[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
I feel you. I hate when my phone gets marred.

This heavily N10+ is almost 3 yo and lives in the dusty desert. Not even a micro scratch on the lense protector that I can spot. Like on the S22U it's part of the rear cover. Sold separately too I believe.

The S22U is 30gm heavier than N10+, it's not going to like getting dropped. The only thing the N10+ likes to do more then corner hit when dropped is face plant. I use the Zizo Bolt, the phone is still in perfect condition. Without it this N10+ be toast.

Worry about and protect the stuff that's expensive and hard to replace; display, frame, and mobo.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Iyad22:
For me personally it dose especially with the 10x .. but i rather lose quality then it breaks so
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The biggest issue will likely be ghosting, reflection between the cam sensor and that new added optic. The factory protector is deliberately placed at a specific distance from the sensor to minimize this if well designed. Anyway you don't want to add another element that adds another reflective surface to cause ghosting especially if it has no anti reflective coating(s)😳
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Iyad22:
Bel

I dont know what features or what material used in the one i used but clearly its affecting. Im not a person who takes alot of pics but when i dose i try to wipe the camera as much as possible. I will be using this device for the next 2 years or so thats why i want as much protection as possible
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
As long as you have a case with a raised guard it won't be a problem. I do the same thing to clean the Samsung factory lense protector as I do with expensive filters, eyewear and L lens; a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Very rarely do I scratch optics.

Always keep your fingers off the optic's surface and don't allow any objects to touch it.

When do I have to use any liquid cleaner I use windshield cleaner with the hydrophobic additive. Use that on the display protector as well. If you don't touch the lense guard you only need clean it occasionally, days, even weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lukecz123:
I use noname Chinese Ali... lens protector (cca. 6 USD). No difference noticed, pictures looks like the same, tested on my balcony view south, against the sun, morning, noon, night (no sun :-D).
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Kamlesh96:
I've been using the 10 Pro for 4 months now and like to change to this amazing 10T which has excellent specs compared to the 10 Pro!
[OnePlus 10T 5G] scottlavish:
Yeah, the Oneplus 10T has great specs so it is a good option for 10 Pro! I'm too getting this phone after the launch.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] galaxys:
Its spec's beats the 10 Pro big time! Not sure about price point....
[OnePlus 10T 5G] JPower123:
I think according to an unboxing video released today, the price is $700, but I am not 100% sure.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] scottlavish:
I just now searched for it and it is showing $899 which is a little high but I think the price would be reasonable! Let's see after the launch...
[OnePlus 10T 5G] JPower123:
Pricing in NA according to the launch event: $650 for base 8/128, and $750 for 16/256. 16 gigs of ram seems pretty overkill, but good price either way imo. Also, if you pre order the phone in the next few days, the 16G version is $650.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Thystle:
I am looking into 10T too. They said the phone frame is made of plastic, and the screen is 1080P with flat glass, not sure of the screen manufactory yet now, but my 10 Pro has a beautiful curved screen from Samsung.

I am wondering the screen maybe not so good as my 10 Pro.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Aduser345:
If you're wondering that you will get the same screen as 10 pro then don't buy it since oneplus decided to cut costs some places they didn't give this phone the screen most were expecting it to get other than that it's a nice device

Regarding the plastic frame, I don't think it should make that much of a difference since It doesn't fail to look amazing if that's what you're after

Personally I liked this phone very much it has its downsides but those don't bother me much again it's personal opinion so feel free to checkout in-store if possible if you're unsure 😄
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Kamlesh96:
Yes, there are some adjustments but 10T looks sleek and fast to use. I used the phone at the event and it was really good! I ordered it and gave the 10 Pro to my brother...
[OnePlus 10T 5G] mingkee:
The ONLY reason is if you prefer flat screen
[OnePlus 10T 5G] jllll:
The flat screen can last longer easily. But if you want to use phones for longer then you don't want to switch yet.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] cakebytheocean:
Yes, Oneplus 10T is a good phone with good specs and I got mine after exchanging my S22! I don't like the samsung interface!
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Scann69:
Been using the 10T for the last 3 days. Pretty smooth so far

the charging is just WOW
[OnePlus 10T 5G] maamdroid:
Yeah yah! Charging is just WOW for sure! I contemplated the 10 pro or the 10t. With the price, the charging and the latest Snapdragon I went with the 10t. I've been very happy with this phone so far.

I had the pixel 6A for 2 weeks before I got my 10t. That thing would overheat always. It wouldn't even charge it would be so hot with just general use. This phone stays nice and cool even under heavy loads.

Here's a screenshot of the pixel 6a with doing the same stuff I'm doing now on my 10t. Crazy hot! View attachment 5706833
[OnePlus 10T 5G] abdennour.tlb:
yes 10t has SD8gen1+ from TSMC
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I've recently been having issues with a tablet device of mine (Lenovo Tab 4 8 TB-8504F) which I tried to downgrade to Android Nougat from the latest and very unstable Android Oreo version that was on it using QPST and a "Stock Firmware" from FirmwareFile.com (Bad idea) The funny thing was.... It wasn't. I tried to go back using their official repair tool (Rescue and Smart Assistant) and I ended up with an even more broken version of Android Oreo with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capability. Now I'm stuck with a tablet with no internet access. I know for a fact that the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work, it's just I can't seem to find an actual official Firmware for my device. Hope someone can help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
They don't offer any repair tools(from what i know), they do give a tool to flash it though, format it using recovery then flash it using their tool, this did work for me, then i flashed patched magisk file, hope this helps.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I've already tried to find any old firmware online and flash it with QPST the flashing tool that your talking about. Always ends up with a heavily broken or rom.withour internet or Bluetooth. I just don't know where to look!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
follow the guide on how to use the flashing tool (you have to make it match the config with the rom that's why it's broken), It should unbrick your device although it will wipe your data since it will flash your entire device. Make sure that the firmware also matches with your device.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I would imagine that their official tool https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa

would give me the correct one. It downloads it from their official servers using the Serial Number S/N to identify what you should get. but with my problems, I think you can tell it doesn't work. hence why I'm stuck.

But in recent hours I've managed to be able to get into TWRP (Bootloader is now also unlocked if useful), but whatever action I do e.g. Install .zip or Backup, it just has a scrolling bar and that's it. it does nothing else. I have no idea why it's doing such an odd thing. despite using the "Best Version" for my device according to a comment on a post I've seen in past.

twrp-3.3.1-1-TB8504 is the build I'm using if you can find it.

Anyways if you would be able to send a guide of some kind or explain to elaborate configuring the flash that would be awesome.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] AzimBahar:
you can check on romdevelopers as they have full collection of files, including latest, its may help
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
That is just what I was looking for! They have a massive collection! Not sure whether it'll change anything...

Edit: I sadly don't feel comfortable giving my address to a website I have no past affiliation with.

Edit 2: I curved, and it was for nothing. Supposedly I need to "Buy A Package". What Kind of world would someone pay for software you used to have!

Thanks anyways!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Sorry for the confusion, I meant the tool in firmwarefile. Lenovo's website has not helped me while rooting. They have a guide after you downald it. For now just unbrick your device then root it later.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
It was never bricked, I just need to get a firmware that is official and has the hardware support I need to get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Good ! Backup and flash it using their tools. I did use their firmware you need to flash it entirely
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I've used over 5 different firmware files, they all either have no Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or are not official and are filled with bloatware or are missing whole suites of software. The official tool that I sent a link to (The Lenovo Recovery Software) Only gives the choice of one firmware that IS official. but it doesn't have any Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on my device.

I know it's not an issue with hardware for sure.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Make sure that your firmware matches 100%, please try to install the firmware of the cpu using their tool from firmwarefile. That's what's probably causing it. Bet that mobile data won't work either
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I can't identify which one I need from here https://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-tab-4-8-tb-8504f. I've used them all before but I can't remember which were good. Some are completely outrageously bad and change the boot logo and other odd stuff.

The only thing I know is that it's a type ZA2B.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
If it changes it to linux that means you should use their tool
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Tool it is! Fastboot gets changed to good ol' tuxo...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Would you be able to send a link to the tool since I'm struggling to find it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Right above the downald . FOLLOW the guide or else you might hard-brick it.

Download QcomDloader Tool (all versions) - Qualcomm Tool

Download latest version of QcomDloader Tool to flash or install firmware on Qualcomm Devices. Available versions are v1.0.2, v1.0.3, v1.0.6, v1.3.0.2.

androidmtk.com
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Isn't QFIL the same thing at core? Link: https://qfiltool.com/

since that's what I've used the whole time...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Nope this one flashes their roms but you can still use fastboot for patching
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
neat, okay now I know where I went wrong. but firmwarefile.com doesn't have any QcomDloader firmwares that I can actually download. I need to get a link to one. would you be able to see whether you can find one that works? (Make sure it ends with ROW Cause that's what the original firmware was)

The only ones I can find are on Google Drive and they end with this page...

Strange enough It's been like this for over a year and a half. (how long I've had the device like this)

And that's why I never used the tool cause it has a lot harder of firmware to get.

View attachment 5676411
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
There's a bypass, add a folder to your drive then goto this link click on "..." and add shortcut to your folder then downald your folder, or you can google it up.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
can't seem to get it working. I think I'm doing it wrong...

Edit: Nevermind! I googled it. I didn't see it in your message!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
This might help
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Got it now. Just need to wait for it to finish and then I can flash the file.

What a smart trick that is...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Another thing, I believe this would be better in a Live text application instead of here mainly cause I have no idea when you respond. Any ideas?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Do you have ramdisk ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Yes I do... Why so? (Magisk Said I did) (Haven't Rooted Though)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Nope you can enable notifs
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Okay, So why are you asking about RamDisk?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Nice, patch the boot.img then. After flashing your device ( make sure to factory reset before using recovery ), flash the patched boot.img
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
So flash, factory reset. TWRP to install patched boot.img? Correct? Just wanna be sure!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Will you install twrp or just flash it ? With twrp it's different, I was talking about flashing it in fastboot
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
alright. flashing in fastboot is new to me. just to be sure do I run...

fastboot oem flashing unlock

then

fastboot flash boot boot.img

BTW haven't flashed TWRP, just fastboot it every time...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Is your bootloader unlocked? To check it goto dev options and see if oem is grayed out
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
It's unlocked for sure otherwise I can't get into TWRP!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Not good! Can't access the "raw program file"
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Twrp is a rom that you need to flash, it's not included in the device. Pretty sure there isn't twrp for your device but idk, you can check on their website. If your bootloader is unlocked don't do 'fastboot oem flashing unlock'.Patch your boot file with magisk transfer it to the pc and flash it w/fastboot after fully flashing your device using their tool
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I'm using an unofficial built (unsafe I know but it works) version of TWRP from a forum from here (google it). rest I can't do cause it's not flashing!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
What command do you use ? You still should use the tool provided by firmware file to bring back the roms to factory
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
The fastboot command I use to get to TWRP is

fastboot boot TWRPIMAGE.img

gonna use QcomDloader just need to figure out how to use it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
No. No. no need to use QcomDloader if you need twrp, The command is wrong it's "fastboot flash recovery *name*" then that command
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Updated
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
So I need to flash the Boot.img from the firmware using fastboot?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Wrote it wrong .flash the recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery name.img'
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
You also might need to rename the iso to twrp.img
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I'm getting really confused. TWRP isn't flashed. and I'm not gonna. I don't intend on rooting. (yet!) I just want a working firmware!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Then use their tool and instructions, thought you fixed it and wanted to root it
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
As you can see, this isn't so easy to convey with text! I just need to figure out how to get qualcommDloader to work so I can see whether this firmware is what I'm looking for!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
It won't verify the firmware here :https://androidmtk.com/use-qcomdloader-tool
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
For some reason QcomDloader Detects it, but after a few seconds it just says FAILED as the status...

See?! No Dice...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Hold the combo longer but more probably your bootloder isn't unlocked
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Trust me it is. I think the firmware I downloaded was bad. I'll try again later tonight...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Did you match the build number, emmc etc ? Go to dev options and tell me if oem unlocking is grayed out, if it is it's unlocked.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
It is unlocked.

build number emmc ect. nope. I only know that I need a ROM with ROW at the end for sure.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Please follow their guide top to bottom
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Who exactly do you mean by "Their". the only thing I've got so far is a guide on how to use QcomDloader.

A tool to find the correct firmware would be awesome.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Yup you can go device info and find device model then search it up in firmwarefile
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
No idea what you mean but this is my devices official page... https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/products/tablets/a-series/tab4-8/za2b/za2b0003au

not sure if it'll help but see if you can find one with this info.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Could you give me the device model ? You can look up on how to get it
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Model: Lenovo TB-8504F

Android Version: 8.1.0

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
There you go: https://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-tab-4-8-tb-8504f
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
That's the same page I've been this whole time. They are either or the other. You know the drill, hence why I hate this issue. I've used all of them they all don't work. I need to see whether I can get it from somewhere else.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
First one is the actual firmware the others are updates i'm pretty sure
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Use this tool (official) to recover it just found out about it when I wanted to update to android 10 (:, https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I've used the same thing the whole time as well, still isn't working. I in fact think it could be hardware. I'll give it a look today.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
When do you get stucn during the process ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
I don't think it's the firmware now, I think my hardware has managed to be semi bricked. Cause there was a point in the past where I tried kingo root in the unofficial firmware that worked. And is from what I heard a virus that installs itself very deep in the system. Could still be the firmware but it's a shot in the dark
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
When do you get stuck while recovering this does 100% wipe the entire firmware so even rootkits will be removed
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
No idea what you are saying. Do I wipe the entire device?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Use the tool I provided (the official one) and use it , it will update it to the latest version + full wipe (firmware included)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Done that ages ago still nothing, should I do a wipe with the fastbootable twrp?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Do it again, does it flash succesfully but you still can't use wifi, DON'T plug the device before the flashing, until it tells you to, else it's going to autodetect the firmware and update the uncompatible one so make sure it asks for the s/n
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Yep been there done that.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
And did it finish sucesfully ? You can try a factory reset from options. Just try it again do not cancel the downald even if it takes long after it downalded.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
It did finish successfully back then,

still same issue.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Just did it again. still no dice.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Sorry dude , it's a hardware defect, RIP tablet.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Probably the wifi+ bluethooth one
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
That's a real pity, and sad. the warranty is dead too!

From what I know the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on the main board. may as well just buy a new one!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
You can go to 3rd party repair shop. But unless you have tools you can't fix it ):
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
In fact I have the tools! Just the problem is that the replacement is the whole main board from what I gather.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Try re-soldering and reconnecting, it's not fried / damaged since it's in the mainboard
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Had a look. re-soldered and it's not fried. it's software since nothing was out the ordinary. fixed the broken headphone port.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
I don't think I can help anymore, good luck on the repair
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
Well thanks for the help anyway! Hope someone else will come across this post and know what to do!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] onikwuthkro:
I encountered the exact same problem when I recovered to stock using the rescue assistant by Lenovo. The solution was to flash

"persist.img" back:

fastboot flash persist persist.img

persist.img can be found in the RomFiles folder the assistant app downloaded.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Pretty sure it flashes all the files but this might work .
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
When does it like not work, in what way ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MAGOOSKEE:
You are a legend! It worked! it turns out the reason I couldn't flash in TWRP is cause persist diddn't even exist! Hate when things lay clues! Solved the Wifi and bluetooth.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Phonerooteer12:
Amazing !
[Thinkpad Tablet General] zahosss:
hey when i try to flash persist it says what you see in the screenshot also i tried to drag the file it didint work i tried doing fastboot flash persist.img no luck i tried fastboot flash persist no luck please help

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] dan-dafantom:
I had recently installed Lineage OS 19+NikGapps+Magisk combo on an Asus phone. From what I know this requires the bootloader to be unlocked else it could cause issues. But in the developer options it seems to have relocked. Anyone else having this issue? And would I need to unlock it again for OTA updates etc?

All the motherboards on Aliexpress are fake - run @steadfasterX's SALT and it shows they've all been modified in some way, with crazy ARBs of 20 and even 40!

Where (or which seller) would you guys recommend getting legit motherboards, and not frankenboards?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koubiacz:
