[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] mrmcgamer123:
Hello guys,

I've been trying to flash the official LineageOS on my Redmi 9 (lancelot/galahad). I've already unlocked my bootloader and followed the official guide from Lineage but I can't manage to flash my recovery in order to adb sideload the zip image. The flashing process itself works, but when trying to boot to my recovery (holding Vol+ when starting, the Mi logo shows but nothing happens until my phone reboots again...)

Even when trying to flash a custom TWRP build (like this one: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-redmi-9-lancelot-twrp-for-android-11-12.4469571/) the following happens when I try to reboot to recovery:

fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery

It seems like my phone does not know how to reboot to recovery??? How does that make sense? The flashing onto the recovery partition is successful tho..

I tried directly booting from my image which leads to this error:

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.515s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 9.540s

I am stuck here... I would really like to run flash Lineage but don't know how to proceed..

I've heard about vbmeta but don't really know what it really is. Do I need to flash something else to bypass some kind of validation layer??

Any help would be appreciated as I am not an experienced phone flasher :)

Thank you guys!

Did the phone screen show "FASTBOOT" (correct) or "FASTBOOTD" (does not work)?

I wrote instructions how I did it in April. Give it a try.

Botloader kilitli açılmıyor realme GT 2 pro da botloader kilidi nasıl açılır .? Bilen birisi yokmu ?

Botloader kilidi açılmadığı için telefonu satacağım ve geliştirici yok.

Xiaomi alacağım realme çok kötü . Geliştiriciler yok . Botloader açılmıyor .

Nokia 3310 daha iyi

Mod translation: Botloader is not unlocked How to unlock botloader in realme GT 2 pro? Does anyone know?

I will sell the phone as the botloader is not unlocked and there is no developer.

The realme I'm going to buy Xiaomi is very bad. There are no developers. Botloader won't open.

Nokia 3310 is better

Hi guys!

Picked up a Android HU for my Volvo v60 2012.

The dealer www.24.se doesnt list any info on the manufacturer nor have given any information.

What I know so far is that the HU have the UIS7862A chip based on a .dmp file I found on the device.

It also got a built in canbox(MCU?)

The rest is unknown for me!

Wanted to update it and fully unlock it etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] vachigaggl:
I am on a (refurbished) Samsung S21 with Android 13 with stock ROM.

I have used the guide on my mobile provider's homepage to set up my APN settings precisely as given there.

With that done (or alternatively, when using the slightly different settings provisioned by the provider over the air), I can browse the web on the phone in my home country and abroad, and I can create a mobile hotspot ("tethering") within my home PLMN but:

I cannot share my internet connection using the "mobile hotspot" functionality outside of my home country - tethering does not work, although EU laws mandate discrimination-free use of the data bundle.

Interestingly Tethering works on other (Xiaomi) Android devices.

Things I have tried that work:

- tethering while not roaming: works

- tethering of other WiFis (the S21 can share other WiFi networks that it is connected to): works

- tethering in roaming: DHCP address gets assigned to client of mobile hotspot

Things that do not work:

- pinging domains (cannot resolve)

- pinging 8.8.8.8

- pinging the IP of the mobile (= gateway)

- traceroute only has * * * for me

- traceroute -v shows:

72 bytes from <mobile-ip> to <client-ip>: icmp type 3 (Dest Unreachable) code 0

Of course I see 2 culprits:

- my mobile provider's APN (but what core network configuration would cause this?)

- Samsung's tweaks (unclear to me, does anyone have details?) to Android's native tethering.

The only workaround I could find that works for me (Bluetooth sharing also does not work) is to run Every Proxy on the phone and configure it as HTTP/HTTPS proxy in my hotspot client's OSses (worked on MacOS and Android).

Due to the lack of alternative ROMs, I am close to selling the S21 again. Does anyone have the same problems (no tethering possible abroad on current Android?)

Provider: hollandsnieuwe (NL) using 3G/4G in other European countries like France, Belgium, Spain

Phone: Samsung S21 5G

Android version: 13
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] robnitro:
Try and copy your apn for roaming and add dun to APN type.

Example : default,supl,mms,xcap,dun

I was able to roam and tether even on another continent a few months ago by doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] vachigaggl:
You are my hero. That is the solution that the useless customer service did not want to give me.

Hi, i got a few questions for my Touch HD.

1) What do i need to install in order for my browser to have JavaVM, basically i need it for internet banking.

2) What do i need to install to watch RMVB movies? I read that there is a plugin for mediaplayer but it is not usable in HD.

3) What do i need to install in order for my browser to support flash?

Pls help me...Thanks

Skyfire will run if you run WVGAFIX3 (see the Development and Hacking forum), which changes your screen in to VGA.

Does anyone know where I can get galaxy s5 kitkat firmware? I know SamMobile has it, but I don't have money to pay to download the file straight off their server. Any help is greatly appreciated

[Galaxy S 5 General] V0latyle:
You don't have to pay, they have free memberships. I hate that an account is required, but at least you don't have to pay for it and the free download speed is still decent.

Otherwise, you can use Samloader or Frija.

It looks like SamFW has older firmware from 2014. Since all of these have release dates before Nov 2014, when 5.0 was released, they should all be 4.4:

[Galaxy S 5 General] V0latyle:
There's other sources for Samsung firmware, although I don't know how trustworthy they are. I wish Samsung would just make firmware publicly available themselves but the only way to get firmware direct from them is Frija or Samloader.

[Off-topic] espionage724:
Sounds like PC "gamers" trying to latch onto something new now that games are exploding VRAM requirements for no reason. Apparently some people need to be told to set above 60Hz on the expensive 300Hz+ screens they buy :p

I get "Calculating Hz" on Firefox with a Oneplus 6, but at the bottom it shows 60Hz. On a C2D 2010 MBP I noticed it advertises 61Hz and feels smoother than 60Hz on Intel UHD 630.
[Off-topic] LeDjibrilSur90Hz:
And... Is that 59.94 like NTSC? 59.8 like the 7 Pro?

Try again on Google Chrome and you'll see the result.

Also 61 Hz sound like normal OnePlus 7's refresh rate (60.9 Hz).

I haved too 61 Hz without decimals, but with decimals it's 60.68.

Idk man, every AAA game I've seen isn't optimized (Jedi Survivor, cough cough EA). And this isn't a new phenomeon, it's called greed. Games nowadays are launched in a half-ready state to be promised to improve "over-time" with updates for no reason. And don't disrespect PCMR like that if you don't know the whole background to this issue, thank you.
[Off-topic] espionage724:
Lol; I remember playing Guild Wars 2 at launch; as-beautiful as that game was, across 3 screens at 5040x900 Eyefinity, I was using around 1GB of video memory. In 2022 at 4K it was still under 2GB VRAM usage, and that game has a ton more going on graphically than most games today soaring past that usage with pre-baked assets.

Now some no-name one-shot "AAA" games today somehow struggle with 8GB today at 1080p lmao. I fully blame "PCMR" for bringing up fake discourse over 8GB+ VRAM between Ampere and RDNA2+, and now causing devs to just artificially inflate VRAM usage because that's what's cool today. Apparently nobody cared when multiplayer-only CoD took up 200GB with largely video and audio assets for only a single language, so lets just inflate everything as if the store-model 1080p screens most people have can even show a difference :p
[Off-topic] fillwithjoy1:
Maybe game devs being lazy could be part of the equation...?
[Off-topic] espionage724:
Nope, or else this wouldn't still be an issue after all these years :p

People are signifying it's ok by continuing to buy the games, and majority of people are enjoying the experience so there's really not an issue. Developer and game studios ultimately want to provide games people want to play and ideally continue to spend money in.

The same people complaining about artificial VRAM usage should be more concerned with refunding and not supporting the developer or publisher with future titles, instead of creating YouTube videos with advertising revenue that only serve to entice that us-vs-them mentality and rile others to view more videos.

That one image of the CoD boycott on Steam showing almost everyone playing CoD showed the irony of this years ago, and even the large outcry of people with Diablo 3 preorders hasn't dissuaded the majority of people from preordering. Is it easier to be a victim than to do something?

It takes more effort to inflate unrestricted VRAM usage and hope for the best than it is to compess or use reasonably-sized textures and assets. But players like seeing high VRAM usage numbers in Afterburner OSDs, so your game better compete with other inflated games to be relevant on PC. And on sane gaming devices that don't expose such nonsense to end-users, you can respect the platform's reasonable specs and not be wasteful.
[Off-topic] fillwithjoy1:
Sure sure, EA's Jedi Survivor ran at 30fps on a RTX 4090, a 4090. Of course it's the consumer's fault for not buying enough EA's games, that's why 🙄

Definitely not the game developer's fault for optimising their content
[Off-topic] espionage724:
It's the consumer's fault if it's still running at 30 FPS over 100 days later, because if everyone experiencing unexplainable performance issues would have refunded, the game would either be fixed or not exist on PC anymore. If you give money for laziness, and continue to give money for laziness, is it a wonder why you continue to get laziness? It's cheaper and even less effort not to be a willing victim :p

So either that one specific situation is grossly exaggerated, or "PCMR" doesn't care because it's inflating VRAM usage to their liking and like having unplayable paid games sit in their library.

It's like bots and RWT in MMOs. They only exist because players want them to. The company can do everything in their power to ban players that take part in it, but RWT sites only exist because players of the game use and fund them. Self-sabotage :p
[Off-topic] fillwithjoy1:
idk man, people aren't buying aaa games nowadays. What's that? Oh I heard, BattleBit Remastered has more players than Battlefield 2042? Oh, I wonder why...
[Off-topic] espionage724:
People have more fun playing games out of spite than enjoyment :p

I never heard of BattleBit, and some Steam reviews show exactly that with people comparing it to BF2024 and Dice. Sure enough the type of community that atmosphere draws is even apparent in Steam discussions.
[Off-topic] fillwithjoy1:
so what's your point?
[Off-topic] espionage724:
Gaming and particularly PC gaming, along with PCMR sucks today and is largely driven by bad-intent and manipulation by players, and not developers/publishers/companies.

Some thousand fake reviews to try to imply some unheard of low-poly game is better than a AAA Battlefield game released almost 2 years ago is a joke, and the bad intent of that is incredibly obvious with the kind of community it cultivates. If that's what people call gaming nowadays, it sucks.
[Off-topic] fillwithjoy1:
Explain one piece of evidence where players were the main cause of PCMR's downfall.
[Off-topic] espionage724:
I was looking through old videos and actually found where I recorded this :p Turns out even 1GB of video memory was an exaggeration; I was only using around 300 MB at that resolution, max Textures, and even Supersampled, all on-video real-time, and even getting decent 50-60 FPS. At the time I believe I had either a HD 7850 or R9 380 or something but it wasn't even a high-end GPU.

I still stand by PC gaming in 2023 to be an absolute joke and VRAM inflation being real.
