[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] keesh_x:
I tried unlocking bootloader with unlock.ops method without the unlock code but for some reason that didnt seem to seem to work and caused the device to be stuck in fastboot loop which made me come here.

Just wanted to confirm one thing regarding this method. Will this work for a modified imei as well ? do i have to send my original imei to oneplus or the changed one ? Cuz when i bought my phone, it was already changed to a different one. Just wanted to know of the possibility if using an unlock.bin on a changed imei can cause the device to brick ?

EDIT: For anyone whos going to stumble here, No it didnt brick the device or anything like that and yes it will work with a modded imei as well. Just send the original one to oneplus for unlock token, chears
[OnePlus Nord N20 5G] bibikalka:
So what was the conclusion on this? Was network locked N20 unlockable? Or network unlock is needed first to get to a proper working modem after bootloader unlock?

Did the radio issue go away at some point?

I'd like to unlock my N30, and want to figure out how long to wait for it.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] BrandonKastning:
Has anyone here at XDA been able to successfully root this device in my current configuration w/o paying for Bootloaders?

I've never purchased a Phone I wasn't able to root using XDA-Developers super phone hackers.

Besides all the awesome reasons to have my Phone rooted and Custom Images w/o Bloats. I am in a predicament and could use expert advise regardless of the answer of rootable with open source resources.

I'm a Constitutional American Law Student who is Independent and Disabled ...{Mod edit}

I use the application called "Call Recorder" from Android.

I contacted the developer and never received an email back. The app has a Pro version for $9 to upgrade since I cannot access the saved .mp3 files of my recordings.

What would you do in this situation? Does Win x64 Samsung Drivers + Backup allow for entire Android File System backup including hidden and chrooted files? If so that would be great news to secure my working image w/ inaccessible recordings in .mp3.

The $9 version allows to transfer to the cloud; however any elite eyes know the dangers of that and I can't think of another way at this time (very little experience w/ Samsung Backup on Win 64x); I always came here and found Bootloaders, voiding my warranty using Odin and then installing TWRP before proceeding to a full image flash using TWRP to install Custom Roms.

Seems like things have changed...

:(

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a special connection -> Female USB adapter and can switch USB Flash Drives, etc. I tried "Cx File Explorer" and "Total Commander", both failed to find the .mp3 files being saved using "Call Recorder" / Android.

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nabeeltariq:
Hi guys,

My pixel 5 died recently while playing a video. It will not turn on, nor make any sound. There is no haptic feedback as well when I start the device. The only time it is detected is when I boot it up in fastboot mode (Press and hold Power and Vol Down). It is detected as Pixel 5 on windows pc. It is detected under fastboot devices but I can't seem to do anything else with it. I am unable to get an adb connection. I don't remember if usb debugging was turned on or not on my device before it died, it most likely was enabled but can't get it connected via adb.

Note: The phone is bootloader locked

My question is can I recover my data from the phone through fastboot only without a working display?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Perhaps you could try booting into twrp and see if you can access the data that way?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nabeeltariq:
Thanks. I did try that but I can't really boot into recovery as the device is bootloader locked.View attachment 5657981
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Oh no. I hope someone can prove me wrong but I believe your only option now is to send it in for a repair.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
This. Without bootloader unlock, your chances of dumping partitions are zero.

@nabeeltariq Are you able to access stock recovery? You may be able to sideload an OTA package to get working again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Badumtss!:
Device: Samsung Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B)

Android version: 12

Previous Magisk Version: 24.3

Hi everyone, first time getting a rooted phone. At first, my problem was "Device is not Play protect certified" so I opened Magisk to configure the Deny List. After the reboot I checked SafetyNet but it is not yet certified (CTS profile match fail) so I updated Magisk to 25.1. Then once it reboots, it is now stuck at bootloop. Haven't done any debugging yet as I don't know ho to. I just installed ADB and Fastboot++ as a start. Don't know how to fetch the logs since its stuck in the bootloop.

Any help and guidance is appreciated, thank you!

I successfully unbrick my xperia 5 901so softbank version and downgrade it to Android 9.0 official Rom 55.0.e.

Full story here:-

I successfully install Android 11 on my xperia 5 901so.

I downloaded a Sov41 rom from xperifirm. Rom version is 55.2.b.

Then I flash it with newflasher tool to my xperia 5 901so.

While installation newflasher tool ask for some permissions

1. Gordon driver installation which I skipped

2. Trim area, I typed y for this. Then start flashing again. This time I skipped all steps. And I successfully managed to install Android 11 to non supported xperia 5 901so.

After sometime my device stuck in a restart loop. Then I force shutdown my device. Xperia companion not able to repair my software no other method work for me. Then I Downloaded the original firmware for my device and install it using the same above method. And thank God I successfully unbricked my device.
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
Hi Guys

Can you advise please?

I have been using the Touch HD for less than a week and this morning I went to try to load some stuff onto the SD Card and it can't be found.

Browsing the device from the Windows Mobile Device Centre shows only the Device storage, same thing from File Explorer within the phone.

I popped in a 2GB card I already had and that works fine.

I have tried the card in a couple of other devices and they can't see it either .... but I don't think they are HC compatible.

Is there anything else I can test or try .... or does it look like it's got to go back?

Thanks

Mal
[Touch HD General] ussi:
had the same problem when i loaded a "crack" onto the sd-card and executed it : card couldnt be found anymore. i hava also a nokia 6210 slide with a 256mb microsd card, so i put that into it and the hd and it worked. so, the problem must be the card, i thought, so i tried an easy solution: i put the 8gb microsd card into the nokia (it recognises it !) and format it in there (dont know where, but its easy to find). takes a couple of seconds and you are happy again ;-)

good luck and be carefull what chunk you put on your sd, har har
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
Well I didn't have anything hookey that I knew of but a reformat seems to have made it visible again.

[Touch HD General] xdaman85:
memory cards can become corrupt if your continuously moving data back and forth from it, and as you have figured, formatting most of the the times resolves this issue but not all the time as cards can become corrupt.
[Touch HD General] Mal Bridgeman:
Thanks I didn't know that .... I have been shifting some data around testing these infernal video formats .... so that could have been the cause.

I'll stick with my Archos till Coreplayer do their magic, it seems :)

[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Dean F:
Hi Guys,

Will there be an Xperia 10 IV forum on XDA? I have been using the phone about a month now, and keep checking here - but these is no such forum for the device on XDA.

Regards,
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] feux:
If it helps in any way, I rooted my 10 IV by following what this user did to their 1 IV.

I haven't installed a ton of modules though!
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] nozav:
It won't be helpful, but I'm very tempted by this phone, so I wonder if you would have any feedback. In particular, is the camera ok ? Did you manage to install a working version of gcam ?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] feux:
Yes I did! I tried out all of the versions found on the stable page, one or two would crash upon starting (can't remember which ones) but I settled for MSC's 8.1 apk since it had a toggle for ultrawide and option to use a third party gallery.

Here's two photos which are taken a few days apart (pre-root and post-root) - I can attest that the gCam is more color accurate based on my cat's fur, have to thank the Google AWB in the app for that :LOL:

View attachment 5658027View attachment 5658029

Though, the 8.1 apk is missing a normal x1 zoom toggle (only x0.6 and x2), will confirm in the future if I ever manage to get the time to try other versions again.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] nozav:
Thanks ! That's nice (almost as nice as your cat) 😀

Did the gcam port work with the telephoto lens ? And more generally do you find the telephoto lens useful / of good quality ?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] feux:
Thanks and yes! Out of the provided zoom toggles, I believe the x2 one uses the telephoto, so it has been my daily driver since rooting.

It's sufficiently sharp for my uses (in fact, the gCam photo above was taken using the telephoto). Here's two more shots I just took - one from 50cm, one from 20cm.

View attachment 5658237View attachment 5658239

I do have to hold very still though! Of course, it's a telephoto, and that my room's not very well lit, but I expect it should work much easier in brighter situations.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] nozav:
Thanks for taking the time to share these pictures, this is really useful. Both pictures look quite sharp.

This xperia 10 iv seems to tick many boxes for me : reasonable size, good screen, great battery life, decent camera with telephoto... I'm still waiting to see the reviews of the Pixel 6a, but it's very tempting.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] feux:
My pleasure! After my S9+ kicked the bucket, I was deciding between the 10 IV or the Pixel 5a as both had a headphone jack and a decent battery.

I ended up picking the 10 IV since it was newer, and that the battery seemed to last forever (which it does!).

You could also consider another upcoming alternative: the Zenfone 9. While the battery's smaller by 700 mAh and that there's no telephoto, it does seem very impressive for such a small package.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Amanthul:
If modules are like on 10 iii, try whitelist 4th or 5th module in gcam settings, it's equivalent for 0th module.

Developer says he had to disable 0th module due to crashing on some sony phones.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] feux:
Thanks for the tip, I tried this out on MSC's 8.1 and it actually revealed the normal camera! Well, I whitelisted both 4th and 5th modules, so x1.1 and x1.2 options appeared, but both appear to be at the same zoom level.

View attachment 5659841
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] MihaiA.:
Does someone know if the 10 IV has fm tuner hardware inside? The app clearly is missing. Is it region dependent, meaning the radio functionality depends on the firmware, or region dependent meaning the hardware is different? Usually the fm tuner is part of the wifi/bt chip, which in this case it`s a qualcomm WCN3990, which the manufacturer states that it does have digital fm. Tried different radio aps(fm ones, not online), none worked, still don`t know what to think of this issue. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] metaxda:
Although this is obvious, I would still ask if you tried with earphones plugged in ?

Radio apps do not work without earphones plugged into the 3.5mm socket :cool:
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] MihaiA.:
Hi, I usually repair electronics in my free time, including fm transmitters, so yes, tried with the headphones plugged in :cool:. Also tried spirit radio and some other app I can`t remember right now, that are for this issue, not from play store, couldn`t find anything useful there. Still can`t tell if this phone has hardware for fm. To mention, I have not rooted the phone. Will wait & see :giggle:. Other than this, nice battery time and pretty responsive device.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] refresh5:
fyi - maybe we get a device section - at least I posted it here 😉
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Kazuto_Marc:
I'm wondering does the 10 IV have any issues like it's predecessor (green/red tinted, flickering Screen)? Are there any other common issues.

Really considering buying it as the 10 III has these glaring display bugs unfortunately. But I wanna make sure the next phone I order isn't likely broken as well..

[Security Discussion] Phdintheory:
When someone steals a phone the first thing they usually do is a factory reset. "Factory Reset Protection" (FRP) is supposed to protect the owner by denying access to the phone unless the owners passcode is applied even if the phone has been reset.

One main problem with this form of protection is that once the phone has been reset the owner can no longer track the phone using the "Find my phone" app or any similar aftermarket application. Sure, the thief can't use the phone but the owner also loses all hope of ever finding their phone again.

But, what if there was some way to make sure that the Google account associated with the owner could remain associated with the phone even after a factory reset? This way the thief believes they have successfully reset the phone. They still can't use it unless they input the correct security code, but the owner can still track the phone once it has been powered back up and turned on.

Would something like this be possible to create?
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
Physical security is the only real security.

The price for my device is blood, the sweat is free. Avoid flashing your phone in public, eyes on your surroundings not your phone.

You can always blacklist the imei...
[Security Discussion] Phdintheory:
Yeah, but there are too many loser's out there happy enough to have an expensive phone of someone else's even if all they can use it for is wifi. Shoot, there are enough of them out there willing to steal your phone knowing that all it's going to be is an expensive paperweight. They don't care as long as they think they have something expensive.
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
That's why physical security is the only thing that really works.
[Security Discussion] Phdintheory:
Example of physical security please?
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
Keeping the phone with you at all times.

Either in your hand or pocket in unsecured locations. Watch the people around you, not the phone when playing in the real world. Think.
[Security Discussion] Phdintheory:
Okay, yeah. That's what I thought you meant. See, the problem is I do that religiously and I still lost my phone. In this case what happened is that it was in the inside pocket of my jacket. I bent over and didn't notice that it had slipped out. I had never had problems with that before so didn't think it would have been a problem then. Didn't notice the phone missing until I had gotten home. Tracked my phone to a location with lots of people. The thief turned the phone off and has obviously reset it because I can no longer track it.

So... Physical security still doesn't account for "**** happening."
[Security Discussion] Phdintheory:
Which brings me back to the original question. Couldn't a set of code be written that keeps the Google account tied to the phone even after a factory reset has been performed?
