Everyone take care using this. The commands are misspelled and sometimes just the wrong ones. So far I couln't not figure out how to make it work.
[Lenovo P11] SebastianBerlin:
After your reply @13didounet has edited the post. Is the little tutorial now proper? :unsure:
[Lenovo P11] biggr:
Disable-verify is still wrong IMHO, but the rest should work. I can't test it fully since my device reports missing system partition, but boots well in standard Rom.

You need to be on fastboot d. I had the same trouble until I tried it there.

Have you tried this Kernel sources from Lenovo portal for P11?

I am noob here as well, so I am not sure is this Kernel sources can help much
[Lenovo P11] LynxLyon:
VolksPC Installed Android 12 on his P11- J616F and after that, they could install a Linux desktop​

You can search on his channel on youtube >>> VOLKSPC- Linux desktop on Lenovo P11 plus tablet.

I asked them how they updated P11 to android 12 and they answered "You can use Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Assistant to manually update the firmware."

but I am not so sure how to do that, I am still a noob, I don't want to break the tablet.

I hope it can help you somehow

[Lenovo P11] HackVasant:
I have done this on a Windows 10 PC.You have to download and install Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Asistant to your Windows 10 PC. After that you can start the Windows application and connect your P11 Plus Tablet with a USB cable to your PC. Follow the on screen instructions. It will down load the latest firmware over the internet and install it to your device. This will reset ypur device so make sure you have saved all you data else where.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] proxyx:
Hi XDA. I purchased a P7P back in early November and recently it took a little tumble off my desk. Instinctively, I shook it to see if anything came loose and to my dismay it rattled. Upon further research, I found that the OIS in this and many other devices with similar camera hardware have this tendency to rattle. Do all P7Ps have this trait or is it a lottery? Would it be worth an exchange or will the new device most likely have the same "feature"?

Thanks

Proxyx
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
They ALL rattle. It's mechanical, it moves around when shaken.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] proxyx:
Ahhh good... I guess. lol. I wonder if it would be possible to make a mod that left the camera at 5x zoom and then reset to 1x when the camera app was launched. At 5x zoom the rattle goes away.

Thanks for your response!

I recently purchased the fire stick 4K and I'm having a difficult time installing Kodi on it. I am unable to use ADB link version 5.1 to connect to the fire stick with the developer's options enabled on the fire stick. I get the following message when trying to install Kodi using downloader.

Any assistance to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated

Are you installing the 32bit version?

Thanks for your help Finnzz. I was able to get Kodi installed using the Easy Fire Tools. I'm confused as to why I could connect using Easy Fire Tools and not with ADB link 5.1. I use ADB link To backup and restore my Kodi build. I don't like having to manually build My Kodi platform.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
Easy Fire Tools is also Kodi oriented, you can use the Media Center menu to back up and restore your Kodi Build.

If you still have your other Android device you can connect Easy Fire Tools to it (connects to Android and FireOS) backup, then connect to the Stick and restore.

Hello to the community,

I need urgent help with my P Smart 2019 (POT-LX1). Briefly some info, have the P Smart 2019 cheap auctioned as defective with software error. The previous owner said he had tried a board software / flash file (.xml) to flash unfortunately he no longer knows which it was exactly.

After that, the P smart 2019 no longer started and it is displayed a different boot logo (Huawei Ascend) he has then started several attempts with different firmware (dload) and (.xml) all without proper success. P smart 2019 now starts again but as boot logo is still Huawei Ascend and the firmware seems to be only a board dignose firmware. In Settings --> System --> About Phone is no model ( unknown )

Device name "PAN

Build number "POT-LX1-BD 1.0.0.53

EMUI version 5.0

Android version 7.0

IMEI 00000000000000

CPU - Octa-Core 1.8Ghz

Ram - 2GB

internal storage 11GB free /16GB total (but should be 64GB)

what or which firmware / board software do I have to flash that everything is recognized correctly again and the correct boot logo is displayed?

that should be feasible... I hope. I am familiar with the process of Test Point flash only I do not see through the whole firmware and board software at Huawei more... POT-LX1 or POT-L21 then the various board flash file (.xml).

EDIT: the eRecovery language is chinese!

Would be more than grateful if someone could help me there times something. despair slowly.

please excuse my bad english.

LG and thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] EmreX_Coded:
Hey there!

I wanted to install a Custom Recovery on my S20 FE, i have used "vbmeta_disabled.tar" at first, but then i got a error, that the header is missing or something.

i reflashed with ODIN the WHOLE Firmware (BL + AP + CP + CSC) and then i wanted to use "vbmeta_disabled_R.tar" (which should have been the one i should use, atleast i think)

now i get the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (VBMETA) DEVICE: 0xa BINARY: 0x5"

and i don't know what to do now to install the vbmeta disabler and the Custom Recovery (i wanted to use OrangeFox Exynos)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] 3mel:
SW REV CHECK FAIL happens when you try to flash something that's older than what's allowed by the current bootloader.

make sure you stick to threads that are specifically for your model of FE. learn your model number and which SoC it has.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
I have a Samsung device (SM-T870) and in concept I want to unroot it. In magisk’s official installation guide, it says not to flash stock AP after root. So how can I unroot by flashing firmware? Can I unroot that way?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] V0latyle:
You'll find better help posting in the appropriate forum for your device. As a courtesy, your post will be moved to the Galaxy Tab S7 Questions and Answers subforum.

As for your question...yes, using Odin to reflash the factory firmware should do the trick. It's highly recommended to perform a data wipe when you do this, so you'd use the CSC .tar, not HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Of course, but magisk guide says to not flash the stick AP. Do I ignore that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] V0latyle:
Yes, because flashing the stop AP.tar overwrites /boot and /recovery with the stock images, meaning Magisk gets removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
It says it will result in a brick. So can I do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] V0latyle:
Yes. Since you're flashing everything at once, this shouldn't be a problem. The potential issue exists if you attempt to flash the AP.tar alone.

From the Magisk guide:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Ah, thank you so much for clarifying. You are so helpful on this forum to me and other users!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] tin2404:
Actually, once rooted device can not be unrooted again because during root process root triggers fuse and trip Knox in device...Therefore, device stays permanently rooted even if you flash and unroot with stock firmware.

I had rooted all my devices and "unrooted" them but mobile banking apps and some non root apps constantly shows root message even I flashed stock firmware again..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
You can unroot it, but it still has tripped knox. I unrooted my device.

Rooted..Samsung pay and Samsung Pass and SHealth also shown rooted even it is on stock firmware.Try Samsung Pass or SHealth and let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Yes, bc knox is triggered. You do not have root permission though. which means ur not rooted, knox is just triggered.

First, who makes a decent replacement nib?

Second, why doesn't Samsung sell replacement nibs?

Third, why does the S7+ only come with one?

Fourth, why hasn't Samsung done anything to resolve the confusing mess they created surrounding pens and nibsr? Seriously, if the S7+ weren't such an awesome tablet, I'd dump it in favor of something with better support. I could almost hear the frustration in the agent's voice when I called Samsung, "Oh, no! Not the nib again!!!" And since they can't sell me nibs, they suggested that I buy a new pen. That amounts to $60 for one nib.

Help an old man understand all this, please?

These?: B08HVNVND1
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
Amazon. Cheap. They're nothing special; the OEM ones are just nylon. As long as the replacement are the same dimensions you should be ok. Nibs are generally very long lived.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wellersl:
Thanks for your reply, blackhawk. While I appreciate you taking the time to respond, it doesn't solve the equation. There must be a go-zillion nibs on Amazon. Most of which have very poor reviews. And to be certain, the OEM nibs are not just nylon. The tips are of a very distinctly different material which gives it a rubbery, grippy quality that is very different than just nylon.

Right after I posted this query, it became immediately obvious that I'm not alone in this endeavor. I didn't bother to count how many times this topic has been created. But I am by no means the first.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
OEM ones are nylon, pretty sure about that. There are different types of nylon as well. My N10+'s came with 2 replacement nibs and extractor; Samsung* should have done you the same favor. Still on the original nib.

First hit I got on Amazon had a 4.5 star rating. Of course that's no guarantee it is the same.

Try ifixit. They are now partnered with Samsung.

*Samsung tech support is horrible. Been like that for many years😖
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wellersl:
I did not know ifixit had partnered with Sammy. That's good to know. Thanks for the education.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
They still don't seem to have OEM batteries at least for the N10+. It seems they started with more recent Samsung releases so bare that in mind. A lot of the junk coming out of China is well, junk.

Maybe Ebay. A crap shoot. Throw money at it until you find some that work. That's how I handle it. A learning curve, such great fun... not.

Is it any wonder I have no desire to buy a newly released Samsung? I know better... I know Samsung🤣 Samsung has always been hit or miss; the last 3 years for their flagship phones have been misses, some are epic fails at that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wellersl:
I had to chuckle at that. Ironic because the S7+ ain't exactly new. Yet there's a small army of us looking for nibs that are OEM or at least close.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
Last Samsung I bought was another N10+ a year ago. I have two I bought new. These are great devices; Samsung is very capable if they get their rabid hamsters on the same page in the same book. Otherwise especially recently, they are fubar.

I gave up on OEM batteries for the N10+ and now just make sure it's rated for 4300 mAh. Some on Ebay are selling used original batteries... yeah that will get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wellersl:

I tried going through recovery to bootloader, but that does not put me in download mode. Any other tips except Adb. Just thinking about what I can do in a boot loop or brick except wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] V0latyle:
If you're in recovery mode, you can use ADB to command a reboot to bootloader, which for most Samsung devices opens download mode as well - the screen is just black instead of green.

Getting into bootloader mode via the buttons depends on the device, but the universal method seems to be this:

Power device completely off, wait a minute or two

Hold both Volume + and - buttons, do NOT press Power

While holding Volume buttons, plug in USB cable connected to your PC

Device should start in download mode.

If you press Power, or connect the USB cable before holding the buttons, your device will just power on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Going into bootloader does not put me into download. I ahead to use Adb reboot download and you can’t use Adb in stock recovery

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] naime01765556:
If fastboot is not open then it is very difficult to repair. you have to open your mi pad then have to short your devices then go on edl mode and then only then you can flash your devices with the mi flash tool .it is very difficult.I am also this kind of situation one time on my redmi note 5 pro. I successfully recover my device. but it is really hard . best to see someone who knows this thing better.

I already tried edl mode but it gives me an error: Write Time Out Maybe Device Was Disconnected
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] naime01765556:
Is the device shown on mi flash tool?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Gamer_Mida:
yes but it gives me that error (write timeout maybe device was disconnected)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] naime01765556:
you have to need authorized_keys to flash ROM on devices, and this has to be bought from an authorized mi account member. you can search youtube and there are some telegram groups that do this thing.

I can give you an app I do not know if it works for your device or not it works for my note 5 pro.

you can try if work than it great

MI BL UNLOCK TOOLS.exe

drive.google.com

and try with old mi pad 5 fastboot rom
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] naime01765556:
you can try this video I do not know if it works or not but you can try it. if this work please tell me in the comment because I have also a mi pad 5 device.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] 0312birdzhang:
not yet, edl mode flash need special account, we don't have.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blitzz.666:
it costs 5 USD to have someone help you with an EDL Dev account :) I bricked my redmi k20 pro by accident and got a whatsapp nr from someone. google it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] 0312birdzhang:
I see, xiaomi pad5 need about 14 USD, i need pay for it :/
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] J173768N:
Where you find the edl account? Send a link please!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blitzz.666:
You can also try Francesco's tool https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Gamer_Mida:
on the page it is literally written that ''In some cases the device might not be unbricked with this tool, for example if it is hard-bricked.'' therefore it is a bit useless, in this case we need the unbrick, this doesn't help us
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] 0312birdzhang:
I found it on "闲鱼" app, you can also find many on telegram groups, search "edlauth"
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blitzz.666:
In my comment i literally wrote "you can also try", so your comment is useless. In case you need to unbrick, maybe buy another phone ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Gamer_Mida:
well, I can't, the mi pad 5 cost me 300 euros, I don't want to lose it to a hard brick, I prefer to find a solution
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blitzz.666:
Then give a few euros to a dev that has edl account :) simple.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Gamer_Mida:
honestly, I don't know how to use them, and I don't understand how xiaomi thought of putting this thing that only authorized accounts can flash in edl, I understand that in this way they could flash roms without unlocking the bootloader and waiting 1/2 weeks, but they didn't have thought that then whoever owned the authorized account could sell it? practically they have not managed to remove the authorization, since it is enough to pay and you have already taken it
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blitzz.666:
They allow you to do something. That's it. They are not responsible for what you do next. Be glad there's an option. In apple/samsung universe, even a soft brick means warranty/service, or buy a new phone.
