[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
I appreciate the offer, but my Moto work is stymied by no easy access to EDL. I had a bad experience with Pixels (locking myself out of my phone, and realizing how much I appreciate EDL to unf#$k what I did) and now am pretty much OnePlus only. I can run a VM to check, no bother... just happy to see the tools offered, and a gentle reminder that if you are willing to roll your own phone firmware from (mostly) source, you might be the kind of person who wants their PC OS open, too... ;)

Again... still cool, and thanks for sharing!
[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] Awilen:
Thanks for the support ^^ only reason I went this far is because it's a non-critical phone so I just poked at it, and I poked sloppily from lack of knowledge, and I dare say I find the issue is a critical oversight by Google (yes, Google) that's been going on for at least a decade now, with the "Allow OEM Unlock" developer setting.

It's like I opened a safe, threw the key in it, then shut it closed. Now to access the key, I need the key. The fact it's possible to leave the key in the safe before closing it, that's it's possible to turn off "Allow OEM Unlock" before locking the bootloader again, is the oversight. I can think of at least two places to check for that setting, one right from the developer settings (if bootloader is unlocked, do not allow turning it off), the other from within fastboot (when trying to lock the bootloader, check if "Allow OEM Unlock" is ON within the flash, fail to lock if it's OFF). But noooooo, go ahead, you can turn it OFF, then lock the bootloader. Ugh.

I still haven't made any attempt at progress since my last few posts. I'm moving soon, I have work, I have other priorities, I don't know when I'll come back to it, but I will come back to it eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Nomuri:
I've done a lot of digging and seen people say that USA variants of Samsung's phones cannot have their boot loaders unlocked. They never go into detail on as to why. I'm not looking for a miracle or asking to have my device unlocked. I've accepted that's not gonna happen in any practical or painless manner aside from just giving up and buying an international version. I just want to know in detail on why they can't be unlocked. What did Samsung do to USA variants that essentially keep the phones locked down? What is the blockade that spells "game over" for any attempt to unlock the device, and where can I find more documentation on what it does or is? Is it some kind of hardware-enforced mechanism that locks it down? I have not dived into the weeds for the android OS and smartphones, but I know nothing about any device is just "magic".

What makes these devices so hard to unlock?

I can't find anything explaining what it is aside from the ocean of articles crying:

"SAMSUNG HATES US! HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR SAMSUNG A10 WITH THIS SIMPLE TRICK!"

"USE OEM UNLOCK IN DEV MODE TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER, AND IF IT'S NOT THERE, I DON'T KNOW".

"SO EASY! DOWNLOAD THIS NON-SUSPICIOUS SOFTWARE TO MIRACULOUSLY ROOT YOUR A10!"

I think it was about to cost only 500 GBP.

I have seen protos selling for 400-420 GBP , ideal price would be 450 - 500 GBP. Though it's still expensive.

Most probably the price after 2 weeks, will be with 100 euros below.

I don't know about it going down much in price beyond the Promotion price of £500, at least for the next few months.

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] WizardPhoenix:
I'm not sure that this is the resource on which this loader is. From personal experience I can say that I tried it on my phone. Tried PitchBlack.img But it does not detect a micro sd card, and it's not about formatting the partition. On the official website https://twrp.me/ not recovery for Lisa. The one I posted works exactly.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] thecon:
About the twrp on lisa...

Downloaded the twrp from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324804 and it's the same as WizardPhoenix. Now, my lisa is global and unlocked. Other than that so far nothing additional (such as twrp, yet), except of course the ADB enablement. To install twrp to the bootloader, I followed the instructions from https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi11lite5g.html which is from renoir (since they don't have any page ready about lisa). Of course, things could be different for lisa installation-wise.

I'm at the point after the instructions saying "fastboot boot twrp.img". I did it, it boots twrp ok from the file, I go to "Advanced > Flash Current TWRP" but it finishes with an error. I don't want to try the alternative way, since the instructions are for renoir. I suspect that the error is due to perhaps lisa has two slots (I could be wrong tho).

So any instructions to properly install twrp 3.6 to lisa on a freshly unlocked Xiaomi mi 11 5g NE?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
Tried on my Lisa, TWRP does not read Internal memory (although it asked for unlock pin)

There is a SHRP thread here on XDA, SHRP recovery properly supports Internal memory and USB - highly recommend to use that SHRP for Lisa.

In the SHRP thread's OP post #1 there is a TG channel link, everybody can directly ask SHRP developer there
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] thecon:
On mine, it seemed to read the internal memory (when in boot into TWRP, it can see everything). It just couldn't install itself. I ended up installing the custom xiaomi.eu ROM (ditching the original stock Global rom) but still I'm waiting to see what to do about TWRP.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
Which version of Xiaomi.eu for Lisa?

AFAIK, they have Stable 12.5.8 or so, as Fastboot ROM (to be flashed through Fastboot)
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] thecon:
I've got 12.5.9, went out 1-2 days ago. Indeed it's fastboot ROM, that's why I'm trying to install twrp, just to be future-proofed.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] shouk_1987:

[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] cssk19:
My device is not reading any recovery. I'm on EU 22.3.3 version.

Tried both SHRP and Lineage Recovery but it keep getting stuck on MIUI logo, not booting into recovery. Then to boot into system again I have to flash EU fastboot ROM.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
No custom Recovery supports A12 yet. That's the reason your Xiaomi.eu is Fastboot ROM, not TWRP

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Rich_Palermo:
Sprint sold to T-Mobile and T-Mobile is selling off Sprint bands between now and Q1 2022 requiring a phone change to stay on their network. I like my V20 and am not impressed with the new Android phones on offer. (*)

Are there any US providers with whom a Sprint V20 will still work? Good 4G performance (1-10Mbps) is fine for my needs and I need to have reliable SMS. I don't want 5G, HD video, gaming performance, or anything like that. I've checked the usual AT&T, Verizon, etc. but unless I'm misreading something, their networks will not accept this phone.

(*) I just sent back a Pixel 5a/5g after preferring the V20 in a side-by-side comparison.

Verizon
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Rich_Palermo:
I checked with the IMEI and Vzn says it is not comaptible?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Which V20 do you have? vs995 is the Verizon model, and will work on Verizon. us996 is the unlocked model, and will work on Verizon (that's what I use on verizon). Other models of the v20 will be tied to their particular carrier.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Rich_Palermo:
Mine says LS997 in one of the panels. As mentioned in the original post, I am currently with Sprint. The phone boots with a Sprint splash screen but should be unlocked. Hoping to find a compatible provider.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
That is the Spring Model, apparently only compatible with Spring. Sorry. :-(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
The Sprint V20 isn't configured to get VoLTE and doesn't pass any whitelist or IMEI compatibility check for the 3 U.S. carriers, so you'll have to switch to one of the other carrier-branded models, either the H918 for T-Mobile, H910 for AT&T, or VS995 for Verizon.

If your LS997 really is SIM-unlocked, and you can change APN settings (Sprint phones are notorious for having that option grayed out, regardless of whether they are SIM-unlocked or not), then you may still be able to get it to work on T-Mobile without VoLTE until they shut down both 3G and 2G networks next year. However, even before their shut downs, T-Mobile may start actively blocking phones at any time like AT&T do, so I wouldn't go with an LS997 as the only phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
This blows so much in the wrong ways. Still have the ls997, but had get free a71 to keep service for TMobile. Tech waste at its finest. Forced to do unwanted.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Rich_Palermo:
Thanks, everyone. Looks like I am out of luck and have to get another phone regardless of cellular provider.

I am interested in recommendations something 2 or more years old that I could get refurbished to work with what's coming so I can trawl eBay. I'll look for other V20s per @C D but options would be good.

What I like about the V20 and would like to carry over in no particular order.

- Replaceable battery (hence older models)

- Notifications are fast (The Pixel 5a/5g I returned had issues)

- Camera with manual settings. Not an expert photographer but the manual mode has come in handy

- Runs the few apps I care about effortlessly (BlueMail, Newpipe, Berlin Philharmonic apps)

- Slot for a memory card

- Second screen

- Rock solid Bluetooth performance
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
Based on that, I'd say if you can go with Verizon or its MVNOs, the Verizon LG V50 would fit most of these. It has roughly the same size as the V20 and still has the fingerprint scanner on the back, too. I guess you'd have to test the notifications and Bluetooth performance, but as long as whatever seller you go with has a good return policy, that shouldn't be a problem.

The second screen doesn't really exist in any phone other than the V10 and V20, and a removable battery only exists in phones (Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro and Teracube 2e) that are more of a sidegrade/downgrade to the V20 while missing many of its features.

If you need compatibility with all U.S. carriers and don't mind the bigger size and lower screen resolution, there is a carrier model of the V60 for each of the big 3 carriers.

Another notable older all-rounder that's easy to find renewed/refurbished on eBay would be the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 if you don't mind the curved screen and being stuck on Android 10.

I own both a Sprint V50 and a Note 9 (both rooted), and while they lack the removable battery and second screen, they both have an LED notification light (though the V50 has a weird one on the back that's also the 5G logo) and absolutely blow away the V20 in both performance and battery life. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the Sprint V50 yet since I can't seem to get a signal to stay on T-Mobile, and while it does work perfectly on an AT&T MVNO, AT&T could block it at any point since it's not on their whitelist.

You may be able to find most of these for around $300 or less in mint/refurbished/open box shape, and it's up to you to decide if those are worth over getting a different V20 at likely less than half the price.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Rich_Palermo:
I will chase all of these down! The Pixel 5a/5g I tried was Android 12 and I thought it was hard to use compared to prior versions. Lots of UI customization features I don't need/want at the expense of core capabilities. My V20 has Android 8 and it works just fine.

I think Sprint is out of the equation and whatever I get has to be for one or more of the other carriers/their resellers.

[General Questions and Answers] Suriyawong:
I have a OnePlus Nord N100 that I dropped off a ladder... I ordered a new phone (screen replacement seemed to not be worth the hastle on such a cheap phone when replacement kit was 60$) but would like to re-purpose the device for something as I am very against e-waste.

I would like to make it a security camera. If I can get ADB shell access it should be possible to install termux and run some linux command line utilities for this (i.e. motion and rclone to upload).

Problem is that without screen I cant login and turn on usb debugging. This phone uses usb 2.0 so I cannot use an hdmi display and mouse.

Is their any way I can get usb debugging enabled? I would prefer to be able to get my files off the device but most of it was backed up. Resetting is fine. I would even be down to try to re flash it with a serial programmer or something. Would their perhaps be any serial programming pads I could solder onto?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you did not have USB debugging enabled in system settings, there is no external way to enable it. Fix the screen, otherwise, the device won't be any good for an secondary uses other than using it as a paperweight or a doorstop.
