You're welcome. Welcome to XDA🤗

Samsung is good for vids if you add some ad blockers from the Galaxy store. Just mind the download folder for unauthorized downloads.

Had a trojan preloader slip by Samsung somehow. It died in that folder🤭

When in doubt try to back out of a bad website, if that fails close the browser tab, if that fails close the browser. If all that fails clear cache. If nothing gets it go full nuke and clear browser data. For over 2 years nothing has made it in again... I check the download folder at least once a day nonetheless.

Brave gets tarded with vids on the borders and I like multiple browsers anyway. The Samsung browser I have more configured for streaming vids. Brave is better for surfing, it's pretty much bullet proof; nothing has ever slipped by it.

My Brave browser has over a hundred open tabs, it don't care🤣

I can relate—I've been down a similar rabbit hole myself. When it comes to finding the right browser, it's all about striking that balance between functionality and privacy. Personally, I stumbled upon OctoBrowser during my quest for a secure and efficient browsing experience. It's been a real game-changer for me, offering both speed and peace of mind. And as for email, I've found self-hosting to be a solid option, but it really depends on your preferences and technical know-how.

Hi everybody...

It used to be much easier to find the answer to something... but Google is all ads trash now.

I have seen the answers to this question all over the place. Out of days of searching, I have only gotten lots of bad info.

I really just want to know, for sure:

Is there any Samsung Fold 3 sold anywhere in the world, that you can root AND use in the U.S.?

And if so, what is the model?

TiA

It's right here in the forums man... :)

Models: SM-F926B / SMF926N / SM-F9260

How-To Find: How to find the Model: on your phone → Settings → About Phone → The third row says the Model number and you need to remove the part with the part of /xx, for example, SM-F926B/DS and you only need to type SM-F926B

The U/U1 Models that are sold in the US (Locked/Unlocked) are the ones that cannot be rooted at this time.

EVERY version can run in the US provided it's SIM UNLOCKED and has the right radios, but what I understand is that the 5G radios are the only difference and there are some international models that will work in the US, you just have to look and maybe read more. I have no intention of rooting my Fold 3 at this time, so I have not looked too much into this, but this is just what I found looking here on this forum and even just on the first page. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] AlienPDA:
Thanks. I knew I'd take a little heat. But as you can see, I've been here since 2009... and with a name like AlienPDA... you know what I started on. So I'm not noobing out, I'm just autistic and I like clear answers. Life was easier back then -=)

I am trying to replace a Nexus 6. I haven't found another phone that came close to its specs, (mind you, it's rooted and OC'd to the bleeding edge, 3GHz) in nearly a decade. The screen alone destroys most phones: Resolution, 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~493 ppi density), and two VERY CLEAR front-firing speakers.

And now that phones have a silly aspect ratio made for skinny jeans, it looked like I was never going to replace my Nexus.

The fold is the closest a phone has come, and with the Fold 4 coming out, the 3 is in a good price range. But I need root to run a few work programs and provide tether.

> EVERY version can run in the US provided it's SIM UNLOCKED and has the right radios, but what I understand is that the 5G radios are the only difference and there are some international models that will work in the US, you just have to look and maybe read more. I

That part is the part I was referring to in my post. The bands. I've stayed with my carrier all these years, because I have a grandfathered (true) unlimited data plan, and their coverage has the least holes. I know this is because of the bands... and I'd hate to create holes by dropping certain bands.

The nice thing about XDA, we're so big, usually someone has had to have tried XYZ setup.

But I haven't found a post, where someone:

bought a Fold 3, international,

rooted it,

and put it on a U.S. carrier.

So, seemingly, everything stated about the Fold 3, has been hearsay.

Here's an example:

AnnaNguyen said:​

Thank you William again I just did it and I confirm works on SM-F926U​

But... I personally, after reading that, tried the same thing, and it DID NOT work.

So... my option is then to make a new post...

"Samsung Fold 3 SM-F926U not taking root via Magisk"

And then someone will reply... "We already told you that U.S. Fold doesn't take root"

But, but... I mean... it's right there. She said she did it??? Right?

Your reply was, "the info is everywhere, you just need to look..."

Your reply

> The U/U1 Models that are sold in the US (Locked/Unlocked) are the ones that cannot be rooted at this time.​

On the first page of the link YOU PROVIDED:

> Thank you William again I just did it and I confirm works on SM-F926U​

So...

Do you understand my confusion perhaps?

Apparently either you or Anna are wrong.

But if Anna is wrong, then my question stands.

I'm not dumb, I just cannot make informed decisions on conflicting information.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] scottusa2008:
Totally understand why that might be confusing, but if in doubt look at the thread title.

If the root method included the SM-F926U/U1 model it would have been listed. Since it's not then it is a fair presumption that the model was not included.

As for if the phones will work in the USA will depend on the bands they support. The models SM-F9260/B/N were originally designed and sold with other regions in mind, so they may lack certain bands for use in the USA. You will have to research the bands supported on the 3 models and compare them to the bands your carrier uses.

I know it's not a specific answer to your question but it is a recent experience. A previous phone I had (note 20) was an international model and I can say that it did work, but only in a very generic way. It had limited band support for my carrier so it didn't work that well. Suffice it to say I didn't keep the phone and I returned it. While I had wanted to root the phone in all honesty it would be pointless if I wasn't able to get good performance out of it on the cell network.

Do remember... Talderon's reply to me:

> It's right here in the forums man... :)

Is it? Is it?

Let's pretend I am an AI... and I am being programmed solely by this fora.

It's a bit more than confusing...

[it is easy, from a human perspective, you're presuming a point of "starting", we all 'started our life on this planet', some X time ago, and have a corpus of knowledge thusly].

But the AI, it's newly born. All the info on here, IS the point of starting.

So, referentially, regardless if the title of that post is limiting the models that it applies to, how do you decide then, that saying it works on "U", isn't NEW information to be added to canon, especially since the author of the thread himself, thanked the person, and didn't correct them.

So IS IT REALLY in the forum, if it's miscible with bad info?

I reread the thread and there really isn't anything in there that debunks it works on "U". Why would the OP thank a person that obviously stated an incompatible model?

I mean, I know personally it doesn't work, now... but if I am being told that the information I seek is on this forum, but the information is bad, how is any of this helpful? I am right back at the question I posed, unanswered unequivocally by the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] scottusa2008:
Keeping this as basic as possible.

1. The SN-F926U/U1 models are not rootable at this time. Anything else said to the contrary should not be believed, debated or given a second thought.

2. It is unknown if a root method for the SN-F926U/U1 will ever be found. If you do not see any threads about work being done on a root method then it means no one is working on one.

3. If and when the SN-F926U/U1 becomes rootable someone will post the method and instructions for use. The thread title will clearly say SN-F926U/U1. Only when you see the threat and flood of people posting about successfully using said method should you consider the information as valid.

4. The international models were built and designed to function and connect to cell networks outside of the USA. The bands they support will vary some depending on the model

5. USA carriers may/might allow a sim/network unlocked international model to connect to the carriers cell network. However it is up to the carrier to determine what services and features are supported.

6. You need to research the cell network bands your carrier uses. Then look up the bands the fold 3 models your thinking of using. Using that information find the model that works on the most number of bands used by your carrier.

7. You can also call your cell carrier, provide the model number(s) your interested in using and ask them is the model supported and what features will or won't work.

8. Because of internatonal carrier and hardware differences you should not expect or have any expectation that an international model will have the same performance level as that of a model designed and sold for use in the USA.

9. If no one has posted the information you seek it means that either of the following is true:

*what your asking doesn't work

*No one has tried what you are asking

*You need to adjust your search terms

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

Well... Shouldn't someone maybe then remove the post where someone claims that they successfully rooted the SN-F926U, so people don't buy the SN-F926U thinking it can be rooted?

I kinda feel like this is where the "gap in understanding" is at.

--- I want to do X, can I?

"Just look in the forums your answer is there"

--- Well it says I can do X here.

"That's not right, ignore that... but everything else is accurate"

--- ??????

Mods have the ability to remove incorrect info right?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] scottusa2008:
As a forum of various members from all over we are required too exercise common sense and reasoning when we read the forum and apply the tools, instructions and methods. Even the thread in question indicates one needs a "Galaxy fold 3 and common sense'.

For example if one is not ready to accept the risks and consequences (i.e. Knox being disabled and apps not working because they require Knox) they should not root a device.

Another example is where one post is made where someone says it works on the U model by extension does not make that one post to be true. Especially when you take into consideration other pieces of information like it has been stated numerous times already the U/U1 is not rootable, the thread title not including U/U1, the requirement of the root process listed that OEM unlocking in developer options menu be present (which the U/U1 models do not have), and no other thread exists detailing how/with what (and proof that the method works) to root the SM-F926U/U1.

Also I disagree that an understanding gap exists.. Even with that one post left alone enough content already exists that (and even this thread) will address any further issues about it.

That all being said if you want to discuss it further you should contact the forum moderators via PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ImWarped:
Ok... For one, you didn't post enough information to answer your question.

There are 2 variants of the Nexus 6, XT1100, and XT1103, and they themselves have different band coverage.

Additionally it would be in your best interest to start with the bands your carrier uses, not what the phone supports. You have a grandfathered plan, there will be bands that will almost certainly be locked out from your plan's coverage. Chances are your Nexus is only using one or two, start with *#*#4636#*#* and see what bands you're currently using, then check if a fold supports it.

[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] JayAbbhi:
So I was looking into a new phone I could buy new, had a headphone jack and telephoto lens, and maybe stereo speakers, and came across this phone.

I noticed that the Edge has weekly lineageOS builds too, so I was wondering how is the phone 2 years after release?

- Does performance degrade significantly when on ROMs?

- How is battery life?

- How's the camera, and is there a gcam apk that can use all the lenses?

- what features would I lose if ROM'd the device, and is their any ways to reinstall them or get mods (like thru magisk) to get them back?

For context, I'm coming from a Pixel 3a, and cross shopping with an S10/+/5g and an A72 (4g)
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] xe500linux:
Old thread but for anyone else looking to buy in 2023, as it's cheaper than budget phones brand new:

- LineageOS is noticeably smoother than the stock ROM, whether that's actual performance or just animations is hard to say since it's Android 11 vs 13 (LOS 20.0), but I've never had any slowdowns at all really. Phone is very daily-able

- Battery is good, no problem lasting all day with moderate use; you'd have to try pretty hard to kill it all in 1 day.

- Camera goes back and forth between great and mediocre depending on what you're shooting. The 64MB lens is hit or miss; Wide-angle and macros are great, overall colors look close to RAW so not a lot of fake saturation which is either good or bad depending on what you want. I've only tried one Gcam on stock A11 and I'm pretty sure all the cameras worked, but that same build crashes on A13/LOS20. I haven't tried any others since Moto cam is fine for me.

- Lineage for this phone uses the stock Moto camera app & ports all Moto Actions such as flashlight chop/etc., so you really don't lose anything except edge display customization, but that's pretty easy to live without IMO.

I was trying to buy a new S20 and root it, but when the "brand new" one I ordered was updated past bootloader unlock eligibility, I went for one of these (saved $100-200) and I plan on using it for another 1-2 years, and then I think I'll keep it as a backup/music phone.

It's Achilles heel is definitely the screen, the green tint artifacts are truly terrible but only on certain shades of grey - and if you use substratum to make everything AMOLED black, you will never notice it (apart from when a video has those certain colors of grey).

I have been using many kitchens over the past year. Cooking horrible roms, decent ones and now a pretty good one. My problem was always the various tools lying all over my hard drive. Luckily I came across this litte gem by Ervius

Package Tools and BuildOS rolled into one. I also noticed that it handles rgu files much better than the previous BuildOS, it choked on an incorrect rgu file. Which in turn allowed me to get Video working in HTC Album 2

I have modified the batch files for our Wizards and have been cooking and im loving it

PackageTools+BuildOS (Latest combined version)

rgu-2-xml : Convert .rgu to provxml files

SYSVersion : Generates a version list of your SYS Folder

All the usual build tools :G'Reloc, M'Reloc, ImgFS Tools

AllPackagesToOne - Protect your rom from being ripped apart and the whole world being able to share in your utter cooking brilliance, via a tickbox ofcourse

Automatic Find and Fix duplicate file errors during BuildOS process

More features which I am either too lazy to list or dont use at all

Just add SYS,ROM and OEM folders. It also have a nice feature which allows you to select OEM Packages and save it as a preconfigured rom. Extra OEM packages can be placed in a Packages folder. BuildOS will load those files also (No more OEM's all over your hard drive).

BuildOS also runs G'Reloc during the dump process, but for good measure I also included it in the batch file.

Also added -conservative to the Imgfs Tools portion of the script to protect against overcook

BuildOS generates pretty log files which shows where stuff went wrong

Extract the zip file. Run Kitchen.exe and watch the magic at work.

Note

For some reason the output window text is black on a black background, but at the top is a nice running status. If not sure just hilight the output window.
