first wipe data in the color os rec.

Hey we all need to work together to help get this thing going like I said in my last post but no you're great dude I'm trying my best to try to figure it out but I don't have much help and like I said before a lot of the stuff you find on forums is either bull crap or old so I'm stuck at the point to where I need to flash that my stock ROM and the MSS flash tool you have to have a password or something to get into it and I've tried miracle box without the box I've tried the nck pro box I bought that one I'll go back and try to use it but it's always you do something with the drivers

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] prratha93:
ya, I thought so. My model number won't show EX at the end neither the build number show EX. So I guess EX is for the 8GB version.

Damn, that means all the firmware I have downloaded is for 8GB if that's true.

I think We will need flash C28 or C30 firmware oppo deep test was tested on C29. I was looking for C29 couldn't get one. I guess C28 is our best hope but with C30 there mere mixed reports of tool working.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] prratha93:
If I can help I will definitely do it. As I said I can extract firmware for you. My objective is to at least unlock the bootloader so that people can flash GSI. (I am guessing it has treble support)

I believe it's the same for the global version
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] prratha93:

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
Yes it does have a trouble support at least at the end of the bill it says just that and my bootloader is already unlocked

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] bobo31:
No not yet I've been reading a couple of forums some folks said to let it die and it'll go back and some other people say that I need to charge it and it'll go back it'll automatically turn on I left it on charge all night most of the night it hasn't done anything so when I get back from work I'll do something to try to decharge it or something I don't know. If you get a chance to look around to see if there's a fix or whatever let me know

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] prratha93:
Sorry I got caught up in work. So if I get it correctly you are not able to extract firmware is that right? honestly, I suggest using python in a Linux environment as even I faced issues when I was using it in windows. For starters, I would suggest create a virtual environment venv and install required packages there as windows' permission can screw python execution.

Also, make sure that you are running python version 3.7 or 3.6

Don't use the higher version especially 3.8+.

else you can send me the package link I will extract/decrypt it for you.

Again I would suggest you try ubuntu 18.04 on either a Virtual machine or as a live disk. Let me know if you need help with that
