[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pascal536:
Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 series earlier this year with impressive camera features. Now, the company is rolling out some of those camera-related features to its older high-end smartphones, including the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series, via a new software update.

With the new update, which is rolling out in Germany right now, the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note 20, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have received new camera features. Users can now capture portrait images in low-light conditions, something that was earlier possible only with the Galaxy S21 series. The Night Mode also works with the ultrawide camera.

The company has also added three new effects in the Portrait mode: backdrop, high-key mono, and low-key mono. These studio-like effects let you change the background color to black, white, or a random color that is chosen by the camera app. In Night mode, users can now let the camera choose the exposure or use the maximum possible exposure. Moreover, the ultrawide camera can now be used in the camera’s Pro mode.

For those who were hopeful of getting the Galaxy S21’s Director View on their Galaxy S20 or Galaxy Note 20 series phone, there is some bad news. None of those phones have received the Director’s View feature, most probably because of limitations in the processor’s ISP (image signal processor).

The new software update has firmware version G98xxXXU7DUC7 for the Galaxy S20 series and N98xxXXU1DUC8 for the Galaxy Note 20 series. If you are in Germany, you can check for the update on your Galaxy S20 or Galaxy Note 20 series device by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. The update could roll out to more markets over the next few weeks.

Can anyone here help please. I have the A unlocked Samsung A715F/DS A71 4g Snapdragon 730 8GB Ram

dual sim.It has A Turkey firmware on it.

The current firmware is A715FXXU3ATK1 Android 10

Would this be ok to change the Firmware country ?

Should work, but IDK if turkish language is included. And if you want to keep your data, make sure to use Home_CSC file in CSC section of Odin.

BTW you can check and download Samsung firmware files with Frija.

excuse me for my english, but how i do to increase speaker volume?

i'have just been push lateral botton, but the volume is very very low!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emilceteras:
remove the protection foil from the screen if this is the one shipped with. This one doesn't have holes for speaker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] upm15:
Yes.This is the 1st you need to do when you power up your device. I almost return my diamond to the company for complaining extremely low earpiece volume.What a shame!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Café King:
I try to use Samsungs Private Share app and it gives me this error:

"You can't use Private Share because we can't read your phone number from your SIM, which we use as an ID. Contact the service provider for your SIM card and ask them to add your phone number to your SIM as the MSISDN."

I have talked to my phone operator 3 times and they tell me that the setup in their system looks good.

And when I look under "About phone" it says unknown phone number. I already got a new sim card, but no luck.

Any thoughts, guys?

Thank you in advance 😊

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Bomn:
I think it's a validation thingy, try this:

Open contacts, press the 3 dashesand select the gear on the top right (Settings on the contacts app).

Select "Share profile pictures"

It will ask youto activate profile sharing and will verify your number via SMS (kinda like 2 factor) after you do that the number will be verified and will appear on the phone settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] smartiescoke:
Didnt work for me, im using Note 20 Ultra Exynos. Sim 1 is ok, but my eSim phone number still unknown.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] androidloveRs3104:
Same with my s22 ultra. Esim number unknown. Sim 1 is ok. Please let me know if you find any solution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try this.

Try clearing the data in Sim toolkit, network reset and clear the system cache from the boot menu.

I downloaded and installed this yesterday. So far, I haven't encountered any issues or found anything that doesn't work. Good job!!!!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Cool, thanks for info!

Did you just dirty updated or wiped?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
I always use the recovery program and go all the way back to stock before installing a ROM. It takes more time and is more complicated that way but if I encounter a problem, I know it's the new ROM and not carryover garbage from the old one.

So far, everything is working. VoLTE, GPS, QS Tiles, etc. Battery life seems good. Performance is good. No crashes or reboots.

Seems to be solid.

Thank you. Your work and efforts are appreciated.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] efuston:
I'm gonna dirty flash on top of the dpcioc build from the previous thread. I had to wipe data to get that one to boot coming from the asineth build. I'll let you know what happens.

EDIT: Doesn't work. lol
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shylonite:
Hi I'm new to custom roms. What is the difference between the first zip file with images and the 2nd zip file on this post? Thanks!

Never mind. I posted my question before the files downloaded and clearly see the differences afterwards.

Update: Great success!!! Had 0 issues installing this. Thank you for the code as well!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
I finally tried to install. Dirty flash over asineth's LOS 17.1.

Sideload did not worked phone rebooted and entered into TWRP. So I tried flashing from fastboot and that worked. I lost apps, but it remebered my PIN.

I have only one issue - hotspot works, but when I turn it off, phone reboots.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
I never use hotspot so I hadn't checked it out. I tried it and my phone reacts the same way as yours does.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aasdnivj:
SO as I understand there is no need a computer for this
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aasdnivj:
SO this my very first time doing this and just wanted to be clear do I or do I not need a computer
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Even though if you have unlocked phone I'd still recommend use computer and first zip with images.

Hi, it's just updaed LOS. Nothing regarding device.

I'll try to merge github repos with some updated and then buid new version later.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mcsoap:
No idea how these files differ, which one do I use or how.

No idea what this means or why is it important and listed as second most important paragraph.

Don't know what that means.

Don't know what `fastbootd` mode is.

Doesn't work, after reboot the command line says "waiting for any devices". Can't continue.

Every year I try some Android device and venture to XDA to try some custom ROMs. It never works.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
This is a very stable and well presented ROM. It is also very easy to install.

I'm not trying to be a ****, but with all the questions you have, you obviously have no idea what you are doing! If other people are successfully installing and using a ROM and you can't, the problem is not the ROM.

For starters, is your bootloader unlocked? If not, you need to do that before trying anything. If you don't know how, use search.

Most of your answers are here

Do your homework first and read everything you can.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Banana_sam:
So after a few days everything still seems really good. One flaw I've just realized is that screen recorder doesn't work and forces the phone to restart after launching.

Not really a deal breaker for me since I very rarely use the app and its not really necessary for my purposes. Just thought I'd test it out, since I think I remember seeing in another thread here how this was happening with another custom rom for this device
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
This is true. The ones from the play store will work.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
OK, thanks for information. I can verify that the bug is there, it restarted.

I merged github repos with some more updated (Odin1101) and it's compiling.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Sorry to hear, but you know as it was suggested to you - try to study a little bit more before. Hope you can make it next time.

The hotspot now works without crashing. Screen recorder is still broken but it is also broken on other roms. Screen recorders from the play store work fine.

Great job! Your work and contribution to the community is always appreciated.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Thanks for trying and reply, hotspot works also for me.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Psyb3rN4ut:
Just tried to flash, used twrp to boot to fastbootd mode and followed the instructions, bootloader is unlocked, but the device (sofia) just boots back to fastboot mode, adb sideload also fails. Anyone can give advice?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheShanMan:
Thanks for doing this! I was considering switching over to another rom because asineth's hasn't been updated but I'm really glad to see I can stick with LOS for my wife's phone! Hopefully this will lead to it becoming an officially supported phone!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
First, I'm not questioning your abilities in any way. You asked for advice.

1.) TWRP is currently not the most stable platform on the g8 family. That is why I'm still on the stock recovery. It just works better. Seriously consider going back to stock.

2.) Is your adb up to date? From other threads, this can be an issue and can cause problems. If in doubt, uninstall and download the latest version you can find.

3.) Try booting into your bootloader without going through TWRP. From your bootloader, try using adb to boot into fastbootd and then follow the guide.

4) Are you coming from stock or another ROM? Your best result will be coming from stock. Consider flashing back to stock if coming from another ROM.

That's the basic things I know that could hang you up. Post back and let us know if this worked.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Vetal_ca:
What about camera? Is it stock app? All lenses working?

Another one, I like gestures. E.g., chopping for flash light and rotating for camera. Will it just work with Moto or some other app?

Does screen cast work ?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Psyb3rN4ut:
booting to stock recovery just shows android logo with "no command" and after some time boots back to fastboot mode. I have succeeded to get into fastbootD only using:

$ fastboot boot twrp.img

$ adb reboot fastboot

When in bootloader mode adb doesnt work, and the device is not shown by:

$ adb devices

"fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target" is the output of:

$ fastboot reboot fastboot

{adb,fastboot} version 9.0.0_p3-r1

I am coming from stock rom...however i tried to flash crdroid first and it also failed, so perhaps that is an issue.

Once in fastbootD mode i have followed the instructions several times:

$ fastboot set_active a

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot flash system system.img

$ fastboot flash product product.img

$ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

$ fastboot -w

$ fastboot reboot

However I am returned to regular fastboot mode after seeing the motorola logo and a warning about the bootloader being unlocked...the system doesnt even begin to boot.

When in twrp recovery after command:

$ fastboot boot twrp.img

It asks for password to decrypt data, bypassing with "cancel", and attempt to sideload:

$ adb sideload lineage-17.1-20210329-UNOFFICIAL-sofiar.zip

returns:

adb: sideload connection failed: closed

adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...

adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: closed

AND twrp is stuck in sideload mode with error:

E: Unable to get child ID
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Hi Vetal_ca,

camera is LineageOS stock. If you install install gcam (from Telegram group) 3/4 lenses works for me. You have to install gcam service provider.

Chopping for flashlight works for me, but I don't use other gestures.

Screen cast I didn'd tested.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ogkennyhobo:
I unlocked the bootloader and was able to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", but then when I try to "fastboot flash system system.img" I get:

Any thoughts? Mine is the sofia XT2041-4. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
I flashed TWRP to recovry from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/sofia-p-r-recovery-wip-twrp-3-4-0-0.4128353/

fastboot flash recovery twrp_xyz.img

And then flashed images as suggested. It worked for @asineth's ROM, it worked for this one also in my case
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sifrax:
Hi ogkennyhobo,

qick google search suggested different model of phone. I'm not realy sure about compatibiility, Moto G Power and Moto G8 Power. I have XT2041-3 (Moto G8 Power).
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
Make sure you are in fastbootd and not just fastboot. Also, you may also want to try flashing the product.img prior to system.img.

I'm using the XT2041-4 also and this ROM absolutely installs on it.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
This really sounds like an adb issue.

Update your adb/platform tools.

Latest ones here;

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ogkennyhobo:
When I use the official tools (instead of the minimal ones) I get the following error on "fastboot flash system system.img":

Resizing 'system_a' FAILED (remote: '')

fastboot: error: Command failed
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
???????? I am running out of ideas!!

Try to install the product.img before the system.img. I have read where others have had to switch the install sequence around with other roms in order for it to work.

Edit: Before you started, was USB debug enabled in Developer Options?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img

error: cannot load 'boot.img': No such file or directory"

What do I do? I already unlocked the bootloader and used "fastboot set_active a"

I am using 3-29-2021-images for the img files
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ogkennyhobo:
You are the man. I was in fastboot, not fastbootd. What a way to spend the afternoon!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ogkennyhobo:
Make sure you unzip all the files in the same folder you're running adb/fastboot from...
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
Tried moving the 3-29-2021-images folder into minimal adb's program files. Didn't work.

Deleted the images folder from the program files and tried using 7zip to zip the images folder into the minimal adb's program files. Access denied.

Edit: tried moving 3-29-2021-images folder to program files x86, which is where my minimal adb's files are located. Still didn't work.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
Now that I think about it, am I not in fastbootD? I used the stock method of powering off my system and using volume-down + power. I do not have TWRP.

My phone currently says "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)"
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ogkennyhobo:
You need to have the 4 .img files sitting in the same folder as adb/fastboot. The easiest way I found to get into fastbootd was to enable USB debugging and connect the phone, then "adb reboot fastboot" from a command line instead of using the keys on the phone.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
It worked. Thanks. Should I boot system or product next? I think some user were having problems because of the order.

Edit: tried flashing system as the 2nd flash. It failed.

Update: Both system and product failed the preflash validation.

Update 2: Going to bed and keeping my laptop and phone plugged in.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Psyb3rN4ut:
that is the twrp image i used to boot to fastbootD with command:

$ fastboot boot twrp.img

$ adb reboot fastboot

the twrp image asks for decryption and the sideload feature doesnt work and also gets stuck in sideload mode.

I am updating adb (android-tools) on gentoo linux to verify that is NOT the issue, and have downloaded stock rom from:

Motorola Moto G Power XT2041-4-SS Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File)

Download the official Motorola Moto G Power XT2041-4-SS Stock Firmware (Flash File) for your Motorola Smartphone. We also provide all other Motorola Stock Firmware.

motostockrom.com

so as to re-flash to stock. Any advice about where to get OFFICIAL stock firmware and flashing process using adb/fastboot ONLY without any .exe or .bat files (as i am running linux) will be appreciated.

I will update you guys once i have updated my full system and will post the version of adb i am using, however i suspect it is quite recent as i run gentoo linux (~amd64 unstable)

I am reluctant to flash TWRP to recovery partition as suggested as I currently have a working fastbootD and DO NOT wish to hard-brick the device.

If it *may* be relevant, i can post output for various commands, returned E:rrors, device|firmware|baseband version, partition info, and anything else which may be relevant.

If there is an IRC channel or *tox group for real-time chat i would be happy to join!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
I have been looking at the older replies here and I think I'm not in fastbootd.

I tried using "fastboot reboot fastboot" but it says "fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target fastboot"

How do I get into fastbootd from here?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Psyb3rN4ut:
download twrp, as suggested, then:

fastboot boot twrp.img

adb reboot fastboot
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Psyb3rN4ut:
also, follow what i have posted and the replies so far, as i have the same issue (among others)
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr oua:
I'd like to add this:

I tried "adb reboot fastboot" but it says "

adb server version (32) doesn't match this client (39); killing...

* daemon started successfully

error: no devices/emulators found"

I downloaded these things yesterday when I first tried to get Lineage on my phone

Edit: looked through the devices section at twrp.me and I can't find anything for moto g8 power.
