[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipuyanoo:
My only prior experience with rooting was on my Switch with LineageOS, so having a "real" device to mess around with seems like loads of fun. I do notice, though, that Samsung seems to enjoy making this painful. So this noob shall ask questions lol.

- Odin? Is there seriously no way to use fastboot on this thing? And if there isn't, what should I do? I'm a Linux user (no I will not say GNU/Linux) so if Odin is really Windoze only what do I do?

- Is Magisk still the recommendation for rooting?

- If so, can I flash using TWRP as per usual or do I need to replace boot images? And if I need to replace boot images, how do I dump one? All of the posts for getting the boot image I've found assume fastboot is a given.

- How exactly do I flash TWRP? Can I boot it over cable with the image file like with a regular phone?

- I read that the S6 has dm-verity, meaning I'll need a custom kernel? Where do I get that, and how (and when) do I install it?

- Can I relock afterwards? Doubtful but it would be nice.

- What's your ROM recommendation? Something A10+ please.

- Is Substratum still a thing people use? It looks cool so I think I might use it.

[Google Pixel 7] Fennec23:
Im not impressed at all by my Pixel since Black Friday. I actually received a S21 at work and its WAYYYYY better.

Anyway, a lot of BS feathures are problematic. I feel like Im being spied all the time by google rather than owning a phone.

I want for example to get rid of the google lens icon and the google bar.

Is there any way to do that?
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
Congrats on buying the Google phone then.

If you want to deactivate system apps enable developer settings, enable ADB, connect your phone to your PC and disable Google Lens and Google Search system apps / packages using Universal Android Debloater GUI and maybe other googly bloat.

Want to have more privacy? Learn about flashing your phone, unlock the bootloader, flash Graphene OS, Calyx OS, Lineage OS or something like that.

Maybe root your device and block trackers and stuff using Adaway. Or stay unrooted and use something like personalDNSfilter.
[Google Pixel 7] kidD9494:
Maybe selling it is a good choice for you
[Google Pixel 7] 96carboard:
All of that spyware crap is preinstalled on ALL android phones, not just pixel. They're a bit more in your face on pixel maybe though, since gooble is showcasing it there.

My recommendation would be to switch to grapheneOS. If you absolutely MUST use proprietary gooble bits, grapheneos implements a unique compatibility layer to cause it all to run as a conventional user-installed application instead of demanding excessive permissions.

I may be wrong but i beleive you cannot overclock this chip any further, it already comes overclocked from the factory, it's an overclocked sd690 (with some additional stuff too), underclocking is possible with kernel managers and no it doesn't seem likely that the device will get kernel sources

Samsung says the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s wrinkled screen isn’t a defect

Does your S23 Ultra’s screen have a bubble in the bottom corner?

www.androidpolice.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
If you look at the history of curved screens, almost every model has batches that develop green or pink vertical lines of pixels where the screen pinches the ribbon cable. My concern is that the wrinkle, which is essentially the screen folded into the curve, will eventually cause pressure or uneven wear.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rcklss1:
Mine definitely does not have that
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Since when is the cable located right there on the side? Also it's not just curved screens, it's OLED panels in general. OnePlus 9 has a flat screen and a ton of reports of it happening.

If EDL working, you can flash some firmware via RSA or QFIL.

You have some problem with /data partition, stock recovery can't fix it.

Go to my post: https://xdaforums.com/t/tb-j716f-twrp-for-android-12-zui-14.4523577/

Download latest twrp.

Turn tablet into fastboot mode.

On PC run command:

fastboot flash recovery TWRP_J716F_A12_DD. img

then

fastboot reboot recovery

You need format data from TWRP.

Wipe - Format data - type "yes".

PS. If your had flashed A11 firmware - you need TWRP for A11 - take it in this topic^ https://xdaforums.com/t/tb-j716f-latest-twrps-for-a11-and-a12.4533223/

I installed twrp as you instructed, but in the last code the tablet does not restart, it gives this message "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot reboot recovery

fastboot: usage: recovery from unknown reboot destination"

Another thing I noticed that the tablet serial has changed, it is no longer with the serial that came with the tablet
[Lenovo P11] f1tm0t:
Show me screenshot with "fastboot reboot" command execution.

Tablet's s/n - is not my deal, nothing about s/n changing in my instructions.

SN can be changed only with replacing fpinfo partition inside the tablet or restoring of twrp backup, taken from other tablet.

You can reboot from fastboot mode to recovery(TWRP) mode by tablet's buttons.

Volume buttons are choice, Power button is confirming.

Meu amigo, vou descrever o que fiz com o tablet desde que ele chegou.

1. quando o tablet chegou vi que estava em L3 e sem pesquisar nada tentei bloquear o boot, e fiz isso mas não sabia que iria brickar o aparelho.

2. depois de pesquisar vi que tinha um método HAHAHAHA e tentei muito resolver, depois de muito tempo tentando consegui, mas quando usei o qfil a imagem rodou mas foi para onde diz que está corrompida

3. Até então não tinha conseguido instalar o TWRP e com sua orientação consegui instalar o twrp, baixei o roons via OTA e renomeei para update.zip

4. Tentei o wipe conforme instruído, mas deu alguns erros como podem ver na imagem, mas a instalação foi um sucesso até o reset do tablet ficou em loop infinito, tentei as duas versões OTA e todas estavam em um Loop infinito

5. Agora quando tento instalar novamente o twrp não consigo mais, o comando para reiniciar o aparelho não funciona, como podem ver na imagem.

6. Usando outro tutorial aqui do fórum consegui retornar o serial válido, porém sem sucesso no qfil

[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] SpudT:
Hi Everyone,

I have a 4 year old Nokia 7.1 that was working fine a week ago with Android 10.

I accidentally let the battery drain out, phone would not turn on - no Android, no download mode, nothing on the screen however I turn it on - power/volume up/down, etc

I have replaced the battery with a brand new one (very carefully).

New to Android flashing but...

On attaching to PC I get HS-USB Diagnostics 9008 device. I have QFIL, QPST, firmware, firehose programmer for SDM636, etc.

I have shorted pins 3,4 internally, rebooted phone, battery in, battery out. Whatever I do it won't enter EDL mode to try reflashing.

QFIL always says - Switch to EDL Fail Failed to Switch to Emergency Download Mode.

Tried Linux with sahara, etc and phone is visable, but again no respose - can't enter EDL mode.

I have a feeling the hardware may be fried anyway

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas? Do HMD block EDL?

I think its a lost cause...

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] OoLoLo:
Hi guys,

Got my Xperia recently on Vodafone UK network. Had problems with Wifi connection as it wouldnt connect to my home local wireless network although all security keys were right. So decided to flash it to the generic UK ROM...did so and everything else is working just the way it is...but the WiFi problem still exists. I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I can see my network, can click connect and it prompts for my network key...I've put the correct one in and it scans for a little while and then a message 'unable to connect to network, please check your network or service provider settings.'

Any idea? This phone seems like a total waste of time and money if I dont make use of it connectivity to the max! Please please please advise!
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:

well.. I would first try to disable any security to make sure your router and the phone can talk first....

now I have just got my phone 2 days ago and since then I have been using wifi all day long....

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Luan2873:
I've unlocked my device some weeks ago, but I recently reinstalled the stock ROM and it doesn't accept magisk without give me a bootloop, so I decided to keep it originally locking the bootloader using stock ROM. But when I type

fastboot oem lock

, it says that I got to enable "OEM unlocking", and I can't do it, the button still in gray and it says "bootloader is already unlocked".

How can I fix it???
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Galoso:
You can do flashing lock command, but I DO NOT advise you to go for this path, because it locks flashes (send a stock rom, as example) and you maybe got a way more headache.

You can try: flash a new stock rom to see if you can relock again, or use a newer fastboot from platform tools Google
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] sdflowers32:
Does the Motorola rescue tool not work for this device. I've only owned one Motorola device and had a lot of trouble with it. The device would already be OEM unlocked and soft bricked but when in the bootloader interface it would display that it wasn't unlocked. I had to find a blankflash file for it and convert the file to a windows batch file using a tool you can easily find online. The command may be different but you can find all the oem commands with fastboot oem help. Actually I don't even think it displayed the command but I figured it out from trial and error. Anyways fastboot oem blankflash rebooted the phone into what seems to be equivalent to edl mode. Once there just click the bat file created and it's as simple as flashing a Pixel used to be.

I'm not sure if this will help or not but it got me out of a few jams when the rescue tool couldn't even recognize my device.

Another thing, my phone also would bootloop flashing a patched boot.img so if there's a TWRP recovery available just boot the recovery (Don't flash it) and flash Magisk in recovery via an external drive or sideload it with ADB. You'll have to flash it directly again from within the app once it boots but at least on my device it did work. I think it may have something to do with Motorola uboot but I'm not certain.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] RaZoR No1:
Hi all,

On my S23 I have a strange issue..

I have a single black pixel in the middle of the screen, when I look at white colored background / pictures.

What is strange about it?

It is not a hardware failure but has something to do with software, because I can see it on screenshots and move it...

Even stranger: When I change / lower the resolution with Galaxy MaxHz the black pixel gets bigger.

What is that and how can I remove it?

It is definitely not dust or a dead pixel, it is a software issue.

At first I saw it while gaming.

A restart fixes it, but comes back after gaming.

See attached picture...

What can cause a black pixel like this??

Edit: So far it looks like RegiStar was running as backgroung process and caused it.

Closing it via recents apps removed the Pixel...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] goTouch:
You can't take a screenshot of dead pixels.

But if it is bothering you, it means you have a fault unit.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Arealhooman:
Factory reset.

It was caused by RegiStar and the Backtapping function.

[Fire TV Android Development] Rortiz2:
There's no hardware method available for sheldon, as discussed in various forums and posts. Bootrom mode has been permanently disabled by blowing fuses, making it irreversible. Additionally, attempting to short random pins is risky. I recently damaged my Amazon Fire HD6 by doing just that. As I've mentioned in other discussions, this approach is akin to playing the lottery; it's more likely to cause damage.​
