Works on my ATT 998U!

Reference for others - BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC are the same on all carrier G998U models, just leave out the USERDATA file.

So far, everything works. Sucks to have AT&T bloat again, but it will carry me until the U1 firmware is out.

Thanks, Tony!

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dizzyraider:
Using Frija just search 998U1 instead of 998U AND using one of the big 3 carriers (I used TMB as not officially released for the XAA) and it will fetch you the U1 non bloated version. This way you won't need to debloat the phone yourself.

Thanks for the tip man, I may just do that.

I'm perhaps a little too obsessed with debloating.

So I checked Frija, and that's the same image I used. What I'm going to do this go is reflash and strictly stick to the debloating I did on A11. A13 introduced a LOT more background services which I'm going to have a little more respect for. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dizzyraider:
Actually if you look closely at the version, you'll see it's G998U"1"UEU5DVK3 instead of the G998U version with the carrier bloat.

Edit: I stand corrected, looks like Verizon also runs off of the U1 as well. Although I do not see any Verizon bloat on mine.

Hi everyone, today I want to share my experience of rooting OPPO A15s (CPH2179)

(Specs: Mediatek Helio P35, 4GB RAM LPDDR4x, 64GB storage, 2 nano SIMs 4G, SD card supported)

It seems like fastboot doesn't really work on newer OPPO phones, as neither did my phone get that to work. Trying "adb reboot bootloader" (of course after unlocking OEM in dev options) will give the "fastboot_unlock_verify fail".

It was such a pain in the ass for me trying to find a way to flash my phone with Magisk (fastboot failed, TWRP needs fastboot to flash), until I found mtkclient.

The steps are simple through the command line; I've got some bootloops, red code, etc... But those problems can be easily avoided if you made them right.

In the end, I still managed to make my phone gets rooted.

A thing to notice is that don't try to use the GUI interface; otherwise, you will get stuck in "Waiting for connection" while your phone still stays in BROM mode.

CLI is recommended.

OPPO phones have the Secure Payment feature, which helps to check the integrity of the system in order to allow banking apps to execute. This feature checks if your phone is rooted (you can hide that easily using Zygisk); and if your phone has an unlocked bootloader.

If one of those conditions is met, then banking apps will be blocked by a system banner. The system will also issue a root detection to the app so in case you made it to turn off the system banner, you won't be able to get into the app.

Losing the ability to use banking apps brought me a lot of inconvenience at the end of the day, so while I still have yet to find out a Magisk module to bypass the system check, I decided to relock my bootloader - which in order to do must delete metadata and userdata, of what that also made my phone unrooted.

If you are planning to root the OPPO A15s, visit mtkclient's Github link for the tutorial. Keep in mind that you'll still need a copy of the stock ROM in case of something goes nuts, and an ozip to zip decryptor to decrypt the stock ROM ozip file (OPPO sucks)

Links:

mtkclient: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

ozip to zip: https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt (bkerler massive tbh)

Do you have any suggestions or tips on how can you root the phone? I tried doing this but it always ends up with the handshake error everything i could do fails.

You have also seemed to forgot to link the mtk driver you used for presumably windows.
[General Topics] nobiDEV:
hello i was wondering too how can i root my oppo a15 CPH2185. to be able to modify some stuffs on this potato phone to be able to optimize and use for daily driver again, i have newer phone that i root easily, but this phone is painfull as u said hehe, and yea since i saw ur thread, and i was hoping that u help me with this, on how can i do it properly. and some troubleshooting if it goes wrong. Hopefully u see this :) thankyou!!
[General Topics] nhansp:
Sorry for the late reply everyone, as I've moved to using Pixel.

Whether you're on A15/A15s/... (which all uses the Helio P35, should work with mtkclient), you need to install some more drivers if you're using Windows. Unfortunately I forgot all the links, but you could go for mtkclient's GitHub thread. There's also flashing instructions for Magisk and other useful informations.

For those using the A15s, as I've never found out the ozip for this device, do a full backup of all partitions (wipe your data first). Although it takes a long time, you don't want to risk your device getting hard bricked, as you might have to replace the motherboard or even throw away the phone, which happened to me.

Good luck (and NEVER flash GSIs).

[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] pandaboyy:
I want to buy a nice case for my Fuze (around $20 or less). However, there aren't many out there (I'm looking for an HTC case if possible). I was told that a Nokia 95 size is somehow similar to the Fuze. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, do you have any case to suggest me? Would prefer to have something with a wallet, but an HTC OEM would be nicer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] lost_reaver:
I don't have a case to recommend that always ends up being personal preference. But I do have the dimensions of the 2 phones.

N95

Height = 3.9 inches = 99mm

Width = 2.1 inches = 53mm

Thickness = .08 inches = 21mm

Fuze

Height = 4 inches = 102mm

Width = 2 inches = 51mm

Thickness = .07 inches = 18mm

So it looks like the phones are very close in dimensions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] pandaboyy:
I got this case (for nokia N95) and I must say, it fit my fuze perfectly... the quality is quite good. My $10 well spent.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] rkistler:
Received today a "Bytech WST107-SM Case for Nokia N95" and it Mostly Fits my Fuze: the Fuze protrudes slightly from either end, which is facilitated by partial elastic bands that secure each of the two end pieces. (Given the close dimensions, would expect that the N95 must also protrude slightly from the ends of the main part of this case.)

Sorry no pictures yet: case came from TigerDirect for about $6. Needed something to fill out an order so took a chance: should prevent scratches, but the protruding corners are probably not so hot if unit gets dropped on one of them....

Actually looks pretty good & has nice belt clip (non-rotating), but won't expect it to last very long under hard usage: Good Quality Plastic (vinyl) as opposed to leather....

Still, it will do until find that One Right Case.... (not aware of any as yet, in spite of a number of Decent Options)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] ExTREmE99:
side by side my n95 and fuze are almost exactly the same height, width and length. so yes the case would fit.

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] luddano:

When I open the games in my PC / Switch / other phone it does work normally.

When I use my mobile data to open the games on the Moto Edge 30, it works normally.

I've already done a Network Configuration Reset, a Factory Reset, and it's still not working.

I've just bought the phone yesterday... I was very happy. But now I'm frustrated.

Can someone help? Thanks!
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] Benoni1:
I did on the phone as you wrote: You can try: Type data deletion/formatting

TWRP

yes (if errors, red lines, restart twrp and try again).

reboot twrp

flash and recovery rom

check if it is still the same. It is still in the phone settings that the phone is encrypted. In TWRP it doesn't want any code and not even mention of decryption. I didn't try backing up and restoring data in TWRP because of the encryption.

Not sure if this is possible.

But wouldn't it be great to sync the facebook phonebook with the cellphone . So that the facebook profile picture and number of your friends on facebook got synced with your diamond contacts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] audiophil:
Hi Killbox!

I've just investigated this one...

The FB API is VERY restricted, due to crawling/robot issues (I suppose) it's not possible to fetch the phone number or email address of neither your own profile or your friends' with the API.

Really takes away a lot of the edge with this kinda app.. One could parse the HTML for the phone number and OCR the email-image, but alot of detours for something that could've been soo easy!

If someone choose the HTML-parsing approach I suppose the legal staff at FB will be all over you in a blink, there's examples of similar apps experiencing that...

Pity...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Undisputed:
Is it possible to just take just the profile picture to sync with your contacts list. While phone numbers and email addresses would be good you only have to really enter them once(usually) but an up to date picture of my contacts would be really good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] midastocar:
Whilst not exactly what you're looking for:

http://www.melsam.com/outsync/

A program called OutSync develeoped my a MS Windows Mobile guy.

He got bollocked at one point for calling it Facesync due to the word 'Face' so he renamed it OutSync.

Basically it syncs your Facebook friends' photos with that of your Outlook contacts. Then, when you sync your device, voila, new photos.

Other than that, doesn't do much :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Undisputed:

I found the version pre-installed on the phone (from the 'Go' app from MIUI app store) didn't work well for notifications. This guide is also useful for all Play Store apps once you install them.

There are still a number of things that won't work even after completing all these steps

- No Android Auto/GPay support

- Cannot display Google Maps within 3rd party apps (Chrome still works)

- Cannot cast Youtube, Amazon, Netflix etc to Chromecast

- Microsoft Intune will not work

First, use this guide from the BS4 Pro forums for installing Google apps:

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-install-google-app-on-bs4-pro-on-cn-version-recall.4464373/

For all installed Google apps

1. Enable Autostart

2. Allow all permissions

3. Set battery Saver to 'No Restrictions'

From Notification Tab, some settings are important to enable

1. Allow notification badges

2. Allow floating notification

3. Allow lock screen notifications

Security->Security->Boost Speed

1. Go to top right settings icon

2. Select 'Lock apps'

3. Select all apps you want locked running in the background - make sure all Google System apps are locked

4. On the same settings window right below Lock apps, 'Clear Cache when devices is locked'. Set this to NEVER

Performance Manager->Battery assistant->power saving

1. Select 'close' under Daily Optimization

WLAN->WLAN assistant

1. Enable 'Traffic Mode'

2. right below select 'Balanced'

Other

1. For the missing equalizer, use 'Flat Equalizer - Bass Booster' from the GApp store

2. Install 'MIUI Downloader' to see some hidden menu features

3. MIUI Optimization (from developer settings). I've tried enabling/disabling this a few times during phone setup. I decided to leave it off but am not noticing any difference besides DPI changes and menu layouts. *note that toggling this feature will reset many app permissions*
