[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
Is there a decent Android phone in less than $600 / 600€ ?

Nord 2 5G is one of them. Once figured how to root without bootloop ( no TWRP) do great the job.

I am not happy with some stupid OnePlus decisions but in general the phone performs well.

Don't find oxygen so bad. My other driver is lineage os and feel the same comfortability.

Yeah, OTA update on rooted is pain and mtk is not my favorite SoC, but the overall experience is great.

Almost a year on customized & rooted.

If someone suggest better phone in this price segment will consider the change.

Particularly I cannot find one.

Best.

Edit:

After few days of research and looking on OPPO, Realme, OnePlus, Motorola, Samsung, (Xiaomi - no), didn't liked one more than mine DN2103. Will keep it, hopefully with oxygen 11.3.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Smoop:
Hey guys, in the past i have upgraded from the stock os to what ever the newest on here was at the time.

But some time after vista came out i downloaded a possible offical upgrader from o2s xda website, this heap of crap failed half way through upgrading with no error messages - i assume it was becuase i was running on vista at the time.

So after that, once we turn on the device we just see what i assume is the bootloader, When connected it says "USB v1.06" and if we disconnect it says "Serial" instead of usb.

Some research today provided there are vista drivers to be downloaded, so i installed those (On windows server 2008 x64 R2 beta! which is based on vista rtm) the driver seemed to install fine,

I downloaded "Syed Ather WM 6.1 Dark Edition" and ran HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but this errors out before even running with the following:

---------------------------

HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe - Application Error

---------------------------

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application.

So any general direction here on how to get my little device back would be nice thanks guys

SHRP is based on TWRP, its officially supported unlike TWRP, has some more features and a better UI.

[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mineplayerminer:
I flashed SHRP almost and from my perspective, there are still some bugs like the flashlight not working or the Themes options broken.

And speaking about the Backing up and Restoring functions, only the Backup works.

I have successfully rooted my RN9 without any problems. I forgot to clear the Dalvik on the first time and had to perform a Data wipe. After fixing my mistake, everything worked as it should.

I immediately flashed a custom ROM (Project Elixir) and it's excellent!

Make sure you install the Magisk first, so the recovery won't get replaced by a Pixel Experience one.

In the tweaks, use the "MIUI anti-replace recovery" feature which flashes the recovery, if using MIUI.

Also, if you plan to use the SHRP's included Magisk v23, make sure you wipe the Dalvik after an installation as it doesn't do it for you automatically.

So, my conclusion: I definitely recommend it as it's easy to use even though It has some bugs that will get fixed soon.

The rest of the time, I've been searching XDA for some way to get the unlock code without the dang email, but joy.

If there is someone who can help me get this stupid thing unlocked so I can root, I would be forever grateful.

How do you plug it?

You must remove the battery cover.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Hi

I think its the usual "saw up your sim cards" job, then fit the important bits into a holder thats the same size as a normal sim, then stick this in the sim slot.

For the most part switching between sims involves powering off/on the phone. I did have one in the distant past that would swap sims when you set it to flight mode then back out again.

We shall see, it was only £6 quid iirc.

Yeh, Simore are meant to be the best, I was looking to get one also but for the good Simore one you are looking at paying 70euros which is far too much.

Unfortunately, the design of the Xperia means it is only possible to use Sim Adapters that chop the sim card to pieces and fit them in the size of 1 sim.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithUK:
I had an older dual-SIM adaptor that I've been using for the last couple of years. I tried it in the X1 and it worked okay (flight mode to switch). The problem was that it didn't support any 3G at all, so in a 3G area it was constantly attempting to get a 3G lock, dropping the signal, then trying to get a lock again. In the end I had to disable HSDPA.

Then I got a new SIM from O2. I just put the SIM in directly without the adaptor. BLAM! Better signal and HSDPA access. So I've been on the lookout for another adaptor that still allows for switching but supports HSDPA. I keep ending up at simore.ch as well and wonder if their "Black 1" is up to the task. I don't want to pay out €40 just to see if it works though... I need to hear from someone else who has bought one and used it for HSDPA access. :)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithUK:
It's the sim adaptor.

My old one does EXACTLY the same thing. It attempts to get a H or 3G lock, then loses the signal and recycles back again. It sounds like simore are just the same as the £6 one that I got from eBay 2-3 years ago.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sms2000:
I just cannot understand why it's so problematic to build a sort of cartridge (like those dual-SIM adapters) with two EEPROM of Flash elements inside and sell it together with a USB SIM reader-writer?

So any basic user could copy his/her two SIMs to this cartridge and skip all the mess with improper cutting and loosing two SIMs?

AFAIK any SIM could be fully read. Why it cannot be simply copied?

I've got very cheap dual sim adaptor (11th generation) and it fully works in new itje's ROM. I also copied STK from this ROM to memory card and tried it in older itje's ROM Touck-It 4.0 RC1.1 I could connect to internet via HSDPA and simply switch SIMs, so you don't need too expensive SIMORE adaptor.

Edit: I have tested internet connection short time and I didn't have signal lost, I'm out of credit right now but I will report more after I'll top-up and do more tests.

Simore dual SIM/USIM

I asked Simore's customer support about 3G/GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA compatibility.

Q: "I was very impressed to read about your product Dual SIM card

adapter and I'm considering buying one for my Sony Ericsson X1. However, it

is not clear to me if your adapter supports data traffic over the HSDPA

protocol (7,2MBit/s)?"

A: "The 3G/HSDPA speed depends on many different parameters (Mobile types, Software, SIM/USIM….). Reason why we can only warranty the Voice transfer over USIM. If you watch carefully our HTC TyTN II video, you will see that the 3G connection is activated. We believe that you will be able to fully use the UMTS function, but due to some Mobile limitation, we are sometimes forced to use the GSM mode."

I use Sim Max on my X1

it works great without turning on/off.(find it on ebay)

on my k800i it turned my phone off and on again restarting the whole menu.

ON X1 it just changes number without restart.

You can load up to 12 different phone numbers on one single sim card.

it comes with a cd and a usb device.

First you insert your sim into the device and rip(copy) it,with or without your sim contacts.

Then you put in the sim max sim and copy.

I have different providers on one sim now.

it places an app on your phone to swich easily between all numbers.

your original sim stays valid,but you don't need the original anymore,unless u loose your phone.

You can easily switch between numbers,but can not receive calls/sms on two nbrs the same time.

another is dualsim where you place two sims in your phone but the thickness gives problems on most devices.

I use the Simore Dual Sim Adapter (Black). It works. I tried a lot of Adapters an the very expensive adapter by simore is the only one, that works with X1. Unfortunately 3G doesn't work on the one SIM Card, I had to configure the X1 by chosing GSM, although both adapters are able to connect and work under 3G, if I use them seperatly in the X1.

I tried the SIMORE Platinum. Big mistake! Having cut my card to pieces (you have to cut all surplus plastic off your SIM card, leaving just the gold contact area) I found that once mounted on the Simore unit it was still too fat to fit into my Blackberry 9000 Bold. Having struggled to get it in, the phone reported no SIM card installed. I removed and checked the contacts, switched the two SIMs and even tried in another mobile. Nothing worked. Simore took two days to reply to my request for help. They have been useless! Their last suggestion was to sandpaper the SIM cards for better contact. At that point I decided enough was enough and asked them to replace the unit or issue a full refund. Their reply: no to both because they would not be able to sell the Simore to anyone else.

Be warned – use this company/product at your peril. Remember, you effectively destroy your SIM cards in the process.
