yeah it really depends on the quality of reballing to be honest. If they did a bad job from the getgo it always will be bad, and it sounds like the bga balls don't make perfect contact in your case so that they disconnect when the board flexes from slight heat changes (turning on or off).

If they did a good job then the only issue should be maybe heat dissipation and durability during falling, though even that can be limited.

Also I did found some bga underfill und aliexpress so maybe you can just fully fix it with that. It's called "

WYLIE WL-108 BGA IC Chip Glue CPU Underfill Adhesive For iPhone Nand Touch IC Hard Disk Repair Filler Glue Repair Tool "​

so you could just apply it yourself. The stuff gets automatically sucked under the two chips after soldering is done. (atleast if you look at the videos on how that stuff is applied)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Tsuragi:
Speaking of reballing, they finally delivered my poco x3 pro, which was supposed to be the pmic and then it was cpu reballing. the result? now it doesn't even turn on any lights and the battery is punctured, according to the technical service "the ram is missing contacts" what kind of response is that XD, well i didn't lose money..... at least I have a spare screen, don't trust him technical service even if the store seems of good quality.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tomas5123:
Wtf,

don't they normally inform you before doing anything other than what is requested? Also yeah it feels like reballing is really dependend on who does the repair.

If it is someone skilled than it should work without any issues (maybe more heat) :/

I wish I had super cheap defective X3 Pro, otherwise I would try my hand on reballing it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] suvambit:
Today I Will Share My Worst Experienced with my OnePlus 7 pro.

I bought OnePlus 7 pro in 2019. After 3 year use in 2022 it dead. I did reballing from nearest repair shop.

After 1 Year my mobile again dead, then I go nearest shop, they open my mobile's back, and get the motherboard, then where Ram and CPU locate there they used some fluid type thing then using heater heat that particular location, then fluid spread automatically between ram & CPU. Then they connect motherboard with the phone and also attach battery, then again it start from dead end.

After some months I got some crashes like stuck screen and auto reboot, then sometimes crashes then auto reboot, after some days it again dead. Not working while charging or press any button.

Again I go to the shop they again do some heat and some fluid in motherboard between ram & CPU, then again it start to work.

Is that problem not solve till now, may be after some months it will happen again with my op7pro. So give me suggestions if any permanent solution there. I want to buy motherboard any place where I can buy in Cheap price, because OnePlus care sell motherboard in high price.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] felixpaz1992:
My recommendation would be to look for a quality repair site, since many times those who do this procedure do not "level" the tin balls well and that makes one bigger or smaller than the others and here come the Gauls, who camera 1,2,3 etc. does not work and in addition to that after doing the rework because that is what that process is called they do not put epoxy resin under the ICs and also they do not usually put or use thermal pads so that the solder does not deform with intensive use of the Smartphone
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] danicadanicadanica:
2 years ago i reballed poco x3 pro and still its good i think it was permanently fixed and i dont see any symptoms in battery and daily usage cam and sensors were okay.. ig it depends on repair service it only cost me Php 2,000 ($40)..

Awesome Work!

All of your themes are brilliant, but I like this one the best! One problem though, on my vzw touch pro, the theme installs fine and all looks perfect EXCEPT landscape. I don't get any of the icons on the right, just a blank spot. I've tried several different wallpapers with the same results.

Any ideas how I can correct this??

Again, your work is appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zitoun:

Hello

Is there any custom rom for the a336b with no bugs? i'd really like to mod my phone bc oneui sucks ass.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] anirudhts:
If you have ONE UI 5.0 , not 5.1 or 4.1, you can install TWRP* and a lineage GSI. Guide, shoutout to Privacydroid.

P.S. The working TWRP is beneath his first post.*

P.S.S. Remember to only use it if you have One UI 5.0, I tried installing it on 5.1 and I got softbricked.

P.S.S.S. No offence, but I dont think youre allowed to swear on the xda forums.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] danny11111:
Thank you, is there any way I can downgrade OneUI 5.1 to 5.0?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] anirudhts:
Yes, so you have to unlock the bootloader, and then you got to this link. Choose the firmware with PDA .

A336BXXS4BWA1

I assume your CSC is EUX, if its not just change it. If you dont have the March patch you dont have to unlock the bootloader but i would do it anyways because you have to do it to install TWRP and Lineage GSI.

Custom recvoerys like TWRP dont play a big role anymore. At least i did not need one on my last 3 devices. OnePlus 8 Pro, Nothing Phone 1, Pixel 7 Pro. All have custom roms and everything is fine.

The only thing i am missing is NandroidBackup but without sdcard sot Nandroid is not really useful anyway.

Short answer: No we have no custom recovery but we dont need one.

[Nothing Phone 1] riccardorossi64:
Nandroid backup saved me so many times...

I would like so much TWRP
[Nothing Phone 1] dreas74:
For me, that's not true.

I have a couple of cases that the TWRP can solve.

- delete some apps in the super partition.

- use scripts from @osm0sis to deactivate force encryption and make super partition writable again

- nandroid backup

- delete magisk modules if they make problems or bootloops

- and much more that I have forgotten
[Nothing Phone 1] riccardorossi64:
I'm not an expert, but I loved to flash ROM (before my NP!)

Now I'm with 1.5.3 with a big fear to brick my NP1 to jump on a Custom ROM

Every Custom ROM has a particular instruction to flash it, XDA is no more the basic area where the threat are updated, now is Telegram where are all the info

But these "info" are not simple and explained step by step...

TWRP would have been a safe port for me (us? @dreas74 ) :-)

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
I have an S23U with up-to-date software and a Mac Book Pro running OS Ventura 13.2.1. I have installed 'Android File Transfer' on the laptop as directed by the software but the laptop and phone will not connect, despite my switching both off and on, trying other USB-C cables, etc. Has anyone any suggestions as to why this might be, please? As things stand I can only transfer files wirelessly (and slowly) via Google Drive. Edit - I have now tried uninstalling and re-installing AFT, removing Kies and Smart Switch apps from the laptop and enabling developer status on the phone to allow USB de-bugging. Nothing has allowed the phone to be connected to the Mac Book Pro. BTW, I assume I don't need to install AFT on the phone as well, as that isn't mentioned on their site?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Yes, all that is set correctly. Thanks for trying. I'm mystified and rather worried that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
OK, food for thought. I will need to seek out how to set that up. Many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
If you have gdrive syncing in the Macbook, quit it and then run the AFT. It will connect to the phone. This is a known bug in Mac OS.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Thanks. I use Google Drive only for specific file transfers, not synching. I'll try closing GD down and then using AFT, but I don't have it synching.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Actually, what I meant was that as long as gdrive app is opened, it will interfere with AFT.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Right - I will shut it down and re-try - many thanks again. Watch this space!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Well, I actually removed GD from the Mac Book Pro completely and re-started - still won't connect. Can you confirm I don't need AFT on the phone as well as the laptop? I've also tried another USB cable to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
There no AFT on the phone but I knew that Kies and Smart Switch could cause problems with AFT.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Yes, I've removed both of those from the laptop and the phone has never had them. It seems hard to avoid the conclusion that Samsung have made it impossible to connect the S23U (and other S23s?) with AFT to transfer files - a commercial decision, perhaps? Looks like I'll have to go back to GD. I'm a keen photographer and have ony just taken the plunge into phone photography (I still use my proper cameras most of the time) so I use the 200mp setting a lot - hence large files and slow transfer on GD, but so be it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
You can try using adb.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Sorry, what is adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
There's another app called openMTP. You could try that or file transfer using ADB. ADB is foolproof and will work as long as the computer recognizes your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Thanks for this. I looked up MTP and below is an interesting extract from the blurb - is it correct that AFT is "officially dead"? If so that would explain why I have wasted so much effort trying, but failing, to use it!

OpenMTP overview​

OpenMTP is a Free and Open-source alternative to Google's officially dead Android File Transfer app for macOS. Use OpenMTP to transfer files between macOS and Android phone using your phone's USB cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Well, there hasn't been an official statement from Google but as far as I know AFT is not being updated anymore and left on its own.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Renate:
Send me a Macbook (to keep) and I'll port my Windows AdbSync to it. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
OK, again - thank you. I have tried OpenMTP and it doesn't work, despite my having followed all the FAQs, etc. ADB is above my abilities, requiring as it does a knowledge of 'programming-speak'. Looks like I only have GD as my option - perhaps I am unusual in having an Android phone and an Apple laptop, but I wouldn't have thought it was that rare. Is it thought on this forum, I wonder, that Samsung have pulled out all the stops to make their new products as incompatible as possible with Apple's?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Have you enabled Firewall on your Mac?

If so, you'll have to add this app as an exception, so your phone can communicate with it.

Alternatively, you can setup/ enable SMB service on your Mac and then connect to it using a file manager on your phone. This doesn't require internet to work. Same holds true for other file transfer protocols like SFTP, FTP, etc.

If you're not aware of these, let me know and I'll help you set it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
It is ALWAYS Apple that make their products incompatible with others. 😃

But in this case, there are several ways to make your Android phone communicate with your Mac over the local network, without the need for internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Fair enough. I have dipped into the ways of using a local network but with no luck so far. I'm back with GD as the only thing I can make work. Many thanks for all the responses - much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
ADB transfer files route isn't really very difficult. You need to have access to terminal on the mac, install ADB in the macbook..and Google how to use ADB to transfer files from android to macbook. Most of the links will have step-by-step guide on how to do this. You don't need any coding knowledge either...I don't have it but still managed to use adb to push and pull files from the phone. Give it a try...it's not really difficult per se. Oh bte, ADB is a very powerful tool in every respects...it's in the best interests to befriend it 😄
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Thanks. I have a pretty slow internet connection (40mbs-ish) and I'm wondering how much faster file transfer would be with ADB? In other words will the difference be worth me risking getting into the nuts and bolts of trying it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
ADB file transfer is as fast as your port's speed threshold. It's not dependent on the Internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Of course - when I am feeling brave I may try it! Thanks again to all. BTW, am I the only S23U owner to have this problem (probably one of only a few so far to have it and a MPB!)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
The problem is neither with your S23U nor with your MBP, and neither is an Android -Mac combo very unusual. The problem is with your settings and you are not ready to do more research on it. There are plenty of ways to solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Well, I have tried all the settings changes on the Mac and the phone suggested here (and from other on-line sources) and none have worked. I am going to try the ADB suggestion when I feel confident/have time enough. Many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Just know that it is very much possible with the correct setup, and it doesn't require internet to work.

Hope you read comment #20.

You're most welcome to get help in setting it up properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] uicnren:
if you have had or currently have samsung dex, it will cause AFT to not function.

if you choose to try adb, use this to install it: https://github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools

that will install the latest adb and fastboot utilities only, in your path to make it as easy and convenient as possible. adb is very easy to use once you do it a few times. once you have it installed, you can very easily just drag and drop the files to the terminal instead of trying to navigate to directories, etc.

how did you uninstall smart switch? if you didnt, delete the entire folder it is installed in from the Applications folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I have an M1 MPB and faced this issue with both AFT and openMTP which when I read that gdrive app can interfere with AFT. When I quit the app on MBP, AFT worked like a charm. I'm assuming you have enabled the file transfer mode in your phone when connected to USB. In due course, I found ADB pull and push works more effectively that AFT or openMTP. It won't fail whatsoever provided you have ADB installed on your MBP.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nmt1900:
Well... it seems to have some glitches in it. If I connect the phone, then I get the USB connection prompt "File transfer" which defaults to "controlled by phone" with options to "switch sides". If I do that then phone seems to initially lose connection but then Android File Transfer fires up on Mac - most of the times. If not then reconnecting usually helps.

This is on macOS 12.6.3 with firewall enabled and Google Drive installed and running at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
There are some very capable file managers out there that support various file transfer protocols like SFTP, FTP, SMB, etc. Even the stock file manager, Finder, supports SMB.

It is much easier to enable SMB on the Mac and then connect to it using a file manager on Android. Alternatively, enable FTP or SFTP server on Android, and then connect to it using a good file manager on Mac.

These file transfer protocols work very fast and do not need internet, i.e. works completely offline within the local network.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
Thanks. Is this scenario wired or wireless? What is SMB?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
All file transfer protocols I mentioned are wireless. SMB is a (wireless) file transfer protocol (just like others) where your laptop acts as a server (you can choose which folders on the laptop are accessible over the (local) network, and if they are going to be read only or both read/ write enabled; you can set the permissions per folder) and you connect to it using a 'client' software, which can be a file manager on any other laptop or phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
If you would be willing to take me through the steps required I would be extremely grateful, whenever you have the time. I am a long-time Samsung phone user and my previous model was a J5 (6) model bought in 2016, so as you can imagine the leap from that to the S23U has been huge! I am a keen photographer and have taken the plunge into a top-flight camera phone (taking advantage of the trade-in and discount codes available) to allow me use it for more serious photography in addition to my 'proper' cameras. With my Canon and Sony cameras obviously simply transferring the SD cards for near-instant transfer to my Mac is straightforward, so the processes (other than Google Drive) for the Samsung/Mac transfer are new to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Setting up the Mac as a server will require quite a few things to be done, and I will probably create a separate post on this topic. I'll let you know when that happens.

The easiest thing for you to do is to run a FTP server on your phone and connect to it from your Mac.

Most good file managers (Samsung's My Files app doesn't have this feature) from Google Play Store will support running a basic FTP server. You'll find some very good ones in this post.

To keep things simple, you can use Cx File Explorer.

1. Install the app, launch it and give it All Files permission.

2. Go to the Network tab and click on Access from Network:

3. You should choose your own port number and password by unchecking 'Random Password'. That way you won't have to keep entering these details on your Mac each time. Then click on Start Service (which will start the FTP server):

4. Note the details as shown on the next screen. You'll have to type this out on your Mac Finder:

5. On your Mac Finder, click on the small computer icon that says 'Connect to Server':

6. Enter your FTP server address on the popup window (tip: add this to your Favourite Servers list so you can access it quickly going forward):

7. Now enter your username and password (you can check 'Remember this password in my KeyChain' so you don't have to type these out next time):

That's it.

Your Finder will open a new window and you'll see a folder called 'device'. Double click it and it will show you all the folders in your phone.

You can bookmark your favourite folders (such as your camera roll) on your Finder Sidebar for quick access in future.

You can now happily copy-paste files to and fro between your Mac and Android.

Once the transfers are complete, stop the service on your Android (i.e. stop the FTP server) so it doesn't drain your battery.

Here are two excellent server apps for Android:

1. SSH Server

2. WiFi Pro FTP Server

Both the above apps have a free version too.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] grangermoch:
I don't have an M1 Mac but I also had troubles with my Mac /AFT not detecting my S23U. What worked for me, and this may have been coincidence, is toggling the "Use USB for:" setting from Transferring files, to Transferring images, and then flip back to Transferring files. AFT popped up and immediately detected my phone. Seems like a fluke fix but figured I'd mention.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
It is amazingly kind of you take the trouble to set it out like that - I will give it a go. Whether I succeed or not I send my sincere thanks for your time on this.
