[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] gadomido:
MI 10 Ultra now discounted to same price of Mi 11 .Would you suggest MI 10 ultra over mi 11 ?

Please help.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] blabba:
Depends on what you value.

1. Do you care about 1st party official ROMS and guaranteed coverage with your network provider? Then mi 11 because it has an official launch outside of china.

2. Do you care more about camera performance? Then the mi 10 ultra probably better fits the bill. More sensors and periscope for zoom shooting.

Overall for most people I would recommend the mi 11 over the mi 10 ultra, unless photo/video versatility is the only thing your looking for in a phone.

Thank you .I ordered Mi 10 ultra .The camera is essential for me .
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ligament121:
Pretty simple question with an answer I can't seem to find. I've scoured through all of my apps but to no avail.

My s8 has the banner ads for the same app. My s20+ shows no banner ads at all. For that app or any app. I'm wondering why this is and how I can turn it on and off. Some apps won't let you fully access everything with them blocked. Hence me wanting to turn them on when I can. And since day 1 last year, I don't remember any ads being shown on the s20+.

Any help towards me solving this is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] It_ler:
Are you using VPN (virtual private network)?

You can check in Settings > Connections.

Many adblocker apps are using VPN connections to "block" ads.

I heard that Samsung intregrated something like "Save" or "Secure" wifi into newer Android devices. Maybe this is enabled on your phone / wifi network, and also using VPN, which blocks some banner ads. AFAIK you can disable this secure wifi option ... or add your wifi network to the list of trusted networks which does not need to be "secured".

[General Questions and Answers] TOTHT0MI:
Hi there, I have the same issue and I've decided to reverse engineer Google Files to find the solution for this. It is highly obfuscated, so I may be wrong, but I'm confident, that our data is lost.

You see I've reverse engineered most of the encryption/decryption, and one thing worries me.

The PIN/Pattern you enter is encrypted by a master key which is retrieved from the AndroidKeyStore.

So unless you can get your hands on that master key, which you actually cannot,

WE CAN NOT DECRYPT THE FILES, as the key for it is our pin which is encrypted by the master key with added salt of 256 bytes.

Also if you install Files and setup safe folder again, that key is over written, so this is the cause behind Files not recognizing the encrypted back ups.

Also the encryption alg posted here is not correct, as I did not found traces of ChaCha while doing searching. There are many ciphers here, but ones I've found (these are used for encrypting the pin/pattern at least, not sure whether these are used for actual file encryption) are:

AES/GCM/NoPadding and PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1.

(p.s: again may be wrong here, as heavy obfuscation is present, took me hours, but I'm confident that sadly this is the case)

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Tux-Box1:
I'm getting back in to android development after about 10 years of focusing on other projects. I started searching on how I could get my lm-g710ulm unlocked, rooted and pull the drivers so I can get started. Fun times.

I came across different references to various tools and decided to look them up. This is when I ran in to "LGup" and "LGflash".

So for those of you who are more up to speed on these, what's the difference? From the sites description they seem to do the same thing. Why should one be used over the other and what pro's/con's are?

Thank you for your time.

You need to flash it again:

- fully charge your magician ( remove battery cover and plug in the charger )

- after you start your magician in bootloader ( You press power button + camera, and hit reset with stylus )

- download the rom u want ( magician wiki has loads of them and dont forget to disable USB Connections on Active Sync )

- and use matupgradenoid if you have country id error.

I had a similar problem. I tried to flash the ext ROM with NZ Vodaphone and it didn't finish. The Phone would boot then hard reset. I tried to reflash with the ROM file from PC but it keep failing. Luckily I have a spare Jam. I dump the ROM of the old phone and reflashed it to the broken one. To dump the ROM of a good Imate Jam goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=230151

Once you have done this, Reboot your phone into the ROM flash menu with the SDCARD that you used from the good phone into yours.

I think from there it sees the ROM files and gives you options to reflash.

Good luck.

I can get into TWRP and re-flash LineageOS, but it's still stuck in the bootloop.

How do I get the phone working again?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncle-sam:
I used for unlocking in 2015 the xperia flashtool but it doesn't seem to work properly under win10.

Last year I flashed my phone via the Sony flashtool "Emma". If you're using this it will automatically recognize the phone in flashmode and show possible images for download and flash.

It could be hard to get the drivers set up right under win 10. I suggest to do this on an device running win 7 or older. I got it somehow running under win 10 but i can not reproduce how it finally worked. Maybe it works out of the box with Emma. I was struggling with flashtool and finally trying with Emma it worked with my bugged driver setup.

But i don't know if it is possible to get rid of the encryption that way (flashing an original system image) but i am assuming it should work and seems like the last option you have.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkadione:
Thank you! I will try tonight. I only have a Windows 10 system to use ( and lots of linux systems) so I'll just have to try and make it work.

I don't think the encryption actually worked. it just crashed. i didn't realize that the LOS18 rom didn't support encryption, a stupid stupid mistake that is going to cost me lots of time now. note for other newbies: never enable encryption!

thanks for confirming what my next steps should be.

I wish you good luck! If you get Emma working out of the box please report. This would give me a better feeling about playing around with this phone.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] holgers0n:
Hey everyone,

im trying to unlock the bootloader of my LG G5, but am unable to do so as the phone is not detected at all when in fastboot mode.

While it is recognized just fine as an adb device, after rebooting into fastboot mode via adb reboot bootloader it is not recognized as an USB Device in Windows (The device manager does not show any device with wrong drivers and does not react to replugging the device). I also tried it on a different machine with the same results.

Ubuntu also does not recognize the device at all, lsusb does not output the device anywhere. It also does get recognized as an adb device when booted up normally.

I installed the necessary (I tried LG and Google) drivers and tried different USB ports (2.0 and 3.0) and cables. The phone just is not noticed as an usb device at all when in fastboot mode.

Could this be due to a broken usb port? Which seems odd because the phone is recognized when not in fastboot mode.

What else could cause this weird behaviour?

Thank You!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] User699:
Just to be clear. After you booted into fastboot mode, did you try

fastboot devices

and it just showed nothing?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] paulhauth25:
Do you have usb debugging on because some devices require it to be on in order to be able to use fastboot on the computer.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
In addition to ADB and Fastboot you have to install the "Android USB Driver" that is suitable to your phone, too, to get Fastboot working.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] holgers0n:
I forgot to mention that, oem unlock and USB debugging is enabled.

I tried installing the LG and android USB driver. But there is no way I can install these drivers to my fastboot device, as it is not recognized as an USB device at all, its like I'm plugging an USB cable with nothing attached to it into the computer.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
The "Android USB Driver" is a Windows OS driver, hence it must get installed in Windows OS.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] holgers0n:
Yes i am aware of that. As mentioned i installed the driver, my phone is recognized as an adb device. I have seen some solutions suggesting installing the driver manually when the fastboot device is not recognized correctly but the device is not recognized at all. I also tried installing the drivers as legacy hardware (Android ADB interface, Android Bootloader Interface etc.) via device manager, which results in an error ( error code 10, device can not be started)

No more clues by me.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] User699:
@holgers0n

I tried lsusb on my Xiaomi (I don't have lg) and it worked in fastboot also.

Since it doesn't show anything if you do fastboot devices, you could try to do the standard things:

1) Change usb port on your computer

2) Try another cable

3) If it's a usb type c, plug it into your smartphone, try if it works and if it doesn't, try around that cable and retry.

I am not 100 % sure but since you said

maybe you need to install non-free firmware as well.
