[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SteveLime:
Idk what to say. I need to know if u have a 2.0 usb port and u have tried using it to unlock the bootloader and to flash twrp.

What can u flash to SOL24? Mine is c6833 was made in 09.2013

TBH i also have a tablet t525 it has the same cpu. I think this phone is gonna suck even if we install os 20 on it. 2gb of ram and something else. its just trash.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
I can't unlock of SOL24 bootloader. It may be restricted by au. So, It is very hard to flash twrp. But, I have dualrecovery mode. there has twrp 2.8.7. I don't know how to flash latest version twrp.

Regarding the usb, My Mac mini (Bootcamp Windows 11) just have 3.0 usb.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SteveLime:
I really wish that more ppl cared about this phone. but its not worth it.

everytime i look at it though, i wanna make it work. it looks and feels so good.

even android 7 would be fine for now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SteveLime:
Tried to install android 7.1, 8.1 through this Dual recovery - no luck. Tried to flash the image of the latest TWRP but the phone just bricks. right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
I will go to business trip up to end of this week. So, I would like to try it. But, I have to solve how to flash twrp 3.xx first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pomes:
bluetooth didnt worked. devices could be paired but will not connect.

used C6833 with build lineage-20.0-20231020-UNOFFICIAL-togari.zip

i had to move to LOS19 build here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-12l-unofficial-lineageos-19-1-togari-stable.4402047/

thanks anyway, works well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SteveLime:
Do u guys have the OEM Unlocking option in devs?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
Hi. I installed LOS20 successflly. the bluethooth didn't work. but, it is OK.

I would like to know the LTE network.

Here is Japan. I tried to connect LTE with Ymobile(MNVO) SIM.

but, I can catch the netwrok. but, it is not working.

Could you give any advice to me how to modify something?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
Try to create a APN for your operator like this:

LINK
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
I already tried set the APN for Ymobile.

Do you know which band can I connect by C6833? when I enter the band select, there has just two option.

One is automatic. and the other is America.

I would like to know my C6833 can support LTE or not first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
Sorry, I can't help you with that, the only way to find out was going back to stock rom and check it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
Oh, Really? OK. I bought two more C6833.

So, I will chekc it first and then try to install LOS 20.

BTW, why the bluetooth dosen't work? What kind of things do I have to check?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
As i remember the bluetooth on LOS20 is working, but not for current LOS21 build, are you able to turn if on?

or it's ON but not able to pair/connect other devices?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
I can turn on bluetooth and find the other devices. but, it doesn't pair.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
Ok, just fixed bluetooth on LOS21, will release a new build for LOS20 too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
Ok. Thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
Could you release new build for LOS20 include fixed bluetooth? I really want to test it.

Addtionally, I would like to know how to flash the magisk.

I tried to flash the magisk.zip by twrp. it falls to boot loop.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
New build released

Fixed Bluetooth and BLE Audio.

DOWNLOAD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
I tried shortly. the UI changed little bit. that was good. The app itself is working well. but, Bluethooth doesn't work properly same as prior version. the rotation is not working.

if I have to submit somthing, please let me know include manual.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tarkzim:
I missed something, re-uploaded, please try it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dasrum:
Thank you very much. I checked only the bluetooth that was working well.

I would like to check all later countinuously.

one more issue, rotation function was not acitive at home screen. when I use the Youtube, the big screen turn automatically to horizontal. but, home screen just displyed vertical only.

The touchscreen periodically begins to press spontaneously. What could it be? After installation, everything worked, but after a few hours the click began to work spontaneously, I rebooted, everything worked again, but after some time the problem repeated itself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lokifish Marz:
So I find myself needing to install Nougat or better on my Ultra GPE (currently running CM12.1). So I tried installing on my GPE using the linked TWRP recovery, and fails every time. Is there a specific release or workaround I should be aware of?

(It's been forever since I was last active on XDA, so I've forgotten a lot)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 12398267:
pretty much gave up a long while ago but now I'm stuck with this phone since I'm not able to find another one I could flash a custom OS in aside from some xiaomi ones, and those are also a pain to deal with when it comes to modding stuff.

Saw some posts around the internet saying it was possible to root this phone and something about reverting to Nougat but I'm confused as hell. So if there's any actual guide to root this phone that works I'd appreciate the help
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Seeing as it's a Snapdragon device, most likely not. Samsung devices with Qualcomm SoCs are typically not bootloader unlockable, and unlocking the bootloader is required for rooting or flashing custom software.

[Device Repair] Benjie_Romello:
I have a Galaxy Fame Lite (GT S6790) officially branded as Galaxy S III lite(AFR version) and it has an issue that I've so much tried to fix to no success. 'Was working fine, but so much lagging and hanging and kept indicating "Unfortunately 'someApp' isn't responding".. so I did the following in that order that didn't work...

1. Did soft reset...didn't fix it..

2. Did factory data reset.. didn't fix..actually created more problem, it couldn't go past the setupwizard, kept restarting during the setup session...

3. Did hard-reset...nothing changed..

4. Flashed stock firmware...nothing changed... I actually flashed multiple versions of the firmware of the same model none of which fixed the issue..it boots normally, but as soon as I hit start in the setup, it loads for a moment then restarts..sometimes it gets to set date but then loads again and restarts...

I am thinking of "NAND erasing it" so I can repartition.. but I can't find the ".pit" file in any of the CSC files of the firmware versions I downloaded.., all I find is 'AndroidManifest.xml'... Anyone with any idea how to revive this phone and just bring it back to active life..or how I can find the '.pit' file if "NAND erase" can fix it.., I'll so much appreciate...

Not sure how to proceed here. I had a very recent twrp installed, flashed a new ota firmware update as I have successfully a couple of times, phone restarted to twrp, I decrypted, it flashed the firmware fine then went to restart.

And that's it, completely dead, battery was at least 50% charged.

I can't enter recovery, power button held for one minute does nothing, vol+ and power, nothing, vol- and power, nothing, vol+ and vol- nothing.

Plugging in my charger, nothing, plugging into a laptop and pc, nothing. Took the back off and disconnected the battery and left it over night, nothing.

Bootloader was unlocked and usb debugging enabled.

Anyone have any other ideas what I can try here?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Johnnio:
Also tried bridging the contacts for edl mode with battery disconnected and plugged it into USB but nothing.

Very tricky to do this though as you need 4 hands and it's possible I'm not making contact on both pins, purchased a cheap edl/deep flash cable as a last resort, if that doesn't work then I think it is toast.

“EDL is an interface of Qualcomm chipsets, used to flash fastboot ROMs. It is used for unbricking purposes so it is allowed on many phones but it's been locked down on most recent Android models.

The screen will appear black and it will appear that the device is turned off, but to verify that this is not the case, we need the tools in EDL mode. The most famous is QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader), a proprietary software, but on GitHub there are many alternative open source projects.”

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] R0bs0n_:
Recently, I don't know why but a message popped up asking me to enter an alphabetic password even though I didn't set any. To unlock the phone I had: fingerprint, face and 4 digit PIN.

I was hoping that after a reboot it would not require an alphabetic password just the 4-digit PIN (only the numeric keypad was displayed) as always, unfortunately there is a message: "Password Must Be Entered After Device Restarts".

OnePlus service said that if I send the phone to them they will still clear it of data.

After connecting to the computer, the commands:

don't detect the phone, whether in normal mode or recovery mode.

Is there any way to recover at least some of the data before I do the format? Or is there any tool that will bypass entering the password ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] blackhawk:
A data recovery specialist might be able to.

Always back up critical data redundantly, regularly to multiple hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. At the very least use a OTG flashstick. If you had an encrypted SD card used as a data drive you probably still have access. SD card slots are far for obsolete but Android is becoming less usable by the year. Thanks Gookill.

I just send it in...

[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
Hey all,

So I've decided I want to use a different gallery app instead of the Google Photos.

However, after disabling Photos and expecting to get the choice of how to open it from the camera app, it specifically tells me to install Google Photos.

Am I correct to assume it's a hardcoded link?

If so. Is anybody aware of a way around this?

Thing is, I do like the Camera, just not Google Photos..
[Google Pixel 7] utk_spartan:
Try

Gcam mod

It is Google Camera app modded to enable additional features

It has option to use third party gallery apps, although I haven't used that setting.

Try 8.6.xx versions

For me 8.7.xx versions dont work on P7
[Google Pixel 7] 96carboard:
Yes, camera is HARD CODED to only load that crappy gallery that uploads all your data to gooble.

If you were running a google-free OS, I'd suggest using https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/releases
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
Well, that's something...

How stable are those gcam mods?

I mean, I'll give it a go, but it looks like it's supporting up to android 11.

edit:

So I installed a gcam mod, but I can't seem to configure the gallery app to use with it.

Could you point me in the right direction @utk_spartan ?
[Google Pixel 7] utk_spartan:
Android 11 is the minimum version supported not the max.

I can't comment on stability, I don't use Camera much.

See the attached screenshots for enabling 3rd party gallery support in Settings.

Also for versions 8.6.x set interface to P6pro
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
Wel, it's still asking Google Photos for me, exactly what version are you on?
[Google Pixel 7] dmbardal:
No, it is not hardcoded.
[Google Pixel 7] utk_spartan:
I use

MGC_8.6.263_A11_V14

third party gallery apps work fine for me, although I haven't removed Google Photos app
[Google Pixel 7] 96carboard:
Yes, yes it is hardcoded. Please do your research before putting your foot in your mouth.
[Google Pixel 7] dmbardal:
Strange how I have no issues disabling Google Photo, and then are able to use the camera in any 3rd party gallery-app downloaded from the store.

F-Stop and Piktures works without issues on my Panther.

"Hard coded" as you put it might mean something different for you than others I guess.
[Google Pixel 7] 96carboard:
That's not what OP is talking about. When you take a picture with the camera, you see the little circular preview? If you tap that, it will load the picture in gooble photos. Not some other application, JUST that one. That connection is hardcoded. The only ways to break it is to either hack the camera application, or create a request forwarder that pretends to be gooble photos.
[Google Pixel 7] dmbardal:
That was what I assumed he was talking about.

The 'circle' works fine here without Google Photo, but if one want to click the 'Google Photo'-button up top to the left, that doesn't work (since its for.. Google Photo).

Meaning preview should work regardless of device (I'm on Pixel 7, just for clarity).

GCam have however enabled this in the settings, so with GCam downloaded and installed - even the Google Photo-button can be swapped out.
[Google Pixel 7] FreakyJoost:
It's funny, it does only work (the mod) when Google Photos is installed.

So that's sub-optimal...

But not the original one @dmbardal , I suspect you're using a mod too. If not, can you show where you set this?
