[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dclay4200:
I have a TCL A508DL and I have the bootloader unlocked using mtkclient. I'm about to patch the boot.img in the stock ROM to see if I can get magisk working like I did on my Galaxy A31. Will get back to you when I see progress

Here you go! Magisk on the A508DL. Here's a dump of the firmware as well. Just use mtkclient's GUI to flash the firmware. Also, use this apk of magisk to patch the boot.bin for it to work. It's patched for mediatek. I got it from https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient so it's trustworthy.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] boringuser:
Hello, I have an old Nook HD and there's an app I want to back up the data from to help someone revive an old app. I've tried using adb, but the results only yield a 1KB adb file, the person says it should be megabytes of data. I've tried following this thread but I just can't get it. I'd like to do it without rooting the device because I'm not confident in my tech abilities and me and the person don't want to damage the device and lose the data. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] theblitz707:
Today i rooted my phone with the sole purpose of removing gos completely and being done with it. I installed an "app uninstaller" and with the root privilage i managed to remove gos BUT THEN, another gos came, this one didnt have the normal gos logo but instead had some sort of android logo and the app name was "com.samsung.android.game.gos.app.App" and this is unremovable even with the app.

At this point i try ADB and when i try to uninstall gos "pm uninstall bla bla com.samsung.android.game.gos", it gives me the "Success" and in the app i literally see the "com.samsung.android.game.gos.app.App" gets reinstalled, the moment i tried to uninstall it. I am at a loss. Anybody have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bluezaphire:
Hi. I have read that there is a lot of stuff that can be done with a rooted phone.

I rooted my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0 (Oreo) with one of the guides I found here.

If I uninstall updates of the Playstore it goes down to version 10. I would like to have version 8 or lower. Is that even possible? Can I uninstall the current Playstore and install the one from Nougat for example? Do I have to replace the Google Play Services app too? Would it still work?

If it can be done, could someone please guide me on how to do it?

Thank you :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] meduza:
You can flash any playstore app doesn't matter if you're rooted or not. It will replace the existing play store. No need to flash something else. You can find various versions of play store e.g. here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...2-android-apk-download/download/?forcebaseapk

Hi there,

I'm new in this forum and not yet an expert on all this items handled here. So maybe one of those great software guys can help me.

I got a present from my Chinese friend, it's a DOPOD P860 mobile branded for china mobile. As I'm german I tried to change the operating system to german or english. All those great tools worked fine for flashing procedure.

I tried original O2 ROM and some others like the one from Bepe. Also combined these with several Radio Rom. Operating system of the device works fine with nearly all of these Roms.

Problem remains:

The recognition level of the radio is low. As soon as I go into any building I will get a "no signal" message.

Is there anyone who can help me?

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] geekymahesh:
I just bought a poco x3 pro. When i tried to open some folders containing lots of images in sd card it took some time. Morethan 20 seconds to minutes. I copied it to internal storage and tried to browse again. It takes more than 20 seconds to open each folder. Even if we go to the previous folder by taping back button it takes same time. These actions were instant in my poco f1. I tried ex file explorer and issue remains there too. I tried to copy 17gb folder containing images from internal to different internal location and it takes lots of time just like sd to internal. Anyone facing same issue?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Try turn off preview / thumbnails.

17GB folder instant copy?

If it bothers you, just let it run in the background. Or maybe try other file explorer as Root Explorer or Mixplorer.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] geekymahesh:
I am not looking for instant copy. The issue is when i open a 17 gb folder containing lots of images it takes 20 seconds to 1 minute to open the folder. When i open sub folders containing 10 or 20 images it open instantly. But when I click back it takes more than 20 seconds to go back to previous folder. Same issue while browsing image folders in both internal and sd card. In my f1 and mi6 these actions r instant. Tried ex explorer and same issue is there too. Any solutions? How to turn of preview?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Use Root explorer.

There's option to turn off reading thumbnails.

View attachment 5319209

The reason for slow reading could be because the thumbnails are just to much and too big to read in an instant.

Older phones may behave differently because they might have just read thumbnails partially, so when you scroll down, it start reading again.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] geekymahesh:
Its not the issue of thumbnail. The folders opens in other fones instantly even if the folders r newly copied to them. In my x3 pro it takes over 20 seconds to minutes to open folders containing images and going back to previous folder is taking same time too. Tried many file managers and its same there too. Another guy from telegram group also said it takes 20 seconds to open his WhatsApp image folder.

Found a link saying about the issue.

Thanks for the credits and great that it works perfectly for you.

I added to the StylusLock description how to go to sleep immediately, by just pressing the Power Button and inserting the Stylus. But maybe you did know this already.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Taajuus:
Thanks ZuinigeRijder, this was answer to all my locking needs!

For GPS purposes, it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock with lets say long keypress (home, back, answer, hangup -key), since its bit tricky on my mount to take out stylus for unlocking.

But anyway, this is best so far. I also love your idea to keep app simple and low resource eater.

No - Every time you want to un-lock the phone with the lock enabled you have to remove the stylus? To re-lock just insert the stylus? You can switch the "software" on and off for when you want it enabled or dissabled?

:rolleyes: To me EN4CER69 this is a bit of a "Doh...!!!!" type question? If you didnt have to un-lock before making or answering a call - then the phone wouldnt be locked now would it????? Sigh..... :rolleyes:

Stylus Lock

I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.

It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.

My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?

Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.

That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.

So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.

Just 3 comments

1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.

2. Screen Notification

3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Taajuus:
You can do it like this.

While Stylus Lock enabled you are done with your tasks and want to put device in sleep mode and locked - Press power button and then insert stylus. Device goes to sleep and you feel lock vibration notify. To wake up device, simply pull out stylus and it unlocks also.

Hi all,

is it possible to unroot the device, maybe through flashing stock firmware, and then use GPay as before rooting it? Even if the bootloader remains unlocked?

Thx in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 11] iamrance.asa:
How did you root it? Google Pay works fine on my rooted phone but there's a couple steps to get it to work.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Blubber120:
It does work, but I want to sell my Mi 11, because I got a Mi 11 Ultra for not too much money. So I want to flash the original Software on the Mi 11 again. The question is, if GPay will still work after that.

I rooted it by converting the Boot.img file with the magisk app
[Xiaomi Mi 11] iamrance.asa:
Not sure. I don't have any experience with just an unlocked bootloader. I always have root along with it. Why aren't you locking the bootloader as well? China Variant? Usually, it makes more sense to lock the bootloader as well if you're selling it ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Blubber120:
It's the german variant. Isn't it risky to relock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] jakerxiii:
There's no relocking risk if you flash the stock firmware beforehand.

Ok, thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 11] catalindobre:
I've tried before with several Xiaomi devices before Mi11 (mi8, mi9, poco x3 nfc and pro), but it surely works.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] iamrance.asa:
It's risky to lock with a different regional ROM on them. The only one that I know for sure about is the China variant of the phone which can only be locked with the OEM china firmware. The original ROM the phone came locked with is no risk at all. It might also be that the China variant is an outlier because they're not allowed to have GAPPS there.

Hi,

Which Model and Version do you have now? Model? Build? MCU?

Easiest way is to post a photo of your About Device screen which is at the bottom of the Settings Menu

If you cannot get to the Device screen, can you post a photo of the barcode label on the back of the radio or on the box it came in?

I don't want you to install the wrong firmware.

You can go to your settings menu and clear all cache and downloads and other memory hogging apps. This will make you unit run a bit faster.

Hello everybody,

I hope it fits in here.

I forgot the pattern on my S21 + after resetting the phone, my phone still wanted the pattern or a Google account. He doesn't take my Google account and after a long back and forth with the Samsung support they offered me support for about 100€ an hour. Which I find cheeky. That thing already cost me a lot of money.

At first I tried to flash the firmware via ODIN, but this did not work. After a long search I found out that the FRP is not removed with it.

Then I tried to work around the FRP via SamFirm. I had some success with that. After I had to put my PC into safe mode, it showed me that it had opened this message and that I should click on "view". However, nothing opened there.

Do I have to downgrade the firmware? Or is there any other way? Unfortunately, I can't turn on USB debugging either because I can't get there.

Thank you in advance for every message. And stay healthy.

Delete your Google and Samsung accounts on the phone then do a factory reset from settings rather than from the boot menu if you can.

Turn off/deactivate the pattern lock screen, delete your Google and Samsung accounts* from the device before doing the factory reset.

Do the reset then from Settings rather than the boot menu. That should prevent any issues.

*make sure you have the account/passwords written down.
[General Questions and Answers] SICKMADE:
How are you supposed to turn off/deactivate lockscreen pattern if I don't know it? If I did I would not need to frp or anything cause I'd just delete the accounts in settings before factory resetting. Prob is I don't know the lockscreen pattern. It was a phone I gave my now ex. She threw it at me when she left the other day. I paid for it and paid the bill but I wasn't gonna ask for it back.

If I could flash custom recovery I'd just delete the lock screen in system in recovery but not a option.
