Post a screen shot of your download screen.

Download mode should tell you your model number and what mininum firmware version to flash. Download mode is hard encoded and a lot harder to change.

I've tried the factory reset method; no luck

Thanks! I'll look into Frija and flashing the stock firmware once I figure what firmware to flash. As for a refund, no I have no option of that.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
I would say you phone has been refurbish, which means someone has made modifications to it. What modification are done who knows. Since the N and F series seems to be Exynos chip set interchanging firmware is possible.

In your download screen :

doesn't give a model number so not much help there.

WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x030c)- means your knox is tripped ( been modified )

RP SWREV: B : 15 K : 13 S : 13 is the firmware version. The B: ? is the bootloader version number. Firmware has to be this version or higher ( cannot downgrade BL numbers ). Bootloader version will be the 5th number from right of firmware name eg: N950FXXUFDUF1.

Bootloader number range from 1-9 then 10 is A, 11 is B, 12 is C and so on. Since from your on BL 15 you will need firmware with F or higher. Looking at sammobile the only option is to use F firmware as the rest have lower BL numbers.

Note: N950? in the firmware is the model number.

As @stonedpsycho said you can try to flash firmware with odin. If odin doesn't work then try patched odin or try to get your money back.

hey guys,

after testing lineage and android 8 stock, i went back to my beloved phoenix rom by tamirda.

now, my phone does a beep instead of vibrate in system. vibration works still fine in bootup and in recovery/TWRP.

i need android 6.0.1 modem and bootloader files but can't find them anywhere to download. this samfw site wants a monthly paid subscription.

does anyone still got the files for me or can help me in any way? i rly rely on vibration for everything my phone does cause i hate sounds/ringtoines.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] dilo34:
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but does ANYONE know if I can root my SM-N981U? I did get the recent updates automatically and I'm currently running UI v 3.1, bootloader v 2 and android 11. If its NOT possible does anyone know if anyone's working on it? Any help would be AWESOME!! I also have no idea how to turn the bootloader off if rooting is possible so help there would be nice. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Your model number ends with "U" which indicates that it's a U.S. variant

U.S. variants always get their bootloader hard locked and can't be unlocked via regular means. Root requires that you unlock your bootloader.

There was a paid service that offered to unlock U.S. variant bootloader here: https://xdaforums.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/

But I'd ask first if I was you. Other than that, I don't think you'll be able to root.

[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] sigma0:
I've been using POCO M3 for about two weeks right now, and i encountered a really strange thing.

Screen really randomly drops brightness a little bit, not too much, but it's really annoying.

1. Auto-brightness disabled.

2. I tried to reproduce brightness drops by covering/shining a light into all available sensors (doesn't work, so it's not related)

3. Tried to apply gentle pressure to the phone, in case it's an internal connection problem, without any results.

4. Behaves the same with stock, as well as other ROMs i've tried (dotOS, ArrowOS)

I didn't notice any other problems related to this, but i worry it's a sign of things to come.

Tried to ask a couple search engines, didn't find anything similar to my problem.

Some days i don't notice any, some days its driving me crazy how often it does this. Does anybody have any ideas what it might be?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] ChachiKeSi:
It happens the same to me. My rom is CrDroid. I don't know the reason either. I usually notice it while using chrome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSogeki:
Hi, i'm new on this website so i'm sorry if i'm doing something wrong.

I have a old phone (Samsung j5 2016) whose pin I can't remember to unlock it and i would like at least to recover photo and data in it. The phone has not a custom recovery and it is no rooted. I have tried everything, software like dr.Phone or using the ADB and Fastboot, but the main problem is that the USB debugging is not activated so it doesn't let me do anything.

I would be really happy if someone could at least help me to recover the data, or even more so to unlock the phone. Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSogeki:
I read that post and i have a question:

the unlock attempts sent by the other device don't increase the phone's lock time between one attempt to insert the pin and the next?

Because the phone now between one attempt and the next makes me wait 4 minutes, sending all those attempts the time should increase again so it would really take a lot of time to unlock it (more than a month for sure with the phone continuously connected to the power)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ame76:
Hey everyone, I'm trying to root my Xiaomi Mi a2 lite without twrp since, if i understand correctly, it needs the data partition to be formatted as it cant decrypt it, and I don't really need it anyway. I wanted to use Magisk manager to patch a boot image and flash it to get root, but the app explicitly asks for .img files. I've been looking everywhere and I can only find zip archives or .tgz files of my firmware. I'd appreciate any help, and btw my build number is 11.0.21.0
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] VD171:
A TGZ file is a TAR Archive file that has been compressed using Gnu Zip (gzip).

You can uncompress tgz files using 7-zip:

7-Zip
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ame76:
oooh thank you so much, feeling pretty stupid rn
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] VD171:
Obviously, first you need unlocked bootloader, or your device will get bricked.

1. Download the full stock rom.

2. Extract these two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.

3. COMPRESS those two files to TAR. (Attention: TAR and NOT tgz.)

4. Open the magisk app and click on "install to file".

5. Select the COMPRESSED TAR file and wait until it finish.

6. Open the folder "Downloads" and uncompress the file magisk_patched.tar to get the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img.

7. Flash the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img. (You need to flash patched vbmeta because vbmeta verifies if any partition was changed.)

Done, you are rooted.

Warning: magisk app will ignore if you try to patch ONLY the vbmeta.img, you need to patch vbmeta.img together boot.img compressed in only one file.

You can use 7-Zip: https://7-zip.org
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ame76:
thanks dude, you're really helping me out with this
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ame76:
Hey i seem to be having a problem, i extracted the .tar file and i can see the boot.img file but i can't find the vbmeta.img one
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ame76:
Actually i've looked around and everyone only shares the boot file, maybe flashing vbmeta is unnecessary for this device?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] VD171:
Maybe.

http://pdas.centralpoint.nl/htc/99hhc013-00/touch-hd-wwe-eu/

CentralPoint is one of the larger and older webshops and definately reliable.

Don't forget though, CentralPoint wasn't specifically targeted at consumers, but for larger IT-Corporations and it's probably not the cheapest as well.

hey dude

actually a more reliable shop with a fantastic service is www.pdashop.nl.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Well, this point certainly does not apply to the HD, as CentralPoint is one of the few so far in the NL that will sell it well below the E600,-.

The only store beating it by another significant margin is www.algebeld.nl, with a very low E556,- price tag. Don't know much about their reliability though, but in another thread someone commented that it is a good store.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Reliable yes, but with a E75,- difference between it and the cheapest, also reliable shop, it's kind of overpriced. Not many stores charge as much as that in the NL.
[Touch HD General] MacDegger:
Bestelmaar.nl is also pretty cheap and reliable...at least, when I was checking out my options for 'verlenging'.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Durian_Pie:
I know this might be a tricky question and I'm probably out of luck here, but I figured to still give it a try.

I currently have the T-Mobile's gm1915 op7 pro using att's network, and I was informed that this particular model will become obsolete once att phrase out its 3G service. Upon checking att's compatibility whitelist I realized that the only op7 pro model that att supports is the global/US unlocked gm1917 variant.

So my question is, is there any methods such as software spoofing that I could trick att's network into thinking that I have the gm1917 model?

The area I live in doesn't have T-mobile cellular coverage so changing carriers would be a pain , op7 pro has been a great phone and I would hate to give it up due to silly reasons like this.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Snow_fox:
I have the same model of phone and the exact same question. Although to add more info, it's not just that they are dropping 3g. They are also adding in "eSim" cards and requiring those. I suspect part of the reason the unlocked version of one 1+7p is allowed and the t-mobile one isn't has to do with eSim compatibility. I am however not sure and trying to navigate this bull**** REALLY quick. The sim card that came with the "free" phone att sent without asking provides full signal strength but I can't make any calls and I'm worried it maybe an issue that transcends the signal strength.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I don't get it, the gm1915 supports 4G bands right?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Snow_fox:
Afaik it's not just an issue of 4g bands. eSIm cards are (to my knowledge) different technology than regular sim cards. From what I'm reading it's not enough to know the phone is suppose to look for an at&t signal, but that there is a hardware component that allows eSims to program things differently.

I'm *REALLY* hoping someone will tell me I am wrong, but if I am correct this would also be why it wouldn't be enough to spoof info.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Ok I see. You need to reprogram the eSim.

If the phone's unlocked it should be doable.

T-mobile listed the gm1915 model on the website as VoLTE enabled, and op7 pro comes with all the bands att could possibly use. But yes I believe this is part of the problem, currently VoLTE is disabled for my device.

I have a feeling that att just didn't brother to make niche devices such as T-mobile op7 pro to be compatible with its own VoLTE network.
