That one is very similar to the Nillkin Leather Case here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BR3SNDHR/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_7?smid=A309VPOTQ0GC0S&psc=1

Indeed, but I like carbon fibre look :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darek5cro:
Hello.. Any new interesting case for S23 Ultra? Any shop inside Europe (tax free, normal shipping price..).

What I am looking is transparent/clear - but with raised edges around the screen.. Ringke doesnt have that, found only Spigen..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gcogger:
Not sure why you say Ringke doesn't have that? My Ringke Air Case is exactly that - clear with raised edges all around.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darek5cro:
Ringke Fusion X Camo doesnt have that. At least what i saw with my own eyes. Around screen is leveled with screen not above, so when you lay down phone "face down" only "protection" are top and bottom side
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gcogger:
Ah, OK, I see what you mean. The Air Case is just above the level of the screen, which is more than enough, I think. Even if it was lower, the screen would still be fine when face down, as long as the top/bottom edges are raised. I think case manufacturers are wary of raising the edges too high (on slimmer cases, at least), as it would interfere with touches on the curved edge of the screen. I find the Air Case is as high as I'd want it to go at the edges, as it's just about starting to interfere when I try and touch the edge of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] madhuranand007:
Spigen Galaxy Edition ZeroOne is the best
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darek5cro:
No its not.. Its same as Ultra Hybrid but it has this printing. Price diff. is to big for same level protection.

So.. I am looking for something like that on Speck case but I cant find retailer in Europe, cause I think I need to pay tax fee if I order from USA
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
This case is sh*te. I ordered one and promptly returned it. Way too stiff and difficult to remove.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] trinadhchinna7:
I have tried it and they don't fit, I am using Ringke case I have used cases from ringke for nearly all my previous devices Amazon India Link
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] trinadhchinna7:
cases sold by Samsung are way too costly when compared to any other brand, why are they more costly? is it worth the cost?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darek5cro:
NO, you pay "name". Yes, you pay "name" for every case (product) but you get quality. With Samsungs cases you get quality, but for that price you can get even better quality and protection.

Ghostek,Otterbox,UAG,Spigen are on that "better protection side" but as I mentioned, they also have weak sides.

Like I said, I am having a hard time finding case from Europe retailer that offers complete fall protection in clear/transparent color. Right now I am using Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it has this all around screen protection, but also searching for one-two more ..

Did anyone tried this case from Ghostek?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Saturny:
Did you try Casetify? As for Ghostek, I bought one for my old Note 20 Ultra. It was a good case.

Never had a problem with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I have some official Samsung cases as well as Spigen ones. The official ones are my favourite, especially the clear case. It's the only one i found in my country with does not use flexible TPU, the entire thing is made of hard polycarbonate, so not even a hint of yellowing in the last 7 months. Every other clear case I've had eventually turns yellow. The silicone case is good as well. I'm not quite happy with the leather case though, it seems to wear off at the corners too soon, even though it feels amazing in hand and weighs only 30gm.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
As i hate cases and normally go caseless but the 23u is slippery i bought the Ringke Clear Case.... Wow it is so thin that phone still look premium... I use it for few days now and it is really nice, no slippery and so thin...

Galaxy S23 Ultra Case | Ringke Slim

Perfectly Designed for Galaxy S23 Ultra! This case is made with solid polycarbonate to protect your device against drops and scratches. Premium construction with a width of only 0.7mm. Frosted anti-fingerprint soft matte coating or transparent finish.

www.ringkestore.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Have tried it. It's really thin, felt great in the hand but it was so fragile that it broke at the corner near the S-pen cut-out within a week of use (without dropping or any sort of impact).

There weren't many reviews on Amazon when i bought it. But recently, there are multiple reviews saying that the same thing happened to them (along with pics)

I hope you have better luck than i did with this one. Or that Ringke has improved the material / design in the newer batches.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
You mean this one?

Amazon.com

Look totally fake product. The plastic looks milky and not clear transparent. Also plastic look like matte and not polycarbonate... I take mine 3 times now and no issue, no crack etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] guitarsmurf2501:
In a nutshell: yes.

I have their white silicone case: it's sturdy and offers enough protection without making the phone too bulky. It's a soft, grippy texture. It doesn't show fingerprints and doesn't even seem to gather dust in the corners around the lip of the case. Ticks all the boxes for me.
[General Questions and Answers] MommaTschida:
I have an LG K51 that's having some technical difficulties.

Boost Mobile LG K51 carrier unlocked, however I can't use text or make calls only use the internet if I put in any other SIM card. I believe it has to do with the software version. My question is can you flash it using a different region? Boost Mobile firmware for this phone seems to be MIA when searching the web.

Here is the info on it:

Model #: LM-K500UM

Android Version: 11

Baseband Version: MOLY.LR12A.R3.TC01.DH.SP.V1.P55.T6

Build #: RKQ1.210420.001

Software version: K500U30K

Firmware comes up as:

Model: LMK500UM

Region: BMU

Suffix: ABMU0P

Android Recovery shows:

lge/mdh301m

11/RKQ1.210420.001/6765110221201

I was hoping to maybe be able to flash it using Verizon firmware.

Thank you for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] qwertyuiop1289:
Flash unbranded firmware, perhaps from here:

LG K51 all phones of the series with a detailed description of each model, links to the official archive of firmware, reviews and feedbacks.

The last two letters of the model name do not matter, e.g. K500QM is the same as K500UM, etc.

[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] haxnoob:
Step 1: Unlock your bootloader using either Harry@007's instructions on XDA or the instructions video from TechnoliRama on YouTube.

Step 2: Go to EDL mode on your Phone then open QFIL and go to Tools > Partition Manager (Make sure to use the Firehose ELF file, have Storage Type set to UFS, and Build Type set to Flat Build)

Step 3: Find "boot_a" and "boot_b" and backup them both incase something goes wrong then rename them both to their actual names then exit out of QFIL and reboot your Phone.

Step 4: Transfer boot_a to your Phone and install the Magisk app (If you haven't already).

Step 5: Open the Magisk app go to Install (Magisk Section/Part) > Options/Next > Select and Patch a File, then select the boot_a BIN file and press/click on LET'S GO.

Step 6: After Magisk is done patching your boot_a file, transfer your patched Magisk IMG file to your Computer and reboot your Phone back to EDL mode.

Step 7: Open QFIL and go to Partition Manager. (Make sure again you are using the Firehose ELF file and your Storage Type is set to UFS and Build Type set to Flat Build)

Step 8: Find boot_a and boot_b and load image/flash the patched Magisk IMG file to them both.

Step 9: Exit out of QFIL and reboot your Phone and check if everything works.

Step 10: If everything works, then congratulations you now have an unlocked bootloader and rooted Phone!

I am NOT responsible if you accidentally brick your Phone, this is my first time making instructions and stuff, and please do this at your own risk.

This has been tested on the LG G8X ThinQ (LM-G850UM) Canadian model and my Phone was using 40c firmware and Android 12.

Requirements: Android 12, 40c Firmware, Whatever needed from one or both of the Instructions including Fastboot drivers, and most importantly a Brain.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] fakhar_nadeem:
I have a galaxy s10+ and i rooted it and installed a custom rom and did a few changes. The question is that, will those changes and the custom rom stay/retain after i unroot my phone? i used Magisk app if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
It depends on what kind of changes. File changes remain, but you'll lose permissions for applications and services that required a permanent root presence.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] fakhar_nadeem:
I actually changed my phone's imei number. But a few days ago somehow my phone automatically got unrooted, i even tested it with root checkers and also Magisk says not rooted too.

But the thing is that the imei is not changed and is working fine.

For that reason, i haven't let the phone die or restart it since then because im scared that something might go wrong i.e. Changes get reverted, boot loop and etc.

Someone else did the root and imei change for which is why i dont really know much about this stuff. Any help will be appreciated 🙏

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] BrandonAKG:
Hi guys, so I wanted to sell this tablet and I thought it would be easier to just Hard Reset it and then go by the usual initial configuration. The thing is, my account it's not working.

The tablet has my little girl's account and it was family linked to mine, but none of the two accounts does it.

I've tried some tutorials to bypass this but they just doesn't work, *#0#* doesn't show anything, I can't install APK's even with SmartSwitch, Configurations just random says "Stopped Working" and so on.

Did someone ever encounter something like this? I done the FRP thing once when my mom forgot her account password but it was pretty easy.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
Sorry, but FRP is no longer "easy to bypass". If the google account is one of a family account, you might be able to use the password manager in Chrome to find the account login and password.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Watchwolf:
Hello,

I am hacking a Chinese GPS based on Android 4.4.

I decompile system.img, remove Chinese's apps and add my apps.

I can connect to the network and get the GPS signal. My problem is that I only get the GPS signal (GPS_PROVIDER) and not the NETWORK_PROVIDER. The major consequence is that the device does'nt get location inside and I wish to have it.

I have made a lot of work since many days.

1/

To fix this I have :

- Install UnifiedNlp.apk in priv-app

- Install NominatimGeocoderBackend.apk / org.openbmap_27.apk / IchnaeaNlpBackend.apk

- Add the file system/etc/microg.xml

- I have updated framework_res with theses changes, using the overlay wasn't working, so I have update the framework directly (decompile and recompile with signature).

Now

I'm not sure UnifiedNlp.apk is working but if I remove it, I lose NETWORK_PROVIDER :)

2/

Everything should be perfect but no, still no location inside.

Currently I use this code to get location :

When I get a location I check the provider, it's always "gps" and inside I have no location.

With FUSED I get nothing, event outside.

logcat loop with GPS data, it look like it's ok but I'm not sure.

To avoid the error "XTRA ..." I have added the file system/etc/gps.conf

I have no more ideas, I think the rom is hacked and something is working differently from classic rom :/

Do you know how I can check if UnifiedNlp.apk do his work ? I think maybe the apk is installed but the modules are not loaded, consequently I have no NETWORK_PROVIDER location.

If you have an idea to help me, big thank you :)

[General Questions and Answers] zeuses23:
Hi all!

Long story short, basically my OnePlus Nord gen 1 is bricked (no recovery, no ROM). In the current state all it is able to do is boot into the bootloader. The bootloader gives several 'options' such as "boot to recovery", and more importantly, "power off". But no matter what option I choose, the phone ends up rebooting back into the bootloader.

I've tried to follow guides on XDA instructing how to unbrick the device, to no avail. The main guide I'm trying to follow is the MSMdownloadTool guide, but that requires me to power off the device to enter EDL mode (which it isn't doing).

The device seems to be stuck in fast boot mode, but isn't using fastbootd so I can't make changes to critical partitions. Since it is stuck in fastboot mode, adb commands don't work. I've tried reflashing the recovery, but that didn't work. I've tried clearing cache but there I'm running into 'cannot generate userdata' (fastboot erase cache spat out "failed; check device logs").

As for hardware buttons, using volume down + volume up or even volume down+power does nothing, volume up + power button or holding all 3 just restarts the bootloader, and holding just the power button does nothing except for repeatedly select "start"(causing it to reboot back into bootloader).

I feel if I can just get it into EDL mode somehow, everything else will fall into place. Any help at all will be much appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You might be able to enter EDL mode by opening the device and using a jumper to touch certain contact points on the board and force it into EDL mode. I don't know your hardware so I don't know which points to tell you to use the jumper on, you'll have to do some research to figure that out based on the specific device you have.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
unrelated. you can flash super.img from fastboot. flashing critical partitions maybe needs unlocking.
[General Questions and Answers] innergat:
Hello if this can help my device was dead , not even fastboot or recovery was working and was bootlooping. What i did is installing MTK authentication bypass ( i dont know if your phone is mtk cpu ) , then i instaled libUsb driver that came packed with that tool.

Then you open libusb driver installer, and when you keep pressed power + vol down to enter Brom mode, it should detect a com port that disappear in few seconds, what u need to do is click install driver as soon you see that com port appear.

Now you open the bypass tool with phone disconnected, click on bypass, and then connect the cable, now enter Brom mode with power + vol down, and the tool will say Success.

Now your phone is ready to use with any flash tool ,like sptools.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] zeuses23:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! But i would very much prefer not to open up my device. I've also heard that there is an EDL cable, but I don't know if that'll work either. Lets see :)

Thanks for your reply! A silly question, but what does super.img do? I tried flashing the critical partitions after running "fastboot oem unlock_critical", but that still gave me the error.

Hey innergat, unfortunately I believe my phone has a qualcomm chipset, so this probably won't work 😞
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
Dynamic partitions are logical partitions hosted in physical super partition. logical partitions can only be accessed from fastbootd, physical partitions from fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] TheNewHEROBRINE:
To enter EDL mode try selecting power off and then immediately hold volume up + volume down.
