[OPPO Find X2 Neo Questions & Answers] wakruizer:
hi all, ive tried hunting down for months now trying to find a download for a stock firmware for oppo find x2 neo

and have had the run around to dead ends... specially some that have offered the firmware on google drive but

when i click on it it always says user has too many visit try again later...

so i was wondering if anyone might have the stock firmware for this phone that they can send me a download link

for or advise me where i can download it even via ftp or something..

thanks all
[OPPO Find X2 Neo Questions & Answers] AlibaBASH:
I know which website you are talking about (where it says too much download at the same time), and I have the firmware.

But there is a problem

This phone appear to have an insane security

I mean even if you select "Unlock Bootloader", well you are gonna see the options enabled but you cannot flash any .img to the phone because ADB doesn't see the phone in the "recovery"

Also I want to warn you about something in the phone.

If you updated your phone at the time i'm posting this (CPH2009_11_F.07), and you try to flash an CPH2009_PU_11_A.15 for instance, then you may experience a pretty bad time (like bricking your phone with a bootloop problem, etc..)

So yeah i'm gonna send you the link when I can if you want
[Vivo X70 Pro+] SquirtlePoke:
Hi guys,

For those with China rom Vivo X70 Pro+, can I check if you have delays when you want to draw/annotate the photos before sending to others on whatsapp?

Its like, when I use the inking feature to draw on the photo, nothing happened at the beginning. But after kept trying for some time, the inking/annotation suddenly works. After a while, the cycle repeats.

Anyone with the same issue and know how to resolve? :unsure:
[Vivo X70 Pro+] enb007:
Hello, I just tried the exactly situation you mentioned, and I have NO lags or delays at all. I opened whatsapp, attached a picture, selected the "pen" to draw on the picture, added some symbols, emojis, and no delays at all

Greetings:

I am wondering if it is possible to hear the routing GPS voice guidance for direction over your phone bluetooth monoraul or stereo headset. I have tried XTmobile GPS software on my Tilt WM 6.1 with my Jawbone 1.0 but I can't hear the voice guidance through my headset; however, I can hear the phone conversation and voice dial with my Jawbone. I wonder if using other GPS software such as Igo 8 or TomTom 7 and stereo headset will solve my problem. If not, is it possible to achieve this? It is impossible to hear the voice guidance through the speaker while walking in NY city street.

Your advice and help is greatly appreciated.

Basically tittle. I messed something in my phone up and now I cant use MIUI. Other Roms work, only MIUI and I actually kinda started liking MIUI.

Does anyone know a fix. I already tried Formatting data

Edit: to the people who find this thread looking for help, you probably wont find any. I decided to give up and follow Sans' advice "Maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you". I already have a functioning phone with pixel experience so why bother trying to fix something that isnt a problem.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Abdullah.Csit:
try re-flashing the MIUI rom with TWRP & if you can't use twrp or not success then download latest fastboot MIUI rom, download Official Mi flash tool then flash the fastboot MIUI rom with it.

If you need anything to be Clearfield feel free.

[Lenovo P11] Jiddu_Jid:
Hi,

I am fairly new to flashing and rooting android devices. I managed to root my tablet a few months ago using the following sc00ter98 procedure:

https://xdaforums.com/t/pad-11-tb-j606f-unlock-magisk-rooooot.4288159/#post-85707379

But after that I noticed that my tablet no longer received Android updates, I wanted to manually update Android using the LMSA utility. I made a backup of my data before that so I could afford to lose everything. But once the process was finished my system won't boot anymore. In fact I am stuck on a menu at startup not knowing what to do.

View attachment 5483341

This is the only menu I have access to. I can change the "START" with volume buttons and there are :

Restart bootloader

Recovery Mode

Power off

Boot to FFBM

Boot to QMMI

But watherver I choose, this only reboot the tablet and then go back to this menu.

I would then very much need your know-how if you please!

Thans by advance,

Jiddu
[Lenovo P11] AndroPlus:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] droid745:
I received a used z fold 2 in pristine condition that was used for a month or less and can upgrade to the z fold 3 for $500. Is it worth the upgrade for $500?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Fytdyh:
I would say no. You get

CONS:

a smaller outer display

A smaller battery,

PROS

a tad better processor

a kinda invisible under display inner camera, which is a worse compared to fold 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] droid745:
Thanks, that is what I was thinking. Just wish the z fold 2 had a better inner screen protector like the 3 as the rubbery feeling kind of sucks on the 2. I think I will just keep the 2 and see what they do with the z fold 4 next year and then maybe upgrade to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
You will probably be able to get a better deal on trade in, too. I managed to snaffle an au$1,300 trade in discount (~us$900) plus half price care + by trading in my Z Flip that only cost au$1,000 last year. It was a limited time offer, and Samsung often do these.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
The outer display is the exact same size on both devices. And the battery size is very close. 4500 vs 4400.

You also get water resistance and SPen compatibility.

I had the ZF2 for almost a year, and the ZF2 has been a great upgrade, well worth the money in my opinion. $500 to upgrade is a really good real, but I think Best Buy has some pretty crazy offers right now too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] chetly968:
I would say what's $500 worth to you. $500 isnt much to some, I spend more on dinner. So I would upgrade all day everyday. I will say that the z fold 3 is the first phone in years that I won't switch from until it's successor comes out (the Motorola RAZR back in 2004 was the last). It does everything right for me. Especially since I use the camera only once a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] imapfsr:
I would upgrade without question. If not just for the fact that I live in an area with bad reception and the F3 is getting much better reception then the F2 to the point where I don't have to be on wifi calling to use the phone on the F3. The internal screen is much better to the touch and definitely feels tougher and certainly not as sticky and rubbery as the F2 screen does...love the F3.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Whilst battery is 5% smaller, SOT & usage from a full charge is 25 to 30% less on the Fold3..

Definitiely a much worse battery drain on an Fold3 vs Fold2. I would NOT upgrade right now!

(I do have my fingers crossed Android 12 closes the battery life gap ... but am not holding my breath).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I've had the ZF3 since launch and yes at first battery life was terrible. All new devices are like that. Go through ANY forum here, and you'll see complaints on every single one of them about battery life at launch. ALL of them.

But it has improved and I would say it's very comparable now to the ZF2, which I owned for almost a year.

I would definitely upgrade from the ZF2 to the ZF3 given a good deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
I had a Fold3 for 2 months and battery life was CONSISTENTLY 25 - 30% poorer than on the F2

Some Forum members point at Snapdragon 888 as a power hog. Other people have other ideas

Constant factor for me is 25% WORSE battery life.on F3 over what I had with F2

@OP Don't upgrade from a F2 to an F3 if getting a full days use on one full charge is important to you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinczetibor:
I didn't have the Fold 2 but I had S20 Ultra and the Fold 3 battery time is better than the S20 Ultra's.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Cool yes coming from different devices will be a different experience for Fold3 upgrade

I was trying to answer the OP who has an F2 and asked if it's worth the upgrade to F3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
I can only offer my experience of battery and that it has been excellent. I have about 40% left at the end of a day.

Thats with alot of spotify streaming, gps/fitbit as I use for a run, YouTube for about an hour, with Twitter and Facebook thrown in for extra.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Blues fan:
The real question is if you didn't have the Z fold 3 and being 60 days away when the S22 Ultra/Note with Spen hits the stores is it even worth upgrading? You know many on XDA will be running to the S22 Ultra with built in Spen when it hits.

I currently have the S21Ultra and love the Note line. Saki will be Flossy will be all saying to get it when it hits.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
-If- Samsung gets their sorry Note act together it will likely be in the fall of next year.

Even if that happens Android has dropped the ball twice now with Android 11 and 12.

It will be probably closer to 2 years before their scoped storage mess gets effectively implemented.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Blues fan:
the S22 Ultra IS the Note It's called the S22 Ultra but it's just the Note with a new name. Going forward the Ultra is the Note device released with the S series.

I don't like the Android 12 myself. My S21 Ultra is flawless, was and Android 12 it's acting buggy now. Seeing a lot of people complaining about it with their Fold devices as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
We'll see what the rabid box of gerbils know as Samsung does in the coming year.

I bought my second new N10+ 2 months ago because I like them a lot, they're a solid workhorse and don't want to deal with the multiple issues both Samsung and Android are having with their new technologies. I'm running on Android 9 and 10 with zero incentive to go beyond Android 10.

Of course it depends what's important to the individual. I've never had any major security issues even on the 2 yo Pie variant, but scoped storage would trash my freeware office app for starters.

Color rendering, good low light display usability and battery life are more important variable refresh rates. Add to that I know the N10+'s display is long lived and reliable.

5G isn't worth the power trade off as 4G gets it done and will even speed up a bit because of the 5G users reducing the pressure on the 4G bandwidth.

A faster Snapdragon and ram memory be nice but that be offset somewhat by scoped storage and forced encryption.

A SD card slot is mandatory; I need my dual drive computer.

I prefer the square display corners immensely as well as the 7mm profile with no cam hump.

Absolutely insist on a native spen, preferably on the right side and with bt remote capability.

Samsung runs hot and cold.

When they're running what you consider to be hot, grab it.

When they're cold, let Samsung hold on to it🤣

When in doubt, wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Each to their own.... N10+ x2 and Android 9 and 10. on them. You are in a unique group with a membershuip of 1! :geek:

(like 99.9999% of XDA users I imagine)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
To he honest I have used Android 10 11 and 12 on many brands and devices and never had any serious issues with any of them - never ever ...

In the last 8 weeks I have used Android 12 as daily driver on Xiaomi Mi11, Google Pixel 6 Pro and S21 Ultra and all of them were stable and smooth as butter... And all with spectacular battery life over my own previous Android 11 SOT experience with each of them

That's why I'm holding onto my F3 until A12 stable is released... just to see if I can manage a full days use on a Fold3 without experiencing battery anxiety by mid afternoon :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Blues fan:
I'm pretty sure the S22U is the note. I own a small mobile accessories business amd a couple suppliers already have the S22 Ultra generic cases on their websites coming soon and have photos of the case. The case makers get the dummie phones ahead of time so they can make the cases. That's how you see cases for Samsung and Iphone out about 3 weeks before the phones are in the stores. Flossy talks about this on one of his videos.

Now if they were not releasing a Note version of the S22 in Feb I would probably gone with the Pixel 6 Pro, or I'd still get the S22 Ulta and get the Supcase that has the spen slot. But if they didn't even release a stand alone Spen for the S22U I would go with the Pixel 6 pro until the improved Fold 4 came out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Great if it's working for you👍

For the Fold 3 the updates are needed and they will hopefully sort out the bugs. Regardless I would let others play lab rat for a bit with new firmware updates before installing them.

I don't want scoped storage or forced encryption and the increased cpu cycle/ram usage they bring. Security has never been a major issue for me when running Androids.

I still use my ancient freeware version of WPS; it won't work on Android 11 or higher. It does work with Android 10, at least on Samsung's.

There's no drop in free replacement office apps, and MS cloud office is a joke. I have other trusted freeware apps that would likely run afoul as well. Worse anything that would impact SD card access would greatly impair my device's functionality and mission.

Fortunately in my case I have the choice between Android 9(on the one N10+),10 and 11. I will remain on 9 and 10 likely for the lifespan of these devices as they are running very well.

Less learning curve, fixing, finding work arounds and more using those devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
Seeing as the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is nothing more than a minor improvement over the GZF2. I would say that you are better off saving your money and getting the next upgrade in the series. As at the moment the GZF series of devices are more or less still in their development stages.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] montrealbagel:
I would say yes. It is the most advanced futuristic phone

do you achieved to relock the bootloader then ?

If yes did you use the fastboot "oem re-lock" command ?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Samsung devices don't have fastboot, they only have download mode (Odin). You can relock them by reflashing stock firmware most of the time.

Hello,

well, starting from a rooted device, without TWRP,

last firmware android 11 build T865XXS5CUL1_T865OXM5CUL1_ITV.

DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STUFF,

process will delete everything.

I download the same firmware and unzip it

into a folder on my pc.

Remove all the accounts and securities.

Reboot the device into Download mode

and via Odin3 (v.3.1.14) install the same

firmware (use csc not home csc)

and reboot into system (will factory reset the tablet).

Boot again in Download mode and

keeping vol up enter the relock bootloader section.

After relocking the teblet, it will factory reset again

and reboot into system.

Done.

Do your upgrades and reset your securities.

Cheers :giggle:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] DartGerion:
Thank you for your instructions! I had a question, did the warning message disappear after relocking the bootloader?

How do you do that?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] CoolRaoul:
Unfortunately there is no such option on my device (which is a different model BTW : Galaxy TAB S5E, could this explain the difference ?)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
@CoolRaoul

mate, sorry for confusing you in my post.

I meant that to re-lock the bootloader you have to go

into the same section you used to unlock it,

it's the same to unlock/re-lock (DOWNLOAD MODE).

Make sure you have re-flashed the

original firmware with CSC file (not HOME CSC).

I also recommend you to ask (for a confirmation)

in the thread dedicated to your tablet.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] CoolRaoul:
That what I have done. I've used ODIN to flash the official firmware with the 3 files, AP, BL and CSC (not HOME_CSC)

I'm still getting the warning at boot (but the boot process complete successfully after that and it's the official Samsung software which is used.

Thanks

I've already done here and here

Waiting for a response
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] peppet:
with the unlocking of the bootloader and the flash of the custom recovery the system goes from official to custom, the security warning is activated and even if you block the bootloader you can no longer go back to official. It's a good idea to notify buyers if you sell it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] CoolRaoul:
OK then, thanks for the clarification.

I'm just a bit surprised to find several forum posts explaining how to *relock* the bootloader, which obviously do not work since the boot warning message ("This tablet's bootloader is unlocked and its software integrity can't be verified"), which confirm that it is not, is still displayed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] peppet:
Yes, it's true. if you pay attention at startup or in download mode, you will find a series of codes, one of which goes something like this: 0x01 when it should be 0x00. I'm going from memory of course! I remember that at the time of note, note 2 etc.. someone found a way to reset this code to 0 but subsequently things changed and already from note 4 it was no longer possible. but I could be wrong. you will see that someone more knowledgeable will answer you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
I'm not very experienced with samsung devices and

I don't know how different your tablet is from mine,

but as written in my post #7, I only rooted it,

without installing a custom recovery and consequently

compromised encryption and partitions.

Anyway, seems you missed the part when

you have to reboot into DOWNLOAD mode and

keeping vol up you enter the "unlock/re-lock" bootloader section.

Try that (if you want) and let the community know.

Edit: removed duplicated words.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] CoolRaoul:
I did that but misuntertood lock vs unlock! And thought bootloader was now locked.

I've fixed it, now my device bootloader is locked again and everything is fine

No warning message at boot anymore

Hi guys,

I am looking for an unmodified Stock-Firmware (no Root) for the 32GB WiFi Version of the Xperia Tab Z2. Specifically, I need a version that includes Germany (DE) as a region like this for example SGP512_23.5.A.1.291_1282-2707_VMo FR/DE/AT/CH/BE/NL/PL V6.0.1.

The Android version doesn't matter as I am using the Flashtool to flash it to the Tab Z2 and from there I can update to the newest version via OTA Update.

Is there any software out there right now that can remap the hardware keys easily so that when a key is pressed the applications on the device think it's another key? (for example, holding the Volume Down key makes applications think you're holding down the * key on a phone keypad).

Therefore I can use it to map *, 8, 6, 9, 1 and 0 keys onto a phone without a keypad and play games that require more than the 4 direcitonal keys and center key.

So annoying knowing that you have hardware keys that aren't being used by the game but you don't have the keys the game needs... (yes, no, volume up, volume down, gps and browser key... enough to play the game... though not the keys that game wants)
