It seems that most glass screen protectors work just okay for fingerprint in my experience. I have figured out that the trick seems to be setting it up right. The instructions indicate that you need to move you finger into various positions, but instead I have found that it is better to just use the finger position you typically will use but in varying degrees of pressure on the screen. I hope that makes sense....in other words it helps to put your finger on the screen lightly, then keep it in essentially the same position but press slightly harder several times.
[Google Pixel 6a] JoeHockey:
Hmmm...that's an interesting idea. I'll have to give it a try, I've tried everything else. At some point I'll take the time to just remove my screen cover to see if it helps. Thanks!

I've been using an old generic matte PET screen protector designed for an older pixel phone without any problems, so i don't think you need to get an "approved" one. I didn't increase sensitivity setting either.

6a's fingerprint reader works consistently for me, except maybe a rare misread every few months because my finger was very dry or something. In those instances, I unlock successfully with my other registered finger.

I bought a used realme 7 pro that restarts every 10-15 minutes

It doesn't go into fastbot but only into recovery mode

It has build RMX2170_11_F.23.

How can I reflash the phone?
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Sometimes formatting data/factory resetting can fix the issue.

Or if you want to flash a new firmware, then, download a firmware, that comes in .ozip format, transfer it to your SD card, and flash it through it.

If you have some luck, also you can try, updating via Wi-Fi.
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lucasat:
Thank you for the answer ... I have already tried to format several times by restoring the factory settings but the problem remained

Having installed the latest version and my recovery doesn't recognize my upload via local .ozip (see picture)

I think the ota didn't go perfectly...

Do you recommend installing the PU version? But then I can put the 11_F23?
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Is It your bootloader unlocked?

If your device has Qualcomm there is a tool here in XDA, to flash the . ofp file (fastboot is available through other method, If your device has a MediaTek, SoC, also there are other tools to flash it.

About that specific firmware you're asking, if it is an update, you may flash it.

What is the issue with the file update not recognized?
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lucasat:
My bootloader is locked and the device has qualcomm snapdragon.

The firmware is the latest UI3.0 installed via ota 3 days ago.

I installed deep testing to unlock the bootloader but it doesn't work .... now I'm trying this procedure (https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368) and I will keep you informed if it works with UI 3.0 too

Nothing... It's still under warranty and will go to the service center
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] engage4:
If restarting occurs exactly certain time period its firmware problem. otherwise battery or emmc fault.
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Strange, your recovery doesn't have the option to update through the local directory.

It could be the best, probably it's a hardware issue that comes from the battery flex cable.
[Realme 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lucasat:
I also think it's a firmware issue

Unfortunately not

for this reason I sent it to the service center

Sorry, but my english is not very good, but i will try to explain my problem.

I have the O2 XDA Star.

Yesterday I want to update my ROM, but the installation failed by 15%.:eek:

Also I tried to install the ROM once again, but the installtion didn't want to start.

Now I also see the 3-color display (blue, green red).

In the left corner of this display you see the text :

NIKI300

SPL-1-16-0000

CPLD-4

Is there a chance to get the XDA running?:confused:

Where can I get the original o2 XDA Star WM 6.0 ROM?

Ich kann zumindest nicht mehr per Explorer auf das Verzeichnis auf dem Handy zugrifen oder irgendwelche Dateien drauf kopieren.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] simon211175:
Hi. I've just received a galaxy watch 5. It's connecting via Bluetooth to my phone (Vivo X80 Pro) but when I try to set up the mobile connectivity it's telling me "EE doesn't offer mobile plans for your watch"

Obviously it does as I bought it from EE with a mobile plan.

Does anybody know why it won't connect?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] RexEscape:
Contact your mobile carrier and let them know. They need to enter your watch's IMEI # to their system.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] simon211175:
Did that. They said it won't work without a Samsung phone (I don't believe that) and my only options were to a) buy a Samsung phone or b) pay £20 a month for a watch that I can only connect via Bluetooth.

I told them they can have the watch back.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] gcounts:
I had a GW4 lte on s standalone plan from Verizon. I bought a GW5 pro lte to replace the GW4. Verizon was unable to connect my GW5 to the same line I had or even a new line. 7 hours on the phone with numerous reps and 3 tier two techs produced nothing. The last tier two tech I spoke to said the watch was faulty and I should return it to Samsung. I was livid. I got online, went to Mint mobile ran my z fold 3 IMEI to generate the qr code and connected my GW5 with that qr code. 10 minutes and it was done. It's a standalone plan $15 per month, I know there are cheaper plans but I don't care. My watch activated and works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] simon211175:
I got it working after what must be hours of work.

I borrowed a Samsung A41 from a friend and connected the watch to that to activate the eSIM plan with EE.

I reset the watch to pair again with my Vivo phone. The phone wouldn't see the watch to pair. Brilliant.

I dug out my old phone (Realme 8 Pro), set it up and tested to see if that would pair with the watch; it worked fine.

So my initial issue of my Vivo phone pairing with the phone but not allowing the eSIM activation has now progressed to me having what could be a fully working watch, but with a phone that can't see it.

I decided as a last shot, I would try some reverse psychology.

I connected the watch back to the Galaxy A41. All good so far.

With the watch working, I then connected the watch via the watch's Bluetooth menu to my Vivo phone. It paired successfully.

The Wear app on my Vivo then saw it, but couldn't set it up (assuming as it's already set up on the Galaxy).

I reset the watch again but left the Wear app on my Vivo with the watch visible in the "pick your device" screen.

It worked, including the mobile plan. All good. What a fecking nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] Laiserwurst:
Hey Every One

I have a Galaxy A 21s on wich I broke the Screen.

Now a few Yeas later I replaced the LCD but forgot my Password.

-Usb Debuging is Disabled.

-No Custom ROM installed, so i cant delete the Password File.

-oem Unlock is alsoe disabled.

-Find my Phone is deactivated and Google recovery also.

I have now tried a lot of ways to get to my Data but nothing worked so far.

My last resorts are trying to get a full Backup of the Phone and use it in an Android Emulator to Brutforce my Passcode.

or install Custom Recovery, restor my Backup and delete the Password File or get in with adb.

Hence my question woud it be possible to Make a Complet Backup, wit example Odin and use it in an Emulator or restore it on a Rooted Phone?

If any one knows further ways of getting back my Data im open to try things out.

Thanks for the Help.

Edit: I found that i could use adb Sideload to install Apps from stock Recovery. The only Problem i woud need to spoof the signature of the .zip im trying to instal, maybe any one knows a way wit that method?
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If you can't access it you can't copy anything.

A data recovery specialist that works with Samsung's might be able to.

I never set a lock on mobile phones or PC bios because you are the one most likely to get locked out! Security is physical, one will pay with blood for trying to steal my phone.

I redundantly back up all critical data often and keep backups in separate locations. Never encrypt backup drives. Hdds are best, flash for quick "dirty" backups. I use my 1tb SD card as a data drive then back that up. Also use two .5th OTG flashsticks.

Phone is always cased. Don't put yourself in the predicament again. Think it through and tie up the loose ends before they trip you. I've lost entire, irreplaceable databases before, not fun.

There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to backing up critical data. Digital data is otherwise very fragile.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] luigioottoo:
Hi, I am in the same situation as you. I forgot the pattern but I really need to recover some data before restoring the phone. With the stock recovery were you able to remove any protection via adb sideload? Thanks

Try booting in safe mode

If that doesn't work, you can try to boot into recovery. The Recovery menu exists on the 4K stick and earlier FireTVs, I don't know if it still exists on the 4k Max, but worth a shot.

How to unbrick by entering Recovery Mode and Factory Reset the Amazon Fire TV

If you've managed to brick your Fire TV or for whatever reason are unable to get to the settings menu to perform a factory reset, here is how to enter recovery mode without fully booting into the Fire TV's operating system.

If neither of those two options work, it's time to use the 1-year warranty and get it replaced.

Is there a way to fix it without a keyboard? Heard something about ADB and connecting the Firestick to a computer, but it hasn't worked.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
User authorization is needed to connect a new device via ADB. If you haven't connected your computer to your FireStick before already, and granted authorization, you won't be able to now, since the authorization screen only shows on your TV after you have already booted up.

There is also no guarantee that the system is booting far enough to start ADB on the FireTV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leshelp:
That sucks, although understandable. Any other ways to get out of the bootloop or an USB keyboard dongle is needed?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
Without a keyboard the only way to influence the Stick is with your remote. And all you can do with the remote is initiate a factory reset

Press and hold the Left button, Menu button, and Back button at the same time.

But this only works if you get far enough in the boot process for the remote to connect.

Hello, tell me pliz, is there a way to fix this?

after turning it on, it immediately gets into the Recovery mod,

if you connect the keyboard, it only reacts to combinations of 5 buttons which makes the factor default, but just a quick overload and again recover

up and down buttons do not respond, input and remote too,

I tried to connect to AbdLink, it seems like the device is seen but writing unauthorized

does not respond to reboots from the application.

Is there any chance to fix this?

I haven't been in the phone flashing game for a while. I'm not seeing many topics regarding my Xperia 1ii (Docomo version) Because there are locked bootloaders nowadays or something? Would like to flash a global ROM on it but I don't see official TWRP support for it either.

Not receiving the Android 12 updates either even though I should by now. I'm in South East Asia, is my location causing the update not to get pushed over?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] WOLF33B:
using Japaneses model doesn't mean it always locked, i have AU version of xz1 that unlocked and have xz3 global that locked.. but yeah. most Japaneses model are locked. if you are locked. or only want to flash global. there no need to unlock it. or use twrp or other recovery. in fact flashing official rom doesn't even use recovery mode at all. it use download mode(if im not mistaking it)and with tool like xperia Firmware downloader and newflasher. you can flash any official rom to your docomo one.

BUT. REMEMBER!!

1.Japaneses smartphone use special nfc hardware that different than global. your nfc will go bye bye if you flash global rom in there.

2.careful. do research before flashing. xperia devices is not as easy as samsung or xiaomi. 1 mistake can be fatal. if lucky it only bootloop. but if unluck, from software/feature glitch, locked(sim/ubl) or just refuse to detected(A.k.a permanent dead)

i been use xperia devices since z4 era. and trust me it more scare to change official rom on locked devices than swap custom rom or install mod like magisk,etc on unlocked devices even manually modified system file are better than change to global on locked devices,
[G1 General] naars90:
sorry to be such an ignoramus but wth is "root"? been trying to do my research but all I come up with is a bunch of tech terms I don't really understand...basically, if anyone can explain in layman's terms what it is, what it does, and how essential it is to the g1, i would really appreciate it...thanks in advance...
[G1 General] mrboyd:
root is the name of the most powerful administrative account on Unix operating system.

You may know that Unix (Linux is a Unix. G1 runs on Linux) has user based permission so that a normal user cannot modify the file of the system or of another user. (unless permissions are given)

a "root" account can do anything he wants on the system, delete or change file anywhere, access any resource of the computer.

It's important to people who want to modify their G1 because without "root" access you cannot modify the system files. For example if you want to modify the startup picture you have to replace a file on the G1 that is owned by the root. So as a normal user since you don't have the permission to modify file you cannot change your startup picture. That is why people want root.

Because root is all powerful, root is dangerous. If you are root the system will let you do anything even if it is dangerous.
[G1 General] naars90:
thank you thank you very much....but now that I know, it's somewhat scary to have this on your phone when you can actually brick your phone if mess around with this "root" thing...
