[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Replacing the battery yourself is not difficult, although it requires gently opening the back cover after heating it with a hair dryer.

Understandably, Samsung does not state the consequences of disabling the Knox. Surely the biggest problem then is camera and modem operation. If this has any effect on deep sleep, I can't answer, because I haven't researched the issue.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abraxasDP:
Hi all,

I have a RPi4 4GB version and I'm using (among other OS releases) a LineageOS 20 Android TV version. Everything worked as expected until recently, when I have switched to a new case, a GeeekPi NAS case with M.2 support. My Android TV cannot connect to the WiFi anymore. That case is a metal case with acrylic top and it seems that this metal is weakening the connection, but only in android builds. None of the Android TV builds I have (18.1, 19.1, and 20.0) are able to connect to my home network. The network is sometimes visible, sometimes disappears from the list. The same is happening with the "regular" android (AOSP13 build). If I take the whole assembly out of the case, I have a connection all the time.

The reason I'm asking for help here and not on the case manufacturer's forum/site is the fact that ALL other OS releases (Batocera, RetroPie, OSMC, LibreELEC, and Raspberry PI OS) are establishing the WiFi connection without any issues while the entire assembly is in the case.

Is it possible to improve the signal strength in the android OS itself? Do I have to get the USB WiFi? If so, what are the recommendations that work with these Android builds?

Thanks in advance :)
[Introductions] eudoxus:
Hi, Everyone

Thanks for letting me into the XDA community.

My experiences with IT have been in other areas and I have limited exposure to smartphones or Android as a programming language. Thanks to information I found as a visitor on XDA I did successfully Odin/root a custom kernel onto an old Samsung Galaxy. Other than this my only experience has been following trivial textbook examples to test state changes, trigger notifications and so on.

My main interest currently lies in the possible use of the smartphone simply as a mobile linux device (i.e., cross-compile executables to run on the linux platform level but still selectively trigger some application framework functionality such as notification, camera input, screen output and so on).

I currently lack the ability to assess the level of difficulty involved/likelihood of success. However, I myself would be willing to sacrifice the GUI aesthetics and some degree of application framework functionality to code only in C and make linux system and application framework calls from the linux platform.

Meanwhile I look forward to learning from those more experienced than myself and passing whatever assistance I can to others.

Best regards, E

Good afternoon,

First sorry for the bad English, but only speak Portuguese.

I bought a Touch Pro and it does not work on network 850mhz, 900mhz only in network. Its change it?

I seen that it is possible for the Diamond.

If possible, can someone help me?

Grateful
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alfredob1:
Where did you buy the phone from?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] teddyonair:
are you talking about voice voice call 850mhz? if it is, touch pro should be able to handle 850mhz.

but if you are talking about 3G 850mhz, i think only the US version supports it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AllTheWay:
If you are looking for the 850mhz 3G band then I would buy the HTC Fuze from at&t in the United States. I believe you should be able to purchase one for $500 without a contract. Given that you are in Portugal and on the Euro that would be about 355.40 Euros

I don't know if they ship the phone internationally but it's worth a try at least.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=HTC+FUZE%28TM%29&q_sku=sku3090226

I'm sure you could also find a unlocked HTC Fuze on e-bay as well.

Can you return the Touch Pro?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Fred Flintstones:
Thanks for your help.

I am here in Brazil and have 2 3G networks, a 850mhz and a 2100mhz. The same operator has the two networks, depends on the state. In my state is 850mhz, in the neighboring state is 2100mhz. How much need the travel unit with the 2 bands.

It would be possible to change the ROM him to work on both bands?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AllTheWay:
I wish it were that easy. As far as I know and unless there has been some break through that I don't know about it I don't think it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Used patched ODIN to flash W to U1. Flash completed "PASS", but phone appears to be totally bricked. Any ideas on how to revive it?

I have about 10 phones like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
You did 9 more phones before noticing that the first one was bricked...?

What exactly do you mean by "appears to be totally bricked"? You need to give details about what shows on the screen or what happens when you press buttons etc
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Unfortunately I wasn't the one who did the flashing, just trying to clean up the mess. Nothing shows on the screen, is not recognized by PC. Tried holding every combination of buttons to maybe get some kind of EDL mode. Nothing. They do not respond to being charged, they are literally bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Also to add, the flash files are good because we have used them for U to U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
I think there's something that person is not telling you. I've never heard of that happening with any firmware conversion amongst W, U, and U1 models.

It's also basically impossible to permanently brick a Qualcomm device, to where you can't even get EDL mode
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
What would be the correct combination to enter EDL mode? I had a phone act like this in the past, and then randomly it decided to actually boot into EDL mode. Is there some type of protection that may make the phone act like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
Standard EDL procedure requires an EDL cable
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
I have 2 EDL cables, but cannot seem to get them to work. I am having to use an adapter for USB C, but that shouldn't matter right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, it absolutely can matter.

Proper procedure to put it in EDL mode is:

With the device off and the cable already plugged into the PC, hold the button on the EDL cable while you plug it into the phone, and then at the same time on the phone, press both of the Volume buttons together 4 or 5 times, and then release the EDL button. Then watch for the Qualcomm port to appear, in Windows Device Manager
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Nothing, so maybe the adapter is causing the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
Putting it in EDL mode isn't going to do you any good because you (highly likely) don't have the necessary files anyways.

You were the first one to mention you couldn't get it into EDL mode so I was merely informing you of what the proper procedure is
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Well the good news is, I was able to get one into EDL mode, but it appears the the cable is for chinese manufacter and doesn't auto recognize samsung, and you are correct I do not have the programmer files. Can you point me in the direction to these files? I am using Chimera
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
They've never been publicly shared/leaked. Also, you definitely need to have the Qualcomm drivers installed, in order for the PC to correctly detect the phone while it's in EDL mode
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
Is there anyway to extract what is needed from a working unit?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] iBowToAndroid:
Don't you think someone would have thought of that already...?

And even if that were doable, extraction would require root, which isn't possible on North American devices
[Samsung Galaxy S23] yygemmi770:
That is a good point.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Varin66:
Hi, I did the same and my phone is in the same situation. If you find any solution to it, please let me know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] LahSadzik:
I did the same mistake and bricked mine. Anyone figure out method to unbrick?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] matti88:
Is it recognized in EDL mode when plugged into a PC?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] bscaine:
Hi, for those in this problem you need the DEBUG files for your set. They are not free though. You can google search. I manage to get for the S911U (wich is good for the S911W) This DEGUB files put your device in download mode again and let you flash the original firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] matti88:
For those curious, the correct term (for searching purposes) is DEBUG
[Samsung Galaxy S23] guyz_ahead:
Can anyone guide me. Both the free and the paid option. Also how to DEBUG. I really am stuck and need to get out of this problem. Very hard earned money. Can't take it to the service center now because someone from canada brought me this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] guyz_ahead:
Sir please help. Really need proper guide to unbrick the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] matti88:
Does your phone go into EDL mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] guyz_ahead:
Not tried, dont have an edl cable
[Samsung Galaxy S23] matti88:
You don't need one. If it's bricked, it may enter EDL mode on its own. So install the Qualcomm drivers on a Windows PC, plug in the device via USB, and see if it's detected
[Samsung Galaxy S23] guyz_ahead:
No it's not going into the edl boot automatically. I think need a cable. Have ordered one
[Samsung Galaxy S23] guyz_ahead:

[General Questions and Answers] nettasteinberg:
Hello,

During the initial setup of Teclast T40 Air, I was locked out. Now I have a lock screen that I don't have the password to, so I don't have a way to use my tablet.

Since it was an initial setup, I don't have any information I need to recover, so I want to do a factory reset. I tried to follow the steps mentioned here (I figured the T40 shouldn't be that different from the T40 Air), but I can't seem to get to the 4th step ("Let go of Volume Down when the Recovery Mode pops up") because the Recovery Mode doesn't pops up.

Anyone knows what can I do? is there any other way to get to the Recovery Mode?

[Windows 11] vangry2020:
Make sure WSA is turned off before attempting to backup or restore.

If it still doesn't work I suggest you report it to wsatools developer.

WSA-Tray-Helper is hardcoded to backup the entire folder so the user doesn't run into an issue when userdata.vhdx gets renamed. This might need changing depending on user feedback however haven't received any.
[Windows 11] dimu345:
WHAT it just needed to be turned off?????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOST SO MUCH TIME WITH THIS

Is there a way I can adapt this to work with an htc U11+ that I bricked while trying to list a folder while copying & pasting another folder (that doofus move also rebooted my Win11Pro system)? The U11+ will not power up with an extended press of either the Power button or the Power & Volume+ key combo.

I'd like to connect to the USB port and complete my backup, but I'd settle for Factory Reset.

Hey all. New 2023 Edge + user here.(retus)

T1TR33.43-48-35 update thats just over 200 megs is available for me to install.

Does anyone know if it's possible to extract init_boot from these OTA updates so I can patch it and root again?

I checked lolinet and it seems to only have full images but not this latest update.

Just looking for advice on how to retain root while continuing to install OTA updates on this phone.

Thanks
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] V0latyle:
Once the update is downloaded to your device, you should be able to use Payload Dumper to extract the init_boot and patch it.

Also, Magisk 26.2 incorporates the ability to do this natively.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] bacon612:
Updated to magisk 26.2. Restored images, took OTA, used magisk to install to inactive slot. Rebooted with the OTA and retained root. Thank you for the info. Much appreciated
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG_1988:
What do you mean by "restored images"? I haven't jumped onto Magisk 26.2 yet, so maybe that is why I don't understand the terminology.

If you have time, a short step-by-step tutorial would help others who come across this thread I am sure.

im trying to find a file; its the internetportal.xml that allows me to edit the tf3d browser.

ive tried to find it on my pc, and in total commander, with no luck. ive tried to look in the application data folder but there is no manila folder.

im using swift 5.6 rom & ive used config editors and i did remove the internet tab at one point, would that have played any part? the tab is back & working now so i guess not?

if anyone can tell me where that file is, or what it could be named under, i#d be extermely grateful.

thank you, merry xmas and happy new year to all

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Hey guys. Using stock dialler on my pixel but it's missing essential features. I've installed the beta, uninstalled updates and started fresh,cleared cache, restarted etc and I still don't have hold for me which is now available in the UK. I do have root so if there anything I can do to force an update? I have Gapps but it hasn't been updated since May.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
You can try this: https://github.com/jacopotediosi/GAppsMod
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I have tried as mentioned but unfortunately its not been updated for months. This feature has rolled out in the last two weeks here and I cannot activate it for love nor money
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Oh that's what you meant by "Gapps", ok. You could send a request tho...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I might try that thank you.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I've seen it mentioned in recent days that people in the UK were reporting that they were finally getting the "Hold for Me' feature with Phone app version 113.0.559559438-publicbeta-pixel2022.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Yeah that's the beta I'm on at the moment but I can't even get call screening to show up which is a default feature by now even with help from GApps which makes.me think something is up. Pretty frustrating,feels like I need to uninstall the dialler app and start again but I did that and nothing changed. Any other pointers would be very welcome.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
All I can think of is maybe clear the app's cache and force close the app, then reopen it and go to the 3 dot menu/settings and see if it appears, if you haven't already.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I've done all that unfortunately. Thanks though
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
One other possibility (that I can think of) is that maybe it involves a server side update. Anyway, good luck.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
If you want the hold for me and direct my call i don't think gappsmod enables them but pixelfy does. Just be careful what you install with it and only pick what you need from the instslller
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Bumping this up again on the off-chance anyone has any idea how to enable hold for me. I'm on the latest build and still nothing. Do you need google assistant enabled for it to work?

Edit: I've just noticed I don't have clear calling in my settings either. Would that be part of the same issue?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
It most likely has something to do with you using GApps or GAppsMod. Those of us that are on stock ROM not using those are able to have it -- might be different as I/we are in the U.S.. But if there are statements (as shown in this thread) where others are able to have it, then most likely it's an "either/or" type situation where you have to choose between this feature or GApps/GAppsMod.

For what it's worth, I do have Google Assistant enabled on my setup. I believe there also is some kind of carrier activation that must happen to get clear calling and these Dialer features (like getting RCS to work in Google Messages). Maybe there is a hiccup there for you...

I have to admit it is kind of nice to have Hold For Me that I wish it would work on more than 800/888 numbers and on regular numbers (holding for medical/dentists and individual offices would really be great because they put you on hold for a long time)! You have to also be prepared for it to confuse the heck out of operators though, as they start talking and are very confused when Google Assistant to them and everything...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Thank you for the reply. Yes you're probably right, all the features I want are now on my partners stock phone here in the UK so maybe i need to revert Gapps and start from scratch. I have had clear calling in the past so the fact its missing is making me wonder.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mccbrandon:
