[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] Appreciative:
My battery life is much worse also. I blame it on the constant/aggressive wifi changes.

They did force the update. There was no further postponement available. It's not cool that we have to jump thru hoops to take an OTA but the full version upgrade ignores root woes and forces itself to install. I don't mind jumping the hoops, so long as it's consistent.

I've never had this force update issue on any previous device. I've been able to ignore it indefinitely, and if rooted, need to do a manual intervention to take the OTA. I was in the middle of doing something when my phone shut down and installed a11.

This isn't my first OnePlus device. It is my first carrier tied/coupled OnePlus device. And will definitely be my last carrier coupled phone. I want to give OnePlus another chance. I had the 8 Pro and it was lackluster to say the least. I found a great medium with this device. It offered similar specs, 5G, good build quality at a reasonable price.

It may be true that other manufacturers force updates on some devices but it wasn't true for me with the Nexus or Pixel phones I had. Or my previous OnePlus device (5T/8P).

A lot of us are intentionally choosing OnePlus for the root and ubl friendliness with good specs.

I don't think anyone is saying A11 shouldn't be offered, it should be of course. It just shouldn't be forced and the safety net we thought we had to prevent that, was also swallowed up.

Give OnePlus another chance, this phone is not the typical OnePlus experience I've come to love. Or maybe this is the new OnePlus... I'm gonna give them another shot.

As a side note to this, my wife wanted the Samsung s21, coming from a OnePlus device. She is very disappointed with the s21 in just about every aspect other than the picture quality. Oppo and OnePlus are merging, I'm not even sure where to go after OnePlus
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] blackhawk:
You can block OTA a couple different ways. I've done it for over 5 years with AT&T, no root needed.

My 10+ is still running happily on Pie.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] pl1992aw:
Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco meets the root and ubl friendliness. In some countries, they still have warranty coverage after unlock bootloader.

Good specs or not is vague between different phones.

Check XDA Xiaomi category and see the reply and thread count. It's to some point a sign of better price to the specs.

Use GSMarena to compare the spec.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] starcms:
Sadly, OnePlus hasn't been typical OnePlus in well over a year. Look how slow updates are now even for their latest non-carrier flagships beginning around 7T time (and can start to be seen as early as the 6T).

Oppo and OnePlus are merging, like you said, so won't they still continue producing flagship phones at a manic rate, like Samsung? At least Samsung has gotten much better with the speed of OTA updates, while OnePlus has tanked.

We're guaranteed Android 12 for our phones. Let's see how long it takes for us to get it, probably more than a year after I make this post. The 6T is still waiting for OOS11.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] Appreciative:
To be honest, receiving the 8 Pro was disappointing. I had the pixel 2xl and it's the only thing I've returned in a decade. I got the 5T for half the price and couldn't believe how amazing that phone was. It's still alive and crack free. I put it through a lot.

Getting the 8 Pro, I knew it was $1k but I expected a lot. I was disappointed. I liked it but not $1k-liked-it. And I realized then, that maybe OnePlus had already ended their founding principles. I was most disappointed that nothing about the 8P was pushing the envelope. The 5T was breaking the envelope and the 6 was doing big moves with giant storage and ufs3 speed. After that, partially because of how well the 5T was made, I didn't follow what they were doing. I didn't need to. Now we are at OP9 and you may be right that 'that oneplus' isn't here anymore.

I did look at some oppo devices. I knew that's the parent/sister company to OnePlus and would find similar features. It just worked out that the 7T Pro 5G dropped right after I got the 8P and I traded back.

I guess I got spoiled 😂
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] starcms:
That's one reason I got this phone, OnePlus's prices are thru the roof. And no, I don't want any Nord crap. I want a flagship phone at a reasonable price. Got my 7T Pro 5G Mclaren for $500 brand new from eBay the day after the OP8/Pro launched. I just couldn't justify spending $1000 on a phone and I never will.

[Samsung Galaxy A02s] bigrooster88:
Just picked up this device a couple of weeks ago and decided to look into rooting. I've read over a large amount of web pages just soaking up any information on the device I could. I also read over the root guide in this forum and I am aware they are not the exact same model but I've got it down to the tar file with boot.img and the 2 other files in it. My question: is there a way I can flash files to this Samsung without Odin because I do not have access to a pc at the moment. Is it possible to install heimdall command line through termux on my oneplus or Motorola that I already have root access on? That's what I would normally do. Just connect 2 phones with a c cable and use the rooted one like a pc. It has its limitations but it works for the most part. I even tried doing that with this Samsung but fastboot/download mode doesn't recognize fastboot commands. If anyone had any input at all it's appreciated.

Off topic but has anyone been having problems with termux repos lately?

[Samsung Galaxy A02s] bigrooster88:
Thank you very much bro. If I remember correctly this still needs to be flashed with fast boot commands so I still need to flash this recovery with Odin but after that I'll be good to go with fastboot? Sorry, very new to Samsung

Can a smart person please expand the touch area for the tastmanager button in the title bar?

Since HTC already uses the enlarge title bar application to show all the icons enlarged, it would be great if the task manager app could just take a bit of the area to expand the area to touch. I usually have to hit the upper right conner more than twice to hit it correctly... it is just too small for my large fingers... :(
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers] Alexcvrn:
Today I was carrying out the process of unlocking the bootloader of my tablet, when I removed the back cover I realized that in the sd tray the SIM card area has the pins that read the SIM card, my question is, is there any way to activate the SIM card? I have lineage and a custom recovery
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers] Fosanz:
If you bought WiFi only version, it's basically impossible. Maybe that pins are for the SD. If that was possible, people wouldn't pay 100€ more for LTE version.

But if you have LTE version, be careful of what ROM you're using. I mean it won't break your tab, but in some ROMs LTE goes brrrr and doesn't works.

AGS2-W09 are versions with WIFI ONLY

AGS2-L09 are versions with LTE
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers] Alexcvrn:
I have the only wifi version, but those pins are lower than the SD card, I already installed a tray with sim and SD, the pins are just below the card without, however the tablet does not read it, However the tablet software has certain phone services
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers] Fosanz:
WOW UMM. No idea bro. Try with another sim or ask huawei team. if that tab has the pins, idk why it doesn't works.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] sunmybun:
it mightve not worked for me because i decrypted my data partition by factory reset and disabling the system to encrypt and check the partition before booting.

one of the tablets is encrypted and is using the KOO firmware, and the updating steps doesnt work either.

Ive flashed the tablets that were originally XAR firmware to KOO firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] TheCoryGuy:
Can you specify the process of creating the TAR file? I patched the boot file from AP in Magisk already.

I used WinRar to make a .zip containing boot.img, then renamed it from AP-SLOT.zip to AP-SLOT.tar. Don't know if that's acceptable. I also used the "Store" compression method.

Afterwards what slot in Odin do you upload the .tar file to? I tried the AP slot but it hangs at "File analysis.....". It seems like it want a .tar.md5 file
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] sunmybun:
you cant just rename from zip to tar. you have to use a diff program like 7zip to make into .tar

I had successfully used this method to update to Android 12 (SM-P610_2_20221024120141_tk8omuwosv_fac)

I just tried updating to Android 13 (SM-P610_3_20230118120131_f9h5nltlpa_fac) and after wiping the cache step and rebooting to system, it goes into bootloop.

I tried twice, and in fact I re-downloaded everything and did all the steps just in case there was any corruption in any step or I missed something. Same thing. bootloop.

Had to re-apply Android 12 to recover the tablet.

I used Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] awtompson:
Not really. I did not use the patched Odin but I don't think that'st the problem. The boot after wiping cache did take long time, but no boot loops. The trickiest part is getting it to reboot into download mode after the "Try again" step. Wish I could be more help.

I installed the root - through Odin I flashed the boot.tar obtained by the command "lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img". The file boot.img.lz4 was taken from AP_P615XXU4FWC5_....tar.md5. Then I did Wipe Data => Factory Data Reset and got a bootloop.

From it I can enter the download mode by holding vol + and vol- with the cable connected.

Now I'm trying to flash 2 different firmware, but I get an error on the tablet screen "secure check fail: PIT" and "Fail" in Odin and write: <ID:0/004> Initialzation.. <ID:0/004> Set PIT file.. <ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! <ID:0/004> <ID:0/004> Re-Partition operation failed. <OSM> All threads completed.
