No, you cannot. A/B refers to the split partition scheme that these devices use now. Instead of having one OS installed and applying updates to that single partition scheme, we now have dual partition sets. This allows updating in the background since the update will install to the partition set not in use and switch when you reboot. System modification breaks seamless updates (along with other issues like dm-verity) so Magisk was retooled to not actually modify the system partition.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
What if I am not concerned about automatic updates....then is it possible? Bottom line is, is it possible at all?

If you go back to OOS11, you can try this.

Hello friends !

I apologize to the admins in advance for making another post on my device as my case has escalated !

I took my phone to a repairer who damaged it even more !

He used a BOX Z3 to flash the device !

After a week, I went to the store to see if the job was done !

He had done nothing and made me believe he was working on it.

He asked me to come back the next day, so today and I got the device.

RESULT :

I no longer have recovery mode !

My imei number is not accessible via fastboot

Impossible to charge it in off mode !

Lines of code are inaccessible !

I show you the directory of the root file !

Can you send me yours to compare the missing files please !

To do this put C:\adb\DIR

I need your help please, my phone needs to work again and it can, I know it !!

Help me, I don't know what to do ! 😥

I bought a Fuze at no commitment today, and after I left the store, I noticed that the sales rep took off my MEdia Max 200 Bundle and replaced it with a PDA Plan. I had asked him not to touch my account.

So how can I get the MEdia Max bundle back? I have been poking around online in my account and can't seem to find a way. Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VocaB:
have u tried puttin your sim in another phone ..changingit to the medis max online and then switching the sim back into the fuze??..idk ..jus a thought
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] motionmind:
Try to convince them that you're using an old phone again...otherwise I don't think you can get it back. Talked to one of the sales people today and he said they're really cracking down on that lately. I still have Media Max, so we'll se how long it lasts.

*Decided to check my phone before bed and I can't get a data connection any more...the salesman said they were actively blocking medianet data plans on these phones, looks like he may have been right.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pmcall:
Bummer. My old phone is a Tilt, and before that an 8525.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BBM-Lee:
Manage your account online?

1) Go to https://www.wireless.att.com/olam/dashboardAction.olamexecute

2) Change device to something like the Shine or Vu

3) Change data plan to MediaNet Unlimited/Max

Doesn't require calling or otherwise lying to a person over the phone.

I can't say/promise this will work with the Fuze -- but it did with the Tilt.

I personally like AT&T's service, so I'm glad to pay an extra $10/month for internet service. YMMV so I respect others decision to pay less if the service isn't working well for you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dramacydle:
I just checked this in my account options and switched my phone from the Tilt to a Samsung A117, but the MediaMax bundles/options aren't available. It still only lists PDA plans, with a minimum add-on of $30/month for unlimited data and $35/month minimum if you're looking for a bundled text option (200 message). Things aren't looking good if they do a check on my features when I upgrade to the Fuze. Has anybody else had their MediaMax taken away/replaced who switched to a Fuze?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] motionmind:
This is odd but a nice surprise...after my data stopped working altogether last night I checked it again this afternoon when I had time and noticed it was back working again. I checked my account online and it still has MediaMax, so I'm not sure what my issue was.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] georgi55:
If you have an old phone that is supposed to be on Media Max like SMT5600, put the SIM in that phone, make a call, and also open up a webpage.

Now try to go online account and see if you can change the dataplan.

If not call customer care and tell them you have decided to return the Fuze and are now back on your old phone and would like MediaMax put back on the way it was before.

That's what I did and it worked for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
If you all do actually change your pda data to media net. you WILL NOT recieve your rebate, for those that have already done it, kiss that rebate goodbye. For those who have not, wait till you get your rebate then do the sim swap data change.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
There not stupid, you have a 30 day return policy, cust care can see when you got it (its updated on your account) and if you have returned it, by the date of contract.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
The same exact thing happened to me at the store. The rep. told me he was "leaving my account exactly as it is" and when I got home, I had no data plan attached. I angrily called care and demanded my Media Max plan back and was able to get it back but noticed the next day that my data plan seemed to be bottlenecked. In the course of calling tech support for help, they saw that I was using the FUZE, told me that I needed to change my plan for it to work, and then changed it. Low and behold, my FUZE is working as planned.

I may or may not try to switch back at some point to the MediaMax plan since I do have an old 3G handset lying around.

For those of you who are going to attempt to add an older phone IMEI to your account, make sure that your device is 3G capable or your account won't get the "UMTS Attach" feature which automatically gets added when you add a 3G IMEI.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] evilxhwnd:
i have a few different old phones lieing around and everytime i put my SIM card in one of those phones and visit the ATT website my device is automatically updated. However, i still can't enable media net. Does media net only work for the phones listed on the ATT site for media net?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baires:
Why is MediaMAX more desirable than the PDA + 200 text plan? Aren't both unlimited data and 200 text for $35 a month?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] YodaJM:
MediaMax is $20/month
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
You can get MediaMax with unlimited data and text for $35/month whereas the same with the PDA plan is $50/month
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Godrockdj:
So basically what you are saying is, if your Media Max plan is taken away (and I do have one, using it on my current Treo 680 happily) when you begin using the Fuze you just have to suck up the fees for the high PDA data plan until you get your rebate back months later, then at that point stick the sim in another phone and try to switch it back?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
Call me crazy, but I have a feeling that AT&T has implemented certain tracking features with this phone that were never present before, such as limiting internet access and being able to fully track usage and data plan automatically with this phone.

Reasoning:

1. I logged into my account online and where I usually see the feature "UMTS Attach", it was replaced with "Tracking Feature UMTS" from the date that I got the FUZE.

2. When I switched back to MediaMax instead of the PDA Personal Plan, my internet worked flawlessly until later on that day when I was getting bottlenecked speeds of 25 kbps max until I called care and re-added the PDA Personal plan.

3. HSDPA disabled by default and the normal reg. changes which would stick no longer function properly.

4. MUCH tighter feature control on this handset than on any handset prior to it: GPS doesn't even work until you download AT&T Navigator, TF3D is completely contstricted by AT&T customizations, Opera comes with AT&T proxies hidden buried in settings etc.

Overall, I think that AT&T has worked very closely with HTC on this phone in particular to reel in advanced users in an attempt to keep them in their walled garden.

Thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
What im saying is when you upgrade to ANY PDA, the condition of getting your rebate is the correct feature. I.E. Pda Personal. When the rebate department check's to make sure its still active and the rate hasn't changed as well as the feature then your rebate is processed. If any of the required criteria has changed you will get a postcard saying DENIED. You really need to read the conditions of the rebate witch is stated on the rebate itself.

As far as the Rep changing the feature, this is a gray area. The upgrade of activation WILL NOT allow you to proceed unless the PDA personal feature is added. So in case of upgrade this is why most of you are seeing media net taken off. The rep is required to tell you if a feature is going to be changed, however when it is changed the WSA (wireless service agreement) you sign before leaving states changes made. Calling and griping will get you no were, due to the fact it is impossible to change back to media net if there is a PDA tagged to the account.

So you have a option, keep the PDA personal feature (it works better than media net anyway) Or don't get a PDA. However, when you go do your upgrade, new line, add on whatever. Make sure you know what you are getting. You would not get a credit card without knowing the intrest rate first would you?

You can do the SIM swap trick but wait till you get the rebate.

As far as the feature tracking and control on the phone itself. For the love of god FLASH A ROM. Most senior members and ROM cookers that have ripped the stock rom apart have a general idea why im saying this. FLASH FLASH and FLASH some more. AT&T really did a number on this rom!!!!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pazookie:
with all this tracking stuff people are talking about and restrictions why not just flash a raphael rom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Funny how they add the data plan, but on the actual phone, when you try to connect it says Connected to MEdiaMax
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stevelion:
Unless you have a qualifying text plan like many do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stevelion:
I just got rid of MedMax 200 for $20/mo; not $35. While this plan is no longer available, MEdiaNet unlimited is for $15/mo and 200 messages is only $5/mo.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stevelion:
It means that your account has an PDA IMEI attached to it so MEdiaNet plans will not show on OLAM. The only way to get it back is to have your account changed to a non PDA device. You are not obligated to use the Fuze on this line nor are you obligated to use a data plan if you really hate the $30 - I know I do! At $15 a month I'm wireless. At $30 a month, I'll syncronize my phone with a cable or Bluetooth.

MEdiaNet works on any data capable phone. MEdiaNet is currently only sold on phones without full keyboards. Their policy on this has shifted over time or was unclear in the beginning and many like myself bought PDAs with MEdiaNet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dcdivenut:
A new twist

I have had a Razr, 8125, 8925 and now the Fuze. I finally lost my Media Net Plan... okay.. I can live with this... I got away with it for a while.

But... I notice that I got moved the $45 enterprise plan. WTF? I called and I was told that in order to get e-mail from an exchange server I had to have the $45 plan! I called bull&%) on that, and threatened to return the phone and cancel my contract (I am free now) and get a BB Storm on Verizon. I did this all pretty nicely BTW. 2 reps hemmed and hawwed and didn;t really seem sure what the deal was.

I finally got x-ferred to billing who moved me back to the $30 plan and said that if I no longer get e-mail I will have to move back to the $45.

I am okay moving from $20 to $30, after all I got away with for a LOT longer than I should have. but to jump to $45. I have stuck with AT&T because I travel out of the country 3-6 times a year and I like the phone but with the Storm... problem solved, and I will finally be able to get a freakin signal on the subway system here in DC!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ggmathur:
HSPDA?

Will MediaNet allow you to use the HSPDA/3G network? I would like to switch back but would like to keep HSPDA...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sunil23:
Hmm...This is a troubling thread for us ATT users that have been able to get by using the media max unlimited plan on the tilt, 8525, etc.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like by virtue of putting your SIM into a Fuze, it will force your account into a higher data plan? Has anyone done this without being forced into a higher data plan? By 'forced', I don't mean by a customer service rep, rather your features being changed without your knowledge in OLAM.

Thanks in advance for any input!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] btprice2001:
I got a Fuze with a 2 yr. contract extension and was lucky enough to have the rep leave my account alone and I kept my old media max data plan (I did tell her that I did not want to add a data plan, etc.). I have been able to access the internet with 3G just fine. However, I have not been able to receive mms messages since. I had the same plan with an unlocked TyTN II and never had any issues. Is there a way that AT&T could make mms messages not come through? I tried putting my sim in my wife's razr v3 and I could receive mms messages then, but back in my Fuze no deal. Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ggmathur:
No, they do not change your plan until they are aware that you are using the phone. At least, this was my experience. When I received the phone, I put my old SIM card in and everything worked fine. I called them to unlock it and had to tell them I was using it so they then kicked me off the MediaNet plan. But if you call and give them a different IMEI number and claim that is the phone you are using (assuming it is a compatible phone), you are eligible for the MediaNet plan again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sunil23:
I agree that conventional wisdom would dictate that 'they' would not change your plan without your knowledge (at least in the past).

It sounds like people are suggesting that the system is smart enough to recognize your phone type (has always been able to do this via IMEI) AND is now able to do something about it without human intervention (i.e. automatically move you to a more appropriate data plan). Am I way off base here?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] driz:
i bought the fuse on a 2 yr upgrade, called and said i returned the phone to the store. They asked for my new imei, i pulled out an old samsung x427 and read the imei off. Then i asked for media max (15$) and they added it, fuze connects fine, shows 3g, although i didnt do speed tests. I leave tomorrow from the country, so i doubt ill have time to speedtest... but imei is all there is too it. They cant tell what device you have.. they go off imei
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tribalmunky:
I upgraded my phone online direct. They left my BlackBerry Unlimited plan that I use for work. I've had it on my account since I got the Tilt.

For some reason though, when I first tried to get it in a store, the sales people were real dicks about it. But the customer service over the phone said that I shouldn't have had trouble. It was just annoying and only gives me more reason to buy things online to avoid hassles like this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Actually. The moment you put your sim card in a phone, they can tell what the IMEI # is. It's a security feature. :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tassadar898:
I've been using MediaMax200 for along time on my blackjack and purposefully bought the phone at full retail so I could keep this plan when I got my fuze. All was well until about 2 weeks into using my Fuze when my internet suddenly dropped. I called and they asked me for an IMEI because my current IMEI showed up as 1111111111111111111111's apparently. I did not give it to them, saying i'd call them back later. Now my internet is working again, weird huh?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tassadar898:
Acutally now my internet is just REALLLLYY slow. It was extremely fast with MediaMax past 2 weeks WTF? Does this mean I have to cough up the extra $$ for the PDA plan =(.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] driz:
@kraize, that's highly unlikely... which is why they ASK you for an IMEI when you tell them you have a different phone. The phone listed on my account shows an x427 from samsung, right now, im using a g1. My dad has a jailbroken iphone 3g now and his account shows an MPX220 from moto.

anyway, it's also incorrect what someone else said about at&t knowing when you return stuff... I bought a tilt ended up calling corporate, returned it to them, and the regular stores had no idea. I told them what happened, they changed the plan... they will enter in whatever you say, as long as you have a valid IMEI to give them..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Maveaxe:
I upgraded to a fuze about a month ago and refused to pay that much for freaking internet when i dont even use it so i switched to media max using my brothers phone and everything is well so far and its been 3 weeks now i am hoping i get away with this but who knows.

P.S. they can somehow tell i am using a Fuze i go online and click on my account look at my phone it says i have the fuze even though i never in putted on my account and if i switch it and relog in it comes right back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] natehow:
I had the same problem with my Hermes... the att rep forced me to go with the pda data plan and a txt plan what a load of crap!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grafik2:
i upgraded a line with an old samsung phone attached to it, asked for insurance on my fuze, and put my sim in it (different line than was upgraded)

everything worked fine with my medianet unlim plan. the other day my email stopped working, and i looked into it and noticed that my medianet settings changed from wap.cingular to ims.cingular

anyone know what that is? are they tracking now? auto-changing data?? they definately can see that the fuze is on my line and not the line i upgraded it from.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
The IMS APN is for the video share feature.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gwtx2:
Only PDA plan is required. No txt plan is required. Your rep ripped you off.

And while I'm posting, I may as well vent. About 60-70% of the time I call at&t for an issue or service, they tend to foul up some portion of my account. For example, I called once to have a txt msg plan removed from one of my three lines, and they disconnecting the phone. I had to call back and spend several minutes explaining what happen so I wouldn't be charged a disconnect fee.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
You got suckered by a "Commission Whore"
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mjwood0:
Forgive me if I don't get it, but if you have a PDA, why are you objecting to getting put on a PDA plan? I'm all about saving a buck where I can, but seriously -- if you don't want to pay for the PDA plan, get a phone that doesn't require it.

Perhaps thats just me...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
Its no just that, its the fact that the 15.00 and the 30.00 feature connect and do the exact same thing. They both connect to the same APN.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mjwood0:
Ohh.. I totally agree that there should be some standardization between plans. Coming from a Blackberry user who got stuck paying the $30 BIS plan fee for two years, I understand the frustration.

I guess, in the end, that's just how it works... they figure that the phones that use the non-PDA plan generally use less data and the phones that require it use more. I think they are trying to generalize users by their data usage and charge accordingly.

Personally, I think they should offer a 500MB plan for $10, a 1GB plan for $15 and a 5GB plan for $30 -- or something like this.

This way, those who use more pay more and those who don't can get the cheaper plan. That's how everything else works (txt, minutes, etc...) But again, I feel that those who use 5GB would probably be upset having to pay more...

PS. My Fuze gets here hopefully on monday and I can't wait to start playing! The BB experience was great, but getting too confining!

If not it kept on tripping the boot and encryption issue, and it forces to install a stock firmware again.

The key thing really was the Tabs3_oreo_forced+encryption_disabler.zip

Once you have that flashed the rest of the steps are standard.
