[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Expect to do a reload if you flash new firmware; it's best practice. Constant firmware upgrades aren't needed or productive. Rule #1 - if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! Firmware upgrades/updates can and do break devices.

All critical data should already be redundantly backed up on multiple hdds that are physically isolated from each other and the PC. Any time you play with the firmware you risk data lose. Otherwise it can happen at any time. Although rare, it happens... digital data is extremely fragile unless properly backed up.

Time is on your side; look before you upgrade. Let Mikey try it first.

Use that time to formulate a restore strategy, to organize everything needed to do a full reload without cloud based junk. OTG flashsticks can be used but always have hdd copies as well and never encrypt backups. Never use SmartSwitch as a primary backup; it can fail you miserably. Copy/paste folders, then verify size and readability. Never clone music files. More backup copies are better than less...

I got a Galaxy Tab A7 which was factory reset because the owner (my friend's niece) forgot the pin, but FRP was on and she doesn't remember the email she used on installation, so it can't get past the first installation screens. No, it's not stolen, I can post a purchase receipt here if needed. :rolleyes:

It's on stock android, bootloader and OEM are locked, unfortunately . I tried using the adb procedure, but get an "error: closed" message, and all commands fail. Is there any way to unlock it, or it's bricked beyond hope?

[General Questions and Answers] 0xf331dead:
First of all power down the device, then you have two posibilities:

push volume up + power until the device boots up, this will boot you into a chinese recovery, where volume down serves to move between items, volume up to go back and the power button to select. The last entry serves to reboot and the eMMC one to factory reset. you can see this menu here.

push power for 3 seconds and wait for the screen to power up, then push power until the screen goes off, then push volume up ONLY until the device boots up again, here you will receive a menu where you can choose between normal boot, recovery (which shows up the typical android recovery) or fastboot, (which is not userspace)

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] redblood252:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is a Lineage OS distribution for Lenovo Tab 11 Pro with the reference TB-J716F. If not, is it possible for me to build one? I'm a noob in custom ROMs, but I'm willing to learn
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ungeskriptet:
LinageOS doesn't specifically support this tablet. You can however flash a GSI (Generic System Image) since this tablet supports Project Treble with this guide. Make sure you have updated to the latest ZUI update before flashing the GSI.

Right now I'm using Andy Yan's LineageOS GSI builds, they work great on this tablet

The GSI used to have some annoying bugs but after the latest ZUI 14 update they got fixed.

I tried making a normal LineageOS port, but it's really hard and the build process always takes very long. The errors are hard to understand too

For example:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash system XYZ.img

fastboot reboot recovery

Make an factory reset

Reboot

My Flip 4 has not yet been updated to Android 13 so I can't confirm exactly what you see. But I'll note that my Samsung S21, recently updated to Android 13 is suddenly doing what you're seeing:

So yeah, I think Samsung may be locking things down. :-(

This might be a reason to hold off updating to Android 13, if debloating is important to you.

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] redrooster62:
I am thinking to buy a Motorola X30 Chinese Version that will come with the Global Rom already installed from the seller.

The seller states that it does not support OTA updates.

I have to know how I can update the software when updates are available but I am not tech savvy when it comes to this stuff.

If someone could reply on how to do it then I can decide if I can handle it or if too complicated then I have to forget about this purchase.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Killuminati91:
First off: Dont buy converted phones. We have a few frankenstein devices here that have been converted using questionable means - its not possible to unlock the bootloader and you dont get OTA's.

Check my guide, learn the basics and go for the CN model if you really want to. I wouldn't as I can not recommend any Motorola device due to the still unusable buggy camera.

I will also get rid of this phone in the next 10 days if Motorola does not fix it until then.
