[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] vinokirk:
I've seen similar things before, with the old Sony UX UMPC, they figured out to solder another 1GB or RAM on top of the existing 1GB RAM :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Royal Guard 007:
Nice, it's basically the same thing on the S9 in theory. You de-solder the SoC from the original phone, you get the SoC (the same SoC with different Ram capacity)that you want from an other phone and then you solder it on the original phone. I was wondering if there was a software compatibility issue. You could de-solder the Dram chip that is located on top of the SoC but I think that's a little bit more complicated. I have never done this, I've only seen photos of the motherboard of the S9 and how it's made.

I am thinking of doing something like removing the app store and package installer after rooting. In the past I have tried a lot of distraction removal apps but I found loopholes to get through them somehow. So I want a permanent solution now.

I have some questions though! How would app update work now? Can I do it with adb after day 4 to 6 months?

I don't see any other option. I have found ways through all other apps.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Zealest:
Hello!

I'm a total novice in this and I admit that maybe I shouldn't have gotten into it. Here's my story: I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) and I bought it in France (I don't know what kind of model it is exactly). Last June I had installed crDroid 6.7 without any problem, and yesterday I thought that it's been a long time since I updated the OS so I wanted to upgrade to crDroid 7.2. But this upgrade didn't suit me at all because I hadn't installed the right GApps packages.

So I formatted everything thanks to TWRP but the mistake is that I checked everything in "Advanced wipe" so I find myself without any firmware nor anything. I searched for a few hours for a stock G960F firmware compatible with my phone blindly because I don't know my precise model. On Odin, it's always blocked at the "recovery.img" step. The only time it went further than that, there was a "fail" and an error was and is still displayed: "An errror has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software".

Here's what I'm wondering: did I totally brick my phone and it's a waste of time? Or I'm just looking wrong and I downloaded the wrong firmware all the time. (I'd like to go back to the basic Galaxy OS, i.e. One UI, but I have to install the stock firmware first, right?)

Thanks for reading, I know it's stupid of me to want to do something without a tutorial or anything, sorry :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] vinokirk:
Your exact model will be SM-960F, you can check this in 'Download Mode'. I'm sure you know how to get into that as you mention you're using Odin. Third line down, look for 'Product Name'.

If you can get into Download Mode, then its likely not hard bricked.

Try getting your firmware from sammobile, take a few hours in free mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Zealest:
by exact model, I mean like the "PDA" or "CSC" ; by the way I don't really know what this stands for and what is it exactly.

On SAMMobile should I download a firmware of my country (France) or something else? is it that important?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Zealest:
** The downloads are extremely slow, shouldn't I download my firmware through a third-party software like Frija ?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bxsteez:
How did u set coreplayer to open streams?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
change the file association within core player, think mms is the one for alot of streams but i just checked them all except jpeg and other images.

The channel chooser website is good, i been using http://www.streams4pda.com/tv.htm for a long time too, same kind of thing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bxsteez:
duhhhh i completely forgot i could do that inside core player. I was using advanced config to change the file associations and it didn't seem to work... Thanks!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] P2xl:
Is blue tint on pixel 2xl dangerous for eyes?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raiz:
I (med student) am pleased that my knowledge can be shared here. I'm still a student and not an expert in ophthalmology, but I have basic knowledge about the matter.

In general, blue light has more effect on your brain than your eyes themselves, it keeps you awake. Reading mode or "night mode" or every other features that adds a red filter to your screen is made to filter blue light, thus not keeping you awake.

The main thing that's harmful to your eyes are the intensity of the light, the intensity contrast (a moderate light in a bright environment won't be harmful, but the same intensity in a dark room will surely harm your eyes in the long run), and the focus.

What I mean by the focus is that every activity (would it be reading books, reading on a screen, examining very small objects, ...) that forces your eye to accommodate (=focus) a long period of time or repeatedly is to be throughly limited by pauses in the viewing effort. Otherwise it could lead to acquired astigmatism or hypermetropia.

Often your works requires you to work on a screen nowadays, but you shall make pauses (I'd say 5min each hours) to rest your eyes.

The pauses to "rest your eyes" should consist in viewing as far as your glance can reach, perfect if you're in a building, or high up. That exercice will rest your eye's muscles and preserve your sight longer.

Have a good day ;)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mghia:
This is my first attempt to root and despite reading allot still very confused on allot of the lingo and what to do. I had unlocked the bootloader with TWRP.

I tried rooting with Magisk 21.4 and it sent me into a boot loop and I did not realize a backup in Switch was not the same as in TWRP so had to learn how to put stock firmware back with LGUP.

I have US996 running Adroid 8.0 Kernel 3.18.71 software, OPR1.170623.032 build.US99620F Never rooted. Bootloader unlocked TWRP

Next day Magisk 22 came out

The app is on the phone, I am looking at the instructions and confused how to root.

1. is "patching", rooting?

2. I just want the root on stock Android 8.0.0

I need the boot .img of what? Of the stock android 8? Of something else?

3. I tried getting a boot image from LG Extract but only saw a DZ file and if I tried to extract that only see something with the word " boot_6 Bin" So I am still missing something on how this is done.

Is the boot.img usually of the software you want to try running or always the stock? Do you have to root eac time you try different or once rooted always rooted to flash other roms?

Thanks for any guidence. I tried on my own for days and really lost on all this.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mghia:
Hi,

What is the best way to ask for help on this? Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mghia:
I still am requesting help. I need to root my US996 so I can get at least PIE running as I have an issue with an app that says it requires 9 or above.

If somebody can point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Bill720:
On Alpha Omega Rom, I had the best results with the included Magisk installer. It's now on version 22 without any issue. Keep in mind that version 20.2 might have some compatibility issues with the V20. That won't have any impact on your ability to run software that requires Android 9, however.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mghia:
This is how new I am with this stuff. What is an alpha omega rom? Does that mean stock factory rom of Android 8?

I have version 22 on my phone. Do I need to root? How do I root? I do not understand how this works now. I have tried reading help files but I dont understand what to do after I unlocked the bootloader.

What do I need next with Magisk 22 to root the phone or do I just need a rom of Android 9 or higher?

Thanks for any guidence.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Bill720:
Alpha Omega Rom is a custom build of the V20 system software based on LG's original stock Rom (see the links thread for more information). For the North American variants of the V20, several releases of the stock Rom based on Android 7 and Android 8 were released. Only the Korean model received a stock Rom based on Android 9, and it was never backported, so, if it's Android 9 (or newer) that you're after, you'll have to go for one that's not based on the stock rom (which will cause you to lose certain exclusive features, including the stock camera app, FM radio, Voice-over-LTE, and probably other things).

Once Magisk Manager is installed, it can act as a root manager, but only if your device's bootloader is already unlocked, which can only be done on certain variants (US996 North American unlocked is the easiest, but it is possible on some of the others as well, but only if you roll back to an exploitable version of the stock rom and use the Dirty Santa strategy described on this forum). Installing an unofficial Rom or kernel also requires an unlocked bootloader.

[Android Head-Units] quixcraiova:
Hello, i have YT9216B 2gb ram, 32 rom flashed with rom token from 4pda forum. Everything works, but only gps not works as it should be. In settings menu when i start gps it starts, sometimes not finds satelites, but when finds them, it finds 8 to 11 satelites, but still not recieving data and location services . Before flashing the unit all worked well. My antenna were located inside of my central console behind the headunit. Now even with gps antenna positioned under front window (with clear sky view) it still not works. If i make hotspot it detects me, but if there is no Internet connection there is no detection. I've tryed almost everything i know, gps fix programs, but still nothing. Is it possible this issue to be because of the rom i've used? Any suggestions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KriXou:
Hi everyone,

first post on xda forum, but long time reading...

Anyway, I want to create a Diamond version of FinalBurn CE (greaaat emulator) but I can't contact the project owner (his modaco messagebox is full).

My wish is to replace the d-pad action with capacitive touch panel input. In fact, I already managed to catch touch input and simulate d-pad input but I need to do this in the program itself...

Does anyone knows this developper (Hao Zhang) ?

Has anyone access to FinalBurnCE source code ?

Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KriXou:
So no news until now...

sadly
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OopsWare:
hi KriXou

i have the same thought, but still many problem.

the APIs HTCNavOpen HTCNavClose HTCNavSetMode from HTCAPI.dll is not enough. Because we can receive WM_USER+209 when press or release the touch pad only. can NOT got MOVE event. so i disassembly that dll and found more APIs .

typedef struct tagHTCTOUCH_DATA

{

BYTE Where;

BYTE Unknown1;

BYTE xPosLP;

BYTE Unknown2;

BYTE yPosLP;

BYTE Unknown3;

BYTE Angle;

BYTE Unknown4;

BYTE xPosRP;

BYTE Unknown5;

BYTE yPosRP;

BYTE Unknown6;

} HTCTOUCH_DATA;

DWORD CALLBACK NavCallBack(HTCTOUCH_DATA *, int nSize, UINT);

DWORD HTCNavGetData(HWND, HTCTOUCH_DATA *);

DWORD HTCNavRegisterCallback(HWND, PCALLBACKFUNC, UINT);

this two api take effect after HTCNavSetMode(hWnd, 0x0008); so we can got the touch pad data in realtime . but the APIs based on Windows Event mechanism, when emulator occupied most cpu resources, the data we got will be delayed, even can't got the release event.

do you have any good idea ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KriXou:
hi OopsWare,

i did find the same things, you can't do more than waiting for the event. In fact this is due to the way the message (event) is sent : it seems to be added to the windows message queue in a non-blocking way (cf PostMessage vs SendMessage apis).

in my mind, the solution would be to try with a callback mechanism, but it didn't manage to do so...

are you working with final burn sources or an external-background-program ?

It would be very helpful if you guys could please give me some feedback if the script works for you.

Which device are you using?

Your Android version?

Did you disable dm-verity and verification before running the script?

Your suggestions to enhance the script. Remember this is only version 1.0

Thanks!

@thor_1979
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brepro1:
Great work! Your donation to the developers community is awesome.

The script works perfectly.

Consider keeping going. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
Are you serious it actually works on your device? lmao

Congratulations. You are the first person to try it :D

The script pretty much does the same thing as your awesome tutorial describes.

Without your tutorial this script would not exist so thank you very much for making it available!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techguy777:
How do I use it? I'm really wanting to make my system rw again and this is perfect but how do I use it? It's a tar and Xz?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
Simply extract the downloaded archive and open a terminal shell in the extracted folder by right clicking inside it and select Open in Terminal

Then run this command if you're running it for the first time

./makesysrw.sh size=100

or this command if you already have your raw super.img file

./makesysrw.sh in=./existing_super_image.img size=100

If you can't launch the script file make sure it is executable on your computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techguy777:
I really don't understand how this works why do you need the storage space is it making a system img that you than flash? I thought it just makes the current system read writable so you can install and uninstall system apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techguy777:
Thanks I'm supposed to run the shell from my pc terminal or on the android device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techguy777:
Sorry I see its for linux users. Ok now im getting it I have ubuntu 14 on my hard drive but I need to reinstall the grub menu because I deleted it or something. I have a s10 lite and tab S6 I would love to make the writable on the system so does this make a backup or dump of your system and than you flash it? Do you guys think thatll work on one ui 2.5 and im on lineage 18.1 on my s10 lite
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
Well in a nutshell this is what the script is doing:

dumps your existing super image to your pc

extracts the embedded read-only partitions (system, vendor, product, etc...)

makes these partitions read-write-able

joins everything back together to new flashable super.img

flashes it to device

User data is not affected.

The script is telling you exactly what's happening under the hood. You can also check out the source code if you have any doubts.

Yes this version of the script is supposed to be run on a Linux computer.

Please report back if it works for you or not.

Lineage OS? Doesn't that have a read-write-able system by default? In that case the script will likely fail.

Please keep in mind this script has been developed on Android 10 (Xiaomi X3 NFC) with a system that's read-only.
