[General Questions and Answers] areallydumbperson:
Try switching slots in fastboot if your device is a/b but typing fastboot --set-active=a you'll have to erase data tho
[General Questions and Answers] areallydumbperson:
Before you try that if u have installed updates when u first upgraded emui then it won't work
[General Questions and Answers] Koamanl:
Will it work on emui 9.01???
[General Questions and Answers] areallydumbperson:
Maybe (just rememver your data will be erased if it works or if ut doesn't)
[General Questions and Answers] Koamanl:
Strange fastboot says that my phone does not have slots, but through treble checker app it tells me that my phone as a a/b partition.
[Moto G30] Drysauce:
Hello, I am wondering if I can flash the stock boot.img again to de-root my device in case I want to go back. Is it also possible to reflash the entire stock rom again from fastboot? If not how would I go about doing that.
[Moto G30] sd_shadow:
Yes flashing the original unpatched boot.img will unroot.

If you made any changes while rooted, they will remain and may cause issues,
[Moto G30] Drysauce:
Thank you for your quick response.

unrelated question, but I also plan on porting TWRP onto this phone too. Is there any chance of bricking my phone if I were to boot up a custom recovery from fastboot, not flash, but BOOT it? If its incompatible would it just default back into fastboot or something like that?
[Moto G30] Kuntitled:
Only booting it shouldn't cause anything.
[Moto G30] Drysauce:
ok thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] brockyneo:
Hi guys I've just received my s21 ultra from sky mobile UK as I sent my other one back due to dust under the lenses to Samsung UK

But the one from sky I think is an import as the seal is different I'll post a pic

It's the first time I've had anything like that just asking if anyone else has had similar things and should it still function ect as a original UK veriant

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] brockyneo:
Yeh it's the exynos veriant and build date is 1st August 2021 just seems strange it's obviously been opened and I think they have changed a few things like the booklets ext as looks different to the one I got from Samsung UK website

I'm hoping it's not a refurb or anything like that lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MAX 404:
Hi

You can use this app , it will tell you if the phone is a refurbish
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] brockyneo:
Yeh comes up on the app as original to be fair the phone seems perfect just throw me off with a different seal and can tell the original ones have been broken

Been in touch with sky mobile and they assure me it's new and that it might be something to do with the whole Brexit thing thats gone on 😤

Can I ask I had the s21 ultra off Samsung UK website which I got the 512gb 16gb version

I have the 256bg 12gb from sky as they didn't have the larger one is they no difference at all apart from the memory and ram? Are all the s21 ultras identical apart from this and obviously the exynos and snapdragon

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MAX 404:
Glad is an original

The Brexit , no way , I was expecting the covid excuse but not that one

Regarding your question about the differences

This are the memory / ram options

MEMORY	Card slot	No
Internal	128GB 12GB RAM, 256GB 12GB RAM, 512GB 12GB RAM, 512GB 16GB RAM
UFS 3.1

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] brockyneo:
Lol thanks for the reply so apart from the memory and soc differences there all identical because if so I'll proberly stay with the 256gb

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Drysauce:
I plan on developing a TWRP recovery for my phone (which doesn't have one ATM) In order to do this, I need to run tests on my device to see if it will work or not. I know flashing a custom recovery that isnt compatible/is corrupted, etc can brick your phone but would simply booting a custom recovery cause any issues? So I would just run fastboot boot twrp.img, Would that brick my phone if it doesn't work or would it just go back into fastboot mode/reboot itself? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't cause a brick but I'm a bit of a newbie so I need some confirmation.
[General Questions and Answers] areallydumbperson:
Most likely not UNLESS u modify your system using the recovery
[General Questions and Answers] Drysauce:
Well I dont plan on modifying my system immediately after I get a good boot. But I plan on seeing what works and what doesn't and going from there. Though "most likely not" isn't enough for me. I may just run some tests on my old xiaomi phone and try to boot a samsung exynos TWRP recovery on it and other things, guaranteed failure, but will see if I can manage to brick it, just by booting.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Each recovery, so also a custom recovery like TWRP, simply is menu you can select some actions that operate on Android OS. All these actions internally are based on ADB and / or Fastboot commands. Means you can achieve same results when directly running ADB and / or Fastboot commands.
[General Questions and Answers] Drysauce:
Is that so, I never knew that. But what about flashing zip files? like for example if I were to flash a custom recovery, or Gapps, etc. how would one go about doing this through fastboot, where you cannot flash zips.
[General Questions and Answers] areallydumbperson:
A lot if not all stock recoveries need a signed zip package if you want to flash
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Flashing ZIPs is done via ADB, not via Fastboot.

Example:

adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload LINEAGEOS.ZIP
adb reboot
[General Questions and Answers] Drysauce:
Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Drysauce:
But don't stock recoveries only allow zips made officially by the manufacturer to be flashed??
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK Android's Stock Recovery only allows to flash Update-ZIPs, not any ZIPs. Update-ZIPs by nature are provided by OEM / carrier. But I may err, as always ...
[General Questions and Answers] ccapy:
If I do boot into the custom recovery, is there still a chance that my os will be corrupted / phone will be (soft)bricked?

Hi,

I am done dealing with LG support, I am going against them in court now. Need to know if anyone wants to join in. You won't have to do much, if LG has sold you a lemon too then let's get back at them.

Their Flipkart batch in India has had issues and they refuse to acknowledge it, hence I need the names and complaints ids of people who already faced issues like mine.

I have 3 people till now. Need as many as I can get.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] faraz46:
My thread on reddit blew up. LG now wants to settle outside court. I have to say there are so many of us that faced issues. I have more than 50 DMs there.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] faraz46:
Here for some reason, no one contacted me, weird.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] bhatia.mani:
What is the issue you are facing.

And what issue is common in batch sold by flipkart in india?

I too purchased it from flipkart but as such not faced any issue except battery drain (that too after latest update)

i had random reboots, phone keeps rebooting on hotspot, tried finding your thread on reddit, couldnt find it
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] faraz46:
I deleted it, I was getting a lot of DM's there and I have been busy. Also, I got a full refund from LG, so it didn't seem fair to have a thread bashing them up.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vamsi209:
Nice man kudos to u, its like the David and Goliath situation, so they contacted u as soon as you post started to get blow up? Did they make u sign any NDA?

Any ways what do u suggest for people who are struck with a defective phone?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] faraz46:
Escalate to the CEO office, they are pretty fast with their responses and take things seriously IMO. The local people in their HO just don't care at all. Keep logs of every call and every message you send to them, make them aware of your intentions to sue in case they are not willing to fix the problem. Don't be unreasonable, I asked them for a replacement with a non-vietnam unit or a different comparable phone, and if they can't do either of those, then full refund. I had 8 months of logs, my phone was replaced once, and the replacement's screen was changed too, they had kept my phone for nearly 1.5-2 months. I even showed their service guy the problems I was facing and recorded him noticing the problem first hand. I made it clear to them that I was taking this to court, and told them what evidence I had against them to back up my claims. I am not sure if the reddit thread had anything to do with their response, because I sent a final message to their CEO office around the same time that thread was created, I got refund approval the next morning.

Thanks for the heads-up, really appreciate your reply mate, thanks again
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Skull_Reaper:
I'm late here ig, I have been facing a few issues since the beginning (over 2 years ). The proximity sensor does not work (according to self tests). The screen does not switch on automatically when there is an incoming call. The screen does not switch on or off when the phone is brought to the ear during a call. The power button almost always takes 2-3 tries for the screen to switch on. Interestingly, switching the screen off does not require so many presses. The screen also becomes weirdly unresponsive where I can do a swiping and other things, but that one particular page, for example instagram messages, will not react at all. I will have to go back to the insta homepage and again to messages to fix, while other times i'll have to restart the app. Something like this also happens in the UI's home screen, where i will not be able to click on apps to open them. In order to fix this, i will have to swipe to the other home screen and back. hen there are other annoyances of the fingerprint not reacting from the AOD and also takes a few tries to read. Also, whatsapp plays he audio in the earpiece for some weird reason.

Can I take action even now?

[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
I've been getting a toast message stating all apps associated with hotspot feature have been blocked, turned off, or are not installed. This started after the most recent update.

Prior to the update, hotspot worked and I've never used a third party app to turn it on. I simply went into the settings and enabled it.

How can I see a full list of services/apps I may have disabled? I also have a VPN running.

Or is there a logcat app I can use to see what's happening? Not rooted here.

On a Samsung S20 5G and not all owners are seeing this issue. So maybe it's a user error.

Thanks for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Depends how you disabled them.

It's easy if you used a package disabler.

I guess adb would work but no clue how to view that. Keep a log of what you disable with adb...

Usually takes a factory reset or two to get things right🤣
[General Questions and Answers] :
@Pinalp84

to list all disabled apps you run

adb devices
adb shell pm list packages -d
[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
It's not rooted. If I did disable them, I'm sure it wasn't through adb. So most likely through whatever method available via only the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
Okay, enabled all packages. Restarted. Still the same issue. So sick of Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You need to optimize it.

If you did any major firmware updates and didn't do a factory reset, do so now.

If you used SmartSwitch to transfer settings from another OS or device, factory reset.

Clear system cache, system logs and apk caches (data as needed); this is routine maintenance and generally all that's needed once optimized.

Do not use 3rd party launchers or power management especially 3rd party power management apps. Find the what's causing the issues and deal with those apks/services directly. Each user and configuration is unique and so are the solutions.

It's a fast, very stable, strong running device once optimized... play with it.
[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
Never used SmartSwitch. Just did a factory reset. Still the same issue...
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try in safe mode. In settings do a "tethering" search. Double check all settings...

If it's through a carrier... renew the pass code.

SmartSwitch may be ok if same device and OS... just make sure it's not your primary backup.

My theme, icons, homescreen are pretty elaborate so next reload I'll test it for just that.

If it pukes I'll just factory reset again, no big deal.
[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
Are you on a S20 5G?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
No.

Cross search devices/OS versions for solutions and workarounds. Most issues have been around for years...

Everytime you update you expose yourself to new and potentially unknown firmware malfunctions that many times vastly outweigh any benefits.

Google is not conservative but you can be...
[General Questions and Answers] Pinalp84:
There are no solutions for this issue as of now. I've seen a few people online with the same issue and none of them have found a solution even after calling Samsung support. This issue surfaced after the most recent android update.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Samsung tech support is next to useless.

The US tech side is better, SK and Philippines are worthless.

Check -all- related settings and permissions.

The update may have toggled a critical buried setting. It wouldn't be the first time🤣

Many times you need to track the issue down yourself. Try different search words and look at all similar issues regardless of the OS version and device.

What are you trying to tetheri to?

Hi guys, i'm a new user here and in android world also.

My chinese tablet was dead and i found 2 ROMs works correctly with it (camera and sim card not work) and these are names :

t730-mainboard-v3.0_7660_chipon-icn8302m_dy-f-07028-v2.img

A13 4.0 2 Camera HTM.img

Note : the tablet is rooted after that using "faheem tools v1.1" and i flashed CWM Recovery using adb.

Now my problem is that android version is 4.0.4 and it's too old and not supported so i can't deal with my tablet well. And i need a new ROM with a new android version or any method to get a new android version. (1st Question)

2nd Question : what is the code of gsensor, touch, camera, etc to know that a specified ROM is appropriate for it ?

Thanks for you and here's a detailed info about my tablet :

As posted in other thread, i'm on latest crDroid (7.9) with Flamegapps full.

Pretty much everything working, except voice match "hey/ok google", whose activation is grayed out in google settings ("the function is not available on your device").

Searching the web, it seems that's a common problem for Android 11 custom roms, related to some file (hotword blobs) missing in the rom, device specific.

See this thread for example:

New Hotword blobs on Android 11 · Issue #19 · ShivamKumarJha/android_tools

Hotword functionality requires the following files on Android 11 system_ext/etc/permissions/com.android.hotwordenrollment.common.util.xml system_ext/framework/com.android.hotwordenrollment.common.u...

github.com

I'm no dev, so i don't really understand this stuff...but many people have my same problem here and on Telegram (the others simply doesn't use voice match, i guess), so i think it is good thing to report out this thing to developers, if this is the problem

thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Cryn_058:
I'm leaving this reply in case someone needs it in the future.

The solution is making Google a system app, you can use a magisk module called systemize.

This is the most recent version I found: https://github.com/xeddmc/terminal_systemizer
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Lollauser:
Thank you very much for your replay.

That was the issue, and yours is a good solution.

For me, the issue has been solved with the next Flamegapps release, some time later.

Hey Guys, I found an easy fix. Just flash the GoogleSearch zip from the nikgapps Addons-T.

NikGapps - Browse /Releases/Addons-T/07-Nov-2023 at SourceForge.net

A Custom Google Apps Package that Suits Everyone Needs!

sourceforge.net

From here you can install any google service like "Pixel live wallpaper" or " Digital wellbeing" differently.

I downloaded the GoogleSearch zip and flashed it, after that google was pre-installed in my rom and i could use "Hey Google" with assistant.

At first I flashed nikgapps core and then flashed the GoogleSearch zip, everything is working fine for me now.

Hi,

I installed the Skyfire beta, saw it didn't work and uninstalled it again.

But now when I tap on a link in an e-mail, instead of going to Opera, it is opened in Pocket Internet Explorer (yuck!). I've already checked the file associations with SKtools and they were still set to Opera. Don't know what to do next.

So: can anyone help me restore the association of e-mail links to Opera? Thanks in advance...

Edit: never mind, fixed it by delving into the registry myself and replacing the association references to iexplore.exe by the corrent Opera one.

Hi guys!

I installed SPB Mobile Shell today because im looking for something to let me customize my today screen the way i want 2... However im not finding the ability to do this in mobile shell and im sure its me, not the app!!!

Firstly, why cant i get the "now" screen to replace my today screen or rather to BE my today screen? The now screen is great and its got pretty much everything id like to have on my today screen... But where are those items in the first place???

For instance, how do you use SPB mobile shell to show you the amount of missed calls or new sms' you have??? If use a combination of HTC home and SPB mobile shell, it looks all wrong!

Im just not finding this nearly as customizable as i had hoped :(

Please tell me im doing something wrong!
