Actually I didnt tested it, but it did showed me the screen on the right:

I've been actually trying to make it work on Clean Black rom V1. but it doesnt work, even after showing that screen... :(

I tried:

- OpalUSBtoPC.2.2.18191228.0.cab

- MBarvian Opal USBtoPC.cab

- HTCUSBToPCPopUp_2_0_18172128_1.cab

They all install ok, but simply wont work, I can manually call the UsbToPc.exe from the Windows folder and that screen appears, but if I select disk drive, it does nothing.

I've also seen other ppl in this forum complaining that it doesnt work for them too... any thoughts?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] The_severo:
It won't let me install any ROM or Zip, the error message is that I have to change slot (A/B). Any solution?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ayunatsume:
That;s not a hard brick.

That's a soft brick.

A hard brick is when its basically no-boot and almost no-power.

Change slot in TWRP. Also try to use a lower TWRP version (3.5.x). 3.6.x has been causing some problems with some ROMs. The old ones with tissot manager (-tm) might also help you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] The_severo:
Thanks. But not finding any solution I decided to use miflashTool and flash the stock ROM and now it works correctly

is it brick??
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BishalPo:
Your phone nothing happened that just a warning when your boot image file damage so Don't worry your phone not brick.

You can solved that issue easily if you press all your phone button, (Bixby, Volume UP, Volume Down, Power) your phone restarting. when restarting immediately press volume down and bixby to reboot phone to download mode. Just flash official firmware your problem solved.

You can fixed another method also,

When phone restarting by pressing all phone buttons, immediately press volume up and bixby to reboot phone to recovery that flash boot.img file.

How to get Boot.img

Extract the official firmware ap file you will get the boot.img.lz4

Use lz4 extract tool to extract boot.img.lz4

Next copy to boot.img file in your phone and flash from custom recovery.

If i can get a full reg dump. only the reg from HKLM..

there are missing entries in the rom I have and it will be easier for me to go though a full .reg dump then all of the rgus in a rom dump.
[S740, S743 General] sumitescp:
Hard Reset might help u?
[S740, S743 General] shadowmike:
i have a different device. so the rom was ported before the rose was even released.

so a hard reset will only install the reg with missing entries. if i get a .reg dump of hklm i can find my missing reg entries and get all of the 740 functions on my juno
[S740, S743 General] sumitescp:
740 functions on junO? is the hardware same?
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
@shadowmike

I own S740. If you provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform that dump, I would post those files.
[S740, S743 General] shadowmike:
Thank you,

Basicly all you need is a reg editor for windows mobile, which can be found here http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ if you don't already have one.

connect your phone to your computer using active sync.

open ce reg editor and connect to your phone.

the reg keys will be displayed in the left pane.

click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then EDIT > EXPORT, save the file

then zip the file and upload here :) thankyou for your help.
[S740, S743 General] shadowmike:
No not at all. I should have made my comment earlier more clear.

I want to get the OS functions on my phone. As the rom ported has alot of stuff removed. Like audiomanager homescreen plugin, htc email homescreen plugin, etc, etc. but we do have everything else from your phone on ours. like phonecanvas 2g.. thankyou :)

but obviously features like GPS and other hardware features that arnt on the OMAP850 will not work. But like i said, we have your rom on our device so put yours and mine next to eachother your just going to see a diffrent case :)
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
Here it is. I removed certain parts with personal information (I hope I haven't forgotten any).
[S740, S743 General] shadowmike:
Cool thank you. and dont worry about info. I have to much of a reputation at allshadow.com as the number 1 user and moderator to try and mess with somones personal info like a criminal. :)

like i said all i want to do is get all the homescreen plugins working correctly .. thankyou for your help. if you need anything just ask. you can run manila 2d on your phone. you can check my instructions in the juno section or over at allshadow.com

edit... nvm im dumb i wasnt thinking this was going to be a dump of a used phone. i should have....

but i now realize what you ment by removing personal info. I can use this. and none of your info was in my way thank you again.

Question. for you guys. does the htc favorites homescreen plugin update automaticly or are they preset ?
[S740, S743 General] spone1:
@shadowmike

As far as I'm concerned the HTC Favorites plugin is a live display of the IE favorites. But I am not entirely certain about that since I don't have a S740.
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
I don't use it and have it disabled on my (altered) sliding panels home screen, but I have just tried it and it seems to update automatically.

It has a bug, however. When I bookmarked new site, it was added to the panel, but panel page with that site lacked headline "Internet explorer", IE icon and right soft key functionality.
[S740, S743 General] shadowmike:
hmm thnks for the info. ill have to look into the reg alittle mor closely and see how it has everything updated automaticly.

Hello,

yesterday my tablet fell off to the ground. The display is black now, but the tablet still running.

It's still connected to my Wi-Fi and when I plug in the USB the PC finds it as well.

Now my question, what can I do to recover my data (bring it into transfer mode) or even better, how to connect it to a display?

I have Google Chromecast here, but I don't know how to connect it without seeing anything on the screen.

Can anyone help me out and give some ideas? :)

I use HTC Streaming Media to view Orange World's TV channels. It works fine, except for fullscreen. When I enter fullscreen mode, the video stays the same size, but is surrounded by a black border that takes up the rest of the screen.

Any help would be welcome!

Hi ryujakk,

Please check the preferences or options of "HTC Streaming Media". Check the video size option. If the video size is set to fixed, change it. Many times, there is always problem with video option.

[General Questions and Answers] AHuss123:
My Samsung A30 has a broken screen, I’m attempting to transfer all my files unfortunately the phone does not have the file transfer mode enabled so when I plug it in to my PC it’s recognised as a modem.

I’ve attempted to use https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy to display my phone so I can perform transfer operations unfortunately it requires USB debugging enabled which I don’t have.

I’ve also attempted connecting my phone to my TV via a USB hub though the phone model does not support HDMI output.

The phone is running as it is receiving calls with it vibrating.

Any thoughts on anything else I can attempt? I’ve already bought a new phone so not too keen on getting the screen replaced especially given there could be other issues.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the screen is broken and you did not have USB debugging enabled before it was broken, there is nothing you can do to retrieve your data except repair the screen or find a tech shop that has the tools and the knowledge to pull your data directly from the hardware chip itself.

You will not solve this yourself using only software.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Use a USB Type C to HDMI cable to your TV.

The Samsung A30 apparently supports it.

HDMI Alt Mode doesn't go through a hub.

Enable ADB and download.
[General Questions and Answers] AHuss123:
@Droidriven thanks, fair enough, I've ordered a screen and will attempt to replace it myself.

@Renate To enable ADB I need to enable USB debugging. Also doesn't seem like Samsung A30 supports HDMI output https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/connect-samsung-device-to-tv-via-hdmi/
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Oh, sorry, my bad. The internet will give you an answer to any question, usually wrong.

Is there any chance that you can find the hardware serial console on internal test points?

Then you just need to:

# settings put global adb_enabled 1

If your ADB was previously enabled, then you won't have to deal with the invisible acceptance screen.

If not you'll have to echo the public key into /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

(I just did this on my B&N Glow '21 when it factory reset and it blocked me with a mandatory OOBE setup.)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
For one, your solution is not a software solution, which is what I said, that they would not solve this with software alone. That is true and that is all I was saying.

Second, this solution is a hardware approach that the typical user has no experience with, which is why I didn't present them with an option that I am certain they are not comfortable with or experienced enough to attempt, as demonstrated by their attempts with software and unsupported HDMI and then stopping there to ask for help. An answer that more than likely seems more like a risk to them than a solution, isn't really helpful to them. I've helped with users dealing with this issue for years, I've learned that the vast majority of them are not comfortable with resorting to solutions that people like you and I would. With most of them, you may as well be telling them that they can solve their issue by biting a tiger on his ear, they are afraid of the solution. But, I understand, you have a proven, working solution, so you posted it, that is actually good, thank you.

That is why I said to repair the screen or take the device to a tech shop that has the experience and the tools(which requires opening the device to implement a hardware solution, as your posted solution also requires opening the device to implement a hardware solution) to retrieve the data for them(if repairing the screen is not their preferred solution, which obviously isn't). Also, Samsung isn't as simple as B&N hardware, Samsung has some tricky stuff when it comes to hardware, especially their Qcom versions, such as Qfuse(on some nodeld)and other tricky hardware designed to make tampering a real pain or even kill the device with built in components intended to kill the device if triggered. Their bootloader is pretty hard to get past without breaking into the hardware itself also.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Yeah, I know about Samsung, which is why I don't buy it.

In any case, if it's booted to Android, then Android generic solutions will work.

I don't have any idea if a serial port is accessible, but if it were, that would be an easy option.
[General Questions and Answers] AHuss123:
thanks for the advice guys, @Renate your solution is probably probably beyond my expertise though thanks for your comment, hopefully I can understand it better in future. I'm hoping to use this screen replacement as an entry point into mobile phone repair.

[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
I am a complete newbie and I am going to be spending the next 6 months in southern Laos. I need to use my HD as my primary internet communications device. I know that GPRs signal there is good and Edge services have just begun to reach the area I will be in.

Does anybody have any good recommendations or suggestions of programs that are stable they would load to the HD before going?

If I completely screw my device up what do I do? does clearing the memory take care of everything like it does on an iPhone? Is it possible to brick the HD easily?

I will be using the HD as a stand alone internet device as well as tethering. I will also use it to try to show the locals I little bit of tech. I know as stupid as I sound now you could question what I could even teach them.

Even so some of these people haven't seen a computer before. So some very basic stuff will go a long ways. I wish somebody better was going to go do this. I am not perfect for the task at hand but will try my best.

What sort of things would you do if you couldn't get more than GPRS if things went wrong? Are there any programs that could be used for educational purposes on this device? Bear in mind there are no projectors or anything else of that nature.

I have a Windows PC and a Mac to use and around a TB between internal and external storage. I am not even sure of what I am asking for here but what would you bring if you wanted to try to show people some basic things.

Some of the things I do include small slide shows (wghich sometimes do to no constant source of electricity can't be done on the laptops) for children which can be done on the HD or my iPhone. I also design buildings so people get a picture of what they are building and have helped draw out a bridge that spans the Mekong.

I forgot to add that there is only electricity there 3 hours a day if that adds some perspective. If this is the wrong place to ask for help then I am sorry.

I know my questions are a bit unusual but I am trying to make sure I am not missing some thing obvious. Is there something you would bring in addition to the items I mentioned. What am I forgetting?
[Touch HD General] SiliconS:
I've never heard of Laos but I assume from your description that it is somewhere in Yorkshire, right? If so then I suspect that the HD will be so far removed from the locals' normal frame of reference that it'll only confuse them. You'd be better off trying to introduce something more basic and useful like running water or nylon.

Interesting situation though. I didn't realise the UK carriers had signal in such remote and backward places.
[Touch HD General] maddie:
Just keep a backup of your contacts/messages etc with some backup tools you can find around, if anything goes wrong you can simply reset the device to its ex-factory settings.

For the other questions.. since I still haven't get my HD I don't have a clue yet :)

For battery issue, if the electricity supply is limited, I recommend you to turn off the mobile at night and try to make minimum usage of the phone since such a big screen, fast processor, loads of functions will drain the battery quickly with intensive usage.

By the way, Laos is a country in Asia. :)

How to Root Samsung Galaxy A33 5G – Six Easy METHODS!

If you want to get the most out of your Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, then rooting it is the way to do it. Rooting your Samsung Galaxy A33 5G provides you with

www.rootingsteps.com

https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-samsung-a33-5g/
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
The best rooting guide will always be http://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
Thank you @Zillion . Is that a complete guide from start to finish or only part of the whole process needed? (I'm total newbie)
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
It is all you need to root your phone ^^
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
Upon starting reading I can see that this guide does not explain how to use adb and fastboot, nor how to Unlock the Bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Tell me you didn't bother reading the guide without actually telling me :)

View attachment 5676113
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
We humans are not all made the same, so when presented with identical stimulae we act in different ways.

Some people(like me), when we start reading a tutorial that starts with this...

"Before you start:

-This tutorial assumes you understand how to use adb and fastboot

-If you plan to also install custom kernels, install it after Magisk

-Your device’s bootloader has to be unlocked"

... we interpret it like this: "You should NOT start(continue reading) this tutorial UNLESS/UNTIL you fulfil the criteria listed in the BEFORE YOU START" so we stop reading any further if we clearly do not fulfill the "before you start" criteria.

In 99% of the cases, this is the right and most logical choice, this seems to have been an exception.

Saying that I "didn't bother" implies that I was lazy when choosing, but it was just the opposite: Because I understood there was knowledge about stuff that I didn't possess, I went to look for and gain this knowledge in other places.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Ok, that's fair enough. I guess you only have 1 thing to learn then, which is how to use adb and how to download it to your PC. Ignore fastboot, doesn't work on Samsung devices anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
Fastboot is only present in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Yeah but for the purposes of rooting with magisk, fastboot is not needed in Samsung since Odin is going to do all the work (bless Odin you beautiful piece of software you)
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
I use OSX(Mac) but see that several of the tools mentioned, like Odin, only work in PC. What is recommended in this case? Should I install a virtual windows machine(i.e VmWare) for this purpose?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
I don't know if there's a Mac equivalent to Odin but it's pretty much the essential thing you need to work in order to root with Magisk so yeah I think you'll have to set up a Windows VM
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] twister26:
I'm an old android user and haven't been following the latest about rooting. Am I understanding you correctly: any phone can be rooted with this guide?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
Pretty sure it is an univeral guide
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Yes, as long as

1) You can unlock your bootloader to accept custom images

2) You have a way to use adb and fastboot (or in Samsung's case, adb and Odin)
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
Hi, I have followed the Magisk rooting instructions:

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

and I am now at the step of using Odin, which says:

"Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware"

Do I have Odin properly set as in my screenshot? And "flash" means now clicking on the "Start" button?

[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
Flashing like that will shrink your userdata partition
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
Ok, thanks, I don't know what it means "flashing like that will shrink your userdata partition". Does that mean that I did not properly understand what the guide is telling me to do?

If so, can you please point me what I am doing wrong and what should I do instead?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Zillion:
Flash like this instead:

BL - Firmware BL_* file

AP - magisk_patched-25200

CP - Firmware CP_* file

CSC - CSC [Will format data]
