[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Hi Guys

Does anyone know what the indicator light that is inside the recessed area for the front speaker for? I have never seen it light up, and have no idea what it's supposed to be used for.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nyckid211:
the ambient light sensor
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DSF:
It's a light sensor.. this question allready covered here.

The display's backlight auto-adjusts (can be disabled tough) with the help of this light sensor
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
HAHA. I can't tell you how many times I looked at my phone trying to think of where the light sensor is. I heard that light described as an actually light, that blinks for certain occasions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
try searching next time ;)

but...you are talking about the light sensor. the notification light is around the dpad

[OnePlus 9 Pro] bulletbling:
I am on OOS12 rooted with twrp. I elected to do the OTA update method where you disable magisk modules, go into magisk and uninstall images, install the update, and then restore images and reboot. I have no idea why, but now my phone is in Qualcomm Crashdump mode. I have a lot of valuable things on my internal storage that I need to save or backup somehow.

Now, I can fastboot boot twrp.img and have that work, but in order to decrypt my userdata, it's asking for a pin, and I don't believe my pin is working. I'm wondering if this issue also affects what the pin code would be.

Is there any way at all to retrieve my data? Never would I expect an OTA to cause this and hence, there was no need to backup anything beforehand. Also, isn't the other a/b partition supposed to be available as a failsafe? My other partition should be just fine, although I have a feeling that assumption is because I don't understand the full gravity of this Qualcomm Crashdump mode.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bulletbling:
As a follow-up, I am wondering if the latest twrp-3.7.0_11-0 I am temporarily booting is not allowing my pin to work correctly because it doesn't support decryption / breaks my pin for OOS 12.1 C.69, which is what the OTA wanted to update to.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bulletbling:
---UPDATE---

I downloaded the latest Stock Firmware and extracted the payload.bin and manually flashed everything from this thread below.

Restore OnePlus 9 to Stock via Fastboot Commands

This guide assumes you have the SDK Platform Tools installed and working, along with USB drivers for your device (if needed), and have your full update zip which you've already extracted the payload.bin from, and then dumped the images using...

xdaforums.com

And now...instead of it going to the Qualcomm crashdump, it goes right to fastboot. I don't know if this is progress, but at least with boot slot b it's currently on, there is no more crashdump occurring. The problem now is that it still wont boot with a fresh manual install of all stock images in the payload.bin. I'm wondering if this is related to my internal storage, but that wouldn't make any sense. TWRP is still telling me my pin is incorrect, even though it's correct.

---UPDATE 2---

I had tried everything I could think of and ended up resorting to the MSM tool. I don't have any recent backups but have some things saved. It appears that no one responded meaning this is likely impossible, short of a forensics lab that can crack encryption like this.

[Samsung Galaxy S21+] prjudo:
I misplaced phone so I flagged it as lost on SAMSUNG.com website findmymobile.com Once I found it I needed to log again and it asked me at a horrible time if I wanted to - STAY SIGNED IN TO YOUR OTHER DEVICES. I wasn't thinking so hit - SIGN OUT OF ALL DEVICES. In a panic i called 1800-Samsung which told gave me the run around and then basically called me a possible con artist which I proved to them with - of purchase receipt , and told me we cannot help you try tech support which sent me back to repairs and warranty department which I was still under warranty. I finally gave up and came to see my good old friends at XDA. How do I factory reset this thing the recovery bootloader is blocked won't let me power down or go into the download mode or recovery menu. Just straight to my locked home screen (did I mention I changed the password in a panic thinking I'd never see it again and didn't want my personal TECH in anyones hands while I "found it")

-Thanks anyway

[HTC Excalibur] 320x240:
Hello Experts,

i have read a lot of the Threads here, but i can't find a good information

about my O2 Cosmo. My Dash is Simlook free and SuperCID enabeld.

I found this instructions:

When i edit the .NBH file, i get a "ERROR 270" message!

When i dont edit the .NBH file, i get a "Invalid Ventor - Error Message"

I try to install this ROM:

"RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe"

So my Dash is a German Device, and i want a German ROM, if it is possible!?

OK, i try to go manually in the Bootloader modus, disable ActiveSync for

USB Transfer...and run the RUU Rom...but it allways break down the flash

process at 4% !

...mmh...have i forget any info, that you can help me...i dont know?

Ah Yes...i read in the Thread:

"How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!"

Here the link to:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298613

But i can see anything on the starting screen, if my dash ist a G3 or G4,

on my start screen ist "ABSOLUTLY - NO - Information" about it!

In the "System Information" i found a RIL Nr. 2.0002 ...

So i think my dash is a IPL/SPL G3...but i dont know it really!

I dont know what i can do anymore, to update my device to WM6.0 or 6.1

Plz, if anyone know what i can do, to fix my problem, plz then tell it to me,

thank you very much, and forgive me about my bad english!
[HTC Excalibur] 320x240:
Ok, i test many times this tool "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" ...and yesterday

it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like

every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE

Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!

Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use

this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?

I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:

RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe

But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with

Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!

So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :

"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"

This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit

was zu tun...*g*

But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my

dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the

Phone, so that i must remove the battery....

The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),

will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,

"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux

Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?

Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?

And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?

Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum

here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!

Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?

Thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...
[HTC Excalibur] 320x240:
Thank you!

But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try

to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!

I actually install this Rom:

RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe

I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh

Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...

But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom :D

The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?

That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.

Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?

Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?

And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM

without a CID Bypass Bootloader?

Any ideas?

The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that

Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux

Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove

the Battery, for a new start.

But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?

I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???
[HTC Excalibur] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.
[HTC Excalibur] 320x240:
Thank you,

but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time

into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)

But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !

But now, not ! I dont know why?

With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !

But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"

INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!

But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,

wont work anymore....

You know what i mean?

The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.

When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in

Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone

have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?

To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!

That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search

here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?

Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!

But Thank you for Advice! :)
[HTC Excalibur] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.
[HTC Excalibur] 320x240:
...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!

But i have found a Solution "Yeah" ! :)

For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!

Try this Link: Click

Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!

The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !

Follow the steps in the text document!

Work fine for me!

But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove

the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the

"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.

(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)

I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"

You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!

After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,

remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only

the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !

All work fine!

Thank you Developers!

Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require. However...

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed and edited your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

Thread again closed. Your revised version of the OP attempts to only obscure that your intention is not to repair or restore your lost or broken original IMEI but to edit/change the IMEI in order to avoid customs or taxes on your device.

[Asus Zenfone 9] Windoors:
normally, double tapping the recents key should switch to the next app in recents menu/task manager. however, in Zenfone 9, it's very inconsistent, double tapping often brings back the same app and doesn't switch or goes to home screen. More than half the time this happens. if tried multiple times, sometimes recents key becomes unresponsive and need to press home key to make it work again. I know in android 12, task switching is slow (google's fault) but in other phones it works slowly at least. however in this phone it often fails to work. I've turned of long press recents to take screenshot and yet this occurs.

It doesn't happen if "Animator duration scale" is 0 or off. However, without animation the experience would be poor.

does anyone else have this issue and any workaround?
[Asus Zenfone 9] gmbhneo:
Do you use any custom launcher? I've noticed some similar thing being on "Smart Launcher".
[Asus Zenfone 9] Windoors:
using stock launcher only. firmware is WW-32.2050.2050.34

don't you also have this issue? if not what firmware are you using?
[Asus Zenfone 9] recked:
Same issue, stock everything right outta the box. It seems to be Chrome that isn't behaving as expected, other apps toggle no problem but Chrome refuses to cooperate. Very annoying.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Absarock123:
Same issue with me. But I use Nova launcher. And I dont double press recent button. I use Fluid Navigation Gestures to switch to last app. Its inconsistent. Sometimes all recent apps will be shown black

true, I found it to occur in some other apps too, but chromium browsers seem most common by far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
I delete my files and still can't free up memory. I was reading that bloat could be located under /data/lost+found but I don't know how to access it without root. I've tried to root using SuperSu and TWRP. I downloaded Odin, I downloaded the Samsung USB Drivers, and I installed multiple TWRP files using the `AP` button in Odin.

I get stuck at the Samsung load screen, and can't run recovery mode.

I don't want to load any new Roms, I just want to get sudo access so I can access /data/lost+found

Can someone please help?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
SuperSU, really? That's been dead for years, download Magisk instead ;)

I thought they stopped implementing `sudo` privileges. What's the easiest way to get the sudo command installed on phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
LOL. There are two apks. What do I do with them? Do I still need Odin? Sorry, I'm very new to this. Is there a particular thread you know works?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
The basic of rooting:

*unlock bootloader

*Install recovery TWRP for your tab

*Install magisk trough TWRP

*Debloat your lovely TAB...please

*enjoy

If you downloaded magisk.zip ,you can also change the extension to .apk

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
Awesome! This is what I'm looking for! So to unlock the bootloader, I download Odin? When I put the tablet in download mode, Odin can then flash the TWRP recovery image. Then when I restart, I can install magisk?

I think I'm running into an issue where the backlight for my tablet is not displaying (the TWRP UI). I'm verifying.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
Hello Androidgeek230,

Unlocking bootloader means,your /Data map will completely wiped.no more guarentee from Samsung (fun part )

* go on your tablet to the about section and tab 10 times to activate developer options, enter it and select OEM unlock + Adb USB debugging

*Install USB driver for samsung tab

*shutdown Tab

*While pressin "Volume UP + volume Down button,connect your Tab with USb cable to PC (maybe in background device driver is being installed.

*Device is in unlock mode,select volume Up again to enter "bootloader"

*Select again volume up to unlock bootloader.

Now your tab is Unlocked and will restart installing Android,couple minutes later your in Android again.

Now you must install recovery TWRP with ADB

regards
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
about the developer options:

Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone.

Step 2: Tap Software Info > Build Number.

Step 3: Tap Build Number seven times. After the first few taps, you should see the steps counting down until you unlock the developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
Hi Tresans,

I want to see what's in my /data/lost+found though. Is there a way to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
Thanks for the detailed instructions! I was able to do this and I can see developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
I don't see OEM unlock anywhere, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Arealhooman:
Btw, you can delete bloat without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
Yes,only for current user,but apk is still in system,so no "real" cleanup.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Arealhooman:
What do you mean? Adb or app de bloater can fully remove them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] androidgeek230:
I used adb shell.

I can't access /data folder.

It says permission denied. This is why I want sudo.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
Hello,

OEM unlock feature is in the developer options,together with USB debugging.

Or it is greyed out,cause of already boatloader unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tresans:
I didnt knew this, so without root? including system files cleanup.

May I have a link how to do it I ,have a original Android,no root on it,I can try it
