Try naked or aramid/leather case. It's a lot more durable than you think! Most things that would do it in will render any other flagship into a pile of broken glass any way you look at it!

The camera is fine for what it is, typical Samsung processing keeping results within its limits unlike the S22 ultra that pushes sharpening to the extreme. ;-) The only thing I miss is the long zoom but the 30X stretch still works for sign reading when needed.

Hello guys, I have a P20 Lite with the bootloader unlocked and the latest version of emui 9. I want to install an Android 12 or 13 custom rom, Can you help me linking full and working guides or help me step by step?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
It's the same as with TWRP - the higher the number, the better :).

"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed."

However, nothing looks different in the post, and re-submitting shows the same thing. Deleting the extraneous newlines added at the end of the post doesn't fix it. I don't know what to do.

(screenshots of form with error for reference)

Even trying to reply to a post about the problem gives me the same cryptic error with no indication of what's wrong 😆 Also, if it says it removed the offending HTML, why would I get the error again?! Did it remove it or not? I can't even tell what it is, I'm not sure what to click to see the HTML anyway. It doesn't highlight what the offending thing is.

I'm gonna go nutz
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] shuajomi:
so i got a t-mobile(locked) version of fold 3 off amazon. i wanted to use on verizon. long story short.

1. got it for decent price looked at condition looks fantastic!

2. don't work called t-mobile, can't seem to unlock it. imei is clear and went to T store see if was paid off(i seem like its paid off after running imei).

3. sending back cost money... stupid me should have checked prime seller or not.

got like 60days or so before i have to send it back.

i tried just about everything i can or at least what i found online... i get error code on (connection-> more connection-> unlock permanent-> error 14,9)

im planning on returning it if there is no way to unlock sim (without the help of the carrier or third party shop). since its about 20buck to return. seem like online request is about 60buck or so (at least what i found) but then again im extremely skeptical about sending money online to questionable sites.

after reading most of the forums in xda regarding unlocking sim. CSC flashing will not change the sim lock status? its just about updates and bloatware or certain features not available in certain countries.

is there a way anyone found sim unlock is possible? if so i seem to missed it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Talderon:
This is a common thing that people think that talking about Unlocking things on a phone here on XDA, there is an assumption that it include SIM Unlock.

Unfortunately, it does not. :( If you cannot find an official way (which is all we can talk about here), then you'll have to try somewhere else.

In the past, using SIM Unlock services worked well, but now, it's pretty hit and miss. If you want to try one of the paid services, I would suggest doing the following:

1. Review and research a site before sending money

2. Make sure they have a money back guarantee if they cannot unlock it

3. Use a payment method that will protect your purchase

- PayPal can be an option, but disputed for them are hit and miss

- Use a credit card that has purchase protection

Just be careful if you decide to go this way, but, unfortunately, outside of what I posted, this is probably the most people are going to say on this.
[Android TV General] ¡¿Kathyyy1212?!:
So I made a TWRP device tree for it using twrpdtgen by SebaUbuntu and I’m doing the repo sync of the twrp minimal manifest but I haven’t really built TWRP for a device before. The device tree is android_device_mbox_dolphinp1 but I will also try to make it obvious that that device is also the Easytone… etc so it is easy to find and I will make XDA post when it is fully complete. The main thing I need to do now is double check all the stuff in the build tree and any settings I want TWRP to have in boardconfig.mk and compile and test it. I own this device so if all goes well it could be at least booting by the end of the week. Is there anyone with TWRP building experience that would be willing to help if I make any stupid mistakes? The end goal is to make an official TWRP build on the TWRP website. This year I may also consider looking into ROM development just because I really love tinkering with this device and I would love to see it running a custom ROM with the Android TV controls and features in mind. I also want to help anyone who bought this device and was disappointed by the stock experience, which can be slow and clunky to say the least.

[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Sobasoba:
This issue started yesterday and I tried rebooting but the power button still heats up fast after starting up the phone. All the heat is concentrated on the power button where the fingerprint sensor is also located. What could be the cause of this issue?

Also, the battery temperature and other spots of the phone seem normal

Edit: I can't unlock my phone via fingerprint, it's probably because of this heat issue as well

Edit 2: Now that I wanted to try removing fingerprint unlock, it's nowhere to be found in the security and passwords settings
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] mihirjha:
it seems your fingerprint is conked off and related component such as the IC or resistor was heating up.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Sobasoba:
Do I need to bring my phone to the service center immediately or can I hold off for a few day?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] mihirjha:
If its not heating anymore i think its okay to hold off, however if it still heating you should take it, as it could ruin the motherboard.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] billsaun:
If I can edit this post, this will be a howto.

Path to get here:

- Installed TWRP successfully

- Think I installed Magisk successfully

- Not sure if I tried to flash a rom

- Would not boot

- Had a stupid idea to try booting off slot B

- black screen.

Current state:

- Will not boot, cannot start recovery (volume down w/ power)

- Only thing it will do is flash the LED if I hold down the power long enough. Flashes approximately for about 30 seconds 1 second apart

Items tried

- Ordinary USB cable watching Win 10 device manager with every combination of buttons I could think of

- Ordinary USB with Motorola / Lenovo Recovery & Smart Assistance with no luck.

- Purchased 2x different EDL USB cables, tried every combination of buttons, still nothing in Device Manager

- Screaming at it

- Calling Moto support and asking to pay for a reflash even though it was under warranty because I broke it, therefore Moto shouldnt loose money to fix my stupidity. The support staff in who knows where would not offer me anything but $199 to repair or free under warranty. Making Moto pay for my stupidity is one reason they wont let us have a reflashable phone...they dont want to pay to support me.

So I read

- Newer phones dont work with the EDL cables. True?

- Somewhere there's a photo of the EDL test points. If it comes to paying Moto the same price for replacement as I paid for the new phone, I'm going to solder 2 wires to the test points and run them through the case. Put in some jumper connector so I can fix the damn thing without effort.

- Is there any way to get the blankflash from a KNOWN Moto or Lenovo site? Or the stock rom again from a Moto or Lenovo site and a method to extract it to find or create from the stock a functional blankflash. (Yes I have read, it may be signed, maybe nobody can mod it, I just dont want to trust stuff I dont get from Moto/Leno. I wish I could get the full source from them and then I'd be in a happy world)

So, basically: EDL cables work on this or do I have to use test points? Any links to download blankflash (oh and tool as well) from Moto/Leno? (or minimally have a linux open source bit o code that will flash the blankflash files).
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
It should go straight to EDL when booting fails as long as the bootloader is unlocked afaik. You only need to short test points to recover OEM locked devices.

No official blank flashes either, they are leaked. You can rip the programmer from an existing blankflash and build your own if you really want. They are signed by Moto and will not work on devices they are not meant for.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] billsaun:
Thx for contribs!

So, if I bought it unlocked from Best Buy, followed the bootloader unlock stuff which I had to get Moto accounts for...

then the test points wont save me?

Ie I should be investigating why it doesnt show up in Windows?

I thought it always showed up in dev manager but you needed drivers to make sense of it.

Right now it's nothing but black screen and flashing led no matter how I try buttons (long press power, hold up press power, hold down press power).

All of the above and nothing happens in Windows or on the phone (cept the led).

I was about to start tearing it apart tonight...
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
I'd try Linux or another cable/computer first, you should get a black screen and notification led in EDL mode. Shorting the test pins will get you into EDL if nothing else works.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] billsaun:
Thanks for the advice. With the 2x special EDL cables one of which says it wont work on Moto's only Xianomi's...I get nothing but a flashing white light. Also the flashing white light is not directly associated with the cable button. Only the cable insert (sometimes) or the phone power button.

I've never seen anything in Win dev manager NOR have I ever seen anything in linux "watch -n 1 lsusb". I double check kern.log but also think thats never shown anything.

Another XDA thread said (regarding "newer Moto's") "Cables don't work any more and you need to use test points.

I'd love to see our gov force these companies to provide "parts". Can you imagine buying a Ford and them blocking you from using generic parts and also not providing you Ford parts?

This whole tech dominated environment is crap. Property ownership is a right. I cant steal your lawnmower, and you cant steal mine. When I lease a phone from someone...I cant screw with it cause I dont own it. When I buy a phone...its mine...I can do whatever I want. If I buy a lawn mower, and ride it to rob a bank...Deere doesnt outlaw mods to lawnmowers...it points me to the FBI who arrests me for robbing the bank.

Leave my phone alone. Provide clear paths with the software "parts" to repair the phone on my own.

Ok, I went off track.

Tonight...touch points that some stranger (sorry, nice guy) says are the 2x points on the MB to trigger EDL. Let's hope they dont actually short the thing out and ruin it. Why cant we get the gov to pull its head out of its...

Again, off track...

Details later on my test points. Specifically with a normal USB cable, touching the points, does anything happen in Windows dev manager? Also, if repeated in linux does lsusb now show QDL.. or kern.log?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
In Linux you'd run the "lsusb" command and it should show "ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)". In Windows it'd show up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" (or "Unknown Device" if the driver is missing). My bricks have always just booted into EDL themselves so I don't have experience with having to use test points.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] billsaun:
Updates:

- Moto will not repair the device even if I pay for the repair. Since I broke it, I asked how much would cost just to reflash a perfectly fine phone. A nice person said $100 and I said fine, I broke it, I'll pay. Then they put me on hold and came back 10 minutes later and said "sorry, they told me that they wont repair it.".

To repeat, just to be clear, this company would rather fill a landfill with perfectly good hardware than repair the phone. Probably because the phone is built in a country where our laws don't reach. It's just branded with an American companies name...if still American. No, I'm not being nationalistic. My guess is in some foriegn country, a person bought a rebranded American product and was told their company would not repair it. Imagine if you bought a sedan, took it 4 wheeling and the tire fell off. Sure it's your fault, sure you're willing to pay to fix it...no, the manufacturer has locked down your product and you can't get anyone to fix it.

argghhh

We disassembled the phone, hooked it up to the computer, tail /var/log/kern.log, and touched the touch points. Nothing. Unplugged and replugged the normal USB-C cable and doing that with the power down got a flashing light. Nothing on the computer at all. Not in kern.log, not in lsusb output.

I'm open for ideas but at this point, I think I'll donate it to a cell phone repair shop and never buy this companies product again.

The phone is $200 brand new from Best Buy. Moto probably made $125? Surely they could just say "we'll repair it for $125 or send you a new one". They could then bury them in a landfill like Amazon does product and get 10 years before that was found out.

Yes, I unlocked the bootloader. Yes, I voided the warranty. I want to PAY to have it fixed.

ps- TWRP + magisk + something else and then boot from a different slot = VERY BAD IDEA
[Moto G Stylus 5G] arkansawdave74:
When I got (one of) the first Styluses I went straight to the park across the street and rooted it. Later, when I opened the camera, I got a faulty hardware message. The Metro store wouldn't help even though I just bought it (they had to call the cops on me)so, I called Motorola immediately thinking since I only bought it two hours ago they might stand behind the warranty anyway, even though the bootloader was unlocked. They could have made me a very loyal customer (I already was and told them this was my 4th Stylus this year and it really was) by helping me, and had the tables been turned I would have sure stood behind my obviously defective product, but they said, "To Bad So Sad." I've not been much of a fan of Motorola ever since which really sucks because all my phones are Motos and all my laptops are Lenovo. They did, however, send me a free stylus when I told them it had broken. A free stylus. I had that phone with the broken camera for months.

H.R.4006 - Fair Repair Act 117th Congress (2021-2022)​

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4006

This bill requires an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to make diagnostic, maintenance, and repair equipment available to independent repair providers.

Specifically, for digital electronic equipment sold or used in the United States, an OEM shall make documentation, parts, and tools available to independent repair providers in a timely manner and on fair and reasonable terms. Further, if an OEM has made an express warranty for digital electronic equipment with a wholesale price of $100 or more, the OEM must provide such items at an equitable price and convenience of delivery to enable the repair of the equipment during the warranty period.

The bill provides for enforcement of its provisions by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general.

I have my fingers crossed that this bill passes.

I'd like all phones to have JTAG programmer points, clearly defined, accessible, and the ROMs publicly available (md5sum checkable) from the company that made the phone. That would be trusted. Getting the blank flash tool to blank flash some 3rd party (possibly or possibly checksumed but not download from the manufacturer) and then deploy a 3rd party recovery tool which will deploy a 3rd party ROM...is not safe nor can it be trusted.

and...I LOVE twrp/GIS/ASOP/... Not having root is not to protect me...its to lock me in. Only being able to use 3rd party tools...is dangerous.

If you are in America, write your senator...it wont do any good...but write them, force that bill to be passed, explain that their big compaign contributor, that a company which is large part of their stock portfolio...is screwing the American public and destroying the environment...and plainly...stealing. Will it matter...no, but at least you can say you tried.

Technically, I'm still dead in the water. Hold the power button down and the LED will after 15 seconds start blinking once a second. Indicates some type of software is functional and controlling the LED. Unsure if it's enough to resurrect the phone.

Any advice?
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] tylerwright606:
Hello can I take a v500n motherboard and put it in a non korean non international v50? I understand the rear pogo pins wont be available unless I put the korean v500n rear cover on the body of the non korean phone.

I was told by a highly LG Phone educated person that the v500n motherboard will not work in a Verizon LG v50 body. I assume this is due to the different antennas/hardware located off the main motherboard. If anyone can shed light on this to confirm for me I would love that.

Questions though.

Can a korean rear cover fit onto a non korean body?

Will the Korean motherboard work with the non korean screen?

Where are the antennas located, if I transplant only the korean motherboard will I also need the korean cellular antenna or is it located on the board itself?

Thank you for any help with this.

I appreciate everything.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] RobertR3750:
I recently switched to Spectrum Mobile from Tmobile. I've been considering buying the OnePlus 10 Pro, but Spectrum claims the phone is not compatible with their network. I'm skeptical of their claim. They are an MVNO of Verizon, which sells the OnePlus 10 Pro, and I've read that the phone is compatible with Verizon. I also showed Spectrum the GSM frequency bands that the phone has without telling them it was a 10 Pro, and they said they use GSM. It was only when I mentioned the name of the phone that they said it's not compatible. Would anyone here be able to verify their claim?

From OnePlus:

Please note these BANDS

LTE-FDD：B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 66, 71

[OnePlus 10 Pro] XxBigBuckxX:
I see, I already had spectrum service. I just inserted my SIM card and it worked. I did sell my OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren to somebody and they were unable to activate it directly with spectrum and I had to let them use my iPhone IMEI to activate it.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] XxBigBuckxX:
Good choice
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Guyinlaca:
In past experiences, unlocked phones will only work with SIM cards that were already activated on carrier branded devices.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Don't buy the 10, I'd rather have the 8 or 9 or 11 over this...

Or the np2 or even np1 over the 10.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] tchester55:
Why's that
[OnePlus 10 Pro] joaobalao:
I have it on spectrum and can confirm that the 10 pro is compatible. No issues, Just put in a sim and go. Sounds like you already have service, correct? If so, you can use your existing sim on it. If you have an Esim, you'll need to go through some headaches to get a physical sim first, namely provide them an IMEI of an officially supported phone to have a sim delivered to you.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] RobertR3750:
You missed my post where I said I decided to go with a Google Pixel 7 Pro instead.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] webhook:
I agree, just buy a Google Pixel 7 Pro because that'll at least give you no headaches.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] skyhonor:
Hi, I need help and looked almost everywhere for answers. For the past few days, I've been trying to recover the photos and videos on my phone. The screen went completely black last week and I've restarted it thinking this would fix the problem. It didn't and now I can't even get past the PIN unlock. The phone still works when connecting with an HDMI cable, but I'm unable to get past the pin unlock.

I tried using an HDMI adapter hub and connected with a keyboard to no avail. The keyboard powered on, but anything I tried pressing on my keyboard the phone didn't respond to the keys, numbers, and all. Also even tried using a mouse.

I also tried using Samsung Dex, but I just couldn't get past the startup PIN.

What can I do to retrieve my files?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
A data recovery specialist may be able to retrieve them.

Always regularly and redundantly backup critical data.Another disadvantage of not having a SD card slot as it's data if unencrypted it would by accessible
[Samsung Galaxy S22] skyhonor:
Thank you for your kind response. Would it be possible to have the screen fixed then I'd be able to have a working phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Perhaps. That may increase the risk of data lose though. If it was me I would have written the lost data off already. I've lost a database that was 30 yo and not replaceable. Some lessons are learned the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] skyhonor:
Man, that's a terrible and awful lesson to learn. But you are right, that's the hard way. I'm going to try one last thing, I can't give up, I'm going to purchase a wireless keyboard and pray that I can type my pin in.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] M1chiel:
You can also connect a USB mouse, but then you have to find out where on the screen the numbers normally appear.
