[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Davidasks:
Newbie here, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I recently purchased a Samsung T7 SSD specifically to use as extra storage for my Note 20 Ultra. Upon unboxing, I noticed that when connecting drive to phone with supplied USB-C to USB-C cable, the drive will not power on (no lights on drive). My phone will not recognize anything is connected at all. I then connected the drive to to my computer and it instantly powers on, I quickly unplugged it and connected it to my phone and the drive lit up and connected as it should. After unplugging and waiting 10 seconds or so, and reconnecting, nothing happens, no lights, nothing. I can even connect it to the usb-c input on the media center of my vehicle to power it on and then quickly plug it up to my phone and it will work fine.

I did do a restart of my phone with the drive plugged in and upon phone reboot the device was powered up, but it still will not get any power from port upon cold connection.

Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] silvergt2:
Did you try to check the cable, because something similar happened to me with a pny external ssd disk and the cable was the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Davidasks:
Yes, I tried several other cables with no luck. They all do the same. The cable that came with the drive works fine in with every other device I plug it into. Is there a setting that toggles power output from the phones USB-c port? It seems like the phone is not supplying enough power to the drive to start it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] KidF7:
Hello!

I just got an email from my very large company's IT department saying that I will no longer be able to use my google workplace apps because I my S9 has Android 10 and they no longer compare security patches.

The problem is that I've been waiting until the S23 comes out in January or February. I'm not experienced with flashing rooms etc., but can follow most instructions. Is there a way to put Android 11 (or later) on my phone without losing all my data/settings/apps or somehow fake that I have the update until the new phone comes out? Many thanks in advance.

don't know if this voids the warranty
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
YES, YES, YES,

You just need to be careful not to hard brick your F3 as there is no freely available Firehose and you have to pay to get it unbricked, costs around £25.

I`ve had my F3 for 13 months and installed 15+ Custom Roms without any issues.

Being able to unlock my bootloader for free was one of the reasons i brought the F3,

What a great phone:)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] 3zozHashim:
is there any official statement about this?

i heard alot about how xiaomi stays under warranty even after bootloader unlock

i heard alot of people just locked bootloader when going to service center and they were fine with it.

but were im at, they would rather use bootloader unlock as an excuse to avoid receiving the phone rather than fix it under warranty.

I flashed Hongkong firmware which is Android 13 just now and I patched boot.img with magisk and I flashed it, boot to system successfully, but after a while it turned off and rebooted to recovery, said that system may not in stock and may need to erase user data. I reboot it but same. So how to root in Android 13?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] raven213:
I patched my boot.img and after reboot to fastboot flashed patched img and reboot
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Mijan94:
This is what I've done however there is another thread which states to flash vbmeta also, is this required?

Also if possible could you give me information about how to setup newsflasher? As last I've used this it was on an Xperia x10i lmao now I see there's no .exe to it
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] raven213:
I didn't flashed vbmeta and for newsflasher just download the firmware and after copy all the files from newsflasher to the firmware folder.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] wednesyao:
I do the same when it's Android 12 and works well but today I flashed new firmware of Android 13, it failed.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] raven213:
What error do you get? I did a fresh installation of A13 maybe that's why?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] wednesyao:
Emm sort of. It's because of my thermal remove module of scene5, once I disable it my phone's back.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
I posted about this prior to buying the phone and other members on Verizon with unlocked phones swore up and down it'd work. I can't get mine working. When I try activating it from the settings after some time it just fails. Any tips? Any magisk modules to make it happen?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morphius88:
Do you have WiFI calling feature enabled on your verizon account? Its not one of those automatic features that you get just because the phone has it. Its called HD Voice.

If you dont have it on, follow these instructions: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-130983/

If you have it activated on verizon already then you might have some other issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ffuser1:
I have an unlocked phone on Verizon and wifi calling works fine. You have to activate the setting while you're connected to a wifi network., and have it enabled as per the above post. Do you get an error when trying to activate it in the phone settings?

If you disabled the app 'My Verizon Services' you won't be able to use wifi calling
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] biggiesmalls657:
I'm pretty sure I don't have My Verizon Services app and I have an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ffuser1:
I disabled that once with titanium backup and it broke wifi calling. If you haven't disabled it with titanium backup or swift backup, then you probably have that system app enabled. what error do you see in settings when you try to enable wifi calling?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LCRJR:
Install it from the play store and give it permissions, I'm curious if WiFi calling works also. I have a P6P Verizon branded, but want to get an unlocked P7P and stay on my current Verizon plan, but I have to have WiFi calling because of work conditions. I'm rooting for ya ! :cool:(y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] biggiesmalls657:
My wifi calling works, I just don't have Verizon bloatware with my phone being unlocked
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ffuser1:
That's not the same as the My Verizon app. I don't have that app installed. Maybe disregard that part of my previous post. It only applies to the SYSTEM app My Verizon Services that is on the phone, unclear if it autodownloaded when the SIM was inserted, but I suspect it did. I do not have the My Verizon app or any other Verizon bloatware on my phone, nor is it necessary for wifi calling on an unlocked phone (delete the bloatware after it autodownloads on sim insertion). In settings, you can look in the apps list, make system apps visible, and see if My Verizon Services is listed. If it's not, try restarting the phone with the sim card out, then inserting it after the os loads, and I suspect it will autodownload.

wifi calling works 100% on rooted/kirisakura'd unlocked p7p bought from google on Verizon's network.

wifi calling also worked 100% on rooted/kirisakura'd unlocked p6p bought from google on Verizon's network.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ptko15:
My unlocked p7p has myVerizonservices. I was able to activate wifi calling and all the other Verizon goodies. After activating it all, I disabled the app on apps. Now when I want wifi calling to work I have to put the phone in airplane mode then turn wifi back on, and that gives me WiFi calling. Voicemail and all that works just fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Working fine on my factory unlocked P7P.

View attachment 5762771
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LCRJR:
I just bought the Unlocked P7P. I'm on Verizon Proper service with wifi calling as part of my service. I don't plan on rooting it, unless I have to. If anything I would Flash the Verizon Firmware, which I'm hoping not to have to do. My question is out of the box after putting my sim in, will it have wifi calling highlighted so I can enable it, and will it work? Hope Sooo :cool:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ffuser1:
I have the general firmware/rom on my unlocked p7p on verizon and there was nothing special that I did to enable wifi calling. wifi calling is a standard feature that should work out of the box without any modifications
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LCRJR:
Thank You !!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Oc4u74:
Have you disabled any system apps related to Emergency info? I don't remember the exact apps name off the top of my head but I know when I froze/disabled one of those wifi calling would just hang and not activate like you are describing. After I activated it I disabled both My Verizon and Verizon Services and I still have wifi calling but I am rooted but on stock rom, not sure if that affects anything.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Title says it all. I can't get swift black to work. Its accent colors rook affect but the dark AMOLED black hasn't worked on anything
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] craigacgomez:
Assuming you mean this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers), it won't work. It was last updated in Feb 22, and it does not mention support for any version of Android greater than 10.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Barsky:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
There are other, more updated, Substratum themes you could use, e.g. Liv Dark, Iris, Iris Monet, Flux and some others.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Awesome. Thanks. I downloaded flux but it seems to be defaulting a lot of accents to a light aqua color. I didn't select it and I didn't even see it in the list of colors. Is this a default somehow?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Haven't used that one in a while, but it sounds like the default colors. Just select the colors you want to use.

I'm using a combination of Iris Monet, Liv Dark and Repainter.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] avid_droid:
Using subs or subs-lite?

Edit:

After looking I've only found subs-lite
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes, people should be using Substratum Lite.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kusti420:
google killed substratum
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
You can still use Sprite to get make the navigation buttons invisible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lelax:
Edit 3: TL;DR: This is appears to be an S8 exclusive error, it's shown in the recovery:

"Product device tree not found, couldn't verify firmware" or something like that. For solutions, please look that up.

So, I bought a bootlooping S8 in the hopes of fixing it.

Since OEM and FRP lock are on, I went with installing Samsung firmware on it, as installing a custom recovery at this point is not possible.

The default recovery wouldn't work, so I wasn't able to know which firmware exactly to flash, because I couldn't find out which model exactly I have bought.

I do not know the carrier of the device either, but it should be from some german provider.

All of the firmwares I tried just bootlooped, but the recovery works again, except for ADB, which is quite unfortunate, and I have no idea why it fails, the device shows up when I'm in the recovery menu, but as soon as I activate ADB, it's gone from the list of connected devices.

Combination firmwares sometimes show some turning gears animations, but then crash with some, thought often memory related, pretty random crash issue.

Another problem I am now facing is that in the process of trying to find a working firmware I now upgraded the devices "binary level"? (forgot what exactly it was called) to 6, so I can't flash any older firmware or combination firmware than 6, since downgrading isn't allowed.

I received the device with either binary level 1 oder 2.

My theory is that I don't have the right firmware, since I keep seeing dm-verity and license errors...

I am happy to provide logs if necessary.

The goal is to have an unlocked bootloader/ custom recovery.

I literally am going INSANE over this FRP blocking me from flashing TWRP and being done with this in under 10 minutes, please help :c

PS: Some random info attached

Edit 1: With the IMEI code i found while opening the phone I now know my model number: SM-G950FZKADBT.

Any tips for finding the PDA code of the originally installed system? Or finding a matching firmware?

Is this even neccesary? Why do official firmwares not work for me? :c

Edit 2: Somewhat solution: I think the only way to recover this device would be to find it's firmware, which is just NOT to be found...

So, until a miracle happens I'm gonna keep reading "Firmware is not valid" errors in the log :)

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Al Ferro:
Does anyone have by any chance the XQ CT72 Taiwan Android 12 firmware for the Xperia 1 lV? or can someone tell me how to get it.

My phone is running Android 13, but sometime ago I downloaded Android 12 from Xperifirm but I can't find it anymore in my PC.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
If your phone is running Android 13, I'm afraid downgrading will be impossible so you won't have any use for the firmware.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Al Ferro:
Yeah, I kinda had that thought about downgrading the firmware, but at this moment I found one or two annoying things about android 13, thanks anyway 👍
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] David.k20z1:
What did you not like about 13? I dont like how it doesnt have the wifi 4/5/6 icon on the top anymore, and dsds toggle is now gone, so my phone is stuck on single sim until i probably do a full reset.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kinggo2:
I don't like how they are putting more and more crap under the notification/quick settings pull. It became a total mess there now. Settings are now less populated than quick setting. Miss the days when pulling on the left side was doing one thing and pulling on the right was doing another. Which would make a lot of sense if we are talking about gesture navigation that they are forcing.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Al Ferro:
Notification sounds at least when using this phone don't sound quite right, they are like faded (sound) and low volume, sometimes they are played about half way or other times not even played (yes, I already adjusted the sound levels) this was not happening with android 12, I know that Sony has to come up with a new firmware to fix this bug. What I don't like about this version also is that Wallpaper Material thing, it's just horrible (sorry for being too picky😄).
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] kentottxxzz:
anyone can help me also in android 12 firmware file, i need it badly..thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I got Tab S5e a month ago. It was a 128 GB/6 GB version. Okay, since the day I picked it up, it works great and functions very well but it restarts randomly like twice a day.

What can I do to prevent this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Clear system cache and try a hard reboot.

Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app.

Any recently installed or uninstalled apps or updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I only have Telegram, Twitter, Keep Notes, Groove Coaster, Mario Kart, Mana, and Discord installed.

Still on UI 3.1 and Android 11.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I never allow any social media apps to be installed... they are malware by their very nature.

Check for memory leaks. That could cause that type of behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I've installed Telegram, Discord, and Twitter on my Tab A 9.7 and I never had the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You do now... and malware is a potential cause.

You are what you load.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I want to know how to Clear system cache and try a hard reboot on S5e and how to check for memory leak?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Google for the button combination.

Clear system cache is found on the boot menu.

A hard reset is sometimes called a soft reset and stimulates pulling the battery. On many Androids it's done by holding the power button down for 20-30 seconds until it reboots.

I've never seen a memory leak on an Android and once on an Apple app. More common on Window machines. The ram usage will kept creeping up until it runs out of ram and reboots.

The app causing it will show it in its memory usage in Developer options. Pretty easy to spot.

A poorly coded 3rd party app is usually the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I already did clear system cache which was successful and I gave it a day to see if it worked out but it didn't. It's still rebooting random every 6 hours especially when I'm not on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Does it happen in safe mode?

If so either the firmware is corrupted or it's a hardware failure. How old is the battery, it's current capacity? Did you check for a memory leak?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
I haven't set it on Safe mode.

How old is the battery? I got it off Amazon one month ago. The battery is just good and the battery life lasted so good and it never drains. I never used the tablet while it's charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Return it if you can. Twist their ears...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
Is there another way to prevent this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You really want to go through Samsung warranty?

Better get while the getting's good. Run through the Amazon🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
Oh yes, my S5e would stay up to about 11 hours until it restarted itself randomly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
And sometimes it restarts suddenly for like every 2 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] kokoroanime:
So I've switched it to the safe mode to see if it happened in Safe Mode or not but unfortunately, that tablet was up for 5 hours during Safe mode until it restarted itself again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] korsnick:
Hey all,

I just got the bootloader unlocked on my Hong Kong market SM-G9980 and was wondering about the current state of ROM options. It has the stock Android 11 that it shipped with on it now, but I want to make sure that I don't update it to 12 or 13 and then reduce my ROM'ing options (I remember back when I was trying to get one of these 6 months or so ago that if you update to Android 12 you were hosed, so I don't want to make that mistake.)

So apologies if this is a dumb question now in late 2022.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] KOST9L:
Hello. The sound on the phone disappeared in general, in all applications, when connecting headsets. Full 0. I didn’t do anything, I sat down on the phone, charged it, turned it on after charging and that’s it. It happened once after the foundation of the firmware and android 13, the reset helped. I thought it would work this time, but no. After the reset, the sound did not appear ...

After a long trial of different methods. I saw that after restarting the phone, if you immediately start the player. Then the music appears for 3-4 seconds and disappears and then again there is no sound until the reboot. I think this is due to the loading of some configs that are annoying, so the sound disappears. Question? So what's now...
[Realme GT 2 Pro] criszz:
Did you changed region?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Quake94:
Need more details...

Which app

USB C adapter or bt audio

Any conflicting apps running in background?

Root / stock

Chinese or global model
[Realme GT 2 Pro] KOST9L:
Firmware global Europe. It turned out to solve the problem by wipe date. And yes, there was no sound anywhere, neither in calls, nor in multimedia, nor in the headset.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] criszz:
You ignoring what ppl asked you. Why did you write here ? Obliviously for this kind of problem and after changing Android version a full wipe is needed/ recommended. Also that loss of sound could be a problem if you switch region improperly.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] KOST9L:
Well, you're funny. I wrote what happened. By the time I was asked a question about the specifics, a day had passed. I did not sit and update the site to find out who wrote what. I searched all over the internet for solutions. And I found it before they answered here. And yes, I didn’t change my region, the update came over the air!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dimm0k:
HELP! I was trying to re-lock my bootloader so I went into Developer options and turned off the OEM unlocking option, which told me to restart my device. restarting it brought me to the bootloader so I then issued the fastboot.exe flashing lock command and after that I'm getting the message No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot. what are my options??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] K1nsey6:
The correct command is fastboot flashing lock. If you can get into bootloader reflash the factory image and it should reboot
