I know that is an old topic but the info that I gave my be usefull who need to visit Turkey more than 15 days.

First of all it's partly restricted to use any phone not bought in Turkey.

I said partly because one who want to use this kind of phone in Turkey has 2 options.

First, if you won't stay more that 15 days in Turkey there is no restrictions. You may use any brand or any type of wireless device that compatible with GSM network.

Second , if you need to stay more than 15 day you may apply any office of any GSM provider (which are AVEA, VODAFONE, OR TURKCELL in Turkey) to register your device.

There are some rules for registration,

You may need to apply with your passport, that show you had enter Turkey within 1 month. Any application after 30 days from the date of arrival time wont accepted.

You may register only 1 device for 1 passport.

You may register only 1 devive in 2 years.

And finally you will be charged for registration fee about €5.

You need to register your phone if you want to use it with your own home country operator. Othervise it will be blocked too, because you will gain your service, over one of Turkish operators.

After registration you may able to use your phone with your own home country operator or Turkish operators.

Note: This process is to prevent illegal importing, to save local customers who need to deal with fake devices. And ofcourese IMEI cloning is illegal in Turkey too.

i have the same question. My intrest is more in tinkering with the tegra x1 in order to get a different root solution not contingent on nvidias closed source crap. I'm running a 2015 foster model and it is getting increasingly difficult to find tutorials on that system specifically with the newer updates. +i am interested in learning the process to exchange the hdd and mopy and manipulate the widevine keys that don't work on mine after the forced 7.2.3 update that occured with all update sofware removed from my system that also fried my controller with a botched firmware update that is blacklisted and not mentioned on the internet except people asking and all replies deleted. you know general unfettered access to the system without the bootloaders say so .

The Fingerprint Unlock feature on this phone NEVER works for me, Adding my fingerprint is really a nightmare, the fingerprint sensor is a joke. Every time when I put my finger on the sensor, either "fingerprint sensor is dirty, please clean and try again" or "only partial fingerprint is scanned" pops up and nothing was done. Does anyone use this feature successfully? Thank you for the info, regards.

SLo
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] BigBadSheep:
Hey there.

I can confirm that the fingerprint sensor has some problems, especially if you use a cover.

And gives more errors when you try to use the big thumb - a logical thumb to use.

I have successfully recognized by the sensor the pointing finger and, as a backup the big thumb. The pointing ☝️ has more rates of success.

Just try to randomly place all parts of your finger onto the sensor.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is a post limit, you have to meet that number of posts to lose "new member" and become member.

They were still a "new member" because they only had 2 posts, it had nothing to do with how long they have had an account, now they have met that limit and are now not a "new" member, just a member. Once they meet the requirements for senior member, they will gain the senior member title.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you seen mine?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
A more meaningful parameter is the post to reaction ratio. I want to see at least 30% but 50% or higher is more on the mark for older members posting good content. Some older members are at 130% or higher. It gives a good idea of how well you are engaging on a forum.

There are different ways to achieve this. Creating popular roms, software and posting/supporting them here is a definite winner. It's rather interesting to watch.

If I'm thinking of punching the ignore button on someone a low reaction score ratio clinches it.

However that doesn't necessarily save them if they get on my bad side proper🤣
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In some cases, myself and a lot of older members and Moderators included, post count to reaction count comparison can be misleading because we have many posts posted in sections that aren't help or development related, posts that a reaction is irrelevant and unnecessary, posts that are posted "outside" the regular forums/threads that everyday members don't even know are there because they can't see them.

I probably have a few thousand or more posts from when I was on the XDA Assist team and when I was a moderator that didn't require a reaction that are skewing/diluting my post to reaction percentage. I'm certain a lot of us older members from the various "special" roles in our time here have similar diluted post counts.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Hey I did noticed that, but wasn't going to say anything🤣

You actually probably should have quite a few more. When they made a system change here a while back I lost all or most of my like points. Whatever. I don't get too blown away with it.

I've had newbies ask how to get XP points, to help them. Now that irritates me. How the hell am I suppose to know or care how to get XP points? Sort a like the car cigarette ashtray that's filled... XP points just happen🤣
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think in your case, it is saying that you have unlocked 1,247 achievements. I think that is a mistake or something because there aren't that many achievements that can be unlocked, there are only like 300, more or less, nowhere close to 1,247. That is what is skewing your xp points to be what they are, from what I'm seeing, that value can't be correct though I don't know how it is incorrect or how it can be corrected or even if it's even worth caring about correcting it.

Also, with reaction score, upvote, solution and best solution counts, it is a convoluted mess tracking what is good content and what isn't.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Sorry bub, not getting my secrets that easy.

Some of those are bastard points for sure🤣

[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Since @blackhawk wants to keep it close to the vest (😉) I'll just say something that I noticed even before becoming a moderator -- there are achievements that are repeatable and XP points that get compounded. At the time I found out, I was also curious how certain members were having such high rank but their reaction levels weren't all too high....

In the end @ZG089 , it's all about engagement in the site -- not just how high you might rank on leaderboards...

Also you'll find a lot of members get "liked" more as an acknowledgement that their post was read than it was any particularly good or helpful post....
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
Very personal and absolutely no official staff opinion: I'd appreciate if a kind of AI algorism were implemented that avoid that the hundreds of useless posts by some members weren't added to the post count. While reaction score might be one indication of quality posts and contributions, achievements, XP and level are of no value at all. Example:

View attachment 5971811

How can a very long time member with just 128 posts over 12 years have such values.

The system is not only useless but faulty and was probably only implemented in Xenforo (we hadn't that on vBulletin) to satisfy demands used from the most popular asocial media. But I agree that it's not worth for the site owners to invest money to get the achievement system fixed.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
I appreciate it but what *if* this AI got problems, like a post is on-topic to a thread the post in , was not counted 🙃
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Also , the person who wants to have more posts to be added to lb , needs that posts should not to be a SPAM , and that's what I avoid, too !
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
Please don't take me serious on this. I'm an absolute opponent of AI and AI posts on XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Ok

[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Not because u do not like ai but I am actually afraid from it
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
AI is a cat that will get out of the bag, it isn't a question of "if" but "when". I'm not optimistic about being able to rein it in when it does. When it comes to AI, we are like monkeys playing with loaded pistols, disaster is inevitable.

No choice for me as I don't use Google for privacy reasons. As search engines I rather use searx or startpage and not necessarily one with servers in the USA.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lexiannn:
I'm currently trying to root my Samsung S8+ (G955FD). I've followed the TWRP guide, step by step, but I've run into a roadblock trying to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.

I've repeated the steps from the TWRP multiple times, but every time i attempt to flash no-verify it prints:

If i attempt to install the no verity with the 'Zip signature verification' ticked, It prints the same but instead of "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1" it prints "Zip signature verification failed!".

I've tried multiple different mirrors, and verified the hash, so I'm not exactly sure what Zip signature is.

I accidentally attempted to boot into system after installing TWRP for the first time and got stuck on the boot-loop, and i assume it's still that way, in a boot-loop. I did a complete factory reset prior to attempting this. I'm 99% sure I enabled USB de-bugging in dev settings. I've tried wiping the preload partition to get rid of the "Failed to mount /preload message". I have no backup of anything. I hope I'm not leaving out any info..

P.S - I do recall getting some pretty big errors while attempting to format data partition. Here is a imgur link of what it printed.. , but after repeating the steps from TWRP, these errors are nowhere to be found.

P.P.S - At least let me know if i need to buy a new phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
P.P.S - At the worst case your would only need to flash stock firmware.

You will always get the error message when your first format your data through TWRP.

It seems that the no- verity-opt-encrypt zip is causing the same issues as yours mainly on android 9 ( pie ) with other people to.

Your can repeat your TWRP proceedure but instead of using the no- verity-opt-encrypt zip use the one from this guide

https://xdaforums.com/t/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/

You will probably have to add ' quota ' to the file name.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lexiannn:
Sorry, but I don't fully understand what you mean by this. I literally just add the word 'quota' to the name of the .zip file? Just quota? Does it need to be in a specific order, letter case or with or without quotations?

I can't seem to find a solid answer on the thread.

I normally add after forceenrypt before the date.

Tonight I attempted to install a skin for the Windows Mobile calculator. I did a soft-reset after installing the cab and then received an error when trying to launch the calculator. It said the skin could not be found, so I uninstalled the skin only to find it took my entire calculator app with it.

I checked \Windows\ for calc.exe, mscalc.exe and everything else I could think of, but no dice. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Reinstalling the cab seems to reestablish the shortcuts, but I'm still not able to find the program and it won't launch.

Anyone have any suggestions of a replacement app or could anyone supply me with the executable to copy back to my phone?

I think my PC doesn't have the proper Fastboot Drivers. Can someone lead me to them?

My problem is, every Custom ROM with a Fastboot ROM doesn't work. Their Install&Format.bat scripts don't work properly.

Their script would do its tasks, until "fastboot reboot fastboot". It would hang at "Waiting for any device", because my PC doesn't detect Fastbootd devices, I'm highly sure.

Edit: Shortly after making this post, I solved my problem. I was correct. The problem was indeed a missing or failing Fastboot driver in Windows.

c.mi.com

I followed that website, and disabled Driver Signature Enforcement, downloaded the linked driver & installed it. Now Fastbootd works :)

Edit #2: Turns out Mi Flash has the same drivers! You just need to disable Driver Signature Enforcement before installing the drivers, otherwise it won't install *all*.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
"Was only able to get Fastboot ROMs to work" So they worked for you? Or typo?

I did try out ArrowOS, it's really nice and simple. I saw that it has Blur effects in the UI compared to the other ROMs which don't. But it doesn't have many other features, it doesn't have *any* Sound effects at all, unfortunately.

I tried out Xiaomi.eu, ArrowOS, Havoc OS and Syberia OS. Lastly I'll try out crDroid.

I think of going back to Xiaomi.eu which is my daily driver. I don't like MIUI, but I really like all the Camera features, the Dolby Atmos Sound (important for me), and the Font thiccness setting

Hi

also found the same Guide.... :)

Did you also use the latst instruction or not ?

bcdedit /set testsigning off ... ?

So far i have only ever managed to get into FastbootD by conection via ADB.

open Power_Shell - via "shift + Right mouse klick"

Run Command : adb reboot fastboot.

phone (mi11lite5g) is then in FastbootD mode.

Could this be because i already flshed miui-eu 12.5.3 via fastboot ( non stock Recovery ? )

still get some partition not found error...

If i use the "fastboot reboot fastboot" method (as described in the How_To)... nothing happens...

FYI.. also its impossible to connect to the phone with the MiPCSuite or the Mi-Flash tool

The Mi-Flash tool recognises the device, But i cannot flash any stock image to the phone, as this results in an Error.

any advice Much appreciated.
