[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
That is not the point. Many things such as change IMEI’s are disallowed in Xda. But it anwser your question, can you enter the system, or are you stuck on the managed screen?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
Tab boots and asks tells device is managed by company and asks for password. I can get into bootloader as well but factory reset seems to be disallowed. I did flash ROM, rooted and stuff like that years back so I'm familiar with process of doing something one shall not be doing but I'm wondering if it's possible with tab in current setup
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
What do you mean disallowed? Boot to recovery and reset form there? What happened if you try?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
If that doesn’t work try flashing stock

MDM blocks reset. View attachment 5817869
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Don't get XDA in legal trouble. This isn't the dark web.

The reason it's lock is because the owner wants it locked. How thoughtless of them.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
He legally purchased it. You may want to try to return it to the seller.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgilderhus:
I actually have somewhat the same problem, however it is MY tablet. Samsung Tab 3, was setting tablet up for first time and also enrolled in new MDM platform with heavy restrictions. Tablet soft-bricked while applying may initial OS updates. It now boots to the black samsung logo and no further. Oddly, when it booted, it was chedking into MDM, but none of the policy changes to reduce restrictions were being received. I disenrolled it but to no avail.

I can enter Recovery mode, but factory reset is not available. I can enter ADB sideload mode and ADB sees the device, but the sideload of the stock recovery errors with failed signature verification. Same thing with an SD card load. I see the option to reboot to bootloader in Recovery Mode, but when I choose it, it does a "normal" boot and gets to the black samsung logo. The key combo to enter downlod / odin mode does not work either - the tablet just enters a reboot loop while I am holding the buttons. The only thing I have not reied is different stock ZIP files from the SD card, which I will continue to try. I have also tried all other recovery options - optimize apps, wipe cache partition, etc. Any ideas appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arealhooman:
So you can’t factory reset, even from recovery? Did you try to disable Knox packages using adb?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

Why would you do that?! That's not a normal setup option...

Contact Samsung tech support if you purchased the device new and you're the legal owner. They may help you...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgilderhus:
Correct, factory reset is not available - removed as part of the MDM policy. I didn;t know about disabling Know, but tried tried adb shell command and retutrned error: closed. The device is recognized in ADB in sideload.

[Android Head-Units] strikeblaze:
Just installed an idoing headunit on my 2019 WRX. Everything works great, but it seems to have issues saving my phone for Bluetooth. I can initally connect to my phone just fine, android auto wireless works great. But when I go to park my car for more than 10 minutes, it seems to lose my phone as a paired device. When this happens, it won't auto connect, and I have to click the "BT Reset" button in the bluetooth app settings to get my phone to show back up on the "Paired devices" list. Then I can connect to it. Whats weird is if I turn my car off and turn it back on within a couple of minutes, it doesn't lose my phone as a paired device and auto connects. Seems to happen when the car is parked and the head unit is off for more than 10 minutes. Anyone had this issue and have any tips? Thanks

Hello, gentalmens i have a question im a qubo p668 owner, my phone its very laggy what os should i try? The phone hardware are very low.

Sorry for my bad english.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
What is the original operating system of your device? Have you tried the 'wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition'?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KiYOxz:
I saw an ad for a Google Pixel 6 PRO that doesn't accept a physical SIM chip, allowing only eSIM usage. The problem is that the Pixel eSim is not unlocked in my country, so there is no possibility to use it. I wanted to know if with root I could circumvent this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lil_michelle:
My pixel 6 Pro has a physical nano sim
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KiYOxz:
Yes, but apparently there was a carrier block for physical Sim entry. The only one available is the eSIM but it is blocked in my country. I wanted to know if I can unlock one of the two entries with root.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lil_michelle:
Oh I see, I've never seen that. I would check the LSPosed repo and magisk repo and see. Sorry can't answer it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sp_Ark:
When you say esim is locked in your country you mean the carriers offer esim for other models but pixel 6p is not compatible? If that's the case I'm 99.9% sure that it will work no root needed. If they insist to tell them your model just say you have an iPhone. Had the same issue some years ago. Bought a used 4xl from UK with blacklisted physical sim due to debts, no way to remove it from blacklist unless paid out, but esim IMEI was not blacklisted and in my country pixels not supported as well and every carrier representative was saying it will not work. Of course it worked and since then I have used several esims on p4xl p5 p6 and now on p6 pro and pixels still not supported for esim (+ 5g volte etc) in my country
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KiYOxz:
It's like a block from Google, for example the Pixel does not accept a 5G signal in my country, but with root you can bypass this. The same happens with eSim, but I don't know if root solves it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sp_Ark:
I see I don't believe you will find something cause it's a little bit different than making it register to a 5g network. Usually when it comes to sim locks the IMEI is getting blocked and unfortunately Google phones getting blocked (sim lock blacklist etc) via Google s servers and the unlock comes as an OTA. I don't even believe even if you manage to change the IMEI (illegal) that you'll make it work. There are some modules and apps that require root that say they can change IMEI but in most cases they have to do with older phones and especially mediatek ones. Maybe a professional with special tool boxes (like octopus) can do something
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KiYOxz:
Thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spinoza23:
Try a ubigi Esim... It's free and you can test your hypothesis... Here in my country almost all carriers that provides a esim doesn't work with pixel 6 pro. if ubigi esim works it's not a esim blocking problem.

IMPORTANT

Rooting can break your phone. Do this at your own risk.

Intro

This guide explains how you can root any RealMe Android phone without installing a custom recovery like TWRP. It's possible by downloading the firmware image that is installed on your phone, extracting boot IMG file, patching the boot IMG file with Magisk and flashing the patched boot IMG file.

Requirements

Bootloader unlocked

A PC (Linux, Mac or Windows) with adb-fastboot

USB cable

Magisk stable Apk (attached)

Matching firmware file

OFP file extracter (attached)

How to

Back-up your phone with a tool or Google back-up

Copy Magisk APK to your phone

(you will find Magisk in the attachment)

Install Magisk on your phone using the APK you copied

Open Magisk on your phone

Install Magisk (button in the app) and patch the “boot IMG” file you just copied

Get the files for ADB (platform-tools)

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Copy the patched “boot IMG” file to the “adb” folder on your pc and rename it to “boot.img”

Enable USB debugging on the phone:

b) Settings » Advanced » Developer » USB debugging

Open a CMD window in the “adb” folder (Windows):

a) Press the “Windows botton”

b) Type "cmd"

c) Click "Command Prompt"

d) Type "cd /d <path to directory with adb.exe file – i.e. c:\myfolder\adb>"

Start the phone in “fastboot” mode:

a) Turn the phone off

b) Press the "volume-up" button and connect the USB cable at the same time

Install the USB drivers

https://androidmtk.com/realme-usb-driver

https://realmerom.net/realme-mobile-phones-usb-driver-latest/

That's it!
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
i want to move to lineageos from the custom rom, but i have this problem, tried to google solutions in different ways but i can't find people with the same issue.

phone works fine otherwise, but when i have it completetly OFF and try to start it by holding power+voldown keys i go into fastboot (i can tell cuz if i dont touch it it stays on a black screen with lil to no light). and as soon as i press the power key (effectively choosing to do a reboot), it powers off and on and goes on to boot my old config.

btw i have enabled OEM and usb debugging. but i haven't got root access cuz it's my understanding that to get that i need to do some things to it in fastboot hooked up to a pc with ADB minimal.

any ideas?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] alexestanislau:
hello there! I have the exactly same issue here.. Volume DOWN + Power goes to black screen....

However i could find out that it is, indeed entering in the fastboot as i was able to send commands and unlock the bootloader through the CMD.. But now i cannot get to install the TWRP (get some error). Did you solved it? anyone can help?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
i just figured it out, what commands are u using to install twrp?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
well, for anyone in the future wondering about this **** u gotta make sure the usb port in your pc is 2.0, a 3.0 will return failed access to the unlock data or the flash boot command for twrp

and u gotta use >fastboot flash boot ''twrp file name''.img

also, for this specific model evert or moto g6 plus if u using the lineage official release make sure the number after the mindthegapps file matches your version of android, i ****ed that up many times until i realized i was trying to install MTG 10 in android 13. what a ****head am i!

oh, and finally if u are in fastboot and can't see anything, the path to recovery (and hopefully twrp) is to press 2 times voldown and 1 time power
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] alexestanislau:
Also, in other topic they pointed out that some Moto G6 Plus have only ONE partition, so you cannot FLASH a recovery (because they dont have a partition for that).. you can ONLY boot on TWRP, if you Flash the TWRP on the partition you cant have a OS at same time..
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] alexestanislau:
Tried to do that, but stills black screen after 2 volume down plus power
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
u want to enter twrp? make sure a copy of the file its on sd and do ''fastboot devices'' first to make sure connection is ok. then ''fastboot boot (twrp.img)''

changing twrp.img to the exact name of your file. on usb 2.0 or it won't work
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Tiki Thorsen:
I have the same issue.

After it boots into TWRP, the screen correctly display TWRP or is still black?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
it correctly displays TWRP, it's black just in fastboot.

u can use adb while in fastboot to order it to boot twrp, that's how i did it. or i guess u could hypothetically make it go into recovery mode (twrp if installed) by moving blindly using vol + or - but i'm not sure.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Tiki Thorsen:
Oh that's a relief! I was planing unlock the bootloader and flash LineageOS this weekend. I will report back how it goes.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
remember to use usb 2.0 (not 3.0). this made me waste so much time
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Tiki Thorsen:
Indeed, I struggle with that on my G7 Plus, cheers!
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Tiki Thorsen:
Update; After successfully unlocking the bootloader, I boot to the Pixel Experience recovery and the screen remains black.

But if I boot to TWRP, it does display it correctly.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] vesp9:
i'm guessing the pixel experience recovery is a custom recovery mode, right? maybe the black screen it's a thing with factory menus? idk
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Tiki Thorsen:
Yes, is just like the LineageOS recovery.

I always replace the Rom's recovery with TWRP in any case.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiown:
Since none of the other post helped me, here's how I did it:

- Go to Windows 7, it does not work on 11, 10 or anything else, not even linux. Probably works on VirtualBox with Windows 7.

- Install the superspecific fire drivers from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gsmusbdrivers/usbdrivers/master/kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip

- Get the oldest version of ADB and fastboot from here: https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool . For me v1.0.0 worked fine.

- Follow this page https://cyanogenmodroms.com/jem/

PS: I attached the files here because a lot (a mean A LOT) of posts get old, the links get broken and you end up wishing for a time machine.

with the increased screen size I would like to increase the height of the status bar (the softkeys) as it is slightly too small for my fingers and I often tap the buttons or the screen.

Is there any way to do this?

We are very excited to announce the alpha/beta of Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform.

Where do we get boot.img and vendor_boot.img?

From paranoid android file? Or from miui stock original firmware?

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] EthanNSenpai:
Looking forward to seeing this ROM being one of the best out there. Although the rom for this phone hasn't been optimized like I imagined but hoping that it'll be further improved in the future. For now, it's pretty good but not perfect like the way I wanted it to be. Anyways, keep up on the good work!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sameh.Mohamed:
I'm using crdroid a 13

And it's very stable and fast for me till now. Is it worthy to give it a try with paranoid android. Or should I wait for the final release specially its just a beta!?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sameh.Mohamed:
Is it better than crdroid?!. Thinking to try this rom and afraid of stability issues , specially its a beta release!

Or should i wait for the official release?!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NeoPreacher:
Like to try it also. The thing with PA is, beta is pretty stable comparable to most roms stable releases. I guess until kernel sources are released (if ever) crdroid in its general performance shows the limits
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Thestardr:
So beautiful, almost perfect rom.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] pulsar:
Please built ROM without gapps.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] androigi:
Please update shortcut for on/off NFC, like shortcut on/off bluetooth.

And show remaining ram used.

I like this rom
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] debrajds:
This rom is nice, almost perfect. Almost evrything works according to my usage. Frustratrated of

using mi rom and their security app and coming from a oneplus experience, I had to move to other rom.

As of proprietory camera driver as I understand, I didn't find any camera app to work properly and

I prtend I don't have a camera with this crappy mobile phone.

Now coming to this rom, I found some issues which I am listing below.

Video calling works, tap2wake works and is stable(unlike Xtended, haven't tried crDroid yet)

No secure lockscreen i.e. notification menu on lockscreen is visible

No way to change navigation buttons functionality (i.e. long press & double tap)

No custom navigation panel style.

No display when incoming call (perhaps a bug) at times.

No AOD and no lockscreen clock customization.

Can't install twrp succesfully (The A/B methods are really messy and also fastboot and fastbootd) and I haven't risked anything using magisk.

Don't know if fast charging works(no fast charge visual confirmation).

Only one screen off gesture (double tap), have to long press power button to invoke torch.

But I do appriciate the good work of the developer. I'm using this rom as a daily driver. I haven't checked crDroid or PixelExperience.

Perhaps someone can shed some light on that.

Thank you all. Have a nice day.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] notBradPitt:
I know PA is one of the most popular custom ROM, but I can't seem to find a newer feature list. How does it compare to other ROMs?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] notBradPitt:
I use Pixel Experience Plus as daily driver and recently made a switch, here's my first impression/comparison

Comes with GCam Go instead of the stock camera

4 numbers pin (PE+ makes you press the enter button)

No double back tap

Lock screen by double tapping home instead of quick settings

At a Glace can be turned off

Google search bar can be turned off

Icon and Font customization

Tons of feature flags on Home settings

Recent menu shows Screenshot + Lens option instead of Screenshot + Select

Comes with more GApps then PE+ (YouTube, Drive, Maps, Gmail, etc.)

No option to hide battery icon when percentage is shown. Only option is to show icon, icon + percentage, icon + percentage when charging, or hide everything :(

The one-handed mode gesture can be used for notification instead

I'd say they both have similar overall feel, with some customization changed in favor of other. PA feels a bit smoother, not sure if that's just my feeling. I wouldn't compare it with crDroid. crDroid adds tons of features and customization while sacrificing the overall looks.

This is my first impression, so I have yet to test the battery and performance. Please let me know if there was any mistake. I'll make an update after using this for a while
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] rooveg:
Been used PA for 2 days, everything is good no issues so far, i think it smoother than crDroid, need more features such as:

NFC toggle not present

Network/data speed meter in status bar

60 fps contents in Instagram is stuttered, I don't know in other social media platform

While crDroid has a lot of customization but PA is just simple & stable straight to the point, Thanks for your nice work.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] notBradPitt:
The experience has been smooth so far, face unlock and fingerprint feels faster compared to other ROMs. Only bug I've found is that when you create a WebApp shortcut from Chrome and try to uninstall it, Paranoid Launcher immediately crashes
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] linolino:
Thanks, but that would have been to easy. Of course it isn't restricted here
