[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Sneexy:
Got the code and such, but when I run the command to unlock the bootloader, fastboot complains fastboot: invalid option -- 'i'

Is there another/newer command or tutorial I'm supposed to check?

EDIT: Checked Sony's site and it had the updated command, Thanks for your help!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
You're welcome :)

Does that mean you unlocked the bootloader on PIE? When I did it, the only known way was to downgrade to OREO, temp root, back up TA partition, unlock bootloader, restore TA and then upgrade back to PIE.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Sneexy:
Yep, I unlocked it on Pie.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] suquet.paul:
I'm having, a similar (sort of) problem. I've unlocked the bootloader following Sony's steps. Fastboot sends recovery "okay", writes it "okay" as well. But it doesn't boot into recovery. Instead, the phone briefly shows an opened lock image with the text "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader", and it proceeds to booting up into the OS.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
I'll try and help but I need a little info:

First: Do you have USB debugging enabled?

How did you flash recovery? Could you give your steps?

How are you booting into recovery?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] suquet.paul:
Hey Alex! After a few hours I managed to figure out what was wrong.

I had to force reboot (after flashing the OS, via fastboot reboot) and press Sony's recovery hardware combination buttons which Sony themselves had misrepresented as being VOL DOWN + Power. Turns out, it's VOL UP + PWR.

So, I'm all good! I was able to boot into twrp and give it all the accesses and permissions it needed.

Is this possible or would I have to download another app? I should mention that I'm fully rooted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
In Windows Media Player I am having trouble recently - I have on my storage card a number of albums - these are all stored under the ATRISTs name:

\SimonGarfunkel

\DireStraits

\U2

When I want to play something by Artist and choose U2 it displays the two albums I have there - but only three songs - They USED to all be there under the correct album. But - now - they are under UNKNOWN.

It seems that if I upload them again they are again under the correct album - but they migrate to UNKNOWN artist with a number of other songs from other ablums.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Do you know what causes it and what I can do to prevent it?

I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the ROM that I have loaded - (see signature) so rather than make it look like this is a bug in the ROM, I have posted this question here.

Thanks,

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Do your files have the correct ID3 tags? The player might relocate them according to it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
Yes - all tags when looking at them on my COMPUTER seem to be correct.

I also made an incorrect statement - if I delete the files on my phone, and RESEND them they are STILL incorrect after a re-import on my cell phone.

For some reason while they came over correctly once - I listened to them so I KNOW they were there and correctly categorized, now they will not correctly be recognized by ARTIST or ALBUM either.

They are under unknown for both.

Strange -

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deXtrous:
Do you use itunes? If so go into your library where the songs you are trying to import are present, you should see the artist name written in the artist column, if not the ID3 tags have not been written correctly...

Here is a picture to show what I mean...

To create an ID3 tag for a song just right click the song in iTunes, select the first option [Get Info] then the second tab up the top [Info] and you should be able to edit the ID3 information...

maybe there's a simpler way to do this not in iTunes but this is how I've always done it.

WMPInfo file

I had this problem when i changed which PC i did my media sync with.

Try deleting the 'WMPInfo.html' file on the storage card and set-up your sync from Windows Media Player on the PC again. It worked for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
First let me thank you and Dextrous for trying to help me - it is very much appreciated.

I do not use I tures - I simply copy the files over with Active Sync Active and then tell the cell phone to "update the library".

The artist for the ID3 tag is there (Dextrous).

I cannot find the WMPINFO.HTML file you refer to. Can you tell me where I might look for that file?

Thanks

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] balsack:
WMPInfo

My apologies. It is on your storage card 9if that is where you stored your music. and it's an 'xml' file, not 'html'. It stores the sync data for your media.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
grrrr....

OK - There is no such file on my

\Storage Card\My Music\

Folder and each artist is in their own folder under that directory and here is no such file in THOSE directories...

I did NOT use active sync to sync these - I simply copy and paste with Active Sync active and that puts the files on my storage card and then I update the library and I can play them.

I have S2P on the phone as well - but when I go to the My Music directory it simply displays ALL the songes there it is almost impossible to view all 1200 songs that I have on my phone as you have to scroll through each folder and see all the songes ...

Any ideas?

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] balsack:
I think that may where the problem lies. If you use windows media player to sync, it will copy all of the songs to the card for you. The folders will be copied based on artist, then album and it will create the WMPInfo file to the route directory which mobile media player will use to list tag data properly. I know this is not what you are using to sync media, but I would recommend it as it works perfectly for every device I use. It can also convert the files to different bit rates (if you want) to save on space. Not to mention the autosync feature and album art which.

try this link:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
Excellent advice!

Thank you -

What I was doing worked up until I had over 1000 files on the system - obviously then it ran out of "something" and fell over.

Your method has now put all the albums back where they belong and I sure appreciate your help.

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] spazoid:
Has anyone rooted the A32 5g with the intention on using it as a hotspot so you can bypass your carriers hotspot limit?

Or has anyone rooted this and used the rooted hotspot?

Just looking to get an idea of speeds and connectivity.

I hacked an old Nighthawk M1, but speeds don't get up to 5G and it's spotty. Looking for a better Solution and the A32 5g is cheap.

And on a custom kernel for the a32 for this same purpose

Compile the tweaked kernel and

I managed to deadset the TTL to 65. So speeds should not be a problem

Hotspot uses device data not hotspot data.

Also that M1 might need imei repair for the good speeds

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] SebixWolf:
hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone got the hands on the new version of MIUI to know if they fixed all those bloatware apps and ads and if the battery and performance was improved?

I am on Arrow OS and by far is the one stable of any roms out there.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Alrich:
I'm on the latest MIUI 12.5.2 India ROM.

I'll give you pros and cons.

Pros.

1: Everything is extremely smooth now. No frame drops in UI, animations are way faster and actually consistent and smooth.

2: New UI for volume panel and other small areas.

3: I've never had any ads on any of my Poco devices, so no idea what you talking about.

4: Bloatware is still there depending on which region you choose, I chose UK and most of the bloat is actually from Google. Most of it is removable but not all.

5: Battery life is significantly better.

6: RAM management is absolutely perfect now.

Cons

1: Notifications and panel are extremely buggy. Manual fixes need to be made by downloading many system APK.

2: Still no choice to use third party launcher with gestures. (Maybe it's Google limitation or MIUI I don't know.)

That's about all I can think of for now.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AndroidVageta:
So got it cheap on eBay...I get it and notice it's the SM-R890X...which is apparently a version made for Russia and the Caribbean? Anyways, trying to get it to go into connect mode for my phone (Fold 3) only to notice I can't get it working.

Long story short...it's locked into retail mode (even under Bluetooth settings it's visible as "wisebl") and I can't get it out. I can open the Retail Mode app (passcode 5444) and can turn it on or off, but can't delete it or permanently disable it.

Factory Reset under the Retail Mode app also doesn't seem to get rid of it upon rebooting.

If I remove OR disable the app via ADB nothing seems to change, still can't connect to it.

Any thoughts? Seems it might just need a full firmware flash but considering there are none out yet I'm willing to try my options.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adj998:
Oh wow I didn't know it had a retail mode, you can't disable it via the galaxy wearable app?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adj998:
Couldn't you take it to a Samsung retail place and provide proof of purchase so they can disable that if able to?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adj998:
Oh okay I get what you're saying. You can verify the IMEI orserial number to make sure it wasn't reported stolen and then go about asking them

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AndroidVageta:
Well it seems to have everything hardware wise. Sensors, mic, speaker, Wifi, Bluetooth...software all works surprisingly for a "retail unit". Developer mode, Recovery, ADB Debug, etc. Like, if could just connect to my phone it would be, I'd say, 100% functional...IF I could get it to connect.

No harm no foul though, I'll just return it, sucks cause I got it cheap and if there was a firmware I'd certainly give it a go!

i am in the same boat, i bought two, one of the watch 4 and one of the watch 4 classic, i don't even see that retail mode app you mentioned, i will keep it until i find a firmware for it,
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kees4203:
any one considerd that samsung can lock every device that has knox on it.????????

so in case of that the watches are stolen or indeed samples for retail this coold be the case
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gurtu95:
Any news on the subject?

I bought the watch second-hand and I think I got a demo watch ...

I'm desperate, I don't know what to do.

Do we have to wait for a firmware to come out and flash with net odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
If you bought it on EBay, and it wasn't as described, you have all of the EBay protections available to you; if it was as described, then I don't think anyone here should help you make a stolen watch functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gurtu95:
It was not stolen.

I bought it from a secondhand deal app that deals with local people. I have no doubt that it is not stolen because the seller blocked me instantly.

I am simply looking for a solution to my problem. I think moral ethics can be set aside.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
Wouldn't the seller blocking you instantly indicate that it was stolen? And no, I don't think 'moral ethics' should be set aside so you can enjoy your dubiously procured watch - this is why stuff gets stolen, because some people set 'moral ethics' aside when they see what they think is a deal too good to pass up.

You took a chance; you lost. Suck it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] goodwin_c:
Even thinking that the previous post is a bit rude, still I have to agree with the main message - you should ask for local police rather than the forum for help in your situation.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] speedme:
I don't think @jtOttawa post was rude at all, he pointed out the problem really well.

It is quite simple : if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is !
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
Not rude - angry. He knew what he was buying (or he should have, for a nearly new watch in a second hand marketplace at an unusually low price) - that's why he doesn't go to the police. I have no sympathy for people who buy stolen goods, and it makes me angry when they come here asking for us to help them (this is not the first time I have seen this here).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] hal752:
Ultimately this watch screens stolen.

The reason why I state this is because I've worked with Samsung in retail before. They generally have there retail models and separate demo ones for display.

The retail boxes are white and state the product and state it's for retail only.

looks like you purchased a stolen product. Your best bet is to file for a refund on eBay.

failing maybe Odin might help however I feel that this won't work. As mentioned by previous posters if a offer is to good to be true than it probably is.

a long shot but if you were to report this to Samsung they will probably say you shouldn't have it and provide no further support. You take it into store I would expect the police to be involved
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Mirceaxo:
I'm in the same situation, should we wait till a custom firmware is coming up?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pabgar:
You should go to the police ,report crime and return stolen watch. I do not know how it is in you country but in mine it is called : handling stolen goods ( or fencing ). Punished up to 2 years in prison.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Mirceaxo:
I payd for that!

{Mod edit: Language in violation of rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules removed! - Regards Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
'Paying for it' does not mean it's not stolen - and retail software on a not-for-sale version of the watch does. Also, you don't get to make demands here, and no one should help you make a stolen watch functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] speedme:
If you have bought the watch for a very cheap price, you could have known that something was wrong with it.

So the watch COULD be stolen, especially since it's a demo model and has special software on it.

And if you have bought it, that makes you an accomplice to a crime and you could face prison time when caught.

So stop asking this community for their help, they are not going to help you in criminal activities.

This is a respectable community and it wants to stay that way.

BTW, it is always funny to see that "new members" (read : member for 1 day) are coming to this community and directly asking for help in something they know is wrong in the first place....

I have few LDU like GT-I9300X...

Also Prototypes from BenQ Siemens... Siemens...

They have also Labels:

Not for Sale...

IMHO Samsung not only have LDU in Stores...

IMHO also as Gift for Developers...

...

IMHO their is more then 1 way to get LDU... without shooting someone or steal in Samsung Mega Store...

In case of Galaxy Watch 4 crap...

NO Firmware exists for Retail nor for LDU nor for RDU nor for Prototypes...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
I'm a big fan of yours, adfree - I have followed you over the years and have always found you to be exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful - but I have to respectfully disagree with you here, for two main reasons:

1) While, based on your experience, it certainly appears possible that someone might be in legal possession of a Live Demo Unit - it is vastly more likely that this is not the case, based on statistical probability alone, and

2) If, in fact, LDUs are 'part of XDA' as you say - I would suggest that helping people make these units fully functional shouldn't be, for the reason stated above - and the devs who might be legally in possession of these units shouldn't be seeking that help either.

Posting here to discourage people from seeking help with what are most likely stolen goods is not 'nonsense' (if that's what you were referring to? Not clear...😕) - it's good practice, helps keep XDA reputable, and hopefully, discourages the purchase of stolen goods.

My personal opinion...😉

Hi all, my diamond has just started doing something weird.

I have been playing around, installing some themes and stuff, and when i installed a new theme just now, i tried going into the people tab, and got a message saying that manilla.exe has a problem, and i cant see any of my contacts!

I uninstalled the theme, and now its on the original, but i still cant see the people in there!

Sometimes i get that error, and then other times it says its launching touch flo 3d, and then gives me the error.

Would a hard re-set solve the problem? Though would that get rid of all the stuff on the memory?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] n3kf:
I'm just having a really hard time finding an answer. I just had a OnePlus 6T T Mobile edition find it's way to me. It's carrier unlocked and Bootloader unlocked and it's running the latest T Mobile version 10 OOS. Since the bootloader is unlocked, can I just flash the latest non T Mobile OOS Android 10 version to it? In other words the US 6T edition? Or must I use the international version? I'm really confused and sure this has to be answered somewhere but just can't find it. Can anyone help and point me in the right direction? I have lots of experience flashing ROMs, but this one has me stumped at this point. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Fenopy:
I'm no expert... lol, but based on what I do know, I believe these are your steps...

So I'd take a look at this post-

https://xdaforums.com/t/t-mobile-gu...oader-unlock-root-for-locked-devices.3921795/

Follow Step 4, and then from that point allow the ROM to update via OTAs. The MSMDownloadTools are basically a fix-all, but set you back in time update-wise.

I do not believe there's a full TMo ROM for the latest updates, but once again, I could be wrong.

You could also use the International Version if you want, that is what I am running now, but if you want root access, I believe getting 11 working has some extra steps/workarounds (so i'm still on 10)

I initially changed to International because of quicker security updates and it works fine, no issues to complain about, but my wife (on TMo stock) seems to get better signal than I do in more rural areas.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] n3kf:
Thanks for the input. I have seen all those threads, but the main purpose there was for people who did not want to wait for the SIM unlock. That got them past that and also got them so they were able to unlock the bootloader. I already have an unlocked SIM and unlocked bootloader. So I know I could load up lineageos if I wanted to without doing anything special. I would think I should be able to use TWRP to put the International version on using TWRP. And maybe the US version. But that may not be the case.

It just seems like any work on this device stopped after the above. Of course once you are bootloader unlocked, there may not be need for much more and people may just move on to other ROMs.

Thanks.
