@sentdab

when you re-flash a ROM the partitions that holds the user-data aren't touched, unless you force a clean install. Typically user-data only get wiped if you do a Factory Reset.
[General Questions and Answers] sentdab:
So in theory I should be able to use Odin to flash *any* firmware version for my phone on this site https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s6-edge/firmware/SM-G925T/TMB/#SM-G925T without risk of deleting the user data (photos, videos, phone numbers, etc)? I downloaded the latest firmware package but it only contains one file:

G925TUVS6FRC1_G925TTMB6FRC1_G925TUVS6FRC1_HOME.tar

Which of the fields in Odin do I put this file in? BL, AP, CP, CSC? I am referring to a guide such as this one:

How to Use Odin to Flash Samsung Galaxy Stock Firmware

If you own a Samsung phone and enjoy rooting or modding your device, flashing official firmware can be very useful. Odin is Samsung's own internal program for loading such updates for testing purposes, and it's quite easy to use for your own custom modification needs.

Hello,

I followed the steps for the T-Mobile unlock...unlocked the SIM and the bootloader with the unlock token from OnePlus. When I rebooted after running 'fastboot oem unlock', I did not have root yet, I was not able to backup my partitions. Apps like Maps would crash immediately.

Stupidly, I decided to move forward with installing the latest global open beta rom using https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-t-mobile-oneplus-9-to-global-or-other-firmware.4277169/

Once i executed flash_all, I saw errors for being unable to write to partitions and most of the .img files failed to install.... due to me not having root. At this point I was stuck in fastboot mode. I was NOT in fastbootd, I did not run 'fastboot reboot fastboot'. I was in the bootloader instead.

Since I'm on linux i went ahead and downloaded the Tmo MSM tool on my windows box and went to bed.

Even more stupidly I did not plug in my phone, and it died overnight

I can get it to boot for a second or two holding down the power button + volume down. Neither ADB nor fastboot can see my device.

I'm pretty sure I hosed the phone, just checking with you guys to make sure.

I'd appreciate any help.....
[OnePlus 9] Malicious_CT:
Update: When I use the MSM tool, i see the qualcom driver being used. However I'm not sure how to get the phone to be seen, i've tried holding down the volume up/down + power button at the same time.

MSM tool can't see the COM....Is there another way to enter the LDS or whatever?
[OnePlus 9] gorilla p:
You need the correct drivers and will need to go to advanced reboot, troubleshooting, allow unsigned driver option to be able to install the driver.

GLOBAL OnePlus 9 MSM TOOL UPDATED

Frist off Im not responsible for anything that happens to your phone!!! VERY SIMPLE IF YOU ARE BICKED,BOOTLOOPED OR JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO 100% STOCK THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA!!! AN RELOCK BOOTLOADER OOS 11.2.4.4.LE25AA MUST HAVE QAULCOMM...

I had similar issue and had to hold power and volume up to reconize the device. I thought it just wouldn't power on.

[OnePlus 9] barguybrady:

[Android General] Crike:
I'm in the market to buy a used Samsung Note (10) online. The cosmetic condition can be established by a couple of photo's, but how do you figure out if the battery life of a used phone is still any good?

Ideally, I'd like to ask the current owner to install an app and run it, then tell me the numbers and compare them to a new phone, and maybe average decline.

Is there any app and/or site which has a standardized test to figure out performance, with benchmarks to compare the results to? Like a database of PC benchmarks, but for phones.
[Android General] blackhawk:
Just replace it if the SOT isn't good.

You should get good run times unless there are battery hogs.

A degrade Li is more likely to fail which can cause major damage to the phone.

At 80% of it's original capacity it's considered degraded.

Replace with OEM rear cover seal. Get a battery made in Vietnam.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RS156:
Hi. It has been almost 7 years since i have flashed any rom. I wanted easy way to flash xiaomi eu in Mi 11x, indian variant.

In this thread - https://xdaforums.com/t/did-anyone-installed-xiaomi-eu-on-mi-11x.4276167/

it was said that you can flash fastboot rom by renaming alioth to aliothin in 'windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat' file. This methods feels way more easy than flashing TWRP.

Nowadays many users here and on youtube are flashing roms with recovery using TWRP. Is there any reason to use TWRP method instead of fastboot method. It seems TWRP method uses more custom things having higher chances of bricking the phone. in fastboot we are using default MIUI fastboot making it safer. Anyone experienced in flashing what would be the easiest way to flash EU Rom in Mi 11x (indian variant?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DrDrag0n:
Hi there,

different roms have different methods of flashing nowadays, and especially for our device.

Fastboot flashing is incredibly easy. Just boot into fastboot and run the windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat

which will be extracted with the rom.

before you do this please make sure you have unlocked the bootloader which takes 7 days to receive an unlock token from xiaomi servers.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lolo9393:
Fastboot rom at EU is only when there isn't any TWRP available.

This said you have to go with TWRP for any update or change you need.

Last: Said less risk of hard brick with TWRP than fastboot process.

In order to install EU rom latest via TWRP it is so simply to boot TWRP in fastboot and install the rom.

Twrp will stay permanent once done.

NOTE:

Be careful to install a rom Aliothin compatible, nevertheless TWRP will stop you before going in trouble if any.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RollDload:
To flash xiaomi.eu the best way is to use twrp, also because the latest version is not in fastboot.

- First unlock the bootloader!

- Then disable Driver Signature Verification in Windows 10:

How to Enable or Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10

How to Enable or Disable Driver Signature Enforcement and Test Mode in Windows 10

www.tenforums.com

- Download and install miflashtool then go to the driver option and install the phone drivers (It is the program you will need if you want to return to stock safely, keep it):

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool

Download the official Xiaomi Flash Tool to flash or install Stock Firmware (ROM) on devices running on Qualcomm Chipsets.

xiaomiflashtool.com

- Now you will need adb and fastboot, so download platform tool from here and put platform tool folder in c:\

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

- Now restart your pc.

Then follow these steps:

{To flash xiaomi.eu you must first launch twrp, then...}

1) download the twrp image from here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-alpha-teamwin-recovery-project.4272625/

2) Put the image filenametwrp.img in the platform tool folder;

3) Go to the platform tool folder, rename the filenametwrp.img to twrp.img;

4) (In the phone) make sure you have enabled usb debug in developer settings and have authorized the pc.

5) Download the xiaomi.eu rom .zip file for your mobile phone and put it in the phone memory

Unofficial Xiaomi European Community | MIUI ROM Since 2010

MIUI ROM Global Language creators since 2010 providing support for Xiaomi MIUI and Mi Home products

xiaomi.eu

6) Now turn off the phone and start it in fastboot mode, then connect it to the pc via the usb cable

7) Go to the platform tool folder and in the address bar type cmd and hit enter (a prompt window should open) then type this command

fastboot devices

to check if it is recognized

8) if the phone code appears you can boot twrp by typing this

Code:

fastboot boot twrp.img

hit enter and the phone should boot into twrp

9) Now in twrp go to install and look for the .zip file of the rom you put before, then flash it.

10) When it finishes (it takes a few minutes) go back, go to the wipe section then advanced wipe and format datadata, then restart in the system. (It will remain on the miui logo for several minutes, wait, then the configuration should start.)

If you follow all the steps everything should go smoothly, but if you have any problems or questions you can ask.

Hi. Got the issue for last 2 weeks - nobody can hear me, than holding pda as a normal phone, only than speaking directly to microphone, holding it in front of the mouth.

Tried lots of builds, but it doesn't seem to help anyways. Maybe there are some progs to help? Or the only way is service?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
If you've tried a few ROMs and it didn't help, my guess would be hardware fault. Did you drop it before this problem? It could be as simple as a connection came loose.

If its still in warranty (doubtful) then take it in for a warranty service otherwise you may need to pull it apart yourself... To send in for repairs could cost you $$$... Do a search for the "HTC service manual Hermes". This will get you the instructions you need to pull apart.

Cheers...:D

Hey all,

While I was watching a video 2 days ago, the screen started to glitch and the phone shut itself down. I tried to restart it by holding [power]+[vol up]+[vol down]. I got stuck in the boot screen, then it shut down completely. I tried charging it but it didn't work. I left it for several hours and tried again, this time it started to charge the battery. I immediately tried to boot it. It booted normally but froze at the home screen, and went black again. Now, I get no response when I plug it to my computer, I can't get into download mode, and it doesn't the charge battery.

Any help would be appeciated.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
See if you can get into recovery, clear system cache.

I doubt this will fix it so immediately afterwards try booting up in safe mode.

Copy any critical data, enable debugging, prepare to do a reflash.

If you installed any recent apps, try uninstalling them especially launchers or power management. They may be the cause of the boot loop. Check apps listed as system Administrator in security for anything that shouldn't be there, and disable all.

Try a hard reboot (simulates pulling the battery).

If no joy, factory reset.

If this doesn't work try reflashing to the same firmware version.

If that doesn't work you're likely looking at a mobo failure.

Happy hunting...

[General Questions and Answers] ASKnASK:
Most probably a motherboard issue. I experienced something similar with a brand new Note 4 back in the day. It was repaired by the seller (motherboard replacement).
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
The BGA chipsets aren't tolerant of board flexing or direct impact; solder joints can fracture.

The chipsets themselves can suffer internal damage from high G impacts.

Internal PCB traces can also be broken by excess board flexing, they are many times fine pitched.

A good case keeps drops survivable by limiting the G loading on the phone.

However I wouldn't write it off just yet... gentle pressure on the mobo chipsets etc with a pencil eraser or such with the device on, may reveal a solder fracture or trace break.

Also inspect ribbon connectors for damage and full contact. Ensure all ground pathways are intact sometimes these can be hard to spot or use a screw (a short length wrong screw won't work).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MaddogK:
Recently my trusty old box stopped finding streams in kodi. I suspect it's related to the expired DST Root CA X3 cert that no longer is usable since last week. Since this OTT box hasn't been updated in over 5 years I'm left with few options short of tossing it and starting over, BUT I'de like to try to get android functioning again instead of scrapping the hardware.

Soo...hoping someone could provide some insight how to safely add the new certs to the existing system store -OR- completely replace it. I'm semi-proficient with ADB and the device is rooted AFAIK.

Option #1 : add in the new certs. Per https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-september-2021/ and https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificate-compatibility/ I have installed the IdentiTrustCommercialRootCA onto the device (ISRG Root X1 I believe) but it installed as a personal cert, and I'm preparing to move it to the system store but I think theres an intermediate cert I need to install as well. I just don't know what it is, or where to find it.

Option #2 : add in the entire Mozilla cert package. http://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/ImportRo...ect=ImportRootCert#Android_Phones_.26_Tablets has a nice walkthru and a cert package, but the docs get confusing when they explain how to import the two certs, and their download package has over 130 certs in it.

Option #3 : rebuild the entire system store from scratch. Googles github site has all the certs shipped with android 7, but I'm guessing I'll have install each one as a personal cert before moving each one to the system directory similarly to option 1.

Option #4 : REPLACE the entire cacerts.bks file from another android device via ADB. Is this SAFE ? https://xdaforums.com/t/anyone-elses-nook-simple-touch-kindle-app-just-stop-syncing.3205615/page-2

Anyone tried any of these, or any insight to any of these options ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MaddogK:
UPDATE : Worked option 1 last weekend, installed 5 certs- 2 from lets encrypt, 2 from identrust, and 1 I extracted from my browser. It was stupidly easy and without ADB since the box was rooted when I got it. Seems to have solved alot of issues, but how can I be sure the cert chain is intact and hashed properly ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ocd_amp:
Hi there, could you please go into further details on this procedure on How you installed without replace the entire cacerts, or if you have found a better way.

I know a few friends with older devices and they could surely use my help as well I myself have an old Amlogic S812 device laying around which I wanted to put to some use. Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MaddogK:
My box came rooted, and it was required for the procedure I'm about to list here. I've inserted 5 new certs so far and havent seen any adverse effects, but I can say the SSL errors I was seeing in kodi logs no longer appear. I'm also still on android 5.1 so google isn't updating me. I wouldn't attempt this on a supported OS.

I've installed this one first : IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 from here : https://www.identrust.com/support/announcements

...also 3 from here : https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/

specifically ISRG Root X1 , Let’s Encrypt R3 , and the DST Root CA X3 ,

Get your certs in CRT format.

Now comes the FUN part :

Install certs normally (as user cert)- lockscreen method , as program certs.

I saw they were installed by looking at the user certs menu afterwards.

Start terminal program

type SU

mount -o rw,remount /system

The directory /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added is where your user certs are stored. WRITE DOWN the filenames, you'll need them later. The names are now hashes of the actual certs

mv /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added/FILENAME.0 /system/etc/security/cacerts/

This is where you actually move the certs into the OS folders. Use the 'hash names' you wrote down earlier, entered at the FILENAME.0 spot in the line above, for EACH file.

chmod 644 /system/etc/security/cacerts/FILENAME.0

As above, you'll need to chmod all the new certs.

You'll also need the chown root : root each new file as well.

mount -o ro,remount /system

Reboot

After reboot all your new certs should be system certs.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thehomeofDob:
I'm after sitting sleeping on my Diamond. Took a nap on the couch, woke up and found my diamonds screen unresponsive. Now I'm not sure if I've broken just the digitizer or the LCD too.

Basically - when you look at the screen, there's an edge of about 3/4 of a centimetre around the outside of the screen that's okay. But a large rectangular shape on the inside that's all multi coloured - like spilled oil. I'm thinking this because i've broken the LCD but I see no cracks. Inside this rectangle is a pattern of dots - evenly spaced colums and rows, but only where I can see the colour.

I've only had this thing a month :( Please don't tell me I need to go spend €60 on ebay to replace the LCD and Digitizer :(
