[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysticalmight:
I apologize if this has been answered previously, but i could not find the answer properly as different sources have different answers but i understand this would be the best place to find the correct answer.

From what i understand in october 2021 samsung introduced Rollback Prevention on various devices and it's variants and because of that it is not possible to downgrade the us and canadian variants of s21 ultra.

Looking around the internet for solutions has people telling me that it is not possible because it triggers hardware prevention upon downgrade and some other people "recommending me their contacts" who are able to downgrade it and root it. I would like to downgrade my firmware from May 2023 to February 2023 so i can unlock the bootloader.

Thank you for your time and any information that you can provide :)

Hello, Migrate GPE was a great software/app to back up android files. In other words, It couldn't backup w/o a root so. What program will be used for adb backup in Android or any software to best backup before unlocking? (At least no worries😇)
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] Verbato:
When it comes to SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore.

Apart from Titanium Backup, which needs root, you could try App Backup and Restore.

Though, google play store should have a list of apps you've had installed.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Mindbreaker2:
Hello,

A friend gave me a bricked oneplus 3T. It does not have oem unlocked but it’s an old os so they are flaws. I’ve tried to use edl command line tool from GitHub but nothing works for the moment. I’ve read that if I had rawprogram.xml and patch.xml I could flash my phone with edl qfil but I can’t find the files and don’t really understand everything… if someone could help or provide documentation it would be fantastic !
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Mindbreaker2:
I think my first post is not detailed enough so here’s what I’ve tried:

- MSM download tool : Sahara com failed. I’ve managed to use the oneplus 3 msm tool but obviously that did’t fix anything.

-qfil but Sahara com failed.

-GitHub edl tool. I’ve tried to flash an old OOS version to gain access to vulnerabilities but the phone still won’t boot normally.

I have access to fastboot but everything is messed up, nothing makes sense and I might have hard bricked the oneplus3T.

An odd thing is that when I try msm tool (the right one for my phone) as soon as I click start the phone gets disconnected then reconnected but I think if I was able to maintain my phone in edl while uploading it could maybe work.

Any help would be appreciate, it’s not an easy task so any information could help.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Hi everyone, I flashed my X40 several days ago, but the speakers did not work any more. These are the things I accomplished:

I unlocked my X40 but did not root it.

I downloaded the latest version of RETGB ROM: XT2301-4_RTWO_RETEU_13_T1TR33.43-20-28_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml.zip and only I only flashed the AP (OS part) of it (boot + recovery + super/system... )

During my first time flashing process, the cable lost connection. Even though I managed to recover the flashing process, my X40 kept rebooting repeatedly afterwards.

I guessed I should Factory reset to prevent the failure flashing. Whence, I utilised the commend in the flash tool to Factory reset my X40.

Then, I was able to successfully flash the GB ROM again and this time, it worked without any issues. However, upon booting my phone, I noticed that the classical hollo moto sounds were missing (the animation still existed).

Upon further inspection, I found that while all other features including mics, sensors, SIM, and Wifi were functioning properly, the speakers weren't working.

I'm looking for some advice. Could you please assist me in comparing the following options, or would you be able to share your ideas in the comments? Thank you.

To flash the XT2301-5_RTWO_RETCN_13_T1TR33.4-30-62_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip ROM back

To flash the XT2301-4_RTWO_RETEU_13_T1TR33.43-20-28_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml.zip ROM again

Waiting for the new version of XT2301-4 ROM, then flash it

Waiting for the LineageOS 20
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] TheMan4441:
Not sure why your speakers aren't working. You had to had done something wrong. I also noticed you didn't change your software channel to reteu
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Thanks for your advice. I am going to do this. Nevertheless, the software channel only affects the OTA update.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Yotoprules:
Did you get this issue sorted?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Nope. I need assistance in making a decision. Can you help me?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Knobi1205:
Did you try reflashing or going back to the CN Firmware? Just to make shure it is not a hardware defect
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
No, I was waiting for advice, but regardless I will do it today.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Yotoprules:
Try reflashing it, if it doesn't work try reflashing CN rom
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] jody2k:
In any way don't relock the bootloader, you won't be able to unlock it ever again and you might need it if anything goes wrong in the flashing process or after it.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Yotoprules:
Yeah definitely don't re-lock the bootloader.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Thanks to remind me for this.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Thank you sir.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
I flashed the EU system again. It works!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
Glad you got it working, that’s strange how it didn’t work the first time. Other then that has the phone been what you expected and does everything else work okay?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Everything else was okay. Nevertheless, several functions were lost on the EUROM. I have already posted a new thread to describe this. From my perspective, if you only require Google services, you can activate them directly in the settings. Once X40 is unlocked, the phone is unable to support both OTA and Google Pay simultaneously.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
One more question about the following update, I have successfully ported the Chinese ROM (retcn) to the European version (reteu) and changed the software channel to the reteu. If I don't relock the bootloader, my only option to update my phone is to flash the new EU-version ROM while keeping the data. Is this correct? Alternatively, can I still safely receive and install the OTA update?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] jimmie32:
Your ability to receive OTAs should be independent of the bootloader lock. Regardless, don't relock it.

Did you flash both radio and system when converting to RETEU? The OTA updates might touch radio and cause issues, although I haven't seen issues with flashing both when going between RETEU/RETCN/RETUS. But that's something to consider, I believe, and its better to flash the ROMs manually.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Understood. So, if I manually flash the new version of the ROM, shall I be able to retain the data?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] jimmie32:
Yes. The usual caveats to a dirty flash apply (one day it might stop booting properly and need a factory reset) but I think with "stock" ROMs you should be fine and can keep your data. Just don't do fastboot erase userdata or stuff like that, obviously.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leischen:
So yesterday I was surfing on my phone, when it suddenly rebooted out of the blue and got stuck in (yet another) boot loop.

I tried a soft reset (volume down + power) but after a reboot, it still got stuck in the loop.

so I tried to get into the recovery mode (bixby + volume uo) and tried the "wipe cache partition" option which allowed me to boot normally into my device. I saw all the apps and everything for about 10 seconds (it was still in the starting phase, I assume) when it froze and then it rebooted again -> and got stuck in the loop.

So now I was wondering if it is possible to restore the files on the internal storage from the Android Recovery menu?

I just upgraded my treo 700 to wm6. (heh heh) withthe stadard verizon rom. seems to be working great.

these are greyed out under sound and notifications

I could make a long (15 minute) sound that is moslty silent for that last one but makes noise at 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes

here are screenshots .

if someone have a solution... i take it.

or tell me if I can throw it away... 😂

thanks for all.

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, the X101 tablet got shipped with Android 5.1 ( SDK 22 ). Content of it's orgiinal build.prop is

Spoiler content hidden.

To upgrade tablet's OS you need to find

1. Custom Recovery suitable to tablet

2. Custom ROM suitable to tablet

Only if both found you can start upgrading, what additionally requires tablet's bootloader gets unlocked before.

Hi, i have a old stb from ZTE is zxv10 b700 v2a, is impossible to install android (or linux) on this?, i don’t which chip manufacturers on this (allwinner, amlogic, etc… bcus i can’t find anything like zxv10 b700 v2a information on google 😢)
[Android TV General] hoops420:
it would appear this unit is quite simply a basic board, very basic processor, very little flash storage(4MB) or RAM(32MB), even if you added additional storage (would require soldering skills as current USB configs wouldn't support speed/pwr requirements for what I'd assume you'd be looking to use this as) and mounted it during boot/used as system, the device still couldn't keep up, honestly it'd be unlikely to even run DOOM ('nuff said), it'd be easier sticking to what it has, or tossing and upgrading for about $100..

[OnePlus 11] surajpai524:
Unfortunately even if you boot to edl, you can't flash without Oppo/OnePlus credentials. You can personally fix your device only if you can boot to fastboot.

If you can boot fastboot. Then ownload the full OTA for your device and then use apps like Payload-Dumper or Payload-Dumper-Go to extract the payload.bin and then flash all partition manually using fastboot.

Sup Guys,

Sony is kinda low on Bloatware, but still there are a few apps i don't really want on my phone.

So i manually disabled Facebook and Linkedin.

But.... i got extremely pissed when i saw this one line in the bugreport:

Especially since you CAN'T find the appmanager in the Apps, even when pressing "show system apps"

Luckily there are cool apps like the "Universal Android Debloater" with GUI which list all app packages and even come with an included description! So no more need for manually entering all those adb commands.

So on my phone which comes with 67.0.A.4.22 "GlobalEEA-A4" these are the apps that i would recommend to remove:

com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.chromeHomepage
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
com.facebook.appmanager
com.facebook.katana
com.facebook.services
com.facebook.system
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
com.linkedin.android

Why disable the GoogleQuickSearchBox?

Because i don't like that on my Homescreen. And even if you Disable it, it still does some stuff in the background.... FU google!

So what do you guys think? Anything else to Remove?

Do different customizations have more Bloatware?
