Unfortunately none of the apps I import work, they either hang or crash.

App Permessions checked, i have no clue ..

maybe Android 14 ?

I may need to test Android 14, but there's no guarantee it will work currently.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wjuwale:
Hi Experts,

I'm planning to buy S23U from UAE but I'm confused as there are 2 options 1 is the UAE variant and then there is an international variant. Not sure which region the international variant is from if any one can share this information would be good as I plan to use the phone in India. so then there are some questions.

1. Will 5G work in any of the the above variant natively or we need to change the CSC to India version for 5G to work.

2. Can we use SPay and banking apps in any of the variants natively or this will again need just CSC change or also a firmware change. and will these work correctly after CSC or firmware changes.

3. If I do a CSC change only will I receive auto updates from India or I will not receive any updates and I need to change it to original CSC for updates or firmware change is needed for auto updates

4. If there is issue with the mismatch of the latest India firmware and the firmware I install then do I need to keep changing the CSC just for auto updates.

I need to know whether international is better or UAE variant is better.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Both are the same, just get whichever is cheaper. Then flash the full INS firmware and change CSC to INS to use however you want in India. OTA will be normal according to India schedule after CSC change.

Almost all S918Bs are the same actually, with dual physical SIM and eSIM support (except Australia where S918B is only single physical SIM and eSIM)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wjuwale:
Thank you for quick reply really helpful
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] runs:
may not work on 5g ,you should compare bands
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
@wjuwale I see you posted this question twice. Please do not post more than once, duplicate posts are prohibited:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wjuwale:
I posted this by mistake as I have posted in xda forums for first time I will take care of this going ahead Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
all S918B have the same bands
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I have a UAE S23U and Jio 5G works well with it. Spay is limited to UAE banks as it's linked to the CSC. But you can always use Gpay which is far superior to Spay in India. As for updates, it doesn't matter since the phone runs OXM roms and you will get updated within a day or two of the release regardless of the CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mustaph12:
May you please explain what is "INS firmware" ?

And what is the benefits of changing INS to India?

I am in Saudi Arabia using UAE version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
You can use call recording, Samsung pay and other Indian-specific features. You won't need them probably since you're not living in India.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wjuwale:
Thanks for the response. I basically would prefer the SPAY as I have galaxy watch 4 which I currently use and with SPAY that would be seamless. In GPAY I am not able to add most of the Indian bank cards also I don't know if this is an issue as I can only add certain VISA cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Gpay works with the galaxy watch too...I'm not sure why you can't add cards to Gpay. I'm really not sure how well would a UAE/International device with Spay work in India. It's usually linked to the csc. Here's my experience - I had changed the CSC from XSG to DBT inorder to get faster updates. With this, I got the updates faster but it broke the Spay on the device. I couldn't add my local (UAE) bank cards to the Spay in the ROM. This experience is from my time using S21U. I'm assuming it's the same now as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PriT3sH:
@nguyenlucky Does it also applicable for S9180 Model? Can i flash with S-9180B INS Firmware... would it allow me call recording, Samsung Indian wallet version and e-sim? any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PriT3sH:
Anyone please help as if it's working then i need flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Nope..918O and 918B are 2 different devices. You can't flash INS firmware on it without bricking the device. 918O is US/Canada specific and it doesn't follow OXM roms. INS is part of the OXM rom list and you can flash it on any 918B/D device irrespective of the csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PriT3sH:
Okie, Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
9180 is China/HK/Taiwan device actually
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wjuwale:
Thanks all I was able to change the CSC and firmware to INS successfully. Also thanks to @bredzpro for his simple YouTube tutorial on how to do this
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
Hey everyone, I need some advice on updating my Moto X40. I plan to grab the latest ROM from this address: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/

Here's my question: When an OTA update becomes available in the settings on the stock RETEU ROM, I won't be able to install it since I have an unlocked bootloader and a rooted phone. Can I patch the init_boot.img file using Magisk and then flash that file using these commands: 'fastboot flash init_boot_a /path/to/patchedmagisk.img' 'fastboot flash init_boot_b /path/to/patchedmagisk.img' Will this process allow me to update my phone while retaining root access? Also, do I need to perform a full factory reset afterward? If so, what's the ADB command for that?

Are these steps the same for the unofficial Lineage OS ROM? Only difference being the different website I'd get the latest ROM patch from?

Thanks!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Knobi1205:
This part is kind of right and wrong. You can use OTA to update your phone to the latest official Motorola firmware AND keep root access but you need to install them via magisk. This way you dont have to do a reflash or factory reset and it will keep all you data. There are tons and tons of guides in the internet. But that should be all needed stepps:

1. Open the developer Seetings and disable the automatic system update. This way the phone is only donwloading the OTA files and nothing else no restart or something (we need this later). If the phone is somehow able to install the update and restart right now you will lose root or even worse!

2. Open magisk an click deinstall Magisk and restore the Image. That way the phone is able to get the OTA files via the normal Update Menu ( and no Error in the Motorola Update Screen). Then go to the update menu and let the Motorola do its thing. Again: At this point DO NOT use the Restart button in the offical Motorola Update Screen after the OTA files are downloaded!

3. Open Magisk again and install magisk in inactive slot (after OTA)

4. Let Magisk do its thing an restart the phone (button will appear)

5. After the Restart the phone should work like normal and the update process will continue like on any other non-rooted phone

hope this helps and if you need more info here is a full guide ---> https://droidwin.com/install-ota-rooted-android/
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
Thank you so much this is massively helpful! The linked article helps me understand it way easier too! After doing some research and reading through the threads on here, it doesn't sound too difficult. It seemed quite overwhelming for someone who's never modded android properly before. I really appreciate your help on this. I'll definitely stick with stock RETEU ROM for now until the official Lineage OS release, so I don't have to worry about flashing newer updates.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
To unroot the phone would I flash the init_boot.img file from the stock Rtwo RETEU ROM folder and then factory reset? Just so I know for future reference.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] vo1dd:
Hi Everyone,

I have a LG velvet 5g G900N running stock rom Android 10 SKT and bootloader is also locked. I have tried replacing my imei using LGUP pdm mode. Everything goes well but the pdm.txt returns these two :

250-72-0,IMEI Write,1

250-72-1,IMEI Read,invaild response - 355************

I have tried it two times. LGUP flashed the rom successfully but it returns the old imei instead of the new one.

I have also tried putting the phone in blue screen (I suppose we call it pdm mode) mode and then connecting to the serial port using KiTTY/PuTTY, Both of them connect successfully to the serial port but the KiTTY/PuTTY terminal is unresponsive and doesn't do anything at all.

Can anyone help me in this regard ? I want to change imei of my device.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
Hello and good afternoon, @vo1dd Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.

However, I've closed your thread! Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

Please refrain from such support requests on XDA in future. Thanks for your cooperation!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
Any kernel or ROM else ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:

[Kernel] Kirisakura_Raviantah is that kernel can activate 5g ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
Still can't find any solution to activate 5g in my phone even after root
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
Check this

Activate 5G on non-5G Country

Hey, this tuto is working for several user to activate 5G on unsupported 5G country by Google. You need : Rooted phone, 5G Plan, 5G Coverage. STEP 1 : Install the module on magisk to activate VOLTE and reboot. STEP 2 : Install Network Signal...

xdaforums.com
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Yes, as @Jwtiyar showed, I was just about to say that I believe modules (Magisk or maybe other [LSPosed, Xposed, etc.]) accomplish this, not necessarily custom kernels or ROMs....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
i don't think its kernel based issue, Also i use this now for enabling LTE it also added 5G option to network selection but i don't need it because my country doesn't support 5G.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
View attachment 6022942I try it but not working with android 14
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
Even 5g option not available

View attachment 6022944
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
First it mentions you should reboot more than one time until will be enabled, secondly may be check your carrier because software is shows it and may be coverage of 5g is not available in your area.

EDIT:

As i see you are using STC, Check their website if their coverage is available in your area

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
maybe show the logs for the module (I don't know if it's Magisk or LSPosed or something)....see if/that the module is installed and running properly and as intended...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
You mean this
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qwe654:
It's cover it's work with other phone's
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
It is probably because they use stand alone 5g (SA) and p7p only works with NSA. Network Signal Guru, as mentioned before, can force SA to work. I used it in China, but really did not see much difference between 5g and 4g service.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm unsure....I never needed the alternative option since I'm in the US on Verizon network....

I just know from me wandering the threads (mainly Pixel, but Magisk forum as well) that members have been achieving it through modules rather than custom kernel or ROMs -- one of which is what Jwtiyar brings up in an earlier post. I couldn't say (because I can't recall and because I've never needed use of it myself) what modules exactly (I'm glad Jwtiyar does with one earlier).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
Did you try second one i did mention which done by shamiko and pixel ims app?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I believe @Jwtiyar is speaking to you OP/ @qwe654 -- as I never needed to get 5G working for me here in the US on Verizon's network -- and my post he is quoting was in response to the below quoted post to qwe654. (tagging/mentioning you both so you guys are alerted to each other about it)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinn18:
At first when I'm using FB, YouTube and Online banking apps the phone will restart automatically, Its annoying so i tried to search what i can do to fix this, now i find that one of the method is to factory reset the phone now after i factory reset the phone the phone started to BootLoop. I tried searching how to flash a stock rom to my phone but there's so many errors like "error s_timeout (1042), (0xc0010001) and many others" i download all necessary drivers and files but im not sure what's goin on. One of the forum that i posted this issue said its easy to flash custom rom instead of flashing stock rom but im still not sure how to that. Please help me, I already had back up my pictures in this phone so i dont care if its gonna be totally wipe out, all i need that this device work again. pleae help me with complete step by step and links hope someone out there can help me

ÓMine was like this, I also took it to a technician, it was a capacitor on top of the battery that regulated the power to the board.
[Google Pixel 5a] MrPolite:
I'm ready to install but I don't expect it to be better or as smooth as LOS 20.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
I've used the stock firmware the whole time and did the 14 upgrade right away in the first week of October. I don't notice any real difference compared to the month before. I use the Nova launcher, disable the assistant app, and set Firefox as my default browser. So wouldn't see any changes in those stock functions that I've hidden.

My biggest gripe continues from 13 to 14, which is just that the stock Phone app visual voicemail feature is constantly "not working" or "activating" and never just shows a fully functional state with the Mint MVNO on T-Mobile USA. It halfway works, with voicemails showing up that I can listen to, but I get double notifications and have to call the voicemail number to clear them.

I can't compare to LineageOS because I never used that.
[Google Pixel 5a] MrPolite:
I use Mint also. And I've never seen a visual voice mail either, having used Lineage since the very first day of owning the phone, two years ago.
[Google Pixel 5a] MrPolite:
I've failed in trying to install Android 14 from the downloaded factory image. Not a big deal.

Edit: Looks like I tried sideloading the wrong image as I wasn't using the OTA zip! I may give it another shot at some point.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lsander:
If you use SD card only for backup or flashing roms etc. like me than this will be useful for you.

Why:

When you copy files to SD card folders get doubled in photos f.ex. This is pretty annoying, at least for me so better to keep unmounted SD card. But to go settings-storage-sdcard-unmount is too much work.

Script can be added on Franco kernel and put as a QS tile.

Should work on Android 6+, works fine on a14 which I'm using now.

- set on boot in fkm to unmount SD on boot

-put a tile for fast and easy mount/unmount SD card

Mine is idea for making this.

Chat GPT made a job of creating it from commands.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] XY5G1F6tOV:
Thank you very much! I googled for long time how to programmically mount external SD card and this was very useful.

TB128FU_RF01_230905

Lenovo TB128FU

However I am struggling with unlocking the bootloader.

It fails for me at

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

- The device is showing under "fastboot devices"

- also the ADB interface is listing in device manager while being in bootloader

- also tested with platform-tools_r34.0.3-windows

- tested LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.47

- tested usb_driver_r13-windows

- tested UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi

Any ideas?

Also once unlocked, I assume I can just install GSI roms? Eg. official stock google?

Subscribing to this thread though I have the TB128XU

Found you need to use a site zui.com/iunlock but won't recognise my IMEI to get the img to flash an unlock
[Thinkpad Tablet General] koloyang:
me too,

I'm in Taiwan also no way to get that .img
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Lapecium:
Same boat here. Seems that Lenovo decided to screw the global customers and ditched the unlock function on the T128FU.

The original xiaoxin pad 22 understands all fastboot commands as it should.

i am tempted to try to restore an original ZUI rom via RSA and see if fastboot commands are working, but it seems this is a soft-brick 100%...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gvidd:
Same here. Other commands like "fastboot oem unlock" don't work either, so it seems they have indeed ditched the unlock function...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RealStickman:
Guess I'm also having this issue.

I did manage to download the sn.img by using the direct link (https://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/[Serial Number]/sn.img)

But the device seems to be missing an unlock partition :/

$ fastboot flash unlock sn.img
Warning: skip copying unlock image avb footer (unlock partition size: 0, unlock image size: 5386).
Sending 'unlock' (5 KB) OKAY [ 0.004s]

Guess I'll return the device if I can't get it working within the next few days and buy the Xiaoxin version from Aliexpress.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toolpost:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] RealStickman:
I gave up and bought a Xiaoxin Pad 2022 from Aliexpress.

Exact same tablet, just bootloader unlocked and flashed with the global ROM by the seller.

Bootloader was still unlocked on mine, but even if it isn't, it's at least possible for certain.

Thanks for the response. Intersting to know they sell such a version in AliExpress. How did the vendor unlocked it!?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Mord0rr:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-lenovo-tab-m10-plus/
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RealStickman:
The tablets from Aliexpress are a different version specifically made for the chinese market. Not sure it it's a requirement, but other manufacturers also offer china-specific versions with bootloader unlocking.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RealStickman:
That doesn't help at all. You can't install TWRP with a locked bootloader.

The linked bootloader unlock relies on the ZUI site, which doesn't always work. Even if you get the unlock file somehow like I did, it might still be impossible to unlock the bootloader due to missing commands.
