I can!

I used APK Icon Editor which can edit android version compatibility, you can modify icons

Download APK Icon Editor from

here

. Install it on ur pc,

then download a YouTube / any app's APK and paste it / drag it to APK Icon Editor

1: Did I really make it work ? After everythings set up, go to Properties on APK Icon Editor, and edit the Minimum SDK to 14.

Then edit the Target SDK to 21.

2: Edit the "Version code" to the exact same number it shows on "Version name" without dots. And add two zeroes in the end. Then if you are ready, go to Pack APK,type any file name, and you're done! You can install it on your device!
[General Questions and Answers] jonnyprogamer:
The apk you made installs, but crashes, probably because of the API and SDK version, im gonna try to make the youtube 10.x apk look like youtube 15.x version number​

[General Questions and Answers] :
@4rg3ntum

Flashing a (custom) ROM on an Android phone doesn't give one SIM unlock because the SIM lock stuff is in a separate ROM chip that is not part of the normal phone storage, AFAIK the SIM lock is stored in the Radio NVRAM, but I may err as always ...
[General Questions and Answers] 3mel:
Verizon has a 6 month unlock policy. if the phone is free of debt and older than 6 months it should be automatically unlocked. phone them, you bought the phone in good faith.
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
That's why I am thinking of wiping the NVRAM and just re-partitioning. Then I'll flash a non-verizon system onto it. Could be that this resolves it.

Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
I spent 2 hours on the phone with them and spoke to 3 different representatives. They all confirmed the phone was not locked in their system. I read it was 60 day unlock policy.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
With AT&T they give you requested then they gave you an unlock code, it's not automatic. At least it was like this a few years back.
[General Questions and Answers] 3mel:
sorry yeah, 60 days is the right period.
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
So this appears to be true.

I loaded up ADB and turned on USB debugging and started passing shell commands through and found these files in the system with nvram in the name:

/sys/module/dhd/parameters/nvram_path
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_ES03_semco_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es13_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_CS01_semco_b1
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_ES02_semco_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es43_b1
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es41_b1
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es32_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_ES00_semco_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_ES01_semco_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es12_b0
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es42_b1
/vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_1rh_es11_b0

Makes me wonder if the value for locked/unlocked is editable in one of those files.

a sample of what is in the /vendor/firmware/nvram.txt_ES03_semco_b0 file:

### RSDB mode Parameters(Both core are active)
## 2g normal:15dB airplane:14dB
#slice/1/grip_rsdb_dynsar_2g=0xbcbc
#slice/1/grip_rsdb_dynsar_2g_2=0xb8b8
## 5g normal:13dB airplane:12dB
#grip_rsdb_dynsar_5g=0xb4b4
#grip_rsdb_dynsar_5g_2=0xb0b0
#
### FCC Mode: 10dB
#slice/1/fccpwrch12=0x28
#slice/1/fccpwrch13=0x28

In any case I have an issue that I can't seem to resolve. Every guide I have found about how to change carrier firmware is pretty straightforward. Yet when I flash the firmware successfully through odin for say, the sprint version of the phone, upon reboot, in about phone still says VZW, which basically tells me the phone isn't actually flashing.

I need to understand why I can't seem to get it to have another carrier's firmware. What am I doing wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
Maybe I can edit this with ADB?

I have seen several forums where people with the same error message simply flashed another carriers firmware onto the phone and were able to get around it.

Here is someone saying they tried the U1 firmware and it gave them the option to put in an unlock code:

https://xdaforums.com/t/is-verizon-locking-s10.3908683/post-80813873

Every time I try to flash the U1 firmware odin tells me model mismatch.
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
Update:

I flashed the latest available ATT version of U1 firmware from here:

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-N970U1/ATT/N970U1UEU6FUDA

Using Odin patch 3B downloaded from here:

https://www.droidmirror.com/downloading/download-odin3_v3-13-1_3b_patched-zip

Having tried many U firmware + USERDATA from different carriers and never was able to get it to say anything other VZW in the about phone section.

By going to the U1 version I was able to get the unlock code portion to pop up when inserting the sim card, the phone also claims it's model number is SM-N970U1 instead of SM-N970U now.

The code Verizon gave me on the phone 0000 0000 flat out DOESN'T work. I called again today and they had their manager use a tool to provide an unlock code because the "unlock" button in their system didn't appear for my IMEI.

That system said the unlock code is 0000 0000 just like the tech the previous day. So now, they're transferring me to the advanced technical support, but somehow I doubt they will give me a code.

In any case, what I would rather do is go through ADB and try to get some binaries or text files out (may require root for these files) and get the unlock code from the device itself.

I wish this thread was more active because there are some good opportunities here to explore the OS itself and the files in it as well as tools that can be used to read the binary.
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
Spoke with "Advanced" support at verizon. They had no way to generate a code to unlock the device. Basically Verizon's systems didn't automatically generate an unlock code after the previous owners had the phone activated for the minimum 60 days. Because the phone was a prepaid phone and not a post paid phone, their system deleted the history of the of the prepaid account after a certain period of time when the previous owner had sold the phone to the repair shop and it sat there for months.

BASICALLY, Verizon phones are uniquely equipped with a block that prevent legitimate purchasers of various types from being able to use their devices as they hold everyone hostage with their network locking.
[General Questions and Answers] 4rg3ntum:
It looks like I can't root the device either because of the oem unlock option not being present and the workaround of changing the date not presenting the option.

At this point I'm looking to root the device so I can inspect the OS
[General Questions and Answers] TomHanks92:
Hello I came across your thread because I am having the same issue. I think mine is similar because thus phone was a replacement through asurion/verizon. It also says its unlocked when verszon looks and when asurion looks, but I do not have service for more than 10 secind with my new AT&T Sim. Have you found anything new?.

I also looked into rooting the phone but I don't plan to keep this phone and if I want to do the trade in process and they see the root on the back end I will not receive the trade in money.
[General Questions and Answers] yygemmi770:
If Verizon says the phone is unlocked, make sure to Flash the U package with Verizon bloat. Connect phone to Wifi and the unlock should happen. They only seem to unlock when on the Verizon bloat U package. Anything other than that and the phone stays locked. Once it unlocks you can flash back to whatever you want.

It does have a GPS and it does work with TOMTOM 6.

1. Go to programs and slect quickgps and download.

Then go into tomtom and under showgps satus select configure and choose other NMEA GPS, slect baud rate 57600 and then load a destination.

Make sure you are outside tho and it might take 25 mins to get your first ever fix.

Mine connects within seconds now.

The traffic subscription is registered to your account, therefore it will work on version 6 or version 7. However, your maps (6.75?) will not work with tomtom 7, but you can purchase new maps from tomtom home as the touch pro is now recognised by the tomtom home application (version 2.4 or above)

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] menko2:
Hi.

I already bought the chinese 12gb-512gb version of the phone in Wondamobile.

I have now many doubts about the Chinese rom or apps as i have never used a Chinese rom.

I email wondamobile and google pay works and google services are installed.

Return the phone will be around 100$. It didn't arrive yet.

Does it have many changes or things in Chinese even if you put English?

I don't have much time to install different roms, uninstall apps or play with the settings.

What do you recommend?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
I had the same variant in use with CN ROM for some time before I switched to Xiaomi.EU-ROM.

The CN ROM is OK, everything is in English so day-to-day usage is unhindered. This included GPay and full google support. Some apps like Youtube Vanced would not install without disabling MIUI Extensions, but this is an easy thing to do and set it back afterwards.

Oh, and updates are pretty regular (much faster than with the EEA/Global variants)....

So overall I would say: don't fear going with CN ROM !

Now you may ask: and why did you then change to Xiaomi.EU-ROM ? Well, its a bit more polished and adapted to western languages, also it contains a number of tweaks that make it superior for me and my usage of the phone.....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] menko2:
I haven't changed any rom in a phone in a very long time. Is it dificult?

I read the updates have to be done manually in the EU ROM but the whole phone or just checking yourself every now and then?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] semsem1969:
I am using the Chinese Rom since the day I got the phone (April 12), and I am more than happy with it.

Didn't need to lock the bootloader, or flash anything.

One of the best thing I don't get the annoying ADS like the other Roms. Updates are quick and no overheating or such.

Yes on other ROMS it will be Manual

It is my Daily Drive and I love it

Use the Chinese Rom for a little bit and If you find that Global or EU ROM is a must for you, then you have lots of members here who will help you install it.

GOOD LUCK
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Pop over to the Xiaomi EU forum for latest ROMs and instructions, https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-11-pro-ultra-lite.211/

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] menko2:
Thank you very much for the help.

I think in my case as I'm not expert in any case will be to keep the Chinese to avoid "brick" the phone or mess around with the updates from EU ROM.

I was just worry i will be in a mess with the Chinese ROM. But if it's easy-ok to use in English it's fine.

Any list of bloatware or trick i have to do in the Chinese ROM as a must do?

Since the last MIUI update I am experiencing an issue with notification. When using a video player (like Plex, VLC, YouTube Vanced), I usually see a notification icon when using background playback. This is now gone. Also, and this is the main issue actually, when I close the app I still see it in the notification center and when I swipe it away it still occupies the same space. The notifications below it won't move up. And when I put the phone in stand-by and then open it again, the multimedia notification is there again. The only way to get rid of it is to force close the app.

Is anybody else experiencing this ?

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
If you're in edl mode, have you attempted to MSM back to stock?

That's about as low level as you can get, so from a recovery perspective if that doesn't work then nothing will.

Also have you tried holding all the buttons for a long time? Say 30 seconds?

Bare in mind that EDL mode will not remain on for very long, you have to have the MSM tool open and ready for the connection, then with the phone off. Connect it to pc and hold volume up and down, you'll hear the windows ding and it'll say connected on the MSM tool, then and only then click start, flashing should commence and it'll remain locked in EDL until complete.

Lastly you're in warranty so you shouldn't need to buy or replace anything.
