Yeah, it seems they don't let you have 2 hotmail accounts. But I do have more than one gmail account on there.

Here's one possible work-around:

Log on to your hotmail account on the pc. Then enable sending & receiving emails from other accounts as well. I have added my other hotmail account to it, and now get emails for both.
[Touch Pro CDMA] oneHeero:
this is what im trying to do.

can u check if u can have a hotmail and gmail account at thw sametime. i can add a 2nd hotmail but its through web and cant even see pics. i want 2emails available right off the back. if i can have gmail n hotmail simultaneously that would be cool.
[Touch Pro CDMA] atomic2mod:
I have 1 hotmail & 2 gmail accounts, directly accessible and showing up on TF3D.

No problem putting 2 gmail accounts on, just a problem with 2 hotmail accounts, since you have to set those up through Windows Live App.
[Touch Pro CDMA] TheDempster:
Has anyone figured out how to have two accounts with the same Domain Name Yet?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Reistlehr:
I didnt have a problem setting up 3 email accounts from the same domain. It's a personal domain. I unchecked find server settings automatically, set each as internet email, then followed the prompts. No problem with all three.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolyeet:
So, I want to root my Z Fold3 SM-F926B running Android 13, but as I saw everywhere, I need bootloader enable. I want to know if I can do a bootloader without losing all my files, or if I can back up my phone using samsung backup optios and after I enabled the bootloader I can redo everything that was backed up. And after that, is there anything more I have to do to use Magisk? Like something so complicated as bootloadeing?

By backing up, I mean everything that my phone has, like apps, photos, accounts and everything else. Samsung has an option to save your current phone state and you can download it back after a reset or on another phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethical_haquer:
When you unlock the bootloader, your device will have to be wiped. So yes, you will have to back up your phone beforehand to safe everything. As for how to back it up and restore it, do a quick search online and see. The official installation instructions for Magisk can be found here.

If you have any questions, let me know.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primaleph:
I recently had to order a different Pixel C, because I accidentally bricked my last one by erasing the bootloader. Sucks, but it's over now. The problem is, this new one seems to have a bootloader issue too.

I was able to install all the automatically downloaded updates for Android 8.1, and ADB looks to be working fine. However, I get "unsupported command" for any fastboot flash or fastboot boot command. Fastboot reboot works, so it's not quite as bad as my other one, but what do I do here? I need some kind of recovery, whether stock or TWRP.

I've already been in touch with the seller about how this doesn't fit my definition of "good working condition". I suspect there may not be a way to fix this, but just wanted to check and see if anyone has an idea about it. I tried the fwtool command recommended elsewhere to fix fastboot, but the file was not found.

Thanks in advance for your input.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primaleph:
I was able to get it working by locking the bootloader, re-unlocking, and then using nvflash
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardomarx:
How did you use nvflash? Could you point me to any link or method ?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primaleph:
I think I copied nvflash into TWRP and ran it from there. Don't entirely remember. I think it was the last comment on this page that I used to fix it.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardomarx:
mmm... having a working recovery it's definitely possible but i haven't found any way to fix this using just the fastboot mode - that's the worst case scenario unfortunately..

there is no even the mentioned word "nvflash" in the thread you linked.

thank you, but i will throw the pixel in the bin - i already wasted years for this ****ty google device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bgtip:
I got my S23 Ultra 512GB today, in Bulgaria.

I come from Note 4, which I have had since 2015. Android is v 6.0.1.

So I need practical advice what to enable and what to disable in the initial settings. I intend to use it mostly for video watching (Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime) and for picture/video shooting. I would like a balance between quality and battery life, but picture quality is a priority.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korowin:
That would be some good info which i would appreciate too.

And for a change it seems we in Bulgaria are on the lucky side, being able to get the phone on the 1st day after the unveil :)

The removed "Keep WiFi on during sleep" setting adb workaround below worked for me properly before doing a reset. I just enabled it on my Android 10 and 11 devices and its working in reverse where wifi stays on during sleep except when charging it turns off?? Any advice appreciated

To set it:

adb shell settings put global wifi_sleep_policy 1

To find out what it is now:

adb shell settings list global

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Always = 2

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Only When Plugged In = 1

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Never = 0

Will try this now. Should the other slots BL/CP/CSC be filled with the firmware files when flashing this AP?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No needs, Flash requied file with AP slot onl
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zzattack:
I flashed the AP file. I could not enter recovery mode to do factory reset. Device went into boot-loop mode, but after some failed attempts launched recovery by itself. Then I was able to do factory reset, and device boots properly.

Magisk (25.2 from apk in your zip file) still indicates: not installed. Ramdisk yes. Zygisk no (obviously).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You flashed AP file I have provide or one with patched with magisk yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zzattack:
Earlier today I used Magisk alpha to patch the AP from WA6 firmware.

Some minutes ago I flashed AP file from you on top. It only wrote boot and vbmeta.

Any debug info/logging I can provide?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TechDecipher:
Might I inquire as to the U.S. versions and if they are indeed rootable given that you stated variants can be rooted? I am interested in getting a version to play around with and use to learn some development.

I have thought about getting a UK version and rooting it and using the data over wi-fi in the U.S. only just to learn and more or less use it as a test/tinker device rather than a daily driver. If it works good then get a US version later for a daily use phone but I'd love to combine all that if possible.

Not sure if it matter but I typically don't even use a google account on my phones and never any banking apps or pay setups so I wouldn't be concerned with the wallet/pay apps not functioning

If it';s not appropriate to share here, and I don't want to hijack the thread, could you please share more info with me via dm? Thank You

To be clear...I unlock bootloader...

Download root files...

.flash the md5 into AP...

.factory reset...

Instal magisk from the root files....

Or do I need to download the full firmware and patch the AP from that in Magisk¿

Or do both options give me root¿

Thanks again for your hard work Doc.

Do you need to install KnoxPatch after unlocking bootloader and installing root with Magisk?

What are the Pro and Cons?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I haven't personally used but you can install it if needed. Custom ROM ususally have pre-fix and don't need, stock ROM may needs thing to patch and Knox Patch should do it.

Notification toggle? I don't remeber any such toggle. Can you show me what device does it have? Any screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Garock:
in most apps, usually you can choose to toggle on/off for each notification category, but not in the System UI app

you can't toggle them off because the components are disabled (only Screenshot can be toggled off/on as you wish)

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
That's same since oneui 5.0

It requires patching core app, instead easiest way is to install NCleaner from play store, remove all unwanted notifications and then Uninstall NCleaner
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Garock:
thanks. never heard about the app before

although a system hack where you can freely on/off any notification will be godsend 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] treahuggs:
Why does this and your prerooted ROM not work on 918U?

No, I heard U1, U, and W(canada) models do not have OEM unlock. Without exploit to unlock BL, their unrootable. The person whom can exploit is up to 21 Ultra so could be a year if not more before he's at 23 Ultra but the international versions do have oem unlock. Sucks to suck being in US.

Magisk (that is version 25206 is showing an update (25210) but I can't do the update (is crashing during the update).

I understand from the update log that maybe that will fix the read/write rights but I'm not sure how to upgrade. I've uninstalled Magisk as an app (not by removing root itself) and tried to install the new version 25210, but it's crashing.

What should I do?

Regular system partition is read-only. You have to install RO2RW to change the filesystem to make system read/write. Search on XDA.
