[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nidea180:
Hello, I'm quite new. I downgraded from Pie to Oreo with Miflash a couple of years ago cause I had wifi problems. I got V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF now. I want lock bootloader and keep updating via OTA. Which version should I install? stock version? Or some Pie version? I will lose all data of the phone right ? And where I can get the ROM? The old links I had not working now. Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
If you want security updates you have to use Android 10 but it's got some "known issues" you may not like. 11.0.16.0

https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.16.0.QDLMIXM/daisy_global_images_V11.0.16.0.QDLMIXM_20201225.0000.00_10.0_79e5becb5f.tgz

If you just want to go back to Pie, you may as well get the last version. 10.0.20.0

There's a list of stock images here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/fastboot-daisy-xiaomi-mi-a2-lite-fastboot-images.3824871/

That page also has install instructions if you aren't familiar.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nidea180:
Thanks @a1291762 Yes I prefer something stable so I'll install 10.0.20.0. I enter into fastboot mode and flash with miflash(clean all) right?

And I'm wondering if It is possible to lock the bootloader to update via OTA in the future? (clean and lock) It is possible with that version or you need to install the first Android 8.1.0 [V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF] ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
I haven't used miflash only the fastboot scripts. But I believe miflash has a lock bootloader option. As long as you are also flashing all of the partitions, it's safe to use. Note that you do not need a locked bootloader to OTA.

You can use that version (10.0.20.0). There is no need to use an older one.

If you are downgrading you need to flash a newer modem because it fails if you downgrade the modem firmware. That makes it trickier to flash and lock. Replacing the file works with the fastboot scripts.

After install, you will need to immediately enable developer mode to disable automatic system updates. Otherwise your phone will install Android 10 automatically.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nidea180:
Thanks it has been helpful. So can I update via OTA after install a fastboot ROM, no matter if bootloader is lock or unlock? Is that possible when you downgrade?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Yes. OTA only requires the A/B partitions to be unmodified. You can have an unlocked bootloader.

If you root with Magisk or install TWRP then your partitions will be modified. If you don't do that, you can OTA without issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
FWIW: I am lending my phone to somebody else, and didn't want them to have to put up with Android 10's quirks (particularly the need to reboot regularly) so I put the phone into fastboot mode and used flash_all_lock_crc.sh from the Android 9 (10.0.20.0) fastboot image. https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.20....0.PDLMIXM_20200327.0000.00_9.0_2baf524aaf.tgz

Since I didn't have an Android 11 ROM handy, I left the 10.0.20.0 modem image in there, but it seems to be fine (for my single SIM in slot 2). I guess the modem thing (needing to flash a newer image) only applies to Android 8?

Before I let the phone on the network, I enabled developer mode and turned off automatic updates. Disabling the notification category Google Play Services -> System Update should prevent any prompts to install system updates.

Download remote control software. As far as I remember the majority if not all, allow you to record an IR signal from a remote for playback on your IR port at another time.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sonus:
Its been a while since I've looked into this, as most HTC phones don't come with IR anymore. Since you don't need anything too fancy, my reccomendation would be to see if you can locate any freeware remote control software. Otherwise, you can try some shareware software in the meantime. Probably the most robust and customisable software is this one:

I'm using an unlocked U1 on T-mobile US and just used the google dialer to switch CSC to XAR (Which I don't think you HAVE to do). Just use frija and download SM-F916W region XAC and use Odin patched. Up and running with no issues.

**updated i actually used model SM-F916W region XAC in Frija.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] curiousmileo:
did you have to wipe your phone? Same on T-Mobile and getting antsy waiting
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdielol:
Is there any drawbacks whatsoever for changing your CSC?

Or let me rephrase, do you still have 5G, Wifi Calling, samsung pay, etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
I chose to wipe not sure if you must.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
No drawback at all. Yes I still have all of the above.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaresTaylan:
Which CSC did you use when searching in Frija? XAR returns no results for the SM-F916W.

XAC?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdielol:
After looking on Frija I'm seeing XAR is for SM-F916U1 and it's US based Android 10. Not sure how you got Android 11. If you meant XAC there's no option to change the CSC to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] anuraj1:
And then did you switch your CSC back to TMB?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
My apologies i was running on very little sleep. I did indeed use XAC in Frija. So I suppose you could try leaving it on TMB and flashing since i flashed the XAC version for SM-F916W over XAR on my U1. I do have a bunch of extra dev options though that i'm not sure would be exactly the same. I will confirm later but so far, I haven't found a dialer code on XAR that works to change CSC on version CTLL with XAC. But your sim will automatically flip your network CSC to TMB regardless. I'll update my previous posts thanks for the catch.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
Like i mentioned in my post above, so far, I haven't found a dialer code that opens up the CSC menu on the new version. I'm going to try again shortly but your sim will automatically set your network to TMB. I can say that VOLTE and WFC works much more efficiently for me on the new version. You just have to wait for setup to complete and the WFC option will appear as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
ODIN allowed you to flash SM-F916W firmware on a SM-F916U1 model? Typically cross flashing between models fails when using ODIN and even if it let you, you'd probably be soft-bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] devwest:
This does work. I have tried it. My fold 2 was bought from Samsung unlocked. It now shows the device as SM-F916W. I am with AT&T and 5g doesn't show up but everything else seems to run just fine.

I was also able to go back to u1 firmware with CSC XAA .
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
Yeah the patched ODIN 3.1.4 did work in this case. I did some checking of the partitioning among various regions/versions and the canadian version didn't really require any changes so i thought i'd take a chance. I do have 5G so that tells me you need to apply sales/network CSC of something that isn't carrier locked prior to updating and everything should work ok. That's speculation and my personal experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] aj2019:
Test
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrutchvt10:
I'd be hesitant to do anything with a non-unlocked variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
This isn't surprising at all. Since the Galaxy S8 and Note 8, the U models and the W models have all been cross compatible with firmware. They are actually the same exact device, and the W only indicates it's running Canadian firmware. Just like the U1 indicates it's non-carrier branded and U indicates it's a carrier model. No issues cross flashing at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
916B and 916U are not the same devices. There are hardware differences, so you can't crossflash firmware.

Flashing firmware doesn't do anything to affect the locked or unlocked status. Many, many people here have flashed U1 firmware on locked U devices over the last few years.

Got it! Thankyou so much! So, is there any possible way to get Samsung Pay India app on my US version of Galaxy Fold 2?

[Moto G 2015 General] Dragon_of_Storm:
Hi,

picking an os for daily driver: Look what is currently the newest android (android 11) and pick the last or pre last version, so android 9 or android 10 (and scroll a bit through the most viewed threads if someone has problems or is giving review by saying that it runs smooth; in the end most roms are based on lineageos and although some say they are more performant, hear this: If there were a really good tweak with no bad side effects than lineageos would have already implemented it. So a lineageos rom will do, but better be looking through some threads). This products will have pretty new features but have (nearly) all bugs fixed. E.g. you choose this one: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-10-0-official-crdroid-v6-12-osprey.4075505/ .

There you will see an instruction list, which is good, BUT: You first have to install twrp recovery. Coming from an Samsung Smartphone this was new for me on moto, because now you have to use fastboot to install twrp and go through an unlocking process.

( 0) backup )

1) install drivers

2) get adb and fastboot tools

3) unlock your phone

4) install twrp

0) Backup your data, they may be lost during unlocking

1) Go to https://support.motorola.com/us/en/drivers and download and install the drivers. They are important for windows to speak to your phone.

2) The tools adb and fastboot are part of a larger android sdk which you probably don't want to completley install. But you will also probably want to have an official download link. So the best thing for you will be probably https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools . Downlaod the plattform tools and extract them somewhere.

3) Now you have to go to the official unlocking process and have to create an motrola account for that (just use and 10 minute mail). See this: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a and for further help look at this video:

. You will get some code which you will send to motrola which will send you an unlock code.

4) And after you did the whole stuff including enabling devloper mode and debugging and unlocking in that developers settings and have unlocked your phone, you can use

"./adb.exe reboot bootloader" and " ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-1-osprey.img" to reboot to booloader and install twrp.

Now you can do the steps which are e.g. shown in the above rom thread.

Hope this helps somebody, i first had to get used to that stuff and frist had errors (validation fail and whatever things) in my console with adb and fastboot, but after correctly unlocking and so on it worked.

Greets an thanks for all devlopers empowering such and old phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amazinged:
I had a virtually unused Note 8, on the shelf for a longer time. Just working let's say more than a year ago, nothing to worry about. Until this summer I decided to give it to my mother. Her antique Telfort ( Dutch former provider) SIM did not work when inserted, so it took a while until we requested a new SIM from KPN ( the provider that bought Telfort). The device is completely 'up to date', with the latest updates with security patch from January '21.

Device is now also simply on PHN / PHN / PHN. The SIM is recognized (several SIMs have been tried, also other network-operators). Entering the PIN code is also fine, but there is always that 'mobile network not available' with also the icon on the screen in the statusbar.

What have I already done:

Factory reset, wipe cache, also for all system apps such as SIM toolkit and SIM card management & the Phone app data and cache deleted, forced stopped,

flashed again via ODIN the original latest ROM,

SIM cards from different providers on the different slots .... etc. etc. ..... It is a Dual-SIM, SIM cards are recognized on both slots.

What I am still thinking about, but I do not immediately see the connection, is that I once got call recording working with a Thai SIM in this device. This has not caused any problems in all my other devices of this generation (S7, S8, S9, S10). I have checked Imei number and there shouldn't be a problem with it. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions ?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I think you're suppose to follow the rectangles and make an "X"; if those register after being touched it's working correctly.

If you have an after market screen protector this may screw it up.

If you're inadvertently touching the screen that can screw it up.

Try increasing or decreasing touch sensitivity.

Try enabling accidental touch protection if that's an option.

Clear the system cache on the boot menu.

Try a hard reboot (not reset!!!).

I'm on the latest BUA5 and for me it didn't fix the issue. Maybe it did make it a little bit better, but it is not completely gone. For me the touch issue is so small, I don't mind. I can only encounter the problem in the test app.

My guess is that many who think it is fixed, didn't swipe fingers fast, close or long enough. The problem won't occur if you swipe on the edges of the screen and it won't occur immediately, only after some time.

OR then it is really fixed for some, but then I guess I'm not the lucky one

Samsung will substitute components and smaller chipsets as needed during a production run.

Result unpredictable behavior after firmware updates because the firmware wasn't configured for the substitute chipset.

It's so bad Sammy doesn't know what chipsets were used without physically examining the unit.

You are right. Swiping up and down alternately with two fingers close enough still creates ghost touches, far apart no issue.
