While I was part of the Android beta program before I got into it and I didn't put on any custom ROMs or anything. So I was on a build of 14or What have you? I don't remember exactly what it was at the time.

But the forum or tutorial that I seen, Maybe I can find it and I'll send you the link, The guy said you have to root it with the seven pro image. Getting the boot image for a 6 Pro was either extremely difficult, there were a lot of issues, and it made the root almost impossible for whatever reason. That being sad he did say that the seven pro stock image would do it. I didn't believe it but I went for it and it worked. If you'd like, I can put you together a few resources that I think I can refind and I'll demon to your attachment on here.

I'm just going to start looking for the resources now. Just cuz I'm bored. I'll wait for your response.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Since you are upgrading from A12 to A13, I highly suggest you read the OP of this thread about the ARB counter in A13.

Then either follow the directions in there or use Android Flash Tool to update to A13. If you choose Android Flash Tool, it will give you an option to flash the A13 bootloader to both slots, which you should do.

I would not mess around with updating via "Install to Inactive Slot" in Magisk. Play it safe until you get the A13 bootloader on both slots so you don't brick your device. In fact, if you decided to take the OTA, I would unroot first as it would probably fail anyway if rooted. You can always re-root later.

There are other methods to update to A13 as well...

-Take OTA and then Sideload the full OTA

-Sideload the full OTA twice

-Android Flash Tool

-Pixel Flasher

I don't know how concerned you are about data. Everything will be backed up to the cloud nowadays. You could just go straight to beta 14 and lose your route now but reroot it with magisk patched boot. It worked on mine. I wish I would have been more conscientious of what I was doing while I was doing and I could give you a better, more reassuring description.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SzymcioYa:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SzymcioYa:
very, but apps are most importamt
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Using the Pixel 7 Pro boot image to root is no longer needed if using Stable Magisk 26.1 or Canary Magisk 26.104. That was a bug in Magisk that has since been fixed.

EDIT: Actually, more like a Google bug than a Magisk bug.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SzymcioYa:
yea im using v26.1 so good
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SzymcioYa:
also, theres one thing i hate about a13, and its the fact that the gesture unlock is bigger and a little more to the top, yk how to revert back to the a12 gesture unlock?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I'm not aware of any way to revert that back.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SzymcioYa:
damn, welp think i gotta get used to it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BROKEN1981:
Use Android Flash tool and have it flash both BL slots. Then just use Pixel Flasher to gain root after you are done.

Edit, you can use Pixel Flasher to upgrade and you can just flash the newest zip both times. Selecting flash to inactive slot.

I'm quite certain this is different for each individual carrier, but I just got lied to by US Mobile about their carrier aggregation support.

Their front page says they support it but support says actually they don't

Only LTE IRA whatever that is I found nothing on it.

For those of you who are interested in carrier aggregation and would like to utilize it all you need to do is set your phone to band 66, at least that's what it is for usmobile

I've connect it to PC in order to reset the firmware but I've some issues:

- the smartphone has black screen;

- I'm unable to be sure if the smartphone is turned on or off; and I'm not sure if I can boot it in boot-mode (bootloader);

- (the most strange thing) when I connect the smartphone to PC I've to press and hold the power button in order to hold connection, and the PC recognize it as "Exynos9980"

This means your device is in a special recovery mode that is supposed to be used for low level flashing, Qualcomm has something similar called QUSB.

Unfortunately, the software and files necessary to recover the device are not publicly available. The best you can do is replace the mainboard.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] varold:
I couldn't find a red mi watch 3 section so I'm writing here I hope it's ok.

My problem is

My watch keeps notifying me while I'm using whatsapp on my computer. Even on an active chat window every single message get notified by my watch. I tried so many things (like turning off other notifications etc.) but no luck. I'm not even sure if this is a watch, xiaomi, android or whatsapp problem.

So I need a workaround maybe watch notification profiles. Like home profile is different apps, street profile is different. Mi Fitness does not allow that right now but I heard there are some modded apps that lets you fiddle more things. If somebody suggest a modded app that is safe to use and better than stock app I would be glad.

Or maybe if I could exclude things from dnd mode I might let many things beside whatsapp. That would work too but xiaomi for some reason does not have that feature too.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] The Mighty Kinkle:
Hello

I have bought a new A52 5G phone and the colours on the screen are off. The bright colours are ok but the dark colours are way too dark when i compare it to my old A6+ phone. Both have an AMOLED screen.

I have included photos of the two phones side by side taken with another phones camera so you can see the difference. I have labelled them so you know which is which. I have tried to get the exposure as good as i can on the photos so they look like they do in person.

You can see that i cannot see any detail in the dark and shaded areas of the photos compared to my old A6+

Both screens are at full brightness and i am viewing the exact same photos on the same apps so they should be identical

I have factory reset it and they still look like this afterwards.

I bought it off Amazon last week thinking it was a brand new one from Samsung themselves but upon further investigation the seller is 2nd hand phone shop. It was advertised as new and the screen and case were in perfect condition. It came in a generic box with cable and charger and when i turned it on it was already partially set up and showed the main home screen straight away rather than the initial set up screen.

I was thinking about sending it back and getting a refund anyway

Thanks

It's not great in photos but the difference is very clear in person

Sorry for the late reply but it might be because of the screen being a replacement or it's just different. They look different because of how they're calibrated in the factory.

I am thinking of buying a used Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro AT&T version and only use it with Bluetooth w/ S23 Ultra.

My question is does OTA update work even if it has no AT&T service?

From my experience using old AT&T phones, OTA does not work (even through WiFI) unless you have an active AT&T service.

Also, is the watch going to have AT&T branding?

If I factory reset the watch, does it need AT&T service to be able to setup?

Hi, I want to mod my phone (Xiaomi 11T Pro), but I don't want to lose my data, and doing a backup on an unrooted phone doesn't back up all your data (like home screen, app data, etc.).

So I was wondering, if I replace the recovery.img file with twrp.img in a MIUI ROM file, then install it from the "Choose an update package" option (photo), will it install TWRP? And is it safe?

[General Questions and Answers] Avatar2:
Hi all,

I did a search before posting this but was unable to find much info that wasn't over my head.

I'm trying to get my first smartphone in 10 years, replacing an old 2G/3G phone by necessity. I live in Canada and occasionally travel to the US. In the US there is no 3G service and in Canada 3G is being phased out and should be totally offline by 2025 if my information is correct. So I want to get a (cheap or included free with a plan) phone that will still work once 3G is off, or if I travel to the US.

I'm on a really tight budget, so have been spending a lot of time researching cheap plans and secondhand or refurbished phones, and the occasional budget plan that comes with a phone included.

What I think I have discovered is that for the lower priced plans, VoLTE is not even an option - 3G only for calls, with 4G data, even though the carrier network (example: Rogers) supports VoLTE, regardless of device. So I guess the SIM card doesn't? The one budget plan company I spoke with said, they have to let me know when I sign up, that my phone will not work in the U.S. (or conceivably in Canada when our 3G shuts down, I guess? The person could not clarify their statement). And if I sign up for an expensive, 5G plan that supports VoLTE, only offered by major networks right now, I have to buy a $$$ phone from that particular carrier or else it won't work for VoLTE even if the device and SIM support it. What I mean by this is that the main carriers (e.g. Rogers, Bell) have "approved" devices that they sell, and anything not sold by them is basically blacklisted from using 5G and VoLTE. The salesperson from Rogers that I spoke to said even if I have the exact same device that Rogers sells, but I got it from somewhere else, it may not work with VoLTE on their network.

What I would like to know is if you are in a country that doesn't have 3G, and have bought a phone from eBay or WalMart or something or used a custom ROM, does it still work with your carrier? Like, is it true that carriers blacklist all devices for VoLTE? I guess they obviously don't want to be responsible if I get something that doesn't work, and they also want to push people to buy their phones, so I'm not sure how true that is.

I wonder what this means for the future of BYOD if this is true?

Can anyone help me clear up this topic? I'm so confused.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The carrier is the gatekeeper when it comes to VoLTE, regardless of whether the device supports it or not, it is controlled from their end, period. Your safest bet is to go with a device that the specific carrier of your choice offers support for. Any other recipe is a shot in the dark. You can improve your odds somewhat if you choice the right device if BYOD is the direction you want to go. It would have to be the same device name(not model number) as a device that the network supports and would have to be the same CPU architecture as the device that the network supports and it would have to support the same network type and radio bands as the device that the network supports. For example, let's say the carrier says they support Samsung S20 or Pixel 6. You would have to choose a Samsung S20 or Pixel 6 from a different carrier, it would have to have the same CPU architecture as the S20 or Pixel that they say they support and it would have to support the same network type and radio bands as the S20 or Pixel 6 that they say they support. It might not natively be supported by the carrier that you choose, you may have to flash a different modem.img or make some changes to your radio or network settings to make the device compatible with the carrier network that you intend to activate service with or to make it compatible with their VoLTE service.
[General Questions and Answers] Avatar2:
Ah that's interesting, so it is true then that carriers will be whitelisting their own devices.

Thanks for the info, appreciated. I guess buying a used or refurbished phone will be unreliable and my best/only bet for knowing a phone will work will be to get one that came with the plan from the carrier.

it's a shame that this will probably cause perfectly workable VoLTE compatible devices to go to the landfill if no carriers will support them.

[General Questions and Answers] Avatar2:
It's a 3-page essay about how manufacturers and service providers are colluding to support only a small percentage of new devices to the exclusion of slightly older, but could work anyway, devices due to politics.

When I first posted my question, I thought I must be mistaken. It's 2023. Surely the relative freedom we enjoyed with BYOD plans and being able to use our old, working phones can't be taken away by corporate greed... sigh... we are going backwards.

I may still get a cheap used old phone from eBay so I can practice tinkering while 3G is still working! But I'll have to get a plan + phone together for my daily driver to be sure that it will still work once 3G is gone. And hope that the CRTC and other regulatory agencies eventually step in on customers' behalf. 🤞
[General Questions and Answers] lm8lm8:
best thing you can do is to ensure before you bought your phone, and where you just received it, that volte is well working, by disabling 2/3G if it's possible (impossible on iphone, I dont think stock android can do it -lineageos can do it), or just simply stay in 4G coerage service to see if it failbacks to 3G while in call.

it have to be the fault of somebody. it's not a pleasure, it's a catastrophic assessement. Customer never wanted a such situation, just look around you, even on the forum, thousand of threads complaining about the lack of correct integration to LTE/5G phones..

an engineer told me mobile devices today are highly thousand more closed-source or proprietary software than the pc software of the ninety and 2000s...

[General Questions and Answers] Avatar2:
Unfortunately I just signed up for a plan (+ phone) from an MVNO, and 4G calls and 5G data are currently only provided by the major carriers and a few of their partners. MVNO are still limited to 4G data and 3G calling. (Yes, even though 3G will be gone in less than 2 years). This is how they can offer cheaper plans, I suppose.

So the extra phone I plan to buy to play around with won't really be fully testable until my carrier upgrades their SIMs or unless I borrow someone else's SIM from a major carrier. That's fine though, as I knew this in advance, and plan to spend time learning how to customize first. The good news is the phone that I got with the plan supports 5G and VoLTE, so it will certainly work when VoLTE/5G gets enabled. So I will have something that will definitely work, and a second phone that "might" work but that I can safely experiment with.

I believe it.

In the last couple days while I was doing research on this, I read that this carrier restriction only applies to Android. iPhones are not subject to it because Apple gives only one firmware version per model, while Android gives different firmware per model, region and carrier. If the firmware was unified as with Apple, then the carriers could not do this. And basically if you get an iPhone it will work with any carrier.

I think... that is how the OnePlus threads you linked to are able to get VoLTE working - they apply the specific firmware for the carrier..?

CID is locked, according ---- ---> g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF

Valid CID -----> HTCS 'í • 6HTCE?

Hard reset does not go back to SD is not because CID Locked

new flash device does not take on because CID Locked

Now I have read www.imei-check.co.uk the CID unlocken can now for 26 € I have the tool download times and started on the screen of the VPA appears everything as described (on the homepage *. UK) only when you read the IMEI .... a minute later output of the program device not connectet hmm ...

My question would be if I have a vaild CID may still have to be unlocked also my IMEI can not read I imagine this question whether I should spend 26 € and then nothing works?

would be great if I could make somebody else smile *
