[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jult:
Yes, I realize the Note 9 is now an old smartphone, but still, Samsung themselves are still releasing stock firmware updates and patches for these models. The most recent ones being from January 2022.

Is there a particular reason, besides just the effort to actually update a ROM and upload/share the file again, why there is still not one Exynos ROM available which includes the most recent Samsung stock firmware and security updates? I've often just updated single files from the system root because of that, and thus far this always seems to work out fine. Rarely are the security updates/patched files in the way of the global functionality of a ROM release. So I was just wondering;

What am I missing here?

I really don't want to re-release ROMs that are originally created by others, with the latest patches included, and then give it a new name. I tried that once, with Dr Ketan, and this didn't really land well. I had no bad intentions, I was just being impatient regarding the updates, and wanted to share my work. This goes to show how much github should be the way to go for entire ROM release code. Make it open, so people can just push and contribute changes, no matter what. My impression is that development for ROMs is often 'stalled' purely because of ego of some of the people working on them. This is not good for security. There are reasons stock roms allow OTA updates/patches.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] trilandun:
I Searched the forum but could not find an answer. I have been out of the ROM game for a few years. I know what I did was ill advised, please be merciful :)

I bought a Verizon Pixel 6 Pro off of Facebook. I knew to check that the IMEI was not on the stolen list and verified that it was paid off, but I get en error when I put my Visible Sim card in the phone. It says "Sim card isn't supported. Ask Verizon if this device can be unlocked."

View attachment 5539587

I called Verizon and the rep said that if I wait 60 days from the phone's original activation it should unlock automatically even though I don't have Verizon Service. The Rep said that I could use this device on Verizon Prepaid or regular service, but I have $5 months for referrals on Visible, that I would lose if I switched.

The Rep also said that you can request an unlock since the phone was paid off and IMEI was clear, but that I could not because in their system I was not the phone's owner. They could not tell me the date when the phone was activated because it would be a privacy issue.

I tried to work it out with the person I bought the phone from to get them to request the unlock, but got ghosted.

Questions:

1.) Does anyone know if it is true that my phone will unlock after 60 days without Verizon Service?

2.) If I put the phone on Verizon PrePaid service for 60 days, would that count as service and get it unlocked?

3.) If I activate on Verizon Prepaid or activate on no contract post paid will it take the last owner of the phone off of their "record" at Verizon so I can just request that the carrier lock be removed myself?

Thank you!

PS Once I get this figured out I will post what happened for anyone else that might run into this in the future.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As far as I was aware, all Verizon phones are carrier (erroneously called SIM) unlocked from the start. I've been away from Verizon for 5+ years, though, so that might've changed.

Note that just as has been said multiple times in multiple threads in this section (and every other possible phone section), that carrier unlock won't be the same as bootloader unlock, which will be impossible except by winning some kind of rare bootloader lottery, per se. (effectively never).

It's possible you don't want to unlock the bootloader since you only mention carrier unlocking, but I just wanted to head that part off just in case that's where you end up leading the conversation, so forgive me if I'm mistaken. :D

Hopefully, someone else with modern experience with Verizon can answer your two specific questions, however.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] trilandun:
Having ROM'ed lots of phones years ago, it was my first though to be able to change it by modifying the bootloader and/or firmware. I quickly ruled that out with the search feature before posting. (bummer)

I do appreciate you pointing this out to keep this thread on track. I witnessed some of the other disasters in my searching.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] daniel_tychanow:
Yeah it’s true Verizon locks their phone for 60 days to their network and then unlocks it automatically. I’m not exactly sure if the device has to be continuously active though to be unlocked but I know that it had to be activated and used on their network to start the timer.

What you can try doing is to use online unlock services like drsim and try to get in unlocked with imei number. It’s not free but it might be worth it if you don’t wanna wait.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Is the 60 day unlock based on network checks? Or is it something really stupid like based on the system DATE? Might be worth trying to set the clock ahead and see if that fixes it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] trilandun:
I'm not sure if its based on network checks or something else. I did try to set the date ahead (2 months and a few days out) and it gave me the same message with the Visible sim card.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] trilandun:
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try a couple unlock services, and they say they can't do it when I enter my info.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] billycar11:
so what happened here i have the same issue but i got it from google and they mistakenly sent me the Verizon model

in my case the phone is new
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmarden:
You don't want a Verizon version... return it and get what you meant to get.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] billycar11:
Yeah it sucks about the locked bootloader and junk but google won't exchange it for me even though the order say unlocked and I have this.

Because it's past 15 days.

Anyway I had to call vzw like 50 time only to be told 49 times if I don't have an account we can't help you bye. It took 7 hours of calling.

I finally got them to give me a complementary esim to unlock it and now it's ok
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmarden:
That's ridiculous... they don't have a choice, 15 days or not unless you are not saying something relevant to the story.

If you ordered A and they shipped B... they have to fix it. Dispute the charge with your credit card company if needed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SKlamm:
Did you ever figure this out? I bought a used s22+, checked with 4 different Verizon reps and they said they phone is unlocked. But of course I cant use it on another network (have tried on MintMobile which is Tmobile now). It just says "this phone cant be activated on another network"
[HTC Excalibur] darkfinger:
I've had my Dash for close to 2 years now and I really like it. I'm using Ricky's ROMset and found that a huge improvement.

Despite this, I feel the need to upgrade to get 3G data speed and be able to use my phone in Japan when I visit. It feels weird to be using old hardware but I've tried a bunch of new phones and always come back to the Dash. In order:

S710/Vox - didn't like the keyboard and the "cursor" was on the wrong side for me

Touch Dual - no WiFi and no full keyboard

Pantech Duo - nice enough, but no wifi and I didn't like the keyboard feel.

Nokia E71 - it surprised me after thinking WinMo was a difficult experience to go to this new Nokia phone and find the s/w to be a complete disaster! Great h/w design though - just about perfect.

Palm Pro - nice enough but I was surprised to find that WinMo Professional was a pain - much harder to use than Standard

HP iPaq 910 - just pathetic - terrible keyboard, lots of bugs, and WinMo Professional

Samsung Omnia - a disaster - terrible UI buggy hardware

I've also tried the iPhone - which is great - but I really want to stick to a device with a keyboard.

So, all of this leads me to ask about what device can possibly be an upgrade from my beloved Dash. What better place to ask but on this Forum of Excalibur lovers?

So, here's my ideal phone:

Must have:

1. Full keyboard like the Dash - no sliders

2. Quad band GSM

3. Tri-band UMTS

4. WiFi

5. Windows Mobile Standard - or at the very least a high focus on usability with one hand without resorting to the ridiculous stylus.

6. Charging and connection to PC via mini-USB, no special cables

7. GPS

8. Good camera 3M or greater

9. Display that works in bright sunlight

Nice to have

10. Scrolling dial on the side like Blackberry

11. Big battery

12. Led for camera

13. Video cam on front

14. Wifi on/off button

Does such a phone exist? I doubt it! To many companies chasing iPhone UI and doing a terrible job of it, and forgetting the basics.

Interested in your thoughts on this. BTW, I don't want to go Blackberry because key apps are not available for them.

Thanks,

D
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
what about the g1? has a few of your required features.
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
possibly blackjack III (AT&T though) should be rumored to be coming out soon.

Sadly, you're asking for too robust of a machine. maybe one of the blackberrys has all that but i dont follow them.
[HTC Excalibur] chefgon:
Palm Treo Pro? I'm not greatly familiar with its specs but it looks pretty solid, might be worth checking out.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I do not recommend the G1, I prefer the dash over the G1 because its sorta boring now the G1... However, I really like the 3G feature on the G1...
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
i've only read/heard reviews. not actually had one in my hand. i think the potential is amazing. i'll most likely be in the market for a phone in september, hopefully there's a new version by then.
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
Samsung Epix?
[HTC Excalibur] darkfinger:
Thanks for all the replies.

Samsung Blackjack III is a WinMo Professional phone, which in my opinion is an inferior OS from the usability standpoint.

I tried the Palm Treo Pro and returned it. Nice device but WinMo professional. It had almost everything I wanted though.

G1 is a big keyboard slider and there are likely much better Android phones coming along.

Haven't heard of the Samsung Epix...will check it out (Edit: Ok, looks like this is just the Blackjack III).

I am leaning towards checking out the old HTC Cavalier too. While I ignored it because of bad review before, it turns out there is a WinMo 6.1 cooked ROM available. This will give me a Dash experience, but with tri-band 3G and a faster processor.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:

I am waiting until Feb-March for the Android phones coming out. The G2 should be coming out around that time. It will be the HTC Touch HD w/Android. Should be sweet. IF you have a little more patience, wait for the nuvifone or nuvifone w/android :).
[HTC Excalibur] pr0cl1v1ty:
lol the g2 bro? no......

u think there actually going to come out with a g2 less then a year after the g1? there not even done updating the bugs....

I THINK you should get the HTC Fuze A.K.A. touch pro

att phone but unlockable *like mine* for tmobile

The new g2 phone??

Comments and rumors about a g2 already in the works a floating all over the web, the're also saying that they will be getting rid of the slide full querty key board but this was the only thing that I found with pics of an actual device called the dream/g2 phone, if it's true or not , that's up to time to say, cause eventually we'll see if an official announcement is made.

check it out. http://www.wikio.com/article/85876255
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
lol, I don't think that will be the official g2. Looks like a chinese rip-off with android. And its absolutely nothing like the touch hd, like mentioned earlier. Nice find though:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] AliBear:
I have a Samsung SM T-505 which I have been developing/testing on Scalefusion MDM and stupidly removed it from MDM, forgetting it was PIN locked.

Now the PIN is not accepted, the recovery menu doesn't even show factory reset and I cant use ADB or ODIN as USB debugging is not enabled.

Is there any way to reset this tablet? I CAN get it into sideload mode, but attempting to load a stock rom just gave a certificate error.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I've got a HTC Hermes running Schaps 4.31 ROM. Everything was working fine until I install the latest version of Wefi. After it was installed, it slowed down my Hermes so I uninstalled it last night (and it's speed increased straight away).

Now I can't connect to the internet via usb when it's connected to my laptop. Instead it will always use my 3g connection. I've deleted the pairing, soft reset it, and set it back up again. I've also unticked the "enable advanced network functionality" setting and this has made no difference.

I've done various searches and am now at a dead end. I could do a hard reset but don't really want to if there's an easy fix for it.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
[General Topics] spike1969:
Don't worry. After reading loads more it seems I'm not the only one to have issues after uninstalling wefi. I've taken the oppertunity to put the new manila2d rom and so far everythings working again.
[General Topics] sfdteam:
What ActiveSync version do you have? At first uninstall your current ActiveSync if it's older that 4.5, then download ActiveSync 4.5. Reboot the PC and soft-reset the device. Then connect them, setup and see if it helps.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] VelosterM14:
Hi everyone,

Have 2 H918's that are currently running LineageOS official 17.1 with TWRP (3.5.0-9 I believe, fairly current).

It is not a great option but until we can come up with better idea (like, another phone that we could root and run LOS 18.1 on that supports VoLTE and VoWIFI) -- due to the shutdown of older-gen tower support we need to return our phones back to a stock or modded stock ROM that we can do 4G calling with. Where we live now the older-gen 3G/H+ etc tower performance that calls always downshift to is very poor anyway.

I know I could LGUP back to 10P stock etc but would rather not have to do all the re-root work again if I don't have to. I already have TWRP on LAF and Recovery. Couldn't I just flash a modded stock ROM KDZ or zip? Maybe one with the laf and recovery partitions stripped out? (and is it possible to create such a thing with a tool?)

I tried flashing dimm0k's 10U pre-rooted from TWRP but I get stuck in boot loop after and had to restore LOS17.1 install from TWRP backup (which I am quite glad I made hehe).

From reading it looks like maybe the LOS 17.1 install modifies the partitions in some way that isn't compatible? I saw KDZ Writer app/util script and some mention about this, and v1.98a release of it having a new cmdline switch that could maybe rewrite that partition table to fix issues from LOS install, but I am not sure if that's what I am running into or not and am a bit hesitant to try.

Does anybody know of a way I could get back to a Nougat 10P-10U series stockish release without having to go the full unroot / reroot route?

Any advice welcome. I shouldn't need hand holding really, have been rooting phones (as needed, I'm not a guru) for years etc. -- just looking to avoid some of the hassle of having to do it all from scratch if I don't have to.

If somebody knows, for example (and not saying this is a method, this is hypothetical) - "full wipe, then flash dimm0k 10U from TWRP, followed by install mk2000 kernel, magisk, permissiver and DONE" or something like that, thats good enough for me.

Thanks,

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] goldensun1893:
Hey folks I spent some time working on this yesterday (dumping Rom, Patching etc) so I thought I'd share. I am including the files I used to get this work.

This is for 100003562 Walmart Onn Tablet

I can't comment on other Onn models because I don't have any.

If your tablet goes into meltdown mode, I'm not responsible. I'm sharing the process that worked for me.

*These files are from:

*Android 11, Security Update 5AUG21 --> They probably won't work with any other version so I can't answer questions related to using them for that.

I don't recommend you try these on any other model unless you do it at you own risk.

*Strangely enough, this update doesn't have any of the Walmart apps installed or the bottom button on the taskbar. It asks if you want to install them when you are setting up the tablet*

I chose no. ;)

Steps:

1. Enable USB Debugging, (while in Dev Options go to OEM Unlocking a tick that, (don't know if 100% necessary but I did it in my process)

and fire up a CMD or Powershell Window.

2. ADB:

adb devices (to make sure you are connected)

adb reboot bootloader

~boots to bootloader~

3. FASTBOOT

fastboot devices (to make sure you are connected)

(WARNING: the next command will factory reset the tablet)

fastboot flashing unlock

(follow volume key prompt to unlock and then device will reboot and bootloader is unlocked.)

You will see "orange state" as it boots if it worked properly. I don't have any interest in removing this message so you'll have to go elsewhere if you do.

4. Repeat steps 1-2 and get back into bootloader.

FASTBOOT:

fastboot devices

fastboot flash vbmeta <path to vbmeta.img>

fastboot flash boot <path to migisk patched.img>

fastboot reboot

5. Done

Notes:

I use Magisk Manager to do a direct install patch after I get root. (also don't know if 100% necessary, but it makes me feel better)

I'm including the stock boot.img in case you want to create your own patch with Magisk Manager. I used 24.1 (24100)

I'll answer what I can if you run into issues.

Cheers!
