[General Topics] Salvadorfreeman:
I recently bought an Android tablet on Aliexpress (caveat emptor), with quite high specs (screen res, Android 11, 12GB + 256 GB etc). It was extremely sluggish and I couldn't get many of my favourite apps to work on it. So I checked with a Fake Device Test app. It turns out that the screen resolution is much lower (1280 x 800), the memory is much lower, etc. The android is reported as 5.1 The processor is ARMv7,

SOC is MT6592

I have managed to get an old version of Netflix to work, and an ebook reader, so it is not completely a doorstop.

My question is, how can I upgrade. Maybe to Lineage, or some other ROM.

Has anyone ever come across this or similar devices? Any other ideas?

Thanks.
[Asus Zenfone 9] jstys92:
Just wanted to confirm with anyone that is using the "C" model of the zenfone 9 that the bootloader is, in fact, unlockable. I've been burned recently by the Xperia 1 IV US model and wanted to make sure I didn't repeat the same mistake.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
Yes, it is unlockable. I received mine on the 14th and was able to unlock it that day using ASUS's unlock tool.

According to ASUS, this does cause your phone to be considered 'modified' and unable to go back to being considered 'unmodified'.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ntrain2k:
Hello,

I have a verizon Note 10+ 5G that I am using on Tmobile. Can I flash the Tmobile Rom to it with no issues?

If so will I be able to keep all of my settings, apps, etc?

Thanks in advance.
[Palm Treo 750] Diablo81:
Hi all. I have a 750v from vodafone and I decided to unlock it, in order to use it with another provider. I downloaded the magic unlock and I used it. It worked well because now I have my terminal unlocked, but it cannot connect to any network (it accepts any sim, but it doesnt connect to any network). So I tried to use olipro hardspl, because I thought it was a radio problem but I didnt success:

1) I can make the first step and the loader flashes phone well.

2) I can press on second step and the flash process runs well, but when it says "sync the phone, look at the program, install it and then press ok" I cannot see any installation process on my treo. So I press ok on my pc, but I receive an error: "unhandled exception has occurred.....click continue o quit blabla". (Ihave net 2.0 installed also with service pack).

3) I cannot reach step 3.

So my question is: did someone have the same problem? Do you know how can I solve it? Maybe I can flash another radio? If yes where can I get it?

Thank you.

Hello, do we know when our device s21fe getting new android 13 ui5.0 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Stickola:
Probably with the rest of the S21 series which is in November, we'll see!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Billabomb75:
Yes we are getting it. As SammyFans it should be released sometime this month (Nov22)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] n1kolaa:
where did you get info about 22nov? can you post link?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Billabomb75:
Samsung One UI 5.0 update, rollout, release date, features, eligible devices

Samsung started Android 13 Beta-based One UI 5.0 testing program for Galaxy devices in early August. Moving ahead, Google officially launched the new Android 13 operating system, seeded source code to AOSP, and started the rollout for Pixel devices on August 15. Follow SF on Google News Google...

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] StonebridgeGr:
Anyone got the new update?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Billabomb75:
Not yet
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] adriancm92:
when is the update planned?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Billabomb75:
It is planned to roll out through out November 2022 and December 2022
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] rikipy:
Samsung Members Paraguay Community Manager post the FE 21 start rolling December (Including S/Z/Fold Model) https://contents.samsungmembers.com...sonalizables-a-los-usuarios-de-Samsung-Galaxy just wait for other markets
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
it's really unfair, the S20 ultra already receives the A13 update! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] MemurBey:
A73 received android 13 too...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] petzku:
Note 20 and S21 series just got their A13 updates in Finland. But not for the fan edition...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Either Samsung is ashamed of this model or it has some special hardware issues that they are trying to fix so that it feels like a normal device :)). I've never seen such a bad way to treat users of an allmost flaghsip phone. I've read somwhere that the FE's are made of left over parts, and now more than ever it feels like it. I really enjoy OneUi but after my experience with the touch screen issues and the notorious shutter lag, it will be my last Samsung device. They always find a way to disappoint.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Billabomb75:
Honestly I didn't know.. But now it makes sense. I got my phone and wasnt even 2 months I sent it in for repairs with a charging issue. I'm thinking I will rather switch over Apple or newest S series phone. The FE edition see a lot of people are complaining about it. My father has the s20fe which he got about 6 months prior to me and he is having now an slow charging issue.

I also noticed that the exynos version tends to get very hot and then it lags hard AF. Espicially when im driving.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] audrius1521:
I own s21fe (256gb 8gb ram snapdragon version) for about half a year without any issues and it still runs butter smooth. There is some cons one of them is battery, but atleast it charges quickly with oem 25w charger it takes an hour to fully charge from about 20%. Also phone gets hot when playing some heavy games like (Apex legends) with maxed out settings. For daily usage like fb, tik tok, internet browsing temparature stays normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
Yeah, no issues here. Heat is to be expected in this form factor, but I am able to play the most demanding games without issues even when it was the summer. Alien isolation, cod mobile, ps2 emulation, morrowind source port, all working great. even when the phone heats up, performance is top notch, but might be worse in countries with higher temps than southeast europe
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Dr.Lost:
Pretty much the same I ran all perfectly fine. Fortnite was the only game where I found heat was an issue but it's Fortnite so it's not being played
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Stersound:
I am currently downloading the OUi5 update. It's live in Europe i guess
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:

It's strange, I received the update today, but the security patch is from last month... :rolleyes:

SM-990B/DS EUX (Polish Distribution) get as well update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] tuncan:
The upgrade is also available in Slovenia.

In some hours of using Android 13, I saw some glitches. Especially annoying is the problem with unlocking with a fingerprint. Sometimes it simply stops working, the screen doesn't react ...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
Will I get the A13 update if my phone's CSC is Austria but I don't live there?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] MemurBey:
Could you review it? Battery drain or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omricn:
Anyone in Austria with [MAX] Region here? I have the same regional code and still no update.

https://samfrew.com/fQ/m/912/r/MAX/o/13/b/b/d/d/

Any clue on when it might be available?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Stersound:
So far seems okay, I dont observe any difference with battery life or SOT as I usually get around 4-4:30hrs of SOT on a12 and now a day after on a13.

I don't play games on the phone and use it mainly for work and phone calls.

I don't face any downsides or bugs at this point. I think its okay 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Strange that I receive the octobre security patch only.... :unsure:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] rikipy:
because the version of my S21 FE is from Brasil CSC and the only for now with the november patch for now

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] XDA-ROEH:
@acopland Yes. I've been quite disappointed with the deployment and lack of communication from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] d3tr0:
I updated a few days ago and for me the battery is the most disappointing thing. If it was half an hour, it's ok, no problem, but a noticeable hour and a half shorter is sorry too much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Amit.mory:
Has anyone recived one UI 5.0 for S21FE in US ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] XDA-ROEH:
As for myself, no not as of yet.

Hi Please, I need help !

I bought a T95Z PLUS Android 12 - Allwinner H618 - 4 GB/32 GB

Model Pixel 3

Version bigdroidOS 2.0.1

Amdrpod PS Build 12.1.A3

Every time I want to update from System Update I got a error:

Battery too low or in battery saving mode.

and I cant update.

How I can fix the problem ?

Thanks.
[Android TV General] perfectswanson:
You're supposed to use the other update app. They put the error in to prevent updating from the wrong source, I believe. The one we're supposed to use is in the list of apps. Instead of in Settings.
[Android TV General] marcelopc:
Thanks !
[Android TV General] perfectswanson:
There's a chance I could be mistaken I'll let you know if I get any roms or info from my seller on Amazon.

[Android TV General] Oranguman:
You are in for a not so fun time with this box, IMHO. It's some adjusted version of tablet android 12 that is (seemingly) purposely crippled as far as permissions and user interface (as you noticed). It's pretending to be a Pixel 3.

I was unable to obtain permissions or even a proper interface after some time of trying. If anyone has tips as far as how to interact with this octagonal menace, please post them here. In exchange here is the specific ID of the board and a link to a picture i've just taken. It's obvious that Amazon has about a billion of these to sell, it'd be nice if we could optimize these little boards for something other than consumer control :)

Mine is working ok for now. Changed Launcher to SquareHome. There are a few settings missing, but for the price, I can't complain. I've learned how to flash firmware. The box came rooted which helps. Best boxes to buy are the AmLogic processors. They have more support available.
[Android TV General] glennss:
I'd love to get the firmware please... our one just isn't performing correctly.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I will upload it in a little while. Do you know how to flash the firmware?
[Android TV General] glennss:
Tired to use in inbuilt updated with a local image but no luck... also tried flashing from an sdcard using PheonixCard 3.09 but again no luck , could be the firmware i have.

Any tips gratefully received.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Do you get errors?
[Android TV General] glennss:
No , either black screen or just sits there saying "copying"
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I either use Pheonix Suite with a USB A to A cable or unplug power from the box and insert the micro SD card created with Pheonix Card and then plug in power. I never have seen the words copying on the TV just a progress bar. Same the other way. Any how, getting ready to upload the latest firmware I have.
[Android TV General] glennss:
Great ... its probably the firmware i have... was from some random site
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Here you go,
[Android TV General] glennss:
Great... will try now and report back.... am i correct in setting the write mode to "Startup" in PheonixCard??
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I just load the image and then click or tap "burn", that's all and let it do it's thing.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:

[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
I have the a7 image that you directed me to. Is there any way for me to use that to do an update without deleting everything from my box"
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
It may be possible if you can Google Search a way to create an update.zip from a firmware.img file....

If you own one of these H618 devices, can you please run the following command on your device to see if it has malware similar to the T95 H616?

Need some help, trying to Clone / Backup a T95Z Plus Allwinner H618 - 4 GB/32 GB

When I connect the device to my computer, I hear the ding and it shows up in device manager as unknow device. I have download / install several drivers from different locations but still no luck. When I try Phoenix Suite it does not see the device.

I have not really figured out what software I will use to backup the device, for now I just want to be able to see it.

Any ideas on where I can get some good drivers.

I was only able to get a good install on one driver set in a Windows 7 x64

Any help will help

Thanks,
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Best you can do at this point for backup apps and data with swift backup app. Make sure you are rooted by installing the Magisk APK and in there do a direct install. As for connecting with PC, go into and see if the option to enable wireless debugging is available. If so enable it and then you can connect to it with adb command adb connect (your box ip address) make sure your box is connect to the same wifi network.
[Android TV General] LV Player:
Thanks will give that a try
[Android TV General] Timbo303:
I just got an update for a10 but everytime i try to install it it fails with error 20.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I updated mine to A10, had to re-flash the A7 then did the A10 then re-installed all my apps and data with SwiftBackup. Otherwise every time I tried to update I got the error 20.....
[Android TV General] zeiz909:
Hello friends, can I install this Firmware on a different TV box but which has the same processor? Also runs bigdroidOS
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Yes on a H618 processor. I have used both the T95Z Plus and X86 firmwares for the H618... Using the Phoenix Suite to flash the box.
[Android TV General] zeiz909:
Thabks

Thanks for the answer, do you know how I can make a backup?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Install Magisk, then backup apps and app data as of right now. No nandroid available at this time

I wish there is a way we can customize these images, strip out bloatware and put my own launcher/apps/boot animation/sound, etc..., I've always done it with most of my android tvboxes, but can't find a way to do it with this T95Zplus tvbox
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
How did you aquire these firmwares?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I am working on trying to get the Status/notification and navigation bars added as well as the "Settings" shortcut added to a custom launcher homescreen. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
some from XDA, and some from the manufacturer sold me this tvbox, mine is already at A9.

how are you adding a custom launcher to the firmware? or are you doing it directly on the tvbox?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I installed Microsoft Launcher from APKPure... I was just wondering if you had captured the firmware download somehow. I am on A10 as of now but didn't know how to save the download to share with others.
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
ah, i see, ya I don't really know of a way to do device to rom dump. normally what I've always been doing, I get the stock rom and I unpack it, modify whatever i want, then repack it, but now that I got this tvbox, i don't believe there is a tool to properly unpack it for modification yet
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Where have you been getting the stock rims from....website?
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
Hello everyone, I bought the T95max android 12 box - allwinner H618 - but when I turn it on it restarts in a loop and after a while I go to the "flash swipe" menu.

Model link: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004865137900.html

I asked the seller to send me the firmware he used (12.1.A8) so that I could reflash it but he did not respond.

Could you tell me which android TV firmware is compatible with my box and give me a link please. I thank you in advance.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Look at post #197 in this thread...
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
Thanks i have download and install A10 but is instable and wifi not work have you a solution please?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Flash one of the "img"s from post #197....
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
sorry I made a mistake, I downloaded and flashed with the A9 version and I don't have wifi or bluetooth and the system is not stable.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Then try the A7
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
You might have been better off with the T95Z Plus H618 box... The T95Z Plus H618 has more options. According to one review, the Max is not as good as the Z Plus!
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
Thanks i try now

I tried the A7 version, same problem. when I flash the box it starts correctly but does not have wifi or bluetooth. then when I turn it off and restart it it boots in a loop then goes to the recovery menu, and I have to reflash it.

do you think it comes from firmware that is not compatible with the t95max or from defective hardware?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
According to the review I saw, the box does not have Bluetooth and the wifi is not so good or does not work at all. If you can return the box I would and get the Z Plus.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:

T95 Max Android TV Box Review - Subpar TV Box!?

The T95 Max is an affordable Android TV Box that seemingly has decent specifications, but just how well does it do? Read this review to find out!

[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
it's not the same box!
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
All I can say is the T95Z Plus H618 is a better box with fewer problems. Other than that I can not explain why you are having so much problems. You might try this firmware from the X86 box...

File on MEGA

[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
Hi, I have try but i brick my box. I think I know why the wifi and the bluetooth don't work, because the T95Z plus and HK1 RBOX H8 boxes work in wifi 6 and bluetooth 5 while the T95max box that I have runs with wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.

Who will have the firmware for the HK1 RBOX H8S box? Because this box runs with wifi 5 and BT4 unlike the HK1 RBOX H8.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Best way to find firmware is with Google or Bing searches....
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
yes I searched on Google Bing and brave seaech but no results. I also asked several sellers on Aliexpress if they can send me the firmware but since I didn't buy the box from them they don't want to. If someone on the forum has bought either the t95max box or hk1 rbox h8S would it be possible to ask your seller for the firmware and post the link here?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Search Google "T95max xda" and that will help
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
No result for my tv box T95MAX android 12 H618 but only others t95max box
