[Introductions] Daiki Asuka Jr.:
Hi all... I'm Asuka Jr. (longtime moniker from anime reference, generally stick with remaining anonymous online, don'cha know...)

I'm a longtime portable electronic device user (oh, Nokia 6010, how I miss ya), and usually carry 3 different Android devices everywhere I go (phone and 2, yes TWO, tablets - One for mostly videos >anime<, the other for general utility, notes and the like).

I've done some minor device modding (PSP hacking back in the day, root and custom firmware on a kindle fire - it's currently charging next to me), but other than the Kindle, have not really delved into custom Android modding, as stock has generally been just fine for my uses...

I'm here because my boss gave me (and my co-worker) a couple of unknown Chinese tablets I'm hoping to root and install a basic Android firmware to (that will allow at least the install and use of MX Player for vids), and I have NO idea where to even start with these things...

Hi!

Since I was young I liked to explore and improve my handys, trough forums and others! Now due to my two little boys and a hard job I don't have time for anything, but promise I'll improve my Huawei P8 Lite with the recomendations and instructions some users gave me!

THANKS FOR YOUR FORUM, HARD WORK AND MILLION HOURS spended!!

Hi all, Here to educate on proper usage and root access install after years of iPhone.

I already love the security features, cleaner and media sharing without metadata > good job on that.

Just 1 flaw is the NetHunter of Kali that require root authorisation or either is marked by your antivirus as dangerous.

Much love all

Hello all.

Not a newbie regarding searching for answers in here. But now I have a contribution to make and so I register to take that step.

I'm the typically Windows guy who knows is way with hardware and little software. Linux is at a discovery moment but I discovered I'm not a coding dude, not at all! I prefer clicking :)

Android auto is a work in progress and let's see what XDA has to offer on that matter :)

There's a lot of knowledge here and I guess I will always find a solution in here.

See you soon.

Like a lot of people have been a lurker and occasionally posted for a very, very long time. I'm back now that I switched back from Iphone. I just got a Motorola RAZR which I see having a TON of potential, lots of cool stuff on it. My all time favorite phone was the Nexus 5 and the development on here for it was unreal.

[Introductions] Marfragift:
Hi all, I am a 56-year old woman, trying to get to grips with some of the things that goes on in life. I like to fix things myself but most of the time I am not successful, so I have a lot to learn and room for improvement. I am interested in learning as much as I can on mobile phones and computers, but I have not qualifications on IT or anything like those subjects, so my learning is a lot by trial and error. I am trying to teach myself python, but it is not going that well. I get bored... However, as I like to fix my own things I have been told to join this XDA forum. It does look daunting - I don't even pretend to understand the jergon that you most use, but I am here...
[Introductions] Marfragift:
My Cubot X50 NFC function stopped working. I made a payment in a coffee shop and 4 minutes later I could not use it anymore. The NFC function was dead, even when I had done nothing different. I have reset it the phone, to no avail. although the Google Wallet states that the NFC is on, it does not even vibrate when attempting to pay with it. Can anybody help me, please?

[Introductions] Daxmark:
Hi everyone. My story: Having installed LineageOS 18.1 to my J7 2015 J700M, I ended up with wrong IMEI, giving the "Emergency Calls only" message.

Searching for solutions, i I ended up seeing deep posts about how the efs partition works, nv_data files and more.

I know that there is paid services that can restore my IMEI, but with some Software Engeenering background, I'm now atracted to the idea of making workarounds with this files to get my IMEI back.

If someone can guide me, where to start to do my homework, i'm open to hear all your ideas. I know that is an hard task, but I'm commitment to make advances at an slow pace 🧑‍💻.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody, I've been in and out for 5years and now bother to register,

My XDA story is this:

At first there was no Internet. then it came and I was drawn to it from the inside out so I became Sysadmin and life was good for 20y but there was no Blockchains..

(...)

now I'm here to root tvboxes to make crypto nodes for "minting" rewards for dVPN nodes (not mining)

H96 Max RK3566 8GB --> I have working full root on 1 with some custom ROM and Magisk

Wechip V10 H616 4GB --> Root switch not very permissive (help)

edit: the Endgame being to run Armbian Linux instead of Android ;)

[Introductions] pauljulian:
I've been on XDA for, it seems, eons, through many devices and service vendors...

Likely more than 10 years, but I really don't tend to ascribe a lot of relevance to the number of years being on a place like this for, like, ever... LOL.

I'm currently the dubious owner of a T-Mobile REVVL V 4g (TMRVL4G)... a Wingtech/MediaTek device which is relatively obscure, I admit.

I responded to someone else on another thread that it's less that the vendors want to make rooting and all a challenge... keeps noobs from breaking their phones... it's that they all seem to be "Hold my beer and watch this" regarding making it nigh impossible to tweak without a copy of the vendors' support software on my PC... Did a short-term gig at Sprint's El Paso support team, and there's a way to do what we need... there's always a way.

I'm a 65-year-old Army vet, IT geek, and former radio/TV broadcaster in various capacities... I still keep my tech chops sort of up-to-date to scrape the cobwebs off the little grey cells, have done software development in the past, as I've an AA in it, but my coding chops are seriously out of date... I do Delphi, Code-Typhon, FoxPro, and a bunch of other off=the=wall things, but the change in symbology for C and C++ throws me... Pascal flavors don't seem to need all the differences in brackets, and all... LOL.

I'm, sadly, officially a senior citizen, but a willing guinea pig for any developers around here for any device I've used over the years of my membership here.

[Introductions] netra3441:
Hi alltogether, this is Netra3441.

I am an elder and severly handicaped person rolling in the wheelchair.

For me in my special situation the communication via a smartphone is highly important to survive and to have contact to the outer world. So I own a seven years old Samsung Galaxy S7, wich still runs properly, and I had upgraded it to LOS 19.1 using the very great and honourable work of XDA-member Ivan Meler!

For the very most people like me it is impossible spend money for new hardware.

So, it is a gift and a great pleasure for us, that you guys of XDA and of LOS do this work and help us folks in poverty allover the world to keep our old, but good mobile hardware with actual Android.

My respect and deep gratitude!

Thank you all!

But I am not just have a benefit about LOS.

I do help friends in my enviroment on strictly voluntary basis to get their mobile hardware upgraded to LOS, as far as possible technically. I also do help friends on strictly voluntary basis with their PCs and notebooks installing Linux on it. Myself I use Linux since more than 25 years.

Greetings to you all,

[Introductions] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hi Netra3441

Thank you sharing your heart warming story on how free development can be so meaningful in our lives. I'm sure @Ivan_Meler will be thrilled to read this and it will be an extra motivation for all our established developers but also those that are taking their very first steps in the wonderful world of Android development.

It doesn't always have to be a financial motivation. I'm convinced that all the continued development for legacy devices on XDA and far beyond has already had a tremendous positive impact on our climate.

On behalf of our team I warmly welcome you and others in similar situations to the XDA family :)

Cheers!

Hiya all,

I have been aware of this forum for years, but have always been too nervous to do anything with my phone (which is generally always old) in fear of bricking it. There seems to be a lot of useful info on here and also a lot of very knowledgeable people. I hope I can learn a bit from you all, and if I can, help in the long run, however currently my knowledge in this field would make that a real stretch.

Still, live and learn.

Hey
[Introductions] Timmmmaaahh!:
Oh man, I remember when I wiped that /system partition for the first time: absolute fear! 😅 And then at one time it bootlooped: "OMG! I DESTROYED MY PHONE!" 😭 Haha, always worked out, though! Android is awesome like that. Out of the thousands of flashes I only hard bricked a device once. The first OnePlus One! Arrived fresh in the box, instantly flashed another ROM, messed around with it a bit and then accidentally (via batch file) locked the bootloader and it was dead. Brand new phone. Took me a bunch of time with OnePlus support - horribly slow back then - to try and fix it but eventually they sent me a replacement, all shipping charges covered. Whew! Anyway, it's usually very safe and there's almost always a way to recover your system. Just make backups, lots of backups! Can't have enough of those. Welcome! The community has your back ;)

Hi. I am new to XDA, and it was recommended to me by a Samsung tech support person who understood that Samsung does not provide the functionality needed by me, and by anyone else for whom the create date and last modify date is vital to our business. About me: I had an IT consulting firm for almost 20 years where we specialized in data security and software development predominantly for Wall Street firms. That business was essentially shut down in 2002, so I have been out of the field for 20+ years. I still consider myself a techy.

[Introductions] Xexile:
Brand new to XDA I'm here specifically to find a solution for my S8 active

I would like to install an operating system what would be considered the stock operating system had not I purchased my phone from AT&t

The phone is bought and paid for years ago unlocked to use on other carrier networks

I don't know a lot about phones and installing operating systems used to mess around and do some Windows computer work for friends reinstall operating systems find solutions I stopped shortly after Windows XP/ vista seems like back then overnight some of the forums I was using became extremely condescending and dysfunctional wasn't looking for competition ridicule just answers.

Any advice is to set my compass to a direction in forums but for now I'm going to continue familiarizing myself with The basic noob friendly forms

👍

I imagine this is going to be a fairly simple task 🤞

Because the operating system was made for the phone originally

I'm slightly confused about S8 S8+

It's an active considered a 8+ model?
[Introductions] Oswald Boelcke:
Hello and good afternoon, @Xexile

Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.

It looks to me that the Samsung Galaxy S8 active is the AT&T version of the S8. You might want to scan this forum regarding your question:
