[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
There is some good replies here. One of the things people here on XDA like to do is put a custom made kernel, or custom made ROMs (Read Only Memory) on their devices, and sometimes custom recoveries. That's some of the reasons you would need an unlocked bootloader besides the Su root access(elevated privileges). You can find many examples here on XDA to get an idea.

Just thought I'd share, and welcome to Android and XDA! There are many possibilities on the Android side and is why I've always enjoyed using an Android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Yeah you can't do any of that on a verizon variant....

OP @Chouuu , one thing that you can do without root or unlocked bootloader is a 3rd party launcher -- lotsa cool "tweaks" (one especially enjoyed is removing the At A Glance and/or Google Search bar at the bottom) like more icons and rows on the homescreen or some icon theming or custom grouping or something like that -- sorry, I'm going off of what I've read in the past year, it's been a long time since I used a non-stock launcher....
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mary_Jones:
I bought a Motorola Moto G a few months ago and I can't use it since it is locked to T mobile. Talked to T Mobile but they can't help me because I need to stay in their network for 365 days before they can unlock. That will not happen because I live abroad now and use a different mobile operator. The mobile doesn't ask for an unlock code, and I don't want to pay a lot of money to a third party to get it unlocked.

To my question: Is there a creative way to unlock it?

[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] soulboy2010:
Received my Fold 3 a couple of days back and loving it so far, just a few niggles and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problems. My phone doesn't go dark when I'm on a call so buttons can still be activated. I've made sure the the sensor toggle is on and I've done a test in settings menu and that says it working.

One other thing when making a call how the hell do you hang up???? I cant find anywhere on the dialer to do so!!
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] thref23:
There's an app in the Play Store named Touch Protector which will prevent accidental touches when it detects that the proximity sensor is covered. It works pretty well. I haven't found anything that will turn off the screen.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] soulboy2010:
Thanks for the reply. All sorted now, I think it happened when I downloaded the Google dialer, once deleted it was back to normal
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
After i tried to install TWRP. It keeps restarting. I tried it to boot into recovery mode and download mode but it keeps restarting. ADB also doesnt pick it up. Any advice on how to fix it? Thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] ZG_DEV:
Force shutdown the device by pressing all buttons once the splash screen appears, I think this is a normal problem since you have to downgrade your current version, whatever you have now to boot into download mode and flash stock rom using odin and... that's all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
Is it A326B?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] ZG_DEV:
Welcome to XDA world of developers🧑‍💻🌍
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
Flash the correct firmware in BROM mode using MTK client with the currently installed binary or an updated one.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
I have tried that but it won't boot into the download. It just keeps restarting. I was using this guide if you are curious:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-a32-5g-mediatek.4286631/

I will post a video later so can you see whatkind of atrocity I made.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Should i use this guide?

[GUIDE] [MTK] How to use MTKClient and set it up!

So most of you probably don't know what mtkclient is. It is basically an exploit which is used to boot any (mtk) phone into BROM mode (basically EDL for mtk) I am writing this guide especially for the RM6785 community. This tool is very useful...

xdaforums.com

Or should i download it on the web?

THx for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
Do you have the odin firmware? I can help you fix your phone remotely.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
I have the Odin3_v3.14.4 . Would that work?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
Try it out if you still have access to download mode
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Cant boot into download mode because it keeps booting into recovery mode that keeps crashing and restarts instead. It then repeats itself
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
Then you need to flash it in BROM mode.

you would need to disassemble the device to short the test point.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Should I remove something from the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Nevermind! Just booted into Download by just holding ONLY the Volume Buttons (+ and -) and then plugging the USB.

THX
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mvikrant97:
If it does boot to download mode then use samfw tool to flash in odin mode.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Finally made it into the Download mode only pressing the Volume Buttons and then plugging it in.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Downloaded the stock Firmware with Frija already and decrypted it using the SamFirm tool. All i have to do is flashing it back to normal? For example the AP.md5 file goes the AP section when i want to flash it with Odin right?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] r1pp3d2:
correct
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
Is it normal that Odin doesnt respond when I put the AP?

Edit: Yes its normal just be patient
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] r1pp3d2:
yes, it takes it a minute to process the AP file usually.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] alewo13:
It works again! Thanks guys!

[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] MrDundee:
Hi guys... I have a Mate 50 Pro... As things currently stand I'm at a dead end regarding having GMS:

1) changing region to China however I can't install harmony OS 3 on my huawei.

2) using apps like gspace or gbox the google apps (gmail and chrome) sometimes crash. YouTube at a certain point stops the videos...

What can I do to get gms? Thank you very much
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] ivica122:
if you just need gms for mail and youtube then you have good alternatives:

-Spark email client works fantastic, i'm receiving letters in less then a minute while with gmail app i was waiting for 15 minutes or more, and i'm talking about phones that has gms native. And, no, it doesn't drain my battery, at least i can't see some unusual consumption.

-Youtube - even if you have phone with gms, youtube app is full of ads and commercials, why do you want to use it anyway? I use Vanced app instead, i'm logged in with my google account but no ads. They also have alternative app for youtube music - works great for me, but for both apps to work you must install first Vanced MicroG app that controls and installs both of them. From time to time if you can't login usually means apps need to be updated, i open MicroG app and update and again all works great.

-Chrome - works good enough with Gbox, but i use Opera for years, recommend it.
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] MrDundee:
Hi Ivica122... First of all, thank you very much for your answer, for your thoroughness and clarity... :-)

I ask you: why is it no longer possible to install harmony OS 3? There is no longer the relevant entry on the myhuawei app...

Thanks again...
[Huawei mate 50 / 50 Pro] ivica122:
I have no clue about that. I'm in Europe and my OS is EMUI 13, working very well and over Gbox a few apps that need gms are working well but there are a few that has problem, for example google docs or sheets. Those i use not from app but simply open internet browser and open them as any other website and then all works well.
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
Anyone else have this issue?? I am rooted, so wondering if it could be an issue with theme or module
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
Disable your modules, reboot. Does that fix it?
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
No, I might try a factory reset.
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
Good next choice.
[Google Pixel Fold] rodken:
Don't just disable your modules and expect results. You might want to uninstall all of them and reboot. Look for any remnants before you decide to factory reset.

[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
Welp, it's repainter causing it on a14....dev is no where to found. What a waste of $ paying for this app.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krusir:
I am facing Gpay NFC does not work in official A14 with unlocked bootloader. It was working like the day I did the upgrade, then stopped working.

I had bootloader unlocked for long. I don't facing this issue when running Evolution and A13 ROM. Also working fine with A14 beta. My A14 is stock, did not root at all. If I try to re-lock the bootloader, it will erase device and I need to go over setup again. I am trying to avoid this.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gigaboss:
It is working fine for me, could be something else. What does it say?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krusir:
Device doesn't meet security requirement. I just saw Gpay had update version from google store. I updated, still the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krusir:
Also it seems Gpay did some background check sometimes. Right after reboot, start G-pay, I don't see the "Device doesn't meet security requirement"

Starting to see this "Device doesn't meet security requirement" like one hour after.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
As you have an unlocked bootloader, have you considered rooting the device? Most of us who have this issue (sometimes due to unlocked bootloader, most times because we are rooted) run a Magisk module that passes API Play Integrity checks (2 out of 3; but the 3rd "MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY" isn't necessarily implemented/utilized by most apps) that GPay/Google uses...

Be sure to use Universal SafetyNet Fix Displax MOD_1.3 (Github); the newest MOD_2.0 has shown bugs and issues with Pixel 7's...

Hope this helps and good luck!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krusir:
@simplepinoi177 Thanks for the recommendation.

The same combination of app and setting do have gpay worked when I with Evo. and A13, A14beta. But now facing this issue with A14 official. I did ADB sideload from A14beta to A14 directly. This is my keypoint to ask for feedback.

I can not root, phone need to run company portal (M$ office 365 stuff). They usually find different way to detect root and ban me. Anyway, ordered Pixel 8 Pro. My next full setup process will be the new set. Don't want to do anything which could trigger re-setup in this Pixel 7 pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krusir:
Seems fixed. I clean up storage/cache for the gpay app. Seems working good after.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I tried to activate one of my credit c ards using nfc although i have zygist and denylist active.

Hi all, i was looking into buying the 12 pro, i read it has quad speakers but gsmarena review says the speaker is not loud.

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] H4T3M4CH1N3:
It isn't super duper loud tbh. I find my previous 11T Pro was way louder than this one lol
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
If you have an "EEA" ROM, try changing the region (outside EUROPE).

"Is this true even with custom roms like lineage or crdroid?"

Nope,the sound is louder and better just like the brightness.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] nstream:
Hi, which rom has louder sound?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
LOS or Crdroid is the same (more options on Crdroid, for example Pulse).

This is a problem with ALL Supercell games since early August on some devices. See

https://xdaforums.com/t/clash-royale-latest-optional-update-crashes-on-start.4634668/

It looks like Clash of Clans got an update Oct 9. So if your device is setup for auto-update, you would have gotten this new version.

If you have discord, go fill out a bug report on Supercell's discord server.

[Windows 11] JuanSPena:
Hi Everyone,

I am currently using a M1 IMac and I need to get a software called CDK DMS running on it.

I have Windows for arm running on Parallels and everything is installed.

However, CDK was developed for Windows 98 and its a patch-job software if I have ever seen one.

It runs on Internet explorer!

So I installed it and everything addition outdated software it needed. BUT now it says my OS is not supported.

Which is complete BS. I can tell the only reason it does not let me run it is because it puts up a flag if the software conditions are not met. Dumbest thing ever.

So I need help. I have delved into the code and see that it check the OS. But I want to know how I can trick it to working and thinking I am on regular windows and not windows for arm.

Any help would be very helpful. Since there tech support came up with 30 excuses of why they couldn't just disable the flags and at one point suggested I get my IT department to do so. Like if my IT department programmed CDK.

View attachment 6019305
[Windows 11] KnightRider01:
Windows on Arm already has an emulation layer. I don't think that is the problem.

I think your problem is that the Software is checking the OS and expecting to get "Memphis" back or version 4.10 or build 1998, maybe even all of that. Windows 11 is identifying itself with Windows Version 10 and Windows 10 with NT 6.4. This software doesn't know that this versions exists, so you have a wrong OS. If you can see the code, check what the software is expecting to get back from the check, maybe you can change that...

BTW. Have you tried the compatibility modes in Windows? You can set it for every *.exe (right-click on the file, settings, compatibility, set it to Windows 98/ME, maybe that helps)

Also, if you have installed a 64Bit version of windows this software will never start, it doesn't know that a 64Bit version exits.

Probably the best solution would be to install Virtualbox or something like that and set up a Windows 98 Virtual Machine.

Edit:

Sorry that I didn't think of it sooner, unfortunately you can forget about bypassing the OS check, event if you can manage it, the software won't work. The reason for using IE back in the day was ActiveX. Since ActiveX was a security nightmare (even worse than flash) Microsoft ditched it. Even if you could get ActiveX to run on a modern Windows, all the API calls would be wrong and every IE above 6 couldn't handle it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AnimeLabs1:
Hey XDA community!

I've been using my trusty Samsung Galaxy S8 for a while now, and I've been eyeing the "Calls & Text on Other Devices" feature from One UI 3.1 that allows you to make and receive calls and texts from other devices connected to your phone. It's a pretty nifty feature, and I'm wondering if there's a custom ROM available for the Samsung Galaxy S8 that includes this feature.

I've done some research, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. So, I'm turning to you, fellow Galaxy S8 enthusiasts, for some guidance. Have any of you come across a custom ROM that brings the "Calls & Text on Other Devices" feature to our beloved S8? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience and let me know where I can find it.

Also, if you've tried such a ROM, please share your thoughts on its stability, performance, and any potential bugs or issues you encountered. I'm sure others in the community are curious about this too.

Thanks in advance for your help, and let's keep the Galaxy S8 development community thriving! 🚀📱

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] agentsky:
If you are going to upgrade to AT&T 8525 WM 6 official ROM then no need to do a HARDSPL but if you are going to used WM 6 Cooked ROM then it is a MUST to do a HARDSPL.

AFAIK

HardSPL will allow you to flash your unit with a unofficial release ROM or Cooked ROM, or even the other brand official ROM as long as it is for Hermes.
