[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] StuckOnATree:
I unlocked my tmobile one plus 8t and bootloader unlock to switch to Global for the dual sim. But now i want to switch back to tmobile by using the msm tool to restore.

Will it relock sim on phone or will my phone still be unlocked after msm without doing anything?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
SIM lock and unlock status are independent of the OS, so flashing between Global, T-Mobile, Chinese, India etc, will not alter the SIM lock/unlock state.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SynGreis:
so....help?

I just got a samsung galaxy s21 ultra from freedom mobile in canada.

I was trying to familiarize myself with rooting and such again as its been years since ive been here.

But....the step after unlocking dev options i cant seem to find the oem unlocking. So...im not sure where to go from here...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] moosc:
Probably not permitted by the carrier then
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SynGreis:
is there a solution? i tried doing the date and time but it didnt work.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Nope, it's bootloader locked right out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SynGreis:
so....how do i remove it....do i have to flash something else in.

You cannot unlock the bootloader/root a North American based Snapdragon S21U. It was only possible very early on with the factory bootloader from February 2021 (and even then you had to pay a person $100+ to get the keys). After the bootloader update, that's no longer possible either.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SynGreis:
so i have to pay to have oem unlock? and if i read right this would cost 75-150 USD just to unlock.

im already disappointed with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jericho246:
you should be more disappointed with yourself as you didn't do your research prior to purchasing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SynGreis:
wasnt a purchase. was an upgrade from the carrier. paid 0$ but if i can trade it do you have recommendations on a phone with customizable options and performance? I just got it and the lady said i have until 2 weeks to return it for an exchange of another.

the s21 ultra was just the first phone they offered.

[General Questions and Answers] finnroth69:
I bought a phone (ZTE 2050) that has next to nothing as far as development goes. I have tried to install TWRP recovery but it had never actually worked. I have tried using various tools that port recovery to MTK devices. None of them have worked. I have been able to achieve root through Magisk. However, when I do, I no longer have the stock recovery either. There are several other problems that happen as well, but nothing I cannot work around. What could I be doing that is causing me to lose recovery? The chipset is MTK6771 and it is an ARM-V8 64 bit and it is running Android 9. Literally the only things I'm able to find online regarding this phone is the sites that I believe only copy and paste from other phones whether the root method actually works out not. Almost everything tells me to use MTK Tool but that definitely doesn't work. I have issues with Smart Phone Flash Tool working as well despite all drivers being installed correctly. The only way I have been able to achieve root is through unlocking the Bootloader and flashing. And even though I follow the instructions on commands, I still lose the stock recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] finnroth69:
I have flashed the stock system at least 50 times by now. I have tried flashing everything in different orders as well. When I have root, it always removes the recovery. When I open my file manager, I use Solid Explorer, it tells me there is no root file system. I have tried other root file managers as well. They all tell me the same thing.

[General Questions and Answers] xdabookam:
I've got a $100 Chinese MTK phone and the one redeeming feature is that once the bootloader is unlocked, you can fastboot over USB (bootstrap).

I used SP flash tool to backup the ROM and WwR_MTK to extract the partitions allowing me to make my own custom recovery to boot with fastboot. Briefly, I found a twrp recovery online for another MTK phone and just played around with zImage & initrd.

Shell commands, dmesg, cat /proc/partitions & blkid on the phone come in handy to track down in partition layout. No need to flash anything so don't get issues with /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
[General Questions and Answers] finnroth69:
I got it to hang on to the stock recovery. However, the bootloader remains unlocked. If I lock it again in fastboot, it will not allow me to boot the phone. When I try to flash vbmeta, it tells me there is no such file on the system.
[General Questions and Answers] finnroth69:
I'll give that a shot. I just tried to open my root file system and it told me that BusyBox isn't installed. I thought I had read that BusyBox wasn't necessary with Magisk. Last time I tried to install a BusyBox, it screwed the whole system up. Is there one you would suggest? I've seriously messed with this phone 1000x's now and it's made me giggle shy to do anything to it at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] xdabookam:
Some devices have 'toolbox' or 'toybox' as a limited replacement for busybox (ls -al /bin/ls should reveal what binary the sym link points to).

I've used the ru.meefik.busybox app from the play store.

Busybox is just a tool / binary executable command to replace missing

linux commands. You don't need it installed on the phone, just access to the binary to run commands in the shell (copy it from /data/app/....) - its statically linked so should run without issue in the shell.
[General Questions and Answers] finnroth69:
Ok, I understand that. What I don't understand is why I am now being told that vbmeta cannot be found and installed and my bootloader must remain unlocked. Or why I cannot install recovery without losing recovery.

I can't copy it it. It won't allow me into the root file system.

Real-time overview provides real-time data feedback and analysis, which are significant to improve the efficiency of product operations. For key marketing scenarios related to user attraction, such as online operations activities, new version releases, and abnormal traffic warnings, its low-latency data feedback can benefit your agile business decision-making.

Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: Real-Time Evaluation of Activity Traffic

In most cases, after a new user acquisition activity is rolled out online, traffic is monitored hourly or daily. This makes it difficult for operations personnel to accurately locate the root cause of an exception and make timely adjustments, which may hinder the effectiveness of the activity.

Luckily, real-time overview can analyze traffic by the minute and present real-time fluctuations of new users in an app accurately, indicating when the best activity effect is achieved and how to optimize subsequent activities.

Scenario 2: Optimization of New Versions

Operations personnel require real-time data to measure the performance and acceptance of new versions, in the face of fast product iterations driven by ever-changing user requirements.

For example, after a game update is released, how the players respond to the new content directly impacts the game's revenue.

To understand how users respond to the update and mitigate its problems, real-time overview can be used as a reference. By referring to real-time overview, you can easily spot abnormal fluctuations, and then quickly optimize your app and take corresponding operations methods.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] skodazek:
Hey folks,

Device details:

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (SM-G998W - Canadian Snapdragon 888 variant)

Soundpeats H1 True Wireless Earbuds (Qualcomm QCC3040 audio chipset, BT 5.2)

So I decided to spend a little more than I like and bought an upper mid range set of True Wireless Earbuds. The biggest selling feature of the set was the new QCC3040 chipset that was recently introduced to replace the QCC3020. The big deal about QCC3040 is the introduction of support for aptx adaptive/hd, as well as a few other features to allow the earbuds to pair separately and seamlessly switch pairing from mono to stereo etc.

The earbuds I went with are the Soundpeats H1. Unfortunately, after getting them paired. Updating firmware and installing EQ app etc, I went into developer options to make sure they were using the new codec etc, and alas they were still using standard aptx. The only 3 options available are SBC. AAC. and Aptx. The other 2 options (which are greyed out) are LDAC & SSC (Samsung Scalable Codec, which as I understand it, is likely the reason for this whole issue).

Samsung has deliberately deactivated these codecs which are automatically present in the soc. To make matters worse, most upper mid range earbuds do not support the SSC codec samsung is trying to force onto it's users. So they deactivate a functionality most would likely consider essential (except most are not even aware they are being mislead here because developer options are hidden well enough that 95% of people will never even know that the high end wireless audio tech they purchased is performing no better than a set of throwaways from walmart).

This gets me to my inquiry. Is there any method through software with which to restore these qualcomm codecs? Would appreciate any info the community here can offer.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Which codecs are unavailable?

LDAC and SSC are the best HD codecs this phone offers. So you need a device the supports one of these. There are some excellent Sony and Panasonic Headsets and Buds that use LDAC.

Some have talked here about upscaling the SBC one to get better resolution by altering the stack. Don't know if it's better than LDAC though.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] skodazek:
The codes of which I speak are the Qualcomm ones.

Aptx (which samsung reluctantly introduced with the Galaxy S10 series)

Aptx HD (the SOC of course supports it, but Samsung disables)

Aptx Adaptive (the SOC of course supports it, but Samsung disables)

As for LDAC and SSC. They require extremely expensive devices like Qualcomm QCC51xx chipset devices. Aptx HD and Aptx Adaptive which are supported by midrange and upper midrange QCC3040 chipsets are the only Lossless/HD audio solutions for under $150.

This is an issue that should not be an issue. Samsung actively disables a tech included in the SOC they use just to promote the in house codec they have (SSC), and fail to make that codec compatible with anything except the most expensive audiophile devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] skodazek:
To put things in perspective. I have a galaxy s21 ultra, which is a 1000 dollar flagship device. I could go out and buy an entry level or mid range phone from Poco, Realme, TCL, etc and using the Soundpeats H1 earbuds I have with QCC3040 chipset. The sound quality, bitrate/bandwidth management etc would be vastly superior after pairing with the Poco phone or the Realme than it would be with a Samsung Galaxy s21.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Well I would've gone with a Note rather than the S21U. In fact I bought my second new N10+ 4 months ago. Nonetheless both models share the same deficiency. Apparently it has to do with licensing fees.

I would like to have it too as I do have quit a few HDCD files who's resolution can be 22 bits if loaded as wav files which preserves the HDCD encryption. A high resolution DAC gleans about 90% of this; no HDCD decoder needed. HDCD is a proprietary Denon technology. So there's that...

The Buds+ sound good if you use PowerAmp's graphic equalizer. Sony or Panasonic LDAC... and that's what you got. Pulling the 3.5mm jack pi$$ed me off proper as using the dongle/C port is cumbersome and bound to damage the jack.

So the Buds+ it is. The are excellent for calls and worth it just for that. They never fall out and have a very long run time.

By all means rag on Samsung Tech support about it. They deserve it. If you get a South Korean tech it's a special treat; they can handle even polite criticism.

I think I broke a few of them.... oops🤣😎🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] skodazek:
I have heard mention before that custom rom developers were able to restore Aptx standard codec to galaxy smartphones before Samsung ultimately relented and released a software update that made it available by default.

Is there any reason why rooting, modding or cooking a custom rom would be unable to do the same with Aptx Adaptive and/or Aptx HD on the s21 series?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Sewolk:
Hello! I've got A6 some time ago, and now trying to mess with XPosed, Magisk, and Root. Everything is cool, except of SELinux, I couldn't switch it to Permissive mode, but I really want to. I had some research recently and it seems like stock Samsung kernels have ALWAYS_ENFORCE function or something. I've already tried to flash a few custom kernels, but (almost?) all of them been made for Android Pie. Unfortunately, I have Android Q.

Do there any way to switch SELinux to permissive besides compiling my own kernel based on Samsung open source? Maybe, I have missed something? It doesn't look's like people have many problems with it...

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Just flash some A600X permissive custom kernel, for example Simple Kernel or H-Kernel:

Releases · samsungexynos7870/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7870

Contribute to samsungexynos7870/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7870 development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

You can also flash Ares Kernel (it's also permissive).
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Sewolk:
Thank you for your reply! I couldn't find Ares Kernel. H-Kernel works for me, but there is a problem — when I flashed Magisk and tried to boot, Samsung logo just didn't appear, and I have stuck on a black screen. Same with a Simple Kernel. Never faced that issue on a stock. Any ideas how to fix this maybe?..

I'll try to search for more kernels, thanks for the tip anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Ares kernel is available here and here (older releases; Ares Iron 6.0 was very stable on my device).

I don't know why Magisk makes troubles during boot on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Sewolk:
Okay, so I have tried Ares kernel, thanks a lot for the links. Unfortunately, there are same problem with Magisk, so it seems like this is not a specific kernel causing it. To be honest, I don't have any ideas why is this happening too...

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] LastStarDust:
Hello!

I am on an older version of Android 11 and I would like to install the latest Android 11 OTA without losing root and TWRP.

I know that I could just manually flash the lasted Android 11 firmware, then re-install TWRP and Magisk, but this would mean losing all data and having to reinstall apps, restore backups, etc...

So I was wondering if there were a quicker way to install OTA updates without losing data and root.

I know that there are many articles on the subject but they all refer to a previous version of TWRP and Magisk. Because TWRP 3.6.0 sports a completely revamped codebase I would like to know what is the latest recommended method if any.

This is my system info:

Android 11 sargo-rq1a.201105.002-factory-2433e0c0

Magisk v23

TWRP 3.6.0-11_0

Japan region

PS I do not intend to update to Android 12 yet
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] LastStarDust:
I ended up flashing the latest version of the stock firmware and reinstalling TWRP and root. However if you have a solution please post it for future reference.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] reyqn:
I was looking for the same thing, didn't find any good solution, however, you can edit the flash-all script so that it doesn't wipe your data (remove the -w argument if I remember well).
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] blksith0:
The flashall script will still remove TWRP and root though, right?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] reyqn:
Yeah it does, you have to reflash them after
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] reyqn:
It's annoying that we can't choose the OTA android installs, it has to be the latest one. On some phones you can choose a local file, but I didn't find a way to do so with a pixel 3a.

If you were able to do this, in theory you could just flash the magisk module for twrp retention and preflash magisk on the unactive partition after installing the ota but before rebooting. Then just reboot and you keep everything.

I'm not ready to update to android 12 either (gravitybox, twrp), but I'll try then...
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
I don't understand. Just flash the Full Factory OTA zip in TWRP. That won't remove any data. And you can just check the box to "Automatically flash TWRP after zip" so that you'll keep whatever TWRP you're using. Then you just have to reboot recovery (so that you're on the updated slot) and flash the Magisk APK in TWRP. Reboot and profit.

P.S. This post belongs in Q&A.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] reyqn:
I wondered if you could do this, apparently TWRP doesn't recommend it.

Also I had no idea how this works on a device with A/B partitions. Does TWRP automatically flash on the inactive partition?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
That 'recommendation' is specific to incremental OTAs. Also, it not generally being supported isn't the same as it not being recommended.

TWRP will install the zip to the inactive slot, and then when you reboot, the device will automatically boot into the updated slot.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] reyqn:
Thanks for the precisions, I'll know for the next time. TWRP really is awesome
