[General Topics] Wish I Knew A Lot More:
I have a Gen 5 Fire 10 and a Gen 7 Fire 10. The Gen 5 is very slow. The Gen 7 has a glitch where the keyboard shows up every time I select a story in the MSN feed. I did a "reset to factory defaults" and "restore" on both tablets. The Gen 5 is a little better. The Gen 7 was good for a couple of days, but the MSN glitch returned.

I came across a youtube video with instructions on using the Amazon Fire Toolbox to upgrade the Fire tablet to Android. Will the toolbox work on my old versions of Fire tablets?

I have another question, which I think is easy to answer and hope it is okay to ask one get one free in the forum. I have a second Gen 7 Fire 10 that has nothing except vertical lines on the left side of the screen and nothing on the right side. Is this Fire toast? No pun intended.

Thank you very much.

I'm getting error messages when doing the latest incremental update of OnePlus 11 (CPH2451_13.1.0.591(EX01). I'm using custom recovery (Orangefox). Is there any way to revert to stock recovery and make incremental updates? Would it be possible to update via OTA to the Android 14 beta version?

In oxygen updater app i can see full OTA update for open beta Android 14.
[Google Pixel 7] nishant079:
I am trying to obtain a CP Ramdump for the modem on Pixel 7 similar to Samsung phones. I have a rooted pixel 7 with stock recovery and magisk.

I have tried using the ussd codes *#9900# but that shows up invalid (I am guessing it only works for Samsung phones). I came across another code *#*#5096#*#*, which seems to be recognized by the dialer but nothing happens(I type the code, it disappears and nothing happens).

Anyone knows a way to get the CP Ramdump through an adb utility or ussd code? Also can I maybe force the modem to crash and somehow obtain a Ramdump that way and if so, does anyone know a way to do that ?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
Pixels and Samsung are completely different. By "CP" what do you mean?
[Google Pixel 7] nishant079:
By CP I mean the communication processor or the baseband modem. I know in the pixel there is the tensor module, that has the exynos 5300 modem in it, I am just trying to get a Ramdump for that modem.
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
Oh. Download the factory firmware package, the radio image is in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] JimSmith94:
I had planned to trade in my old Huawei smartwatch on a Watch 6 Classic, but even with a new battery it won't boot. If you expand the trade-in details near the bottom of this page: https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/galaxy-watch6/buy/ it says, if "Samsung determines your device does not meet all eligibility requirements, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase minus $25."

Does this mean that I would get charged back $75 of the $100 trade-in and still end up with a $25 credit for my non-working watch? If so, that's probably more than it's worth and would beat throwing it away.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] JimSmith94:
SOLUTION: I asked this question in a chat with Samsung and here is their response.

(16:27:14 GMT) Jeremiah Ashley San Luis: Regards your question yes.

(16:28:41 GMT) Jim Smith: Thanks! Just to verify, I can send in my non-eligible watch and still get a $25 credit?

(16:28:56 GMT) Jeremiah Ashley San Luis: Yes 😊️

Has anyone else done this? If so, I'll probably give it a shot!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cuong-nutz:
I have an unlocked Note 9 with AT&T and I never knew I needed Wi-fi calling until I changed jobs.

Could I download the firmware from a locked AT&T note 9 and install it my unlocked note 9?

Any tips, software and software to make this happen? Both baseband are 9 bit so I'm assuming I could use modded Odin. I just need to know how do I go about downloading the firmware from the phone.

I'm assuming all the hardware are the same and storage size difference should not matter right?

Snapdragon to Snapdragon.

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
i think u can

but keep in ur mind u may face a brick, so download a stock frimware of the unlocked one, also if u r rooted i can give u a module to force enable wifi calls + volte

so u don't have to flash and go through a way that u don't know its end
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nguyenlucky:
yes, go to samfw.com and download latest N960U SPR firmware, then use patched odin to flash it. Use CSC file, not HOME_CSC and ignore the USERDATA file.

The process will wipe your data so make a backup first. Even though it's Sprint firmware, putting the ATT sim in your phone will provision it to ATT software, as U firmware is designed for all US carriers. The USERDATA file is just carrier bloatware that will be downloaded automatically after provisioning. This won't lock your device to ATT network.

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cuong-nutz:
I've done that before and it doesn't work like that or at least the few times I've tried. Most I've read says it's imei related if it's not an AT&T branded phone. My unlocked phone is an unlocked Verizon branded that I replaced to unlocked Canada freedom mobile. I have VOLTE just no wifi calling.

Since AT&T doesn't release their firmware, I figure this may be the reason no one has been able to get it to work. The last firmware was oreo and that was many bits ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nguyenlucky:
Do it again, this time use Samfw tool to manually change CSC to ATT after flashing the U firmware.

If not working maybe contact ATT and ask them to whitelist your IMEI

[Xiaomi Pad 6] 2ndIdentity:
Hi all,

I have gotten myself a Xiaomi Pad 6 in July 2023 and while I am impressed with the hardware, I have been struggling with my files getting deleted.

Specifically, only the files are getting deleted while the folders are not.

Model: CN model

Bootloader: Unlocked

MIUI version: 14.0.8 Global (TMZMIXM)

I am having this issue even with earlier MIUI versions on the device.

I observed that files added shortly after the device is set up are not deleted while newer files added a few days after the device is set up are deleted.

File format deleted: .pdf, .7z, .flac

File size deleted: 2MB - 250MB

I have wiped and re-flashed the ROM, and the issue remains where newer files are getting deleted.

I have also made a few test folders and added test files to them at different time intervals so that the folders' last modified times are different.

Two of the older test folders were cleared.

Based on the updated last modified times, both the older test folders were cleared at the same time, suggesting a periodic scan and clean was carried out (I could be wrong here).

The more recently modified test folders are not cleared yet.

Is there anyone else facing the same issue?

Any advice on how to resolve this?

Any advice to track which app / process is deleting the files?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] starlord7544:
I am also facing the same issue, if you have found any solution, kindly share it with me.

I am using indian version of xiaomi pad 6, stock miui.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] pl1992aw:
Inside "Security" there's setting to "boost" tablet, which will delete some "junk" files.

Also check in system "Setting" > "Storage", there might be option to "freeup storage" or someting similar.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] blackhawk:
After you reflashed what did you install?

What backup data did you import?

Are any cleaner utilities installed?

Possible rogue 3rd party app or malware.

Less likely; badly coded firmware or a hardware failure.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] kittokokoro07:
I also had the same issue with my Xiaomi pad 6 it usually delete certain type of pdf files.

it has something to do with the MIUI, I'm very frustrated, actually bought this tablet to save time to study but now i spend more trying to find my deleted file which was never successful.

also all of the system apps invade my privacy, it doesn't only keep a recording of my files, it copy the file itself and store it to android folder, which cannot be access by file manager.

it made me feel like I've bought a device to cook myself. I'm not buying Xiaomi products again until they fix this privacy issue.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] InContext:
It's definitely an OS thing, pissed me off so much in the beginning when a whole folder disappeared.

The main section is under: privacy protection - privacy - detect privacy risks. Cleaner is the main culprit but as you can see the others can also play a part.

The problems arise when miui puts up the 'security risk' alert, which then brings up a screen that has an almost vague description sometimes and a tick circle, you leave it green is you want to delete stuff, click to clear, and you'll notice the total amount that can be cleared decreases.

As to how to turn it off: have fun, there are so many sections with notifications, and permissions, you never know if you get them all until the notifications stop happening.

I also use UADng to 'debloat' anything and everything. Nothing is ever actually deleted, it's done on a user basis, which means that if something goes wrong (back up before you use it), you do a factory reset and everything will be restored.

I suggest the last app you use first, before you even put anything else on your device. If like me and you get a little 'delete' happy, you'll find you then have 'lost' stuff you need. I tend to do a handful at a time, and reboot to check the progress. There are also logs that give you the ability to figure out what app may have been the 'do not delete' one, as it's not always best to follow exactly what is in the numerous lists, and even in UAD itself (it's a work in progress, and we are all human).

Al final debe decir Success

I'm able to mount system.img as read-only, but it's giving me "bad fs type" error when I try to mount it as rw.

I've been reading how to do it in the previous version, and it seems like people recommend extracting it using sim2sim and mount it as rw?

Has anyone mounted a recent Android system image as write?

Hi, is there any chance to install the Watch5 Pro's "turn by turn" sport navigation feature ( alias route tile) to Wacth6. I mean the Health app's feature, not the Google map's. Maybe sideload or somesuch.

Through a trick it is already possible, if you have your phone with you. Save the route of your exercise. Then start a new exercise and choose the saved route as route goal (my translation), but in reverse order. It will give spoken turn by turn guidance on your watch...

As title said, I rooted my Nothing Phone (2)using KernelSU. Normally I can pass both security check after root using Universal Safetynet Fix,But I tried 3 versions (kdragon, Displax, chiteroman)+Shamiiko and still failed the check.

Once again, for the Displax mod to work, you must have Zygisk, which is only natively supported in Magisk. If you won't use Magisk, try this to provide a Zygisk environment for Magisk modules.

Already enabled.

And I still don't know why it failed...

After I rollback ,it just ask me to relock🤔

[Nothing Phone 2] V0latyle:
Stop checking SafetyNet. It is obsolete, most apps only use Play Integrity now.

An unlocked bootloader will always fail unless a fix is used. My only suggestion is to try using Magisk.

But...still

nothing works even I switch to Magisk...

I notice that most of the custom rom on my last phone would have something that can help me pass🤔

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Hi everyone. I'll be receiving my new U1 S23 Ultra tomorrow and was wondering what would be the best method to transfer everything from my S22 ultra to it. I've normally used Smart Switch in the past but I've been reading here that sometimes files might get corrupted requiring factory resets in the future although I've never experienced anything remotely close to this happening in the past.

What is everyone's preference for the most part? Swift backup for example, some other means or should I just stick with smart switch?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] runs:
S switch assistant is the best others app don't have permission to Android/data folder
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
So samsung smart switch?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Smart Switch makes the most sense. I just switched to the S23U from the last two Pixels, and so Android's built in backup works well too. Just note, that as @runs had said, only Samsung's Smart Switch has access to the data folder. With Google's native Android backup, no app data will be backed up or restored. You will have to sign into and configure every app again. The good thing about Google's native backup is that it always restored my device configuration (QS tile location, app location, etc). But, of course, I don't think those settings would be restored in the same way on a Samsung phone that they were on the Google Pixel phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
I had to do a factory default this week (battery drain after the September security patch...FFS, not fixed after reset) and used Smart Switch with an NVME SSD in a USB-C 3.2 enclosure. 130Gb in 18 min, with a lot of files ( music and pics), 150 apps.

Highly recommended for peace of mind...1TB cost me around 50$.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Surprised that smart switch has really improved and is the preferred choice by folks that have responded to my question here. I guess the days of corrupted files and apps are in the past and there's not really a need for a clean install anymore which is really cumbersome anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] respect911:
Well. in my case, i have moved files from s7 edge to 20 note and had a huge headcache when got battery drain and apps crashing. Wiped all and after clean install everything worked like a charm.

From 20 note to 23 ultra same. Got issues with battery and apps crash. Again Wiped.

Now, i have moved with samsung native app.

Why its happened ? Have no idea .

Wipe and clean install with configuring everything is a best for me . Unforunately no option for TWRP backup ( becouse this is really the best option for backup. )

Keep in mind doing backup on some SSD as Ipse_Tase mentioned . Good luck!
