[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Massimo1998:
I have the same issue but I can't boot at all. I'm only limited to twrp and fastboot. I was previously running 11.0.3 with Magisk and a Magisk module called xXx_nolimit, downloaded the OTA update and went to reboot to recovery before being prompted for a pattern passcode (I hadn't set any fingerprint or password) so I rebooted into twrp and clicked fix bootloader. Now as I reboot it just boots back into twrp.

I'm also getting these same messages:

Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Unable to mount storage
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

I'm currently running apbf to bruteforce the pattern passcode that I never set in hopes to decrypt my phone. Not even sure it will work though as I don't have FBE user 0 mounted? I have my dad's phone which basically has the exact setup as mine but I didn't update it yet. Anyway to use partition or parts data from his phone to fix mine? I really don't want to wipe my /data or /userdata as it's been a while since I backed anything up.

All I have in my /data folder is:

/data/india /data/recovery /data/reserve

Update:

I tried adb sideloading the previous 11.0.3.1 and as I reboot I get `Init_user0_failed` with a dmesg and android.log file saved in /op2.

My /system/etc/fstab:

/system_root ext4 ro 0 0
/dev/block/sda17 /metadata ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/sda19 /data ext4 rw 0 0
/firmware vfat ro 0 0
/dev/block/sda7 /op2 ext4 rw 0 0
/usbstorage vfat rw 0 0
/vendor ext4 ro 0 0

ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/: http://dpaste.com/CFNTDVTRK

dmesg.log: http://dpaste.com/DPRQLYCEE

android.log: (added as attachement)

I've been told I can use EDL but want to keep that as last resort as I don't have a backup of any of my files.

Edit: I also tried the reboot to recovery, clear cache then reboot back to recovery and reboot system as mentioned on a couple of other threads but that didn't work either.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] cousinit99:
Don't know if this will help, but I recently ended up soft-bricked with that same error after upgrading to a newer version of TWRP. I believe it had something to do with the way TWRP interacts with the /data partition, although I'm not sure how exactly.

Anyway, I was able to get the phone booting into OOS so I could at least back up my /sdcard partition before blowing it away and starting over. The way I did that was to flash crDroid's newest recovery boot img:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-android-12l-op7pro-crdroid-v8-6-26-06-2022.4184671/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/crdroid/files/guacamole/8.x/recovery/

For me, the phone would once again boot into OOS, but fingerprint authentication didn't work, and the phone consistently froze about 5 minutes after putting in my PIN at boot. I was able to extend this time by freezing the Magisk app in Titanium and turning off all radios (Airplane mode on, Bluetooth off, etc.) After like 30 reboots, I was able to get everything copied off the /sdcard partition. Hope this helps someone...

Hello,

I'm new to everything here, patience is appreciated.

I'm trying to find stock Samsung firmware for a Samsung S10. i can not seem to find the appropriate version of firmware that corresponds to device IMEI/Model/sku/SN

I am located in Canada and none of the values offered give me the confidence to continue with the process of flashing the stock firmware.

I have attached a screenshot of the barcodes displayed by device

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lickawitch:
You'll need to use odin to reinstall your "bl" file out of the firmware files. You've wiped your bootloader. Once it has that it should be a fairly easy fix. Or just go with all of them, reeinstall the firmware entirely.

Hey everyone,

There is currently a good deal on the Google 6 Pro if I trade in my Note 20. But among other concerns I was wondering if there is a Super Slo-Mo mode on the Google Pixel 6 Pro.

Any other thoughts on the phone would be welcome to. Is it worth the change from my Note 20?

Thanks!

I did a quick test of the slow-motion feature at its slowest setting, 1/8x, and it looks like it only goes up to 240FPS.

[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rendon.kevin:
I have a POCO M3 on stock version, I haven't tried to root it or install any custom stuff, I was sleeping and when I woked up, my phone was constantly getting into recovery mode, I believe they can enter on recovery mode by mistake or something, just reboot to system and problem solved, but this wasn't the case, there's a message on red below all menus saying "NV Data is corrupted" and I can't do anything, I don't want to wipe data, I need to recover it, but if it is the only way to recover the phone, I'll do it.

Until now, I have tried:

- Booting into safe mode (it says MIUI for 2-3 secs and reboots)

- I've read on internet that flashing a stock rom via MiFlash could help, I get a "couldn't write on locked state or something like that")

- Tried to unlock bootloader with MiUnlock to flash the stock rom (it says that I have to set an option on Developer Options, but the phone can't boot, I can't access Developer Options)

- Also tried to flash modem with NON-HLOS.bin with fastboot (FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State), because my bootloader is locked I suppose...)

I don't know what to do, if someone can help, I'd really appreciate it, this is my last resource. (I could send it to a Xiaomi Service or something but here in my country there aren't any store or technical support available, only third-party "technicians", they almost always are a scam and charge ridiculous amounts of money and don't even diagnose the issue with the phone...)

I'm getting this error about once every 2 weeks.

There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-syncronise all items on your device. All changes made since your last successsful sync will be lost.

I understand that there are a lot of possible root causes for this problem, but what does it even mean and what is the proximate cause ? What steps should I take to diagnose this issue ?

I seem to get that error message when I sync to both my PC and my laptop. If I stick to just one there is no problem. It is very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Hi all, I am picking up a used Note 10+ 5G 512GB tomorrow, exynos. It's Australian so it should be N976B although I'll have to look at it to know for certain.

No warranty so no worries rooting it.

Rooting instructions seem to go back to 2019, is there a recent guide I can follow safely?

As far as ROMs go, I have tended to be happy on a cleaned-up stock ROM, but looking around here it seems like there are some good alternatives. Do you guys recommend Dr Ketan's ROM plus Tweaks Pro? I always find I need root to get a few things working just the way I want.

Also, for those rooted... any way of getting widevine L1 back? I'd like to have HD netflix on this phone if I possibly can.

I seriously considered buying a Note 20 Ultra or S21 Ultra or even a Pixel 6 Pro, but none of them really appeal to me. Plus I would have felt bad rooting any phone that expensive. My last Note was a Note 3 and it was always my favourite phone (it is still going strong as my 10yo son's phone, just on wifi). Since then I have been on a Huawei Mate 10 Pro but it's stuck on Android 8... I am hoping to get a good couple of years out of this Note 10+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Got it. Looks to be in great condition, it's N976B, 512GB as advertised. Always been in an otterbox, pretty much scratch and crack free.

No "OEM unlock" option, I hope/assume this is because it has just been factory reset. I guess it is probably a good thing for me to use it for a week without rooting it anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The OEM unlock option is hidden on my SM975U.

I used a phone keypad code to access it, then unlock with the code AT&T provided.

The other way to get it to pop up is enter a different sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Thanks, I will play around with it and see if I can get the option to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
My bad... carrier unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Well I am not sure if putting in the sim card made a difference but I have oem unlocking available now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I have 2 N10+'s, the oldest is still running on Android 9, the newest on 10.

Both are stock. I use package disabler and Karma Firewall to lock them down and disable bloatware. The run very good as such.

Normal SOT runs from 7-13%@ hr, and tap on AOD is >.5%@hr.

The oldest one is 27 months old with no repairs other than a battery*. It looks new with no detectable display degradation in spite of heavy usage. It's current OS load will be 2 yo in June, still fast and stable with minimum maintenance.

The Snapdragon variant is hard to root, and at this point it's not needed. The risk and time it would take to do it simply isn't worth it. Not using a stock rom would also cause the loss of some of the core functionality as will rooting it.

Knox is needed for Secure folder and Samsung Pass. No going back once you trip the Knox efuse... just saying. I would stay on Android 9 or 10 if possible.

The only thing these phones like to do more than face plant is corner hit when dropped. You'll need a good case. I use the Zizo Bolt. I use Gorilla IQ Sheild to protect the screen from scratches. The Bolt has soaked up to close to a dozens 2-4 foot drops onto concrete. Easy to hold, not very bulky, doesn't attract dirt and easy to clean. The case kick stand will break if used daily but that's it's only weakness.

Get a V30 rated SD card for it. You then will have a dual drive handheld PC😎 Use it as a data drive, store all critical data and everything you need to do a full reload here. Pickup some Buds+ or BudsPro for it. If you want higher bt sound quality get one the Sony LDAC buds or headphones. The Buds+ are great for calls and sound good with music especially using PowerAmp's EQ.

The Note 10+ is an exceptional Note. A drop dead gorgeous display who's color rendering exceeds most or all of the newest displays. The variable rate displays suffer a slight to moderate color rendering loss because of it, so far. The N10+ is Samsung's best flagship release in the last 2 years in my opinion... which is why I have two.

*replace battery once its capacity drops to 80% of its new capacity. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail. A failure can heavily damage to phone.

Any rear cover bulging is a failure. I was lucky it didn't damage my display when it failed. The battery isn't that hard or expensive to replace.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Thanks for that Blackhawk, I appreciate the replies.

Yep, now that I have OEM unlock available, I am asking myself if there's any point rooting. So I am going to just leave it for now, and use it for a bit, see what annoys me.

I will order a case, screen protector, and battery.

I agree, the screen on these is sensational and in some respects better than the newer devices have. I could have bought a Fold 3, 21 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro... I was looking at all of them and just concluded that none of them really knocked me out. In reading around I kept noticing that the Note 10+ has this dedicated fan base that doesn't want to upgrade and I can see why.

Really impressed. I got this for $450AUD aka $325USD. It is pretty much unmarked front and back, and the sides are a bit scuffed but pretty much just from having the otterbox case on I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You are welcome. That's a great deal, lol Otterbox's always mar the case. The Bolt makes it easy to hold and avoid accidental side touches.

Raised front display guards and cam guard. The type of case is important... look for those features.

Make sure you get the rear cover seal when you replace the battery. OEM batteries are made in Nam, not China. Maybe run Screen Test to see how the display has held up. Try not to go over 50% brightness for very long and avoid using in direct sunlight except maybe for a few seconds if really needed.

I would use it as is a while. Disabling OTA updates if it's running on Android 10, keep it there. Disable all power management as it's a know troublemaker. Set display mode to "optimized". See what you got and go from there.

You'll wuv the spen's bt shutter release and it's Smart Capture feature for those items you can't normally cut/paste.

Even after over 2 years this device is fun and a pleasure to use. Rock solid dependable. With it's nearly zero bezel, no rounded A+++ display corners and that crazy 7mm thinness there's nothing like it. I like the UI and the level of customization* available.

Even though it lacks the fastest processor and ram, it is the sum of it's parts and firmware/software which are excellent. It's sad that Google Android and Samsung have dropped the ball so badly that a 2 yo flagship be my first choice. However I'm not too busted up as I got what I want and it fulfills it's mission.

*Get One Handed Operation plus (Galaxy store) as it works well with the curved screen. Digi Clock (playstore) with it's quad hidden shortcut rectangles is a favorite too. And of course the Good Lock family of apps.

One UI

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
I'll second @blackhawk about rooting. It can cause more problems than it solves. Google has improved Android so much that the need to root to add capabilities is mostly redundant.

I have a Note 10+ 5G (Verizon) like blackhawk said, it's probably the best Samsung flagship in the past 2 to 3 years.

I'm currently using the Samsung OEM rugged case, but also have a couple Otterbox cases.

I'm running Android 11 and have no issues. I use Microsoft Launcher in lieu of OneUI 3.1 though. I'm more in to the Microsoft ecosystem than any other. Microsoft Launcher's integration with my Windows machines is pretty nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Does Android 11 interfere with SD card functionality or usability? Any annoying new system popups and/or permissions?

I noticed Android 10 killed Karma Firewall's valuable logging feature; it runs fine on 9.

I also noticed that Samsung added dozens maybe even a hundred or more small system apks in 10 vs 9, presumably to retain its UI appearance and functionality.

In Package Disabler they are easy to notice. Those apks I didn't touch. If fact my Q variant's setup is almost a carbon copy of my Pie variant.

That surprised me; easy set up! I literally used a backup export/import xlm copy of Package Disabler settings from the Pie variant to set up the Q variant. Only a couple new packages needed to be added.

Been wondering how Samsung handled 11 and 12. It's worrisome as the mods had to be time intensive for Samsung and Google's baseload is getting harder to mod as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
It doesn't interfere with SD Card functionality or usability. I have a 512GB Samsung EVO Pro card in it and it works perfectly fine. Even encrypted it doesn't have any problems.

I don't use package disablers either. Android 11 allows me to disable or uninstall most of the apps I don't use (i.e. Chrome, Samsung Email, etc. Mine is the Verizon variant and the bloatware isn't that bad. You can disable or uninstall most of the Verizon apps. Or not even install them (like Verizon Messages+).

I use Google Messages, so I got all of the RCS goodness.

The last time I rooted a phone was my Samsung Galaxy Nexus about 10 years ago. Since then I have had a Note 2, HTC M9 One, S8+, and Note 8. I had a couple Windows phones and an iPhone in that timeframe too.

I love my Samsung Pay. I've had far more success with it than Apple Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Thank you for that information. I will likely leave them running as they are though. No good enough reasons to upgrade either.

I have a AT&T and an unlocked U variant. Can't uninstall most of the bloatware plus there are hidden apks and services I want to kill so I use Package Disabler. Makes it easy to toggle ones I sometimes use on/off too. Useful for troubleshooting as well because it can completely clear the data in system apps leaving no null marks, which setting can't apparently do.

That saved me a reload.

I completely agree with you about rooting. There's a lot you can do with a stock Samsung and as such it's almost impossible to crash and burn. Even with insanely outdated firmware I've never had a serious malware breach with Android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
Well I have been setting this n10+ up throughout the day. Got a screen protector and basic case (just for now) and I swear it looks like brand new. Battery life looks so-so but initial set up does chew through power.

I am certain I am enjoying this just as much as, or actually more than, I would be enjoying using a brand new flagship that cost five times as much. I am almost tempted to buy a spare one!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yay! It's just a fun, snappy phone.

That's why I bought a backup (as well as my lack of confidence Samsung and Android will stop their ball dropping fest anytime soon🤣). A backup allows unhurried repairs as well.

They just keep going if you protect them from drops; excellent build quality. Protect from water too, I don't care what it's rated. Salt water especially.

If you aren't getting good battery life I can probably help you with that. At idle or browsing the web with Brave it shouldn't be running very warm in 75°F ambient temperatures.

The N10+ is fun to explore, it has many features and settings. Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Yeah the otter box would do that to the soft anodized frame of the Samsung, I found even silicon ( made from sand?) starts to cause abrasion marks after one or two days on the frame sides. Need a magnify loop to check, tried this test a few times from out of the box, sorry to go off subject HAHA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Otterbox's always mar the frame🤣😳

Was using teflon tape to protect the N10+ in the Bolt case but stopped as it's a pain to align the tape.

It's been a while now, last time I looked didn't see any damage. The Bolt's inner shell doesn't move around much. Depending what it looks like next time... maybe just occasional cleaning is all that's needed.

Not missing Otterbox one bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Yeah the ones I was referring are silicon, especially the two layered ones whereby the inner part is soft silicone and the outer part hard plastic. I believe the inner part rubs the color off over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The Otterbox that marred the hell out of my S4+ was just the opposite hard inner shell, silicon outer. What dirty pig of a case it was and way overpriced.

Guess no matter how they're designed Otterbox's just scratch and suck🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I learned the hard way with those hard inner otter box cases also. And now it wasn't because I didn't remove phone and clean it. $60 case to scratch the frame, never again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah cleaning doesn't stop the frame marring.

I think it's because the case doesn't firmly retain the phone and phone moves slightly about in the case. Seemed like a good idea, at first...😳

The silicon is just a miserably dirt, grease absorbing, staining mess.

The Bolt exterior rarely needs cleaning, the complete opposite. When it does need cleaning it's a snap. The interior lining needs ammonia water and a toothbrush though but I can live with that. It has a oleophobic/hydrophobic coating that probably causes cancer in California🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
So you seduced me into a Note 10+ and now you're coercing me towards one of those Zizo cases ? Issue is my grip, remember? :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The weak spot of many N10+ cases is the spen corner. This is its favorite drop strike point it seems. The Bolt protects it well. Beware of that weakness in many case designs.

It may not be perfect but close enough... it all I've used for over 2 years and it's sucked up some nasty free falls onto concrete.

Never comes off or apart in a drop. Had a few multiple impact drops too.
