I tried to connect with Galaxy Flasher 5.0 but no luck. Cellphone is connected to PC by USB cable. And I was able to get the old phone to the Download. What it says (at the top left of the screen) => Odin Mode, Product Name: SGH-T679, Custom Binary Download: No, Current Kernel: Unknown!! In the middle is the Android Robot. Below the Robot it says => Downloading ... Do Not Turn Off Target !!

While I had the phone in Download, I thought I would try the non-GUI. I changed the 51-android.rules file so it has GROUP="rbacher" Then I got to the shell and typed Connect. The result was the same as yesterday

shell> connect

~~~~~~~^

Could not find a part of the path '/dev/bus/usb'.

shell> exit

So I went to look for /dev/bus/usb' to see if I could figure out anything, but apparently my system does not have /dev/bus. I got to /dev but there's no /bus under it.

rbacher@penguin:/dev$ cd bus

-bash: cd: bus: No such file or directory

I ran ls just to double check, and there's no /bus under /dev. The version of Linux on my PC is Debian

I am going to return to the GUI Ver 5.0 to see if I can get it to detect the phone
[Android Software Development] ethical_haquer:
Galaxy Flasher still uses Thor, so I would expect you to have the same issue. What version of Debian are you using? (10, 11, etc.)
[Android Software Development] rbacher:
Version 12 (bookworm)
[Android Software Development] ethical_haquer:
Try running lsblk with your device connected in Download Mode. Then post the output here.
[Android Software Development] rbacher:
I just ran the Shell again and didn't get the previous problem, which was:

shell> connect

~~~~~~~^

Could not find a part of the path '/dev/bus/usb'.

shell> exit

Not sure why I didn't get the same result but this most recent time I got

shell> connect

~~~~~~~^

No Samsung devices were found!

shell>

Then I tried the Galaxy Flasher 5.0, and there was, similarly, no indication that it recognizes the cellphone. Of the 7 things to click on at the top (Log, Options, etc) the first four work and the last 3 are grayed out and don't work. Also, I noticed, if you start it with Odin4 previously selected in settings, the fifth button says "Help" whereas if you start it with Thor previously selected, the fifth button says "Connect." Both are grayed out whichever way I start it. I am guessing a phone has to be connected AND detected, and then the 3 tabs on the right will be functional (as the 4 on the left are).
[Android Software Development] ethical_haquer:
Based off what you're saying, with the three buttons on the right being greyed-out, I'm wondering if you downloaded the right asset. Did you download "galaxy-flasher-v0.5.0alpha-linux.zip" or "Source code (zip)" from here?
[Android Software Development] rbacher:
As I am "re-learning" my basic Linux, I actually did that about an hour ago. Just did it again. Here is what I get

[Android Software Development] rbacher:
Somehow putting it in Download Mode blocks it from being detected. Two reasons to think that -- One, on my PC at home, which has Chrome OS, when I connect the phone by USB cable, a message pops up at the lower right of the screen which says a USB Android device has been connected BUT I do not get that message if the phone is in Download Mode (I can disconnect and reconnect the cable but no message). Two, yesterday on a PC at the office with a Windows OS, I ran Odin, and it showed "connected" (or something like that) UNTIL I put the phone into Download Mode, at which point it showed "disconnected" (or something like that). Even when the phone is turned off, I still get the message on the Chrome OS computer that an Android device has been connected. But I cannot see the phone's file system on either computer, so in a sense it's not really connected. Just detected as being there.
[Android Software Development] rbacher:
The first one -- galaxy-flasher-v0.5.0alpha-linux.zip. When I run it and click on About, it shows Alpha v0.5.0
[Android Software Development] ethical_haquer:
What is displayed in the Log Tab after the app starts? Try it with both Thor and Odin4. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] rbacher:
Nothing. I tried both before. I tried again, just to be sure. A small black rectangle that flashes for a while then stops flashing. But no hint of any kind that it recognizes the phone

Today at work I made some attempts with Windows Device Manager. Samsung has some drivers, which I installed. And the phone actually shows up in Device Manager. That is, when it's off or turned on (which brings up some kind of into screen that says Samsung or something like that, which then goes away, leaving a blank, dark gray screen, not totally black like when it's off). But -- and this is the key part -- when I put it into Download Mode, it disappears from Device Manager. That's the same thing it did in Odin on Windows. There is something really weird about putting the phone into Download Mode. The Windows PC at work AND my Chrome OS computer at home recognize that an Android Device has been connected UNTIL it goes into Download Mode, at which time neither computer recognizes it any longer.

This looks awesome, I submitted my idea's about Thor_Gui when it was just ethical_haquer working on it, now it's gained interest from other developers and users things can only get better.

Hello!

OrangeFox recovery and / or TWRP are always in a black screen every time I try to boot onto the recovery, I've tried flashing vbmeta through fastboot and did no changes, also did fastboot -w to decrypt data and cache but that didn't change nothing as well.

Does anyone have any idea, fix or solution to this issue?

After a long time looking for a way to increase the brightness of my s21+ I managed to do it but you will need to buy an app from the playstore and have root.

Buy this app and configure it

I'm Newbie here at XDA and decided to create a account because I will need a Custom Rom for my phone (Realme C25s) but since there is no android 13 or 14 custom rom for my phone I'll just wait and read forums hahaha.

That's all and Thank you for your warm welcome.
[Google Pixel 8] MiRw³b:
Hey, so few hours ago, the beta of grapheneOS for pixel 8 has been released. i've installed it and it's really good.

Just doing this thread to inform you guys about it.

However, there's a few issues.

USB File Sharing doesn't works (atleast for me and some other people)

Fingerprint has some issues & there is no schema mode for lockscreen yet.

that's the only issues i know of so far. but it will be fixed pretty soon im sure.

It's great to see that there's already custom roms. even tho grapheneOS is more than a custom rom in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Wow that was quick. Glad to see the support for the P8.
[Google Pixel 8] t-ryder:
JFYI; graphene OS devs don't want their OS to be called "custom ROM". It's a full concept OS as they stated online.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Hmmm sounds similar to CyanogenMod!
[Google Pixel 8] Orphee:
Not really actually.

View attachment 6022303
[Google Pixel 8] troby86:
They can call it whatever they want, but at the end of the day, it's customized AOSP. It's a ROM. They aren't building their own OS, they are building AOSP. It's a ROM.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
What I meant was how cyanogenmod started off as AOSP with root and some tweaks and then worked it's way into the money game as their own OS. That was the only comparison I was implying.
[Google Pixel 8] MiRw³b:
i mean yea, now grapheneOS is an entire different system even tho it's still based off AOSP. due to how hardened it is, you can compare it to qubesOS but on android basically. still android, but entirely degoogled. want google play services? they have sandboxed google play service. amazing.
[Google Pixel 8] MiRw³b:
ALSO if anyone knows if there's a way to get superuser permissions on grapheneOS, it would be really useful to me. without magisk since i wont re-unlock the oem.

I myself am running Graphene OS + Root on a Pixel 4a5G. I'm still deciding between the Pixel 8 and 8 pro, but I am planning on jumping over soon.
[Google Pixel 8] Orphee:
May I ask why did you root it ?

Did you try to pass safetynet ? does GPay works ?

As it is strongly discouraged by GrapheneOS teams (for obvious reasons regarding security) this is the first OS I don't root (I usually do it mainly for firewall/adblock).

Thanks
[Google Pixel 8] i_bl00dy:
@Orphee

90% of my reason for rooting is for AD block using the hosts file. I found the VPN and DNS ways of adblocking too fiddley. Call recording using BCR is also nice. and It just doesn't feel like I own my phone if I cant access parts of the file system (Even if I don't really have a reason to need to). There is also apparently a way to get Android Auto working (on Graphene OS), though I haven't tried it yet as my car doesn't have Android Auto.

I do pass Safetynet using Displax's Safetynet Fix Module, BUT PIA doesn't even attempt to pass, just returns as unevaluated.... I might be able to pass PIA if I leave the bootloader unlocked, but I'm unsure if I want to make that tradeoff. I don't use Gpay as I don't want to tie my cards to google/wallet. Citi Bank app refuses to work at all, but I'm fine with the web version which does work. The AmEx app works but forces 2 factor every time you have to relog In. I have not really found any more apps that I am not willing to forgo if they dont work.

LSPosed doesn't work with Graphene OS probably because it is significantly different from stock AOSP. Which is a shame as I would really like to customize some portions of the UI.

I am overall happy with graphene OS with its sandbox + google services. The advanced permissions and sandboxed G services are what really set Graphene OS apart from the others.
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
I would love to try Graphene on my Pixel 8.

What I don't know is: (How) can I revert to stock ROM if I don't like it? Can I just flash the ROM with PixelFlasher for returning to stock? I'm not that savvy with android, especially when it comes to bootloader and recovery.

Other question: Is it possible to save the current state of my phone, so I don't have to reinstall and configure everything agein?

Right now I just rooted my phone with PixelFlasher and Magisk, but without TWRP recovery (which allows me to safe the current state)
[Google Pixel 8] M1chiel:

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] to learn:
A.Friends, twrp does not give any errors. 1. I entered Twrp, formatted it twice, installed 3 custom roms, I am doing these for Twrp, I am installing a custom rom from the SD card, I tried different roms, the same phone goes to my phone, but it does not help, the phone says Redmi. But when I install the original ROM, the phone turns on. I wonder if it is from twrp, then why does it open in the original ROM? Or let's say I couldn't find a suitable rom, I tried 10 roms, I downloaded them to my same phone from the same forums, but it doesn't open, it stays on the redmi text and twrp returns. My only doubt is that I unlocked the bootloader with the locked tool. I wonder if it doesn't accept other roms because it doesn't have an account? 2 I need to make settings in twrp

trying to see if I can get by without root for now. I've got youtube revanced installed in parallel with the stock system app, using a different package name and micro g. if you create a youtube revanced apk that has the same package name and signature as the stock app, this should install as an update over that shouldn't it? hence negating the need to have it installed alongside.

Get rid of original YT via adb command.

Or simply, disable it in the app manager.

[Galaxy View Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadano:
Hello All. I'm new to the forum.

I recently came into possession of a Samsung Galaxy View SM-T677A tablet.

I have a newer Samsung phone and I'm able to mirror what's on my Samsung TELEVISION screen to my phone using Samsung Smart View and selecting "Other Device -> Phone". Works perfectly.

I would like to be able to do the same thing (mirror my TELEVISION screen on the TABLET) using my newly-acquired Samsung Galaxy View SM-T677A.

It seems that no related APK works with my current TV (cant detect with Smart View) nor does any version of Smart Things work either (ST detects but wont mirror). So, I'm thinking I need an updated ROM like Lineage to enable me to install an updated version of Android to get and updated version of Smart View or Smart Things onto the tablet. However, I'm reading that the Samsung Galaxy View SM-T677A is:

a) Impossible to load the needed ROMs onto because of the AT&T issues (no unlockable bootloaders). and

b) The available new ROMs (i.e. Lineage) cant handle Samsung apps. If a new ROM cant handle the aforementioned Smart Things/View apps, then it wont be worth it for me to try.

Question: Can this be done? Has anyone out there gotten Smart View/Smart Things going on their Samsung Galaxy View SM-T677A by using a new ROM; or is it impossible due to the model I have or the Samsung app issues I'm reading about?

Any leads, advice, etc. is appreciated. Thank you.

If this is posted in the wrong forum, please let me know as well.
