[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] feryao:
I would like to flash unlocked firmware to a locked metroPCS Samsung A54. Does it affect the network unlock 6 months later? or does it need the metropcs firmware to be able to remove the sim unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] h0miemaru:
Idk if this answers your question, but i flashed the A546U1 firmware with the XAA (unlocked CSC) to a phone that was originally carrier-locked to spectrum mobile. I still use this phone on the spectrum network with no issues.

If your goal is to flash an unlocked firmware on the locked metroPCS phone for the purpose of using it on another network (a network thats not metroPCS), then i believe flashing a carrier unlocked firmware should permit this, however if you already know what network you want to use it on, just make sure the firmware you flash supports that networks CSC.

And if i am wrong someone please correct me, just speaking from my limited understanding and trying to help.

I bought the tencent version with WW firmware preloaded on it. But the firmware version is the oldest one available.

How do I update it? since I cant receive FOTA.

I know I can download the zip files from their site, tried manually update by putting it in the root folder since there were somes posts on that for the older gen, but to no avail.

I don't really know how to flash firmware using the .zip file, but if that's my only option then I'm willing to do it.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] BMBCash:
put the update file in internal storage and restart your phone
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SleptCoping:
I mentioned in the post already, that this method doesn't work for me unfortunately
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] BMBCash:
this is the only way iif not work check the update you download if its for ww or ch and you should not skip updates, if your update N.200 don't go for N.216 direct

if even next old update not work ,its your ROM issue
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SleptCoping:
I've tried with all the versions but to no avail.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm using the WW rom on the tencent version because there are posts for the ROG 5 saying this method works.

It may very well be what you said so I might just have to go to the seller for tech support.

Sadly, it still gives me "System update failed"
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
I have the ROG 7 tencent version and don't have any problems. First do you know which model you have.

ASUS_AI2205_? if not look for an app called devcheck and download it. i think its like a dollar. i paid for it so long ago anyways.

when you download it check the model. and product info if its should say WW_AI2205.

it could be a partition a/b issue

or user_key mismatch.

you can try to boot into recovery and make sure partition a is set.

but definitely need some info on the model and the specs. only because there are sadly cloned rog 7s out theres with 128gb storage and 12gb ram. specially from alliexpress. so stupid question but Asus's site recognizes the phone right? cuz in your profile for Asus it should show your basic info including firmware.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SleptCoping:
I can confirm this at least.

As for partition, i have no clue how to change that, especially since the recovery mode is completely in chinese. Though I have managed to know what option is what for that screen by cross referencing video.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
So here's mine. Just for comparison in fingerprints and why your update us failing. Your model number/build is mismatched against your fingerprint. it's a CN rom initially that was probably flashed before you received it. that's the only way that would ever happen. It was probably flashed with the first WW raw image and because your fingerprint is CN_AI2205 when the phone tries to match the release-keys its allowing it to sync to asus for verification.

Because like mine is from India but the product's sku is WW_AI2205. so in your case when it runs the fingerprint it probably just times out. there is a fix but you might want to ask the dealer where you bought it or take it to a trusted phone repair shop. any android service (i live in the philippines and they have little stores at the mall). and ask them if they can flash the raw image of the WW version. but i don't think it's officially out yet. if you can bare it though i'm 90% sure asus will release the software to unlock the bootloader like they have on previous versions. (i had a rog 3) maybe 2-3 months they release the bootloader unlock like they have before.

it's a real pain in the ass to try and do yourself if you're not sure of what you're doing since it involves pulling the payload.bin out of your firmware to pull the source code for your phone and a bunch of other steps that if not done correctly you can bring your phone easily. hope that kind of clears it up a little bit for you. i ll try and dig around to see if theres a fix for you though.

[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SleptCoping:
I appreciate the in-depth explanation. That made a lot of sense.

When I first bought this phone it had the CN firmware installed, I requested them to install the WW firmware on it but they said they didn't have it. Put up with it for a bit before I realized that launchers are blocked on CN firmware. This lead to me going over to their tech support and have them install the WW firmware (which they told were not tested before and may be unstable), I'm guessing this is what they were referring to.

I was gonna go over to them again and ask if they have any idea. But if what you said about ASUS releasing their boot unlocker/ raw firmware later then I might just wait it out.

I'm in no hurry to get the current updates right now, but eventually Android 14 is gonna be available on 7 and having to deal with this problem then is really gonna piss me off. So I'm taking it out before hand lol.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
im just glad i could help you out. it's tricky sometimes when people repeat answers but don't really explain it. kind of defeats the purpose of the forums. and you should be fine honestly usually the first 6 months of a phone release is just bug updates nothing deathly important. and android security updates are usually good for a few months past their date unlike milk lol. and the way i check to see if theres an update is to just check twrp's page if they release a custom recovery because the only way they can is if the bootloader source code is released. and its also the safest way. sometimes a lot of videos actually lead you to installing backdoors to your device knowing it may be exploitable. anyways take it easy man
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] Devilsho:
Hi there

Let me tell you why your phone restarts

I also have tencent version with global pre-installed, every time update came i also download complete 5 gb package and put in internal storage ( known as root folder) and restart.

Now le me why your phone restarts

The main reasons its try to restart again after you boot it, its because it fails to update '' Google play system update " so it reverts back to older version by restarting. Please refer to screenshot for more detail.

For proof try to update" Google play system update" manually it will download and install and ask you to restart when you will restart it will find some error i dont know whether you unlock screen or not, but surely it will restart again to revert back to older" Google play system update".

And i dont care about this issue if any body find fix please let us know.

Happy gaming
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] BMBCash:
dame its true

i try most option to fix it ,its not even possible to downgrade

mostly because ROM issues.

my system update 208

google play system update May 1 2023

i will tell you something stupid about dual sim

my second sim for network was so slow then my older phone

so find out phone was connect my first call sim to network before second sim

i fix it by stop all network option in first sim
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
sometimes it helps to also go into settings and turn off all the settings that have to do with auto update. and when you restart your phone or before you restart your phone turn off data (not wifi) cuz if data is on it will automatically get your location and see if there are any updates in the region on reset. as verification.

also in the developer settings turn off the auto update settings and in the update setting itself where the choices are update at night or something. its the screen where you see if your rom is updated or not.

the reason behind that is because a sim card with NFC capable phone will automatically sign in to the region data and use the global timestamp to verify phone location. it has to do with google telemetry.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] Donlavon1:
for anyone flashing ww rom on Tencent phones. are you able to keep fingerprint? I heard you will lose fingerprint and will have to root the phone to get it back.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
i have the tencent version. and some info I've been hearing a lot of people that have the AI2205 specifically the D and B (both are the tencent china variant) are having a lot of problems due to Asus being unable to verify the tencent security link itself. Or it's failing to authenticate which may be causing a lot of peoples issues. It's not an ASUS side issue its more like the China server is timing out. Its not just ASUS rog related its for the other phones that fall under the tencent umbrella for china specifically. It may be due to the flooding they're having. the India versions have never had a problem since a lot of the testing and beta testing is done in India.

@donlavon do you mean the fingerprint as in the unlock biodata or the phone's fingerprint and data keys?
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] fatdumpling112:
actually false. because if you for example use any of the android developer programs that emulate android. and even an emulator like bluestacks or whatever. the google play store can be from android 9 and it will still update. update has nothing to do google playstore. the issue is when certain phone that come from certain areas did not originally come with the security keys to run google or its apps and they are soft flashed with a WW rom then you update over that. thats when google will system lock your phone because your keys do not match the ones on file. meaning any app that was installed or updated via playstore will lose data/wifi priveleges. much like how amazon androids cant run google play store. and vice versa.
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] offender1992:
Slight necropost to avoid making a new thread;

Eagerly waiting an answer on this. I just bought my ROG Phone 7 without realising I bought the Tencent version (the joys of buying online and not reading the fine print). It came flashed with the WW ROM on ver. 33.0820.0810.121. Checking for updates says i'm up to date but from the Asus site the latest firmware is WW-33.0820.0810.217 (2023/08/14 release assuming this is the most up-to-date one).

I successfully updated the software by putting the ZIP file in the root directory and letting the phone do it's thing. Now i'm on WW-33.0820.0810.217, Android Security Patch 1 July 2023, Google Play System Update 1st Feb 2023.

My real question(s);

Is there any way to allow the Tencent versions on a WW ROM to enable OTA updates because updating this way is a huge PITA and takes a long time.

Do the Android Security Patches and Google play System Updates update with the software/firmware updates or do you need to update them separately.

Are these two previously mentioned services up to date?

[General Questions and Answers] Arthur Winchest:
Hello guys, I just switched phones and my S23 is running Android 13, my previous one was on A10, I'm having many problems with apps that can't access my storage, like Music players, vídeo players, file managers, modded whatsapp (I couldn't even restore my full backup, it shows a message asking for storage permissions, but I already gave everything in the app proprieties menu) and etc... Some cases the apps launch the stock file manager but it doesn't allow me to select the root storage "for my safety" WHAT CAN I DO??? Plz help
[General Questions and Answers] ipdev:
I think you got mounting and permissions mixed up. 🙃

Data is mounted read-write, if it was read-only then no app could be installed and it's configuration could not be saved.

Regular "user" does not have permission to read or write to most of data.

With the exception of /data/local/tmp/.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] pndwal:
@jwoegerbauer

FWIW, my read of the docs is that A13+ file system is RO and system based... Partitions locked as RO are confined to sub-partitions in Super however... Actually super partitions have been locked this way since A10... /data is not in Super and is RW UIMM...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strych9ine:
Hi everyone :) I dug up my old Desire Z to try and get it running with PostmarketOS.

I need the Bell 1.34 RUU file:

[ROM]RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2

So that I can reset it to stock so I can try and follow the steps on here and de brand it and get it S-OFF. (It failed a RUU flash a few years ago and I forgot about it since then)

All the links are down for this file. I realize it is incredibly unlikely that anyone still has this backed up, but if you do have it would you mind uploading it to Mega or Google?

Thanks :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thegios:
Made two changes recently: mi ed to 5G and installed July patches, so not sure what could be the culprit, but recently phone is getting hot easily, even with basic usage.

This morning phone was at 100% battery and browsed for maybe 20 minutes: phone was hot and lost 8% if battery.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] pemz82:
I have noticed a similar experience. As we know, it can get warm relatively easily compared to some other devices, but the last month or so I have noticed mine get warm even doing basic tasks. Previously 10-15 minutes of web/chrome usage wouldn't cause much heating, but it does now. Particularly when on a 5G connection.

I'm not sure if this is an OS change or a recent Chrome update putting more stress through the processor.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thegios:
Exactly same experience
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
I dont understand this Phone. I can listen to YouTube Like 4 hours in a Shift and come Home Like 50-60 percent battery. If i dont Listen to anything at all it is nearly the Same.

The Phone feels Always to warm.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thegios:
To me this happens only recently, yet could be either the enabling of 5G or July patches. Most of the time in my day I am under WiFi and it does not get warm.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
On WiFi it's better. Battery drain and heat.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Fact! The heat after the July update reminds me of the P6P - terrible

103 degrees F seems common on my P7P with the July update and the Kiri kernel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SunSlide:
So I have the 7a and it's always had a "warm" feeling. I changed over to strictly 4g after another member claimed he did not have that warm feeling and my phone hasn't had that since. Gonna go with the modem causing this one
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] New Folder:
From what i've read using 5G causes heat & battery drain because modem tries to have 2G active at the same time.

Why even use 5G when 4G is already insanely fast and way more efficient?

Out of curiosity is the heat problem still there when setting to use LTE only?

Probably this problem is doubled when using 2 sims because i loose couple of days standby by just having 2nd sim active.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SunSlide:
I have no heat any more. It's cool to the touch even being in my pocket since I've shut 5g off. I'm not gonna say I get better battery life but it seems like it. It did still warm up under heavy use, ie Diablo immortals at 60fps and highest graphics. If the 2g is true, there is an option to shut that off too I think to where you could have just 5g.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I set mine to LTE all the time and the heat is still there. The biggest source of heat is if the phone is in the sun, in or out of the house
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
Dialer app #*#*4636*#*# you can choose LTE ONLY, NR ONLY(no voice calls on TMO), NR/LTE
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Walter White:
I had the same problem. Phone suddendly was getting hot.

Solution in my case was to deinstall the Updates for the Android System Intelligence

App (Google).

After that the heat was gone.

Thanks to pocketnow.com for this great tip.

If you would like to be able to drag your SIP (Keyboard) around the screen rather than have it docked to the bottom, the following registry edit is for you.

HKEYCURRENTUSER\Control Panel\SIP

Change the value of Dragstyle from 0 to 1 and then soft reset. When you do, you'll find a large bar at the top of your keyboard, which you can grab to drag the thing around. The next time it opens, the keyboard will be back where it started.
