[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] Judxx:
Problem: IMEI is null after updating to A415FXXU1CUH2. Cant call, message or use data.

Solution: Flash earlier firmware or restore from your full backup.

I confirm this IMEI problem and that the @Arazon´s solution works.

I tried to update the phone to the latest stock firmware Android 11 (A415FXXU1CUH2) from an earlier version. I got everything to work except the IMEI showed null. I tried flashing with both root and non-root. I tough I had broken the EFS-partition but luckily that was not the case. Somehow the IMEI could not be red with the newest firmware. I guess Samsung needs to fix it and we have to wait for a few months? Anyways I will try updating the A41 "the normal way" and then flashing my root after that. Maybe it will work.

I wonder when we get the unofficial LineageOS for the A41 SM-A415F. Hit me up if you are up to it, I might be able to help.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] Judxx:
I tried updating the A41 with bootloader locked but the results were the same. It seems that if you have tripped the Knox (voided warranty) the recent update A415FXXU1CUH2 will somehow break your imei and it will show up as null.

These firmware versions (root or non-root) do work and the imei problem does not exist even with tripped knox and unlocked bootloader:

A415FXXS1CUG1

A415FXXU1CUD4

A415FXXU1BUC3 and older
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] MR.Qmar:
Hi, Got the same imei problem here.

But i am not able to downgrade to these versions.

Odin gives an error and it wont flash these firmware. it will only flash the latest firmware...

is there any other option to fix this problem?

Hello Touch Pro owners,

I'm sure this question has been asked, and I'm sorry if it has, but...

one of the things that drives me crazy with the Hermes is the glitchy landscape view. Sometimes while in landscape, it decides to switch back to portrait, and sometimes doesn't go into landscape at all. If you were a Hermes user, you know what i'm talking about. I was hoping 6.1 would fix that, but is hasn't.

Do any of you have issues with the Touch Pro?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
I surely didn't, when the keyboard was open it went to landscape and stayed there, and when it slid closed it popped back to portrait and stayed there as well. Same for applications, turn the device sideways it flips, turn it back it flips back.. Not 1 issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Actually, I don't; I'm still using my 8525, waiting for the "Fuze," and I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in the 19 months I've had it. I think you have a bum unit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] th1nm1nt:
Have you applied new themes and customization tools (like Diamond Config)? Mine was perfect until I started applying a lot of the themes and tweaks. Now I'm having that issue. I plan on loading a cooked ROM once my travel is done. In the mean time, I have found it easier to use the virtual keyboard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuybjeans:
Don't think it's a bum unit, I've had a few and it's the same. I think it's most likely the shells I load. (spb and now the TF2d). I usually don't tweak and never OC the unit. But I do occassionaly load a cooked Rom, and I see the same things.

For example: I'll be emailing or texting in landscape, if I get any kind of alert, it switches to portrait and sticks there until I close it then open it again.

It's not a big deal, I've been dealing with it for awhile and still love the 8525, but Im upgrading to the Pro in a few weeks and I'm hoping I wont see this. I just expect the unit to be locked in landscape when the keyboard is pulled out no matter what shell I'm using, especially tf2d or 3d.

You can't install an OTA, you need to get the full zip version
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ztotherad:
isnt that the full zip? i downloaded it from oxygen update
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
It says OTA, you will have an option in Oxygen Updater whether to download the full or partial. The OTA will work in Oxygen's own updater/recovery but it won't work in TWRP.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] redbeans92:
Hello everyone! Hope you're doing ok!

As the title says, I updated to MIUI 12.5.3 Global stable rom (from OTA) and then I started having issues with the fingerprint sensor, only working half of the time. Then, suddenly, it stopped working completely. I've read online that it has happened to many people on many devices. The only answer I can find is to flash xiaomi.eu rom on my phone. Does anybody knows if installing xiaomi.eu would help? Does anybody have had this same issue before?

My phone is 3 months old, I always use a case and screen protector, and I haven't dropped it strong. (It fell off of my hands a couple times, 2 or 3, but without any major impact, had a very safe landing haha so I doubt the fingerprint sensor broke.)

I'm trying to find any kind of solution to this problem, as I always use the fingerprint sensor :(

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] rxrnxx:
I'm having the same problem, any fix?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] darkangel123:
Same problem, any fix???
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] redbeans92:
I have bad news. I managed to install xiaomu.eu, I'm on MIUI 12.5.5 and sadly, the issue was not fixed. I thought that installing the most recent version of xiaomi.eu would solve the problem, but no...

I don't know if going back to MIUI 12.0 would solve it, as the problem appeared when I upgraded it to 12.5.3, but I won't try it for now because i'm kinda tired of re-setting my phone and apps lol.

If someone downgrades to MIUI 12.0, global or eu rom, and it solves the problem, please let us know!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] HIRA123:
it won't be solved by changing ROMs as it's an hardware issue. Go to the service centre and get it replaced
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] redbeans92:
The thing is I'm not so sure its a hardware issue. The problem started when I updated to MIUI 12.5.3 and the fingerprint stopped working, and more people have the same issue after updating too.

But as changing the rom didnt work, I can assume maybe, in my case, is a hardware issue... And I doubt it tho, because I haven't dropped my phone as hard for it to broke.. unless the sensor is so weak it breaks with a little drop :(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] docoak17:
I had the same issue, unlocked bootloader, flashed crdroid, and fingerprint stopped working, thought it was due to custom rom, flashed OG MIUI Firmware locked bootloader and fingerprint still wasn't working, claimed my phones warranty and the service center told me that they'd have to replace the fingerprint and the problem maybe with the motherboard as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] darkangel123:
So it is an hardware problem? Seriously?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] rxrnxx:
Yes, it's a hardware issue. Last week I brought my mi 11 lite to the service centre and they replaced the fingerprint module and it's working again
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] darkangel123:
So why the fingerprint with the previous software still active?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] jehjeh17:
Happened to me 2 days ago, phone was just 3 months old. 😭
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Gaga Kanasta:
It's hardware issue,sensor on mine Mi 11 lite 5g died two months after I bought it.Flashing older roms won't help...In my country there is no way to raplace it so I've got other phone...

Hi.

Bought a second hand Shift yesterday.

Device was working fine, but i reset it with F3 to get a clean install.

Updated all over WindowsUpdate, Downloaded all drivers from HTC in the order as described.

Today i suddenly got a blue screen after the device was hanging.

After reboot the Registry was unreadable so it wouldn't boot, and it took for ever to get to the read error + a few blue screens in between.

Now when i hit F3 and reset, it takes for ever to load the initial files.

The white bar crawls about 1cm to the right in about 20minuts........

Is the HD totally F..... up or what do you think?

HD LED is constantly on, instead of the more normal constant-blink-constant behavior
[Shift General] BoSJo:
So i took my Vista Ultimate CD and copied it on to a Mem stick.

Boot fine and starts the install process, but somethings not quite right.

Slow to copy files to the disk, mostly it freezes at some point.

Always stops 55% when unpacking files.

Anyone known with the Vista safe mode options, so i can run a check and perhaps repair of the partition?

Might work.
[Shift General] scottt:
I had the same problem and sent it back to htc they reimaged it and sent me it back, it booted ok first time, then crashed and would not boot or install vista again (fn+f3 or usb imaged I had) I then sent it back again and they put in new hdd and its been fine ever since.

You could run dft (drive fitness tool) its free and can be loaded from usb, just to check hdd.
[Shift General] BoSJo:
Well I might as well document my process on recovering a bad HD as i go, for later reference :

I got Vista Ultimate on my main PC, so why not try to boot from an original installation CD.

To do this we need to Copy the CD on to an USB Stick.

I Use a Kingston 8GB DataTraveler.

On your Desktop PC go :

Start -> Run -> cmd.exe (Command promt opens)

Put your USB Stick in

Type the following

diskpart

list disk (And take note of which is your USB Stick = Disk 0, Disk 1, etc.etc.)

select disk ? (As you found out above)

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=fat32

assign

exit

Now we need to copy the Vista DVD on to the memory Stick (Stick is F: from now on):

Put your Vista DVD in the DVD Drive (We call that E: from now on)

Then type

xcopy e:\*.* /s/e/f f:\

It takes a while, so go ahead and surf some nasty xxx sites while you wait....you know you want to :-)

BUT don't take out the Stick before cmd.exe is back at regular promt.

Done.

Shut down Shift Vista if it ain't already

Put the Stick in it.

Turn on and press FN+10 at the Boot menu

Choose to Boot from your Stick.

First Vista install window you choose your local settings

Then choose the Repair option/link

Deselect any HD and click Next

Open Dos/Command promt (I'm on Norwegian and it's called Ledetekst go figure) you'll recognize the Icon

The Prompt should be at X:\Sources>

HERE I WOULD LIKE TO COPY OUT RECOVERY PARTITION DATA.

If you know how to show and activate and xcopy it out of there, please do leave a comment

First we will test the drive with chkdsk :

Type :

chkdsk c:

If you get errors, try and run

chkdsk c: /b /r /f (the /b parameter should include /r which should include /f but write them all)

Hopefully it will repair your disk and mark bad Clusters accordingly.

Try to do a recovery with the FN+F3 at boot.

Mine did some repairs, but ends with an unspecified error at step 4 of 5 :-(

------------------

If not, Then :

Type :

diskpart

list disk

You should see

Disk 0 34 G bytes (This is your HD)

Disk 1 7656 M byte (This is your Stick, but would match your size)

select Disk 0

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=

ntfs

(This will take loooong time, so just head on over to your xxx site again.)

assign

exit

Now you run chkdsk to check for faults again:

chkdsk

A) If no error, reboot and try FN+F3 to recover from the recovery disc.

If the recovery fails, you have to boot Vista installation again and do chkdsk to be sure the failed recovery haven't messed it all up again. (Mine didn't work)

B) If errors type:

format c: /p:1 this will reset every sector to 0 (back to the xxx again)

then

chkdsk /b /r /f

Hopefully you will get no errors.

Hi. I'm about to compile some kernel mod for SM-A920F. Currently, the latest kernel released on Samsung Opensource is on binary S4 for Europe. while my device is on binary S5 for SE Asia. My question is that: are these differences important or I can just ignore them and start building right away
[General Questions and Answers] bmaz121:
At first a reboot of the phone worked, but later I found that if I rebooted the router the codes would come through but not the previous sent codes, only newly made 2FA code requests. I have a Netgear 6300R2 Router with a second router, Netgear R6300V1, as an extended wifi only router wired together with Ethernet. I have multiple phones that have no problems with 2FA codes, only the new phone Ulefone Note 11P, which is the only phone running Android 11. This phone also has the problem of the new standard for Mac Address assignment as automatic. Since I made the home network use Mac address as the requirement for access to WIFI and assigns a static IP address to each device and has 20 addresses in the router setup. The only way I could get this phone to work on this network was to have one IP slot in the 20 not defined in the DHCP IP address list. So, for the life of me I can not find or do not know how to ask the internet for any info on this type of problem since many phones are running Android 10. Most people probably have newer equipment than I do so the problem is not showing up yet, but I imagine it will when all the Internet security is using Mac addresses to secure the network from unknown devices, an issue that has come up many times. So, if you could point me to some better router software I could load on the routers to handle the Mac addressing problems and have the right protocols built in for 2FA (2-factor authentication) I would try that. It must be a combined problem with Android 11 Wifi settings and router setting for it to work this way. After rebooting the router and receive code all day, the next morning the codes fail to show again, and I reboot the router again. Also, I am in the habit of using Airplane Mode or turning off data and WIFI overnight to prevent access from all those data hungry PUPs connected to the phone over the internet. Thank You for your help. The routers are updated with the latest Netgear software.
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
For the DHCP/IP problem I know very little to help your issue. Other alternatives you can try is alternative Software for your router instead of the one from Netgear. I have found just from a quick search Openwrt and DD-wrt, both of which are linux based and have their own limitations.

As for the

Openwrt

build/s, WIFI only works in 802.11g, but 802.1an/ac work only with limited functionality or not at all. That may not seem so important considering you would only use it for the WAN/LAN ports.

As for

DD-wrt

, your best bet is to skim through their forum posts to figure out what works and what doesn't. (DD-wrt contains non-FOSS drivers from Broadcom, which they don't release to public, so better compatibility in general)

You can always use another wifi extender in your combo (or stick with it, if that's not the issue).

Best of luck in solving your problems.🤞
[General Questions and Answers] bmaz121:
Thanks for that, great idea! What I find though, with Extenders, is that they require you to have your base station WIFI on 24/7 where my set-up the base, which is right next to me, is off and the 2nd router is WIFI on. This keeps me from being 2.4 or 5.0 waves passing through my body.
[General Questions and Answers] bmaz121:
Update: 9-26-21 3:31PM PST I did some reading on different Qos settings and can see a potential problem, so I unchecked Qos completely. All the 2FA codes are coming through now. I have to wait another day before being sure, but I think that may have been the problem. It also had a problem logging on to WIFI which had that too. So, my question now is, What does Qos have to do with 2FA codes coming through. The codes are no normal MMS messages so is it the software in the router being old and not knowing about 2FA protocols with Qos or what?

Also, I had a heck of a time logging in to the site, and after I did, I had to reload the site in order to see my post which took too long to find. Where is the "See your Post Button"?

Also, which bands would my phone support? I'm using it on T-Mobile in the U.S and not getting 5G. This phone lacks a band selection menu. I think I may need to to do root this phone and use Network Signal Guru to force band selection.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] ChrisMills83:
I've been very interested in buying the US Ultimate version directly from Asus for the past several months because I had seen that the Tencent version of this phone of this phone had almost no compatibility with US carriers and I found no real clarity in third party product listings as to what version of the phone I would be buying. I've been back and forth with their customer service via email several times and they have been minimally helpful. I tried to get clarification on how to tell which version of the phone a seller has listed and a back and forth of about five contacts by me to Asus and I still don't have an answer. I've been doing a lot of digging online though and I found a page that specifies the different versions and their network band capabilities. I'll link this below. From what it appears, as long as you're not getting the Chinese "C" version, it doesn't appear that there should be any difference between the US version and global version bands. I am assuming that the non-US and non-China version, labeled "A" version, is what sellers are referring to as the "global" or "international" version.

https://rog.asus.com/phones/rog-phone-5-ultimate-model/spec > Network Standard

Unrelated, but my experience with their customer service has been poor to mediocre and the experience of trying to buy one from them directly has been a nightmare and I am almost so turned off by this experience that part of me doesn't even want to buy this phone anymore.

I would be interested in confirmation of your network bands though, too.

Is there any way that I can flash Samsung Galaxy S10+ SM-G975F firmware in SM-G7975U. Reason for this is the device isn't picking up any signals in my region. I suspect this is because the device is network locked and is not working with networks in my region. I'm trying to find a way to flash firmware but I can't find any info on it.

Not possible, F variant is Exynos while U variant is Snapdragon. If it's network locked, changing regions won't help anyway as network unlocking is totally independent from what firmware you have installed.
