I got 20 working on mine, I'm still not 100% what did it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Are you On Discord? If so DM me on "samdaaepic". If you are not on discord can you check with adb shell, if in your LOS 20 /dev/watchdog exists?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
I'm on telegram if it helps and when I get home I'll do it

Can you please give your telegram username?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
Sam has found a fix for the reboots, were looking into the boot fails
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Hello Everyone.

Samsung just released their new firmware for the SM-X205 i.e X205XXS3CWG1. You can update your devices firmware to that (with Re-partition and Erase Nand Selected). Flash Lineage OS 20 normally as you would without flashing Magisk. And the rebooting issue will be gone. As long as you don't flash Magisk your Device will not auto reboot with that firmware. I'm looking into making Magisk Working with LOS 20 and will update soon after I find a permanent fix for this watchdog issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
The same version is available for the X200. (CWG2) If I already have LOS 20 working and rooted on my tablet, is there any reason I should update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
There is no reason you should update if you have the SM-X200. That new firmware version just fixed the auto rebooting issue on SM-X205 but after rooting it comes again. So, only people who have SM-X205 should update to that new firmware (I mean you also could update but you wouldn't notice any significant difference from the previous one) and install LOS 20 WITHOUT MAGISK. And you would not experience the auto rebooting issue. I'm currently trying to dig into the SM-X205 kernel source code and figure out how to exactly fix this watchdog reboot issue. Ill update if I find anything
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
Finally took the risk and got LOS20 on the X200. Not much of a trouble, but those reboots certainly destroy the enjoyment. Looking forward to hear from more intelligent people about the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Are you on the latest Samsung Firmware? I'm pretty sure people on SM-X200 weren't having the reboots on the latest firmware. And it has also been partially fixed on SM-X205 with the latest firmware Samsung Released last week.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
I've not had reboots on X200 installing the new firmware in Odin with nand erase and re-partition, not even with magisk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
Yes, July firmware X200XXS3CWG2. I keep getting reboots every 5 minutes or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
Nand Erase and Re-partition I did not do. I will try that.

Just to be completely sure, would you please link the LOS20 img you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
I can flash the latest LOS20 and magisk, I get 1 reboot during setup, then it stops
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
when I select nand erase on ODIN, the process fails saying it cannot open the file specified, but if I don't select it, it flashes fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
Which version of Odin are you using? Modded version just upsets this tab
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
Regular 3.14, I read I should not use the modded version.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
That's good, both 3.13.1 and 3.14.1 worked for me, make sure just incase your Samsung USB drivers are up to date and that your USB debugging is enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SirRhor:
Thank you for your support. I re-started from scratch. Official July build, then TWRP, then LOS 20, I've had no reboots so far for 1 hour since installation. One last question if you don't mind. I got the Boot.img from the official build patched with Magisk. Can I flash that one on LOS 20 to have root?. I ask that because I don't know how to extract the Boot.img from the LOS image.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Make sure to get the .pit file of the device from CSC file and add it in the pit tab and then select NAND ERASE and Re Partition in options tab and then flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
You can flash Magisk from TWRP and then in the Magisk app itself you can automatically patch and flash the boot.img with direct install.

For the question you asked. If you've got the boot.img from the Samsung Firmware you are currently running, yes you can patch that boot.img and flash it. LOS is just a system image and everything else other than that is just stock stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You don't need a boot.img to root LOS. Just install magisk.apk or zip via TWRP. Then boot system and run magisk and choose "install". Then, rather than patch a file, choose "direct" and magisk will install root and auto reboot the tablet.

So I just updated my Poco M3 to the the version of CRDROID v9.6, I don't know if it is in the settings or somthing but whenever I need to unlock my phone using my fingerprint, the screen must be on for it to work. How do I unlock my phone using fingerprint without my screen on?

Same problem for me on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 pro, it happens on other official devices too, so it's a rom issue.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxytaru:
I was messaging a work colleague and the messenger got frozen on half of the screen. I thought it was a video error that would go away on reset so I tried resetting in long tablet mode (sorry I am not using the correct terms) and I couldn't hit the reset button because it appeared BEHIND my facebook messenger. I was able to access it in portrait mode though. So I reset but now my screen has junk all over where the messenger was. I tried to get into factory reset but the options are behind the junk. I tried to guess where the option was and ended up clicking the update button instead and now I'm just sat here with my screen looking like this.

View attachment 5942837

So what can be done?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Boot into recovery mode. Factory reset.

If you can't either the firmware is corrupted and needs reflashed or it's a hardware failure. I'm leaning towards the latter.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxytaru:
Yeah i did the factory reset through guesswork and its still there. I don't even know how to begin reflashing.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxytaru:
I am in ecuador and have no access to reliable shops.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Did the recovery screen display normally?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxytaru:
Nope
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
A ribbon connector may not being making good contact.

Otherwise my guess is it's a display or mobo failure.
[HTC Excalibur] einsteiger2000008:
Hello friends,

i search the latest Version of WM6.1 for Excalibur, if possible German.

can you give me maybe a link to send

thank you

Yours sincerely
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
There is no German language WM6.1 ROM as they are all customs, you can have English language and the keymap in German.
[HTC Excalibur] einsteiger2000008:
wm6.1

hi,

thank you...

this link...WM6.1 For Excalibur By Kavana 080408 - Remade By Rickywatt

what its are links...??
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah they links to ROM same as Rose Remade.

A good place to start is How to flash your Dash as all the ROM links there will also be a good resource on what you want to do.
[HTC Excalibur] einsteiger2000008:
htc excalibur

Hi,

sorry,

But can you please tell me what the left are ...

What is NRG rose, it is also wm6.1?

and this rome WM6.1 For Excalibur By Kavana 080408 is the latest and the best?

you speak German?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
NRG Rose ROMs are ported from the s740 and is WM6.1 the Rose ROMs are newer than the Kavana & Ricky Remade.

Kavan was the first dash WM6.1 then Ricky Remade with alot of extras, it's worth taking a look @ all the ROMs and seeing what you like as the keymap can be changed in the ROM for German.

Click in my sig step by step how to flash Dash and link to all the ROMs is there including the guide on how to flash.

I stand off from saying what is the best? As it's down to personal taste & don't speak German.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Excalibur] einsteiger2000008:
wm6.1

hi

Thank you!

So I have the RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera and find the very well ... Rose and NRG also has everything the wm61 Kavana also has ..? also the German keyboard layout ...?

I hope I do not pester
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] RajvardhanP:
Hi guys,

So I am trying to repair/start my old redmi 4 but the device does not stays on in twrp when I unplug it. The device remains on in fastboot mode without plugged in. If I use twrp when plugged it work but the moment I unplug it dead. I also tried to flash stock miui from fastboot but device not booting.

Is there any solution for this? Or tell me the problem in which part of device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Renate:
Probably the battery is old and decrepit.

Have you left it on the charger overnight?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] RajvardhanP:
No. Just on charger for one half hour got upto 65%.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Renate:
It's probably still weak to the point of being useless.

You'll probably need a new battery if you intend to use this as a portable device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] RajvardhanP:
Any battery suggestions like company,brand?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Renate:
Battery cells are pretty much just specified by the dimensions, e.g. 255875 is 2.5 x 58 x 75 mm.

But battery packs qualify this by number of connections and type of connector.

So I'd just look for a "Redmi 4X replacement battery".
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Hi, I have an S23 Ultra (SM-S918B) and had a few questions about changing CSC.

1) I currently have XSG. I want to change to a CSC that:

- Has native call recording

- Is in the list of supported beta program regions (Check question 2)

- Is unlocked (Accepts any SIM)

- Won't cause any issues (For example some apps not working, device losing Google Play certification etc.)

- (Optional) Gets updates usually fast

Which CSC should I choose? I was thinking of INS, as it fits all the criteria, though please recommend a CSC to me.

2) On the topic of beta program, does changing CSC even allow for that? I couldn't find a solid answer online.

3) Will my warranty be voided? Again, couldn't find a solid answer.

4) Which tool should I use to change CSC? I've heard of a few but want to know which is recommended (without wiping my phone). I also have the June update (AWF1) and since updates usually tend to patch the use of stuff like this, please recommend a tool that'll work.

5) Can you guys send me a GOOD tutorial for the recommended CSC changing tool (video preferred) that has up-to-date info and has any info I might need?

6) After changing CSC, will I get OTA updates?

7) After the change, nothing will happen to my IMEI right?

8) Does this have any risks, such as the phone getting bricked? If so, how likely is it? If anyone has changed their CSC before, could you please share your experience?

9) I currently have AWF1, whilst some places like India (INS as I was thinking to change to) never got AWF1 and skipped to AWF3. Will different firmware version matter? Like will it cause issues? Or should I wait until we get the same firmware version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Uhhh anyone?

https://xdaforums.com/t/s23-call-recording-possibility-of-changing-csc.4548227/
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
1) INS or XXV. Beware of INS, it will send a msg to some indian number every time a SIM is inserted? I would recommend XXV.

For Beta, you will also need the SIM card of that country (India) to participate, so CSC change won't help, unless you also have the SIM card. Just check XDA and there will be people sharing update.zip files for the betas, you can sideload manually with adb.

2) No, unless you also have an indian sim card.

3) You can always change back to your original CSC for warranty. Even if you don't, I doubt it will void warranty since CSC change with Samfw does not impact Knox

4) Samfw tool 3.31. Don't use newer versions because they're heavily bloated, unless the 3.31 version stops working.

5)

6) Generally yes if you are on a firmware that is available for both source and target CSCs (for example AWF1 is available for both XSG and XXV). There have been cases that do not have OTA updates though, mostly with people having European carrier CSC and then change to European unlocked CSC (EUX).

7) Nope

8) There shouldn't be any risks, but always backup your phone (with Smart switch or any tool of choice) in case something happens.

9) Yes, if you are on a firmware that is not available for a CSC (for example AWF1 and INS), you will never get OTA. Unless you odin to AWF3 or any newer firmware for INS, then you should have OTA again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Thank you! This was literally EVERYTHING I needed.

A few last questions though.

1) If I "sideload" the beta program, since you recommended XXV, and beta program isn't available there, I still don't get OTA right? And I'd have to install each update manually? So after the beta program ends, I'd have to sideload the stable version before getting OTA again?

2) And also, Odin won't reset my phone right? I heard I had to use the Home_CSC file or something like that to keep my data after installing firmware with Odin.

3) SamFW 3.31 works even on the June update right? Did anybody test it?

4) And finally, if SamFW gives a FAIL, it will revert back to how it was before right?

Also, thank you for recommending XXV! It seems like it gets updates even faster than India sometimes and it checks off another thing I forgot to mention: Samsung Health Monitor - I mean, I know I could've used Dante63's version, but still.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
1. yes

2. Home csc doesnt wipe data. Csc does.

3. Not sure, you can try. If it doesn't work then download ver 4.7.1

4. Yup, nothing will happen. But if something happens, then reflash the phone with odin and restore the backup you made before.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Thank you 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Just thought I should post an update in case anybody has the same questions as me.

So, I first backed up my phone with Smart Switch, this took roughly 30 mins.

Then, I got SamFw Tool 3.31 from the link nguyenlucky gave (huge thanks to them btw)

Below is the exact process I did, though it is explained in the vid nguyenlucky sent (with just one slight difference) so I'll just put it as a spoiler.

Spoiler content hidden.

Now this is where it gets slightly different:

Spoiler content hidden.

Now, after rebooting, it auto enabled Lunar Calendar, however that can be disabled by going to Settings -> Lock Screen -> Turn off 'Lunar calendar'.

Now, changing the CSC made some elements be half Vietnamese, though not in most of the important parts. For example, it made stuff like accepting the Terms of apps or Galaxy Store app descriptions being Vietnamese.

Other than that, it works flawlessly with no issues I've noticed so far.

Every answer that nguyenlucky gave to my questions turned out to be true.

By the way, the CSC Change was done on SamFw Tool with June Security Patch (AWF1)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amk316:
did it reset you phone and have to recover backup or not
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
- nothing happened to my data

- I didn't have to restore a backup
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Yep, some stuff might be localised based on CSC, like SS pay, galaxy gift and galaxy store, but you can just ignore if you don't use them.

You can always change to any other csc you want with the samfw tool though, feel free to check them out.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MerBudd:
Hi, since you seem to know everything (lol) I had one more question.

It seems like after (and, well, sometimes before the change too, because I don't live in the UAE) I had poor signal and right now I'm only getting 3.5G speeds (at least, the indicator says so?) when using mobile data.

I tried everything, wiping cache, restarting phone, taking sim card out and putting it back in...

Could this be related to the CSC? Or maybe something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
I think so, I saw some posts mentioning CSC change affects 4G/5G. You can try others and find out the best one for you. Matching where you live might be the best. Cross check the CSC list in Samfw tool with country names here

My heartfelt gratitude to you sir.

Your prompt confident replies made my day.

I finally changed CSC of my phone from KSA>THL which enabled native dialer call recording option.

I don't know whether it'll work or not cause I haven't inserted my SIM yet.

I don't know whether there will be any network issues or not.

I don't know whether there will be prompt like "Your call is being recorded" to other party.

BUT

-Knox working

-Checked update channel, it connects to the update channel

Hello. Reading through the thread seems to be clear enough with changing CSC. I am in the US. Google Fi had a sweet deal so switched to the S23U from the P6P.

Any negative impacts to changing CSC in the US? What do we change the CSC to in the US?

EDIT: After reading further, it appears the s9180u1 cannot be changed. So lame how they lock it down in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tech.giant85:
I just checked S918O. It has available only 3 CSC which are supported but none has call recording.

Most versatile CSC is S918B S23Ultra which has multiple supported CSC.

My previous S21U has BRI CSC which is alike yours.

Bad luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Manishadlakha:
@nguyenlucky Sir

One query regarding the CSC change.

I changed my csc from XME to INS to enable native call recording. I stay in India.

I am wondering if I will get the OTA updates seamlessly or do I need to change anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Your firmware (XME Malaysia AWIF) does not match with latest INS firmware (AWIG) so OTA will not work. You need to flash full AWIG (HOME_CSC) firmware with Odin to enable OTA. No data lost.

Thank you for the prompt help. Where can I find the step by step process for the same?

Also, would it be better/easier to shift the Csc to THL or any other which will work for OTAs?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
In that case, yes you can switch to THL or XXV, they are both SEA like XME and use the same firmware, so OTA is not affected.

For Odin guide, there are tutorials on Youtube. Use the 3.14.1 version from here

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Manishadlakha:
@nguyenlucky thanks a lot Sir! Changed the csc to THL. I am hoping I don't lose on any features as such with this shift. I read Spay is not available in THL but I don't use that anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SSThing:
If I purchased a brand new phone and, at the set up stage, set my country to Thailand, would this enable call recording? Or would the CSC change as soon as I insert my UK sim card?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
S918B devices don't auto change CSC based on sim card anymore I think
