[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Myhand:
Never tried. It is an Android bug. Insert a SIM, enter three times a wrong PIN, the SIM will be locked, unlock it with the PUK for the SIM card, set a new PIN, confirm and wait. At your device the bug would not be fixed so far, so Android will be unlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mat68046:
Unsure, how to use PUK?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Myhand:
PUK is a code to unlock a locked SIM card. A SIM card will be locked after entering three times a wrong PIN. PIN and PUK are normally written on the plastik tray of the SIM card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mat68046:
I could try the SIM from my other phone, which is a Verizon prepaid SIM. There is the SIM serial# on the card and a product UPC, but on the front there are two other numbers...Are these the PUK? This one reads "AV5007c 010622"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Myhand:
No, you must login to My Verizon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mat68046:
No luck. Verizon no help at all. Do you know anything about this MD-Next thing that MetalBlaster referred to?

I simply wanted to thank you for being in the same boat I'm in cuz I'm sinking. Long story short I went from an s21 2 years ago through four phones down to an S7 and it's just intolerable because of its Sprint firmware and I'm on a T-Mobile network. I've spoken with T-Mobile switch the access points and done as much as I possibly can without having to worry that I'm going to ruin the only line of communication I have left. I saw the date of your post and it's pretty recent and since that still seven years later roughly I just felt your pain and saw how long this page is and how many replies you got. I've been a member for a long time I've never asked a question I don't think at least I don't remember but I violate will so easily and yet by accident that I needed to find something to guide me on how to ask questions. I still don't know and having borderline personality I am probably going to think I have the answer and screw something up and not get any help because I'll violate some ruler or something so thank you for being in the same boat as me and I hope that you can swim at least my phone is currently making me feel that way because I can't even load Amazon shop or music without it taking 60 seconds to possibly load and not immediately crash at the first input. I hope you got things figured out and wish me luck cuz I'm probably going to screw it up when I ask. I just hope that reddit is an exception cuz I get banned when I try to help people not even ask questions there. Sorry for the long comment but I literally just watched a YouTube video on this and I'm still worried that I'm going to violate a rule.

I need access to someone who can use MD-Next on a USB Bridge to help me bypass a pattern lock on my wife's old phone. She needs data and pics on the phone.

MetaBlaster offered to do this but haven't heard from him since.

Thanks,

@PhotonIce Hello, please forgive me for pinging you on an old discussion. I had been wandering around for any help but with no avail. Perhaps you could guide me some way?

I have a Realme 9 Pro Plus, whose lock screen I want to bypass to retrieve the phone's data. I have written two posts on here some time ago, though havent had helpful leads. Please consider reading them both as they have well explained details. (Both posters are my accounts. I had some issue with original account so had to create another for a while.)

Is it possible to unlock the lock screen of RealMe 9 Pro Plus without formatting device?

Hello everyone, I'm new to XDA forums as a member tho I've read many topics on it long time ago when I was into rooting my past phones and other knowledgeable stuffs :) As for the question:- I have always found it a bugging issue when my realme...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] PhotonIce:
Sorry, I'm no longer up to speed with this topic. I don't know of any way to achieve what you're asking for. I don't understand your problem either. It sounds like you're saying that the phone is saying your password is incorrect when you're putting the correct password? I didn't think something like this was possible, and it's probably specific to your device/software version. Looks like you'll either have to wait for a solution on the forums, or send it in for professional data recovery.

If you don't want to do that, you can try the methods I shared in my original post, and everything you can find on youtube. But I doubt it's possible to do it on your own since I'm assuming the bootloader is locked and usb debugging is off.

If your realme phone have a "forgot password" option upon typing the wrong password or some other trigger, see if you can use that to reset your password. I've also read that some phones' screen lock can be reset by signing into your google account on your pc or other device and managing it from there, you can google how to do that if you want to give it a try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Laurie8:
Hello, did anyone here managed to get their data back or phone unlocked with the data untouched?

Facing the same issue here..

I had usb debugging enabled but i cannot get the pop-up to authorize because it requires the password. ADB shows it as device unauthorized then..

No root and no recovery bootloader.

well, if that was serious... No, you can't. They're completely different standards. USB is USB, not TV-out, even less it can be HDMI compliant. As far as I know, there's no phone on earth that supports hdmi..

Sorry for hijacking the thread but does anyone know why i have only ever been able to download MMS messages on one rom and my phone has been flashed more times than i care to remember. So i cant remember what rom it was , that i was using, when it did work. All the settings are fine. Arcsofts installed. It will detect a message is available, but it tries to download through the browser and then fails?

Not too bothered as i have bluebook which allows me to see the pics and put them on the phone anyway, but its been bugging me for over a year now, so any insight into it would be helpful.

Oh and i can send mms pics fine, just cant download them :(

(ok, just kidding, i jsut get pics of my friends cats and his computer screen, but still) it is quite frustrating not being able to recieve mms messages

thanks!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I have noticed that

1. you need to be in good 3g coverage area to receive MMS (and send), GPRS won't do.

2. If you try to 'send/receive' it will give you error, the split MMS will just notify you once you're in 3g coverage that there is MMS to be downloaded and it will switch connection from internet to MMS.

3. what radio are you using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
MMS thing is real complicated to work. I had more luck with the 4.xx version, than the 5.xx version. Although in some ROM 5.xx version seems to work rather than 4.xx. I would try different version and see what works.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] devilinabottle:
This is a dumb question but what do you need to get .nbf files to your 8125 pda phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
:D

nk.nbf file is the OS (Rom) it requires a tool to flash it to a device which is RUU (RomUpdateUtility).A Rom is a complete compressed package,which includes OS(nk.nbf) and flashing tool RUU(RomUpdateUtility).Its the flashing tool RUU,which you execute to run the rom and flash it to the phone.

I presume you need to do alot of reading and understanding all these terminology and process of flashing :)

[General Questions and Answers] WhiteRussianBC:
Hi. I have a huge problem. When I press the settings in the Start Menu my phone soft-resets immidiatly.

I dont know why.

As far as I know there is no path to the settings (Like in the windows folder),

But I've tried deleteing and recreating \Windows\Start Menu\Settings.

Nothing works. I dont know if it is some kind of virus or just a bug. Most likely its the registry that is messed up.

I haven't installed any programs on my phone recently and I use the LG KS20.

If I dont get a response quickly I will make a hard reset (If so, I will tell that on this thread).
[General Questions and Answers] kareeem:
The only time that this happens is usually when there is a major failure afaik and that you may have deleted a vital file. If you have everything backed up prior to the incident, just hard reset the device and pull up the back-up.
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteRussianBC:
Well, I could't wait anymore without my settings so I made a hard reset,

And it worked.

Most likely the registry had been messed up, But its back to usual now.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zakolb:
Hello,

I have been searching the internet for the past 2 days to find a clear answer for this.

I have received Samsung S22 Ultra SM-S908N which stands for Korea version and when accessing through Sammobile I get stock firmware only for Korea.

My friend has the Samsung S22 Ultra SM-S908E which on Sammobile stands for Asia/Africa and he can install many countries firmware.

The question is, if both hardware are exactly the same in terms of chipset aka. Snapdragon

Is it possible to Install the SM-S908E on a SM-S908N? Did someone try this already - I am assuming the phone is still new and not much of discussion about this but probably someone did this for previous models?

In case I install firmware for the international version and didn't work, boot issue, or completely not switching on.. is it possible to revert back?

Regards,
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] haifish9999:
The

- 1st : you can't install the International FW into the Korean devices variants. Even both at the same chipset.

- 2nd: it's possible to revert back. You must to flash the correct FW ( Korean FW variant ) via Odin on DownloadMod.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] goTouch:
I may be wrong but Korean version has 5G mmWave. International version doesn't have
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Have you had any luck with changing the firmware? I want to install a European one to my s908N but there seems to be no info on the internets...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cass89:
Can i ask why you want a different firmware?

To be honest, i dont understand what the difference is between regions... i have a s908e with australian region that I use in US, theres no US region for my phone

I have never had so many issues with updating a phone with Magisk before. Today is the 2nd time I lost all my data trying to update. I feel like Magisk isn't worth the hassle anymore. It is frustrating how anti-root google is becoming.

Anyone else share the same opinion?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
Were you running a custom kernel and you tried to update to March? Did you get the phone is corrupt and it wouldn't boot screen? If that ever happens again, you don't have to wipe, Just go on the Android flashing tool uncheck everything flash and you'll be good to go again. At least it's worked for me every time so far.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
No custom Kernel, it came to a point where the only screen I was given was Android Recovery screen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
I ended up going to stable magisk
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
I disagree with you...

Coming from the OnePlus 6T, and previous phones you can't really beat just pulling the boot.img from the factory image, patching it with magisk, then fastboot boot that img then install directly in the magisk app. It's actually that simple. Really is that black and white to be up front about it.

That's how I have been doing it for a while now...and...no problems for me! But this IS JUST ME.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
No. It really comes down to reading instructions and knowing what you're supposed to do when it comes to rooting. I can't tell you how many times I read folks spewing instructions that are out of date or they're patching the wrong files for their device that inevitably cause a problem.

I have not had any issues with root since the P6 came out. I have followed directions exactly as they've been written and I've been fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Did you update magisk and then faced a bootloop?

That was a bug/is a bug introduced with the latest magisk update (monday), Magisk kind of "lost" the ability to handle a certain amount of modules/certain modules. We are all waiting for a fix. The temporary solution was/is to press down Lower Volume rocker when the Google logo appeared when booting, that way you activate safe mode and all Magisk modules get deactivated. Discord says 4 modules are max right now, some say it's "just" certain audio modules that are incompatible.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I wouldn't say it's become a pain but you really need to "do your homework" and make sure to read before attempting stuff. Same old, same old I'd say.

If you're unsure, just ask. There's plenty of people here who are willing to help out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I was on regular A12 and tried to update from the app. The device rebooted and didn't appear to be rooted (I know that ryhmed) tried to direct install but got an error, can not remember the error.

Then I decided to update to the A13 DP2 beta and used canary magisk , updating via flashtool and fastboot flashing the patched image and voila! Couldn't be happier. 🤗
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
Seems like people have had some issues lately
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] android_dan:
I don't know about harder, but maybe more haphazard. February update I did the uninstall magisk method and it worked as described. Did it again for March and this time it took me three tries to get the phone to boot and at that point I lost root. Had to download the image from Google, extract boot, patch it and flash it. Not the end of the world but still no idea what happened.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
There was some glitchyness at the beginning with the vbmeta nonsense, but that's all sorted out now. The tools available are so simple to use now that its hard to imagine that anyone could have any trouble with it.

FWIW: for privacy/security reasons, I run GrapheneOS. It would normally do its own update procedures, but when you need root (I need for conducting proper backups since the built-in misses a lot), it freaks out with the unmatched boot.img. The update solution then is to download the full "factory" update package, extract the boot.img, patch it with magisk, edit the "flash-all.sh" script to remove the "-w", run the flash-all.sh, then finally fastboot flash the magisk-patched boot.img.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
^^^This 100%

While there are many ways to skin this cat, I follow the step by step instructions in my sig every update, and haven't had an issue yet.

I will admit that rooting is loosing it's allure for me as it seems cust Rom development on the phones I prefer is waning (remember the day when every device had a dozen cust Roms to choose from). That coupled with I'm no longer the guy who tries to squeeze an extra 30 min of battery life, who over/underclocked cpu's and gpu's to get a 100 pt higher benchmark score.

Root is something I still do because I like having the OPTION of customizing beyond a cust kernel and some "root required" apps, and jumping through a few hoops to make magisk work is worth it IMHO.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
This 100% as well!! ;)

The stock Google ROM is perfectly fine with some tweaks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] erktheerk:
Root renders half of the purpose of grapheneos moot though... It's "security hardened". Hand a rooted "security hardened" android phone to anyone who can watch a YouTube video and has a computer that has a USB port or wifi and they could be dumping your system files in in a matter of minutes.

What sort of privacy do you imagine you gain? Are you under the assumption that Googleplayservices is the only method by which your traffic can be singled out of the background internet swarms? Hopefully you're not replying on it to not be physically tracked. Or worse, trust it to go dark and do dirt with.

I'm asking because because I generally don't understand the motivations of users such as yourself. Using a flagship device, attempting to de-google/brand it, and then openly say it's for X privacy or X security usecase. It's simply not true. To me it's like someone buying a Porsche, throwing Ford stickers on it's and saying it's because they get better traction.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Maybe in the hands of an incompetent, but no, you can't just "walk in". Said compromising individual would have to somehow unlock the device in order to authorize the USB debugging session or whatever type of compromise they're attempting.

You are mistaking absolute security for mitigating known and easy to close holes. Bad mistake, which will always make you look like a fool.

While root control of a device can provide a high degree of access to a system, it only does so in the hands of an incompetent. Every single server running connected with the public internet has a root account. If it was so terrifyingly and absolutely dangerous, it would be pretty obvious. But the reality is that those systems are administered, in large part, by competent system administrators, who know how to safely make use of the increased access without guaranteeing that some hostile entity will walk in and take control.

Conversely, consumer electronics are assumed to be placed in the hands of nitwits who will install applications that promise to deliver jiggling lady parts that are published in hostile countries, and even worse, will hit the "ok" button when a root authorization prompt pops up. Yes, consumers, by and large, are a security DISASTER waiting to happen.

So don't you dare make the claim that root access is a violation of sane security measures. There is nothing wrong with root, as long as it is used responsibly by someone competent to make use of it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] erktheerk:
No, you misunderstand me. I've been rooting android since day one. Literally. Rooted by Dream/G1 running Cupcake with telnet on release day in 2008. I have 3 Pixel in front of me right now. One with CalyxOS, and one with Graphene. Those are for a paying customer who values their privacy, and not walking around with a crippled 'hardened device". So no root. The other is by test device I really want to Kali running on at some point.

I'll just let the lead dev/owner of GrapheneOS say the rest, I'm not debating what you want/like, I only elaborated on you want it sounds like to others.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
There's nothing "crippled" about it. Its just AOSP with some hardening.

Yeah briefly looking at that link, their explanations are irrelevant. The bottom line is that they don't want morons who don't know what they're doing modifying the crap out of it, and either (a) having to be supported, or failing that (b) making the project look bad.

Nothing about it makes it "less customizable" than any other AOSP. Magisk/root or anything else installs on it and works just like it does on any other AOSP distribution. It just doesn't have all the broken junk thrown in willy nilly without taking a careful look at the implementation first, i.e., is it actually a *useful* feature, and can it be implemented in a secure manner? As a clear example, take a look at the call recording feature request; https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/868 -- clearly a useful feature. The "lineageos" implementation has been brought forward, not as something to pull straight in, but as a point of study and/or somewhere to start building a good implementation -- their implementation is unsatisfactory in terms of security and maintainability.
