[Samsung Galaxy S23] techie333:
Ok good to know, thanks. Would it get OTA updates on the unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] webhook:
To my knowledge I think it gets OTA updates faster. (U1)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] entropism:
U1 doesn't get updates faster. In the US it generally gets updated randomly. Could be first, could be last, could be halfway through the 3 major carriers.

You will, however, get OTA updates from whichever version you flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] techie333:
That's what I thought, which is why I wanted to flash TMB especially since I was thinking about giving it to a relative later.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] techie333:
Well this is bizarre or is it. Don't have too much experience with this stuff. I got the software update and now the spectrum (CHA) firmware version matches the T-mobile (TMB) which is S911USQU1AWC8 but when I stick my T-mobile SIM in, the bootup logo and branding doesn't change to T-mobile and is still all Spectrum. Tried a reset with the T-mobile SIM still in and it still doesn't change. Is there a way to force this change?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] entropism:
You need to flash the unlocked U1 firmware FIRST, then flash the T-Mobile version.

If your device is a Docomo variant, if memory serves me well you cannot install the regular Lineage ROM on it. Check again in the corresponding thread for specific instructions or details

[General Questions and Answers] Xnielboss:
Hi! can someone help me root a samsung SM-A215U phone please?
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Without unlocking the bootloader, there is no chance to root.
[General Questions and Answers] Xnielboss:
but i can't unlock the bootloader can you help me please?
[General Questions and Answers] Qwerty_in_me:
not really no, unless it's running on a Mediatek SoC (I doubt it and can't be bothered to check)

or there's a serious vulnerability overlooked by the Android devs in both Samsung and Google, you're out of luck

unless of course there's an exploit in the BROM of the SoC, but at this point you're all out of luck since I doubt you'd be able to avoid a softbrick at best and a hardbrick most likely

also I think you CAN unlock the bootloader (OEM unlocking under DevOpts) by giving all your personal data to samsung and google over the span of a week: login to your google and samsung accounts, have a simcard in at all times and be connected to a single wifi accesspoint so that Samsung is absolutely sure of who and where you are
[General Questions and Answers] Xnielboss:
Ok thanks sir
[General Questions and Answers] Xnielboss:
thank you sir! it means no way to root my samsung a21. because unlock tool does not work on him.
[General Questions and Answers] Qwerty_in_me:
well... I don't know of any BROM exploits for the Exynos chipset and if you don't want to give away your personal data to Samsung and Google, you probably don't have a way to root your device
[General Questions and Answers] Xnielboss:
can you send me the link for DevOpts please?
[General Questions and Answers] Qwerty_in_me:
DevOpts is shorthand for Developer Options, on anything past kitkat you get to them by 7 taps on the device build model under device information (every OEM has it placed in a different place) and then going to the developer options screen in the settings (also different for OEMs)

a quick online search should provide you with detailed steps for your device

`enable developer settings for sm-a215u`

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the13bats:
I'm new here joined hoping to get clued in,

I have a new to me tab active 2 and it suits my needs and I like it but I am a bit confused over a lot of different information I run into,

In my case I'm using a tello sim for service which is good for my area and the sim came with a phone number I assumed from online reading i could make calls and use the tab for text but it would seem I can not tello said my device doesn't support voLTE so I hope some of you gurus can tell me what I can and can't do with this tab call and text wise perhaps suggests apps,

I do not make many actual calls so in most cases I can use Facebook messenger call feature if it's a friend but what about that once in a while I need to call a restaurant or car parts store etc I'm I simply out of luck making such calls on this device?

And so does that also rule out text messages, for example if i wanted to use that tello number so a craigslist buyer seller could hit me is that out of the question too on this device?

Many thanks,

Bats

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Hyweljh:
Hi,

I’ve Just bought a Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth dog tag, I’m slightly concerned about the media keys on the dog tag as I want them to work with my phone and also want to play music through the device, The dog tag has A2DP and I’m unsure if the TyTn ii has this so could someone inform me if this dog tag Bluetooth headset will work properly, I will also need a program that forwards music through Bluetooth properly and at the max quality and not just put all the audio through to the headset due to problems with Microsoft voice commander, The reason I say this is because whenever I press the key iv assigned to it the starts to put the audio through the speakers and I have to reload the program.

Any help would be excellent.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] veli4567:
Greetings everyone, I've been using my device for about four months now on a stock firmware and lately got bored of the Oxygen OS so I've decided to give custom roms a try, I opened the developer settings, went for the oem unlock, enabled it, got debugging enabled also, went to fastboot mode and tried both fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock with no luck. It asks me for an unlock token. I know for a fact I'm not on a TMO software, I'm running LE2123 with a locked bootloader and I've never touched firmware or never converted my phone from a certain software version. I've filled a form on the oneplus' token unlock website and now waiting for an unlock.bin.

My question is how even the seller I got the phone from converted TMO to LE2123 without an unlocked bootloader? How am I unable to unlock my bootloader on a EU firmware and will there ever be a possible brick if I used the unlock bin on a LE2123 rather than a TMO 2127? Is there a way to convert an EU firmware to Global so that I'll have a chance unlock my bootloader?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
This same exact thing just happened to another guy. He found out his rear sticker was indeed showing LE2127. To my (our) knowledge, only the le2127 needs an unlock token and was the only carrier branded 9P at all. While you didn't change anything, it's likely the seller did before you purchased it. Check your back sticker.

You can convert Le2127 to Le2123 without unlocked bootloader using the Tmo->Eu conversion tool. You may need to run that same MSM tool (or a custom one for different targets) and bypass the token unlock.bin or wait for OnePlus reply with your unlock.bin. To further confuse this, I've read that the automated tool on OnePlus website is providing the wrong unlock.bin and people are using support email or support chat to get the right one.

It is possible to unlock the bootloader without the token, while on oos11, using the tmo->eu msm conversion tool

There's always potentials for bricks when flashing anything. Make appropriate backups of partitions with the msm tool.

And yes, it's possible to go from Eu to Global. But I think you should try to run the Tmo->Eu msm tool if you're looking to bypass the token. You may want to go back to stock Tmo using the regular Tmo msm tool first. If both the stock Tmo MSM tool and Tmo->Eu msm conversion tools don't work, you may need a custom MSM tool for target change but hopefully that's not required for this situation
[OnePlus 9 Pro] veli4567:
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I really did search the forum about the problem I'm running and couldn't find a solution, well should've looked deeper I guess. Will look into the article you mentioned.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] diptesh706:
Is there any kernel or Module which could remove the 18w power delivery limit? Nowadays, every phone has fast chargers of atleast 33W , some of them coming with a 67W charger in box and having a support upto 210W , so seeing all of these, my phone's 18W charger kinda sucks. I have seen Videos charging the phone with 100 watt chargers but this does'nt seem to support that, is there any way to unlock the charging speeds ??

(Alert: Please Don't Keep on spreading knowledge Thermals or any battery life issues, I have heard many of them and tbh I don't even care about those, so just tell me if I can increase my 18 watt charging capability to atleast 33 Watts)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
Point out the link to the factory battery specs and the phone's service manual, then maybe someone will be able to give you an answer as to whether removing the limit will burn the battery controller or something in the phone.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
The processor supports at least 30 watts, but also you need all the semi conductor are constructed this way, not all resides in the kernel though.

Here the solution given by mecool.

Thanks to them.

Hello, I'm sorry. The upgrade method is as follows:

1. Unzip the zip file "46Dmecool-update" and you will get the folder "46Dmecool-update".

2. Copy the "skyworth" folder and the "update" zip file from the "46Dmecool-update" folder to the root directory of your U disk .(Note: U disk format is FAT32).

3. Insert the USB flash drive into the OTG cable.

4. Plug the OTG cable into the KD3 and power it up.

5. Wait for the upgrade, the upgrade process will take some time, please wait patiently. Once the upgrade is complete, you can use it.

Here is the attached video and pictures of the operation. Have a nice life!

It's possible that your device has a corrupted userdata partition, and needs a factory reset.

Try the edit attached below, which should boot to the recovery menu, from which you can choose the option to factory reset the device.

Once extracted, the archive below should exist on the fat32 formated flash drive with this structure:

Mates,

I updated to WM6.1 (20757) recently and appreciate the work on that much.

Coming originally from a German WM6.0, I would like to make use of a German keyboard and a German XT9 (making SMS and email typing easier).

Everything else could stay in English.

I had contact with imgfs_tools briefly, but frankly it is still a secret to me.

Any hints how to switch the keyboard and XT9 to German language?

Many thanks in advance to this great community! :)

PS: A fully blown German WM6.1 ROM isn't needed.

Lol, Samsung seems to be emulating iPhone and vice versa. So don't think iPhone isn't aggressively mucking with the cam images too during processing.

This is some sort of digital processing induced anomaly rather than something like birefringence I think. Shoot in raw mode to see how deep the trouble goes.

Turn off HDR.

Or maybe it is an optical phenomenon...

also try varying the shutter speed.
