[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Zamkat:
Based on what I'm reading, I'm going to have trouble with updates, regardless.

There's a lot of data, so I may have some things confused, but it looks like I'll have to re-root my phone for every update by copying the current boot img and replacing it, and then patching manually after the update, or something...?

I don't remember ever having to do that when I rooted previous phones (it's been some years). Was it because I had a custom ROM on there? Does that resolve the update problem?

If I'm going to pull my boot img this way, I have a lot of questions.

In section A.1.1., on step 1, when it says to find your current slot, I'm assuming that means the slot with my boot image?

If all I'm wanting to do is copy my boot img, do I need to do anything else after step 8?

Flashing the magisk patched boot image roots the phone, right?

The section A.2.1 seems like the simplest way to backup my boot img and put a good recovery on my phone before rooting, unless I'm missing something.

I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but this is all I have for now, I think.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I suggest you read https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-introduction-to-the-oneplus-8t-why-is-it-so.4380349/

I hope this will clear up some of your questions.

As far as I know (I don't use them on this phone), custom ROMs don't use incremental (delta) updates, so you don't need to restore the original partitions before flashing.

This is also true when installing full-image (not incremental) OOS updates.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] harrymls:
Hi all, I just had the S23 for a couple of days now and have experienced quite a few bugs: Camara failed, restart automatically from time to time, cannot enter themes saying not available in my market (successfully logged in the next day).

Therefore I was quite happy when there is an OTA popped out today and I immediately started the OTA update.

However the update stuck at the download mode, error message on screen being "Build-id does not match with the reference".

Followed the instruction to restart, and try entering the recovery mode both did not work, all coming back to the download mode screen.

I've never flashed my device, any ways to clean the cache and do the OTA again? Just need to bypass the download mode screen...

Worst case is I return the phone to the original dealer (still within 14 days regret period) and get a new one. I just moved all my data to the phone and am quite reluctant to do so if there's no other alternatives.

Thanks for your help in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
I would return it. Not a good start... if it's hardware it will just bite you again, eventually.

A Samsung Experience center at a best buy can run advanced diagnostics on it and reflash it if you decide to play Samsung roulette.

The data is toast either way. Wishing you had an SD card slot yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] harrymls:
Thanks for the

Thanks for replying. I try to do a online smart repair but obviously S23 is too new to be included in their aftersales tool. Here in Germany there is only limited places that I can go. So probably I end up returning it but it's such a pity since it has the best phone camera I've used and I really wish to stay...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
You're welcome. Sorry. That's too much money to risk it being a hardware fault and even it isn't you shouldn't have to be reflashing it right out of the box. That takes away the joy of new ownership and then some.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Morak75:
That's bad luck indeed.

Either Samsung shop to fix that? Either returning it or asking for an exchange yep. For you data, didn't you sync on Samsung cloud or Google cloud?

Good luck with this sh*t.

Ps: idk if your computer detect your phone? So you could flash the firmware again through odin? I read this tool can detect the phone model and automatically download the latest firmware directly from Samsung update sevrer.. Idk what it worths https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910594/

[Samsung Galaxy S23] fkofilee:
Odin it with the firmware from Sammobile or Frija - Relatively straight forward etc
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, you can very easily just reflash the firmware using a PC - and no factory reset required
[Samsung Galaxy S23] harrymls:
Thanks for the tip. Used Odin and it did work. However when trying OTA it comes again, so had to flash once more. I'll just leave it and Samsung was kind enough to give me 5% on my next order in Samsung Shop so I'll just return this and get a new one via Samsung. Hope I'll get a normal one.

Before I brick this thing, is it possible to install TWRP through the sd card,Will it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] ze7zez:
Don't do anything hastily. Your phone should be fully operational before you install TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Huh??? Reboot to bootloader is SUPPOSED to take to download mode. Where are you trying to get?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
Thank you...Understood
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
It does take me there..It freezes at download mode!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Arealhooman:
So you can’t boot to system? Or you can’t use download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
The system works fine. Just can't use download mode..Not allowing to connect with adb fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You need to explain what you mean by that and what things you did before this occured. Have you tried getting to download manually? By that I mean turning the tablet off and then holding vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable to the PC. Also, what happens when you try to boot to system?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Ah, so your problem is only that you can't use fastboot. Have you installed TWRP? This model doesn't support fastboot by itself. You have to first install TWRP to use fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
11
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You need to read this thread to install TWRP. You do it with Odin and not fastboot. Odin is what Samsung uses INSTEAD of fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
I cannot install TWRP,..

1.I Shut down

2.Press power and Vol up button

3.Gets in Recovery

4. I scroll to Reboot to bootloader

5. Goes into download mode. Freezes

6.Press power and Vol down buttons

7.Goes back to home screen

8. Rinse and repeat
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Do you have Odin running? Do you get the "added message" in Odin? That is the only way to tell if it is connected. You say it "freezes" but that is normal. So long as you get the added notice in Odin, you are ready to flash. If you don't get the "added" message, then you have to enter the download mode manually and NOT from the recovery menu. Also, have you unlocked the bootloader? That has to be the very first step. Nothing will work till you do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I think I know what your problem is. You've had other tablets and have always used fastboot for rooting, unlocking and flashing. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Samsung doesn't work like other tablets. The ONLY time you use fastboot with this device is AFTER you have unlocked it, installed TWRP, rooted and want to install a GSI ROM. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, root the tablet or flash TWRP, stock ROMs or custom ROMs. You can find instruction for unlocking the bootloader here. It is for the A7 but the A8 unlocks the same way. Then use the other link I posted for installing TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Arealhooman:
ONG he was using fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] ze7zez:
My understanding is different. The problem is that the download mode can't be started because there is a hangup. So how can you use Odin, which requires a working phone in download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Your understanding is wrong. There isn't a hangup. If you haven't followd the instructions I just linked to unlock the bootloader, then NOTHING is going to work. Believe me! I've done this with numerous Samsung tablets. When you enter the download mode, the tablet will just sit there doing nothing until Odin tells it to.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] piazzii:
Well, I did manage to follow the directions to unlock....Will take some time to do the full tutorial...Thanks all for all the replies..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] ze7zez:
Would you agree that you don't need to unlock the bootloader to run the download mode?

Unlocking the bootloader irretrievably destroys security from Samsung and is not needed for anything here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You could use the download mode to flash stock ROMs but why would you need to do that when you're getting updates OTA? You do need to unlock to root and you need root to debloat. And you can get udates via frija.exe and other sites and flash them with Odin. So you CAN keep up security updates. In theory, you void the warranty, but Samsung will, in most cases, still honor it if you relock. I haven't installed LOS 20 because, from what I read, it still has problems with streaming, but normally I'd prefer it over stock.

edit: BTW, I'm an 83 yr old retired computer consultant and buying and selling computer stuff is my hobby. I currently own a half dozen Android tablets and have installed countless custom ROMs in the last decade. I have NEVER experienced a security issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexusa_D:
Same app same version has different sizes on different stores like apkpure, apkmirror, f-droid, aptoide etc. I.e. Firefox varies from 18 mb to 73 to 85.

So obviously they won't have the same checksum.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
If you check it properly, the same application without any version changes, is available in the google store in different sizes. Gogle is a vendor of apps from the store and adds periodically to the apps whatever googling needs at the time.

Another reason for the differences is that many apps are built separately for different hardware versions.

A third reason I know of is that the developer makes apps available outside the store.

The fourth reason is the most spectacular: they are fake apps with unwanted add-ons.

If anyone knows other reasons, post here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexusa_D:
But wait, this means that apps in alternate stores still contain injected google code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lioce:
You need to check the apk signature to know who build the app.

BTW, all apps from f-droid have a different signature, because f-droid signs the app when builds it from source code.

I have my WhatsApp number which was closed in 2020, but my WhatsApp is still working well on that number due to which I never tried to update the OS. I have lot of imp chats & all my work is still going on that number via WhatsApp (GbwhatsApp)

Is is possible to backup the whole app with its data? As its almost 60gb of data which I cannot delete plus cannot lose that number too.

Hi,

I've been trying to get hold of a Samsung J6 replacement screen to replace my old one. It's a simple job of click and glue. However, I've tried several screens that all rock in the phone recess and not sit flush. I can't afford an original screen which probably would fit perfectly. So,through ebay each screen I try doesn't fit because of the chip and digitizer connector not seating correctly and it's driving me up the pole with frustration. Has anybody got any ideas of which screen to buy or if I'm doing something wrong? Please, save my sanity. Thankyou.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

Is the frame bent or anything internally displaced? Has the battery failed? Any Li swelling is a failure, replace asap.

Any impact that can break the display can do additional internal damage.

Best to always use a good case to not only protect the exterior but to also limit G loading on internal components from a drop. The SOC and all BGA chipsets are particularly vulnerable to G loading and mobo flexing.
[General Topics] gauss101:
Hi,

No, everything is in place and lined up ok. If I put in the broken screen it sits snuggly into its recess. Either I'm really thick, as nobody else seems to have had this problem, or a lot of people are either buying the original screens or happy with a Chinese wonky one. ;o)
