[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Chickensquare:
This is my first post and I'm not sure if I'm even in the right place or not but here goes.

I have an old SM-G965U1 and for at least the last 2 years I've been using the hotspot as my primary home internet connection. I have absolutely no idea how but using the hotspot on that phone (and only that phone) I'm able to use an unlimited amount of hotspot data without the speeds ever being throttled. I was under the impression for a long time that it had something to do with my plan. It had the $65/month unlimited prepaid plan when it was still called "GoPhone" so I just assumed that since I always renewed the same plan even after they switched to calling it "ATT Prepaid" that the unlimited hotspot service was somehow grandfathered in.

But it turns out that regardless of what Sim card I put into the phone as long as it's got a plan that has hotspot available (even if it's already reached the hotspot data limit) and the plan is active it will provide unlimited hotspot.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and/or how to replicate the results? I can't find much info on this subject and most of the info I've found is specific to other devices.

I just unboxed new OnePlus 9 Pro, then i was installing an update and during update phone’s case held power off button, so phone turned off and showing current error.

View attachment 5813705

I can’t boot in Android and in Recovery mode. Everything working is Fastboot mode. I was trying to “unbrick” phone, installing Fastboot ROM( files like boot.img, recovery.img and so on),but in cmd on my pc shows while using commands like: “fastboot flash boot boot.img” or fastboot -w“, only error “Failed (remote:’Erase is not allowed in Lock State’)”.

Now i want to unlock device state if it is possible.

Remind that phone was just unboxed, so it doesn’t have enabled lever OEM unlocking.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] alecxs:
try 'fastboot --set-active=other' or unbrick with MSM Download tool or https://github.com/bkerler/edl
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ishansnp:
bro just use the msm tool. there's a tool for every variant of the 9 pro (LE2120-2125). Look for the post on our Device xda and use it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
cmd says: fastboot: unknown option -- set-active=other

I think it doesn’t understand what‘s --, maybe ’cause i dont have libraries or drivers
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
i know about msm tool, but i cant enter in qualcomm emergency mode, cause when i connect phone to pc, it starts charging and when phone starts charging it can’t load “charge image” and gives same error as in the attachment
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ishansnp:
turn off the phone fully, press volume up and down fully for 3 seconds then while still holding those buttons, plug in the phone with MSM open on your laptop. it should immediately detect the device. the phone screen will still be black and thats normal. once device is shown as connected, just select target O2 and start
[OnePlus 9 Pro] alecxs:
disconnect usb, let battery drain, ensure it is really powered off, press both volume keys, connect usb
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
MSM Tool time. What model do you have?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
ok, i ll try
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
LE2123
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Get the MSM tool for LE2123 from this thread....

How To Guide OP9Pro - Repository of MSM Unbrick Tools (TMO, EU, GLO, IN)​
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
Does somebody know how long it takes to let battery drain from 100%?

And maybe, Are there some advices how to let battery drain faster?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
You will also need to 1) disable driver signature see this https://www.techpout.com/disable-driver-signature-enforcement/ then reboot computer 2) install latest OnePlus USB drivers then 3) install latest Qualcomm driver then reboot PC 4) start the MSM Tool uncheck 256 and check use lite firehose the click start. 5) start phone in edl mode with button sequence.... MSM should automatically start flashing!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
As for edl mode, check to see if you can get to fastboot by holding vol + and - and power buttons down and hold them to see if fastboot loads. This is if you cannot get to edl the button wat as described above.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
Fastboot menu loads

Now i need to wait few days to let battery drain…

Maybe you know any advices how to let it drain faster?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
No need to wait.... Do you have the latest platform-tools installed on PC?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
Yeah, i installed it with android studio
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Good now download this file and save it to the platform-tools folder and change the name to twrp.img.... https://dl.twrp.me/lemonadep/twrp-3.7.0_11-0-lemonadep.img make sure the phone is connected to PC in fast boot mode if you have already installed all the drivers....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
here you mentioned qualcomm drivers, you mean Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
When i try to enetr in edl mode, starts fastboot mode
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
That's ok.... All drivers installed? Twrp downloaded and stored in Platform-tools folder and changed name? MSM tool downloaded unzipped and started with 256 unchecked and use lite firehose checked and click start?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
yes, everything done
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Ok in fastboot mode type fastboot devices enter and see if it returns serial number
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
it does
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
MSM tool shows waiting for device?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
i dont see: "waiting for device" but i think yes, it does
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Make sure you click start upper left...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
i clicked
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Ok, in fastboot mode type fastboot boot twrp.img, once twrp full loads, tap reboot and then tap edl mode. MSM should then takeoff flashing...🤞
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 4.223s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: boot is not allowed in Lock State)

finished. total time: 4.227s

says cmd
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Your boot loader is locked....no worries.. get back to fastboot and type fastboot oem unlock enter
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Ok, there is probably a different command. You may have to search the forms for unlocking bootloader for LE2123...sorry. it is possible, then you can do the routine from above...sorry!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
on this step i always have problems, 'cause to unlock bootloader i need to go to settings on phone, but i cant, 'cause my phone is a brick
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
well, thx for attempt
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Then you will have to work on the button combination to enter edl mode. But remember to have the MSM tool up and running ready to flash. Edl mode only lasts about ten seconds before the phone tries to reboot.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Only other option if you can't get to edl mode is to return phone for replacement....sorry my friend!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
as i told earlier, when i connect my phone to pc while holding Vol + and - buttons, stars fastboot mode and MSM doesn't see the phone
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chizari:
thank you
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
The button combination is an art. First try to hold vol+ and power to shutdown phone.... Then don't plug phone to PC yet, hold vol + and - for 10-15 secs and with MSM ready, plug cable into phone...it may take several or more trys to get it right...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
There may be one more way, go to OnePlus website for USA, download the latest image for OP9P, download it, extract the zip and the fastboot flash payload.bin, I have recovered from a crash like this before then you can go into settings and enable oem unlock bootloader and be sure to enable debug mode too. To make it easier search for "enhanced fastboot" and it will make flashing the payload.bin file easier!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Another option maybe while in fastboot mode, use the volume up and down buttons to highlight recovery and use the power button to select to go into recovery. If it will go into recovery, you might be successful in wiping everything wich will factory reset the device!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Patience, the phone is not toast yet. Where there is a will there is a way!

[General Questions and Answers] heni63:
Did you manage to achieve your goal? Using App Ops is really showing how often google checks your location...

Is the adb idea working?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Yeah, that stuff is all pernicious.

I run an external GPS through UDP and mock location daemon.

I don't want Google to ever listen for WiFi or BT.

It's pesky, every time I start Maps it's always asking me if I want to turn their stuff on.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Bad news.

Apparently Google has recently changed the

Android Google Maps app such that it no longer routes using only GPS.

I tested it without a Google account, and with the following turned off in the Android 12 Settings.

Settings > Location > Location services >

Google Location Accuracy > Improve Location Accuracy = off

Settings > Location > Location services > Improve Accuracy

Wi-Fi scanning = off

Bluetooth scanning = off

Google Maps now requires WiFi scanning to use navigation [April 4, 2023]

<https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20220204-google-map-wi-fi-gps/>

and

Even the official Google Play Store Google Maps app description says it can't use only GPS anymore also.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps

There are only two choices now, none of them are GPS only anymore.

Location Permission

"precise location (GPS and network-based)"

"approximate location (network-based)."

There no longer seems to be an option in Google Maps for GPS only location. Am I right or wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] heni63:
For me Wifi-Scanning is off and Maps works fine. Not sure though, if Maps is maybe somehow still using it or whatever google/maps able to do.

Iam on Android 13 though (and custom Rom + rooted, not sure how much this plays a role)
[General Questions and Answers] R00TMe:
Solution I've found : using the Google Maps 11.9.4 apk, it is 3 years old but still works and had the dark theme. Plus I think that it is faster and more optimised ! Warning : uninstall the update of Google Maps before doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] JimReid:
I currently have a S22 but cannot root it. I'm in the U.S. so it is a U.S. version. Which Samsung phone is the best in the U.S. that can be rooted? I hate the S22. I had a s9+ before but it broke and I got talked into trading it for the S22 by Samsung. I would have been better just buying another S9+ from eBay or Facebook. Anyway I digress. If I get rid of the S22 which would be the best/easiest Samsung phone to root?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Arealhooman:
some s22 models can be rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S22] JimReid:
I believe (per other conversations) that the U.S. version cannot be rooted. If you know of a way please post it because several U.S. users would like to know how.
[Google Pixel 6a] niscy:
I have a new 6a here, never turned on before. I'm planning to use the stock image without root on this phone, so I can keep receiving OTAs, etc. I want this phone to just work with minimal maintenance effort.

Going forward, what is the best way to back up the data on this phone? I'm mostly trying to protect against hardware failures.

My goal would be to quickly restore the previous state on a new Pixel 6a, if the hardware stops working for whatever reason. (Which happens 1-2 per year in my case, oops.)

My understanding is that the Google Cloud backup would be the most convenient option, but that it's not end-to-end encrypted. Correct? That's a K.O., unfortunately.

EDIT: Seems Google Cloud Backup DOES have E2E? Can someone confirm? The dialog that Android shows is very ambiguous.

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
What do you mean end-to-end?

I do use the google backup and it's pretty legit. It's not a 100% "image" back up...but does include all your settings, apps, text messages, google photos etc. You can set it up to auto-backup every day or so when charging/on wifi at night...backs up to your Drive app.

When I reset the phone or add a new rom - it's about perfect. The only thing I "lose" or have to move back to the phone that google doesn't cover is data that the app doesn't automatically restore. So like - a stand-alone music library. But all my other apps automatically restore all their data as well.

So if an app uploads/auto-restores the data from their servers, you'll get everything back 100%. If an app only saves to your sdcard, you'll lose that data. I really only have 1 app that does that so not a big deal.
[Google Pixel 6a] niscy:
End-to-end encryption - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Encrypt the backup in a way that only the owner of the device can read it, but not Google or anyone else with access to Google's servers.

iCloud backups are not E2E encrypted, for example, so anyone with access to Apple servers could read your data. Apple just announced that they are going to change that, though, as far as I remember.

QUESTION:

I noticed that there's an option in the Developer options that allows me to set a DESKTOP BACKUP PASSWORD. What software would I then use to create the backup on my computer?

Sounds like iTunes local backup... I liked that option, I don't need it in the cloud.

EDIT: Found something here https://xdaforums.com/t/ics-psa-how-to-full-desktop-backup-no-root-needed.1607254/

Why are people not using / recommending this? Sounds great?

@V0latyle @simplepinoi177
[Google Pixel 6a] MrUrgit:
Google say their backups are encrypted:

Where your phone data is stored​

Backups are uploaded to Google servers and they're encrypted with your Google Account password. For some data, your phone's screen lock PIN, pattern, or password is also used to encrypt your data so it can be backed up safely.

Back up your device - Android - Google One Help

Where your phone data is stored Backups are uploaded to Google servers and they're encrypted with your Google Account password. For some data, your phone's screen lock

support.google.com
[Google Pixel 6a] niscy:
Yeah, that's what I saw in Android when I decided not to use it. This suggested to me that some data was ONLY encrypted with my PIN/Pattern, and that didn't seem like strong protection. (Once it's in the cloud, you have to assume it will be there forever... and who knows if my PIN is still considered secure in X years from now.)

I still have to do more research, but so far my sense is that the sensitive data is encrypted at least with my (much more complex) account password.
[Google Pixel 6a] TheBearodactyl:
Try Swift Backup. You need ADB for backing up system apps, but you don't need root lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2daysoft:
Hi all,

I've something to play with for you :-). New yrgo 2.3 beta 2.

This version is dedicated for 320x240 devices only! The 640x480 version will be released later.

Installation notes

Since this version implements new graphical layout system, you have to uninstall the version before and delete "\Program Files\yrgo\Skins" folder. This is valid even if you are running 2.3 beta 1.

What's new

File explorer supports Create folder, Delete file/folder, Copy, Cut, Paste (using context menu).

In-build SMS Writer - works in Contact detail's page or when you press Reply in SMS details.

Complete new graphical layout system - Color Themes, Images (icons, buttons) and Wallpapers are now separated. There's no way how to change icons at this moment.

Wallpapers can be changed using File explorer and its Context menu (need to be applied on jpg images).

Repaired bugs you have noticed me on.

Please, let know what do you think about this version and report me bugs you've found.

Download link: http://www.2daysoft.com/yrgo/beta/2.3beta2/yrgo.cab Please DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE it anywhere (you can of course distribute link to this page). Thank you.

Features of yrgo 2.3 beta 1:

This list controls were completely redeveloped so they support variable height items.

Complete new graphical design (with PNG alpha support - give me feedback whether is it too slow or not).

On the fly help almost everywhere.

Today plugin gadget bug fix - yrgo should exit properly now

Desktop gestures - left, right switches the desktops

Analog clock in Clock gadget

New Calendar gadget (it shows wrong month yet)

New Connection manager Gadget

Gadgets can be re-sized - (doesn't work on all gadgets yet)

Gadgets border shown in design mode

File details when you click the (+) sign

Specific Control panels allow direct access to the specific tab (click on (+) sign)

In Contacts you can directly access all contact's phones using (+) sign

Completely new Contact details page (some functionality is missing - will be added later)

Completely new Task details page

Plenty of new settings

Dialog boxes that prevents mis-taps (can be set-up in Settings)

New Calendar page in Office menu (without Appointments support - yet :-) )

New Help menu and all its items

Contact's hide/show keyboard bug fix

I'm sure I forget lot of new features or bug fixes :-).

Known bugs:

The main menu takes a looooong time to appear at the first time (I know what causes this - just didn't have time to fix).

Help wizard should not be added to the Favorites or Desktop.

Some of them I've already written above ;-).

Because new icons in yrgo are bigger, you current desktop setting may not fit.

Enjoy :-).

Regards,

Luky

How do I update the Android version of Xiaomi Redmi 9A?

Same problem here, you can try flashing the a11 rom using MiFlashTool ( You need unlocked bootloader first)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] rychemastr:
So if I do the soft reset by holding volume down and power button it just restarts and comes to that brick download screen. It's all blue with a white arrow that says dont move away from target (something like that). If I continue to hold that in it just loops that cycle. if I manage to get it into recovery (its hard to time it with it immediately restarting) it will bring up the android guy and flash "error" under it and immediately restart. If I'm still holding in the recovery command buttons it continues that loop. It does show the Samsung screen at the very beginning. If I put it on a slower charge (say from a 12vdc car plug) it will show a black screen with red letters stating an error fail to read bota partition.

I am a complete noob with tech. So keep that in mind. I tried offering as much info as I can. I have some pics and a vid.

Will it be able to install without boot up? From what I'm understanding at this point the usb just recognizes the phone as a battery. The thing I'm trying to do is recover my data. I could care less about the phone itself

This seems to be pretty common with Samsung updates. Throughout time. I've had a friend that manages a T-Mobile tell me that after an update on two of his phones it came up with a moisture detected in charging port error. I think he said a soft reset fixed those.
