I am not responsible for any loss or damages done by you

Before we proceed we must first unlock the bootloader.

Unlocking Bootloader​

Unlocking the bootloader on modern Samsung devices have some caveats. The newly introduced VaultKeeper service will make the bootloader reject any unofficial partitions in some cirumstances.

Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking

Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press the download mode key combo for your device

Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.

Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again in later steps. Connect the device to Internet during the setup.

Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader.

Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode

Instructions​

Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.

Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_A750FXX.tar.md5

Install Zarchiver from the Play Store.

Click on AP file and rename AP_A750FXX.tar.md5 to AP_A750FXX.tar

Once you have renamed AP file click and again you will be given the option to extract. Once extracted, locate boot.img.lz4

Then extract boot.img.lz4 leaving you with boot.img

Install Magisk manager and launch it.

Use Magisk Manager to patch boot.img, once patched locate magisk_patched.img and rename it into boot.img

Return to Zarchiver and locate the patched boot.img and compress to boot.tar

Move compressed boot.tar to your computer and rename to boot.img.tar

Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash boot.img.tar in AP slot.

Once odin says pass, your device will boot to stock recovery and you will have to do a factory reset.

After device boots go through the initial setup and connect the device to Internet during the setup.

Enable developer options in settings, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out.

Reinstall Magisk manager and follow all prompts.

Congatulations! Your phone is now rooted.

Hello! Thank you for this guide. I followed all the steps, but after flashing and reinstalling Magisk, it doesn't ask me for additional setup. Do you have any advice?

[Realme GT] cinek15c:
Hello,

I have been the owner of the Realme GT 5G phone for 2 weeks - it has Andoird 11 (v RMX2202_11_A.11) with realme UI 2.0. I spent hours trying to configure a few things, but I failed. As I didn't get the desired results, I decided to try to find help on the forum.

So, starting from the beginning:

1. I have a problem with the Facebook Messenger app, because when I work in vibration mode, notifications coming from the app are only signaled with a very short and delicate vibration. This vibration lasts for about 1 millisecond, which I can barely feel when I'm holding phone in my hand and expecting the notification. I checked vibration for notifications from other applications and they work properly.

a) I have all notification settings turned on in the Messenger app.

b) In settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> vibration intensity -> the sliders for the vibration with the ring and the vibration with the notification I have set to maximum

c) Battery settings for Messenger app are "optimization off"

When I have ring mode on, the Messenger notifications are properly signaled with a sound.

So what is wrong with vibration pattern for this app? Why the notifications are not properly signaled? What can I do to get normal vibration notification?

2. I have 2 games in "Game space app", version of the app is 4.5.27_6d29cc7_210603.

a) When I'm using app #1 - the Messenger chat bubbles are on top of the app, so I can see them for the entire time <- and that's what I would like to achieve.

b) When I'm using app #2 - the Messenger chat bubbles are hiding under the app #2, so I have to show the navigation bar (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), to see chat bubbles on the screen.

In settings for Messenger I have set "Display over other apps" as on.

Which setting is responsible for this feature?

3. Another problem with notifications from some apps (inter alia: Gmail, and game #1).

I'm using original Always On Display mode.

The problem is that some notifications don't come when the phone is locked and Always On Display is working.

Notifications from text messages, calls, facebook messenger or game #2 arrive normal, at the time of their receipt.

But from Gmail or game #1 notifications only arrive when I press the power button and wake up the screen. So when the screen is locked, there are no chances to get notification from those apps. This is silly because notifications are there to notify you of an event when you are not using your phone. But in this case, they only notify when the phone is in use.

a) Battery settings for these apps are "optimization off", "allow auto startup", "allow background activity".

b) In notification settings these apps have all settings on. They can notify everywhere and everytime but that doesn't solve the problem.

What else can I do, to receive these notifications on time?

Thank you for your help :)
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro  Questions & Answers] rusLowski:
Hello everyone,

so I´ve updated my xiaomi 10 Pro to MIUI 12.5.2.0 stable. The Update reseted all my settings and I can´t change my background on start and lock screen.

Iam using the nova launcher and tried other launcher (like the system launcher) but nothing happened. So I installed different Wallpaper Apps and nothing happened.

On the Internet some people told, that you have to deactivate the dark mode.... it didn´t solve the problem.

So next step would be to do a factory reset. Which Backup App do u use or does someone have the same problem and can help me?

Best regards and thank you for the help

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MisterSosa:
It is impossible because it is build out of a tile and then put on to a 3D-like surface. And if I remember correctly it is in 2 parts. you can only change those 2 parts but you can not have an image (non-solid) as background.

Untill somebody cracks this that is ... :)

BTW: which theme are you using ?

Help: I have a rooted Oneplus 7 Pro, it works fantastic.

Until I try to play a game called Walkr.

The game CS told me I cannot play it because I am rooted.

Are there any Walkr user here on Oneplus 7 Pro? Are you unroot/rooted and able to play it properly? Could you share your device setting?

Or, could someone, who is unroot, kindly download the game Walkr and check if you could open it normally?

Appreciate a lot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendaryCheerio:
did you ever figure out how to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James wick:
Step 1: Enable USB Debugging

The first thing you need to do is turn on Developer Options on your phone by going to Settings, finding the About phone section, and then tapping the Build number until you get a message that says You are now a developer!.

Next, go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking.

Step 2: Connect Your Phone to Your Computer

Connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable.

On your PC, navigate to the location where the SDK Platform Tools folder is saved and put the Android factory image you downloaded there. Factory images usually come in ZIP files that contain IMG files; unzip the factory image right there in the Platform Tools folder.

Now, while still in the Platform Tools folder, hold Shift and right-click inside the window, and then select Open PowerShell window here.

In the PowerShell window that opens, type adb devices to check if your phone is being detected. If it is, you should see its serial number listed. If not, try using a different USB cable.

Step 3: Unlock the Bootloader

Once your device is in fastboot mode, now it's time to unlock your phone's bootloader. This is a crucial step as without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install the previous version of Android on your phone.

Depending on your device, type fastboot oem unlock, and if this doesn't work, type fastboot flashing unlock instead. If everything goes well, you should see a confirmation on your device that the bootloader is now unlocked. This step will also wipe your device.

Step 4: Install the Older Version of Android

Some manufacturers will include a "flash-all" script as part of the downloaded factory image that will automatically flash everything for you. If this is the case, the script should be in the SDK Platform Tools folder along with the IMG files you extracted.

Now, double-click on the flash-all.bat script. A box should pop up showing you the flashing process as it happens. Please do not unplug your phone during this process!

Your phone should now restart. If everything went well, you should now be running a downgraded version of Android. You'll need to set your phone up again from scratch.

Greetings,

J Wick
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] booboo2009:
Despite trawling through the various guides and troubleshooting I still seem to be struggling.

I have an HTC touch diamond locked on the orange network. I am having severe problems installing HardSPL.I run the installer (romupdateutility.exe) to install Olinex 1.4, i follow all the instructions, but when it comes to updating the phone, it simply disconnects USB with 10 seconds or so of starting, jumps from 0% to 100% instantly and then tells me it was successful.

Perhaps all is well, but it just seems far to quick, especially as it mentions it takes 10 minutes, where for me its taking 10 seconds or so. The screen goes black after I tap yes on the phone to accept the process, but basically all the phone is doing is resetting (hard reset I assume because it starts like it would on first ever switch on - clock set, screen calibrating etc). I have checked the boot version which does actually state 1.4 olinex, but its seems to have installed far too quick.

The phone never gets a status bar when installing, just goes black and basically restarts.

Any ideas or is it normal to be so quick.

I am installing from a vista machine, but have also tried with xp machine. Also tried installing 1.38 and 1.24 with similar problems.

Help Please
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 964rs777:
why did you not post in the diamond forum.

vista you have to be admin.

if you cant do it in xp then you are doing it wrong.

read up on it and follow the instuctions.

it does work as everyone who has flashed thier rom has done it.

I come from a mi9 which unfortunately ended at the bottom of the sea.

However, I don't want to loose quality when it comes to photography. I was able to take really good landscape pictures and milky way pics withgcam astro mode.

Will be able to keep this good quality with nord2 stock? You think guys we will have good gcams.for this device or they cant be optimized for mediatek?

Hello everyone! I just made the Galaxy A51 live wallpaper for other devices, I really don't know how to call it :unsure:

Normally, the video will be played on the lock screen. But i make it a still image on lock screen and after unlocking the video will play :)

Installation Instructions:

1. Install the apk file

2. Download the wallpaper app by google on play store

3. Open the wallpaper app, select "Live Wallpaper"

4. Choose the A51 Live Wallpaper

5. Set for both lock screen and home screen.

6. Enjoy 🥳

Notes:

1. I made it by change the video file of the Lg G8 live wallpaper port. So if you're installing a lg g8 live wallpaper (I don't remember which one) then install this a51 live wallpaper will replace the lg g8's.

2. I'm a newbie in this so it may not work Tested on: Galaxy A50s

Hi,

I have Visual Studio 2005 and i want to create a DLL that includes resources like Icons and bitmaps, so i made one and tried to compile and create the DLL (Used C++) and it gives me the error error LNK2001:.....

I thought that i must use ARM Platform or Pocket PC, because on the Project Properties is Win32 set as Platform!

Sorry i never used Visual Studio ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] idsk:
yes if you want to compile it for pocket pc, you got to change the platform

if you only got win32, maybe you didn't install the windows mobile SDK (you will find it in microsoft website, wm6 is the lastest i think)

you got to install it, then you choose the WM platform before compile
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Droios:
Hello,

I have an Xperia 5 II with Android 11 that all of a sudden one day when I enabled the hotspot to use with my ipad, it stopped working properly, the device connects to the hotspot just fine I just cannot access the internet, i tried with other devices and still have the same issue.

I have reset network settings on the Xperia and the other devices, setup the hotspot without a password, restart the phone try again but no luck, the last thing I want to do is restore to factory settings.

Do any of you guys have any idea if there is a way to clear some kind of cache on Android to make it work again?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Droios:
Hmm interesting that there isn't an option to clear the system cache while on Recovery, any other ideas under the Apps & Notifications that can be cleared?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
On Sony it in settings under storage somewhere.

Samsung has it on the boot menu.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Droios:
Not on Sony's phones i think. I searched there as well and found nothing, thanks for responding!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's sort of buried but it's there, somewhere... it has to be there.

Try this;

Wiping Cache through Recovery Mode​

Power off the device

Press and hold the power button and volume UP button until recovery mode appears

Use volume buttons to highlight ‘wipe cache partition‘ and use the power key to select it.

Confirm with power button if required

After the wiping operating is completed press on the “Reboot system now” option on the screen.

Finally, all cache has been successfully cleared from your Sony Xperia 5 II device.

Finally, You may have wiped out the cache partition of your phone. Now you will notice that your phone will perform better, using multiple apps will be fun, and it’ll be restarted very quickly.

Here's how it's done on another Sony variant.

Wow, Sony is really strange about ii;

Tutorials | T-Mobile Support

If the first method doesn't work do some more digging. The last one may but I can't verify that... which I don't like.

You may have to call Sony support.

Didn't think it be this hard... let me know what gets it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Droios:
I've already looked through Recovery my friend, it does not apply to newer Xperias such as mine.

I will contact Sony and see if there is a way to do it.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It may be a button sequence than.

You wouldn't think they make it this hard.

Do you have a search option in your settings?

If so try a search for it.

Yeah you really want to be able to do that. It can solve many bizarre glitches and save you from a reset. I do it as needed or every month or so as routine maintenance.
