Hi @Ujwal2000 thanks for the guide.

I am using the stock android 10 rom and magisk patch method.

This also leads to non working wifi and magisk does not recognize that its installed.

Which steps of your guide apply to the stock rom?

i do not need gapps nor twrp I guess I only wanted to root the stock rom with magisk.

Guide - How to root the Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2 using Magisk

Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2 come with an unlockable bootloader. The thing that compliments unlocked bootloader best is root access. So, this guide will help you in rooting the Nokia 7.2 or Nokia 6.2. You have a choice between Magisk patched boot images and TWRP recovery. I’d recommend going the...

Hello! Friends!

Because our language is not English

Even if my English is not good, please understand with your kindness!

First of all, I bought a Pixel 4 xl (Renew) factory unlock from Amazon.

but because of bad seller

I was very disappointed to find out that my phone was at&t locked.

Because my nationality is Korea

No one could solve this problem.

Because I don't know how to contact at&t and I can't.

Selling at&t unlocked service on eBay

I paid for it and tried to unlock it.

And it worked. I'm very happy!

Finally, the Pixel 4 is available.

And set one by one

Can't download e-sim.

Apparently at&t was unlocked (I checked it on the at&t website!)

My phone imei is fine!

But is this another issue with at&t unlocking?

What should I do?

As I've said before, I have no and no way to contact at&t.

So that I can use all the features of my Pixel 4

Thank you very much for your help.

I want help from friends here like the Avengers!

Thanks for reading the long post.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Sorry, but it looks like your phone is still carrier locked to AT&T. Until the phone is unlocked you will not be able to use it. If you access the developer options and you toggle the "allow OEM unlocking"? If this is greyed out or you are not able to toggle on, your phone is still carrier locked. The carrier lock has to be removed before you can use a different SIM or bootloader unlock. IF YOU CAN TOGGLE then bootloader unlock the phone and flash an image for your region.

There may be other methods to carrier unlock your phone on the black market but you won't find any information regarding that here.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] whitemilk_kor:
Already my pixel has bootloader unlocked

It's not a global ROM, is there a ROM for each country?

Ooh, a fact I didn't know!

I wonder where to download Korean roms.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
​

Annyeonghaseyo!

How do you know your phone is unlocked? You didn't answer my question about the OEM unlocking toggle. Have you enabled USB debugging? In fastboot mode does it say "Device state: unlocked" If so, good!

If not, make sure usb debugging is enabled (dev options) and type the following commands in fastboot mode and post the exact responses:

fastboot get_unlock_ability

fastboot oem device-info

fastboot getvar cid

There are no Korean images, but some region specific for your carriers. There you will find for some months there are region specific images. Not every month. Just grab the latest one (July) and you may be able to fix your issue. Follow one of the guides here on flashing. Do not edit the flash-all.bat script. If you get any errors, capture those errors and post here.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] whitemilk_kor:
Thank you very much for your interest in my problem!

The unlock toggle is like the picture.

Also like unlocked device state in fastboot.

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

I installed all of them in July, June, and May from this link

But when I scan e-sim qr, at&t is not activated like the picture.

Ironically, I bought the first one and used the e-sim.

And after factory reset, e-sim does not work for no reason

Why is the e-sim that was working fine, not activating after factory reset?

thanks again for your kindness

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I don't know anything about using an e-sim. I do know that if you factory reset from recovery mode it prompts you whether or not to delete all e-sim data. Maybe if you factory reset and delete all e-sim data you will have the opportunity to use your e-sim again? Just a guess. Also, why not try using a physical SIM card?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max@@:
Hello every body ,,

I’m new here to this website , i have problem with my shield tv 2017 , spent several days without having a single solution or answer , pleaee help me , and i appreciate that’s .

my young brother has flashed shield tv 2017 with android ver 6.0 for mobile phone image. by mistake , right i will can boot normally and i can play the devices as a phone , and this is not what meant to be for using shield Tv, as i’m using it as TV box .

this device is now can be bootable and i only can run bootloader through ADB minimal by cmd , not by hardware using the shield controller because is wrong ROM image for phone but i can use shield controller inside the bootable system of the wrong flashed android image for the android phone .

now to roll back to shield tv stock image i need to unlock oem through bootloader , every time i run bootloader through adb commands it’s run fine by “adb reboot bootloader” then fastboot oem unlock , everything fine to here , the problem is that’s i can’t control bootloader interface no matter for moving option up and down or choose option on bootloader to confirm unlocking , no matter by shield tv controller or usb keyboard !!! so it’s keep showing me those attached screen and even on CMD it’s showing waiting after i run command oem unlock”

so unfortunately i’m stucked here . please note that’s usb keyboard and shield controller is working fine inside the system after normal boot .

i hope any advice or help to do . thank you so much

Hi,

IE 6 for mobile devices has been anncounced. When will it be available? Can't say for sure, but for more info including screenshots, go here: http://www.theunwired.net/?item=bro...obile-6-aka-6-on-6-is-real-and-shows-its-face

I really like the compatibility option in IE6! Not to mention, it'll include flash.

Looks like with this or skyfire, we won't have any problem with flash sites on Xperia or any other mobile device for that matter...

Best regards.
[XPERIA X1 General] htcplussony:
Thanks for the link! Wish they mention flash and silverlight though.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
This was what was said by Microsoft when it first announced IE Mobile 6: "The new version of Internet Explorer Mobile adds the ability to easily view full-screen Web pages and multimedia on the Web with a smartphone. By taking advantage of Internet Explorer 6 technologies and supporting established and upcoming industry standards such as H.264, Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight, the updated Internet Explorer Mobile gives people a rich mobile Internet experience."
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
hard to get excited imho

most people who are into computer

are moving away from all browsers

made by ms as they are less secure and

behind with nicking features from the rest

and a lot slower

i'll take a chome, opera, firefox or even safari on my wm

device before i turn back to PIE
[XPERIA X1 General] netnerd:
i tried chrome, i moved back to explorer!

chrome is like a lite version of explorer.
[XPERIA X1 General] mkent_barbados:
I used to think I felt that way, but I find myself more and more turning to PIE when I just want to check Facebook or Engadget. I can browse one handed, and over GPRS it's much faster (not the browser itself, but as the mobile versions of these pages bring down much less data...) and loads up faster as well. I still like Opera for the full web experience but PIE does come in handy...much better on my battery life as well.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Talking of browsers from Microsoft... (not on mobile device) you should definitely check out IE 8 Beta preview... it has improved a lot!

I have Firefox and Chrome installed on my laptop, but mostly use IE.
[XPERIA X1 General] netnerd:
i perfer PIE too, it loads instantly!

Opera Mobile 9.5 takes 2-3 seconds to load.

i love Opera mobile 9.5 too, i use it for those sites that PIE cant handle.
[XPERIA X1 General] pf:
After having security problems in the past only with IE, i will never use it again except for special microsoft offices updates. Firefox does the work for me better and more safe. Never had problems with firefox since it is out :)
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
I kind of went through that same phase... IE had become completely unreliable. But disabling pop-ups pretty much took care of any such problems, not to mention adding a spyware to the machine doesn't hurt either.

Greets. A friend with an S7 Edge (935FD running 935F fw) wants these two keys swapped, to match all other phones she's ever used. Is there any good way to do that? If so and if root or coding are required, I can do both.

Btw, she likes the hard keys over adding soft keys onscreen, but would go with soft keys if absolutely necessary.

TIA!

PS: Apologies if this has been asked & answered. I did try searching but it's kinda hard to figure the right search terms, so I might've missed it.

An easy way to do it with root is to copy off the back.xml and recent_apps.xmls from SystemUI.apk res/layout folder (just unzip the SystemUI.apk, no need to decompile/recompile). switch the names and copy back (then zip SystemUI back up and replace).

I've just bought the Diamond and I absolutely love it... I'm still a noobie with such phone and am learning to use it! it's a bit slow and I'm hoping you can tell me which program to download so I can make it that much faster.

The other problem I have is that every few minutes I try to make a call and the operator msg comes on and says that I do not have enough credits to make the call (I'm currently with Etisalat in Dubai). My phone is full on credits and as soon as I switch off the phone and on again I can make the call. This problem didn't start when I first bought the phone it started a few days ago...

Any suggestions guys? Thanks for your help... much appreciated:)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] felloffthetruck:
Just wondering if anyone with the Phantom Black S21 Ultra has noticed any scratches, chips, flaking paint or other damage to the flat black painted area of the camera hump after months of use?

Just installed another glass protector and wondering if I even need this this thing? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
Better safe than sorry :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Not sure how resistant to scratches it is. After watching JerrRigEverything's durability test video, it appears that the aluminum housing of the camera is more scratch prone than the glass back (makes sense as aluminum is softer than glass). Didn't want to find out the hard way, so slapped on a skin on the phone two days after I got it. Doesn't add bulk (phone is too big for me to use with a case) and the peace of mind that the underlying surfaces are scratch proof is just priceless.

But every once in a while when i change skins (I like to change up the appearance every month or so) I marvel at how beautiful the Phantom black color looks in its pristine naked glory. Wish I was brave enough to rock it butt naked, but I'd probably have a meltdown if a scratch appeared anywhere.

So it's a skins and a liquid skin protector sandwich for me... at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zoman7663:
Spigen Platinum screen protector and clear back case! Shows off the Phantom Black while still being protected. Perfect for me! Never naked... That's bad mojo.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You need a good case or the phone will get destroyed.

The built in cam lens protector is replaceable. Any additional optical elements will degrade the image.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimLJT:
oh thankfully I am not the only. I do really thought that I am just careless enough to have this scratch thing on flat area on my back camera. felt relieved now that it is easily scratch. So I guess need to find a protector on this part now but really got no problem since the lenses are really fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Sand is hard enough scratch any glass...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimLJT:
yeah thanks for this but I am fully aware about it and since from s9 plus to my s21 I never installed protection of my screen and camera and everything is fine. it is just that this s21 flat black area on camera bump scratch easily and it is a bit annoying like what the OP said but got no problem with the glasses 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
A good case prevents direct contact.

I rarely even have to clean mine. After over 1.5 years the plastic factory lense protector has no scratches or marring. Simply clean with a dry microfiber cloth...

One drop onto concrete and a corner or display hit can destroy a phone. Internal components including chipsets can be destroyed by high G impacts. A case spreads out the G loading to within tolerable levels.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimLJT:
I just can't bear the color nor brightness shift with protector installed. I just rely all the protection with my case, actually bought a bunch of screen protectors already before my phone arrived and yeah didn't installed it 😅.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I've been using Gorilla IQ Sheild for over a year. A wet apply plastic that holds up very well. After a year the first one had very slight yellowing. Good for at least 6 months. Just don't stretch it, at all and make sure there's no lint or dust on the display before applying (it will create unremovable bubbles). Because it's a wet apply you have more leeway placing it but try to get it close when you first lay it down, tic-tok...

Works well on a curved screen and sets up completely in a couple hours. If it lifts up on a corner as long as you don't get dust under or stretch it, you can successfully push back in place. Pretty cool, self healing and cheap.

The Bolt case is a tight fit so placement is critical. I wet sand the inner surfaces of the case corner with #600 grit to make sure it's smooth.

Bottom of the phone goes in first, then both top corners are snapped in place in unison. Done.

The outer shell snaps on easily. Botton side goes on first but come off last during break down.

Every 2 months or so I disassemble the case to clean the interior to prevent grit from marring the side rail finish.

Screen protectors are a curse to apply. That's one reason I like this brand so much. It's fairly forgiving... and cheap if you goof up. So far even though I have extras, I've gotten on right the first time. This last one though I missed 3 pieces of lint that were from my microfiber cloth, my bad🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cpufrost:
I wish they would just make the whole phone thick enough so there were no camera bumps whatsoever. The "glass" covering/protecting the camera elements can be made of scratch resistant sapphire. With the increased interior volume comes a two working day battery, ~6500mAh.

One can dream, right? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
At one point Apple was considering using a sapphire covered display.

For the camera not sure sapphire has the needed optical qualities... likely doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cpufrost:
Optical quality is fine as in real world use it will NEVER be optimal with handling and fod contamination.

Apple's covers claim to be sapphire but not a good quality such as the crystal on the SS watches.

In any case it would be far better to have the entire thing smooth instead of individual lens protrusions. The shaver look started with the 11 pro and continues with the 12 pro series. Looks like the 13 pro they will stick out even further!

Oh and bring back the ceramic backs on the higher end models! The 512GB and 1TB S10+ models with ceramic back were the bomb!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
It can not be smooth. 3 individual lens.

Law of refraction... for every optical layer you add you create more refaction. High dollar multiple element lense systems go to great lengths to minimize and correct for this effect.

The added element also can create internal reflections that are pure demons.

Because of the very limited space using curvature on the optics is also limited as is diameter. That also means minimum corrective elements. It's not uncommon to see a dozen expensive optical elements in a pro lense. Just one element is more expensive than the whole cam phone to produce.

There are a lot of conflicts and compromises...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/article/2080353-cornings-gorilla-glass-is-optically-superior-to-sapphire

There's little doubt sapphire is inferior to the specialized glasses used for advance camera lenses or even a good Heliopan UV filter for anti reflective and light transmission qualities.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cpufrost:
They can definitely have a single cover over everything and have great results. I have a tempered glass cover over my 12 Pro Max array, makes it super easy to clean and pictures turn out fine even at night with bright pinpoint light sources.

Internal reflections are already ridiculous stock. Many photos have to be touched up and video is even worse before CV19 and live gigs were a thing.

The other optical parameters are on a level that isn't going to matter much on such tiny phone sensors and optics without making them prohibitively expensive. We don't need optics with high spec scratch/dig qualities!

And while sapphire may be inferior to glass, as soon as the glass is scratched even at a micron level, its optical quality is far worse. In either case one can see it's a moot point in real world as many photos/videos are witnessed with heavy optical aberrations on pinpoint sources because the lens covers are smudged to hell and back. Don't even get me started on vertical video syndrome! ;-)

A last thing I will add, the OnePlus 9 pro did not exhibit the reflections like my S21 Ultra or 12 Pro Max. I doubt the fact that having Hasselblad's name on it has much to do with things but it's definitely noticeable. Both the 12 Pro Max AND 1+ 9 Pro ruin the audio on video with awful zoom feature. At least allow users to turn that off!
[Windows 10 Mobile] seaephpea:
Hi,

I finally tried to try installing desktop Windows on my old Windows Phone (Lumia 950).

I have followed the instructions for Windows Phone Internals for unlocking the bootloader (as well as is possible given that none of the driver download links seem to work anymore).

Windows Phone Internals always gets part way through the bootloader unlocking process, and then fails when it tried to get into Mass Storage mode. See the log extract below.

I tried this with both v2.8 and the GitHub latest, compiled from source. I also tried it from two different PCs.

I guess this must be due to some missing driver? Could someone point me to the driver I need to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

* Avoid Thunderbolt capable ports.
