[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

Thank you for your post!

I am looking at buying a Samsung SM-A716U that I think is the AT&T model, but I'll use it with "Metro by T-Mobile", since it's "GSM Unlocked".

But anyway, I am getting a little confused, because I am seeing posts about this phone (like yours) that also reference the "SnapDragon" SoC/CPU, but every one of these phones I see advertized on Amazon, for example (the eBay ads don't say who makes it), list the chip as follows;

Exybos 980 (8 NM) Octa-Core

(2x2 2GHz Cortex-A77

& 6x1.8 GHz Cortex A55)

The thing is, that I don't want to go ahead and buy it, only to find out that the "BootLoader Unlocker", Rooting method, TWRP version, your whole procedure here, the available ROMs, etc., et al, will only work on a SnapDragon version of the SM-A716U.

Do you have any knowledge on this, please?

P.S. I am open to suggestions for other phones, as long as they're $500 or less, have an SD Card slot and hopefully a removable battery. I know this one doesn't have the last one, but there is a case sold for it that has more battery built in.

Thank You!

Zeuszoos

@Zeuszoos If you buy one of the phones with the Exynos chip, you don't have to go through all of this. Those are all unlockable when you receive them. Only US bound (Snapdragon CPU) phones have this locked bootloader that can't be unlocked using standard ADB tools.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zeuszoos:
Okay, thank you. The one I bought did end up having a SnapDragon chip.

Just to be sure:

* Unlocking the BootLoader is different than if it's GSM Unlocked, right?

* The BootLoader must be Unlocked in order to Root it and install TWRP, right?

Thank You!

I had to use the magisk hide props config module, but I got my op9 the day it was released. Probably not needed with a newer version of magisk.
[OnePlus 9] inspron:
I flashed boot img to obtain root. Even with Magiskhide I still failed Safety check. You are saying you passed ?
[OnePlus 9] Slikkster2k:
I am rooted with Magisk and have MagiskHide enabled, and pass SafetyNet. I can use Google Pay with no issues.

Make sure you have Google Play Services ticked in MagiskHide settings (it should be ticked by default, but I don't know why else you would fail SafetyNet).
[OnePlus 9] xkelx:
I too cannot seem to pass safetynet even after ensuring that G Play services is checked and installing props config. Any help would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 9] XNine:
Make sure that you click on everything you can find related to Google and check them off. You'll need to tap on the individual app/service and checkmark everything that isn't already checked, as Magisk doesn't seem to want to check everything off even when you tap the checkmark. There's a dropdown for each app/service if you tap on the name of it.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
I've been working on my son's OP9 (haven't gotten mine yet). I couldn't pass SafetyNet until I used the canary version of Magisk. Download the canary version of the manager TJW's Github page then install and update. Clear data on Google Play and you should be good.

I'm passing with that and EdXposed.

Check recently installed apps? I've had my phone reboot many times whilst charging and I uninstalled an app and it fixed itself. Maybe it's charger temperature. Hot batteries are prone to reboot the phone.

Hi there,

I'm running Tom's Oops Black-ROM on my Artemis, and I absolutely love it.

I just have one question, I'd like to change the T9 language to dutch. Is that even possible? I;ve searched this forum and Google, but all I found were some references to registry-keys that don't exist on my Artemis. I think it schould be possible, because some claim it was done, but I can't seem to find a forumpost or website that has a correct how-to for this.

I just want to change the T9-language. For the menu's etc WWE is just fine for me.

[Moto E6 Play Questions & Answers] meowHelpMeRoot:
I've been getting this trying to unlock the bootloader on the Motorola Bootloader Unlock page. Whilst on fastboot (got <waiting for device> but updated drivers, they that's where things got tricky) a barcode appeared. I didn't really bother scanning it but I was scared AF. Upon another thread, another user said it's their IMEI number. I still can't get past the barcode tho. I have also tried updating drivers, from Motorola Device, which then tried Kedacom USB Drivers (I don't know what is that) to Android Phone and ADB User Interface (both of which had Moto and Motorola related stuff). After all that, STILL got the barcode. Is there anyone who can help with this? Oh and if you got the same problem, then answer in the poll below.
[Moto E6 Play Questions & Answers] Filkiro:
I am also in the same situation of wanting to unlock the bootloader, but apparently there is no way, the SoC on the motherboard is protected and not only that apparently motorola has put some security schemes on the motherboard, apparently this occurs on all moto e6 play from xt2029-1 to xt2029-3 (but if i have any new discoveries i will inform)

Hi All,

I'm looking for active MTK Custom roms.

I've been browsing all over, but have been unlucky in my search for the moment.

I recently bought an android smartphone on aliexpress and it's a budget phone with moderate specs.

But I'm unsatisfied with the current factory performance of current OS, so I'm searching to replace it with something I might optionally tweak over time as well, but any active custom rom will do.

I'm specifially using the MTK6899 cpu on this phone.

I had to aswell already factory reset to fix storage capacity issue, so not a good sign to begin with either.

I'm really looking for any answer to clarify my quest/research in understanding the possibilities to port this phone to a different rom. 🤓
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK Mediatek's source code for their chipsets isn't open source, hence developing Custom ROMs suitable to a specific Mediatek chipset is impossible.
[General Questions and Answers] bossc2:
Hmm that's a bummer, if only I knew this before acquiring this phone, right? :D
[General Questions and Answers] bossc2:
So should I aim at finding one for another mediatek chipset?

Or will there be too many issues caused by incompatibility?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
As I can see you didn't get it.

A Custom ROM basically doesn't depends on Android device's chipset, it only matters with regards to being a 32-bit or 64-bit chipset.

Developers of a Custom ROMs claim their Android ROM is oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because

they ripped out useless garbage, such as OEM/ carrier installed apps ( AKA bloatware ) or

they optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.

That's all.

Hello, I have an HTC Touch diamond from Telus, i've searched around these forums, and can't find quite the similar problem I have. My device only lists 102.55 MB of internal storage in the settings, and when i try to the Clear Storage program it says it can't find the mass storage, is this fixable or do i have to take it back to Telus.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Are you sure? If you click on "memory" in "settings" the first screen you get ("main" tab) only refers to the ROM and RAM available. You need to click on the "storage card" tab to find the 4Gb of internal storage
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ptsar:
I am experiencing the same issue with the Sprint version I received today. Same issue with the Clear Storage program. When I go to settings, memory, storage card, it says "Total Storage Card Memory: Not installed"

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Can you find the internal storage using file explorer on the HTC and explorer on activsync on your PC? Have you suceeded in copying something to it using activsync? If you can it is there. Why it is not being reported in memory is not so clear
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
A problem which I had a few times ocured when I tried to start a programm on the internal storage whil it was conected to a pc as a internal storage then the Diamond gives the internal storage a other name such as internal storage 1, 2 etc

Have a look at your file explorer you maid find it there.

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adoflan:
Slight variation on this topic but related.

Can someone tell me if there are hidden files or something similar on the internal storage?

When I look at All settings -> system -> memory, it says that there is 2725MB in use but if I total the individual values for each folder in my internal storage it only adds up to 2122MB. It's driving me mad as space is limited enough as it is...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
In a response to an earlier query, if you plugin your device as a mass storage device, the Internal Storage is unmounted from the phone's system so you cannot use it, and when you try to launch an application which requires this internal storage you can run into big problems of it "creating" a new Internal Storage. By this time when you unplug your device from the computer it will then rename your actual Internal Storage to Internal Storage 1/2 and you will have to go into file explorer and delete this, then reconnect your device to the computer and it should be ok again when you disconnect it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
A good point. To give you an example of how this works. I installed TT6 by putting my (legitimate) CAB file maps etc onto the internal memory by setting it as a USB device and using drag and drop in Explorer. The moment I disconnected the phone from the PC it re-recognised the internal memory and ran the TomTom auto-installation app. It is exactly the same as inserting an SD card into an SD slot of any other PDA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jreach:
Having same issue. I deleted the contents and the folder Internal Storage and am doing a hard reset. Will post results.

BTW - HTC and Sprint really should have a better solution to fixing this rather than all this mess. Even the ipod is easier to remount when you unplug during sync and I thought that was annoying....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
I think you may have misunderstood what we are saying. This problem only occurs when you choose the (non-default) option of the PC recognising the internal storage as a seperate USB drive rather than as an activsync connection when you make your connection to the PC. If you choose that option then no automatic activsync activity will occur when you dock because activsync will not start. On the other hand file transfers will be much quicker and easier and you can use drag and drop in your PC's explorer.

If you decide not to use this facility then activsync works fine and you should have no problems with automated syncing and unplugging whilst that is happening (although that latter action is not recomended with either Windows or Apple based phones or PDAs).

The main advantage that Windows based PDAs and phones have over Apple based ones are that they are much more easily changed (as most of these forums show!) and "tweaked" to suit what the end user wants. Apple is more "technology for technophobes". However the disadvantage with the Windows system is that there is more for the end user to bugger up - hence all the cries for help on this forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jreach:
No I understood what you meant. I was just comparing the issue. When Internal Storage still shows up under My Device but does not show up under Memory it tells me that the phone has "un mounted" the memory. The question is how do you re-mount this? Unless i am missing something which I very well may be....this appears to be the issue. At least the one I am faced with.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
You remount it by returning the HTC to its standard activsync setting, via its settings menu You can do that while it is still connected to the PC and when you hit OK activsync instantly starts and syncs. In addition Explorer recognises it as a mobile device rather than the removable storage when it was in USB mode.

I do not think it is correct to compare an additional Windows feature (that the Apple does not have) with the standard feature that the Apple does have. A more accurate comparison would be the two in the same activsync mode, in which case they are similar, and neither has this problem

At the end of the day if anybody does not like the extra facility the HTC has to show and use its internal storage in the same way as a memory card when hooked up to the PC (because of its disadvantages) then they should not use it and they should stick with activsync. At least in Windows world we have the option.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jreach:
WOW!

Dropping the ipod reference and my apologies for stepping on toes by mentioning it.

Setting it to active sync or hard drive has NO affect on this what so ever. I wish it did as it would be an easy fix. Apparently during any kind of disconnect the memory module freaks out and it corrupts the file system. That is apparently why the phone will not recognize it. Some people have had success connecting the phone over and over to a computer until it mounts the drive and then via the computer they format the drive and then hard reset and its fixed.

In this case its very similar as the HTC device will not remount the memory module. I contacted HTC and they verified that its a problem and have recommended an RMA to sprint.

Personally I don't even buy the HTC response. There has to be a way to remount the memory back to the phone as the drive will occasionally show up even in windows. It just wont allow a format as it locks up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Oops sorry if I sounded a tad touchy... :o. I really did not mean to upset.

It is just that I think that Apple are really good at marketing to the "cool fool" market, and persuading people that they are technologically more advanced than they really are. The classic example of this is the iphone that was trumpetted as having lots of "new" benefits, which had been on other competitor's phones for ages. The only thing cutting edge about them is their ease of use (which is I have to admit very good)

However I do not have the problem you are describing with my HTC touch diamond, and nor, I suspect, do the vast majority of other users. My memory module has never freaked out and corrupted my file system no matter how many times I connect or disconnect and no matter how I do it. So I suspect it is not a universal HTC problem, but one limited to the way that Sprint and maybe others (I assume in the US?) have implemented the software, or maybe on a rogue batch of hardware or software?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jreach:
No worries...text does that some times.

Yeah I think its pretty much a US thing. PPCGEEKS has a thread going about it and it appears to be all sprint phone related.

So far what I have is this: When using file explorer, under My Device Is a folder called Internal Storage. When I go into settings to check memory, I have Storage & Program, 102.55MB and 203.84MB, respectively, that's Total. In the Storage card tab, it says Not installed. And when i try to clear storage and format internal storage it says "no Mass Storage found"

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] faiz23:
my best recommendation that worked for me was doing the format in dos under windows,

go to start, run, type in "cmd", this will bring up the dos command prompt, when i plug my phone in under disk drive mode my internal storage shows up as "G drive" find out what yours is. in dos window type "format g:" hit enter and follow the command prompts it might take up to 5 min for it to format since it is not the quick format option. also once you have formatted using the option about you can reformat in a quick method again if you want type "format g: /q".
