[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Slerba:
Hi, this is My first post here, so be gentle.

My old Oneplus died and I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S9. I tested the phone with an original OS and it worked fine.

Yesterday I decided to root it (there are a few features that need root and I need those features almost daily). I searched for information about the procedure (this wasn't My first root) and found a few threads where this guide was suggested:

How to Root Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus (Exynos)

Do you want to root your Galaxy S9/S9 Plus flagship? Well, you just landed in the right place for the job. This tutorial will help you install TWRP recovery and root Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9…

www.thecustomdroid.com

Long story short: I followed those instructions and managed to root my S9. It booted up as it should and everything was working fine. I used Magisk V25.0 and root checker informed that the phone was rooted successfully.

Today I decided to debloat it and after that, I would start to use it as my main phone.

I ran across many threads that suggested using the "ADB + Fastboot" method for debloading the device. At this point, I started to feel uncomfortable because I had some issues with ADB back in the day when I was rooting my Oneplus. I decided to try it and guess what - it didn't work. I still don't know why, but ADB fastboot wasn't able to find my S9. I double-check that everything was as it should be, usb-debugging was ON and my PC did see my phone when connected to the PC via USB cable.

So I gave up on that and decided that maybe I'll just shut those unwanted apps down from the phone's settings (settings ---> apps etc).

At this point, I power off the phone. Just a basic thing to me when sleeping or something like that.

Now, the phone is in bootloop.

I can boot in the TRWP mode and flash magisk/wipe data etc. but nothing seems to help. It won't boot to OS. I've tried to root it again with the instructions above and everything went fine, but bootloop stays. I've wiped cache partition and performed a factory reset - did not help.

Can someone help me...? Is there a way to flash stock OS or somehow get the device work again? My experience with rooting is low, but I've successfully rooted five phones before this. I've experienced a few bootloops before, but those were my mistakes that were fixed with re-flashing magisk or something similar. Now I simply don't know what is the issue. =(

PS. This is a great forum and I've found tons of help from the XDA forum. Thank you to everyone, who has shared his/her information and helped with smartphones in the past! Great society.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Slerba:
I manage to solve this all by my self.

I flashed to stock firmware using frija and odin. After flashing updated all the apps and rebooted couple of times (just to be sure that phone works). After that flashed TWRP with odin, rebooted to recovery and rooted with Magisk (followed step-by-step guide fron xda forum).

Now this works like a dream.

Anybody that have the Norwegian rom?

Da hadd æ blitt gla gitt ;-)
[Sable] ravenflt:
I went into the kitchen and just modded the official "HP iPAQ 610, 610c, 614, and 614c Business Navigators - English ROM Update VERSION: 1.01.04" so it works on all SKU's and all languages. This is a true RUU ROM 1.01.04 Kitchen that works on all SKUs.

Worked perfectly on my Norwegian ABN SKU 614c that would not accept the official HP RUU Update (and the shipped version is really buggy I think). It also changes the language to English and you cannot revert unless someone makes a ROM dump of the original language. The thing is, you can actually buy ABB versions of the 614C in Norway, and Norway is listed among ABB SKU ID's (it's listed as both ABB and ABN). So obviously it seems that Norwegian 614C's are fully compatible with the EU ROM revisions, but HP are being "customer unfriendly" with their upgrade and language options, possibly due to political or licensing reasons (anyone know why HP refuses to support OS ROM changes on the 614c?)

Ofcourse, I forgot to make a ROM dump of the Norwegian language OS before modding my phone (I am British, so I wanted English anyway), so maybe *YOU* can take a ROM dump for me? Then I can maybe make a real Norwegian RUU 1.01.04 ROM Update.
[Sable] fittlips:
I could ofcourse make a Norwegian dump! If you just told me how to :)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] UmiCat:
Can you still use the S pen on an GSI?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] xplanthris:
If you are happy with it being a generic stylus then yes.

That means, No Samsung Features

There should be a root app that enables those

I'll look for it

As of now just a generic stylus

PS. Using the SPen now at the time of writing
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] UmiCat:
Thanks! That's very interesting! I am currently trying to work out if I should buy the S8. I have been using a very comparable tablet, Xiaomi pad 5 pro, in the past several months. I absolutely hate MIUI (Xiaomi OS). Although my Pad 5 is rooted there are so many things you are not allowed to do... So I am on a Pixel Experience Plus GSI, but you can't use the (expensive) Xiaomi pen. On the whole I am still better off with a GSI than MIUI for the sake of my sanity. But I really want to have the digital pen functionality. The Xiaomi pen on any GSI isn't recognised at all. You can't even use it as a capacitive pen. The S pen sounds like more adaptable. I am hoping One UI isn't as restrictive as MIUI, but having the possibility of a GSI would be always helpful. 😺
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] xplanthris:
I was about to buy the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, but seeing how it fares to GSI. I am kinda happy I struck with Samsung

Also, there is an app for ful root SPen functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
What is GSI is this a stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Stands for "Generic System Image".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Kenaz Rune:
Can anybody confirm a few GSI ROMs work with this tablet? I'm disappointed there is so little development on it, and I want to be sure I can side step all the privacy issues in the stock ROM. Andy Yan's lineageos gsi works well on my SM-T510 TAB A for example.

Also, any pointers to Android 13 ROMs is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] lampdoors23:
Currently running the PE 13 Alpha build on my Tab S8 Plus and most things work perfectly fine. The only issues are Bluetooth, stereo audio (only mono at the moment), and brightness (but manually setting the max brightness level in PHH settings to 1.0 seems to fix the issue). The fingerprint scanner also doesn't work yet. AOSP mods also help fix issues like rotation and resizing of UI elements (not necessary but personal preference.)

Seems most issues with Tab s7 series match the tab s8 series as well so I recommend checking out that thread as well for more info.

here's a link to the rom I am currently running. Other GSI roms haven't worked for me so far (android 13).

Any photo, video of this rom how it looks like? What are the benefits of installing? Are faster, better battery? In pixel android 13, they managed to run windows 10 because of virtualization capabilities of Android 13. Is it possible with our tablet and this rom, if anyone tried it?

Hi all,

I'm going to buy a TAB S8+ but I'm not sure if and which GSI roms could be ok for it.

I mean, if I well understood, GSI roms should works will all Project Treble devices so every GSI roms should be ok.

Is it correct ?

Many thanks for your reply.

If you need other than original rom, perhaps think twice. There isn't custom rom, also i don't read much for gsi rom.

Hi all,

I would like to try to flash a GSI butI'm not sure to have clearly understood the instruction given....

As I'm doing the first steps into flashing mods and to avoid to do a mess, can someone kindly better explain the flashing above and all stuff ?

Many many thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] cixelsyddyslexic:
Could not find a straightforward reference on this piece but it appears to be included in the TWRP instructions as "vbmeta_disabled_R.tar"

This needs to come from the original Samsung ROM image, if I'm not mistaken. galaxyfirmware.com has these, have to make sure you choose the correct model for your tablet.

There appears to be one included in the TWRP thread as well which goes into the USERDATA slot in Odin. Is it this: https://github.com/ianmacd/multidis...ter/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary ?

Don't really understand what this means, can you point to a good reference?

IF it's sparse, it should be a .simg file, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] xplanthris:
Apologies for the late response, lost access to the account for a while.

So to sum it up, yes a sparse image has to be a .simg.

A neutralized vbmeta is a vbmeta given to you back from magisk to be flashed. Do not use the one given in the twrp post if you are over android 12 and just have magisk fix it or patch it.

And multidisabler should be written in the terminal in twrp as it is included with twrp.

In January of this year I changed my number but I forgot to restore the backup with the old number, and the mobile operator told me that the number is disabled (for a long time of inactivity) and that they can no longer activate it because it no longer belongs to them.

I only have these files:

And how can I view or transfer the backup to my new number?
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
I have been a Redfly user for a bit with my HTC S620 (aka Dash aka Excalibur) and was always dissappointed with the number of memory errors I got .... obviously pushing the Excalibur memory to its limits.

I bought the Touch HD mainly so I could have more raw computing power.

The good news is the beta drivers work and connect well albeit with a couple of bugs.

Remote Desktop is a dream giving a correctly oriented 800*480 desktop which is perfectly usable and was one of the main reasons for my upgrade. I cannot work out how to do this natively on the phone but with the Redfly it becomes like using a netbook!

Touchflo is a dog and I have been in touch with the Celio Support guys who are going to deliver a fix in a couple of weeks. Essentially turning off touchflo when the Redfly connects and turning it on again when it disconnects. This is good, in my opinion, because it's just how it worked with the Excalibur and sliding windows.

Opera 9.5 fails to load which is a dissappointment for me because a couple of sites I frequent use php and the native IE has no idea how to render the pages, it seems. Opera 9.5 does the job fine on the Touch HD directly but not through the Redfly. Support suggest a fix for that will come but no timescale as yet. Apparently Opera 8.65 works on the Redfly, though not sure how I can downgrade the browser....any ideas?

If anyone is interested in how these bugs pan out, then please add to the thread.

Best Regards

Mal
[Touch HD General] lie_ui:
Do we have more information on this topic?

Do we have more information on this topic? I'm digging to find out as I'm very interested with the HD and if the Redfly could be the perfect companion for it.

So, the bugs at this moment:

1. Built-in/pre-install Opera does not work.

2. Video playback in the HD (Windows Media and/or other video software) will not show up in the Redfly.

3. TouchFlow 3D does not work, need to be disabled.
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
I think that's pretty much it, though I note Celio have released some more drivers which I'll be trying tonight. The previous beta drivers did not fix the problems I was having with the Touch HD.

They can be downloaded from http://www.celiocorp.com/install/beta/.

I think Celio are trying to fix problems 1 & 3 but I guess 2. is out of scope, in view of hte new device for video playback they just launched.

HTH

[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
I tried the new "64" beta drivers yesterday and confirm:

Opera still does not work - didn't expect it to.

The automatic turning off and on of Touchflo works and improves the experience on the Redfly immeasurably.

There is some form of bug in many of the apps. It looks like, in my inexperienced view, that the screen is being constantly redrawn. This makes some apps unusable e.g. in mail, which looks a lot better on this version, I can reply to the original author ok, but if I want to add in another contact the add contact screen seems to keep redrawing and flickering making it impossible to add in another contact.

I noticed the same flickering in Remote Desktop but it was limited to the top menu bar as far as I could see.

On the regular Today page, the items on screen regularly "flash" like they are being refreshed constantly.

Another glitch I found when connecting to the Touch when in power save, passworded mode, the Redfly seems to take control with the keyboard, but not of the screen. So I was operating the device using the Redfly keyboard but the screen stayed on the Touch.

I'll feed this back to support and see what they recommend next.

[Touch HD General] Aspi914:
Let me start by saying I LOVE MY REDFLY... got it when I was using an iMate JasJam and then moved to a HTC P3600i and it just works a treat...

Since then I have upgraded to the HTC Touch HD for more processing power...

I do not tend to use the TouchFlo offering on the Touch HD when I am working with it, preferring to turn it off and just use the regular windows format. With this in mind all works a treat except for the fact that because the Touch HD is a WVGA 480 X 800 pixel the screen ratio makes it look big and chunky. BTW - The Opera 9 fix that allows the Redfly to support the browser is great :)

In fact compared to what the P3600i use to deliver, the the screens look a bit "Lego" - big and chunky, but cute !

I have sent an email off to Celiocorp to see if they are looking at the resolution.

I sent them comparative screen shots of the screen ratio I use to get with the P3600i on the Redfly (2.8-inch QVGA 240 x 320 pixels screen) vs the Touch HD (3.8-inch wide, WVGA 480 X 800 pixel).

Have noticed that the phones in their Evolution program (beta) are as such;

Sony Experia - 3-inch WVGA 800 x 480 pixel

HTC Touch Diamond - 2.8-inch VGA 480 x 640 pixels

HTC Touch Pro - 2.8-inch VGA 480x640 pixels

Samsung Omnia - 3.2-inch NON-STANDARD 240 x 400 pixels

Samsung Portégé G810 - 2.8-inch QVGA 240x320 pixels

Now, while the demand is not great for WVGA they do have the Sony Experia operating on that platform, however they are still providing the RFP6_01040093.cab which is the same for the ones listed above - so I would imagine Xperia users on Redfly would have the same issue.

Considering the phones that are being released in the next six months;

Touch HD - 3.8-inch wide, WVGA 480 X 800 pixel

HTC Touch Diamond 2 - 3.2-inch wide, WVGA 480 X 800 pixel

HTC Touch Pro 2 - 3.6-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution

Samsung's new T*Omnia - WVGA 800 x 480 pixels

Asus' P835 - WVGA 800 x 480 pixels

Samsung Anycall SPH-W6050: 3-inch wide 800 x 480 pixel

Acer M900 Tempo: 3.8-inch wide 800 x 480 pixel

I have written to them asking if they are going to release a beta that supports the WVGA format? And if so when do you expect it to be available.

I did ask if because the Redfly itself offers WVGA resolution at 800 x 480 pixels - is it because the resolutions are 1:1 that is causes the issue?

Will keep you upd to date with where this gets too....

[Touch HD General] Aspi914:
Hi all,

Just a quick update.

I have not personally had a response back from Celiocorp but I did notice last night that they had a new beta release on the 19 March and that due to the significant changes between 01.04.00.147 (new release) and the last beta build (01.04.00.93) it is necessary to update both the phone and the REDFLY Firm ware to insure proper compatibility.

They list the main changes as:

[] A new compression mechanism has been implemented and it is found in a new tab in the REDFLY settings called Compression. This compression is turned off by default, but if you primarily connect via Bluetooth, we recommend turning this on. To do this, check the box that says Enable lossy compression. This will slightly reduce the image clarity on your REDFLY while significantly improving the performance speed of the data transferring between your phone and the REDFLY.

[] Several improvements for the Touch Pro, Diamond, and Fuze phones have been implemented which significantly improve the interaction with TouchFLO as well as the phone dialer. If you normally have TouchFLO turned off, the longer delay to load the screen has been eliminated and assorted issues with Font size changing on the phone have been corrected.

NOTE:

The larger-sized tool and menu bars however have not changed, and will most likely be released as they are now. We continue to work with HTC on this issue and perhaps a solution will become available in the future.

The Epix camera no longer hangs when launched (in a REDFLY session).

The Phone software version is RFP6_01040147.CAB and the Firmware required for the Redfly is RFF_01040147.CAB

As some feedback they upgrade does greatly improve the speed on the Redfly when connected to the Touch HD - so full points on this - but moving from the Lego experience is something I will still wait for. From the look of it they have not added any WVGA phones to their evaluation program...

Cheers

Hi, I did get my redfly from expansys 1 week ago.

I did install the newest software from Celio and it works fine with my Touch HD !

Only the keyboard should be a QWERTZ

Does anyone know if it is possible, to reprogram this keyboard to QWERTZ and " ä, ö, ü "

Thank you!
[Touch HD General] Aspi914:
T.Brumm - that's great it is working a treat....

I have found that the current beta drivers (http://www.celiocorp.com/smartphone#betaphones) for the Touch HD still a little buggy particularly when you get an incoming call as both the RedFly and the HD hang...

I have just picked up a Dell Inspirion Mini 9 for now and am using it with the RedFly view so I can draft emails while flying for business - but I for now I have given up on the HD RedFly combo. The other thing I find frustrating (see my post above with the images) is the change in resolution. Because both devices are naturally 800 x 480 the text within mobile outlook is very chunky and the guys a few rows back can read what I am typing....

I wish it was working for me...I really love what it stands for...

Asp
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
Having spent a couple of months trying out the cooked roms I decided to give the RedFly another try. So I had to restore back to the original ROM, then updated to the latest official HTC ROM first, which took a little while to figure out.

I then installed the new 192 drivers and firmware and although it's a while since I used it with my "Dash", I am thinking there's not a great deal wrong with this ...sure I'd like it a bit faster, but functionally I think it's back as the device I wanted it to be.
