thank you necromis and segadc....but I beg you both to forgive my stupidity! lol =) I actually figured it out last night... it seems that my audio was muted thru the actions menu....hmmmmmf, go figure that would produce no sound!!! lol *blushing*
[Mogul, XV6800 General] necromis:
well I had put an update on here earlier but it didn't stick so I am posting it in a new message. I found the fix on here earlier for the audio, besides the obvious one you found. LOL It seems that if in the advance settings you have hint for mobile checked it won't sync sound. So make sure that is also unchecked and do a soft reset afterwards. Also the audio server is not always functioning or connected to properly. You can try to exit and reload skyfire to resolve it and hook up with the audio server properly that way.

Hello 👋🤗 I managed to obtain root on

UMIDIGI A11 Pro Max on Android 11

Prerequisites: bootloader must be unlocked.... Before you proceed....

Now it's very simple manually input commands in cmd or like I did it through Linux mint in a terminal type

Fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot magisk_patched-23000_xBY53.img

Fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Once you do those commands

Restart your phone 😃 and done!!! You will now be rooted with magisk...

Remember before you type any of the above commands make sure to unlock your bootloader

Fastboot OEM unlock....
[Android General] Mchlbenner51:
Do you have the global version?

I'm thinking about this phone.
[Android General] Bevnrick:
I am just about to buy this phone, I must have root to add hosts to the hostfile, anyway my question is around unlocking the bootloader, many phones nowadays don't allow that it seems, no codes, no hacking to get it unlocked ? just unlock it at the fastboot command line ?

In a boot loop after successfully flashing through fastboot. Can get back into fastboot mode but not recovery. Fixes? TIA.
[Android General] Tulainas:
Accidentally (more like stupidly) updated Magisk to version 24 and lost Magisk-hide.

I'm trying to reflash version 23 patched-boot-image but i get:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): basic_string::compare: __pos (which is 33554368) > this->size() (which is 0)
Abandon (core dumped)

When trying to flash vbmeta.img i get:

Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB) OKAY [ 0.001s]
Writing 'vbmeta' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')
fastboot: error: Command failed

I know it has something to do with the img size. Any ideas how to start over again?

Thanks
[Android General] Tulainas:
UPDATE!

I was in 'fastbootd' mode, triggered by adb-reboot-fastboot. That's why it wasn't working.

I had to boot into 'fastboot' mode from the recovery menu, and it worked like a charm. Once again!

Ok brother
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
Hello. I just got my A11 Pro Max. I'm on FIDO. I can connect to the network, but I can't connect to 4G or LTE. When I go to the APN settings, there is FIDO info in the fields but they are greyed out and I cannot alter them. Does anyone know how to fix this? FIDO is on LTE 2600 and LTE 1700 and LTE700 frequencies. The phone has all these bands but for some reason it won't connect to 4G or LTE. Please help! Thank you!
[Android General] Mchlbenner51:
Who is your carrier?

You also have to manually put in your apn.
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
I'm with FIDO. The settings are there - I can see them but they are greyed out. I just need to correct them but it won't let me.
[Android General] Mchlbenner51:
Can you put in a new apn?
[Android General] Mchlbenner51:
I don't mean editing a apn I mean doing a new apn.
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
Sorry for the late reply. No, I can't add a new APN either. There is no + icon for me to add. :(
[Android General] Mchlbenner51:
Contact a seller of this phone see if they can help you.

Also can you refresh your apns?
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
I bought the phone through AliExpress. Its an UMIDIGI A11 Pro Max. The specs say it has all the bands I need for Fido (in Canada). 3G works. I can make phone calls and receive sms. But the Fido SIM card has automated APN settings embedded that log the info into the phone immediately upon insertion. The settings are greyed out.

I don't think the issue is with the phone. I'm thinking it's with the Fido sim(?) What do you think? I don't think the seller will be able to help me with this issue.... (?)
[Android General] jldexter:
Thx for te post Bro!!

does anyone know about any ROM, or GSI that works for this phone?
[Android General] icollectpoints:
I just got myself into this very same mess. Bought it from "UMIDIGI official store" on Aliexpress. Tried everything under the sun and even the Freedom mobile SIM trick. You can add APN specifically for Freedom, but the FIDO profile does not see it.

Did you ever solve the problem?
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
Thanks for the reply. No, unfortunately I was not able to solve the issue. I spoke to Fido tech and they said that there are specific phones that are not on their list. Those phones do not get the correct APN values pushed into them. Although that may be part of the issue, I believe there is a lock of some sorts from Fido's side since it won't allow you to even add a new APN. The other carriers I tried have worked - Koodo and Freedom. Have you tried other sim cards?
[Android General] icollectpoints:
Darn it.

Yes, I've tried an inactive Freedom SIM (bought it just so I could try the suggested trick I found online) and an active Telus. I can tell you that Telus works 100%. I'll see if I can get a partial refund then. At least it's something.
[Android General] J-S-Y-B:
Are planning to get a refund from umidigi? I think the problem is with Fido though. The phone works fine and it does have the band frequencies it claims to have. It's just that Fido refuses to recognise it. 😭
[Android General] icollectpoints:
That's not what's going on. FIDO is partially to blame - their SIM sets the bit that either allows or doesn't allow modification to the settings. That's where their problem ends. FIDO doesn't "push" any settings onto your phone.

UMIDIGI created an Android 11 kernel that allows the network operator to set that bit which blocks the modification AND they bastardized the settings in apns-conf.xml located in the system folder. So the phone recognizes the FIDO SIM and grabs the bad settings from that file.

UMIDIGI has to either fix the setting entry for FIDO in that file or ensure that all network providers don't have the option to lock out their APN settings.

Rooting the phone lets you manually and directly adjust that file. Unfortunately rooting your phone also brings the very real possibility of bricking it.

My family has 4 UMIDIGI Bisons with Android 10. They all work fine and the APN settings are clearly different. The same SIM works in one, but not the other.
[Android General] Tulainas:
Hi everybody!

Please don't panic, but it seems this thread has been hijacked.

I repeat: Don't panic.

You can also use Karma Firewall to kill internet access for apks that don't need it.

FYI, just noticed the release of the Expert Raw app by Samsung, supporting all lenses for the S21 Ultra. Editing can be done through Adobe Lighthouse for Samsung.

The app is release in South Korea, but als available through mirror sites.

More info here
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RomBox:
thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Manual controls over the telephoto lenses are awesome. However sadly "RAW" here is used loosely since there's built in noise reduction that cannot be adjusted.

Top is "Expert RAW" DNG to JPG with just adjusting brightness. No noise reduction is applied and yet there is very little detail. Bottom picture is just stock camera night mode. More noise, but also more detail.

View attachment 5466421
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ski.ign:
I'm testing Expert RAW now and mus confirm, noise reduction exist even on DNG file. You suggest to use other app?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] UNIK97122:
I'll test it tonight
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Right after downgrading to 11 I saw this post. Back to 12... Again and, yes, it's True. This is NOT pure RAW. I posted 3 photos down here so you can see what's going on. I apologize in advance for this long post but I wanted to show the actual view on the user's screen.

1st: Expert raw actually takes a RAW photo (notice the high chroma noise) but immediately processes it, to reduce the noise as seen with the yellow progress circle in the lower part of the screen. View attachment 54668372nd: after processing, the photo looks like this

View attachment 5466841

3rd: after opening the photo in Photoshop Express, it looks like this:

View attachment 5466843

To the untrained eye, this looks like such a great, clean image. But this is clearly, not RAW and it is not what users asked for.

Honestly, Samsung is frustrating. They give you the feeling that they are listening to their customers. We ask them for oranges and they give us watermellons. My theory is that they absolutely know they have mediocre sensors in their flagships and do not want to risk their image by letting you see the RAW capability of their camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ski.ign:
Sad but True. Higher ISO level = more agressive processing.

This example with some lightroom touches from x10 tele captured on ISO 50 but on tripod gimbal with 1/15s time.

Glad that they gave us full control at all, that's the most important thing, but they also had to give something back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ski.ign:
More examples with little lightroom postpro. All lenses and this time all captured from hand. Expert RAW creates multiple ammount of photos to some kind of HDR RAW. Anyway theare are much better than photos from standard camera app. Less processing but still exist.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
lol that's the thing though, the sensors aren't mediocre. Having a Snapdragon with access to telephoto RAW for a while now, I can definitely say that they're pretty good albeit a little soft and lack contrast. I think it's that Samsung's algorithm is still problematic and they are still catering to the common user who they think is scared of any signs of noise.

Here's a zoomed in picture of a 10x GCam RAW zoomed in with Photoshop Express without noise reduction

View attachment 5466913

And here's the Expert RAW version

View attachment 5466915
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Wow, the Gcam looks very nice. That's exactly what I hope to get out of the Exynos someday :))
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Expert raw seems to be the answer to apple's proraw or I can't remember the exact name. Basically it's 6 raw shots stacked together to help reduce the amount of noise and increase dynamic range over a single raw since these phones are usually meant to have lots of internal post precessing after the raw shot to look good. I was pretty excited when I read apple had come up with it. Turned out to be disappointing. Looks like Samsung's answer isn't better either.

It shows the difficulty of processing and stacking multiple images. I'll stick to my gcam with snap dragon as I'm super happy with it. 10x is by far my favorite lens to take portraits, never use the fake portrait mode, even in 3x it can't beat gcam 10x. Google processing is just that good. If pixel 6 pro had a 10x periscope I was probably switching phones... Will have to wait some more :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] yoyosquad:
what GCAM mod are you using btw?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Arnova, one of the first version that was released. I've been really happy with it so haven't bothered updating to one of the latest version that beserker has posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ski.ign:
if that's not a problem, can you write us exact version of this release?

Hello, i have question - how LOSELESS JPEG function works? Can You share some photos without editing it in external editors like lightroom? I'm interested how jpg from expert camera looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] oraned:
I don't see any different between this camera end the stock camera
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Hi, I am not sure what you mean by lossless jpeg. I couldn't find a setting for this. Here you can find 6 JPEG photos. 3 with stock, 3 with expert. All settings (ISO, Exposure, Focus distance, White balance) should be exactly the same as I have manually selected them while keeping the phone on a tripod. Auto HDR was disabled too. https://we.tl/t-WSBZjBGaNB

Also, I am on the Exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] oraned:
but There are still not many details like google camera
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Well I gues it depends. Personally, I did not find any Gcam version that does not smooth things out. In some instances, the stock camera was sharper than Gcam so I decided not to bother with it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shriom_manerker:
WHAT ? how exactly do you manually focus on 10x and 3x in the stock camera app?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
You can only manual focus on 3x and 10x in the ExpertRaw. I didn't use the tele in my photos because the stock cannot do this yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shriom_manerker:
yeah I know ! i'm asking that to the guy who said both of them seem the same to him lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fl.campos:
Would someone tell me what are the shutter speed ranges for 3x and 10x lenses on this app? I'm thinking about buying one S21 Ultra for low light photography on a tripod.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dizzyrul3z:
3x and 10x from 1/12000 to 15'
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fl.campos:
Marvelous
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Strange, are you on Exynos? Slowest shutter for me on the Snapdragon model for all 4 rear lenses including the two telephotos is 30 seconds, not 15.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] UNIK97122:
I see that you also have problems with black or dark colors otherwise I don't really see a difference from the normal pro mode with regard to the main sensor or the ultra wide angle
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Well, there is a difference in terms of clarity. I've uploaded here a photo of the same guitar (allmost same settings) but with the normal stock camera raw. You can open it in camera raw and compare with the expert version so you can see what I mean. https://we.tl/t-IOVxhMJpdB
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] UNIK97122:
oh yes anyway huge difference, I was going to test on one of my castle one of these evenings side by side it looks huge
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Randi03:
Exactly, the difference is unbelievable. Although I do understand why, I mean the Expert uses stacked RAW's, and in some instances it can give cleaner images but they are exageratedly clean. I will always prefer more noise/detail to smudged/clean images.
