[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] SamsungSucker:
Yeah so the consequences are you raise some flags in the phones firmware if you don't do it right and void your warranty as far as I know. What does the home CSC file do and why would flashing an extra file mean you don't lose your data? If I flash a newer rom my files should still be there like flashing a custom rom without wiping the partitions in twrp. I mean the four check boxes in odin to select the partitions not the other settings and I think I didn't tick the last box for the partitions. Thanks heaps man. When I try turn the phone off with a hard reset by holding volume down and power the screen turns off and then turns on again on the same update failed to install screen which is a similar colour to the downloads screen.any idea why twrp said failed when it recognised my phone? Did I need to enable ADB in developer settings or is that automatic after enabling developer settings now? Thanks bro

I think I have the Snapdragon S10 but I'm not 100% which sucks will it break it more if I try flash the Exynos S10 files?

I had a htc HD2 a Sony z2 and a htc one so they're pretty old.

Hey oswald sorry about the f word I thought it was just normal language and didnt really think about it. I'll do my best to use another word is Frick alright? Thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
That won't certainly trigger the swear filter but I'm convinced the English language (as the language of Shakepear) provides other and very good ways to express yourself - although I'm not a native English tongue.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] SamsungSucker:
My mum always said stupid people use swear words to express themselves I guess but you're kinda derailing my thread here man couldn't you send a PM?

Do you have something to add like some relevant help? I assume you know your stuff seeing as you frequent this site a lot? ;).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] SamsungSucker:
Bump
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] RandomHelper:
I'll go through your message one by one.

If you flash the normal CSC file or don't flash it at all, it gives a signal to the stock recovery mode to reset all your Userdata. If you flash the HOME_CSC file instead, your phone doesn't do that. Don't ask me what kind of black magic Samsung put into those files, I only know what effect they had for me.

As long as you flash the HOME_CSC file in the CSC slot, your data should stay on your phone.

The color is not just similar to the one used for Odin mode, it is the color used in Odin mode. It is Odin mode with the difference that it looks different.

You said you didn't unlock your phone's bootloader? That's the easiest explanation I can think of. And no, ADB is for a running Android system only, it doesn't have anything to do with neither Odin nor recovery mode, "Allow OEM Unlocking" does.

To find out what kind of phone you have, you should head over to the actual Odin mode and take a good look at all the text it throws at you. You're looking for a model number, it looks like this: SM-G973X where X is some letter. If X is F, you got the international/Exynos version of the phone, if X is U it's the US version of the phone, meaning it probably is a Snapdragon chipset.

It won't break your phone any more than it already is, I think. Worst case scenario I've seen is a soft-brick like you got right now. I've read on the internet that a wrong firmware can also hard-brick a phone, but I have never seen or experienced that.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
Sure, I could have sent you a PM but you can be convienced that I precisely decide when to go for a private message and when to make a public service announcement.

And if you check rule no. 5 of the forum rules, which I've linked in post #6, you'll see that you're allowed to bump once every 24 hours and not already after 12 hours!

Respectfully

[FYT Android Head Units] Stef85:
Hi All

I’m sure there are many smart people with a lot of skills and that’s why the best would be to ask here.

I have an Android 10 head unit with a few problems and maybe someone will know how to solve it.

The first problem with the brightness. as you can see in the pictures is very weak and during the day I can’t see much especially if direct sunlight hits it.

Anyway, to fix it? tweak it? I’ll lights on of doesn’t affect it.

Also on pictures from brightness while I’m changing both cursors doesn’t have an effect and doesn’t do anything

I tried several apps no improvement.

Any idea?

The second problem volume bar doesn’t work with my volume knob.

Is that canbus problem?

Thanks in advance. hope someone can help!!!

Hello everyone, I need help with my equinox S22 Plus, it turns out that I bought the phone second hand without being able to check everything and now I see that I can't connect the SIM in the SIM1 tray, it can't register on the network but on SIM2 it works fine, I did a network reset, factory but it's still the same.

Ah, you see it seems difficult to maintain two AOSP versions.

I've already allocated 500GB of disk space for this project.

It's just something I made for my personal use. I've already opened up the device tree, and building a LineageOS version from it isn't difficult.

I hope that someone else might be willing to take this on. :)

Hey I'm looking to install a custom rom or at least root my phone does anyone have any ideas or know where I could find a guide to install a custom rom on this phone? It would be a good phone to make one for becsude it's the cheapest throwaway phone you can get at the shops which isn't micro USB or really bad.

I have not been able to update to 2.0.3. I have tried everything I could think of i mean I have good internet connection, plenty of storage, tried side loading, I'm not rooted, even locked the boot-loader and still can't get my phone updated. What could the solution be?
[Nothing Phone 2] boontje3:
try what they say here https://www.androidsage.com/2023/08/04/download-nothing-os-2-0-2-update-for-phone-2-huge-update/

, I also did it this way to go to 2.03

Install OTA using Local Upgrade method​

Create a folder named “ota” (without the quotes) at the root of the internal storage. Meaning outside every folder.

Copy the OTA update ZIP file from above to that folder.

Open the phone app and Dial *#*#682#*#*

This should launch an offline update tool.

The tool will scan for an OTA file from internal storage and install it.

If that fails, you can manually browse for the OTA package.

After selecting the OTA file, the wizard will apply the update.

Reboot the device and you are on the latest firmware.

Finally the Superfans Program is available in the UK. I'm quite excited. I wonder what was their reasoning behind sending the invitations. My husband got it as well, but we always buy phones together, anyway.

Question to the other Superfans, I guess from the US or Canada - What are the benefits?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] goattee:
I'm one in the US. I'll be interested to learn what the others say. Because so far it's been promo emails and small discounts offered on the store before Pixel 8, etc. got announced. (Clearing inventory perhaps?)

But maybe someday now or in the past there might be / have been more generous benefits.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] robbbzilla:
I really couldn't say besides a few promotional emails from time to time.

Google needs to actually make it a program that has benefits or even a community resource.

So far I haven't seen much?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MrBelter:
They want that much information off me they can keep it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JamesChicagoIL:
That's awesome, congrats! I'm in the US, and as a Superfan, you can expect some cool perks, like exclusive events, early access to products, and a chance to give feedback directly to Google.

[Android TV General] dmartins90:
Hi everyone, I hope you are well. Well, I have a problem that started on Android 12 but I don't know if it's on all Android 12 or on this T95max Android 12 TV box with Alwinner H618 chipset.

It turns out that since versions 6,7,8,9,10 and 11 I have been able to make my application or any other application go up automatically when the Android system is started, either in my application or using a third party application that does this by choosing another application to go up alone if the android turns off and on.

But in this version 12 I can't do it at all. Is it some blocking or different way that Google did? or a problem with this firmware that won't let you? Does anyone know how to get around this?

Thank you very much.

[General Questions and Answers] Marko075:
I have a couple of Huawei P20 Lite that were decommissioned last year, gave a few away, sold a few but still have a couple of them. I got an idea to leave a few here and there in public with different levels of information present on the phone to see how many of them find a way back to me. Fun!

I don't want to just leave them and hope for the best. I wish to monitor the phones. I would like to monitor the following:

Battery level - if it gets too low I would like to go and pick it up, charge it then put it in another location.

GPS Location - if somebody did took the phone and discarded it somewhere I would like to retrieve it (if somebody did took the phone and kept it I do not plan to go and confront the person for a $50 phone).

Phone screen recording / screenshots - to see if they are making an attempt to find out the information about the owner, trying to steal information or something in between. (I will have fake profiles on different social networks that are logged in, notes with login information to other websites, etc.). if that's not possible then maybe a keylogger and/or tap logger (if there is such a thing) so I can at least reconstruct what they are doing (I will keep one phone with identical configuration).

Another requirement is that the app that monitors the phone is hidden from regular users and it should not give notification that this app is using too much battery (like Life360 app does for example). I've tried some apps on the app store but they don't show phone screen and show the battery warning and they cannot be hidden.

I can root the phones if it is an a requirement. I'm OK if they reset the phone since they are gonna use it or sell it which is fine so the tracking does not need to survive phone reset.

Are there any apps / solutions out there that matches my needs? It does not have to be free, I can pay if not too expensive.

I don't change phones too often and thought that an option to replicate app, once it was introduced long time ago, it would be so important feature that it will be a standard.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Alex2008Ex:
Hello everyone,

My ROG 5 has been unlocked and rooted for a while now but it seems that after Asus decided to stop publishing kernel sources and unlock tools, they also stopped publishing new OTAs so I'm now stuck on WW_33.0210.0210.221.

I know some people were able to get new OTAs or incremental OTAs so I have a question for the persons that were able to get it: Where did y'all find them and how can I get them myself in the future? Do I need a phone that was never unlocked to dump the downloaded OTAs? I hope not

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptstr:
Hello,

I got the following phone Moto G Pure 2021 . It has an Android 11 installed.

After few days of working, the phone seems to get a little slow, some apps are slow to respond or would show the message "app X is not responding" or some apps might crash.

Restarting the phone fixes these issues, but I'm trying to avoid doing a full restart (either through the physical power button or power tools app restart/shutdown options) - Is there a way to do a soft restart or something that would clear the phone memory/processor so apps operate in a clean way (like after a restart) without the need to actually restart the phone? Is there an app or a setting function that could achieve that?

Thank you.

P.S.

I found this:

Soft restarts | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

But not sure if and how it can be used.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
I could be mistaken, but you might be thinking of terms of a Hot Reboot.

The theory of a hot reboot, also known as a live restart, is a process of restarting the system without interrupting any active connections or processes. This is in contrast to a cold reboot, which involves turning the power off and back on, which will terminate all active connections and processes.

The command setprop ctl.restart zygote is used to restart the Zygote process on Android

adb shell setprop ctl.restart zygote

It's usefulness extends to:

An application has crashed and needs to be restarted.

Or​

A new software update has been installed and needs to be activated.

Or​

The Android system is experiencing problems and needs to be refreshed.

I don't know if you are rooted, but root is required to restart the Zygote process using that command.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptstr:
Thanks, I'm not rooted so it's probably not an option.

Someone told me: "You can do adb shell stop followed by adb shell start. This will restart all zygote based processes." - Do you think it's legit or it's too invasive to run this as it could close everything?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
In your OP you asked:

You do not need to root your device to run the adb shell service restart zygote command

The commands adb shell stop followed by adb shell start can be used to restart a specific app not zygote.

adb shell stop <package name>
adb shell start <package name>
