[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etspam:
Hi all-

History of issue - wife & I upgraded phones, but we kept our old Samsung S6 phones for kids to use in school. These are SM-G920V (Verizon phones), but we had switched to T-mobile network. Son's S6 went fritzy - started freezing, randomly reloading, black screen w/flashing blue light until battery ran out, etc. It could boot, but wouldn't stay up. I think some update corrupted memory or something. I tried to factory reset it to get it back to beginning state, but was NOT aware I needed to remove the Samsung account associated with the phone. I'm not even sure I could have, it wouldn't stay up long enough w/o freezing or black screen. Regardless, factory reset didn't work, as when it booted, it eventually had the dead android show up. So I went online, found info about how to flash the phone with the correct Verizon file using Odin to download it, and now it boots android 7.0. However, then I hit the Samsung reactivation lock. It asks for an account/password, which I have, but it won't validate or go to the next step.

I talked to T-mobile tech support, and according to them, it's due to it being originally a Verizon phone on an account that is now deactivated since we switched to T-mobile. They can't do anything, but gave me contacts to 3rd party vendors that could fix/flash it if I could prove I originally bought it. As I used to be w/Verizon, I should be able to find the activation docs of the phone and provide proof, but the "fix" will probably cost upwards of 70+ (maybe closer to $100) for an old S6, which may or may not have as much life left to it. If I'm spending that much $$, I might as well get a cheaper new phone.

However, I'd rather not spend the $$ if I can help it, so am trying to figure out how to fix/flash this and remove the Samsung reactivation lock myself. My understanding is I need some sort of combo file that I can download using Odin, and that there's a process by which you can remove it that way. However, I can't seem to find the combo file for SM-G920V, and am not entirely sure of the steps. I've tried the emergency call method I saw online, but besides having a nice conversation with the 911 folks, I didn't see any of the buttons that the videos specified, maybe because it's android 7.0.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to get rid of this, so I can salvage the phone for son's use? I've read some of the XDA forums, but haven't been able to figure out the right steps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
I have SM-G998W XAC, Currently on BMC. I used *#272*IMEI# to switch my CSC to RWC because One UI 4.1 just came out on Rogers. I just wanted to see if my Bell SIM will still work on RWC. And now my phone is telling me that the CSC is RWC as expected, but it's detecting the Bell SIM which is good, however, it won't let me do anything, it's stuck on this forced notification telling me I have to wipe my phone because the CSC/SIM is changed.

What in the actual hell is this? I switch CSC and suddenly the phone wants to delete everything? Can't even switch SIM's now and the phone forcefully wants to format?!

I can't even backup the phone now because of this. I can only hit Emergency call, and then quickly go back, which gives me a brief 10 seconds of use before the Notification wall pops up and blocks all user input.

I tried doing this over and over in 10 second intervals to get to the backup screen and start the back up. But once the notification comes up, it pauses the damn back up on me lol.

Samsung is getting kind of brutal with this Apple tendency forced update behaviors. I have to format my phone just to use a different CSC/SIM. Ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that this is XAC, and on setup, it forcefully installs all of the Carrier bloat apps as soon as a SIM is installed. So now there's no point buying direct from Samsung, unless it's specifically for a limited colour only. You get bloat apps no matter what on One UI 4.0/4.1.

/rant

Anyway, does anyone know how to remove whatever it is causing this notification using ADB? Cause as long as it's not there, the phone works fine, can access whatever like normal, and I still have fully working 5G. I just need this savage notification to stop coming up, and I'll still be able to switch CSC or SIM at free will like I should be able to with my own damn phone instead of forcefully being told I need to erase all data just to use a different carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] omek07:
The procedure with the imei you need to wipe the phone in order to work correct . Why did you change the CSC with this way and you did not flash the rom with ODIN ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zeeshee:
Are you able to get 4.1 by this methog? i am on telus but no update yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zeeshee:
I just used an old Rogers Sim which was deactivated and immediately got the update.

After update I just popped in my telus sim

No data was erased.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] richhaynes:
I dont know why your ranting when you've done something to your own phone that is clearly something you shouldn't do as just an experiment. Even then, any experiment begins with a full backup. No ifs, no buts. Your rant is on the basis that it wants to factory reset which I am yet to see a guide on CSC that DOESNT warn you about this. The only person to be angry at is yourself I'm afraid.

You clearly have some idea about CSC to do what you've done so far but you have also failed to understand the full extent of what CSC is and its implications for changing it. Its primary function is if you change country but countries like the US have carrier specific CSCs too. When you change it, it updates various things to ensure the device is compliant with that countries regulations such as changing how the modem operates (which frequencies to use). These are low-level adjustments which need a factory reset to work correctly. You say 5G works but that is because you've gone from one carrier CSC to another that happens to use the same infrastructure. Thats just being lucky. This wouldn't necessarily be the case if you changed your CSC to another country. An example is if you use a UK CSC. Because we don't use mmWave over here the UK CSC will switch off that part of the modem. Your modem would still get 5G but never mmWave 5G. As far as the phone is concerned, the CSC change means your in a different country even though your not but thats because of how CSC has been hijacked by networks for something it was never designed to do.

I will say this though. The fact its letting you boot your phone and asking you to reset is something new to me. CSC changes I've done before have reset the phone immediately which would make it too late to do anything.

The moral of this story is two-fold. Firstly, check, check and check again that you know what it is your doing. A lot of people read guides that say doing X will result in Y but dont realise that it will also cause Z (or ignore Z) because they're too focused on making Y happen. Secondly, don't experiment on your daily driver and certainly not without any backups beforehand. I know no solution that won't reset your phone any way so I think you're resolved to resetting it and learning a valuable lesson.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] 54V174R:
Hi folks

1)Asking how do I install the Magisk modules now, without the repo?

2)Are the Audio compatibility patch, viper, etc. mods/patchs still working?

Currently with

RQ3A.210905.001

PixelBlaster_3.0_miatoll-11.0-20210908-1526-OFFICIAL

Installed in my Redmi 9S, Magisk Root installed OC, and OrangeFox recovery, I think it's the latest version.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Hsjaai:
As a general guideline, restrain from using outdated software. Not only doing so isn't formally endorsed, but it also seems to break functionality or, in extreme cases, be the underlying cause of a bootloop.

1) The vast majority of modules are readily available from Github. As for now, your only option is to install them from storage.

2) Nothing suggests otherwise. I've had no issues whatsoever with Dolby Atmos. That being said, if I were you I'd create a backup - you can’t be too careful.

I must say after playing with a G1 for a couple weeks now, getting gmail/contacts/calendar sync straight out of the box is really quite nice, and the interface is a real breath of fresh air for high-end devices.

However Android is still missing some key features (that I personally need) -- and not just whimsical "Hello world!" apps -- so like most other people I'll be waiting a few more software revisions/releases before I jump ship. But I am looking forward to it!

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlinz:
You can already install a gimped version of Android on most WM phones..in fact it was possible several months ago. Someone pieced together a beta build using the Android-SDK. You install it in windows mobile and then choose to run it over WM. It isn't worth it though...not until someone takes the source and codes something specific to the X1 and even then it probably won't be great since the X1 can't do Multi-Touch like the OS is supposedly intended for either.

Just like others have said, the OS is still in rough shape. It would need quite a bit of work to get it going properly on an X1 and even then you would be limited.. However given a recent "leak" of info from MS it seem we should be expecting a WM6.5 upgrade in the comming months before WM7's launch that will give a better experience to users with touch screen phones. This likely means a better looking layout that is easier to navigate by finger.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxical:
well this is a cool thing, but just for playing around, you cant work on a day to day base with that yet i bet.

Are there even drivers for the SD Card, Bluetooth, GPS, Camera and all that stuff done yet for other HTC phones running Android? Without all of that working its quite useless, on the other hand its important that some people get into it but as a enduser i wouldnt put any hopes in that.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sony Ericsson Indonesia:
well from what i understand the way you put android on htc devices it runs ontop of winmo so you can play around with it and when ur bored or whatever you can just switch back to windows mobile instead of android.. isnt a bad thing to try out imho..

right now im semi bored and trying out the polaris/kaiser/vouge files... the polaris one doesnt work.. gonna try others..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlinz:
Both actually. The OS has to have support for it, but the screen needs to be able to register more than 1 simultaneous touch. You could technically use a few different types of screens for Multi-Touch, but most used today (Resistive) aren't that great and won't work as well when processing multiple inputs. The iphone, G1 use Capacitive touch screen thats offer a high level clarity and make recognition for a multi-touch enviroment a lot better.

The basic differenence recognition. Resistive, such as that used in most HTC devices (including the X1) has 2 layers with a gap inbetween and works off pressure. When you press on the screen, the "gap" shortends and the screen below pinpoints the pressed area from that, which isn't that great if you touch multiple locations the ability for the lower screen to recognize the location of the press will diminish because not only does the gap shorten there, but it also shorten in the distance between the to points. Other ways are to use tons of little cameras around screen, like the MS Surface, but that isn't that great either, specifically on a smaller screen size.

Hi ARAN!

wow that's geat work :D

Is the bootsplash implemented in the kernel or is done by haret?

It may also be interesting if the patches had all been pushed back to the msm-kernel at linuxtogo. Would be nice anyway!

I saw that dcordes had tweaked some sources in this 'official' tree.

Think i start some compile runs the next days. Hopefully will find some time for the wifi part too :rolleyes:
