[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rypley_2:
Hello, I have this S3 Mini GT-i8200 that got bricked by flashing the wrong firmware accidentally and I've been searching for a way to unbrick it, After a lot of googling I found two methods, an Unbrick IMG and flashing the scatter loading file, unfortunately, that's something that it's not present inside the .tar.md5 files of the stock rom (list of files down below), so anyone has that scatter loading file that can share me?

Thanks.

Hello, everyone.

I have something like the one in the picture.

I wanted to do an upgrade and .... bricked - only black screen.

I read about the TEST POINT method. I found this point on my board and. what next? I've read that I have to short it with GND - but for how long? with power on or not? if I short it with GND, can it be from power supply or some other on the board?

Can someone of you show me how exactly I should do it?

Thank you for any suggestions.

I've had this feature on other ROMs before and it's very useful, I can no longer find anything like it, would love a module to allow this on Android 11.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Auron111:
I just got the phone today and already love it, the green colour is beautiful.

Now I wanted to flash this phone with the Customized UK firmware, but the only version I can find is 58.1.A.5.55

The problem is the current firmware available to the customized HK is 58.1.A.3.87

Correct me if I am wrong but this phone does not allow you to downgrade your firmware so If I flashed this higher firmware and messed it up, I could not flash the stock HK firmware it came with.

So where can I get the UK version of 58.1.A.3.87 ??

XperiFirm only provides the latest firmware so that program is out.

I also know I could just wait for the HK version to get the update... but god knows when that will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lukefgoogler:
I'm about to receive my first Galaxy device (a locked US S21 Ultra sold by AT&T) after being a Pixel/Nexus user for many years. I'd like to remove as much bloatware as possible while preserving features such as WiFi calling, Visual Voice Mail, etc. If I replace the 998U firmware with 998U1, does that result in no Wi-Fi calling? (idk why AT&T says Wi-Fi calling isn't supported on unlocked devices) Can I simply reinstall some .apk to enable those features after flashing the debloated firmware? Can AT&T userdata be flashed with a U1 firmware to preserve those features? Sorry for the noob questions, I'm going to read up on flashing Samsung devices and using Odin, but I'm trying to get an idea of what I need to do to debloat my phone while preserving those features (Wi-Fi calling is an absolute must, if it requires AT&T bloatware installed I'll just soldier on with that crap using up my storage...) Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] uicnren:
WiFi calling and HD Voice (AT&T version of VoLTE) work fine on my unlocked S21U.

There is no VVM. (you can sort of do it using Google Voice).

You should be able disable most AT&T stuff, and further if you wish use adb to remove.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thacounty:
VVM working great on my unlocked S21U on ATT

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

www.packagedisabler.com

This package disabler* lets you set a widget to toggle checked apks on/off. I use it to toogle Google Play Services and Playstore on if I need them. This both protects me and greatly reduces battery usage. GPlayS needs to be on for Gmail to load. I am $ick of Google...

*choose the appropriate version. Been using this one for years, zero issues and no Playstore to screw it up. Low resource and battery consumption. Can be firewall blocked after setup.

Hello @Qualex11 and I'd like to also welcome you to XDA. I hope you like your visits and stays on this website and that you always receive valuable support in case of any problems.

First, please be aware that we don't delete threads after XDA has been indexed by search engines as this would provide HTTP 404 errors and in turn a poor user experience. We rather close a thread on request of a thread owner like you!

However, in this case I like the thread to remain open unless you definitely want to have it closed but with a serious request to you. XDA is about sharing - not only development but also knowledge and experiences. How about if you share here what you did that solved your issue? I'm convinced there're other XDA members around who have either already experienced the same problem and are eagerly waited for a solution or there're might be others who will be very happy in future if they directly find a fix for their issue.

I honestly invite you to present your solution here - and we're all be very grateful! If you don't want just feel free to shoot me a PM or to report via the report function, and your thread will be closed.

Stay safe and stay healthy!

Regards

Oswald Boelcke

Did anyone have success in rooting the G525F?
[General Questions and Answers] GameShadow7:
How to Root via Magisk Patch:

1) Download and open the stock ROM

2) Extract the boot.img.lz4 and convert it to boot.img with a program like lz4_win64

3) Convert the boot.img to boot.tar with 7zip or winRAR

4) Copy boot.tar to your mobile phone and patch it with Magisk, so you will get magisk-patched.tar

5) Rename the patched magisk-patched.tar to boot.tar

6) Flash it with Odin in AP mode and you are rooted!

Only this method worked for me, if you try it differently it may not work! (Xcover4s)

Same problem with Xcover 5 (Italy) - stock ROM downloaded from sammobile (G525FXXS4AUI6 - took like 2 days lol).

It is stuck in bootloop after following the Magisk installation guide for SAR devices. You can enter recovery by pressing volume down and power button, and as soon as the screen switches off you keep the power button pressed but switch to pressing the volume up. It does a weird thing the first time you do it after trying to root (android symbol and "Erasing.." written below), but the second time it works. Remember the phone must be attached to the pc otherwise you can't get into recovery mode (it makes no sense but it's like this, apparently). You can go in download mode by detaching the shut down phone, pressing volume up and down, and plugging it in the PC (the only way to recover from the bootloop is to flash through odin all the stock rom files (bl ap csc and cp).

I will try the method mentioned above and will let you know if I manage to root...but it seems impossible.

[General Questions and Answers] adrianfocke:
I was able to root my device (g535f/ds) by following the droidwin guide (linked below) closely, but with making adjustments. What I did was to:

- warning: this will delete all your data!

- warning: you need to unlock your bootloader for this to work!

- decompress the stock firmware

- decompres the AP part of it

- decompress the lz4 boot img in AP

- patched the boot img from AP part via Magisk

- replaced the original lz4 boot img in the AP folder with the patched img

- compressed the modified AP part again (file type: .tar archive, not signed!)

- flashed stock BL, CP, CSC and modified AP_archive.tar including the the patched img in ODIN

- rebooted device

To sum it up: Except step 4.3 (Delete all the files inside that folder except for recovery.img and vbmeta.img.)

and the hacky recovery boot stuff from the end (to fix some weird bootloop) of the post, I did all the steps from there. I can also create a new thread in case a more detailed guide is wanted.

Furthermore: I dont know if xda has specific rules on which file hosts are allowed. Please tell me so if it is the case, thx. I could not find anything in this regard.

My used files (Android 13, CSC Open Austria ATO) for ODIN can be downloaded here: http://u.pc.cd/fOV7 (shortened link). These files are already customized, you do not have to go through the guide with these. You may use them, though I do not give any warranty. Original firmware I used is linked below.
