[General Questions and Answers] v5HMeca:
Some guy on another forum was asking me for help on customizing an AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser to you international folks) he just bought. This was my explanation. If it's not too much trouble, I would like for you experts to peruse it and tell me if it I got it all right.

Here is what I wrote to him:

Everything about customizing it can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378

If you want to flash a ROM, start by reading this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433835

I'll spell out the process a little bit, though, so it's easier to grasp. First and foremost, there is a ROM. The ROM is basically an amalgam of other components. The three important ones are: SPL (I'll get to that), OS (yes, operating system), and Radio (tells your phone how to connect to networks). Now, when you first turn on your phone, there is a thing called an IPL (initial program loader) that checks to see that everything is in order on the hardware end (if you know computers, think of it as POST). After that, it passes control of the phone to the SPL (secondary program loader), which verifies that your ROM and OS is not corrupted, accepts triggers for other commands, and then loads and passes control of the machine to the OS.

The key is to tell the SPL that your ROM is not corrupted and that it is OK to load it. Obviously a legitimate ROM by AT&T or HTC will do the trick, but suppose you want one of the fancy ROMs out there, you'll have to trick the SPL a bit. There are two ways of doing this: (1) HardSPL and (2) SoftSPL.

A HardSPL is a "permanent" solution. It replaces your SPL; it's basically a cracked version of your SPL that removes the integrity checks that would normally be done. It's referred to as a permanent solution because it will not undo itself, nor can it be undone even if you flash a stock ROM (by AT&T or HTC), but there are ways of reverting back to the original SPL if necessary (I made this package that contains everything necessary, including instructions, on how to do this).

A SoftSPL (AKA SSPL, USPL - UpdateSPL, JSPL - JumpSPL ... all the same thing as far as I know) is a temporary solution that is basically done for the purpose of loading HardSPLs, but you can flash ROMs with it as well (this is generally not recommended, though). It's a standalone EXE file that you will load onto your phone. When executed, it will unload your OS, and load up a cracked SPL. This will allow you to flash an illegitimate ROM to your phone, namely a ROM that replaces your SPL with a cracked one.

After that, you're golden. You can SIM unlock your phone (if that hasn't been done already) if you want. You can SuperCID it (CID is Country ID; a SuperCID is tantamount to using a "region 0" DVD player), but that's not necessary for you, personally; only useful if you sell to someone overseas. You can start flashing custom ROMs that are pieced together by the fine folks at that forum I linked above.

In short:

1. Transfer SoftSPL to phone.

2. Run SoftSPL.

3. Flash HardSPL.

4. Flash custom ROM.​

Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
you could have given a simple answer

jk lol, you listed the step very well :)
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
Its good to see you did so research already :) i just have a few "corrections" per say......

The spl just tells the phone that if there is a bad flash it needs to revert to the boot loader (basically what you said, but i made it a little simpler to understand for those reading)

jump spl is if you have a problem (such as the kaiser white screen issue) to jump start the spl flash

soft spl only protects the until you flash a new rom (kind of like a disposable hard spl)

Hard spl is permanent as stated

use this link to find out how to flash your first rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433835

(this is the same as the second link you provided)

the link other link you provided is only for the kaiser rom section (therefore not everything there will work for every phone)

"In short" :) ,

You really only need to hard spl before flashing a rom (unless you prefer soft spl, or have problems flashing and need jump spl)

Hello,

There are currently cheap 9 Pros on Aliexpress, but they are Global versions LE2127.

I've searched the forum and found a thread to convert a LE2127 to LE2125 EU. Is there such a guide for converting to Global instead?

I intend to stay on Android 11 using the Jaguar rom.

Thanks
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
Le2127 is not global this the t-mobil devices

Le2125 is usa

And le2123 is eu

Le2121 is india

And you can flash what ever you will

India build, global build eu build or us build

You can flash Other build over fastbootd
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phillis:
I think I found the solution after some digging:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tmo-9-pro-modem-retention-data-fix.4292445/

If anyone can confirm, that would be great! Thanks!

This is why I was asking. Just read some horror stories about flashing and somehow losing connectivity because of the modem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
You can use the conversion tool to go to Eu and flash the modem back in and stay connected fine. Or you can flash global.

They're not real horror stories because we have msm tool available and can (almost) always get back to working devices with that. I stay on oos11 EU and flashed the modem back in, everything works. I do have a modem crash issue when I get download speeds over 500mbps on 5G but I rarely use 5G anyway.

Since you're going custom rom, it may depend on what it was built on, whether or not you would need to flash modem back in. Regardless of that possibility, it is fixable and do-over-able
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phillis:
Thanks for the reply!

Didn't the modem have unique information that if overwritten would render it useless?

From what I've read, I'll need to contact OnePlus to unlock the bootloader of that phone, even though it's coming direct from China with a Global (non TMO) rom.

Once I get clarification on that I shall jump ship and order it!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phillis:
Reply from seller:

Thanks for your message. It is LE2127,hope you could understand. If there is any other question , feel free to contact us. Wish you have a sweet day. Best wishes, Inma

Dear customer, Thanks for your message. the phone comes with OxygenOS based on Android 11. and no need to contact oneplus to unlock bootloader any other question, feel free to contact us.

Is it possible an LE2127 not require contacting OnePlus for unlocking the bootloader?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Phillis:
Wow..thank you for the detailed response!

You are correct that they are already on Global!

I found a deal too good to be true yesterday on Ebay: 9 Pro brand new Global version US Version for 175$USD. I pulled the trigger without thinking. That one might be a LE2127. Seller has decent feedback so who knows:

Before that happened, I also contacted the 3 sellers on Aliexpress that are selling some 9 Pros.: OPPO store, OnePlusStore and HWMall. The first 2 said they only have LE2127, which is why I had asked here.

The third one replied yesterday evening and confirmed he has LE2125s. Pulled the trigger on that one too (in case ebay is a scam).

Let's see what ends up in my hands!

Thanks again, I am now less worried about getting a LE2127 if that ends up being the case :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Keep searching it is there for the global.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] utilizedwill:
As i know, you can convert LE2127 to Global Version (LE2123). You need to take your phone EDL mode and flash the image from this link using MSM Tool. After successfully flashed, connect to internet your device and update until see LE2123 model in the settings.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Global is LE2125 for pro model, LE2123 is EU model

I was trying to flash a gsi but when I boot into twrp it just goes back to the booting screen again when I press anything, I tried reformatting in wipe before it went back to booting but after that it's even worse. I went into odin and reflashed twrp but same thing. I flashed its firmware from samfx but one ui doesn't even want to boot, it just shows an endless charging logo. The only thing I can boot to currently is the default recovery and download mode. I really need help quick because I need to do some work on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] V0latyle:
When you install a GSI, the only partitions you should be messing with are /system and /data.

Did you mess with anything else?

Use Odin to perform a clean flash of the firmware, including a data wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] iintc:
No I don't think I messed with anything else. Also flashing stock firmware again works somehow even though I already tried flashing it before, anyhow, I greatly appreciate your help

PS still not sure what caused twrp to bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] coocooguy246:
Hello! So I am on a journey to attempt to root a Samsung tab a7 lite sm-t227u. So I want to be extremely transparent as to my reason for rooting:

I was given this tablet by my father whom got it from a previous job. When he left the job they never asked for it back, a long with a good bit of supplies he had that he got to keep.

So, I have this tablet, I can get into it as it doesn't have a passcode. I have wiped it by factory reset as well. However, it has IBM's MAAS360 installed and after factory reset AND a firmware flash using odin I still cannot get rid of this maas360 mdm. It is not Knox locked. I can activate developer mode and change all those settings, but I cannot download any apps through the app store at all or enable unknown source app install as those are under an IT block. I also do not have the OEM unlock option in dev options. I've tried the whole changing the date and connecting to wifi, with and without sim card but I cannot get this option to show, nor can I unlock the bootload through fastboot.

I have read that most of the new samsung phones do not have a bootloader unlock option, but from what I can tell that is specific to the snapdragon phones, and this tablet is running a mediatek chip.

Now, if I can remove mdm restrictions without rooting that's great, but I have a feeling that is the only way to properly flash this thing to completely remove the mdm.

I have tried the recovery tar that is posted in this forum but I cannot get it to flash, likely because I still don't have an unlocked bootloader

Have any of you all faced something similar or know of a solution? I may call the company the mdm is managed by and just see if they will remove it from their system, but I find it highly unlikely.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Zillion:
SM-T227U is an American model wich doesn't have the OEM unlocking option, you could unlock using unofficial ways but those are not pretty "stable".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] evan5935:
Hey man! Still got your tab 7? I also have a SM-T227U and have oem unlocked! After doing the usual stuff, you will want to turn off automatically update in developer settings. After that, go to settings>General management>Date and time and select manual time and date, and set it for exactly 10 days before the day you attempt this. OEM unlock will appear in dev settings!!!

Then turn off device and while holding power up + power down, plug into PC. It will show the pre-download mode screen where it asks if you want to continue. Just follow the on screen instructions to unlock bootloader!

*note that the bootloader unlocking results in an unavoidable factory reset**
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] coocooguy246:
Sweet! I will absolutely try this when I get home this afternoon, will report back with results!

But just for clarity. Let's say I start with a freshly wiped tablet. Go through set up and connect to wifi, do I need to add a Google and Samsung account? Then in dev settings, enable USB debugging, also enable wifi debugging? Then change the date. Is there any step I am missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
If it has Mediatek chipset then you can use SP flash tool to format the tablet firmware and reflash it.

I would strongly recommend you to backup the NV DATA and NVRAM files before you format the tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] evan5935:
You can follow this guide actually! ( https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-ho...220-t225-install-lsposed-magisk-mods.4406933/) it recommends just skipping the setup junk

I have found that many times, rooting methods work across different models of the same device unless there are some sort of major differences in chipsets or some sort of random change lol

The only thing that doesn't seem to work for our model is section V of the guide which is for the removal of the "bootloader is unlocked" screen at startup. so you will still need to press the power button on that screen to boot up. It's a tiny hassle, but otherwise no big deal in my personal opinion 🤷‍♂️

Make sure to read all the way to the end of the root section (section 4) and especially remember step 7. I retried probably 4 times and even patched the entire AP file of the firmware for use in odin (doing this gives a second warning on Knox screen that it isn't samsung official fw then boots normally into the bootlogo screen) before realizing everything was going fine.. I recommend just using the patched Magisk boot.img first just because I find it unsightly 😂

Just flash the boot.tar in the AP slot. Don't download any of the boot imgs from the guide because they are for the t220's and t225's. I'll link the one I made according to the guide below. It'll save you some time and you won't need to install zarchiver and Magick just to have it factory reset again lol. Just download the latest Magisk apk (26.1) from the official github (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases) and install it when you have completed the 2nd factory reset/the patched boot img install.

Were you able to successfully disable or remove the IBM MaaS360 mdm?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] satam55:
Will formatting & flashing via SP flash tool instead of Odin successfully the IBM MaaS360 mdm?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
No ODIN flash will not remove MDM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] satam55:
Will SP flash tool remove or disable IBM MaaS360 mdm?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
No, you need to unlock bootloader first.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] satam55:
After I unlock the bootloader, will I have to root?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
Its upto your usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] satam55:
Well my goal is just to remove or disable the IBM MaaS360 mdm. Will I have to root the device after unlocking the bootloader to remove/disable the IBM MaaS360 mdm?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
Yes but unlocking bootloader will disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] satam55:
OK. What about down the line later on I want to relock the bootloader... will the MDM stay disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] mvikrant97:
no mdm will trigger again.
[Android Head-Units] Vertigorg:
Hi forum, First of I wanna apologize if this is the 1000th post about this topic. I've been spending literally weeks on the search for the perfect android head unit for my car. I've read and post questions on many forums but yet made up my mind. I'm planning this upgrade as part of a larger upgrade to the sound system in my car to improve the overall driving experience.

I've found this post on 4pda with tons of information (however in russian) and I thought I'd go for either Junsun/Teyes but after reading this thread I'm left confused.

Junsun v1 pro ,Teyes CC3, KJCC NAVI, JMCQ, SRNUBI, SOARCOMER are the brands that seem to offer a system that matches my car (Subaru Impreza 2014, actually looking for Subaru Forester 2014 matches the same trim)

1. I want a modern UI with a nice screen that I can see through the daytime

2. I want best specs I can get for the price regarding the user-experience and the sound quality

3. I prefer a device the community has experience with and will not run to issues like overheating etcetera.

I've madeup a list of

CPU: What is considered the best CPU model on the market for FYT ? Is it the UIS7862 ?

ROM: The design and feel of the device is important to me (teyes/junsun v3 seem like good options here..)

CARPLAY: Must have wireless carplay

SCREEN: 720p IPS, (Does 2k QLED really exist or are they fake?)

RAM: 4/6/8 GB

SOUND: Good sound chip, external mic support, and RCA output for my amplifier

Please, help me choose between all of these options!

Also, after receiving the product are there any recommended actions I should take such as updating the firmware and/or running a check to verify the hardware parts?

...is it possible?

Would like to add a few things (Like toggle wifi/bluetooth/ringer, copy, paste,...) by using "FN+..."
[XPERIA X1 General] thinhvo:
That would be a great mod. Coming from the TP, I love its keyboard layout. Ample shortcuts. It would be nice if the X1 to have assigned shortcuts.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
you can install tools like AE button to create hardware key shortcuts
[XPERIA X1 General] ElectricAndi:
AeButton can't handle kombinations like "FN+..." And when set a key to toggle ringer/vibrate AEButton shows a Popup.

I want a quite solution, so AEButton is not what I'm lokking for.
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Is AE Button like PQIIz? Great tool to use, but it seems to miss every now and then, and WinMo goes crazy.

Gives me the feeling that PQIIz runs in the background capturing the keyboard RPC calls before they hit the OS.. which isn't ideal.

I'd also like to edit the Keyboard driver directly, or..is there a way to modify the keyboard registry entries (that way skipping messy driver dll edits?)

Are there reg keys for each keyboard key?
[XPERIA X1 General] mcwtrekkie:
Also a (minor) gripe with the X1, I love it, but the keyboard isn't quite as good as I first thought. The keys have very little travel and they're perhaps a little on the small size considering the size of the device. Plus, no shortcuts. None AT ALL :(((
[XPERIA X1 General] derliebewolf:
Never heard of the concept of 3rd Party apps? Have you ever bought a PC/Laptop and did use it without any Third Party App, only by editing registry tweaks???
[XPERIA X1 General] mcwtrekkie:
@derliebewolf - Never heard of reading other peoples messages? Calvin H discussed 3rd party apps and didn't like them, The result? - This thread
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Chuckle :)

Yeah. Just wondering if there is a solution, rather than 3rd party apps which have been tried and dusted.

This is especially true for key combinations which do not have a setting, e.g. FN+A; FN+S, FN+D, etc. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] mcwtrekkie:
I find it quite strange that it doesn't to be honest. After all, the Tytn, Tilt, and Touch Pro all had them. Hopefully somone will find a way around this!
[XPERIA X1 General] ElectricAndi:
There aren't any registry keys for the keyboard-keys. I checked it.

Everything in in the driver-libary. I know which dll it is, and I know the key-code for every hardware-key, but then my skills end.

And I spose it's not as simple as taking one of those dlls. What we really need is an engineer of sorts.. reverse engineering is not an option..

how to recover my precious data

?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dandudikof:
Old phones were easy to just get a spare devices and just unscrew and swap things .

Not so much with new ones , but doable with some tinkering.

But you should provide a bit more detail on phone model, OS it was running etc...

To give people more ideas about your options.

Like if screen does not show a picture , but touch still works , you could be guided

with steps to enable adb shell or something like usb file sharing mode.

or if OS version has recovery enabled with adb access or just blind click a seqence

to backup to external flash etc..... .

But provide more info before people can respond with options !!!

How I do this

google 'OnePlus 5 recovery'

(power and volume down button)

from what i see in the images it seems to have adb options , not sure

if it is a full adb access. I have no oneplus phones.

But watch the videos , you might be able to follow the sequence of button pushes

to enable it if it is not enable on just booting to recovery mode.

(ussualy vol up down and power for select)

Sorry i cannot help further as i have no knowledge of oneplus .

But once you get adb access you are set, even without root. you

should be able to download your internal storage and data partitions.
