There is a Magisk module for that (and so much more) - https://github.com/Kingsman44/Pixelify

If you check my signature, I've been at this since 2009 with the HTC Hero and never bricked either. I think I have bricked unintentionally (MSM mod testing required me to intentionally screw with my device too so I don't count those) 4 times since I got this device in February. It's ridiculous but at least we have the MSM. Those who bought the 10 Pro don't have it yet so when they brick theirs, it's off to OnePlus. This was my first OP and it will unfortunately be my last because of all these issues and OP's slow update cycle.
[OnePlus 9] MauroG:
I was just thinking of using my poco x3 as a jump box but i'm gonna give that a try, thanks again.

I've bricked or softbricked every phone i've had since a LG gt540 up to this Poco x3 NFC but always managed to get them working by just looking into XDA or some threads until now with this OP9 which is also my first. My GF had OP One and it worked like charm even on custom roms so as of now this is the first time I got beaten hahaha
[OnePlus 9] jigarb1992:
works fine till "vm-bootsys", after restart my phone not getting start

any solution?
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
You will need to find the MSM Tool. These scripts don't work and I don't know why it's pinned.
[OnePlus 9] liver20:
This Thread should be deleted.

Too many bricks with this guide
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I got them to unpin it at least.
[OnePlus 9] ismashahmi:
my phone was brick after using this fastboot rom..now it only stuck in EDL mode and i got problem with MSM that tell me a error 'sahara communication failed'anyone know how can i get back my phone back?
[OnePlus 9] Dragos96:
This guide hard brick my phone, is connecting and disconecting from pc every 6 sec :))

Anyone have a solution??
[OnePlus 9] ODISMOKE:
i just wanted to go back to stock from and after using this the phone have became unresponse

cant go to fastboot bootloader recovery nothing

Does any one know of a program that will do the following...........

-If you leave your phone somewhere and the phone is not locked or you just forgot to lock it.......You can call a certain number to lock the phone for you.

-it might sound dumb, but that would be a neat program:cool:

Update:

This program really works......... Thanks to hbatra!

Don't know about any free software for it though...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] papo:
you can power-off with "eye on thief" app

by sending sms with command

or u can command to run "eye on privacy" app,

which could lock yr phone

http://www.mycnknow.com/LockAppen.htm
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gsessons:
Thank You I will try these and let you know how they work
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] darocsfinest1:
yeah

yeah let all know brotha!:D, i cant wait
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hbatra:
Take a look at SpriteTerminator (http://www.spritesoftware.com/?page_id=280).

Not freeware - but not only does it allow you to lock your phone, it also allows you to track it, erase the contents, disallow the changing of the SIM etc. etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gsessons:
:):p;) That is one of the hottest programs I have saw so for. If you are a business person, someone who just forgets there phone all the time or even if you just lost your phone..............You can use this program , so that you can txt yourself to lock, unlock or even erase everything out of your phone and alot more from just txting your phone. Thanks again hbatra
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] LNJ:
all the nokia E-Series come with this functionality built in.

it definitely is a cool option for when you lose your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gsessons:
There is another cool feature to, if you lose it or someone steals it.........You can text your phone and it will delete everything off th phone included you memeory card
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] papo:
this "eye on thief" doing the same. I thought it'll be obvious from name..

I am running it on my phone as for protection.

What's specially cool about this one, is that it's just 1 exe, no install, very tiny and simple. u can burn it in ROM. This way it's hard to notice and disable by thief.

Also it's free with sort of limitations, but still usable.

in help you'll find list of comands. I just tried poweroff and reset.

poweroff switched only to stand-by but reset worked OK. on wm6.1

and no incomming sms showed up.

eeh, be carefull by testing.. I forgot about having it and after inserting new prepaid SIM, I find out my credit's gone with no sign of SMSs being send out.

ok, but as this thread is about forgotten phone, besides reset and not working power off, there are commands to forward calls and SMSs so maybe this is what you've been after? if you'll give it a try, let us know if it coculd be used this way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gsessons:
I tried that one, and followed the commands but could not get it to work. Maybe you have to have a certain model (phone) for it to work. I have the ATT Tilt and I could install it but the commands would not work. But I did try it, and yes it is a very small app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] papo:
sms has to be it format: passreset

where pass is your remote password

and have you set up both password, added your sim and turned autorun on?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mskip:
I love throttlelock it automatically locks the phone when it goes to sleep so no need to worry about if you locked it or not and to unlock the phone you simply slide your finger over a preset pattern. Very simple but very effective.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gsessons:
Yes I tried that as well, I even downloaded the pdf file with the step by step instuctions and it just does not work. That is why I said maybe it is the type of phone that I have, because the Sprite Termintor works perfect and they both use the sms commands to shut off, lock or what ever you what to do.

What type of phone you have.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] papo:
i've got tytnII, T-mobile device but ROM by orange UK.

this app was working perfect on all my prev phones. trinity, rwo artemis. another tytn II unbranded. and different ROMs.

no idea then..

It beeps after every phone start, signaling that it's running ok.

I have it in windows folder, link in StartUp was created automatically with -startup parameter - "\windows\lockapppen.exe" -startup

I just set both passwords (used the same)

have check-on on first 4 boxes

have added my two SIMs

added both 2 numbers in SMS list.. ..maybe this could be problem. maybe it only accepts requests from numbers on SMS list. but that would not be too practical.

after sending sms with "passreset" (say "pass" is my password) it didn't show this message and replied back that command was processed.

was running this on wm6 and 6.1 too. no more ideas, sorry

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
Hlo guys, Hope you all are doing well.

I bought an S21 Ultra (Exynos) yesterday and it seems to be running hot even during normal usage. It heats up while I charge it (with a 33W Xiaomi charger) and it heats up even more (goes upto 43°C) while I am on a video call. I'm a little bit worried. Is this a faulty unit or just a software issue? Please help me out guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
It will do that for a few days. I had the same experience on the first 2-3 days. But the heating issue went away after that. It will still heat up occasionally (just like any other computer) and especially when you do anything involving the camera. All the new apps are constantly writing info, building cache, etc - this should ease off once the initial intense activity has completed. Some heating is bound to happen when charging too.

The only things I would recommend changing for now are: If you don't use 5G or have poor coverage in your area, turn off 5G scanning from Connections setting. This seemed to help me with battery as well as heating. And FHD+ instead of WQHD+ resolution (at least till the heating issue is gone, and then you can play around with settings and see what you like)

My advice would be to just wait for a few days before doing anything drastic or trying to modify stock firmware. If not better by the end of the week, you can explore other options. The phone is just one day old. Just give the software some time to settle.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
unfortunately thats just the way it is :(

am having the EXACT same issues and i had the phone since Feb so - not something that will go away unless Samsung fixes it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
That's comforting to hear😇. Let me monitor it for another week. Should I continue using the 33W charger? Is S21 ultra capable of handling it? Or should I just buy the Samsung 25W charger? Thanks for the reply dude.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
I hope it gets better for you. For all of us.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I haven't used the Mi charger. Tried with an old warp charger from OnePlus just for kicks and it doesnt super-fast charge the S21U. But that's becasue the propreitary fast charging standards used by different manufacturers are often incompatible.

After some research, I've found that the S21 ultra will not draw any more than 25 Watts of power (even if you use the Samsung original 45W charger). And even that 25W will work with only with a PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charger (USB C to C PPS) - like the 25W Official Samsung charger. There are a few 3rd party maufacturers that make PPS chargers, but I haven't used any of them. I just went ahead and bought the Samsung one, as there was a good discount on it.

Any other charger you use will only work as a slow charger, or a fast charger (15W max) at best if it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC3) standard. For 25W Super-fast charging (it's anything but super-fast, but that's what Samsung insists on calling it) you need a PPS charger, and I would recommend going with the original 25W Samsung charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
I'll go with the Samsung 25W charger then. Thanks by the way😇👍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
You're most welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
You can be unfortunate with any SOC in terms of die quality. Some people are simply SOL and end up with crap silicon which results in bad thermals and, if you're rooted, a restricted ability in overclocking or undervolting.

What people can't do is have a crap experience with the thermals on their S21 Ultra (or any other device) and talk as if it applies to every other device of the same model, as in post #3. It doesn't work that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
one thing i did yesterday (btw may update did not fix the heating issue) was to disable the 5g - keeping in mind i live in an area where there is excellent 5g coverage)

as soon as i turned 5g off - the heating was gone, the battery life increased and the phone felt smoother

now this was also an issue last year on s20 - seems this year is the same

something about the 5g that makes the phone get really hot

try it and see if that works
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
Heating problem while charging is fixed after I started using the original Samsung charger. But I'm still experiencing problems with video calls😕 A 20 minute video call (through Microsoft Kaizala) increases the temperature to 45°C😒 I'm not sure what's the problem. I have turned off 5G as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] maharoof:
As I'm still experiencing problems with temperature going up in video calls, is there anyway to log the cpu usage and thermals? Maybe that would help in finding out the culprit. The battery life is not that great either. I can't figure out how much SOT I'm getting since the battery page still shows "Learning usage patterns".
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
i think the heat during video calls is another issue - that is triggered by the actual video processing - i think you will notice if you turn the camera on for shooting a video (not live video calls) you will notice instant heating - i think that is also what is causing this - both frontal and rear cameras have huge sensors and the phone must do a lot of work to compress the live videos + data connection/wifi used during the video

i dont know the culprit but is defo related to the same issue why when taking loads of photo or long vids the phone get super hot

i mean i turn off my video during a call and the heating goes down pretty fast

all in all - it seems the same issues that plagues s20 exynos are still present in the s21 exynos - so not sure what improvements they made cz honestly is as bad as last year!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Hey guys, i live in Kuwait and now temps are reaching 45-50°.

I don't expect the device to cool itself and i try as much to avoid using it outdoors or in my car (i have a ****ty AC)

Otherwise while at home and gaming it never exceed 40° ever.

If you dig deep into when you are using and where you will notice.

5g also drain and push temps up waaay to much.

Volte is also a factor.

Btw these are in all phones not only the s21u.

Don't be fooled guys and don't hate the ohone, it's a phone with soo many things and features running simultaneously, it has no fans and no cooling except for the paste lol.

That's my way of looking at it, i might be wrong.

Btw my sister's iPhone 12promax does the same and reach hot temps when used out and camera together.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
That learning usage patterns will take a few days before it starts showing data.

For thermal logging and control you can use the Samsung Labs module called Thermal Guardian. If labs app is not available in your country, download finelock from play store and get it from there. Search for appx video on thermal Guardian on YouTube for installation details
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Guys 40+ something temps are nothing. Just put on a cover, relax, and enjoy the warm beast your phone is.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
There is a direct relationship between the amount of power used by a processor and its clock frequency. The higher the performance, the higher the power consumption and heat generated.

Samsung is teaming up with AMD on an improved SoC which is reported to make it's debut on the S22. Hopefully this will eliminate the ongoing defencies with the Exynos SoC.

Samsung’s next Exynos SoC will have an AMD GPU

Samsung says the fruits of its partnership with AMD should appear next year.

www.google.com

Not only have some of Samsung's major stock holders pressured Samsung to resolve the Exynos debacle, there's even an online petition with over 50,000 signatures requesting Samsung stop using the Exynos Chipsets in it's flagship devices.

Sign the Petition

Stop selling us inferior Exynos phones!

www.change.org

The only other Non-Samsung Smartphone which uses the Exynos Chip is Vivo. All others besides Huawei and a couple of Chinese Brands use Snapdragon which is pretty good indicator for the lack of confidence in Exynos SoC's
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bandiere2000:
This heath issue has to do with my S21 ultra's reboot thing? Once a day...I noticed that,if I install some app outside google playstore(such as vanced etc), my phone will reboot by yourself once a day....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
I have no heating issues with my Exynos. Sd 888 has very bad heating issues in all the phones that use it. Stop with the "inferior Exynos" bs already.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
Look in settings to see if your phone is set to reboot once a day. If it's not, then you have a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bandiere2000:
It s possible...but the phone freeze and reboots only when I use him...It doesn t reboot during night, or when in stand by
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Nothing in my post refered to Exynos Chipsets overheating, I referenced what makes devices overheat, any device. If you're not experiencing overheating that's great and no doubt many users feel the same. That doesn't preclude the fact there's a significant movement underway on a number of levels to get Samsung's attention to fix problems associated with the Exynos SoC.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
That useless petition you were referring to, it's from the exynos 990 days. Exynos problems are history starting with 2100.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
My old s9+ did the same and it was a hardware problem. Got the motherboard exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bandiere2000:
Oh ...for a new S22 ultra...to have these problems....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
This thread includes user's who are complaining about the Exynos 9100. No doubt it has improved compared to the 990. But user's of the 990's days aren't over, they're still dealing with an inferior chipset. Further I haven't read of one Snapdragon user or potential buyer who wants to replace or consider the purchase a Exynos variant. But there are lots of users in the Exynos Global footprint going out of their way to aquire the Snapdragon variant. It's an inferior chip by any measure and Samsung at the very least should rebrand their chipsets. They used to be the desired SoC up until three years back, now this is no longer the case, they've damaged Samsung's reputation.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
You are from US, so clearly you have the Snapdragon version, yet you rant about something you don't have and you never used. 🙂

It's not inferior, in fact, it has the same cores as sd888, which is made by Samsung using the same manufacturing process. Sd888 has bad heating issues. See oneplus 9 Pro or Xiaomi mi11.

You know nobody that wants to buy an Exynos? How is that relevant? How many people do you know around the world?🙂 I know plenty in my country who bought the Exynos and are happy with it. Very good reviews in local online stores are proof of that. In fact, the vast majority who buy an 21, is buying the Exynos, because that's the global version. How many do you see complaining? Some guys on xda? Those who have problems with something, are always the loudest.

I also know plenty of guys (from a local forum in my country) who imported the sd888 version and now they regret it, because they have no warranty on it and compared the two versions and found no differences in performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Klaudas:
++. That's 100% true. I have exynos version and I love it. My mom and friends uses s21 devices with exynos and they have no complains.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Samsung manufacturer the SD888 as well as the Exynos, the SD88 has a higher clock speed so if the Exynos overheats the SD88 will as well. My S21 Ultra Exynos does not overheat, never had that issue. So if the CPU is the reason why is mine not overheating? Please explain.

"Further I haven't read of one Snapdragon user or potential buyer who wants to replace or consider the purchase a Exynos variant". I'm impressed you can read, you do not show that by the bull**** you post.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
Bruh. I returned my Mi 11 Ultra (Snapdragon 888) precisely because of the heating issue. Now I have a S21 Ultra (Exynos) and it also gets rather warm... When doing light tasks such as internet browsing. Which is something I don't get. WTF is up with phones released this year? Most seem to have heating problems.

My Mate 20 Pro which I had a couple years ago never seemed to get as warm as the damn Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra or S21 Ultra.

Looks like I won't be keeping the S21 Ultra for long. Don't get me wrong, I really like this phone, but I'm extremely annoyed when it burns my hand while doing extremely basic tasks. Smh
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
That is normal only if you are using your phone with data on, outside in the sun with full brightness. Otherwise you have a problem. My phone is cool all the time, unless I use it outside when it's sunny, or using video camera for more than 10 minutes. Still, it doesn't go past 45°C.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I had heating troubles when I bought the phone at launch. It was noticeable and quite bothersome

But I haven't seen any heating issues in the last few months, since the May firmware update if I remember correctly. Currently, the phone only occasionally gets warm to the touch, and it's usually after using a camera related application, or large amounts of data transfer on LTE.

The only time it heats up appreciably is while on a Zoom/Google Meet/ Teams video conferencing while on LTE. But that used to happen on my OnePlus 6 as well.

So if your phone is burning your hand even while doing basic tasks, there must be something wrong with your device or software setup... becasue that sounds like a very different device than what I'm using.

But I have to agree with your statement that this hasn't been a good year as far as thermal profiles are concerned, be it SD888 or Exynos2100. Both run hotter than they should, especially with a smaller transistor footprint, but I guess the architecture isn't fully optimised yet. Although surprisingly, this year the Exynos has a lead over the SD as far as thermal temperament and standby drain is concerned (benchmark performance may be the opposite tho)

Again, this is just my experience, YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
I understand that. I would be completely fine with it if it was overheating outside with full brightness on but... it reaches around 40-41°C very easily when in use at home, with the brightness level being quite low. :(

I'm using Microsoft Edge browser, stable version. Maybe that is the issue? Just did a quick google search and some people experience heating problems with that particular browser. Others do not.. I'll try switching to another browser and see if that solves it.

Thanks for the reply and your insight. Yes, my device gets uncomfortable to hold in my hand more often than not (when used naked, without a case).

Like I said above, I looked at some stats in battery tracker and thermal guardian, and the main culprit of high CPU usage and battery drain is always Microsoft Edge. Constantly over 20% of CPU usage.

After doing further research it appears that Edge beta is much less of a battery sucker than the stable version. Fingers crossed I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
I use Samsung browser and have no heating issues with it + I think it's the best android browser. I use it on all my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Same experience as @ione2380 above. On both my S21U and Tab S7, I've found Samsung browser to be the best Android browser so far. I've tried to go back to chrome and brave, but keep coming back to the Samsung browser. None of the browsers currently do night mode as well as Samsung does.
