[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moku160:
Hi.

In short I am asking someone who was the T-mobile firmware if they can extract the T-mobile unlock app. I am hoping I can use the unlock app without the need to reflash my phone to the T-mobile firmware.

Long story.

I thought my wife's phone was unlocked succesfully and flashed the unlocked firmware over the T-mobile firmware. Weeks later come to find out it's not actually unlocked we were just using a MVNO that is on T-mobile antenna... which I should have known. Really want to avoid making my wife setup a bunch of stuff again, even after backing up and restoring so looking for some help.

Is anyone able to extract the unlock app, or have a better way of backing up and restoring without the need for root?

TIA

Thanks for the response, but installing all the ones I found online say that my device is incompatible.

Which makes sense, the ones online are all ancient.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dadmi:
What message are you receiving when you insert Non TMobile or MVNO sim?

AFAIK, you will need TMobile firmware for unlock to work. Newer TMobile phones don't have a dedicated unlock app. It is baked in connection settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moku160:
Was afraid of that. It asks for an unlock code. Will probably have to just bite the bullet and flash back to the TMobile firmware.

Maybe flashing with Home_CSC will work and still allow me to keep my wifes settings intact.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dadmi:
Worth giving a shot with Home_CSC. Also Samsung backup works very well except Samsung Pay/Google Pay which you have to set again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moku160:
Ill probably try it tonight. As far as Samsung backup, did you mean smart switch? All the apps, contacts, photos come over but many apps still require setting up again 😢 Regardless thanks for the comments!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] entropism:
New T-Mobile devices don't use the unlock app anymore. Device unlock requests are done through connection settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moku160:
Ended up flashing back to T-mobile firmware using Home_CSC instead of CSC and I was able to successfully unlock as well as keep my wifes settings...

But i tried flashing back to unlocked firmware using Home_CSC and couldn't boot. Said user data was corrupt. I tried 4 times without any difference. Luckily I was able to flash back to T-mobile firmware again with Home_CSC and it worked fine

This may be common knowledge I wasnt aware of but it appears:

Unlocked firmware + Home_CSC -> Carrier Firmware is ok

BUT carrier firmware + Home_CSC -> Unlocked Firmware is not

Thanks to anyone to commented and read.

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
No, it should be available from all devices in

general working order

. Clearly something else was going on with yours.

It ain't broke (now). So leave it be. But...I would definitely use NookManager to make a backup. You don't have to root in order to do that (I think).

The differences are subtle, but since you've flashed the UK version now, the point is moot. The opening screen on the US version is the Welcome screen. The opening screen on the UK version is the Language picker, followed by the Welcome screen. Alas, I didn't pay that much attention to any differences in the Welcome screens between the two versions so your attached images don't ring any bells.

In the UK version the dictionary is the Oxford English and the Settings app is a little more expansive, including a dictionary management section (which does not work). Also, the locale or language picker is not fixed on "US English".

I have never heard anything like this, but as they say, anything is possible (though I doubt this one).

Wow. You've been on quite a ride! I'm glad if anything I put together was helpful. Again, I strongly suggest a backup. It's possible there is a hardware fault in the device that caused it to run a factory re-image. If that happens again, a backup to restore would be handy.
[Nook Touch General] the.sting:
Thanks, nmyshkin! Your posts were incredibly helpful in navigating my way through this.

It sounds like I must have had a US version previously. I have a fuzzy memory that I may have had the language picker the first time I found my Nook in the initialization sequence, but at that point I was just trying to get through it to use the device again, so I wasn't paying that much attention. But every subsequent time that I factory reset it, it went straight to the welcome screen.

I'm actually currently running the US firmware; I flashed the US image that comes with the Nook Region Changer package rather than the custom UK one that you put together. The custom UK one was the next thing I was going to try, but the device allowed me to register after the flash and subsequent update, so I never got there.

I did run a backup using the clockworkmod tools in Nook Region Changer prior to making that flash, which resulted in several files being generated on the SD card (see attached image -- the times are wrong, but the files with "Today" timestamps are presumably the ones generated by the backup). I'll make sure to perform another backup now that things are working. Would you suggest I use NookManager rather than clockworkmod?

I still have no idea why I was never able to get the Factory button to appear, but it sounds like the "Skip Oobe" workaround has its downsides anyway, so I'll stick with what's working now.

Thanks again!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
It has been said, but I cannot verify, that the CWM backups are not "complete". They are certainly better than nothing. The NookManager backup is a single file "image". That's the not-too-impressive extent of my knowledge on that score. I have used CWM backups to restore other devices before, so I might just be all wet on this topic.

I actually had a thought about that after my post. I've never used the hardware buttons for page turns. Never saw the sense. I have them assigned to various other functions but don't use them often. So I could be caught off-guard if, for example, one of them just decided not to work any more.....like the upper right one? Just a thought, but it's probably too easy!
[Nook Touch General] the.sting:
Good to know, I'll look into making a NookManager backup.

I hadn't considered this, as I also barely use the hardware buttons on the sides. But you seem to be spot on...I just checked, and the top right button is the only one of the four that isn't working for page turns either! Sometimes the simplest explanations turn out to be right.

Thanks again!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
You can use UsbMode.apk (in the sig) to check the action of physical buttons (or USB or Bluetooth).

I don't use WiFi, I use a little utility to sync the time whenever I sync content over USB.

Such a utility is dependant on the exact syntax of the date command and the ability to directly get a # prompt without using "su".
[Nook Touch General] the.sting:
In light of the fact that my top right page turn button doesn't work, do you have any thoughts on the NookManager backup process? Unfortunately, "Format remaining space on SD card" (which seems to be a precursor to making a backup) is selected by that top right button.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I should have seen that coming :)

I've been here before with another member, different button, same general issue. That time it was NookManager-1, nmyshkin-0.

The device has 6 hardware buttons. Whether it will recognize input from the remaining two with the instruction set that is loaded at boot remains to be seen. I've got a busy day, but it's the kind of busy that will allow my mind to wander. I'll see what turns up. Try not to have a device meltdown today. ;)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, this time around the little grey cells have triumphed!

Do you know about ADB? If not, this will not do you much good, although it's fairly easy to install a minimal ADB package on a Windows machine (if you have one).

Anyway.....

It's possible to synthesize a button press using ADB,

and

NookManager gives you the option to start up ADB before you do much of anything else. Except there is a catch. The button that starts WiFi so you can connect with ADB is---you guessed it---also your dead button.

Not to worry. The left buttons are unused on that menu screen and I can easily alter that menu for you. All you would need to do is replace the file on the card with the altered one.

Then once WiFi is started, you have the option to start ADB (a left button) and are given the IP address to connect to.

The ADB command for sending a press of your non-working button is:

adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 407 1

(those are zeroes--both of them)

This would enable you to access the entire NookManager menu system (if the need ever arose), including the backup and restore functions. You just need to send that code each time you should press that dead button.

But you'd need ADB to do it.

Let me know if you want to pursue it. If this seems like too much for too little, keep your CWM backup safe somewhere. As I said before, I've used them to restore other devices.
[Nook Touch General] the.sting:
Wow, thank you so much for putting the thought into this! I haven't worked with ADB, though it's something I would definitely be interested in investigating (I like to tinker). That said, I'm stretched a little thin to really dive in at the moment...getting married soon and otherwise a bit swamped with work.

I'll definitely save the CWM backup for now. Can I ping you here again if I'm interested in working on this later?

Thanks again!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Absolutely. Congratulations on your approaching wedding!
[Touch HD General] obstler:
hi,

a small but very annoying issue: I copied several folders with pictures into the sd card, but when viewing them through the built in picture viewer the photos are sorted in reverse chronological order: it always starts with the newest pictures and ends with the oldest, whereas I want it to display oldest first. having it in reverse order makes absolutely no sense for showing a slideshow etc, but I couldn't find any option to change that.

anyone have any ideas?

Hi XDA Forum,

I am attempting to Flash an S20 FE 5G using Odin and Stock ROM. I am trying to do a completely fresh install with Nand Erase and Re-Partition like I have done on Previous Samsung Phones before but there is no PIT File inside the CSC or HOME_CSC Tar Files to do this. All I can see are prism_base.map, prism.map, optics_base.map and optics.map inside the CSC file and there is no .pit extension file. How would I go about doing this?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] per5io1:
Hi!

I'm trying to find a way to update my clt-l29 c432 p20 pro from 9.0.0.286, i've removed root and i have wiped the phone, yet i am still not able to get an update.

The update app on my phone says i am running the latest version, same with eRecovery and hisuite.

Links for firmwares using hisuite proxy seemed to be dead, however i've managed to get the files i needed from here: https://www.needromarab.com/49598/CLT-L29-10-0-0-161-C432-BY-NEEDROMARAB

Hisuite proxy has an option for using local files, but it refuses to enable in the settings of the software and just crashes the program. (running as admin)

I've tried 3 different versions of hisuite proxy, but i am having the same issue.

My bootloader is unlocked, so i've thought about using HuRUpdater from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-manual-update-p20-pro-with-hurupdater-and-twrp.3816283/

but i'm a bit unsure if i've got the right files to use with it.

Any ideas?

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] zubblwump:
I bought a used Pixel 4a 5G in February and immediately rooted with no issues. A few weeks ago, I took the March OTA update and lost root. Since then, I can connect the phone to a PC via USB cable, and the phone flashes to show it's charging, but no USB preferences notification and nothing shows up on the PC. I've tried 3 different PCs and many cables, including two new Google Pixel cables. I've tried cleaning out the port. I've even factory reset the phone but nothing changes.

So I have several questions, and I'm hoping one of the bright people in here can help.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

Is there anyway to use wireless ADB without first establishing an USB connection?

Is there any way to flash a modified boot image without ADB/fastboot or root?

Is there any way to boot to the inactive slot without root or USB connection so I could use Magisk to flash to inactive slot instead.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a way of being able to type sms in landscape mode as a default.

i.e. if i choose to type an sms the phone switches to landscape until it's sent and then flips back to portrait.

I prefer typing in landscape but so far i have had to map the hardware key to rotate the screen and have to press this before typing an sms

Just wondering if there is a more elegant method.

TIA
[Touch GSM General] TruPlaya187:
Hi,

I was wondering if you have found an answer for that. I'm looking to be able to do that too. Please let me know. So far, I was looking into the registry cause I guessed that we just create a key or something and it would work..or maybe not...and I have found two values for the Camera within the registry so I am sure that it would be possible to do that for the SMS and Browser as well.

I will keep on searching and let you know.
[Touch GSM General] unforseenenemy:
Work Around

I know this isn't the ideal way of doing it. But until someone smart enough figures out the registry entry for this idea...you can youse wisbar advanced 3, it has a setting that lets you set certain programs to rotate... hope this helps until someone figures it out!
[Touch GSM General] TruPlaya187:
Thanks I have tried that but I didn't like it. The app took over all my settings and I would prefer just to add or change a reg key then to install another software.

Thanks again and hope to have the perfect solution for that one day...:)

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Skiskipowski:
Hello everyone!

Is it just me who is really bothered that the display of new messages is constantly overlaid by the default digital clock? A new message comes in an instantly the default digital clock is shown instead of the message. The message is blurred in the background and can only be seen by tapping the display. For what reason do I have a smartwatch that shows me messages, wenn all I can see is alwyas the default clock?

There was the silent hope that this would be fixed after the firmware update, but it's still really annoying and sometimes only makes the clock usable to a very limited extent :-(

AOD and activation with wrist movement is active ... still I often have to tap the display or press the home button to get a proper display again. Annoying when I´m out with the dog and have always to use the hand that holds the leash to see the messages.

I have this happen when running Google Maps. I find it much more convenient (and safer) to glance at the directions on my wrist without having to use the phone.

Hey,

I unlocked my p8 lite's ALE-l21 bootloader 1 or 2 years ago and everything was fine, but since this morning it's been rebooting constantly, just showing the huawei logo then rebooting.

I thought I'd access the recovery mode but I can't apparently, I can access the fastboot mode but can't do anything there. adb doesn't work either (I get the "no device found" message). Also probably important info I flashed TWRP as the recovery tool when I first rooted my phone. I also have a custom ROM.

Are you running the official WSA, or the Google Play store hack? If the latter, I recommend uninstalling it, because it installed malware on your system.

A Windows 11 tool to enable the Google Play Store was actually malware

There are a few ways to install the Google Play Store on Windows 11, but it turns out that one tool actually brought malware as well.

As far as accessing your Surface Go's resources like SD cards and hard drive. I don't think that is available yet.
