[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] D01PH:
Hey, I bought a used unlocked S10 recently since my old phone couldn't do VoLTE. However, I am still unable to enable VoLTE, this is likely due to the fact that my carrier software is still VZW and I am running on an ATT reseller network. I have flashed my phone with two different unlocked ROMs (one from frija and one from sammobile) but my carrier services software version never changes... Is there something I'm missing? I am happy to provide any information that would help
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I've run into similar issues with some phones, and it doesn't seem to be software related. In my case, I needed TFN (Tracfone) and my phone switched over properly, but my wife's would not. I ended up returning that one (Ebay purchase) and getting one that was already TFN to fix the issue. I was simply not-able to get it to change. Note that my phone was SPR, and did change... while hers was VZW and would not... so maybe that has something to do with it?

I will also note that ATT tends to be very annoying to deal with, from what I've read. They seem to be sticklers for using only phones with THEIR IMEI. I've also read here that they refuse to run VOLTE on unlocked phones, in general. So that could be another issue you're going to have. My suggestion is to dump them, as they are getting to be quite awful from what I'm seeing (and I thought VZW was bad, which is why I dumped them for TFN! Of course, VZ bought TF anyway, so they keep pulling me back to them!)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bill720:
This is the place to brag about the longest amount of time you've ever gone without rebooting your Ten Plus. Proof is encouraged, but not required. I'll be rebooting today due to the inability to charge from the Samsung power supply (all others are fine) and to attempt to solve choppiness in playback from Music Choice and Shazam software.

My current uptime today is 2,927 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
I don't see the point of doing this. Especially when the system cache can't be cleared without rebooting. I reboot every 1-3 days.

A better mile marker be OS load lifespan. The current load on this heavily used Pie variant will be 2 yo in June. Still fast, stable with minimal maintenance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bill720:
It's arguably very useful for finding out which stock rom builds are the most stable, and for benchmarking the overall software quality of the device (and even Samsung as a whole). I used to have to reboot my Note 2 every several days because the MC2 stock rom lost its ability to do gravity-based screen rotation. It was infuriating, and part of the reason why I got rid of it. As far as OS "load lifespan," anybody can stay on any build for as long as they want, so I fail to see why this would be relevant.
[Oppo Realme 1  Questions & Answers] palukasuka:
Hello, I have installed AppBlock on my Realme 1 and don't remember password of strict mode on it. So I am trying to open safe mode on realme 1. But minus volume button method does not work. What is the correct way to enter safe mode on realme 1?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] old_fart:
I was just curious for the reason for that.

I am just trying to find the root apps that ( all the smart people agree ) are the best.

I had a big problem with trying to stop background apps from stealing cycles / battery.

Shame about Greenify. Shame about TiB. I am only using Titanium Backup Pro for its freeze and unfreeze.

SD Maid Pro is a 'big' winner ! Nice cleaner but then also a ( system ) app freezer and app remover. So I can say bye, bye to an old friend . . . TiB.

Wow. Help ! Anyone have a safe and sane list of 'system apps' that can be frozen / removed ? Looks like 50+ system apps and a lot have cryptic names.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
The easiest way to "freeze" a lot of "system apps" is to install an alternative and more minimalistic system. I recommend the security minded "GrapheneOS".

Generally speaking, and as an expert, I will tell you very simply that you DO NOT WANT ANY "root apps" unless there is absolutely no way to avoid them, and in this case, they absolutely MUST NOT be closed source programs installed from play store. EVERY ONE of those programs you have listed is a non-starter. Throw them all out.

Now of course, BACKUPS are a highly useful and reasonable use for root. You have your mind stuck on the untrustworthy closed source dinosaur "titanium backup". Delete that and install in its place "oandbackupX", which is open source, well maintained, and available from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.machiav3lli.backup/ -- and yes, it has the ability to disable packages as well. When you select a package, there is a button with a crossed-circle icon. That does the job you're looking for.

Some custom system images, grapheneos included, incorporate "seedvault" for making backups. Its not as powerful as oandbackupX, since it is forced to respect application manifest flags that indicate if an application is allowed to be backed up or not. It does, however, allow you to make your backup to a custom location (i.e., a Nextcloud server), but it doesn't give you the option to create a NON-encrypted backup (even if you back it up to a fully trusted location), which makes it more challenging to manipulate the backup if needed.

Personally, I use a combination of seedvault and oandbackupX. Seedvault for the regular automated backups, and oandbackupX for a few other packages that seedvault won't. Note that Seedvault does at least tell you the list of packages that it refuses to touch, so you know what to hit with oandbackupX.

Evening I've just picked up 10 Pro and has previously been reading about nfc tags, I'm after setting up one with turn on location /GPS and a few other for when I connect to my car. Do I have to be routed for that? Just wanted to ask before I set up too much on the new phone. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] TheHeisen:
So what realistically are the time frames on getting a new root and BL unlock for the snapdragon chipsets?

I ask since now the leak that happened means keys and other information are public.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sjevtic:
Here's the thing about real security that has been properly implemented: a source leak doesn't compromise the security of the system. Thus, there is no realistic time frame, because there is no guarantee that a source leak will even result in a bootloader unlock method. A source leak will give insight into how the system works, and it might even expose a vulnerability, but even if revealed, it doesn't mean it will translate into a practical bootloader unlock method.

Imagine for example this purely hypothetical speculation: the persistent state of the OEM unlock bit, in the steady partition or wherever it is stored, is not encrypted or protected by a secure hash. While such a hypothetical vulnerability represents an attack vector, it would likely still be problematic to activate, possibly even requiring direct physical access to the device's eMMC IC.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] FesterCluck:
I've seen said leak. If you're hoping for such access, I'd recommend disabling updates for a while. As far as phones are concerned, the leak goes deep. We're talking certs, signing apps, source code, even qualcomm source.

I dont imagine it will be long.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sjevtic:
There is a lot there for sure. That said, the Snapdragon (cinammon) bootloader trees seem a lot lighter than the Exynos (strawberry) bootloader trees.

On the Exynos side, "SATURN/bootloader/lib/sbl_security/ddi.c implements get_oem_unlock_val() which is called in a variety of places. I'm still trying to understand the relationship between the two instances of the OEM Unlock flag, that is FROM_RPMB vs. FROM_PERSISTENT. In the case of the latter, this seems to simply be stored in the clear as the last byte in the PERSISTENT partition, where 0 means locked, and 1 means unlocked. As such, it can probably be readily written via JTAG or directly to the eMMC in a matter analogous to how the PERSISTENT partition is deleted to clear FRP state in many YouTube videos, though admittedly these both require special tools and invasive physical access.

I assume there exists at least conceptually similar implementation on the Snapdragon side, but so far I have not found it.

@Badger50 if there is a better place for this development-oriented discussion please advise or move the thread as (a) there does not seem to be a lot of development-oriented discussion in this forum and (b) it is likely not very specific to S20 devices--it is likely to apply to many recent Samsung models.

QPR (S3B1.220218.004)

~180mb on my Pixel which was on 12L Beta 2

Is available OTA.

Will be posting back with any bugs found

Thanks Lughnasadh for clarifying this is not another 12L beta, just that 12L beta participants are rolled to the QPR program rather than stable

I am so confused now :) I though 12L beta ends with March. But yet another beta was pushed. :D

Will take time to understand this new pattern
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
Yeah it looks like this is not the final version. Mine is only 180 mb. The other pixels got over 300mb. But that could also be because some of the features are already on this device and now the other pixels are getting them.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
This kind of explains it. Basically 3 channels right now.

1. 12L/12.1 (Stable)

2. QPR Betas (Quarterly Platform Releases/Feature Drops)

3. Developer Previews for Android 13

Can you explain this beta feature drop to me? I'm on 12 now with 2nd Feb update. Do I ignore this or what? And I totally agree, this is not good news for us. The left hand doesn't know what...
[Google Pixel 6] a g bell:
Still not 100% sure myself yet 🫣l am on the same as you the second Feb update
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
They are basically just adding another channel so those who want to can test the Feature Drops before they are released. I assume they will be releasing monthly QPR Betas until the next one is stable (June).
[Google Pixel 6] hypermetuljason:
I went ahead and updated, has the March 5 security patches, so far no issues with WiFi.

Too early to say if battery is any worse/better (I got lucky with Feb 12L Beta 2, had no battery issues on that one)

This is 12.1 June. It should include the 12L code. The labeling is just confusing as hell. Google has made this impossible to figure out.

The Android beta program is basically rolling release for Pixels now.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
Yeah so now you can be on a beta build year round is what it looks like. But I was on beta 3 and got this new update this morning it was only 180mb. The other pixels got over 300mb. And my phone does not seem to have any of the feature drop stuff at all. I don't even have the new battery widget or the at a glance battery info. And it reports being on Android 12 not 12.1 so it seems like this new beta is just a baseline build. I do not see anything different at all. Not a thing. My cell.service.is.still atrocious at work but appears to be better at home so I don't know. I 5hinkni. Going to just unenroll in the beta program and see what they give me.

You don't need to uninstall Magisk when updating via flash-all. Just flash the factory image and then re-root by patching the new boot image and flashing that.

I really don't want beta software on my device. My bootloader is locked and I'm not inclined to unlock it. So this release is for those willing to perhaps wipe their device in the future to get a release/stable build?

Will the P6 series get the March update or is this in lieu of it? What a total mess they've made, I'm just so disappointed in them these days.
[Google Pixel 6] cammykool:
x2 worked for me too, rooted and passing safety net
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
This release is for those who want to test the QPRs/Feature Drops. It's stable for daily use (even Google says this), but if you don't want to unlock your bootloader I would just stay put in case something goes awry.

This QPR release is not in lieu of the regular March update. You will still get that at some point this month.

I actually like that they've made a new channel to test the QPRs/Feature Drops. I like options 😀

It might be slightly off topic but is clean flashing the same as factory reset? Or is there something that I'm missing?

Lol. Yeah I relocked it after messing with ProtonAosp and wiping and 12L and wiping..I can unlock it anytime but for now I'm stock.

So if you install the beta you are now off 12 and on 12.1?
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
*"Once you've flashed a Beta build to a supported Pixel device, you're automatically enrolled in over-the-air updates of all subsequent Beta builds through the final QPR release."--per Release Notes page.

However, if you dirty flashed you should not have been automatically enrolled. I dirty flashed via flash-all and am not enrolled in the OTA.

Please clarify, I don't understand.

Coming from 13 thoughts so far

1. Needed to do a full factory reset before it installed

2. Fixed weird over size display bug (used to hide the top and bottom of apps)

3. Fingerprint sensor seems to work slightly better (not really had an issue with it on all builds, 13 had the most 'fails')

4. Battery life is slightly worse on the QPR (however i've set Force Peak Refresh Rate, which i didn't before, so maybe unfair)

5. Generally smoother and quicker responsiveness than 13

6. Had to manually force Google Play Update twice & reboot twice until it updated to Feb 2022

Nope. Need 5.10.102 or later I believe and this one is 5.10.66. Kirisakura has added the fix to his latest 12L kernel, which is reportedly working on QPR3 Beta 1. Looks like he's working on a kernel for QPR3 Beta 1 though, so should be in there when he releases it.

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] fisleep:
A few months ago I bought a TV Box X88 Pro S 4GB RAM 128GB eMMC, Allwinner H616 CPU and Mali-G31 GPU. (e.g. TX6S / H40 / H96 Max / T95 / T98).

Despite an error here or there, it works perfectly. But I thought I could solve some errors if I reset to factory default.

Yes, I reset it, and some errors disappeared, the TV Box still works, however, I felt like changing the ROM, that's when I found out that after the reset, the recovery mode is now just a black screen. And I knew the mode worked normally before as I had already booted into this mode once.

As for the fastboot mode, I could only access it through recovery or through Magisk (the TV Box was rooted, in fact it was already like that and in the settings there was the option to enable or disable root, but this option no longer works since the reset also erased root.)

All my attempts:

(USB debug mode enabled and original ROM and also TX6S ROM)

1. Flash compatible firmware via USB. = Failed.

When connecting the TV Box to the computer and pressing the reset button on the AV input, the system did not install the device driver because it "didn't have a driver". Even searching the internet and installing what should be the correct driver, the TV Box was not recognized in "adb devices" or "fastboot devices".

2. Flash compatible firmware via SD CARD. = Failed.

The TV Box simply has the same black screen when trying to boot from recovery.

3. Flash a compatible firmware via WI-FI Debugging. = Failed.

TV Box doesn't even have that option in the "Developer Options".

Then that's it. Fortunately the TV Box still works normally. Don't know if you can consider it to be bricked. I was just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what I should do to flash a firmware on a TV Box that won't boot into recovery or fastboot. Although I'm already hopeless. Or maybe someone can tell me what process I did exactly right. I do not know.

Excuse my bad english, thanks.

Hey, I just bought an S7 Edge SM-G950U, the att&t version, SM-G950A. I heard some say that it's not possible to unlock its bootloader, but the OEM unlock option turned out to be available in developer options. However, I'm having a hard time properly installing its drivers, whichever adb driver I use, the driver still shows a yellow warning and the error is that the device can't be started. The device shows up with adb devices when the device is on, but it doesn't neither with fastboot devices nor adb devices when it's in download mode. I'm trying to install TWRP, the hero 2 version.
