[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirtle27:
I downloaded the oneplus 10.44? boot.img and patched it using Magisk. I then proceeded to flash it to my device using adb/fastboot.

I installed lsposed and some modules, root was working fine. The only thing I was worried about was the constant bootloops anytime I would restart my phone.

Yesterday, my phone's audio stopped working altogether. It seems like my device is stuck in vibration mode? Anyways, at the same time, I started getting this message: "the version of the google play services installed on this device is not authentic". I checked my root again and as it turns out I have no root access even though everything worked fine just as few hours earlier. Any ideas what might have happened?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirtle27:
I reflashed the patch and after 20 minutes of bootlooping my device is on again. SU works perfectly fine, passes basic safetynet check, still no audio, 3.5mm doesn't register anything, mic picks up no sound, background image doesn't wanna stay on.

Youtube videos play but don't have sound, all other videos behave as shown below:

Hi newbie here i want to know if how do i custom rom my Samsung a02s?? Guide me
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Quentincc:
Hi,

I'm looking into buying a S21 Ultra or S21+ Live Demo unit for multimedia use only, the seller told me there is no software support since may 2021, is it possible to flash the rom of a "normal" variant to get the latest update ?

Thanks you a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Quentincc:
bump please
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Demo units are not for sale, therefore almost always illegally obtained. Expect no support.

My advise is to stay away from demo units.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Quentincc:
Standard international, up to date rom, can be flashed using odin on these device :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] emirefek:
Expect some issues. If you are looking for multimedia, remember when you do any unofficial mods to any Samsung phone. You will lose HD Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.etc. Unofficial mods dumps Google's Widevine keys. If it's not very cheap then normal S21U stay away from it. If it's like half price, It looks like a deal.

But as myself, if I was planning to buy demo unit I probably choose OnePlus or Xiaomi because they are more easily modable.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tangcla:
Is this based on actual experience for an S21 live demo unit?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] STKO74:
once you learn the ups and downs of flashing, you will realize alot s possible.. live demos should be no exception.

just about every samsung i believe is mod -able- in some fashion

and just remeber if it powers on.. its not completely bricked. samsungs are stout

Happy Flashing and GL M8
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tangcla:
Except, you can't enable OEM unlock on the device, and the download mode screen is totally different to the standard S21...

Theory and practice are different. So I guess your response is not first hand experience?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] STKO74:
You are correct as far as a live demo model to which ive yet to try and mod. but lord knows i have been flashing my litttle heart away ever since the first TMO Galaxy preloaded with avatar lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tangcla:
So have I, but apparently the LDUs are totally different from what limited info I've found.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Quentincc:
There is only a few limitation like some benchmark that can't be installed, you can't connect to Samsung account but overall is very well usable, I guess I could go more in depth in rom flashing, rooting and so on but I don't really care right now

It can be OEM unlocked, I have the warning message at each boot that my bootloader is unlocked.

Also, I don't think it can OTA update, it's running the april update and it says that no update is available.

iFixit and Google are Launching a Genuine Pixel Parts Program | iFixit News

We’re delighted to announce that we are working with Google to sell genuine parts for Pixel phones, starting later this year. You can learn more about it in…

This means that Google joined the growing list of companies that - at least officially - care for the Right to Repair. Since the EU is about to pass legislation (will still take a certain amount of time until it comes into effect) that will force companies to simplify battery removal, and other sustainability changes, this change of heart doesn't come as a surprise. But it's still ofc nice to see companies acting without immediate pressure.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
This is a very good thing and about time, my only concern is the parts will all be sold with a hefty profit and therefore will not be very attractive to most people given you could bugger the phone up completely trying to repair it.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Kinglordfluffy:
Hey everyone!

I've come into a somewhat complicated situation. Somebody close to me gave their password away to their email account. Very bad idea. Lost access to his phone and went out to buy a new one. Unfortunately this man logs into the same compromised email on the new phone. In between logging in on the second phone and now, the person he gave the info to has changed the passwords on his accounts and he can no longer get into his device.

What I want to know is if I flash a stock rom back onto the phone, does this bypass the "unauthorized reset" that requires a sign in on the old account? I was fairly sure it would be fine until I opened ODIN and it told me that not having the old password could cause problems. As of right now I can't find a way onto this phone. It hasn't even had the plastic peeled off yet and I can't find a way to get into the device.

A bit of a dire situation, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] picapicopica:
Hello everyone,

I seek this forum for help to rescue/recover photos from my S21 (G991B)

I unlocked OEM, flashed patched AP + Magisk root.

Happily lived for couple of months until I updated Magisk to the newest version which dropped MagiskHide support.

And here comes my past idiotic version of me who uninstalled Magisk without backing up data first.

I quickly ended up in bootloop, with "unathorized device" in adb. I wiped cache and Dalvik cache.

So I decided to flash twrp-3.6.0_11-4_afaneh92-o1s.tar recovery with vbmeta_disabled_R.tar and then run multidisabler twice.

I was happy that adb worked, only to find out few minutes later that the sdcard is encrypted. I could not access my data, but at least I managed to do low level backup of userdata partition:

adb pull dev/block/sda34 userdata.backup

So I decided to flash stock ROM. I used Frija to download SM-G991B_2_20220309104450_uns6t6aual_fac.zip and flashed BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC. With "Re-Partition" unchecked

This got me from G991BXXU3AUF6 to G991BXXU3BUK8

However bootloop persist. The stock recovery says "E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)".

Now I'm getting a little bit desperate to rescue my precious data.

Do you know any other tricks, guys?

If I do full data wipe and/or clean flash of stock image with "re-partition" enabled and then flash twrp recovery and try adb push dev/block/sda34 from my userdata backup or simply writing userdata as raw image to an external microSD card and attaching it to the phone, do I get my data back in unencrypted form?

Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
What do you mean by "uninstalled Magisk"? Did you uninstall the app or did you flash the stock AP? If it is the latter, you could flash the patched Magisk AP on Odin and it should boot again

Decrypting the /data partition from an encrypted state is something that is not easy and I'm not sure if it is possible at all. The easiest way would be to get the device running again in the currently encrypted state

EDIT: So I think you've removed any encryption key by using the multidisabler I assume? 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] picapicopica:
Within the Magisk app I clicked on “Uninstall Magisk“ --> “Complete Uninstall”. Then it ended up in bootloop.

Reg. multidisabler - not sure if that's the case. I thought hardware wrapped keys are used for full disk encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
Not sure to be honest. I would try to flash the whole firmware via Odin, use the Magisk patched AP and use Home_CSC to see if it still boots

EDIT: I think all Magisk does is to flash the stock boot.img upon uninstallation. But the device doesn't boot if you unroot. I assume that flashing the modified boot.img (which is inside the Magisk patched AP) could fix it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] picapicopica:
Okay, I'll try to patch the AP on another phone (Honor 8). I hope it doesn't matter. I will Install Magisk app, copy AP to sdcard and patch the AP with magisk, pull the file and flash it on S21 like you said. I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
It works as long as both devices share the same architecture (e. g. arm64-v8a). Otherwise patching in the Magisk app will probably fail. Other than that patching on another device will work :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] picapicopica:
That worked like a charm. Thank you so much for saving my data (mostly family photos and dickpics)

For anyone attempting to dirty flash, make sure you use HOME_CSC from the same firmware you have on the phone and if not, then download same U3 or U4 version (G991BXXU3....) using Frija's manual option. If you use U4 over U3, then you risk having user data wipe anyways.

[Introductions] CKavanagh:
I just received a Samsung4 smartwatch and am looking for more apps not available on Google Play! Primarily Social Media apps and Facebook Messenger. LOL. That's where I chat from and those contacts are not in the other message apps - Google Android Messages, Samsung Messages (which is best to use?) I am here to learn how to download the apps listed on this site. I have some IT experience (IT Systems Technician for 16 years/IT Systems Analyst 2 years) but haven't tinkered with a smartwatch. I did brick a phone back in the day so I'm a little scared to mess with my brand-new watch! I did install the Moviebox APK (Kpanda?) on my smartphone, but it didn't require any other software. I already opened Developer Tools - ADB - Debug over WIFI (the IP starts with 10) From what I understand, I have to make changes in Device Manager for the phone, install APK software programs to my laptop (are these free or do I have to pay for it?), download the apps I want from your catalogue and install to the watch? I will watch the videos and follow along! And there is no risk of damaging my watch, like maybe I select something wrong and wipe it out or brick it?
[Introductions] CKavanagh:
Unfortunately, I don't have a correct IP address - Debug over WIFI shows 10.0.0.194, therefore, I cannot proceed with downloading APKs from Uptodown from either Bugjaeger or Easy Fire Tools. I am connected to Wi-Fi and not getting a 192. IP. There is no notification request sent to a device. When I click continue it says "Authorization Failed". Is there another setting I need to change?

Update: I figured it out. My old internet provider used to begin with 192 but this one starts with 10. Then when I click on the file that I want to install I have to click a prompt on the watch to allow it. All good!

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
What exactly is a "sticky 'display over other apps' notification"?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Miss Gray:
I have been searching for reviews on EMUI 12 and I'm so happy I found this one. I'm using a Mate 20 Pro. I think EMUI 12's Control Panel is rubbish. I can't stand the fact that there is a music player "widget" there that doesn't even link to my default player, and when my bluetooth is on, the icon is too big so the "h" at the end of the word "Bluetooth" goes onto the next line which (as a designer) I think looks horrific. Then, to touch on the split betwen the notifications and the ctrl panel... As someone with small hands, this is impossible to navigate with one hand. I really hope that Huawei listens to the rants I have been posting all over and reverts some of these annoyances back to their perfectly functional predecessors... So other than these complaints, the UI is fine... It looks pretty but it needs inprovement.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Sounds good!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
'Display over other apps' notification is one that "warns" you of a 3rd party app that displays its elements as an overlay over other apps.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Appreciate your praise of my review. Aiming to please and educate folks out here.

Honestly, the control panel isn't entirely a horrible idea had huawei made it an effort to invest the proper time and research needed to make it function seamlessly with other apps and ergonomically finger-wise. Regrettably, its become a novelty to some, a little shop of horror for others - at this point it is more the latter.

Dolefully, huawei is not known for analyzing minute nuances of detail - which in many cases outstrips major ones - needed to make a great product function the way it should to the satisfaction of users. It doesnt understand how to get the drop on tech in step with other phone companies. They dont know how to ride the wave. Personally, I wish the company dissolves into utter extinction never to resurface its ugly head again as a text book example for teaching companies how not to run a company!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Installed the damn thing cos it kept bugging me to do so. And boy, yes, did they mess up the swipe down panel. Control panel looks like **** (at least give us an option to remove that music player crap!). And I'm right handed, so everytime I want to swipe down to see the notifications, I need to move my hand to the left of the screen. Utter crap. The swipe down panel was perfectly fine as it was, no need to mess it up like this. Other things I don't like: desktop icons are bigger. Would like to set it back to their previous size, but I haven't been able to find out how to do it, or if it's even possible. Furthermore, I fail so see the added value of the new "enlarge folder" thing. I didn't have any problems with the way it was before. All in all, totally unnecessary update for me. Only good thing is that it bumped the security patch from June 2021 to Feb 2022.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Just noticed: when setting an alarm, hour no longer changing when you're setting the minutes and crossing the 60 minute mark. Good to keep in mind, to avoid unpleasant surprises. They should have put effort instead to allow for setting default ringtone for new alarms, and also for the option to have vibration off by default.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Actually, thats a handy upgrade in EMUI 12. Under EMUI 11, I made mistakes setting the time which caused embarrassment with missed scheduled meetings because changing the minutes "beyond 60" also changed the hour without my awareness.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
The EMUI 12 upgrade is an iphone clone with minute internal tweaks.

Concerning your complaint about the control center, currently I'm testing all the system's APKs using ADB and have so far isolated about 60 of them for the purpose of upping battery juice. If I do come across an APK that's responsible for the control center I will alert you so you can remove that package. But honestly, I dont think it helps to remove it since the control center is a mutually exclusive feature from the notif area which cannot function either on its own or if it can it would lack the necessary panel upon which all the widgets of the present control panel are shown (i.e., wifi, bt, data, etc). Stay tuned.. will let you know.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Yes, true, that's handy. But not if you've been used to the old behavior for years 🙂
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Being able to swap notification panel and control panel would suffice for me. I need the notification panel on the right hand side!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Ah, icon size can be adjusted: Settings > Home Screen & Wallpaper > Home Screen settings > Icon size.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
We all were.. Youre not the only one.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
"Disaster" is a bit harsh IMO. After having used EMUI 12 for 10+ days now, for me, it has one positive aspect (updated security patch), and one negative aspect (split notification/control panel, with the notification panel being on the left side instead of the right). All other changes either don't bother me, or I don't really notice in my daily use.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] MSK1:
Split panel is an annoyance almost constantly I would expect...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AWFRONT:
As someone who has been using this device for over 2 years; apart from the battery life issues, I must admit that there is currently no phone on the market that can beat it.

I just wish Huawei will be allowed to use the Google apps so that we can get Android 11/12… future updates or that developers will develop their apps for Harmony OS so that the experience and investing in a Huawei device is not compromised.

I still strongly recommend that you update your phone to this version to keep your device updated and enjoy the enhancements to the UI.

Let's hope that more updates will follow and this device will survive until the true replacement arrives.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Yeah, it is ☹️. However, it wouldn't have bothered me that much had they put the notifications panel on the right. I'm right-handed, and having to reach over to the left each time I want to check my notifications is a serious pain in the butt.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Very good.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] obaXLondon:
Patience young sensei, I found the new media player swipe down on Emui 12 annoying and the icons a too large to fit enough important shortcuts onscreen at a glance. However, this is balanced out by the functionality gains once Harmony open source rolls out and you can assign that control to other devices say for example Drones, lights, etc.

Remember when LG's and HTC's et all had remote control for tvs and the like? Well this is what that screen real estate is actually a placeholder for.

I miss Emui9.0 but I got my first Super device+ (WiFi 6) so now its EMui 12 all the way!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Most users wont update to Harmony. Plus, its not worth it as it hardly offers any performance difference in contrast to android.

Emui 9 sucks compared to 12. The only advantage it had was the ability to root. Outside that it was trash.
