[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] AstarOfDavid:
Is it possible to Flash a US PDA S10e with a specific Canadian carrier PDA firmware to use in Canada?

To be specific I was considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S10e (PDA G970UZBAXAA) and then flashing it with a Canadian PDA firmware such as G970WVLU6IVD3.

-->I mean in theory ODIN should just flash the firmware updates and work since these phones should be identical hardware with the only difference being the firmwares. And once the firmwares are all changed to the Canadian versions then the phone will work on the Canadian network that firmware was designed for correct?

(Not sure I can include links but here is one of the examples for firmwares I was considering https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10e/firmware/SM-G970W/XAC/download/G970WVLU6IVD3/1649439/ )

I have rooted my phone and was using greenify. I also greenified play services and so play store stopped working. So I uninstalled every google service/app.

How can I restore the stock play store and google services that came with phone? They are stored somewhere inside the phone I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] aiSanaul:
Download micro Gapps according to your phone's Android version and specifications.

Flash the downloaded zip using recovery and The problem is solved.

Thanks 😊

@ai.Sanual Can I flash pico gapps for play store only? I just need google play store to install and update apps.

I don't need any background service. I will update them as and when needed.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] aiSanaul:
As it said failed to set-up open Gapps, there may be problem with TWRP. Please use latest TWRP recovery compatible with your phone and also confirm that you downloaded right zip file for your phone.

Drop Your Phone's specs so I can give you correct links.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] aiSanaul:
pico zip is correct but use this version of TWRP here

Also first root your phone by install Magisk v23 zip and then install the Magisk v23 apk file manually. (files attached below)

Then flash gapps zip, you can unroot after installation of gapps zip by tapping uninstall button in Magisk apk you installed before.

I have already rooted through supersu. Should I unroot first or can I directly install magisk? I didn;t get it though why magisk is required. Gapps can be flashed directly using TWRP, no?

Where can I get the stock boot partition? Will my smartphone start if I restore only stock boot partition without restoring stock system partition?
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] aiSanaul:
have you installed the recovery i said to install?

unroot super su first then install magisk, btw

try after putting all zip files in internal storage before installation

[Huawei P50 Pro] karkand:
Hello everyone,

I am using Huawei P50 Pro Global version with latest EMUI. Which running with Snapdragon 888.

I am using Franco Kernel Manager which I was used on previous Android phone to customize kernel configuration, but now without root we can still use it to monitor our Battery and CPU info. And the idle temperature for the CPU is about 35-37 celcius here without Air Conditioner in Jakarta, ID.

And I just took some photos for less than 15 or 10 picture, it will quickly reach 40 celcius or more, then the camera performance is very poor just like cheap xiaomi device with watercolor, it is so very very bad. So I need to cool it down to below 40 celcius to make the camera performance better again.

Is it just me or anyone else face the same issue?

It is a second phone that I bought from ppl, not the store, but still in warranty for the next 6 months.

If it is really phone issue, not the temperature issue, then I might bring this to the service center, but if anyone else here also face the same issue, maybe we should invest with phone cooler like Flydigi B5 ? I am currently using Flydigi B1, but the vibration of the fan makes the Image swinging in camera, I think it is because of OIS. And with Flydigi B1 only keep the temperature to 40 celcius, I was using Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, it would reach 33 to 35 celcius. Is that so bad with the back cover of this Huawei?

FYI, I already turn it into Power Saving mode and disable almost everything but it still won't lower the idle temperature, and getting lower than 40 celcius is not easy, it would takes 5mins or more.

Regards.
[Huawei P50 Pro] karkand:
now i just purchased phone cooler Flydigi B5 to overcome any heat on phone and it really useful that with smart and balance mode it can reach 29celcius degree in cpu temperature in a normal room temperature about 26 celcius..it might be cooler like 20 celcius with overclock features, but we may not need it that way, maybe on the outside will do
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dhatw:
I am getting very impatient now, I keep finding tidbits that indicate Rogers will be getting the Diamond soon but nothing official. Anyone else hear anything?

Dhatw.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dhatw:
Okay, I will answer my own question. I was at a Best Buy Mobile in Markville Shopping Center and they had a dummy Diamond and the sign said "comming soon". It is as I have heard from a tech rep at Rogers, the original thin hard black back (900 Mah battery) and has the front facing camera. The salesman didn't know when it would be out, but since he had the dummy figured there was no reason not to put it out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fdo211:
Diamond for Telus

I am aware that there's a Diamond version for Telus. I doubt that Rogers will roll out a Diamond since they already carry the Iphone and BB Bold. I am waiting for the price to drop and buy the GSM version since they come in Quad-Band as well is a plus!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dhatw:
Well, unless I have been lied to by several people, Rogers is getting it soon. Best Buy Mobile in Vaughn Mills said their Rogers rep was in a few weeks ago and it is part of their "Holiday Hype" promotion. A customer tech rep at Rogers said he was on technical training and the phone had the hard plastic back and the front facing phone. And I was at a retail outlet the other day and a salesman had a photo copy of the "Holiday Hype" phones and the Diamond was on it. Now, I suppose it could be a a big conspiracy but if it is they have done a good job of leaking tid bits of information because not all the sales locations know about it. Plus, why would Best Buy Mobile be given a dummy phone by the HTC rep to display and have a "comming soon" sign attached to it?
[FYT Android Head Units] yihinlau0988:
Lately i have installed my first Android HU - UIS7862 4+64 model.

In the beginning i thought its like any other Tablet / Phone, that i could install any Launcher from play store. So i tried Nova, Vivd launcher. Every thing works, but very soon i found it retrieve back to the stock launcher randomly (it does really random, sometimes when i click back, some times home button).

At this point i thought may be these Chinese unit does not works right with 3rd party launcher? so i uninstalled all 3rd party ones. Now i am on the stock Launcher.

i selected a theme call 'UI16" in factory settings menu, and here comes the weird part. This stock launcher also has random reset to another theme, which i recognize is 'UI13' in factory settings. i have been stuck with this issue since then, being so frustrated with it...

Here's what i have tired and didn't resolve the issue.

1. Select UI in factory settings (UI16, UI13 etc..)

2. Settings > apps > default apps > launcher (from here i see multiple Launcher 3)

3. Settings > apps > Found all 'Launcher 3' > wipe their data (i see all my app Icons, widget settings are gone)

4. Tried to flash a launcher via USB script according to 4PDA (eventually this one show as 'UI08' in factory settings; And added another 'launcher3' in App list)

i ran out of ideas, did someone had faced the same situation? all i want is a stable launcher, do not jump around on me randomly..

Thanks.

Here are the info of the HU

Read forums and enjoy
[FYT Android Head Units] ludditefornow:
OP,

If you have the Vivid launcher or any other known launcher, it should appear in the Android settings as an option to choose as the default launcher. You may like to try the Microsoft launcher. That launcher - from memory - will ask if it wants to set as default launcher on first run.

Microsoft Launcher also has a shortcut to Android settings in it's settings.

Post back on how you get on.
[FYT Android Head Units] ziddey:
Try modifying your config.txt to specify the launcher you want as ro.fyt.launcher. Or maybe comment it out / remove it altogether. You can find it at /oem/app/config.txt. If you're rooted, you can modify this in-place. Otherwise, you'll need to research how to flash it: see 2nd post, section VIII https://xdaforums.com/t/general-fyt...unisoc-ums512-q-a-mods-tips-firmware.4396339/

I only just set mine to nova a few hours ago, but so far it's persisted across a reboot.

I don't recall this behavior in the past, but just updated the firmware on mine and it's been driving me crazy.
[FYT Android Head Units] yihinlau0988:
All, Thanks for the reply. appreciate the help!

I don't have Root and i am in the process of asking for original firmware from the seller. Before that, honestly i am afraid to modify / delete anything via adb.

Current situation is, i have "factory reset" the HU from factory menu, that wipe all 3rd parties apps, but not the 'UI08' i flashed.

Since then the launcher seems to be able to stay at UI08.

@ludditefornow, I think i have did that somehow. apart from 3rd and 4th pic i posted in the original post, also tried to use some sort of 'hidden menu' apps to open up Android's default setting page. From there it basically gave me the same setting page of pics that i posted.

Also i have tried to ADB "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN", that would call a pop up window on the screen let you select defauly home app. If i remember corrently Nova has similar step during install. Apparently none of mentioned worked.

@ziddey, thanks. i will see what my config.txt looks like. changing "ro.fyt.launcher = xxxxxx" seems promising.

in my observation, in /oem/app, other then "com.android.launcherxxx" apk files that came with the firmware. There is also another item called 'launcher3'. Which i suspect this 'launcer3' is a scheduled task running in the background and trying to keep whatever theme (like UI08) that user selected in factory settings alive.

Other then that, from all my screen pics there is an extra icon on the right of home button (screen's top left). That i have not seen in other Android unit. i kept thinking this what 'launcher3' do as well.
[FYT Android Head Units] ziddey:
Nice. For what it's worth, I can confirm that changing ro.fyt.launcher resolves the issue. Next time I update/wipe, I'll try just removing that prop entirely.
[OnePlus 9] Shanebacchus:
Greetings, so I recently upgraded my phone to oxygenos12 and it came with a lot of glitches and I hate it. Try to flash back oxygen11 and realised the bootloader is locked. So I tried downloading back the unlock token for the phone from my email and the oneplus token page keeps coming up blank with no token download. I saw you have to be logged in to download it and I did the same and I get the same blank page. what's really going on here? I really need oxygen11 back since this 12 here isn't supporting my two sim cards and my cellular data isn't working!!!!
[OnePlus 9] st3wart:
OnePlus page must be down. I’ve been trying to get on there for the last 12 hours.
[OnePlus 9] Allen Evan:
I have been trying this too,, it's coming blank.. like what's happening here I just get my new phone which is t mobile varient
[OnePlus 9] st3wart:
Website is still down for me. I contacted OnePlus and they went on the routine of trying to make me fill out for another unlocking token and telling me it’s 7 days blah blah blah. They weren’t getting the fact that their website is broken. Finally after 30 different screen shots and copied links they finally understood. Hopefully the IT team can get the page back up asap
[OnePlus 9] Ratchet Russian:
Still blank for me. Just my luck... I've been putting off rooting my oneplus 6t for so many years and finally decided to do it...
[OnePlus 9] Vmo x:
Hi you shouldn't need a token to unlock bootloader for OnePlus devices.

You should also have OEM unlock enabled in developer options.

Fastboot OEM unlock
[OnePlus 9] celo0735:
I have also been trying to reach the site and is coming out blank ,I have to tryng to get my token since yesterday.Just tried and still not working.Does anybody know a work around to this like another address thats working?Or is it just i wait game till its up again.
[OnePlus 9] celo0735:
Good morning sir have you been able yet to get on the unlocking token site?Cauese i just tried and still coming up blank.I dont know what to do now t o get my token to unlock the boatloader.
[OnePlus 9] meeseeks1:
Same problem here.i talked to Oneplus using their chat service and they are saying they are working on it.

Not sure how long it will take to restore service?
[OnePlus 9] mister_g13:
also blank here (NE USA). since 08/11/2022

i tried with a foreign vpn and instead of a blank page i received a oneplus custom 404 error

if you inspect the code of the unlock_token page. all the code looks like it's there

my OP tech support says the link doesn't work because i won't send me phones imei # over email... BIG DERP tech support at our service
[OnePlus 9] mister_g13:
this is inncorrect for the TMOBILE variant. FOR TMOBILE ONLY.... the oem unlock option is only so you can retrieve the unlock code. once you receive the token you will be able to flash it and fully unlock the phone.
[OnePlus 9] st3wart:
I still haven't been able to get on the site. It's still broken here for me. I talked to chat support multiple times and it takes some convincing that the site is actually broken. Then I send them links and screenshots and they say they will send it over to IT.. but is been almost a week and nothing has been fixed... I asked them it they could send me my unlock token file in a email and no response lol
[OnePlus 9] clustercluck:
This is my first experience with one plus and it's not so good the phone is good but the tech support sucks nobody seems to know anything about why the page is broken or when it will be fixed or for that matter any way to deal with this token crap.
[OnePlus 9] meeseeks1:
Looks like OnePlus doesn’t give a ****.this is ridiculous
[OnePlus 9] clustercluck:
I just got done with chat support was able to drag some info out apparently the support department has only received a communication from the team handling the token page issue with please give more time. I have a feeling that they have no idea what's going on and have a complete communication breakdown so who knows how long this is gonna take. I only received the generic answer of please give another 24hrs for a response "I won't hold my breath" in the meantime dose anyone know a bypass for getting around this token nonsense?
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
Wrong!!! The T-Mobile variant requires a unlock token. Only the factory unlocked version does not.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
There is no way. I've been looking everywhere and there is nothing that says how to bypass it. If this doesn't get fixed tomorrow, I'm sending phone back and not getting a t-mobile variant ever.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Technically it is the T-Mobile software that's triggering that. If you convert it to global or EU, you don't need it, but you get stuck having to have root to get data working (software thinks the phone is dual SIM and it breaks it). Also, if your device is SIM locked, it's stuck that way unless you flash back to T-Mobile firmware to unlock it.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
Well what your saying is not possible because in order to flash firmware, you need to have the bootloader unlocked so NO!!!
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Nope, just an MSM Tool that can flash a T-Mobile variant. I don't know if one exists for the 9 but there is one for the 9 Pro that you can use to get to EU software and then use the global 9 downgrade package to get back to proper 9 firmware.

[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
I have the 9 pro and I don't see that existing anywhere? I already looked for something like that.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
I literally just posted the link to it...
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
I saw it but there is a serious risk of hard bricking, not sure I want to take that chance, then I'm left with a paperweight.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
No such thing as a hard brick when MSM Tool is around really. That's the whole point of the MSM Tool. It's a low level recovery tool, just back up the listed partitions just in case (but it's literally never been an issue for me).
[OnePlus 9] clustercluck:
I am trying to do this with a n10 5g I don't see any options for this model will msm work for it to?
[OnePlus 9] clustercluck:
Nevermind the page is up now. How about that there is justice in this world.
[OnePlus 9] st3wart:
Website is back up and running for me!
[OnePlus 9] mister_g13:
back in action. thanks for the commiserating lol
[OnePlus 9] mister_g13:
the MSM tool does only need ADB and qualcomm drivers to do a full restore. so yes in theory you can go to international without the unlock.

**BUT**

you have to find the international variant of the msm tool for your phone model. i am looking for nord n200 international and only seem to find tmo

[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
Well it looks like I am hard bricked so this was a bad idea. I followed the instructions, was able to unlock bootloader but after several updates I flashed the T-Mobile modem bin file as it states and now phone does nothing. I got it back into EDL but if I try to flash again, it gives me a Sahara communication failed error in MSM Download Tool and can't flash anything so I'm guessing I'm f**ked.
[OnePlus 9] mister_g13:
The comm error i believe is because you need to use a basic USB 2.0 cable (factory cable). And make sure it's directly plugged into the computer, Not through a hub. Plus the qualcomm drivers while in edl mode
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Sahara error generally happens when you aren't quick enough. In the MSM Tool, click Start before you connect the phone so it's looking for the phone when you connect it. Take the phone, hold volume up and volume down for just a couple seconds, plug the cable in. It should automatically be seen as long as your drivers are correct.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
I was able to get past that error by unchecking sha check but now I'm getting a file mismatch error.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
I figured out my problem. I was on the wrong firmware. I thought I was on Global but I was on EU, which is Europe so I flashed the right image and I'm back up and running. Any one know if there is any way out of this firmware, like going back to T-mobile or Global or am I stuck? Thanks for help, I appreciate it.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
You can use the downgrade packages and the APK in the pinned post to get back to global firmware. I wouldn't recommend going back to T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
The problem I have though is I have no phone service with EU, Global or India. I tried the Magisk data fix but all that does is give me text messaging but data and calls don't work. My only other option is downgrade back to Android 11 when it was working fine. I can't even use custom roms, phone bricks.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Weird that it doesn't work for you. You're not flashing the radio when you install the fix, are you? The radio is for the 9 Pro, the 9 just needs the zip installed in Magisk.
[OnePlus 9] TheSayaMan:
I actually have the 9 pro and I install the zip and all it does is what I stated. If I don't, it says I have no sims even though I have one.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah, it sounds like you're not locking the radio in first... There's a whole ridiculous process to get that model working right. Honestly I would cut my losses and sell it and get a global variant.

You have to use only the linked MSM Tool apparently.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GivIn2It:
My pixel stand 2 has a fan built in. The software has limited options for it's functionality. I use the phone nearly continuously as a hotspot on the stand. It gets quite hot, and I am using acca to keep charging between 40 to 80%. I suspect the pixel stand's fan isn't really responding to the phone's temperature, but doing it's own weird Google ****. If Google would give the option of 100% fan speed continuously my problem would be solved. My intention is to rule this device to MY specifications. I plan to open the device and direct wire it's fan to run at full speed continuously. My question to the community is: how to wire the fan to the existing internal circuitry to make this happen? My usual, non elegant solution would be to just power the fan from an external adapter. But this results in multiple power strips with multi plug adapters, an electricians nightmare. YouTube shows some teardowns, but no voltage pinout points.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm sorry to say that I don't have any advice on this. I don't even own a wireless charger, but I especially understand using one in your circumstance.

I just wanted to comment because what you want to do reminds me of things that I do all the time with other (usually, computer) hardware that I don't like how it works, and figuring out ways to keep things as simple as possible, but yeah, no idea about the Stand 2.

Good luck!
