[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] TGX20:
Hello, could someone help me with some questions please? It is more concerned with unlocking the bootloader and security so I am sorry if this isn't the right place, but any help is greatly appreciated as I come from iOS & Jailbreaking.

1) other than my data, what should I backup before/after unlocking the bootloader? maybe recovery and persistent partitions? and how would I do that, by booting TWRP from FastBoot before flashing it?

2) I am planning on flashing Evo X and I assume with the SafetyNet Fix zip provided I'd be able to pass SafetyNet, but what about Widevine? Will it still be L1 after unlocking & flashing Evo X? If not, is L1 permanently lost after unlocking the bootloader?

3) anything else I should know / do before I proceed?

Thanks in Advance!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] NOSS8:
1) we cannot restore Miui data to AOSP

2) After flashing many aosp roms, I never lost FOD and L1.(ask the question on the Evo X rom thread)
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] TGX20:
Hey, thanks for the response, for #1, I don't mean my personal data, but rather system partitions like the recovery and persistent partitions, I heard that the persistent partition stores the Widevine certificates, how can I backup those? And how can I restore them if needed?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] NOSS8:
Not possible

If you want to go back to Miui just flash the original rom with miflash in fastboot mode.

I have already done this several times without problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] TGX20:
Honestly I don't understand, I don't want to go back to MIUI, basically I looked up online on Widevine, and it said the Widevine certificates are stored in some persist.img or partition or something like that, how do I backup that?

Or do you mean I do not need to backup anything? I can just straight up flash custom ROM without any worries of losing Widevine L1?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] NOSS8:

Currently twrp is not 100% functional, use magisk only for SafetyNet.

[Android Auto General] Cregeland:
Hi,

I´m having issues with an old Eonon GA8166A unit in a BMW X5 E53 where the Bluetooth is very unstable (does not work when the unit is cold and only intermittent after multiple restarts).

Since the unit is discontinued and out of warranty I´m wondering if it is possible to replace the motherboard and/or bluetooth module on this unit? I believe it is a px3 board with android 7.1.2 and MTCD KBT 2.61.

Maybe it is possible to upgrade to a newer board with better cpu/ram while still maintaining the integration with car system (canbus).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] PPL2020:
Just upgraded from a T-Mobile V40 phone to a new T-Mobile V60 phone. My old V40 had a really nice font named "HYLavender" that was downloaded from LG SmartWorld site. It is no longer available to be downloaded to my new V60. LG SmartWorld told me they can't support my request even under paid.

Some research showed that Fonts for LG are downloaded as a hidden APK from SmartWorld and installed on your phone. You cannot use 3rd party fonts like TT or via an app like iFonts.

I found a way to export installed fonts from my V40 to the new V60. Use a File Manager App that can "backup" an installed App into a APK. I used my favorite File Manger+ App but there are others.

Search the installed Apps on your phone with the File Manager. I easily found my desired Font and created a backup APK file. Transferred this APK file into my ne V60 and installed it. Got back my favorite Font on my new V60 phone.

Might be useful information for someone.
[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] x4nd3r_xx:
saludos yo he buscado esa fuente y no la he podido encontrar sera posible q me pasese la apk que creaste por favor de antemano gracias
[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] memnon79:
I am also interested in how to transfer fonts and old SmartWorld content.
[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] audietron25:
As OP mentioned, you can extract the apk off your device but make sure you don't share them publicly. For fonts, it's probably better just to use this tool:

- https://m.cafe.naver.com/ca-fe/web/cafes/optimuslteuser/articles/838504?useCafeId=false

There's also a Telegram group which has a lot of pre-made fonts uploaded that were created using that tool:

- https://t.me/lg_fonts

It's probably going to be very hard to find paid Smartworld themes (which have apparently been removed in a few regions) but I think at least one dev has uploaded their work on the Play Store.
[LG V60 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Salvaparalyzer:
I installed some fonts, but they doesn't appear in the font menu :(

Just got this v60 and it's unrooted.

Edit: Nevermind, it was just the font I created. Downloaded fonts work correctly.

I think I will never get Nokia Pure Text back in a V series.
[Oppo F1s Questions & Answers] DryNorman:
Hi guys,

I have an Oppo F1S A1601. While it has the latest official update from Oppo, it is still running Android 5.1, which has started showing signs of its age. I have been looking into flashing a factory image of Android 10 or 11, and have some questions.

Where to get them? On the Android site, there appear to be only be images for Android 11 for some select Pixel and Nexus devices. The Oppo site does not have any updates for the smartphone.

If I need to flash an image designed for Pixel devices, which one to pick, and what are the chances of bricking the phone?

In the case of a bad flash or other failure, how to recover the original system?

Is it possibel to get an OTA update? If so, where can I get the files?

Phone specs:

Octa core processor (Don't have any more information apart from this)

3 GB ram

32 GB total disk space

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi XDAers,

I have tried a number of things and is at a loss - I have a 2 years IMAT KJAM Wizard G4. The problem occured 2 days ago when the device just freezed on me. I did a soft reset, booted fine but then came up after the initial load screen (WizardLove AKU 2) with a white screen.

I have reloaded the IPL, flashed the ROM with WizardLove again, Hard reset back to factory defaults, soft resets the works.

After ROM flash it boots up, i get ActiveSync to load and connect fine. but with in 5 - 10 after having the phone up and working the screen goes white.

If any one has any idea what could up with the Wizard device please let me know?

Regards,

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
Does anyone actually know how to get the pre order items? I pre ordered mine launch day through Bell, I just got it today and I'm super confused. I've spoke with Bell multiple times and they have no idea.

First call they told me I just bring my proof of purchase to any bell reseller and get the headphones and smarttag in hand at the store

BestBuy then told me I'm suppose to get a voucher from Bell and give that to Samsung online, and they are send directly from Samsung.

Bell then told me that I gotta wait for the phone to arrive, and use the Samsung Members app once I have the phone, and it will know it's an S21 Ultra and prompt me for the voucher, and then I can redeem it with Samsung to have them sent to me.

I now have the phone, registered with Samsung on my account, Samsung Members app installed, no prompt, no messages, no frums to fill out, nothing.

I'm now waiting for the new Bell SIM to activate so I can't call Bell back to ask why there's nothing on the app and what I should do, so, figured I would check here since I have time to kill while I wait for the activation to take place on my SIM

How do I redeem this preorder bundle? Has anyone in Canada actually got the headphones and smart tag doing a pre order through a carrier? Like, What? How does multiple people from the carrier itself not even know how to redeem their own offer?

UPDATE:

Talked to Bell again because the lady I spoke with prior, activated my new SIM on my brother's number (family account), so now I gotta wait for the new 5G SIM to come in the mail lol. The guy I spoke with this time I asked the same question, how do I get the headphones, and was super chill, told me straight up and just said, I'm going to be blunt here, we have no idea how to get them, the deal is offered with Samsung and all we know is Samsung is giving them out to people who bought from Samsung first, and once you can no longer preorder from Samsung, the carriers will get what's left of the bundles as a free for all for whoever can redeem the voucher first.

So directly from a Bell Employee, the preorder bundles are a scam if you bought through a carrier, Samsung is offering the deal through their store only until the preorder ends and then the chance of getting the preorder bundle when the preorders close is pure chance.

May the odds be ever in your favor..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
I bought through Rogers and the attached came in the box.View attachment 5199985
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
Okay I didn't get that from Bell haha, I miss Rogers, we don't have that here anymore. It's only Bell, Telus, and a local company that took over for Rogers but you can't get every phone through them and their customer service is terrible and not 24/7.

EDIT:

I flashed the Official Samsung Unlocked Firmware on the SM-G998W, and when I opened the Samsung Members app, I was prompted for the E-Voucher and redeemed it. So this issue is with the Bell Firmware.

Bell also lied and told me I would get the matching colour the phone, but only the Black ones are for the promo.

Bell really became shady as hell recently. Legit false advertising from their reps cause I got the silver phone so I could get the silver headphones, straight up lied to me lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
I got the pre order stuff from Bell.

Says on Bells website to get it from the Members app.

Went into Members app on phone, scroll down to benefit section. There is a small photo showing pre order e-voucher. Click that, brings up your code, copy to clip board. You then click the link to go to the store to use voucher.

First few times I did it, it showed the items out of stock. Tried it an hour or so later, no problem, added to card, put in the e-voucher code and balance is zero. Fill out shipping details and poof your good.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheOneChristo:
Got mine through Telus and it's exactly what Rosco said, go into your Samsung Members app, look for offers and there will be a coupon.

Go to Samsung.com and add the two items, drop the coupon code in at checkout and voila, order placed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
now if they would just ship them lol. Been saying "preparing dispatch" since Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
That is OK as, in theory, the coupon which came with my Rogers phone said delivery from 6-8 weeks from the date of redemption. I am just hoping that shipment will be done this week some time. A week before I ordered a wireless charger from Samsung and it was shipped on the first business day (a Monday) from somewhere in Ontario via Purolator Express and was delivered before noon on Tuesday in Montreal, despite stating "standard shipping". I am hoping that we will get an advice of shipment close to 5 pm today.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
finally changed from perparing dispatch to processing...lol. Not sure what that means ha
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
Thanks for the heads-up. However looking at mine (Is yours the same?) I too see the "Processing" but it is no longer "Preparing despatch". This is almost retrograde as preparing despatch to me would be packing the items, preparing waybill etc. Processing sounds like some earlier step.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
agreed, seems backwards to me. But who knows *shrug*
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
and now its back to preparing dispatch :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
I still believe preparing dispatch is better. If they are really serious about the preparing dispatch advice then it should ship latest tomorrow but perhaps this evening. But what do I know?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
I know it is bad form to reply to your own post but obviously I was clueless as to Samsung's shipping procedures. Looking at the Rogers' website, it appears they are still offering the promotion until the end of February. It would appear that sales are hardly off the wall. That leads me to believe that, as they advised on the promotion, this may take weeks before the items are shipped. This makes sense from a logistical point of view. People have 2 weeks to return their phones. How do they handle the situation of people receiving the bonus items and returning the phone? One would think relatively easy but you have two parties involved here, Rogers and Samsung and communication may be a bit broken. So they decide they will let a good time pass and it will be clear who kept their phones and who returned them.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] y2whisper:
sometimes you just end up with the free item. That has happened to me in the past when I returned a pixel to google. I still got the preorder bonus weeks later.

I preordered through samsung which I can't fully recommend doing if you are paying in installments as they terms mention a potential monthly fee for going that route. I ended up getting it outright but the buds and tag came with the device. When I got the note 20 the preorder process was a bit broken (got through telus) they told me I had to go into the store, the store told me I had to order online.

Hopefully your stuff shows up soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Iain_S:
yes you need to do it from the members app, got mine all ordered today
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
Oh yes. Not sure to whom that was addressed. From the members app I pasted the coupon into the store and everything went normally. This was the week before last. It has, however, been stuck on preparing dispatch for myself and everybody else who purchased this phone through a Canadian carrier. I was just wondering when they will actually ship.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
Yeah I'm still waiting, still says preparing dispatch
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
Just a follow up, hasnt changed. I did a live chat to inquire...may be waiting some time if true lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
Thanks for this, although not the best news.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Roscopcoletrain:
Well, they're dispatched! I can't believe they actually shipped!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
You are a champ at this!! Mine says the same. Quite possibly delivery tomorrow but if it were a tracked item we would have received an email.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] peterg21:
My turn now. The Buds Pro and the Smart Tag arrived 30 minutes ago via Fedex Overnight Priority. I am in Montreal.

Hi All,

I have gotten a p40 pro a few days ago (EMUI 11), and need the Barclays app functioning for their code generator. I can't install the app through APKs, I get the shared directory error. I found a thread containing a fix in this forum, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my device (I think it's because I'm on EMUI 11 which is more recent, URL of the fix : https://xdaforums.com/t/shared-directory-error-fix.4048319/ )

Also tried Gspace and dualspace, no luck there either. Did anyone manage to get Barclays working on their p40 pro?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Kart0:
Sorry can't really comment on the barclays app specifically but I manage to get the natwest one running via dualspace. What I find tho is It will stop working if I load to many apps into dual space, so I basically use dual space for only a couple of apps. That seems to give me more days usage before it eventually all stops and I have to reinstall dualspace and apps. Also find with dualspace and natwest app will never install straight away need to leave it pending download for couple of days before eventuality installs Where as say hangouts will always install each time straight away.

This is the best video for Installation. Download it and watch it at the same time you are installing.

If it fails then use the broom icon and to clean up then Start again this time you don't need to Install backup so start Video after the backup and try again. Then use

Don't freeze Google Frame. With these 2 videos you should have everything working

here is fix for Notification

You can check that your notification are working or not by installing Push Notification tester

Hi,

okay, I have to wait now until I get my Barclay card.

So far I have only installed the app.

When I start the app, it remains

it stops immediately in the first screen.

When I launch the app in vmos, the app runs right through to the login screen.

So I suspect that the app would continue to work.

I can only check this next week when I receive my login data from barclay.

I will report it then.

So long I ask for patience.

Sorry if I should have awakened false hopes.

Hey, I believe Lidl Plus is offered on the AppGallery (pretty sure I saw it, though I don't use it as I don't have a Lidl nearby).

Barclays mail support is frustrating tbh, I mailed them to ask when they're planning to support HMS devices, they asked me to send photos of the error I get when I try to install, I did that and then they ghosted me...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] waltbader:
Yes, Lidl app does, but not Lidl Plus app.

Your problem with the Barclay app may be different from mine.

I have a P40 lite 5G and have EMUI 10.

For me, the app starts and stops at the first screen.

with vmos the app goes to the login screen.

as you describe it, the app does not start at all on your phone.

so I suspect you have a completely different reason for the not working.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] waltbader:
the way you write, you can't even install the barclay app on your phone.

that was no problem for me.

I installed the barclay app from the aurora store.

if that doesn't work, then your problem is different from mine.

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] waltbader:
carbonmanx has a Huawei P20 pro.

this phone is not blocked by google and probably his phone is without root.

therefore he has no problem with a banking app.

i guess if the barclaycard app does not work, maybe the reason is a rooted phone !

banking apps refuse phones with root.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] waltbader:
one more observation:

i use the barclaycard visa app.

that is, the app for the barclay visa credit card.

do you also mean this app?

if so, you can also get into the banking for the visacard through any browser.

this has the same functions as the barclaycard visa app.

you don't need google services here either.

whether a query happens whether the phone is rooted, I do not know, because my P40 lite 5G is not rooted and it works immediately via the browser.
