[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Doghan13:
Hi, just posting here to say I've successfuly rooted my S21 FE 5G SM-G990B.

OEM Unlock was possible. Once it done, unlocked my bootloader.

Unpacked my firmware (boot.img is in the AP file), unpacked the boot.img.lz4 image with 7zip lz4.

Patched it on Magisk and placed the patched image with vbmeta.img extracted from zip.

Repacked patched boot.img and vbmeta.img in one file I named "root.tar" via 7zip.

Flashed in Odin on AP tab. Reboot, rooted.

I list here my steps because of much mistakes I've done, if it could help someone...

Thanks to contributors, you are the best.

PS : Tried with Heimdall before Odin, but no success. I'm not enough smart I guess.

Buongiorno,

voglio il mio telefono solo per registrare tutte le chiamate tramite Bluetooth Samsung Buds.

Ho alcune domande:

1) prima del modding devo resettare il telefono e fare un backup di tutti i dati e app?

2) Ho installato anche samsung pay, la sicurezza rimarrà la stessa o è meglio non usare più il telefono come carta di credito?

3) Ho Kaspersky antivirus, proteggerò il telefono come prima e funzionerà bene anche dopo il modding?

4) Scrivo dall'italia, la lingua dopo il modding rimarrà l'italiano?

5) Il mio telefono è ancora in garanzia, dopo il modding è possibile tornare al software originale?

Molte grazie in anticipo.

Cordiali saluti

So, buddy of mine has about 12 thousand devices in his house, smart TV's, phones, fuk'n toasters, all that. It's crazy. Everything is at defaults, except that he did change the password on his router that one time.

He's got ads in ads and everything is on, phoning home, scraping his life, serving up ads, everything.

I said - dood, wtf.

He asked, what?

You need the pi-hole, I said. Your LAN is sick. WTF, dood?

He laughed and said - have at it.

We talked about his LAN - and he had a device I could put "the" pi-hole on. All his stuff is Windows and whatnot, I'm not touching any of that. He whipped-out this little Dell, something, not quite a laptop. We sat down and I turned it on - 1/2 half hour later of pain and many WTF!?!?!?!?! the thing booted to a (usable?) state. I looked up at him and smiled and told him about John McAfee....

I asked how often they used this little device - he said never - I said, yeah, I'm nuking windows and will put the pi-hole on this...So, I did.

I chose MX Linux for it because I didn't want to work that hard, though I do geek-tf-out setting systems up, I didn't put Debian on it. In any case, MX is pretty sweet, Xfce4 is fine. What a night and day difference on it running MX as opposed to that hag windows setup that was on it, OMFG. You can use it now! You people that put up with that sh*t....

I told him, look, man - this is an appliance - don't even log into it because you will get sucked into all that functionality and awesome and lose your mind. Don't even log in!

I set the Pi-Hole up on it at my house and threw it into my LAN - wicked. So easy. I removed the pi-hole and broke MX, but, in a good way, in a way that I would know that it was a suitable OS for him, should he actually log in...I fixed it, then I set about to breaking it again. Was hard, actually. It's a good set-up. I played around with it for a while and ultimately reinstalled it and set about doing a little kung-fu to it. Not too much (I can't help it)

Wicked.

What a sweet little device this Dell is now. It's an Inspiron 11, 3000 series from the win 8.x days. Good enough specs for this purpose (appliance), 4GB of ram. It sits at around 113MB used when it boots and sits there with the pi-hole running and nobody logged in. Temp stays low, barely uses a trickle of power or CPU.

I may remove the display manager as it's not at all necessary. He can use init - if he boots the machine and it just rests at a black login prompt he will be less likely to log in and play around and subsequently fall in love with Linux and never get anything done. Or, he will get all the things done. Hmm....

If you're not using the pi-hole on your LAN and ublock origin in your browser then we can't be friends.

Hi. Help please fix my problem with wifi. Wifi is not turning on. This problem apeared after i flashed custom rom and after that i flashed stock miui rom. The roms was flashed with custom recovery (orange fox recovery).

Sorry for my English if i did some mistakes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ruizit0:
its hard to find ROMS in my language (PTG) ... i started to cook my own rom ... but i want to find a nice base rom without that all htc stuff ....

i used kaiserchef to clean it ... but it cleans some stuff i dont want ... and doesnt clean other stuff properly ...

how is the best way to clean a rom ... ? to stay with a base rom without that htc branded stuff ?

i want to stay just with the OS ... pure ... like m$crosoft released it ...

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Barreto:
HI!

I'm also portuguese, and I also tried to find decent PTG roms, but I couldn't find any good enough..

I'm also trying to cook my own rom, so I asked the experts how to do it.. And, I realized (as NotATreoFan told me) there isn't an easy way to clean a rom.. Is just trial and error.. Star deleting stuff you think aren't necessary or that you don't want, cook the rom and try to flash it..

I'm using our (PTG) official 3.28 HTC rom, and started deleting stuff.. I don't have much time now, but the last time I cooked and flashed (about 2 weeks ago), I realized I still have a long way to walk.. It booted with a lot of errors, so I guess I "over-deleted" lol

I use alex's kaiserkitchen..

Once I thought about dumping and rebuilding a clean rom cooked by a chef from here, so that I could see what files he deleted from the base folders, but haven't done it yet..

Let me know if you've made more improvments..

In portuguese: Desculpa lá escrever em ingles, mas acho q é melhor para o resto do psl daki poder ler e ir dando dicas tb.. Já sabes, qq coisa q tenhas descoberto ou q keiras perguntar, tás à vontade.. Não sou muito cromo, mas tenho lido algumas coisas e, como disse também tou a tentar limpar a rom de base.. Abraço!

hi barreto.. here happens the same... i cant make a 100% clean rom :| damn ... ill keep trying... i thinks is the only way lol :\

dlee69 your rom is WWE :\ .. we want in PTG (portugal) ... i already saw your rom .. is very nice... but WWE :\ ...

can you give us some hints how to make a good clean ?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dlee69:
Hi,

I created a script that will separate the MS file from HTC. However the registry I have to manually edit it in order to separate it. Try studying the ROM I created, most probably it will be exactly the same as yours except for the language and some other default apps installed by HTC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
this is where the learning comes in. There is no easy way to do it. You'll have to find what files belong to what program and delete it manually through the cooking kit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] LFGringo:
Hi mates! i was looking too, for one ROM in portuguese, the HTC retail is a bit poor,i´m usung the Hiperdragon III, its wonderful, but in english, in the beginning, my idea was translate the ROM, but its too difficult for me... at the end, the version on english or portuguese, only depends the point of view... :D

If you make one ROM in the Camões language, i tried for sure...:)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ruizit0:
im trying to make a script based on the cleaning script of KaiserChef ... for now have some bugs .. . i think is because some dependency files for some stuff... ill try to clean it more that i can ... and then ill share it ...

the big problem i have.. is i dont know ALL the files and stuff in the rom ... some files i dont know what they do :\

like thomassster says.. its the learning process lol

No news? I'm stuck with the ONLY crappy shipped PTG rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] b16b:
the most easy way to delete the programs is:

download "Wince cab manager" is not free..

with this you can edit or create cabs..

ok see my tip now.. you want to delete the HTC Dialer.. from the rom..

find the same dialer in cab.. you open it with wince and find what file including in this cab.. so you delete the same file from your rom.. ;)

this one easy way to begin ;)

I hope to help you bros ;)

Nice rom, goodjob!

The battery performance is good!

Could pixysos team add more gesture to free finger pressing on device button, please?

Because fingers do not need to press on button and the palm muscle can be more comfortable. So I think these feature is important.

double tap status bar to sleep feature is a good idea for free finger press on power button.

And any other gesture feature to call volume panel can also total free the finger force on power and volume button.

Hi, your rom looks very good.

sorry to bother you but i'm not having success anywhere else, i have a whyred that previously had crdroid, was thinking in updating to pixysOS but ended up trying ElixirOs and now Derpfest but i'm having problems.

the bloody phone most of the time only connects H+, but can't use data connection to access internet because the browser says it doesn't have a connection... Wifi and calls work good so i'm guessing it's a modem bands problem...

What modem bands u using on PixysOS? Global?

If i flash (yet again) my whyred with your rom, will it work first time or do i need to flash some modem firmware so i can use it?

if i do, can u provide it to me? that would be great...

tks in advanced.
