[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bdvince:
Can you please go into this thread for the S22U and see if this same method works to pop-up a Service Menu on your phones?

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-enab...-fold4-series-including-4g-lte-5g-nr.4546229/

Essentially go into a System Shell and launch the following command and see if a Service Menu pops up:

am broadcast -a com.samsung.android.action.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378 -n com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp/.SecKeyStringBroadcastReceiver

Previously this method was used for international Samsung's with Snapdragon processors to enable ALL missing bands for use in other countries, but it did NOT work on Exynos. Now that Snapdragon has been standardized across all regions this method may work on EU phones as well. If so it may give a wider reach to US users to contribute to cross-platform development; no more separating S23 forums by hardware type.

Report back if it works - You will be the first S23 pioneers to make this fascinating discovery!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ProfessorM_:
Is this need rooted device or it was working without?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bdvince:
You may not have to be rooted, just have a system level shell to run the command which launches the Service Menu. See if @K0mraid3's System Shell Exploit works if you're not rooted:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
This exploit doesn't work on the s23 Ultras sold in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dDesuKb:
It's also not working on my S918B.

The exact package required to exploit it has an anti roll-back protection on it.

Could be a OneUI 5.1 problem or a S23 series problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bdvince:
That's unfortunate the System Shell exploit isn't working on SM918B. I'm assuming you're not rooted to see if the Service Mode command launches directly from su?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dDesuKb:
Yep. Not rooted. The exact apk required is behind anti roll back so it just immediately fails and it does nothing except tries 5 times and fails 5 times.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
I hope someone who's rooted can try this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
Are you going to root and try this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
anyone with root able to test this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Boxy52:
Rooted S918B - command via SU and terminal works. Service menu pops up and is accessible, method 2 worked great (I didn't bother trying method 1)

Holy crap that is a lot of bands.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] and2cs:
I tried on my rooted s918b, and it worked! However, it looks like the b version has less bands than u version. And there is no mmWave available.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ULTRA90:
Come faccio a testare? Quale applicazione devo avere sul mio telefono?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ULTRA90:
How do I test? What application should I have on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
After buying an SM-S918B I can cofirm that you CAN enable the missing bands. 5G on T-mobile didn't work with the SM-S918B, but once I did this and enabled all bands it is now.

I had to root the phone and su to SYSTEM to run the am command.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ULTRA90:
can you explain step by step how you did it please?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
1. Unlock bootloader

2. Root your phone

3. Su to system

4. run am broadcast -a com.samsung.android.action.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378 -n com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp/.SecKeyStringBroadcastReceiver

5. follow https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-enab...-fold4-series-including-4g-lte-5g-nr.4546229/ - *I* used

D. METHOD 2: Unlock all bands via Protocol Simulation menu.

If METHOD 1 above didn't work or not all bands were unlocked, you can try to unlock all bands by simulating a change in your CSC to GCF (Global Certification Forum). This won't actually change your CSC to GCF, but will change the options in the service menu as if you were on GCF CSC, which should give you access to all SA and NSA bands. Credits to @wr3cckl3ss1 for figuring out this method.

To do this method, first enter the service mode main menu using either of the following ways.

Open dialer and enter *#27663368378# to get directly into the service mode main menu.

Open dialer and enter *#73# to get into RF Test mode. Press Band Selection. Press three dots on top right -> Back. Repeat three dots -> back three more times until you get to the service mode main menu.

Using the service menu, change the following options

Go to: Service Mode Main Menu -> PROTOCOL STATE -> PROTOCOL SIMULATION -> IMEI PRE CFG SIMULATION.

In this menu, click [1] AP, then click GCF (last option). Then click [2] NET1 and change it to GCF as well. Do the same for [3] NET2. All GCF.

Press [4] Write. Then restart phone.

Check if all SA bands were unlocked. If not, repeat the band unlocking instructions from METHOD 1 above and then restart the phone and check again.

6. reboot

7. enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bdvince:
Besides mmWave, the screenshot @Boxy52 posted shows that the phone is missing the 5G n71 band and 4G 71 band. Are you saying you're able to enable these missing bands on the S918B through the Service Menu? Can you post a screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
No, I was able to get all bands that were disabled on the rom enabled. 71 is not on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] paparaxy:
Please, did the Method 2 work without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
No, I stated that I rooted.

Not on this model. However I'm told it does work on the US version.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] QBerto:
I noticed a few days ago that my phone (SM-S908E) had no service from my network provider (appears as "emergency calls only" or "no service").

The SIM and all its services works perfectly fine on any other device, and any SIM (from the same provider) gives me the same issue on the S22U, the network appears when try to manually select it, but never connects, it takes a lot of time and just a "Not Available" appears later.

I noticed later, while moving, I have perfectly fine signal sometimes, even 5G when available, I noticed this outside and near cellular towers.

My network provider says everything is fine on their side, the SIM and the device itself (well they only checked the SIM port). It make sense to me because I can get the service in my old S9 and S20 with that SIM.

My conclusion is that the device is not able to get the signal as before (like a range thing?), and because I don't know when it started but I know I updated an OTA on early feb (I noticed this issue on feb 5th), I want to ask you guys:

- Is there a chance the update was wrongly downloaded/installed and is affecting the mobile network?

- Can I redownload the update on any official way to reinstall it? I remember exactly that as a "repair" function on smart switch pc but is not availble on my device.

- Can I downgrade to my previous firmmware (with odin) to see if this was a update error, and if I can, that keeps the official status?

I have warranty yet, but I don't want to go to service center unless neccesary, and if I can try something and keep that official status before losing my device for a few days, that'd be nice
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fillip:
Hello recently had to send my phone away to vodafone for repair as the volume button snapped somehow, anyway i backed up all my data using sprite bac up tool which was provided on a disc with the phone.

It restored my phone to how i had it before but now i can't go on the internet or do anything related with data, weather, mms, updates etc. When I go to communications and click data the loading symbol comes up but then nothing happens and the data will not turn on.

I have tried restoring to manufactuer defaults and the data then works but as soon as i restore my bacup it stops working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ecltech:
Are you restoring your backup to the same ROM version? Was this a full system backup including registry/etc?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fillip:
It was a full bacup including all windows and program data. I dont know if they changed the ROM version as I dont know what was on it before it went for repair. I dont know why they would of needed to flash it for just changing a button. Unless there was an update available i guess?

I tried a bacup which didnt include the windows directory and it still had the same issues

thanks for your reply

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] cascaraband:
Hi! I have an A53. Having waited for any exploit root wise for the USA models, I've started looking at other alternative ways to get there.

I know the biggest hang up is that on USA models the "Unlock OEM Bootloader" option is not present in the Developer Options.

With there being /some/ exploits and things you can do to the device prior to having root access, I was wondering if there is any feasible way to load something like a UK firmware on to my device to then provide me with the "Unlock OEM Bootloader" option-

I attempted changing the CSC with the SamFW tool 4.0, and though it claimed to have changed the CSC to BTE (From XAA) it still did not let me load up a BTE firmware in ODIN.

Is there any way whatsoever to cheat this mess of unrootability?

Please let me know any ideas you have!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] windows4droid:
There are no solutions currently

Unless the device model contains an MTK processor
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] yakapa40:
if your device is SM-A536U with SamFW tool 4.0 you can only change your original CSC with one of the OYN multi CSC firmware ( stored in prism or and optic firmware )

View attachment 5832469

BTE : UK (BT) is part of A536B firmware
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
How about the SM-S536DL; Straight Talk/Tracfone variant? I've SIM-unlocked it but would like to flash U radio bands. Not getting bands 41 or 71 so no 5G on T-Mobile. There used to be a time where you could enter codes in the dialer to access hidden menus to select radio bands, but long patched I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] yakapa40:

you can try to change your CSC to TFO ( with T mobile préconfiguration )

Do I just flash the CSC?

Simple Mobile is owned by Verizon now (acquired all of Tracfone) but hopefully still using T-Mobile.

EDIT: I flashed the CSC only with SamFW Tool 4.0, still says TFN, no 5G. In fact the CSC says TFN in the file, they all do whether I choose CSC "TFA", "TFV', "TFO" etc. Its all Tracfone so...?

Edit # 3: I just ended up flashing all 4 TFO files. Looks like I have 5G now. Who knew.

There's also this new thing you can try to change CSC.

https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/10zdhv1

Does not require root, and no idea when Samsung will patch it.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
I checked it out earlier; I found options to enable 5G bands 41 & 71, also LTE band 71. But I never seen anything other than LTE bands 2, 4, 12, & 66 actually being used. After reboot, the bands selected weren't selected anymore as far as I can recall. Also, changing the CSC doesn't actually seem to change it. It's an interesting tool, but I don't think it actually does anything except making you think you did. This was with my SIM unlocked Straight Talk A53, using Mint Mobile SIM card (T-Mobile). Maybe I wasn't doing it correctly, but it was fun being able to access these hidden menus I haven't been able to for eons.

What I did do yesterday, was flash TFO firmware with Odin (my A53 is TFN) and even though my CSC still says "TFN" It says 5G on my signal bar now - I never got 5G before that. I have no idea what band, probably just trickery on Mints part. I've only ever seen LTE bands 2, 4, 12, & 66 in use in the service menu.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] dennis5pia:
it's not connected to 5G, if the 5G icon is not in Bold is not connected to 5G, 5G icon not in Bold, only means that your carrier is transmitting a 5G signal that your phone can detect. I have that problem. I have the A536U1/DS, my carrier model is A536E/DS, so I have the 5G icon but not in bold, so I can't connect to my carrier 5G, and apparently the A536U1/DS cannot be converted to A536E/DS.

You can download NetMonster APP and you will see that it's not connected to 5G..

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Zebsky:
HI,

I bought a pixel 5 a couple of years back, because the screen had a crack in it and I couldn't find anyone to repair it where I live, I decided to buy a new phone. The pixel 5 was still fully functional.

A friend of mine needed a temporary phone, so I lend him my pixel 5. After a fallout, I asked my pixel 5 phone back and forgot about it.

This weekend, my main Samsung phone got stolen, so I decided to pick up my Pixel 5 phone and factory reset it. When setting up the phone, it kept asking me for the email of a previous owner. I would need his permission to use the phone, even though it's my phone and I have the invoice and ID to prove that I bought it.

I talked to google, and they tell me there is no other way around it without my friends' permission. My friend fell mentally ill (drug induced), and he is unable to comprehend what I would ask from him. I broke the friendship because he was unpredictable and quite honestly a danger, not only for himself, but everyone around him.

After I kept pushing google if there is no other way around this, they kept persisting that only my friend could help me set up my phone. It is also only the last user that can help set up the phone. So if a previous owner would die, for example, the phone would be for the bin?

I can hardly believe this is true. This is my last resort, if you guys say the same I'll take my loss and throw my fully functional phone in the bin, which would be a shame. Also, a disclaimer for people that lend out a pixel phone, the moment you get it back reset it with the person you lend it out with because if that person would die, disappear, or decided not to help you. You would have no way to ever get into the phone again. I even told them I could provide them with a power of attorney and a picture of his ID, but this was not sufficient. I wonder if they don't want to help or that it really is the only way.

Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
You're asking about bypassing Factory Reset Protection. This is generally not possible, unfortunately. This happens because someone, probably your friend, performed a factory reset on the device without removing his Google account. Having an invoice doesn't matter and Google won't help you; the only thing you can do is try to get your former friend to enter his information so that you can unlock it and perform another factory reset, this time via the system settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jazee:
I was considering upgrading from Note 20 Ultra (Snapdragon) to a new S23 Ultra and then realized the $800 (after trade-in) probably wasn't worth it so I should just stick to my trusted strategy of buying last years model refurb in like new condition (factory unlocked) and save my money.

So I hadn't experimented with difference camera apps (shamed to admit after 1.5 years using my Note 20 Ultra). I usually used just the normal app on auto mode and it's fine for casual shooting. After experimenting and discovering the Expert Raw app my jaw dropped.

The RAW images produced buy the native camera app in "Pro" mode are terrible - worse thant the JPEGS. Loss of detail when you'd expect more detail and no, I'm pretty sure it's just not sharpening vs no sharpening, they are really worse than the JPEGs. The RAW and JPEG images produced by the Expert Raw app are fantastic, especially if you install Lightroom and run the raw photo quickly through Lightroom for further, quick and easy tweaking on the phone itself.

So I started seeing GCam referenced in DPReview forums (which I've been absent from since a couple years) and I side loaded the latest version 8.4. It appears to me this app is designed to use the main sensor wide camera only and doesn't work with the ultrawide or telephoto cameras? Is that true? I took a low light indoor shot using the default settings and the Expert Raw produce a way better image than GCam. Gcam produce a similar quality image if I put it in Night Mode but it took a way longer shot processing time. Or just warn them to hold the phone stead and wait for the line to go all away around the shutter button circle.

I think for this phone the Expert Raw app is the way to go except in cases where I'm going to have someone else take the shot as Expert raw takes a lot longer to take the photo than the native camera app and most people are use to instant shots when they press the shutter so I can see someone move the phone after they press the shutter in Expert Raw before it's done taking the photo.

2) Is there any way of rearranging the order your favourites are displayed in the Internet tab of TouchFlo (Manilla)? They currently appear in the order they were added but I'd much prefer them to be alphabetical like they are in Opera itself!
