[Online Courses, Schools, and Other External Resour] Abdul Ah@d:
I do not know which is the best forum to post this thread, so will be making a few more posts (Sorry!)

I am currently following android development fundamentals from google, it is in java, but is somewhat outdated,

Some methods used are outdated.

There are new changes (like basic activity now has 4 parts instead of 2, activity_main.xml, contents_main.xml, and 2 fragments).

There is also the Binding class, which is not mentioned in the course yet, so I guess it is relatively new. And the situation is similar with NavController and NavHostFragment classes.

etc, I am sure there will be more unknown and new things as I progress through the course.

The reasons why I want to stick with Java are as follows:

I already know the basics at least, and plan on learning advanced stuff in Java, mainly DS algo.

Java has vast uses and is used in a lot of places. Whereas I have heard that Kotlin is mainly only used for android apps.

I am somewhat short on time, and am not sure if I will be able to learn Kotlin quick enough.

I know of one course from 2020, but that is not complete.

Although Java is preferred, but if there are no up-to-date courses in it, and you strongly advise going the Kotlin route, then please mention some good resource.

I know of Android basics with compose and Basics in Kotlin (which one of these to follow?? Later units of both courses have similar titles). There is also the Udacity nanodegree, but that is expensive (400$/mo Uff).

Any free or affordable course will be preferred. Maybe video ones will be better??

Thanks
[Xiaomi 13] dv_8:
dears,

my mobile comes with the latest EEA rom and each time I (re)initialize it, a local carrier/brand script ask me to install a few carrier-related apps... of course I can uninstall all of them at the end of the mobile initialization phase... anyway I find this annoying and invasive.

Unlocked the BL and reflashed the EEA... the script is still there :(

flashed the gobal rom (non EEA)... no carrier/brand script :)

my point: in which way the EEA recognize the carrier/brand on my phone always triggering a script aimed to install something? IMEI? brand code? is there anything I could do to permanently remove this issue on the EEA rom?

thank you in advance

cheers
[Xiaomi 13] NOSS8:
Which rom(fullname)?

fuxi_eea_global_images_V14.0.24.0.TMCEUXM_20230615.0000.00_13.0_eea_9df09be1a9.tgz​
[Xiaomi 13] NOSS8:
Surely linked to the sim and the rom, EEA is for Europe, the difference with the Global is at the level of the RGPD and a limitation of the maximum sound volume.

What if during configuration you choose another region?

Otherwise stay on a Global or a Xiaomi Eu rom.
[Xiaomi 13] dv_8:
not linked to SIM... since my SIM (carrier/brand) is different from mobile carrier/brand...

it should be linked to IMEI or a parameter such as BRAND_NAME... maybe stored into efs partition...

[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
The software you are using haven't been updated for years. You can see the github issues section for similar kind of problems. If you are using windows than using this tool does not have any point. Use original software provided by Xiaomi.

Edit: and definitely install driver_install and some ini files (forgot the name) given in the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sarthak s10+:
I have a Au samsung s10+ (SCV42) and i think its region unlocked cause i'm able to use it in Nepal right now. But it's on ONEUI 3.1 android 11 and i want it to be on the latest android 12 but scared of loosing the region unlock status because sim card use is the most for me ... While doing OTA update through setting it says registration failed .

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
You can use Odin to update. It should not affect your region unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sarthak s10+:
If region unlock is gone then what software should i use to re do it? Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] webhook:
As a Docomo (formerly au) customer, I can confirm that those region unlocks are IMEI based so you will not have any problems with Odin.

[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] MIngemau:
Hello xda-developers,

I am really a noob and at least I think I made a big beginner mistake and I do not know what to do now - but maybe someone here can help me. So what is the problem?

I have a Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra H4213 and wanted to root it. First step - unlock the bootloader - works. Installing the SDK Platform tools also no problem. Booting with fastboot the twrp.img file also fine. And then on the next step I was a little to fast: Instead of making a backup I installed the twrp.img file first. At this time the smartphone always booted to twrp and I made a backup of the whole system. And what came next?

I thought it is a good idea to download and install the boot.img file for the H4213 to the boot partition ... and that really does not work - I come into an "endless booting loop" and the worst: I can not boot with the twrp.img file again:

$ fastboot boot twrp.img

Sending 'boot.img' (32464 KB)

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed

FAILED (Status read failed (No such file or directory))

fastboot: error: Command failed

$

All lost or does anyone see a way to rescue my smartphone? Many thanks in advance for every answer.
[Google Pixel 6a] kobra1991!:
hello world : ) i need a help about making custom recovery. but cant find where is located, because no recovery.img i extract all images but cant find it.

i want to remove few options in recovery, adb sideload, mount /system, logs etc. i search and find all of this option located in device.cpp or recovery.cpp or recovery_ui.cpp but couldnt find it.

thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
The Pixel series, as with most A/B devices, do not have a recovery partition. Instead, the recovery kernel is compressed into the boot image. Because of this compression, there is no way to permanently install custom recoveries like TWRP on a Pixel. Flashing TWRP to /boot will overwrite the system kernel, meaning only the recovery kernel will start.

The workaround is to live boot the TWRP image so you can do whatever you need in TWRP, without overwriting the boot image.
[Google Pixel 6a] kobra1991!:
Thanks for answare. I know that, i unpack boot.img but cant find file where is config of recovery, i search and find this https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery/+/refs/tags/android-platform-13.0.0_r9, but need to do that on few phones.

[Realme GT] Peter Trex:
So I unrooted my realme GT, flashed stock ROM and re-locked the bootloader to sell it, now it only goes to recovery, I'm not familiar with realme flashing, I managed to get the ofp and zip file, not sure which one to use.

current status of the device:

RMX2202 GDPR, unrooted, locked bootloader and no longer able to enter fastboot. I can enter EDL.

I used to use MSM for my Oneplus, so I think it's same for realme but I cannot find any info about this device with MSM.

I heard it's because {...} has them and need to pay?

Surely not right? I mean all the OnePlus MSMs are open and Xiaomi is easy too.

Is that the only way?

If anyone can provide me with help I would greatly appriciate it. thanks.

Have you try to use Oppo/Realme Flash .OFP File on Bootloader to install stock firmware
[Huawei Watch] Metalor:
I found a way to connect the watch to the computer by USB cable (check motherboard USB pinout attached)

Bootloader in fastboot mode, the computer sees the watch

Now I'm looking for a way to unlock the bootloader (and there we'll run twrp and get root and custom firmware)

Please Join who is interested.

Spoiler content hidden.

How to enter recovery:

turn off the watch

press & hold power button and at the same time keep pressing second button

when Huawei logo appears and watches vibrates 1 time, release power button but keep pressing second button until you see recovery

Hello, thanks for the quick reply. How can I do that? Can you give me instructions or is there already one?

I can get into recovery mode anyway, do I have to select the first step?

Using your method via USB, can I select the firmware manually?

And where can I download the firmware?Link?

Hello, hope you are doing well!

This is my sad story.

I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ (rubypro) Chinese version. It came with Chinese ROM so I wanted to flash European ROM because it supports Portugueses, have Dialer with call recording.

I failed because I chose flash all and lock bootloader, after first start up the phone said this ROM is incompatible with this phone version, I managed to flash the right ROM and I fixed it now it is not bricked but also I don't have the baseband version and IMEIs.

I read some articles and they sai I need to flash ENGINEERING ROM to write the IMEIs, so I ask you to help with this ENG ROMs or if you know help me fix this problem.

This are the right picks of my phone.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:
Please flash back the chinese rom that came with your device and see if that fixes your device baseband.

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:
Did you flashed it using Fastboot or Sp Flash tool?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] EACUAMBA:
Sp Meta Flash Tool.

To recover ROM bricked state sp Meta Flash Tool
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] EACUAMBA:
What should I do to fix now?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:
Use MAUI Meta tool

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mmaksuti:
I have an AT&T Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935A), it got randomly stuck on a bootloop, where it gets stuck on the AT&T logo for a while before rebooting. I first tried wiping cache partition, then doing a full data wipe but nothing fixed it. So I decided to try reflashing Android, also updating it from 7.0 to 8.0 in the process. Reflashing went fine but the issue wasn't fixed. Now instead of the AT&T logo it gets stuck on "Starting Android" which briefly shows a loading bar before rebooting. Occasionally it'll go to "Installing Applications" after that (with a black background) and get stuck there for a while and reboot. Then I tried flashing an unlocked (SM-G935U) firmware but same thing. Finally I tried doing a NAND erase + re-partition but that didn't change anything either. I feel like a hardware failure is the only possible explanation at this point which seems weird because otherwise everything works fine and phone is fully responsive (not to mention phone is in good condition and has been taken good care of).

So here are the firmwares I tried:

- First: G935AUCUBCTB1 (downloaded from samfw)

- Second: G935UUESBCTA3 (also from samfw)

Tried multiple versions of Odin but mostly 13.3.1 (also for the U version I had to use a patched Odin or it would complain about SHA256 being wrong), nothing made a differenece.

Any suggestions? I will gladly provide information or necessary logs if requested
