On top of what roirraW "edor" ehT informed, just to add that Verizon is fairly notorious for locking down the bootloaders on

ALL

of their devices/variants. Due to this, I'm willing to bet that you will not be able to root, at the very least modify the ROM or flash a custom ROM....

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] MGII2:
I tried to put the infos on the title, but I'm not sure if I managed to be clear. I have an old device, Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 SM-A530W. I updated my own phone and was planning to pass it down to my daughter. But just as she was starting to use it after a few days, it got a hardware problem, comfirmed to be from the motherboard. As it's considered quite an ancient model, it was not worth it to get it repaired, but I decided to see what I could DIY. I found a motherboard to sell for next to nothing on ebay, but it's from a demo phone, not a retail one. I could install it physically, but the phone is stuck on retail mode now (as I was anticipating). I tought I would be able to flash a different firmware and get it back to normal usability, but I'm stuck, and I need help here.

I followed tutorials on flashing the firmware with Odin3, but it systematically fails. The dev options are enabled with OEM unlocking and USB debugging, the phone has been reset (more than once) and is completely clear, I've tried with three different firmwares I downloaded, all with the same result. I don't really know where to go from here, and I can't find my problem described anywhere to try something else. Any help would be really appreciated, if someone has any idea where exactly it could be failing or to go through if I'm missing something with the process. Thanks!

Hi

the demonstration mobiles do not have a modem so whatever you do this mobile will never make a call via the gsm network. you can just use it as a tablet by connecting it to the wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] MGII2:
Yes that's the point. It's for my daugther who is too young to have a full cell phone and will use it on wifi. But I want to get rid of the demo mode, so we can put an account to sync calendar/email/etc, download apps that will not be erased as soon as we get out of them, all that. So I try to flash a regular firmware (I think I managed to find the right one that would have been on the original mobo) to have it fonction as a regular phone, even if it will never take a sim card.

My worst offender is myTuner Radio.

Find an app where you can freeze or disable the app if it's one you seldom use (I use SwiftBackup).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
yeah i've considered using titanium and freeze it but I use it very regularly. it's a bit of a ball ache to unfreeze it every time. hoping to find a way to stop it coming on in the background.

EDIT: for those that may come across this issue, I found a great app called ice box. can be configured however you want it. totally solves problem!

[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
am i stupid to do so???

is it better than the free panel or SE's panels?
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
imho, yes :p

we can have touchflo3d, spb mobile shell isn't confortable as it can seems. It has poor integration even with spb products, i.e. if you need phone profiles and use spb phone suite you can't have a wireless switch on today, you have to navigate trough menu (feature request from about 1 year!!!). Also menu customization isn't simple and some basical function are still difficoult to reach. And I reported a lot of crash when customize.

It's UGLY and we don't have much skins for wvga, and skinning is a real pain as they don't release any documentation and all new version messes up all our knowledges changing layout, calls, api... I was about to release a pretty wvga xperia theme for mobile shell 2.1 but the upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3 has break too much things and i have to give up. They don't deserve us and I don't encourage people to use it :mad:

tflo3d is a mess too to skin, but at least it's free for us, much cooler by default and more stable even on xperia :)
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
I don't think that you're stupid if you buy SPB mobile shell 2.

I've tried both spb panel and tf3dhd, and the fullversion of spb mobile shell 2 beats them hands down. It's quite easy to customize the menues and is lighter on the cpu than the hog tf3d (in comparison to spb MS2 it is a hog.).

I say go for it.

Try spb. I think they have 15 day tral . and see may post in the link.

I kinda want allways to have that other peapler dont use. want manilla buy oem
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
What are the differences between the panel and the real thing?
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
The real thing has more options and a "today" plugin and it looks nicer.
[XPERIA X1 General] a5ian300zx:
i tried the spb mobile 2 and i like it overall, but would prefered to have it as an panel otherwise i had to keep pressing the button for the spb shell to appear every time. is there any way to have it as a panel as i could not see the option to?

at the moment i use the spb shell panel from SE which i like to layout of?
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
if you use s2u you can set it to wake uo directly to spb, otherwise if you use search you'll find some sort of "daemon" that cares about switching automagically to spb when normal today comes up

but the point is: spb is undocumented, heavy and a pain to skin/customize :p
[XPERIA X1 General] yyzxex:
using 2.1.2

Spb Phone Suite w/wireless, and profile, switches is avail as a plug-in/tab in Today screen.

The first option in Shell settings is to "Show the [Spb Shell] Now Screen when device wakes up."
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
as a one on one compare, does it WOW much more than the SE panel?
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
not directly as with normal today plugin
[XPERIA X1 General] Cokey:
Im using SPB 2.1.2 and I tried TF3D.

IMO SPB shell is much better and easier to customize and gives me satisfaction. Im using several plugins and it works as a charm. Quick and nice looking and its setted up as my "Today Screen" so I dont have to push anything to make it come up.

I love it and would recommend u to buy it. But try the Trial first to see if it fits u..
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
ok.. btw what does plug in do?
[XPERIA X1 General] ninja.rogue:
For SPBMS users:

is the standard version able to work together with panels? i.e. in case you install MS AND want to use another panel, like Facebook or Google?
[XPERIA X1 General] LFCFredda:
I have bought it and thinks it is a great program til i noticed that i had to charge the battery every day. I uninstalled it and now i can wait four days before i have to charge it again.

They have a 15-day trial that u can try, but remember to check your battery :D
[XPERIA X1 General] yyzxex:
I enable the Spb Phone Suite plug-in/tab in Mobile Shell settings. Then enable Spb Mobile Shell in Start> Settings > Today > Items. Phone Suite wireless and profile switchers are shown as drop down tabs on the WM Today panel. Can't imagine how a more "normal today plugin" would look.

Re. battery life. Wrote this yesterday in another forum; will quote myself here -

[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Is it possible to integrate the full mobile shell as a panel, like the lite version?
[XPERIA X1 General] phoenixnr:
Unfortunatly no :(
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
Maybe its possible to simply overwrite the files from mobilebshell panel edition with the files of the full version?
[XPERIA X1 General] mkent_barbados:
well in a way it IS a panel as it works on your home panel (which I have changed the image of to show Mobile Shell) and on your fish panel too. but if I want my Mobile Shell panel, I just choose my home panel.

Just wanted make sure I heard you right. boot img shareed above is not came from full stock firmware? As I was searching online quite often,I don't think OnePlus ever release Nord n30 full stock image yet.

it is not. I don't expect OneMinus to release full zips in the US market anymore.

I wouldn't. This phone doesn't have a recovery partition to backup. If you use TWRP, then you're pretty much screwed as many other have been on other OnePlus phones with a recovery partition that could be backed up.

TWRP=no updates

Actually, idk if the above statement applies to 2515 phones. I don't have one to play with.
[Android General] FusionJoe82:
If you go to Metro website you can order phone for 60.00 with new number. I paid 20 for phone and 40 for plan but I am holding off on rooting it as I have a Moto g stylus 2022 that's already rooted
[Android General] Desidinova:
I have a new Nord N30 5G inbound today and was going to try to root this weekend. I have a little experience rooting, but I'm far from an expert. My last root was a LG V20 VS995 via Dirty Santa (that was a tricky one, probably the hardest one I've rooted, but no real issues rooting). My question is, can anyone point me to the link for the stock boot.img? I've read and reread this thread and I just don't see it. If I did miss it, forgive me. I see all the download links except that one?! I know how to flash an .img, but backing up my boot.img is a little fuzzy (i.e. boot_a, boot_b, etc.) That's kind of a new thing for me. I just don't want to brick a brand new phone before I even put a SIM in it. BTW, it's the 2513 direct from OnePlus.

Another quick question. I was planning on rooting in Linux, but I can use Windows too. Is there a reason to use Windows over Linux or does it matter? Can I accomplish something with Windows that I can't with Linux, or vice versa?

Thanks to XDA and all the community for all the help and instruction you've provided me over the years, through numerous phones (man, that statement makes me feel old!).

Thanks again.
[Android General] Desidinova:
Sorry. I found the links. My phone browser cut them off and I didn't see them. I'm mentally preparing myself for the task.
[Android General] Desidinova:
OK. I've downloaded all the files, I've read and reread the instructions about a hundred times. Here's my question before I start rooting.

At the instruction that says:

"Download the stock boot (links below), patch it in Magisk, and copy it to your computer."

I assume that mean patch it on the phone. Do you copy a stock downloaded boot image to your phone (or SD card) then copy back to pc for flashing? Can you direct Magisk to a specific img for patching through the Magisk phone app? All my uses of Magisk (and SuperSU for that matter) involved flashing a zip file via custom recovery.

I have tried searching, but haven't found anything that discusses this action.

One more quick question. I'm still waiting for my new SIM to arrive (should be today). Am I able to do the OTA via WiFi without a SIM? I was planning on doing OTA, then rooting. Does that seem right, instead of the incremental update files? I don't really care that much about updates anyway, so I may completely forego updating altogether to make things easier. I'm a tad unclear on the update thing. What would you advise on that?

Thanks.
[Android General] Desidinova:
Disregard first part of post. I found a very bad, computer narrated video on YT that demonstrated using the Magisk app and pointing it to the img file to be patched. Sorry for premature post.

My SIM card now won't arrive until Monday (UPS next day...right) and I really wanted to get this done this weekend, since I'm off work. This should be my final question regarding rooting this phone.

Does anyone know if the OTA will work via WiFi without a SIM, or should I just use the incremental files to update? Hopefully, I can complete all this and have it ready to pop the SIM in when it arrives. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Android General] g96818:
You can update via wifi. Just update as normal then root. Use the stock built in system updater this one time, then never again.
[Android General] Desidinova:
Thank you so much. I'll be spending the evening (or, hopefully, only part of the evening) doing this. I truly do appreciate the reply. Cheers.
[Android General] crawsome:
FYI, the "Easy installer" for fastboot was a pitfall. The version it used couldn't talk to my N30 2313.

Using the official fastboot version and ```fastboot flashing unlock```, it was able to unlock.
[Android General] Desidinova:
Rooting update:

I unlocked bootloader, installed the downloaded incremental update (6.01 to 6.11), patched the downloaded stock boot image, flashed the patched boot (to slot b, as reported) and I seem to be rooted. Magisk reports root, WiFi seems to work, everything seems to work fine. I'll find out for sure when my new SIM arrives, but it appears to be successful. It actually was one of the easier rooting procedures I've done, although I'm not an expert by any means.

I would truly like to thank g96818 for his clear and concise directions and replies. Without them, there's no way I could have even considered rooting this phone. I'd be more than glad to buy you a coffee to show my appreciation. Just let me know. I would also like to thank XDA for providing me with all the resources I've ever needed to root, tweak, debloat, etc., the various phones I've used through the years. I've never been met with anything but solid information and helpful people.

Cheers to all.
