[Realme GT] nvhung0099:
Hi, the only way is to use msmtool for the specific realme gt 5g, and you need to paid someone acctually have the privilege to login to realme server, as far as i tried, its the only way to unbrick.

I have a Vodafone branded X1 which I'm using with my T-Mobile sim. I have gone into the registry and unlocked the default connections (My ISP and WEB) and changed them to work with T-Mobile.

Opera, panels, IE and comm manager connect fine.

Messaging (Email), Windows Live, and Messenger all say they cannot connect (It doesn't even look like they try and connect)

It appears they have been set to only work with Vodafone's default settings, is there anywhere i can modify to make these work?
[XPERIA X1 General] eyebeebe:
when you edited WEB and My ISP did you untick the connect to internet via proxy option? but leave this connection connects to internet checked

hotmail etc is working on my phone and the only changes i've made are the ones i gave you on the other thread, except I'm on o2.
[XPERIA X1 General] hutchy69:
Yep, I did all that and I still get problems, the message I get from Windows Live is "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."

It doesn't even try to use the My ISP or WEB connections before it shows that message.
[XPERIA X1 General] daniel.eriksson:
...

i had a similiar problem where only opera connected and not msn.

I removed all connections completely (do not only edit them) and restart and recreate.

then it started to work again..
[XPERIA X1 General] hutchy69:
ried removing all the connections completely and I still get the same issues with mail and messenger.

It looks to me like they aren't even trying to look for, or establish a connection before throwing the error
[XPERIA X1 General] eyebeebe:
that's exactly how it looked to me, when I was trying to fix it last night. then it all fell into place. it almost looked like it new it wasn't going to work and couldn't be bothered trying! I think the last thing I did was disable connecting by proxy on the WEB connection.

I promise you it is something wrong with your settings and not with Live or Messaging.
[XPERIA X1 General] hutchy69:
I've tried everything I think I can with the connection settings, can you list your settings please eyebeebe?
[XPERIA X1 General] eyebeebe:
I assume you're using these settings:

GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk

Gateway (IP) address :149.254.1.10 (alt: 149.254.201.132)

Username : user (alt: wapuser)

Password: wap

Session type: Continuous / permanent

Port number: 8080 (alt: 9201)

Authentication: Normal

Is your Artemis on T-mobile? Can you mirror it's settings? For example you made need to connect via proxy and enter the Gateway IP address as above if you haven't already.

If you've done that already send me a PM and we can go through my settings on MSN...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] sandman255:
I have service thru straight talk off of ATT Towers. My phone is a US996 which is supposedly completely "carrier neutral".

Just now got a text from Straight Talk that unless I got a new SIM( huh??) from them, my service will cease on Feb 22.

The question is..... Is this true??

I do have the option of switching to Verizon since the US996 has the bands to do either AT&T OR Verizon.

Any help appreciated. BTW, the rom is stock..... version 10F Unlock BJ TWRP Installed and rooted using SuperSu.

I don't think a phone company can arbitrary change your number. That may be a valid FCC complaint and also may violate the state laws.

I would file complaints if applicable. As far as I know that number is "yours" unless you fail to make payments or voluntarily abandon it.

I transferred my Verizon number to AT&T over 10 years ago. Same number for a quarter of a century...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] metsfan89:
Has anyone been able to test this yet? Do instagram stories and pictures still look bad when using this Samsung device. I know there were ramblings about social media app optimization for the camera but it has really died down recently. Anyone have input on this or tried out the phone with Instagram Tik tok and twitter.? Thanks in advance!

I want to know this too. I have seen some obscure videos on YT showing this, but i don't trust them.. I remember on my Huawei P20 pro snapchat activated the different zoom-cameras/lenses while zooming.. I've missed it since..

[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
So, this is the first time I'm installing a custom rom and I was following along with this guy:

(I found the xda steps to be too confusing to follow) and everything was going just fine until around the 5.20 min mark where after flashing TWERP on the device through Odin I was supposed to press the volume - & the power key to restart the device and as soon as the device went black I was supposed to then press volume + & the power key which I did but then I got this: (attachment)

(btw, even when I don't press the volume + & power key afterwards I get the same result)

Can this still be fixed or have I bricked my device?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Hi @Winter413

I found a wonderful description on the installation of TWRP here .... maybe it's easier to follow though it's for the 8.

Just read the whole story .... your troubles while installing TWRP are not at all new.

It's a kind of trick which you learn as soon as you want to root your phone, or want a good user friendly recovery backup app.

[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Hi @xabu

First I'd like to greatly apologise you for answering so late. I did not mean to be rude I just didn't want to reply with "ok, I'll be working on it than" & I actually wanted to get something done first. I decided to do things that way becouse I thought that I'll find some time to do this rather soon however unexpected things happened that kept me from doing it but now I have some time & have done something in this regard so enough of my excuses let's get to what I did & what I want to ask you about:

So first I went onto the s8 thread you suggested & I flashed vbmeta_disabled & to my suprise when I restarted again & pressed volume up + power it actually booted into TWRP "and relief washed over me in an awesome wave" but then I went on to get lineage os on it and it doesn't show up in TWRP. I have also gotten some other stuff (magisk & a few files from NanoDroid) & those show up just fine. I got the file from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-16.x/

& the link I got from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-gsi-guide-lineage-os-a10-a105f.4078093/

& as far as I'm concerned that is the only thread about lineage os on this phone on xda so that doesn't work I guess.

I have also tried this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4w6vaq4lu2tbjfj/lineage-17.0-20200110-UNOFFICIAL.zip/file

& this: https://mega.nz/file/gw4QTYSS#IqqswGusWIW5l10LyvSfmtVUoE4gqn6_g6jywH96Z5Q

& got this:

(I've done these sequentially but I hope that doesn't make any functional difference however one important thing is the first one goes 'till the first "done" and the second one is the rest. You surely could figure that out by yourself but I wrote this just for clarity's sake.)
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
P.S. I know that both of the error messages I got seem to refer in one way or another to the fact that I'm not using an sd card for this operation, however as far as I'm concerned it should also be possible to install lineage os to the internal storage of the phone & that is what I want to achieve with this.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
P.S. 2

I forgot to mention that I obviously wiped everything properly before trying to install lineage os so that's not the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Hi Winter ❄️,

it's important to check if you found the right version of TWRP:

Samsung Galaxy A10

Disclaimer:Team Win strives to provide a quality product. However, it is your decision to install our software on your device. Team Win takes no ...

twrp.me

every other version might get you in trouble.

And then: there is still no official LineageOS for the A10 (this gives problems too)

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-gsi-guide-lineage-os-a10-a105f.4078093/post-82196787

should be the place to be, though there is not too much activity there ...

but look at this thread too:

https://xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-a10-roms-kernels-recoveries-ot.8704/

with many good ideas.

Whatever:

I learned that LineageOS should be installed before other additions like Magisk and G-apps. Do this from internal storage and not from an external sd-card.

In TWRP we always make a Zip queue before installing but always starting with the OS or ROM.

You should be successful now you experienced how to install TWRP.

Always check for the right version or ask in the threads.

Thanks for coming back to me though I just wanted to help you

with installing TWRP and I don't have a A10 at my disposal.

Sincerely @xabu

Ps: I saw that you had courage enough to experiment. Be careful but go for it. 🌷
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Hi @xabu

So as I mention I made it work by flashing this file through odin while in dowload mode & then restarting & pressing the volume up + power buttons which was supposed to take me to twrp & it did & twrp for me seems to be working just fine so I'm a little hesitant to try & install some different version of it but if you think that's the issue than I will try installing those other versions.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
As soon as you are in TWRP and it functions fine, then just look to it's version and go to the link which I gave you for the newest version of TWRP for the A10.

"

If you intend to root your (a10) device, be advised that Magisk will be installed to the recovery partition, not the usual boot partition. Both TWRP and Magisk-rooted Android boot using the recovery kernel, with the device's hardware keys used to choose between TWRP and Android at boot time.

You are therefore strongly advised to first root your device with Magisk and then pre-root a TWRP image before flashing it to recovery. The usual path of installing TWRP prior to rooting is problematic on this device, because the Magisk installer does not support installation to recovery from TWRP. Furthermore, prior rooting of the device with Magisk carries the significant advantage of disabling various device protection mechanisms that you will otherwise need to take care of manually."

In this website the instructions about flashing TWRP to your device goes further .... so try to understand it step by step.

If you want to install Magisk, then you should know that from some weeks ago, Magisk started a complete new life with new important instructions: look here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/post-86320323

As you can see .... there is a lot to do and to learn.

Hope you'll enjoy it like your

"and relief washed over me in an awesome wave"

no one could have said it better 🌷.

PS:

Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled will render your device unable to boot.

is especially for your kind of device and certainly not in general.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Alright, so I checked my twrp version with your link & I have the latest one so everything is fine. I also got lineage os 18.1 & it seems to have installed just fine. So now it's time for Magisk. So first I'm also kinda following this guide:

& Wolfgang recommends to not only install the .zip file but also Magisk manager & I couldn't find any link to download it.

"The usual path of installing TWRP prior to rooting is problematic on this device, because the Magisk installer does not support installation to recovery from TWRP" so does that mean that I have to go back to the download mode & from there flash the root file in odin & then install magisk.apk like here?:

2. flash root file:

enter download mode ( see instructions above here )

flash the file in Odin ( choose PDA, select the file and the start )

3. install magisk:

install magisk.apk (download link above here > and then follow the instructions in the app (the app will ask once for reboot).

Also, If you're curious, the "and relief washed over me in an awesome wave" is an almost direct quote (I only changed "washes" to "washed") from my favourite movie - American Psycho.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
@xabu

If you liked my previous post, does that mean that I should do the steps I mentioned?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Dearest @Winter413 ....

No, this does not mean that you should do the steps mentioned.

Again read the instructions on the official TWRP where they help you with Magisk. You can always upgrade the moment all works.

I'm not familiar enough with your device. All is working here on the S7.

A complete different device as I noticed while studying your situation.

My like also shows my admiration for your courage to root your phone and try out how to go further and further. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Ps: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v24.1
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
What about Magisk Manager? Do I need that?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
And also this :

2. flash root file:

enter download mode ( see instructions above here )

flash the file in Odin ( choose PDA, select the file and the start )

3. install magisk:

install magisk.apk (download link above here > and then follow the instructions in the app (the app will ask once for reboot).

Is from this:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-gsi-guide-lineage-os-a10-a105f.4078093/#post-82196787

So that's why I asked where or not I should back off to the download screen and flash the root.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Yes you need the new Magisk manager. If you want a rooted phone.

But as I told you....Magisk is changed maybe a month ago .... this means totally new instructions ... so keep this in mind while working with older instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
And also regarding the root - If I've gone this far than I might as well go further & attain some more control over my device & also learn a bit about how computers work along the way. This is definitely not the last project of this kind that I'll be doing. I'm already running Pop os on my main computer instead of windows (however I did use windows for this whole process as Odin is unfortunately unavailable for linux). For now I'm also very very slowly learning javascript (I'll try to pick up the pace cuz it's really bad) & once I buy myself a new computer I'll try installing arch on it & using that as my daily driver & yeah, further carrer routes in IT & such are definitely also something that I'll be looking into so while pretty inconmpetent I'm not afraid to play around with computers.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Alright than. If everything is different about Magisk now than I will definitely look into how to properly install both Magisk.zip & Magisk Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
So I must admit I haven't looked to much into rooting yet & it seems that It is not required to install a custom rom, however this sounds pretty cool:

Advantages of rooting include the possibility for complete control over the look and feel of the device. As a superuser has access to the device's system files, all aspects of the operating system can be customized with the only real limitation being the level of coding expertise. mmediately expectable advantages of rooted devices include the following:

1. Support for theming, allowing everything to be visually changed from the color of the battery icon to the boot animation that appears while the device is booting, and more.

2. Full control of the kernel, which, for example, allows overclocking and underclocking the CPU and GPU.

3. Full application control, including the ability to fully backup, restore, or batch-edit applications, or to remove bloatware that comes pre-installed on some phones.

4. Custom automated system-level processes through the use of third-party applications.

5. Ability to install software (such as Xposed, Magisk, SuperSU, BusyBox, etc.) that allows additional levels of control on a rooted device or management of root access.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
❄️ Yes learn about the denylist and Zygisk ! ❄️
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
So from my understanding currently the steps left are:

1. installing Magisk.zip & Magisk Manager

2. Installing NanoDroid

3. & perhaps locking my bootloader afterwards to make my device more secure? (I think that's something that should be done but correct me If I'm wrong)

& then I can finally start using my phone on Lineage os, right?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Again ... you know more about your device and Rom than I do.

Don't be humble about that. And don't be in a hurry .... it took me weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
I see. Thankfully I have an old iPhone 6s as my current phone that this one will be an upgrade for (it works fine however the battery is pretty cooked & now that I became a convert & am a believer of free & open-source I think this will be my last Apple device). I'll be sure to spend a lot of time on studying how all this works becouse now it is more than ever important as I'm entering the realm of rooting which (from my limited understanding) is a realm you REALLY don't wanna be entering If you don't know what you're doing, so thanks for all the help so far. I couldn't have gotten as far as I am right now without it & yeah, If I'll encounter any more roadblocks along the way (which I most certainly will) I'll make sure to contact you first before I'll do anything stupid.

[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Hi @xabu

First of all, I wasn't notified about your message until I came back here & as I was rather busy recently, I have only seen it now. So now that I did - Does your use of the word "old" imply that you have an old computer or your previous computer? becouse If you are currently using this as your main setup than that's quite amusing indeed.

Alright, so now to the meat of the actual message. So I know that I wrote that I wouldn't do anything stupid before asking you about it but something has possessed me to try this on my own as I actually did read quite a bit about magisk already. So, the new installation instructions say to install magisk via an app on android but since I've already wiped my whole system I figured I'll go the old route. However after I flashed & rebooted I got the usual warning message & then I expected to boot into lineage os or twrp but instead now I'm recieving nothing. I can still restart my phone though & I've managed to boot into download mode once although for some reason I can't replicate that now. So I guess If I actually managed to get into download mode then I should flash twrp all over again & now my question is - Can I use lineage os without magisk? Becouse then I guess I could just download the app there & do it the proper way becouse either way even If I didn't do all that I did, I don't think there is an option for me to install magisk properly or at all without having some kind of an os on my device. Also, If you have any idea why I can't enter the download mode anymore than I would be glad to hear it. Sorry for being reckless however I'm pretty sure It can still be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] xabu:
Hi Winter,

LineageOS is a wonderful alternative for stock Roms ... but

you must be sure to find it for your device. Every device needs its own approach and if you find a LineageOS for your device you can ofcourse install it without Magisk .... Magisk is only needed if you want a rooted device with some extra interesting modules.

Then, normally the apps won't detect (if you wish) that the device is rooted.

Enjoy your adventure !
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
Alright I guess I should word it diffrently. So now I can't enter download mode via turning of my phone & pressing & holding the volume buttons & plugging in my phone. I can still restart my phone by pressing power + volume down however that doesn't really provide me with much utility now, does it? & like I know it's still working becouse as I wrote above I've managed to get into it once by pressing diffrent button combinations but I can't seem to be able to replicate that anymore. So, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
I'm pretty sure that If I managed to get back to download mode than I could actually repeat the whole process of flashing everything & now I would just go straight to lineage os & from there install magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Winter413:
@xabu

Could I hope for anything or should I keep trying to blindly stumble upon the solution?

Because your device is not at my disposal, it's impossible to reproduce your troubles .... This makes understanding extremely dfficult. If I were you .... search in the threads of your device. You should find a treasure of info there.

Hi @xabu

I let the phone run down it's battery & then managed to get back to download mode & then to twrp & I flashed lineage os again & rebooted but it didn't go to lineage os instead it's just at the bootloader unlocked thingy for a little bit & then it turns off & if you restart it, it does the same thing again. Is that a broader issue or is it also device specific?

P.S. The version of lineage os is for my device & I downloaded it from a link on a thread about lineage os on this device so that shouldn't be the issue.
