[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Lvmycorcor:
I have been an XDA member/ reader for over 10 years but this is the first time I think I have ever asked a question.

I have a Tab A 510 WiFi that I rooted back in Dec 2019. Since then I have done no other updates except to my installed apps. I want to basically unroot it and install updates that are desperately needed. I then want to reroot it correctly. Plus install a Android ROM that is a much newer version. When I originally rooted, I am pretty sure I didn't get the process correctly done. I have been running it with TWRP, and MAGISK, installed but I am pretty sure I didn't use the correct kernel or build. The tablet has been slowly loosing app compatibility with newer apps. I really just want to start fresh. I also want to remove system apps that are unneeded.

Is the best way to just reset the device, then let it update to the most current security and Android version then reroot it? I have rooted multiple devices in the past but for some reason on this tab A, I have been intimidated by kernel versions and build numbers so I have just ignored any OS updates and have kept the option in settings to automatically update turned off. And have really done nothing with TWRP. I am pretty sure the version is way out of date on my tablet.

Will resetting, updating to correct build and kernel and then rerooting following the directions posted work still? I just want to make sure that what I end up with is an updated and easier to manage tablet. I know how to unlock bootloader, and how to use Odin. And can follow the instructions for in the forum for rerooting. But, I have not been able to find this question answered anywhere in the Tab A forums.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

The build numbers I have is *** treble_a64_bvS-userdebug 10 QQ2A.200305.003 200314 test-keys**** my kernel is ****4.4.111# 2 Sun Mar 1 15:16:12 PST 2020 and my security patch level is from November 1, 2019. And serial number is *** R52MA0ZH01R****hope that is enough information to at least show how out of date the system is.

I have updated to the latest version of Android 13. After that the phone keeps boot looping on startup. It gets stuck on the white screen with the G and the loading never ends.

After a while it doesn't restart anymore and got stuck on the fasboot view.

I tried these solutions but none solved my problem:

- Wipe data / Factory reset

- Google online flash tool

- Sideload

All the above options are successful but then the phone freezes on loading.

Do you have other solutions on how to fix the problem?

The Bootloader is unlocked

I received my $200 Credit from the Pre-Order.

When I attempt to use it, all I get is a message “Sorry, you are not eligible for the coupon”. Does not work on Samsung.com, or the Samsung Shop app.

Has anyone who received the pre-order credit actually able to use to to buy anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Flame Red:
I see - the credit is just for accessories...

I used it to buy a Galaxy Watch5.
[Google Pixel 6] $ROGAL$:
Fingerprint scanner is very convinient, but not that much secure as PIN or password. Is there any way (preferrably for non-rooted Pixel 6) to force my phone to periodically ask for a PIN or password to unlock (once every hour or afrer X mins of inactivity or so), but still keep a fingerprint unlock on? I know I could schedule to reboot my phone, but the phone would be unavailable during reboot (no phone calls) and I think I would need some third party app to save and restore notifications (which can be lost during reboot). Any suggestions?

My aim is to prevent someone to force me to unlock my phone with a fingerprint. They could use a force to put my finger on the fingerprint scanner, but no one can get a PIN out of my head. Yeah, I'm paranoiac - there's no need to remind me ;p
[Google Pixel 6] Aks:
In that case, best and only solution is to stop using fingerprints. Just use pin and turn on notification history.
[Google Pixel 6] $ROGAL$:
And what about available options for this matter on rooted phones? Is there any way to force Android to lock a phone with a PIN after X minutes? I don't want to stop using fingerprint scanner completely, but at the same time I don't want it to be the only screen unlocking option. I don't believe there's no way to accomplish this.

Alternatively I came up with an idea to make a "soft reset", kinda like on older Windows OS where instead of rebooting entire OS we could simply kill and restart explorer.exe process (I used to do that after installing some software which wanted to reboot my OS before first use). Does anyone know if such thing is possible and how to make it? I guess if it would be similiar approach to the one I used on Windows (restarting some process) then I could simply schedule some script to run every hour or so, but what that script would be?
[Google Pixel 6] snake218:
Maybe use Tasker, and set a profile that open an app every amount of time?

I always have used this "lock" app, basically lock the phone so only with the password you can unlock it.

It's free, no ads or bs.

Lock - Apps on Google Play

Ultra-simple lock screen

play.google.com
[Google Pixel 6] $ROGAL$:
Thanks for suggestion, I'll check that out later, but I'm quite doubtful it'll work as the app you suggested seems to override other screen lock options, so it would switch off fingerprint scanner once activated. I'll give it a try though.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
There is already a built in function called 'lockdown'. I don't know if can be triggered via Tasker though.

Choose when your Pixel phone can stay unlocked - Pixel Phone Help

You can keep your Pixel phone unlocked in some situations, like when your phone is in your pocket or connected to another device you use often. When you use Extend Unlock, you only need to unlock once

support.google.com
[Google Pixel 6] $ROGAL$:
Right, I forgot about it, but as you noticed - I also don't know if it could be triggered via Tasker. I think it's time to finally play with Tasker for a bit. Fingers crossed!

Samsung Galaxy A51 Port For Samsung Galaxy M31s

Full One UI 4.1 Built From

(PDA/CSC/CP/AP)

1.0 Beta - A51(A515FXXU5FVG3) for M31s(M317FXXS3DVF3)

1.03b Beta - A51(A515FXXU5FVG3) for M31s(M317FXXU3DVH2)

2.0 Beta - S21(G991BXXS5CVHI) FOR M31s(M317FXXU3DVH2)

Status of One UI 5 and newer -

I had successfully built One UI 5 ports, but the only problems remains that I couldn't get the bluetooth to get it working, due to changes done in android 13. I was only able to get call audio working on BT but every other type of audio comes through speakers only. If you have any known fix for that, please share.

Last Update-

I have given my M31s Away, so I am not doing any development. The truth is I have a lot of work to do in my life. I started this project because no one was willing to make a port for my device. But now the responsibilities of my life have caught upto me. I can no longer continue. I will/have uploaded the last stable port I had completed for usage. You are welcome to try and improve on it too.

This project has come to an end.

Besides, I have seen some spectacular AOSP projects for all Exynos 9611 devices by a user on telegram. Feel free to search.

Special thanks to @rufusIR and @Flylarb

Miscellanous -

Install Instructions -

Extract Super.img from zip file, flash it as super in TWRP. super.img size around 7.5GB

Will need a SDCard, preferably 16GB, if not then use ADB push command to transfer to internal storage in TWRP.

Flash Magisk apk

Goto Terminal and enter multidisabler. hit enter

Factory Reset your Phone, Take backup before hand if You need.

Follow the following steps for other things.

They are recommended for the best experience.

Included in Downloads sections on XDA, is also prism.img in another zip, extract and flash it to prism to stop bloatware from being installed by Galaxy Store.

Place the provided CSC features xml in the apropriate directory as mentioned below.

Safetynet Fix - (Only for A51)

Use SafetynetFix : https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

Use MagiskHide Props Config : https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf

1. Open termux and get root permissions

2. type props and press enter. Props Config will open up.

3. Select option 1.

4. then enter "samsung/a51nsxx:12/SP1A.218012.016/A515FXXU5FVG3:user/release-keys" as the device fingerprint, word by word, case by case, slight change will not allow safetynet pass.Copying causes issues.

5. Install safetynet fix as well

6. reboot

7. Check safetynet.

Safetynet Fix - (Only For S21)

Just install Safetynet fix and use deny list in Magisk. You are good to go.

CSC Tweaks -

Use any Root explorer. I prefer Mixplorer. Link:https://xdaforums.com/t/app-2-2-mix...-featured-file-manager.1523691/#post-23109280

Copy the cscfeature.xml to /optics/configs/carriers/XXX/conf/system/ after replacing the old one. XXX is the code for your country. Example SER is for Russia. Reboot and enjoy

Performance Fix -

Need Root

Install hktweaks v2.2.2 :https://github.com/corsicanu/hKtweaks/releases

Give root permission

Click on burger icon in the bottom left corner, open GPU section from it.

Goto GPU Power Policy Control and switch it from coarse_demand to always_on.

Low Resolution Tip-

The GPU is not able to handle the load of heavy graphics, that is the reason of stutters in the OS. In S21, using the system in HD+ resolution allows minimal stuttering and good Performance.

VoWifi Fix-

Download com.sec.sve.apk from 3rd post.

paste it in /system/app/

Unlocking more features in ONE UI 4.1

Install LSPosed.zip from Magisk and then download Firefds kit for S.

Now, enable things as you wish.

Running Banking Apps easily-

Some Apps will detect Root with safetynet fix. Use Secure folder for them. It has been tested for Vyom app.

BHIM will need Denylist, so will any other UPI app to run out of secure folder along with safetynet fix.

Bootloader Unlock Warnig Fix -

Flash BL_unlock_warning_fix_m31s_M317FXXS3DVF3.tar on BL slot in download mode in Reboot Menu, TWRP via Odin on PC. Check 2nd Post.

Tested on M31s-INS (BL version-M317FXXS3DVF3)

[General Questions and Answers] jelpern:
Hi,

I had a Samsung Galaxy S9, which I upgraded to an S22 about a month ago (don't ask how I went that long without upgrading ... it was the pandemic, there was so much inertia about so many things 🤷‍♂️).

I am returning the S22. The S22's weak vibrate is a dealbreaker for me. Instead of immediately upgrading again to an existing flagship phone, I am going back to the S9 and waiting the one month for the Pixel 7.

How do I downgrade to the S9? Do I just run Smart Switch with the roles reversed? Do I wipe the S9 first? Can I preserve the data and settings I have in my apps on the S9, which are probably more representative of my preferences than the ones on the S22? What happens if there are apps on the S22 that won't run on the S9? Is there a way to find out in a batch action, rather than having to check each of my 100+ apps by themselves?

I'm on T-Mobile, fwiw.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Hand load it. Otherwise you'll likely have trouble maybe even end up having to reload again.

SmartSwitch isn't that smart...
[General Questions and Answers] jelpern:
What do you mean by hand load it?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
App by app, file by file, setting by setting from scratch.

Otherwise you don't know what's being done. If it screws up hidden user files you'll be doing a factory reset, again.

Go for a clean load...
[General Questions and Answers] jelpern:
I hear you, and yet for this purpose, I don't think I have the time or cause to go through this process. I hand-loaded when I upgraded to the S22, and I'll probably do it again when I go from the S9 to the Pixel 7, but it's a lot of work, especially for a phone I'm only going to be using for about a month (I also have to return this by tomorrow to get the full refund from T-Mobile. I was hoping to get more guidance from this forum. Sigh.).
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You can try but you are what you load. That's a huge jump in firmware versions and device hardware.

You don't have anything to lose by trying but make sure your critical data is redundantly backed up and that backup is not SmartSwitch!!!
[General Questions and Answers] jelpern:
Good points all, but I think that was a bigger deal before storing data in the cloud became standard, or perhaps for people who haven't structured their services to all be backed up to the cloud or SaaS apps (aka a product layer on top of storage in the cloud).

Can you think of any critical data exists today that isn't backed up in its respective app or to a cloud storage service (if somehow an important file ends up on my phone, e.g. through a direct download from the web, I immediately upload it to my Google Drive)?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
And if you lose access to the account? It's rare but accounts do get hacked and recovery isn't always possible. Try transferring 400+gb of cloud data. I use multiple unencrypted hdds and flashsticks but primary backup is hdd. No cloud at all except for Gmail for isolation and security.

Cloud is a waste of bandwidth, battery and my time. I can do a full reload/restore with no internet connection.

All my PCs are dual drive including my phones; OS drive/data drive. I literally have around 1.7tb of data not including the duplicates.

I might consider cloud as a secondary backup system but not primary.
