[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
I only just got my pixel 7, but the pixel flasher way seems way more simple than that alternative method.
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
Well, I just updated using the pixelflasher...

That was just about as simple as it gets. I recommend!
[Google Pixel 7] happynexuss:
Can you skip a monthly update using pixel flasher? Say you're on October/rooted. Could you update to December/rooted or should you update to November first?
[Google Pixel 7] nicorvienne:
hi,

yes you can go directly Oct > Dec!
[Google Pixel 7] rob420p:
Can't we just use the old way mind u haven't had any updates since I rooted but can't we I stall to a inactive slot threw magisk?
[Google Pixel 7] ziddey:
Unfortunately not. See https://xdaforums.com/t/your-device-is-corrupt-after-november-update-with-magisk-ota-method.4515951/

I gave it a shot going to qpr2. Freak07's solution works to recover.
[Google Pixel 7] corsaair:
No, because it's not working. You need to use flash-all.bat (after editing and deleting the "-w") from stock when updating and re-root. Faster than the OTA upgrade, takes less time.
[Google Pixel 7] Dr Grato:
Hi, what do u tick in the Pixel Flasher to keep the root? i just updated and lose my root
[Google Pixel 7] Locoman_:
I've taken updates before then before reboot installed magisk on the inactive slot via magisk and it worked. I don't do it this way anymore to avoid bricking.
[Google Pixel 7] Hitman478™:
You have to process the firmware, than select the init_boot.img extracted and patch it with the button on the right. Before flashing, make sure you select the patched init_boot.img (the one with the little bandaid).

Btw, there's a full guide on the official thread of the software and you can find it in the #2 post

For the few ones still using this wonderful phone, a notice about the GPS.

I've discovered that there are two different sets of GPS configuration files into the various ROMs: one is coming from LineageOS and the other one is present in some ROMs like ArrowOS.

This second set is buggy and causes GPS instability !

Configuration files from LineageOS will fix the GPS signal in a few seconds.

If you are experiencing GPS issue, download ALL the 6 configuration files from the LineageOS tree and overwrite them on /System/Vendor/etc folder (root rights required).

Of course, a phone restart is required then.

Take a backup of the old ones...just in case !

LineageOS configuration files

Hi,

I tried a few GSI roms for this phone but I got an issue of Punch hole not being recognized properly even after changing the cutout settings.

In addition I found in some roms that we can't invert the bottom menu layout buttons.

Any other issues you noticed?

Anyone experienced the I did?

Btw, I was able to pass the Safety net on majority of roms except on LEOS 19.1 (issue on their end I think).

Cheers!

I removed all the bloatware and stuff and im still wondering if i download custom rom, will my phone perform better in games?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
The AOSP roms for this phone are currently in Alpha or Beta versions, not yet stable.

But you can install a Xiaomi EU rom to have a try.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ibanepa:
Do you have any idea when they're going to stabalize it?

I faced another issue while playing games. I'm suffering from ghost touching. The game runs smoothly in the begining, but randomly my screen won't respond for like 0.5 sec and if i lift my finger, it returns to normal and the cycle continues.

I've uninstalled all the bloatwares and i even have phonecooler, so heating etc ain't the problem
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
From Alpha to stable, + or - 8 to 18 months, it depends on the developer and for some of the Xiaomi updates.

Check here the build numbers for the Poco f2 pro with a hard working developer.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/crdroid/files/lmi/7.x/
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ibanepa:
Ok, thank you. Lastly, once the new miui update comes and after installing it, do i have to remove all the bloatware again?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
Not sure (I haven't used a stock rom for a long time), updating an app that no longer exists?.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ibanepa:
Hah, in these times, you never know!

Thank you!

I tried to install new rom via xiaomi updater and now im stucked in fastboot loop.. Now i don't have phone model name or anything?? i can't install any roms now cause it won't recocgnize it, it connects to my pc though.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
What rom did you have and what rom did you want to install? (full name, numbers and letters).

Is the bootloader unlocked?

To use Miflash, you must download a fastboot rom (tgz) and extract the rom folder (see the tutorial)
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ibanepa:
Honestly, I totally forgot it and was so scared that I pricked my phone... Mi flash program gave me some weird error "Anti Rollback check error", but then I found a very weird solution for it. I solved this by moving the whole package directly to my E: drive. So the path had become "E:\Batman_global_images_V10.3.6.0.PFJMIXM_20190603.0000.00_9.0_global\flash_all.bat" instead of "E:\*********\Desktop\adb\MiFlash20180528\Batman_global_images_V10.3.6.0.PFJMIXM_20190603.0000.00_9.0_global\flash_all.bat". And I made 2-folders inside Mi flash folder, named "log" and "new folder".

I thank again for your effort, Sensei..
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:

Suddenly, my phones display is locked at 60hz and i couldn't switch it back to 120.. I downloaded app and i changed it back, but my question is, why would Xiaomi lock it at 60hz? Is my phone in mortal danger now that i "forcefully" changed it?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Jake.S:
Yeah I can confirm it's out for galaxy tab s8 ultra. Since mine received it, but the multi bar att the bottom disappeared now, since it was there in Android 12L.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] IFNg:
Has anybody Odin flashed it to an x900 US model? I'm starting to get impatient 😬
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
Yes I seen android 13 for tab s8, +, and ultra. I have the s8 plus but wifi only. In America the only way you can buy 5g sim tray is if you buy through phone carrier but then its no bootloader unlock and root. Sucks so I have to wait until wifi verison hits.

How does android 13 work on the tab?

Is it better or not?

By chance do you use viper and if so does it work on a13?

I have tried everything on a12 and nothing works. Love the tab s8 plus its better than s6 in everyway except no viper and its kills me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] PlutoDelic:
So far, it's been a breeze for me. It got all the goodies from A12L, including the task bar.

One thing people are complaining about is the ability to extract text from images in the gallery, which Samsung may be pushing it strictly for a Pen feature.

A13 is solid. I've been a Beta test for the S21 series, and i can say that A13 is really stable and fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
You have a sim model right? We can't buy model in the US unless it's carrier locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
I forgot do you have TWRP and the kernel installed from here or telegram?

Are you rooted?

I just want to know ill have root when it drops. Of course I can patch the AP right if those dont work?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] PlutoDelic:
Yes, EUX CSC.

No root. To be honest, i havent rooted a Samsung product in ages.

Did anyone noticed if samsung in android 13 changelog have new virtualization system support, which has google pixels 6 android 13 support?

Pixel 6 can run windows 11 through this new virtualization android 13 have. Can we do it in galaxy tab s8 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] UmiCat:
Am I allowed to talk about other models? I've just installed the Android 13 update on my Tab S8 5G (706B) EUX (rooted). Everything seems to be working OK so far! I don't see any obvious improvement, but that's probably because the upgrade from Android 12 to 12L was revolutionary to me!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] IFNg:
It's a bigger upgrade on a phone I think. My OnePlus 8 Pro is far more stable with 13 and apps can't randomly start sending notifications after you block them. We're mostly excited to see if Samsung gave us KVM access in 13 like Google did for the Pixel so we can run Windows in an app on the tablet when we need to.

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] GS11:
I've been having issues with my phone ever since i rooted my A32 (Some samsung features are disabled, Sim Cards don't work), i've thought that this may have something to do with the bootloader being unlocked as i heard that some phones have security measures whenever your phone's bootloader is unlocked

Now, my question is, once i relock my bootloader, will it wipe out the root aswell? or will the root remain?

I am also wondering if there are better ways to solve this issue without relocking
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
Pretty sure you cannot go back. Sim cards should work though, and some Samsung only features can be restored by Magisk\Xposed (Riru) modules.
[General Questions and Answers] AllesMeins:
So this is one problem one shouldn't have, if manufacturers would make sensible decisions - but oh well...

I bought an cheap eBook reader (InkBook Calypso Plus) that unfortunately comes with a very reduced Android 8.1 user interface but otherwise with an pretty open system. But when the devices goes to sleep it disables wifi (which is fine for me) and you've to re-enable it manually every time (which is not fine for me). There is no option to change that behavior in the default interface.

So I'm looking for ideas to fix this: Either by an app that just regularly checks if wifi is off and turns it back on when the device wakes up or by any other way to turn this "feature" off (maybe there is a way to access the original android settings and change it there?).

- The devices runs Android 8.1 with a custom user interface from the manufacturer

- I can sideload *.apks

- It doesn't have Google Play Store/Services

- It's not rooted and I don't know if this is possible
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You need root because the activity that you are trying to manage is regulated by "wakelocks" which can be managed with apps from the PlayStore that require root in order to modify your wakelocks.

There also may be a way to use adb to change the behaviour of the wakelock causing your undesired behaviour. I haven't looked to see if there is a way to do this with adb, it may or may not require root, I'm not certain.

Or, your issue is caused by "deep-sleep" or "doze", if so, you need to find a way to remove or disable deep-sleep or doze.

Or, it may be caused by some kind of battery or power management setting on your device, try disabling any battery or power management settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm wondering how long this took you and how much of a headache it was.

[General Topics] mazar23:
So, a few weeks ago I noticed a random zip file in my phone's storage. I didn't download it, and I don't know why it has suddenly appeared now. I've had the phone for almost two years and never seen it before. I don't believe I have downloaded any new apps recently either. I saw a post about a similar issue, where people suggested it might have something to do with Bluetooth, but I'm not sure. It is located under Android/media but I haven't added any new devices recently, and the file didn't appear immediately after connecting to any of my devices Appvalley https://vlc.onl.

I run Bitdefender on my device (a Vivo) and everything seems clear, so while I am paranoid and initially thought it might be malware/virus, I'm not so sure, but I would like to know what's going on. Are they files for a specific app? Or something to do with memory storage?

If I delete the file, a new one appears a week or so later. Interestingly a new one appeared yesterday, but says the file originated 4 days ago. It's always a long number followed by .zip.

Why is my phone doing this and should I stop deleting the files?

I just bought an Iflytek T1 and managed to get adb working.

It has an mt8768 chip and runs Android pie with an 2018 security patch.

Before I try to root it and unlock the bootloader I installed aida64 and cpu-z.

Aida64says it is rooted but cpu-z says it it not.

Running adb su works and it shows the # sign.

But trying unlock in fastboot just times out.

Any suggestions on what is going on here?

[Google Pixel 6] eastermo:
Hi all,

I use a smartphone (e.g., Google Pixel 6 but what I describe next happens also with other smartphones) and plug a UICC (a.k.a. SIM card) into it. Then I try to start a SCP02 secure channel (SCP02 is a GlobalPlatform security protocol). First, everything runs correctly: the mutual authentication is done successfully and I can send encrypted commands to the UICC. Then I stop the secure channel. And I start again: new secure channel with SCP02 and a new encrypted command, and stop. I do this multiple times and up to some point (after 50 or 100 trials), when I initiate anew the SCP02 channel the UICC replies with an error "Invalid response SW after first INIT UPDATE command" during the authentication. If I use a times (that is, I wait 1 s between two tunnel establishment) I can establish more tunnels than previously (200 or 300 trials) but, eventually, the same error is sent by the UICC. Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Google Pixel 6] NonStickAtom785:
What stage of the booting process are u on? This is very intriguing to me. Is ur phone bricked?
[Google Pixel 6] eastermo:
The phone is an off-the-shelf item. I did not update it. It is not bricked. It is working correctly (fully functional besides the issue which I ask help for).
[Google Pixel 6] NonStickAtom785:
I'm just getting confused about what you mean by SCP02.
[Google Pixel 6] eastermo:
SCP02 stands for "Secure Channel Protocol 02". It is a security protocol defined by the GlobalPlatform consortium. Its specification is public (https://globalplatform.org/wp-conte...CardSpecification_v2.3.1_PublicRelease_CC.pdf).

It is based on symmetric keys shared between between the UICC (SIM card) and a remote server/reader. With these keys the UICC and the server/reader mutually authenticate first and then compute fresh session keys. With the session keys, the server/reader can send encrypted commands to the UICC (e.g., to upload an applet or to update parameters stored on the UICC).

So I use SCP02 to establish such a secure channel between an UICC plugged into the smartphone and an application on the smartphone. I know the symmetric keys shared by the UICC and my application on the smartphone, so I can correctly establish the secure channel. But, as said, after several successful establishment the UICC all of a sudden replies with an error message. And I don't understand why and how I can fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] Shizzle2889:
I am probably super late to this. Trying to figure out if the A71 5g and A71 5g UW devices are capable of flashing GSI ROMs. Any feedback on this would be helpful. Looking and the 4g variants have the capability. However, nothing ever got posted in here in regards to these variants. Been waiting a decently long time after rooting for custom ROM availability and now my device decided to factory reset last night. With that, now seems like a perfect time for some custom flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] DannySolo:
Hi all. My trusty A40 had a little mishap at the toilet (!) and drowned. I gave it a rinse with alcohol and dried it for days in 40C ovens etc. but no life was recovered. A few days ago I decided to try charging it anyway and nothing happened... then this morning my old alarm went off! The screen is still completely dead, and I didn't notice any vibration but I always had that turned off. When I plug it in and out with the USB cable it makes the correct beeps. I can even snooze that alarm with the power button and turn it off with volume down.

When I connect it to my PC though I don't see any drive come up, I guess it doesn't default to USB file transfer so maybe this isn't a surprise.

So is my phone alive inside and just has a completely dead screen? The alcohol has conveniently taken the back off by dissolving the glue. Also, I've already got a new Redmi Note 11 so I'm happy to tinker with this phone and I've replaced screens before no problem.

Is this phone worth buying a new screen for do you all think or would that be a total waster of $35?

Thanks!

(PS: sorry if not in correct forum here, not sure which one is most appropriate for hardware / repair issues)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Wrong. You may still be able to save it...

Pull the back cover and disconnect the battery asap. Allow to dry completely before powering up. Fan blowing on it with the phone on it's side in a very warm room for at least a couple days.

The mobo power section or the soc are the most likely areas to fail from corrosion. Possible the connectors are still retaining brown water🤣

Do Not use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol as a drying agent if it has an LCD as it will poison it.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] DannySolo:
Thanks but I've already completed the drying. The CPU is working in there, in fact when I put in a SIM it will even ring when I phone it. I'm just wondering if I can be 100% sure everything is OK apart from the screen? Is there anything else I can check?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it's dry and still malfunctioning the damage is likely to the mobo, is permanent and will be progressive. Corrosion never sleeps.

You can disassemble and check the ribbon cable pins going to the display for moisture and/or corrosion damage. The mobo power section and the BGA chipsets* (can't see the damage as the contacts are under the chip) are the most likely to be damaged.

With water exposure time is of the essence. You might save the device if you're fast enough and do the right things. Salt water is sure death.

* you sure it's dry?!! BGA chipset's don't have airflow around the pins. Any water under the chipset will also be retained by capillary action...
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] DannySolo:
I submerged the whole thing in alcohol and then dried it at 50C for 72 hours. Everything I can test works perfectly (including ringing when called) but the screen is totally dead. I cleaned that socket but still nothing.

Is it possible the water/alcohol damaged the screen and not the motherboard? Sound unlikely but that's what they symptoms indicate.

So is it worth a bet on fixing with a $30 new screen or not do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I think it's the mobo but you're holding it. I don't know how suspectable the the display is to water damage. Did you use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] DannySolo:
All I could find was 100% ethanol I'm afraid and only realised the FAQs saying "alcohol" were talking about isopropanol after I'd finished. Isn't ethanol also used for mobo cleaning? Maybe that destroyed the screen though.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Water can damage AMOLED displays as well it seems. Best to keep all solvents away from the display. Methanol alcohol should never be used.

Ethanol not sure about.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] DannySolo:
OK I think then I'll shoot the moon and buy a replacement screen... would be a terrible waste to throw this phone out if that's all that's wrong.

Plus we would now know that ethanol is OK for phone motherboards, plus it takes the glue off the back of a Samsung A40!
