[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] OrthodoxOxygen:
As the title suggests, I'd like to know if I can unlock this phone's bootloader. I've seen a few people say that they've successfully done so, but I cannot seem to find a guide anywhere (meaning it either doesn't exist, isn't possible for some models, or it's as easy as toggling "OEM Unlocking" in the developer settings and doing the commands)

My phone is arriving soon and I'd just like to know ahead of time, please

Thank you for your time and consideration
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] iBowToAndroid:
North American Samsungs have not been bootloader unlockable by the end user since the days of the S7 and S8.

So no, "OEM Unlock" will not (ever) appear in Developer Options, on a W model

Intriguingly, I have root, superuser access for apps, but none of my modules are working. Could be I did something wrong, flashed the wrong something the wrong way..., whatever.

Gonna clean up the show and start over.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Artimis:
It could depend on the specific module and compatibility with Android 12. Which modules specifically?

Depending on files the module is overriding, some will work regardless of Android version, others may be very specific to the version or even the phone/oem framework
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] pbergonzi:
Ohhh..., thank you. Things that used to work on 11.

Ad Away, Vanced, Replace T-Mo Boot Anim With McLaren Anim; Disable T-Mo Shutdown Anim.

(Ad Away is not a mod, it's a root app that says there's no room for it now.)

I see what you mean--some of these things could have different names internally now.

I'll fiddle around some and report back, and Artimis--thank you for your ongoing help.

Methinks I can be perfectly happy with 12 when I get the most important things working, else I'll just revert to 11.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] pbergonzi:
Issue with Ad Away was corrected by simply enabling "Systemless Hosts" in Magisk.

Issue with Vanced was a matter of my accidentally updating my YouTube and YouTube Music, when prior to that I had been using an older version that Vanced could manage properly. I am looking into the new Revanced.net to see if that will be a viable solution for me.

Haven't looked at the boot and shutdown anims, but that is probably just an animation renamed from what the earlier versions of those modules changed, which is no big deal, but probably correctible, possibly via console command.

Oddly, the bootloader unlock warning doesn't show, but I think that's because the T-Mo 12 ROM was written in such a way as to cover it up--maybe it was overlooked(?)--the phone still seems to take as much time to boot as it would if the warning was showing.

Now that I'm comfortable with the process (and with @Chueppo boot images, and your sparkling assistance), it may just be time for me to a complete cleanup via factory reset, and start with a super-fresh phone, 'cause this sure is one nice phone.

Thanks again.

I'm looking for an A13 ROM or Kernel for this device which has wireguard kernel module support baked in. AFAIK the last one I'd used was the fsociety tribute kernel for A12 but have since moved on. I feel like there has to be something? I was looking in to building the kernel from source and adding it in myself - but I currently don't have the hardware to achieve this task.

did hou get your device from trading shenzen? are there any differences to Chinese version of the devices? if you got the device from them, can you fast boot flash global or any other version?

sorry for the off topic
[Xiaomi 13] Gankadin:
I got it from eBay, if you want i can send you the link.

They did the bootloader unlock and pre-installed the EU ROM, i just fastboot updated it.

My unit is the China version, so you can't flash global rom and lock the bootloader, so EU ROM is the best option.
[Xiaomi 13] ond96:
with Chinese version ROM, are there any downsides? I am just worried if I have unlocked bootloader, Google pay will stop working eventually or won't at all as it does on custom ROM s

Well the EU ROM makes google and banking apps think that the bootloader is locked, so as long as the developers will continue to make updates there shouldn't be any problems. but check here more posts lots of people talking about China vs Global.

Staying with arrowos, thanks for the feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Fuhoku:
Good choice. The update to MIUI 14 only adds a few stuff, and most of them are not useful (at least for me). The only good thing about this update is that it asks for notification access on app install, but that's already baked into Android 13 and not MIUI's invention.

There aren't any performance improvements from what I can tell. Games are still in low resolution. Honestly I expected more from this update, MIUI has gone downhill.

This guide will show you how to enable VoWIFI/VoLTE on Xperia 5 IV(it should work on 1 IV) phones without rooting /unlocking bootloader.

Tested on XQ-CQ62 (US model ) , Tmobile mvno (ultra mobile).

Currently it works even after restart for me but apparently after each restart it should stop working and you would have to redo the process.

Thanks to devs of pixel volte patch(github) and shizuku app devs.

Requirements:

As expected, this had to be redone after updates, no big deal. However, build 64.1.A.0.929 seems to have killed it.

Hi, I have a Motorola Droid Turbo from Verizon, that I got from a family member. This phone I got was in very good condition, so I didn't take it apart like I normally do. Before I turned it on, I formatted it, and looked to see if there were any backdoors I could find to bypassing the FRP. I couldn't, so I tried adb sideloading the same firmware as the phone, but that didn't work sadly. Please tell me if you have any ideas on what to do, or if you have had the same experience.

[General Questions and Answers] sonimuser8:
Hello,

This is probably a 'noobish' question but I'm a bit confused.

I have an AT&T Sonim XP8 that I flashed with this user debug image since the device got bricked so had to be re-flashed completely.

For reference, the bootloader is also unlocked.

Every time I try to update from AT&T Software Updater, the update downloads but the install will 'interrupt' and then if I try again it says the software is fully updated.

So I tried downloading the OTA updates from here but receive the error 'failed to verify whole-file signature' when I boot into recovery mode and try to install updates via adb.

So what I did next was factory reset the phone, run AT&T Software Updater with adb logcat running so I could try and capture the OTA update. I was able to, and this is the link if anyone wants it.

Then I booted into recovery mode and used this with the adb sideload command, and it still failed with the same failed to verify whole-file signature error. I was kind of confused why this would fail, considering that it's literally from the carrier.

If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Foxfirebass:
So, my family is switching to ATT for wireless, as we have ATT for everything else and my dad wants everything on one bill. Seeing as I'm posting here, I'm planning on getting a Fuze ;p

Anyhoo, the rebate details say:

"Requires activation on a PDA Personal Plan or a $45 or highter PDA data rate plan or a $20 or higher messaging plan plus an AT&T Voice Plan of $39.99 or higher:

AT&T Tilt™ HTC P4600 (Fuze) LG CT810 (Incite) Motorola Q9 Global Palm® Treo™ 750 Pantech C810 (Duo) Samsung BlackJack™ Samsung BlackJack™ II Samsung i907 (Epix) "

My dad, for whatever reason, decided that he wants to get the unlimited messaging plan for families, which is $30. Is this going to count? More importantly, has anyone done this? I'm planning on seeing if I like the Fuze, and if I do, I'll get the data plan. Otherwise, I'll sell it and get the HD.

Thanks,

Ted
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
1. Yes it will work. I haven't done this, but it works. I've asked the rep. In fact you don't even need the pda personal/messaging on your line either, it can be on any line.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chickeen:
I was wondering this exact same thing when I was buying my Fuze. My family already has the $30 unlimited messaging plan, but the Fuze itself requires the $30 PDA activation/unlimited data plan.

So, to answer your question, your father can get the $30 messaging family plan, but you will still have to get the $30 PDA activation/unlimited data plan, specifically for your phone line.

Don't worry, though, the Fuze will not disappoint you. :D

Also, I didn't think that the Touch HD was even being sold in the U.S. anytime soon...?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] htcfan78:
The rebate does NOT require that you get a data plan. The rebate form specifically says PDA Personal OR $20 or higher messaging plan. The family messaging plan qualifies. I do not have the data plan, just the family messaging, and my rebate has been approved. I'm now waiting for it to be mailed.

I have a Fire TV stick with the same issue. It looks like Amazon is using a tablet bootloader that navigates menus using the device's physical buttons.
