The Fold 5 is complete now with the new case with a slim S Pen. Hinge seems better.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] mickliq:
Question for you. When I ordered it had some cryptic message about free Buds2 Pro but they weren't included. What's your experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] wirelezzz:
I saw somewhere about half price earbuds but I saw nothing about free
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] wirelezzz:
That's what it was you have to be a Samsung membership or something. I didn't have a Samsung membership
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] jah:
UK free buds 2 if order before 1 August

See here

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
Free Buds2 Pro claim for the U.K. is done and dusted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] force70:
To my great surprise mine came yesterday (jul 3) here in Canada. Grey 1tb version.

And another surprise which i dont think any reviews really mentioned much is how much less substantial the crease is...big difference from my fold 4!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ylly77:
Received this email from Samsung the same day that I should receive the phone:

​

We regret to inform you that your recent order has been delayed, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.​

They could send this email before, and no the same day of delivery. Now:

Your new estimated delivery date is	19/08/2023

UK based, and really I am not impressed, Samsung customer service is not their strong point
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] chetly968:
I just got a notification from FedEx that a package is on the way. Hopefully it's not just the case I ordered with the phone. We shall see tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] SPyxOff:
Hey folks, I ordered mine on 30th of July. It says arrival tomorrow. But I am yet to receive a package notification about delivery. All I can do is sit here and be jelly about all of you getting this monster of a device. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] zapote21:
Got mine today. From TMO USA. Love it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] sunnyo_ola:
Mine is coming tomorrow to be delivered by FedEx.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] nrage23:
Out for delivery. Really wish Samsung would not use FedEx.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] donc:
Both the Flip and the Fold came in yesterday. Now just waiting for bestbuy to send out the 6 classic watch I ordered.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] SPyxOff:
Samsung Orders page says it was shipped yesterday and should be delivered today on 8th of August. Nothing arrived :(

I wrote an email to Samsung asking what is the status.. can't believe I am left with blue balls after spending so much with Samsung on a pre-order. SMH.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] donc:
I got an email and text from samsung last night saying the device was just shipped. I actually received it earlier in the day yesterday so I really do not trust samsung shipping notifications. Yes I got the text on the Fold 5 that they say just shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] 94b20gsr:
Finally received my order yesterday. It's amazing how much bigger the screen is on the tab S9 Ultra coming from a tab S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] emilianos:
Ordered the blue one was wondering if anyone has experience with a magsafe adhesive that works good .I'm not trying to use a case the phone looks too good to cover up in my opinion. I hope there is a magsafe ring I can install that I can use on a car mount and also a compatible slim battery pack.thank you for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] vlubosh:
Shame on Samsung 😀 ordered Yesterday, they mentioned it will be delivered in one day. They could not reply when the device will be delivered....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] SPyxOff:
Praise the Lord! Got a note that it will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] cpufrost:
Anyone preorder through Samsung but choose to pick up at Best Buy store?

I'm curious because status hasn't changed and the hold on my CC is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ycats:
My unlocked version arrived yesterday, very impressed with the closed gap and a little less crease.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] noeldavid:
Seems to me that the Fold 5 crease has less depth than the crease of the Fold 4. You swipe the crease and is way less noticeable while swiping. My Fold 4's crease stopped opening 180" after 6 months of use. Never complained cause I did not want to send it in and wait, could live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] cmart4:
Mine arrived yesterday before I even got a fedex message that it was coming lol. (Sherman, TX). Sent back my Pixel Fold as I much prefer this beast. Using the Ringke clear matte case from Amazon to show the icy blue color.

Realized I didn't really like the spen case from Samsung, so I sent that back too. I'm not a super user that would use the pen that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ycats:
Yeah, similar for me, got an email giving me the tracking number and that it was shipped........then showed up on my porch a little bit after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] 94b20gsr:
Interesting, just looked at Sherman TX on maps to see where a new set of PC speakers are shipping from (Audioengine).
[Google Pixel 7] Sazoji:
Over the past 6 weeks, I have successfully gone nowhere in being able to transfer my old phone.

How am I supposed to unlock this device? It's insane that a device paid. in. full. has so much extra bs involved with this one toggle.

View attachment 5963303
[Google Pixel 7] Sazoji:
the device is sim unlocked now, but how the hell do I toggle OEM unlocking
[Google Pixel 7] ldeveraux:
You want to unlock the bootloader?

https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-pixel-7-pro/
[Google Pixel 7] Sazoji:
The toggle is still locked, despite getting the carrier unlock notification, this guide doesn't help on getting that toggle ungreyed.
[Google Pixel 7] ldeveraux:
Did you reboot?
[Google Pixel 7] TechX1991:
I call carrier purchase pixels, sad pixels, because majority of the time, you will not ever be able to oem unlock it, even if its paid off

Kinda similar to back in the day with the Galaxy S5. Carrier locked s5's couldn't be bootloader unlocked. Then some people found an exploit to convert them to google developer editions on specifically the toshiba chipset. Its basically waiting for an exploit usually and its a "don't hold your breath" moment
[Google Pixel 7] TKruzze:
It should work if you factory reset the device and then connect to the internet (preferably using Wifi) then enable Developer Options and you should be able to unlock Bootloader. I've done this many times on Pixels purchased from T-Mobile.
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
Download Tmobile device unlock from the playstore and run it. It'll check eligibility. They are right though, they don't do bootloader unlock, they do sim unlock. Once it's sim unlocked you should get a notification to restart, then afterwards you should be able to toggle oem unlock.
[Google Pixel 7] Sazoji:
This worked! I have graphene set up now. For esim you dont need to uninstall, I found disabling it, resetting again, and connecting to wifi got the oem unlock toggle open.

I already got the sim unlock/restart notification, I saw some people in the 7 pro forums having similar issues with a physical sim, but they could remove it and reset. Disabling the esim and resetting the phone got it up and running. once google play is set up (be it graphene or any other os) I could then re-enable and get everything up and running.

tldr;

Restarting a couple of times *did* get the sim unlock notification after I used the app, but wiping the phone without a sim (or a disabled esim) is what's needed to get oem unlocking.
[Google Pixel 7] TKruzze:
I would also recommend immediately flashing the latest factory image once the device is unlocked. This is the best way to ensure any T-Mobile 'cruft' is no longer present on the device. After doing this your device should be 100% identical to a device purchased directly from Google.
[OnePlus 11] XDRdaniel:
I'm sorry but it's so much better in every single way. I flashed global rom on it and locked the bootloader. I get ota, safety net, and all the other benefits.

I get wireless charging, I can charge my smart watch using reverse wireless charging. Speakers are much louder and clearer. Software feels snappier, closer to stock android plus extra customisation and gestures from Motorola. It's such an underrated device.

Display seems brighter in sunlight and also 165fps. Slimmer design, smaller camera bump. Better selfie camera and 4k60 fps. Also price difference. Op11 is 800£ and moto x40 is 410£.

[Apple] Red magic 3 camo:
Hi. So I have got some serious problems with static electricity buildup on electronic toucscreens like Ipad, smartphones. While it may not cause any harm to these devices yet it is so unpleasant to use the device that has static electricity buildup..for example swiping on screen gives you reppeling feeling which increases with more static electricity builds up ( my guess ). When it gets too annoying I have to turn the ipad off for 2 days at least to let ESD to dissipate by itself . after that this reppeling feeling dissapears for a while.

My question is if there is any effective way to quickly remove static electricity buildup from Ipad because it is too annoying to wait days before I can normally use the device again. I know the best solution is to prevent static electricity to form at first place, but it is not possible in my situation to completely elliminate that. That's why any quick method to remove static electricity buildup from the ipad would be the best for me.

If someone knows any solution please let me know !
[Apple] blackhawk:
ESD can damage and destroy devices.

If you can see, feel or hear it's already too much.

Devices have limited ESD input protection. Repeated insults can degrade this. Ram sticks have zero ESD protection out of circuit. Flash cards and sticks, so-so. Sim cards are very vulnerable out of circuit; handle like a stick of ram.

Raise the relative humidity to above 40%.

Wear cotton clothing. Avoid wearing wool and synthetics. An -earth grounded- ESD mat would help with an attached wrist strap if you want.

Touching an earth ground after your seated would take you to near zero. Moving and handling objects may create additional static.
[Apple] flux_capacitor:
Most of Apple products are essentially made of electrically conductive aluminum. Build up of electrostatic charges often happens on MacBooks (never saw it on iPads) when they are used while being plugged in a power outlet without ground. Replacing the two-prong plug of the original power adapter with the Apple 3-prong extension cord (with ground) plugged into a grounded outlet eliminates the static electricity from the device.
[Apple] blackhawk:
Simply touch earth ground with one hand and touch the laptop with the other. Most times you're carrying the charge... Metal doesn't generate static, it merely conducts it.

Static electricity needs no metal to accumulate; dielectrics can build up huge charges on their surfaces.

Be aware that using vacuum cleaners around this equipment can build a high charge potential near instantly. Anything that's in or was in motion has the potential to generate static except earth grounded metal. Rapid dissipation to an earth ground or object of a vastly different charge potential can damage circuits if that current flow goes through them. That's one reason why ESD straps have built in resistors typically around 1 mega ohm.

Keep the room RH higher than 40% helps a lot.

At less than an RH of 20% static electricity will be a problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oakvx:
hi, i have a rom file with a .img.xz extension how do i flash it

this is the rom repo

View attachment 5963315

and i have to flash this
[Android TV General] Alodus:
Hello guys, I would like to ask a question, I have a TCL S61532. I've been using it to play on emulators

but most do not work because the system denies access to the internal folder "DATA". even allowing it in the settings does not work

Does anyone know if there is a solution for this?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Hello guys,

I've been a very stupid man last week.

I wanted to unroot my Oneplus as some apps wouldn't accept a rooted phone.

I saw an article online that if you want to unroot, you should start by deleting Magisk. I uninstalled it through the official app and then my phone shut off instantly.

It began booting, just showing the logo and immediatly turning off, again and again.

The stupid thing though, is because I wasn't using the root, USB debugging and OEM unlocked are probably switched to off.

My PC doesn't recognize the phone, it only says QHUSB or android device, but don't let me open the files. ADB won't recognize it either.

So all the methods like fast booting can't be done.

I can get in the standard mode of my phone by turning off and volume up / down, but if I do the recovery or boot through that, nothing happens and it still will turn off and not boot.

Does anyone know how I can fix this or have I perma bricked my phone?

I feel like a true idiot just following an random article.,,,

Update:

I couldn't fix it myself, I tried some more but couldn't figure it out. I still had warranty luckily so I send it in for repair to Oneplus. They fixed it in a day and had my phone back fully working in 3 days with shipment!

Thanks al voor your help!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
Hi! Try to boot your phone in fastboot and get the fastboot drivers working. To use fastboot commands you don't need to have usb debugging on, if you can stay in fastboot mode then your device is fine and you can recover it. Just try to get the fastboot drivers working. Easiest way to install those drivers is to connect your phone pc while in fastboot mode, then in windows go to windows update(make sure to check for updates)> Optional updates, and fastboot drivers update should come. Just install it. If it doesn't come up for you then you might have to do some digging by yourself.

Once done, simply flash the boot.img extracted from the rom you're using. If it's stock rom you're using, find the rom file and extract boot.img out of it and flash it using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This should work, but I'm not sure because I currently don't have the device with me. Let me know if you face any problems.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Thanks a lot for your explanation!

My phone can be in fastboot mode, I believe this is this screen right? (I'll attach it below).

In the updates I saw indeed an update for bootloader drivers. I downloaded these. I also downloaded the rom for my device and platform tools. I combined them together as shown in a video, and opened CMD inside the folder. Although, when I tried to check the 'fastboot devices' command to check if it's working fine, it gives me a blank answer.

Also when I try fastboot reboot, it keeps saying < waiting for any device >

I might be very noob or not doing something right. But I'm stuck at this part.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
Seems to be a driver problem. Reboot your pc if you haven't done already and give it a try again.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Thanks it worked with the drivers!! I flashed the ROM but probably got the wrong one. It doesn't turn on yet. Got back into fastboot mode though, so I can try something else. Thanks a lot for helping me.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
You should never flash the wrong rom. Btw flashing boot.img should have been enough. What's the situation now?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Yeah the problem is someone else rooted for me, so I'm not exactly sure what ROM they used. I can get into fastboot again. It just does the same thing as before.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
I see, I did your command the fastboot flash boot boot.img, so luckily not the entire ROM. that's probably why it's still functioning. Do you know if there's a way of figuring out the ROM that was used?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
Hi! If you're not sure what you're running then I would suggest you to play safe and flash the stock rom from fastboot by yourself, as it can be time consuming to try and check. If there's no important data then just start fresh. For that you need to make sure you download the correct rom file depending on the model you have. Make sure to download the stock firmware for your device only. Don't mess this up. If you flash any wrong firmware on your device, then it could be hard bricked.

Then just open up YouTube and search how to flash stock rom on OnePlus 10 pro using fastboot method and follow any guide and you should be good to go.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Thank you so much. There is no important data on it at all, so I don't mind if I will start fresh!

Just to be sure if you don't mind, for a oneplus 10 pro from Europe, would this Europe ROM be okay to use? The ✧ Oxygen OS 12.1 A11 EU full OTA.zip.

https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-10-pro-global-rom-india-eu.4424973/

Really, thank you so much for your help I appreciate it so much!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
Wow! This is even more complicated than installing a custom rom. I wasn't even aware of it as I have never flashed stock rom on 10 pro. Tell me one thing: can you flash recovery from fastboot and boot to it? If that works then just flash a custom rom. Flashing stock seems risky to me as I have no experience in it. But if you do decide to flash stock rom from the link you provided then make sure to follow the steps suggested in the thread you linked.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Thank you. I'm really not certain. I don't understand exactly what to do, so I think I'm just gonna try to read some more about it or ask someone to help me fix it for some money. It's just so difficult and it's not really my field of expertise. I try to follow the guides, but when it tells me to use the flash all from the ROM, I don't have that script in my files. So hopefully I'll figure it out someday. Thanks a lot for your help!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Jatin Verma x821:
If you wanna make it someone else's responsibility to fix your device for your then it's fine, but just know that you can also do it. It would have been easier if I had my 10 pro with me so I would have tried things first on my device, but still, if you can't figure it out yet doesn't mean you never will. It'll take some time and patience but you can fix the device yourself. Trust me it's really easy, we are just not able to find reliable source to trust. I'll try to find the fastboot rom for you if you wanna continue.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
Step 1, stop doing what everyone has been telling you to do.

Step 2, what is your model? Check your box.

Step 3, search this forum for the boot images for your specific model and download each one.

Step 4, use "fastboot boot boot.img" replace boot.img with the boot file name.

Step 5, repeat step 4 with every boot file for your model until it boots up and then fastboot flash that file.

btw, you don't have the skills to try and flash a full rom on this phone so don't do it.

also, the person who rooted your phone is an idiot.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
I found a new guide but it asked me to go in fastbood D mode. I did this. Now

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I've already messed it up, as I flashed a line of commands (https://droidwin.com/unbrick-oneplus-10-pro-flash-firmware-via-fastboot-commands). The ones they told to do here. Then had to go in fastbootD mode which suddenly didn't work anymore (checked it just before and could get into it right away). I think I factory reset the phone as it won't turn off anymore either. It's just stuck in the regular fastboot mode screen. Tried updating drivers, et cetra, but all don't let me go into fastboot D mode anymore, just the regular one.

These are the commands I succesfully run into regular fastboot mode:

fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cpucp cpucp.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash engineering_cdt engineering_cdt.img

fastboot flash modem modem.img

fastboot flash oplus_sec oplus_sec.img

fastboot flash oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash shrm shrm.img

fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash tz tz.img

[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:
Thanks a lot for all your help! I'll see if I can figure it out!!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ptr21:
I softbricked my device also.

Also stucked in fastboot mode.

How I solved it:

You need fastbootd (!) to flash fastboot ROM.

First step, I flashed stock recovery, found it here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-10-pro-android-13-stock-update-rom-root-and-recovery.4525451/

Then boot to fastbootd ( fastboot boot fastboot)

Second step, flash fastboot ROM.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
That sucks. You can try what ptr21 posted or pay someone to unbrick your phone.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] PayakanPando:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globetro33er:
Looking to root my (very) old Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, AT&T, to recover old media files. I do not see a dedicated S5 Active forum within this website, so posting here (S4 Active) as this is the closest I can find.

Regarding my root process, I've tried everything and failed: from simple things such as downloading an app (KingoRoot, Wondershare, etc), to booting up in developer mode and entering certain prompts to try to override the system (followed steps found on this forum for a different Android device).

I can provide more specifics over what I've done and/or the exact phone model in question, but wanted to get this out there to see if there was any initial guidance from those on this forum about my prospects in this root conquest.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
@globetro33er As we do have a Galaxy S5 section, I will move your post there.

I recommend against the use of KingoRoot as it is known to install malware.

The rooting process should be the same as any other Samsung device of that era. Take a look at this thread. You can find Odin here.
