Well, you can't. Odin is an IBM PC program that runs under Windows. It is used to ship ROM files to a Samsung tablet. The tablet must be in "download mode".
[General Questions and Answers] CALI_SAVAGE:
Then how do I beat Google lockon my Samsung 7 edge cause I can't do it
[General Questions and Answers] J.Michael:
Find the S7 Edge forum for help unlocking.

Odin is not part of unlocking. Odin is for downloading software to the device. I think you can use Odin without unlocking -- you will only be able to flash images. You could try flashing a stock image for a different language, just to see if it works. (Pick a language you think you will understand well enough to see how to change the language back to your preferred language.)

A separate step, with no reference to Odin, is unlocking. I think it is usually delete any Google account you have attached to the device, enable Developer Options, enable "bootloader unlock" in Developer Options, reboot to recovery or download mode (I'm not sure which), expect some message like "hit Volume Down to unlock" (could be Volume Up), accept that it will wipe data.

Once you are unlocked (verify by booting Android again, and checking the Developer Options to see if the "unlock bootloader" option is still enabled, but is now greyed out), you can try using Odin to download non-stock software. In particular, it is at this point that you might try to flash a Magisk-patched software to try to install Magisk. With Samsung, as of when I did it, installing Magisk will again require wiping data, so do not spend a lot of time configuring your device between unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk.

one can't bypass FRP lock on Samsung devices. what you try with Odin3 is impossible, it won't reset FRP.

find another method for that model, there exist some cheats on YouTube

[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] Totesnochill:
I've read in this unlocking guide, that even after the bootlloader on 8.1 is unlocked, the useful commands such as "fastboot boot" and fastboot flash" will fail. Is that the case?

What about the unlocking services - will the fastboot respond to boot and flash commands after using Raghu Varma's or Hikari Calyx's services? Could anyone with unlocked BL confirm please? Thank you.

[Realme GT Master Edition] AngVyy:
So, I tried to flash stock rom from project elixir, and I got soft bricked with the error of "The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contant custom service to fix it"

I can't enter the fastboot (I think?, idk i think i can't)

Anyone know how to solve that issue? Or only custom service?
[Realme GT Master Edition] AngVyy:
Update: I get into fastboot for now and unlocked the bootloader, does anyone know is it any possible way to flash a custom rom or stock actually? (I can't boot into twrp and can't flash los recovery, after flashing los recovery when i get to reboot, I get fastboot bootloop)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Gamer13789:
Just got my s22 ultra today and I’m having issues with the Gmail app.

I’m receiving notifications a few mins late and on some occasions not at all. It’s very frustrating

I’ve put the gmail app to unrestricted and that hasn’t fixed the issue. If someone here could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
about apps I am. interested to run all the time, I usually do this:

give them unrestricted battery use

put them in never sleep in device care

background check on, in developer options

uncheck them in optimization options

I hope it helps you, but, I recall having a similar issue with my note 8 and 10+ time ago, the, the issues fixed as they appeared, by themselves! I have no explanation why they started or how they stopped
[Motorola One Questions & Answers] Fuscus69:
Had this phone for about 2 yes and now I find out its got a notification led in the earpiece grill after I installed crdroid. How come they never used it in the original firmware? I'm not talking about the front flash. Surprised.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Hi guys,

since two days I noticed that my battery is draining a lot quicker.

I pushed two full days to battery historian and noticed that in each day, GPS was constantly on and in use.

When checking the "last app that accessed location" then it was always "ImsService" that used it "0 mins ago" or "1 mins ago".

Day 1:

Total GPS use: 12h 20min

GPS use by app: ANDROID_SYSTEM 12h 20min

Day 2:

Total GPS use: 8h 7min

GPS use by app: ANDROID_SYSTEM 8h 7min

The only thing I changed in these last few days was deleting an e-sim and adding a new e-sim.

Any suggestions on what to do?

I have BBS installed but it can't seem to see what is causing the GPS drain with BBS.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Another weird thing I noticed:

Amaze & Simple Gallery need permission to access my "SD card" or files.

I have to set the switch to "allow" frequently. Like the permission gets lost every few hours/days.

Full wipe and start from the start? :S

Titanium Backup Pro?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
As an update:

Did a factory reset and restored all apps / settings but with only 1 SIM.

For now the phone feels smoother and battery is A LOT better.

I monitored this for 2 days now.

Will activate my 2nd SIM today and see what is changing.

I might also remove Adaway + AFWall.

I believe I might have "crippled" my system too much previously.

I am thinking about going with adguard (which basically does what adaway + afwall does but with better monitoring / logging to find and fix issues) or nextDNS.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Gooble likes to ALWAYS track your location, even if you specifically tell them not to;

40 states settle Google location-tracking charges for $392M

Google has agreed to a $391.5 million settlement with 40 states to resolve an investigation into how the company tracked users' locations.

www.usatoday.com

Among others, this is ONE of many reasons why I use google-free GrapheneOS instead of the crap it ships with.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Thanks but there might be more to it.

Today I added my 2nd SIM (e-SIM) and noticed that my battery drain has become huge again.

20-30% lost during the night.

So it seems to be related to the second sim.

Things that show up in BBS as main cause:

s5100_wake_lock

Sensor: Dynamic Sensor Manager(1), wakeup=true, Time: 7 h 25 m 4 s

RILJ_ACK_WL

No idea what that is and how to fix it though.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] PsYk0n4uT:
just to inform the many of you who are posting in the CE2 section about your Nord CE 2 Lite devices. The lite is not even close to the same device as the CE 2... BUT what it IS very close to and is almost the very identical device and therefore your twrp works on our device, is The GN2200...... The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is the exact same device except for the panel and the aesthetics. But be warned that you cannot crossflash the firmware from the CPH2459 to the GN2200 as it has led to several bricks and maybe just because the people attempting just didnt have enough knowledge on the subject yet or there must be some security feature or major differences in the setup...... cph2459 is the unlocked version of the N20 5G.... but for all that being said. their still basically the same device as the Nord CE2 Lite. In fact, the oneplus care app detects our devices as the Nord CE 2 Lite...

See specs here :

Compare OnePlus Nord N20 5G vs. OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G - GSMArena.com

www.gsmarena.com

CE2 Lite has a larger capacity battery and a different touch panel. and ce2 lite has a12 where ours are still on a11... but i feel that if we could all just collaborate in the N20 area we might actually be able to see whats cross compatible. i know the naming scheme is so similar it brings people to this sub forum but in reality i think maybe it should have its own sub or maybe we should collaborate over there. the major difference will be in the android OS being 11 on the N20 and 12 on the CE2 Lite......... The Oscar recovery boots and works great on our device with the exception of we cant boot to system with it in ramdisk. we have so far been limited to leaving it on active boot partition and using our stock(or magisk patched) boot image on the inactive slot and just setting active in fastboot to get back to system and to keep modules flashing correctly with twrp on the same slot as our system...... if anyone wants to come over and collaborate over there we would be more than glad to have you as we have had very little interest from dev's with the american device and the devs that have shown alot of interest so far have been people who dont even own the device so progress has been very slow and painful. Im hoping to bring more of us together since we sort of have the same device though we may need to label accordingly per device.... oneplus has pretty much given up on this device project and moved on to other things according to an employee i spoke with who i wont name... because sales in the states did not do as well as they had hoped. apparently people here either want a low end device or a flagship haha...... so it sort of leaves us without a ton of interest by devs since the mid-range market isnt doing so well here....
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Skilly1989:
Only similar thing are the launch dates , precessors , data cables and chargers.

When you say a phone is the same with another model, they need to match 100% of each others hardware . So having that in mind , you cannot use the OS from one to the other , you will end building everything from scratch so that it wont turn in to a brick or run without crashes , boot loops , freezings and other errors.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] vliqnie17:
This is not 100% true. One guy installed successfully Realme Ui from Realme 9 Pro on OnePlus Nord Ce 2 Lite. Both devices have same specs. See here: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11344&idPhone2=11317
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Skilly1989:
are you blind or what ? hardware is matched 100% between realme 9 pro and oneplus nord ce 2 lite , you cant say the same about the nord n20 with nord ce 2 lite that was in the text you quoted mate.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] elauqz:
You'll need

any pc, works for linux, windows and MacOS

python latest version

mtkclient (setup guide in the same page)

latest miui rom for the phone (choose the RIGHT region for your phone)

Once you have all these, you'll need to set them up

How tho?​

Process varies based on your OS, if you use linux(or macos, follow the debian instructions), follow this guide, if you're on windows, follow this guide.

After you've done that, you can actually proceed with unbricking the phone.

Unbrick (this is the only part you'll have to do everytime)​

1. go in the mtkclient directory if you aren't in it already,

2. open a terminal/cmd inside of the directory and type py mtk_gui in it, after that a GUI should open, if you face any errors be sure to comment them and i'll figure it out

3.after the GUI opened, hold vol up and vol dwn and plug the phone in while holding those, in the log it should spit out some info about the phone, while in the gui a spinning wheel should appear on the phone icon, after a bit the spinning wheel should disappear and the phone icon should become blue, if it doesn't become blue, check the FAQ,

4. go to Write partitions, choose directory and choose the directory where you have all your miui .img files (i.e. C:\Users\UserHere\Downloads\begonia_RegionHere_images_MiuiVersionHere_AndroidVersionHere_RegionHere\images)

5. click write partition(s), After that, just wait and in less than an hour, it should be done, it should be able to boot when you're done

FAQ​

The wheel keeps spinning/The log says "Handshake failed, retrying..."

Unplug the phone, hold power for 10 seconds (no more, no less) and plug it back in while holding vol up and vol dwn, connect successfully

What is this tool? Can i do anything else with it?

This is a mediatek exploiting tool, you can use it to do tons of stuff with mediatek phones, wouldn't recommend doing anything random though, just check what you do BEFORE you do it.

Well sent the phone back the Ebay seller claiming to be a house clearance business wouldnt provide any paperwork to back up his claims of how he came to be in possession of the phone. So as I planned to do some computer forensics on it, like retrieve the files wiped by a Factory Reset, and the perverse interpretation of the law in this UK, I wasnt prepared to go any further with the phone. So its been sent back. The banks have already shown how untouchable they are, other big businesses are also in the same position and finding illegal stuff on a phone is not a risk I'm not prepared to take without paperwork.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Sir Loyne:
After getting android 12, I have no notification sounds. More specifically, I have no notification sounds through the phones speaker. I have sounds through the headphone jack and over Bluetooth. If I go into the sounds settings, I can change my ring tone and hear it, but there's no sound when I change my notification sound. I did a hard reset this morning and when my phone was "factory new" there was still no sound. If only I could find someone to revert my phone back to 11. google only makes the world worse.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
You don't mention what version/carrier is your V60. If it is T-Mobile/US Cellular then you could easily download the relevant firmware for Android 11 and flash it using LGUP. You should use partition download mode.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Sir Loyne:
It's an "unlocked" phone that shows the T-Mobile logo when I turn it on. I'm using Mint Mobile for my service, not that that matters.

So you're saying that I can just download android 11 and reinstall it? Which one should I get... the last "Android 11 R" or the last "Unknown"? Do I need the "LGUP Store Frame"? I'm definitely going to be looking into this.

Thanks
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
Here is the problem in your case:

Since you are using the MVNO (i.e., Mint Mobile), none of the T-Mobile firmware will work. The reason is that even if you are on the T-Mobile network (via Mint Mobile) the functional operating bands are different assigned. So the firmware that you are seeing for T-Mobile are only for the individuals who are direct subscribers of the network not the ones who are MVNO.

You could give it a try but if you flash the T-Mobile firmware on your phone and if it does not work then you are in a nightmare. Because you will need the Mint Mobile firmware to re-flash your V60 in order for it to work on their network. And as far as I know, there is no firmware provided by MVNOs publicly.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Sir Loyne:
I thought that link you sent was just a generic LG firmware. So who's to blame for my phone being worthless then... LG, T-Mobile or Mint? This is why I generally hate technology. Someone comes out with an "update" that completely screws me over. I can't go back and their response is "Sucks to be you".
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
I totally understand your frustration. MVNOs don’t inform their customers all the detail. They just push their lower prices trapping their customers. I am not saying that they are deceptive but simply that they are not as transparent. And they just don’t give their customers all the options.

May I suggest that you go to a Mint mobile store and inform them your problem? If they have a technically informed person there, your problem could be fixed.

To console you, here is a problem that was posted here relating to MVNO. Audio was an issue there as well but from microphone.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
To answer your earlier question, if you have to use a firmware it will be the ones marked for T-Mobile. Please don’t use the ones marked “unknown”.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Sir Loyne:
Thanks for your patience and responding. How do I know if the firmware from that link is for T-Mobile? Because of the TM in the number? The software version on my phone is V600TM30e. It's the security patch from September 1st. It doesn't say anything about it being for T-Mobile when I click on the last Android 11R firmare.

EDIT: Sorry. It says it's for U.S. Cellular in the description.

I don't understand how Mint factors into this. They aren't the ones providing the updates. I assumed they came from LG.

I have a timer app that, when the timer goes off, the alarm works. This makes me assume it's a purely OS problem. Have you heard of a ring tone app that overrides the system sound the way that timer app does? I'm going to see if such a thing exists. Even if it costs money, it's would be cheaper than having to buy a whole new phone because of a garbage update. And I don't see LG ever fixing the problem as they've stepped out of the phone market.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
Actually Android updates have not been satisfactory for many people. I had initially Android 10 that updated to 11. All kind of problems started happening (including battery drain and band allocation). So I went back to Android 10 and things were back to normal. When Android 12 rolled in, I tried it and found it to be better than 11 but still buggy. So I am again on Android 10 and staying here.

I am glad to learn that your phone was working well on Android 11. In terms of your ringer not working, here are possible scenarios:

1. Please check if your phone is in do not disturb mode.

2. See if your ringer‘s volume is mute.

3. If you change the ring tone, does the phone ring to give you a sample?

4. Have you installed any modded application (like Dolby Atmos, DTS etc.) that do interfere with ringer many times.

5. Please try these ringtones that are here. See if these work.

6. I am going do some research to find a solution.

As for the firmware, if you look at the list the T-Mobile ones are labeled TMO in the first column.

The firmwares are originally written by LG but given to various carriers who customize it to their phones and operating bands. So Mint Mobile operates on a pre-allocated band by T-Mobile. Now T-Mobile does not put its direct subscribers on those bands/frequencies. Hence the T-Mobile firmware does not include the Mint mobile bands or frequencies.

If you do flash a T-Mobile firmware, for example, your phone will be fine but the modem may not operate as it will be looking for T-Mobil network bands not Mint mobile. That’s the arrangement that MVNOs have with their carrier partners to protect each other from customer defection. In other words, if you go to the carrier directly you get better service and option albeit higher price. And if you go to MVNO, price is lower but you sacrifice service options.
