I too had/have similar issues with the "waiting for device.."

I resolved it by removing all the drivers and then downloading what I believe is likely to be a more up to date version from here:

Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers

The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

developer.android.com

I also downloaded their version of adb/fastboot in the standalone package from here:

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

Together these two resolved my "waiting for device..." issues and I can consistently get through to the Android "no command" screen.

My problem is also that the power plus volume up button no longer seem to work. I downloaded the reboot2recoveryv5-zip batch file and read the thread which produced it but it would appear the method no longer works either. I can, using "fastboot reboot fastboot", get the fastbootd menu to open but it has no option to exit back down into the recovery menu.

View attachment 5509453

Reboot to bootloader simply brings me back to the "FASTBOOT mode..." screen.

I contacted Nokia support and they were as much help as wet socks.

Although it does not help my situation they did suggest something which may help the OP:

****************************************************************************************************

In order to fix the issue that you face with your device please follow the steps below:

1. You should login to the Gmail (that is used on the device) on a PC.

2. Click on "Find your phone"

3. Choose the proper device from the list of devices that will appear. (These are the devices that are using the same Gmail account)

4. Confirm the password of the Gmail once again.

5. Click on "Consider erasing your data" >"Yes, erase"

After the final click a remote factory reset if performed and the device will loose the data unless it was stored in a cloud, but this will remove the pattern and the issue will be solved!

****************************************************************************************************

In my case I don't even have a Google account set up on the phone yet so that didn't help.

Since Nokia refused to help I am forced to turn to you guys for any help/ideas? In the meantime I continue to try various button combinations in desperation.

This is my first, and my last, Nokia. It's also my first new phone in a long time, is this type of factory reset prevention common among manufacturers? I ask as I consider my replacement for this phone if I can't ever manage to reset it.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
After this screen please type fastboot reboot recovery and then you will get recovery screen
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Peterbd:
Wow, that worked!!!

To clarify (for anyone else) I typed "fastboot reboot recovery" whilst the phone was still on the screen I posted in my previous post.

I cannot thank you enough mvikrant97, I was at my wits end pressing and holding buttons. I did download your batch file although I didn't use it I read it and instead ran my own commands but could you not perform this whole process automatically as follows:

:5

fastboot reboot fastboot

timeout /t 10 /nobreak

fastboot reboot recovery

pause

goto :menu
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] HackT3k:
Nokia G10 TA-1334 is dead after performing factory reset from recovery.

It seems /SYSTEM partition was wiped out. How to write firmware on this phone?

Bootloader is locked, can not flash it even with testpoint!

Any ideas??
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] LeeSeokmin:
Yes yes!
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
no need to flash firmware just set your phone in fastboot mode and then type command in CMD

fastboot --set active=b
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] HackT3k:
fastboot --set active = b

fastboot: usage: unknown command active

No luck!

Sorted out, correct syntax was:

fastboot --set-active=b

Setting current slot to 'b'...

OKAY [ -0.000s]

finished. total time: 0.016s

Command worked, phone booted up. Thanks!!
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] yosy1692:
This TOTTALY WORKS!!!! Thanks guys for your excelent explanation! You only have to download updated drivers and to all the commands inside SDK Platform Tools Folder to make it works, I changed the name of folder to easily type the command ;)
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] shaaa0:
thank you, this commands solved my issue.

While the phone in fastboot mode I copied and pasted the command but not worked till I reentered the command from:

fastboot reboot recovery

pause

goto :menu

then it shows the recovery menu without using any key, and I succeeded to rest Nokia G20 phone throw the menu.

Hi,

Apologies but I have a Nokia C21 Plus.

I was able to get into recovery using your method, however the only 2 options I get are:

Reboot system

Power off.

This device runs android 11 go.

Any advice?

Thanks!
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] smakaho:
Bought a g20 with frp lock. Thought it would be an easy fix. Especially after seeing this post. Unfortunately Nokia removed the recovery boot, so there is no shorcut, no menu entry, no bueno. I had to pay a service that remotely force-flashed a recovery on the device, informing me that it didnt have one and voila frp lock is gone .
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] cellfonepimp:
A little help, I get to recovery screen using the commands provided here but at the wipe option it just reboots normal. Any help is appreciated, TIA
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Are you referring to fastbootd? fastbootd it different than fastboot mode.

You have to put your phone into fastboot mode and then connect to your computer and then type in fastboot reboot recovery in command prompt window then you may get NO COMMAND screen and from there you have to hold power key and then just press volume up once and then you would have recovery mode.

Please let me know if you need more assistance on this.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] cellfonepimp:
Holding power and press volume up only reboots the phone, I send fastboot reboot fastboot then fastboot reboot recovery, gets me to recovery screen, then when I select wipe it just reboots normally, no wipe.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] TopFormForum:
The Nokia G10 WON'T hard reset with any software nor POWER, VOL- nor VOL+ combination keys because Nokia especially G10 TA-1338 has to be test pointed... meaning you will have to manually open up the phone removing the back and the batteries and locate the test point. it will be located near the camera side. Having any issues you can google where to locate the test point with images. I hope I help you cause I had the same problem too.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
Hi I have Nokia 2.3 TA 1206 when is on fastboot and I use the script to go to recovery I get the android logo but can't enter the menu with pressing power and volume up tried volume down up power everything does not wanna enter the menu. Any suggestions?
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Are you trying to reset the phone?
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
you can use this tool. Switch off your phone completely.

Press both volume up and down and connect the phone to your computer.

Please make sure you have the drivers installed. MTK Drivers and LibUSB drivers.

Open the tool and select the function to perform. Download the tool from here
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
yeah hard reset forgot the lock
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
Please give me access to download it thanks
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
it says connecting to device failed ADB
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
This software does not make difference as from fastboot I reboot in recovery but can't access the boot options even with pressing volume up and power. Tried the reboot to factory from fastboot can't be done for security something.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
You need drivers. You don't need adb drivers. Please connect your phone in BROM mode.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
But it does find it in fastboot which drivers am I missing? I tried to go to BROM but it just reboots does not go anywhere. Thanks
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Than you will have to short the test point to get into Bootrom mode.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] lostanim:
Well that would have been easy if I did it before changing the broken screen. On the phone, I'll ask the owner of the phone if they can remember which gmail Is singed in and use it to change the password remotely
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
That will help too.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
You can flash the device to unlock the device and unlock it.

You have to avoid flashing the userdata partition on the device and the date will be preserved.

Tools like MRT and Z3X Pandora Box would help you.

[Xiaomi Mi 11] chiefofbagdad:
Hello

I bought a used Mi 11 with locked bootloader. The owner of this Mi 11 has forgotten the Passwort from his Mi Account. So we cant unlock it with the Mi Tool. Is there a opportunity to unlock the device? Or perhaps to flash the reinstall the Rom and erase all user data?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pho3nX:
If he has only "forgotten" his password and if you are always in contact both, there a option for retrieve/reset actual password like all customer account.

But if you can't log/connect your Mi 11 with a legit Mi account there any way to unlock your bootloader.

Don't wipe your device also because at the first boot Xiaomi asking Mi account for using / unlock the device (linked account)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] chiefofbagdad:
The seller has no data from the Mi Account for me. In this case,theres is no way to unlock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pho3nX:
It's not the question, data or not data, you must log Mi account with the owner Mi account linked to this device.

Xiaomi want a proof you are the owner, device is not stealed.

So ask him to reset the password
[Xiaomi Mi 11] lil_kujo:
Like @Pho3nX said if the previous owner had a mi account it is very easy to change password or phone number associated to the phone, you just need to go to the web browser and reset your account password, they will send you a temporary code to the phone number associated to the phone. If you dont have the number you can associate another number and reset the password. If the device of legit and not Stolen it should work just fine, I have changed my mi account password in the past having my device locked after getting rid of some stock apps😅, but it is very easy to recover that password.

Say for example, I use dutty's rom (only for an example, no offense please) and want to add some new packages to it, do i still need all the packages and other stuff from the kitchen or just the dutty's rom and the new package will do?

So, I saw a post on reddit stating that when you switch over to Guest mode, the Bloom LWP's are available, however whenever you switch back to your normal profile, they once again disappear, & become unavailable again..

So, I decided to try something, and it worked perfectly! Both Bloom/Blooming Botanicals LWP's are now available on my Pixel 4a WITHOUT ADB, WITHOUT any "ports", or additional apps, & here's how I got it working:

Force stop Wallpapers & Styles app, clear cache/data..

Force Stop built in Pixel Live Wallpapers app, clear cache and data, then Uninstall updates...

(don't re-grant any permissions just yet)

Go to Play store, and Update the Pixel Live Wallpapers app, exit play store.

On home screen of Pixel Launcher, go to the Wallpaper and Styles menu, and grant whatever permissions it prompts you to grant, select"change wallpaper", and voila!!

You will see the "Bloom" subcategory is now available under Come Alive, and Living Universe..

Download bloom/Blooming Botanicals, and apply!

Everything works perfectly, never disappears, have had no issues switching back and forth between bloom/come alive/living universe!

Hello everyone,

I'm playing COD Mobile about 6 hours in a day and I'm searching for a ROM who have the best fps without damaging to much to the battery life (I don't want too much crazy overclocking to explode the phone!), I've searched a lot about custom ROMs but...

at the end I noticed that using Syberia OS and Derpfest seems good (just because of over 59k Antutu score).

I'm playing with 5 fingers + gyroscope. and again as a gamer, good touch responses, not too much of overheating and stable fps are important to me, and also I prefer 1 time install and get updates automatically.

I'm lost in the world of information here, all the ROMs seems fine but I can't choose. sorry for English problems. could you guys please help me?

currently I have my hands on two S10+, one on Android 9 and another one on Android 11. Any1 know if there's any planned obsolescence features on Android 11 like lower battery life, bugs, and less features?

-based on 1 test, i do get higher benchmark scores on Android 11 vs. 9.

-day to day speed seems the same, I do notice Android 9 uses ~7% less RAM vs Android 11

-for the Camera, is it just me or on Android 11 the UX is worse or has less features than Android 9? I find it more difficult to changing video and picture resolution/ options gone entirely?

-camera quality: based on a limited test, Android 9 is equal or better than Android 11.

security/newest aside, do you prefer Android 9 or Android 11/12? and why?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] cheez3:
Android 12 is good as android 9, really happy with the speed and battery duration.

I recommend you to upgrade your OS, the UI/perfomance changes are good.

Also, the little design changes and options make it worth the download.

Android 9&10 is good.. while 11 is laggy and the battery usage in a bit high. I often had to clear memory to get smooth again. Now using 12 I can say it's faster.. no animation lag everything so fluid.. batter also very good on 12

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Cpu sucking scoped storage is fully active on 11 and 12. Android 10 has about 100 more system apps than 9 so it's harder to manage as far as package blocking and troubleshooting.

This stock N10+ Snapdragon in my hand hasn't been updated/upgraded since 11/2019. Last factory reset was over 3.5 years ago, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. No malware in all that time. No antivirus running.

I use Karma firewall and NextDNS. Security simply isn't an issue unless you do stupid things.

My twin N10+ came factory loaded with Android 10. It's dark mode is a bit better but I prefer Pie as it's easier to use/navigate, troubleshoot and is compatible with legacy apps like free WPS Office.

I'm replying to this dead thread because I know others will pull it up doing a Google search.

Be warned, look before you leap!

10 can't be rolled back to 9, 11 can't be rolled back to 10 and you'll be stuck like a pig with scoped storage. A rollback from 12 to 11 is possible I think because (and if) the bootloader isn't upgraded.

Also the more desirable Poweramp version 913 will run on 9 and I think 10, but not on 11 and up. You will lose valuable features on Poweramp in 11 and up related to file management and bloody scoped storage. It will degrade Poweramp.

Rule #1 - if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be!

Firmware updates/upgrades can and do break Samsungs!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Plexus999:
stay on pie, apparently its rare
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Depends when it was manufactured, latter ones are likely factory loaded with 10.

I'm comparing my two factory loaded stock N10+'s.

Both are optimized. The Pie one gets better SOT and is easier to use and troubleshoot.

My games run better on Pie too. Pie has the better overall UI.

11 is not good and 12 is a mess... both my N10+'s will remain on their factory loads*.

*the Pie was updated to 11.2019 while the one Q has no updates.

Good day.

I use the Samsung S10 G973U variant. I've been unable to flash the U1 firmware into it using odin. It always fails.

Attached is my current software info

Also, I never get OTA updates. I don't live in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Be sure to look at this thread, it's all about the S10 and xflashing.

But, having done this just today, I can tell you a few things; 1) Your device appears to originally be a vzw version. That means it's a G973U, and because that variant is the 'carrier' one, there will never be updates if you have the U1 firmware (xaa) on it.

Mine is much like yours, it had xaa/xaa/tmb, so no updates either. I used the patched odin (from above thread) and selected Home_csc and updated it, kept data, updated to latest xaa firmware. Security patch of just last month, pretty cool.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] McWelling:
Thanks a lot. So would you recommend I flash a Verizon U1 firmware?

I currently use a USC G973U firmware and there are no bloatwares tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
So no, as there is no VZW U1 firmware. The U1 device only came with xaa, it's the us open unlocked. Canada has canadian open xac but it's a U device. That would be the only 'open' you could get and get updates, on a U device.

if yer finding the USC works for you, why change? You can flash the xaa, but you'd never get updates, have to do it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] McWelling:
All the problems I have had on my S10 started when I upgraded to Android 11, and I'm currently on 12, problems have persisted, some even worsened; issues like wifi and Bluetooth not working and "camera failed" error everytime I open the camera app.

I want to downgrade it back to Android 10, hoping those issues get fixed. The bootloader is 6, and Android 10's last bootloader is 4.

Is it possible to downgrade android 12 to 10?

Help please?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Depends on WHICH S10 you have. Snapdragon bootloaders cannot be downgraded. Exynos I believe can.

I have two Snapdragon S10+ phones with A11 and they work great. I've heard of issues with A12, which is why I have avoided it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] McWelling:
Thank you. I have the snapdragon S10.

I guess od have to take my loss. I'm thinking of getting the S21 and am torn between going for a SD variant and not getting OTA updates or getting the Exynos, which is known to be less reliable but get updates (Exynos is what's available in my region).

What would you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Recommendation is depending on where you are. In the US, Snapdragon is a good way to go for sure. I don't think it's as good in other countries, but I haven't really looked into that. Plus, if you ever need support in the USA, the Snapdragon would be easier as people won't be confused by the Exynos.

You may not get OTA updates, but you can always apply updates yourself with ODIN and downloads. They can also be applied as an "upgrade" in this manner, so you're not really losing anything as long as you keep up on it yourself, of course.

Honestly, I have stuck to A11 and disabled OTA updates because of the A12 concerns. I imagine I may be overthinking that, but as long as the phone works, what do I care?

What's the "SD" version you're speaking of?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] McWelling:
Thank you.

SD is Snapdragon. Well, I guess it should be fine using Odin.

I was skeptical about using Odin before as I started having issues with my S10 as I updated from Android 10 to 11 with Odin, but I guess the problem is the software update and not the method of flashing it in.
