[General Questions and Answers] DRR1210:
So I just got myself the Galaxy S9 ultra recently. I’m not too familiar with what is involved with rooting, flashing, boot loading ect. I was wondering, would there be any way of getting microg on the S9 ultra while still keeping OTA updates? Ideally I would want as little complication as possible. All I really want is to be able to de-google my tablet and uninstall bloatware. I don’t really want anything else really. I know this is probably somewhat complicated just because it is a relatively new tablet, and Samsung also has Knox. From what I understand though, at the bare minimum you would need to unlock the devices bootloader, to even start doing anything involved with this.
[General Questions and Answers] DRR1210:
Ok so then would would be involved in me doing this?

Also would I still be able to get OTA updates?
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
What OTA updates? S9 is 5 years old, Samsung offers 4 years of software support. Latest security patch for it is March 2023 and it is never getting updates unless you use a custom ROM.

I forgot the S9 is also a tablet. No OTA updates on rooted/unlocked devices, but you can manually update with Odin.
[General Questions and Answers] DRR1210:
If it were upto me I would just install a custom OS. But as far as I know, there are none that support the S9 Ultra as of yet. Again though, what would I need to do to get Minmicrog on? Don’t I need to at the very least have my bootloader unlocked?
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
I don't know if the stock rom supports signature spoofing.

If it does, keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader will break Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass. Other KNOX apps (such as Secure Folder and Samsung Health) work if you use the LSPosed KnoxPatch.

[General Questions and Answers] DRR1210:
I don’t really care about any Samsung apps other than Dex, and Samsung Notes. The problem is, I don’t know of any rom that is supported for the S9 Ultra. Like all the custom roms I know of don’t support my device ie like lineage OS ect. So flashing a custom rom Atleast as of right now seems to be a no go. I did read somewhere that I think it might be possible to flash a generic rom for my device that may support signature spoofing but I’m not sure. Also I’ve heard the name TWRP thrown around for entering boot recovery. What is it and is it like a program I download? Again forgive me I’m very much piecing all of this together as best I can.
[General Questions and Answers] DRR1210:
Does anyone happen to know of a custom rom that works or will flash on the S9 ultra? I haven’t been able to find one as of yet.

Ever since the oos12 upgrade, the *#*#5646#*$* code doesn't work. Does anyone know about the new code?
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hello!

Please tell me.

Pixel 8 was also released in Japan. Until now, it was sold through carriers such as KDDI and SoftBank, but Pixel 8 was also sold by NTT Docomo.

The 5G band of the Pixel 7 I own does not include the N79. (Because it is a band unique to Japan)

Is it possible to write the baseband?modem? of Pixel 8 to Pixel 7?

How can I write? I want to know.

Thank you for your support.
[Google Pixel 7] Starbomba:
Haven't tried on a Pixel 7 or 8, but on my old Pixel XL, you could just flash the Radio from other stock ROM to enable other bands (my Pixel XL was Verizon and flashed global/Google version).

I also did something similar on my Sony Docomo SO-04E, to clear some NA bands, so i flashed a Sony XR modem onto it.

However, i doubt crossflashing will work, especially since AFAIK both Pixel 7 and 8 have different modems, but at best you can always flash back.

Again, haven't tried myself, so do it on your own risk.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

thank you.

i will try.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

I tried writing radio~.img from Pixel7a to Pixel7, but it didn't work in the end.

How can I add bands to Pixel 7?

I don't know because I can't see the band installed on the device itself.

I followed the instructions on how to use Diag mode, but in the end I couldn't do it.

Help me.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I don't know anything about non-US bands (n79), so I'm not sure if my suggestion works (I'm hoping expert[s] can chime in)...

But would any of the modules that enable 5G for devices that is in a country that Google doesn't support on a device where the band isn't listed as one it connects to?
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
All regional device info, imei number, device color ..etc are all written in the /devinfo partition. I'm not sure if radio preferences are defined there as well.

Before you tinker with the deviceinfo partition, make sure you make a backup. If you mess it up without a backup image you may never be able to restore it.

You can also modify the device variant and imei using a hex editor. I've done that before on my revious pixel 6 and managed to make it a Japanese variant before. Please be careful with the devinfo partition.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

Thank you.

Accessing devinfo requires rooting, right?

How can I access it?
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
You should be warned that flashing random modems can leave your phone unusable. If you corrupt your EFS, Persist, etc. Then you could lose your imei, serial, all of it. You need working backups. Another thing to consider is revision. If you flash a modem with a higher revision than your current revision, you won't be able to flash anything with a lower revision. So you may be left with an unusable phone until and if an update comes along with the same or higher revision. Bootloaders are the same, it's part of Android's anti-rollback. Typically you can flash within the same revision or higher, but you can't rollback.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
hello!

Thank you.

I understand that I am doing this despite the risks.

However, I really want to add the 5G band n79 to the Japanese version of Pixel 7.

I am dissatisfied with the fact that it is not compatible with Pixel 7 and is compatible with Pixel 7a.

5G n79 is a band unique to Japan, but in Japan it is used by NTT Docomo, so it is difficult to connect to 5G without the Docomo band.

If possible, I would like to know how to add 5G band n79.

Please, help me.
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
I'm not 100% sure this will enable you access to the N79 band, but it's worth trying.

You can take a clue from this thread : https://xdaforums.com/t/converting-japanese-pixel-6-to-global-version.4365275/

You'll need to have an idea about the model number of the Japanese variant. According to phonemore.com, it's G03Z5.

Make more than one backup of your devinfo partition, to avoid any possibility of data corruption. Also, store the backups on your computer.

Reminder that you're solely responsible for anything that might happen to your phone.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

Thank you.

I'll check it out and give it a try.

I am aware of the risks, and I understand that if anything happens, it is my responsibility.

By the way,How can I backup the devinfo partition?

The model number of the Japanese version of Pixel 7 is definitely G03Z5.
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
The devinfo.img you're going to pull for the first time is the backup. Make you to make copies and rename it before editing it with a hex editor.
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

Understood.

Thank you very much for your detailed answers to my questions.

I think I'll try the challenge.
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
Good luck with that, keep us updated and let me know if you face any difficulties
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

In conclusion, I couldn't do it.

As expected, it is impossible to add a specific band.

Thank you for teaching me so much.
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
Did you try to reflash android using Android flash tool, after converting the device to japanese version?
[Google Pixel 7] TOSHIYUKI AOKI:
Hi!

The device I own is the Japanese version of Pixel 7 (G03Z5), so there is no need to convert it to Japanese.

I learned that it is impossible to add bands to it.
[Google Pixel 7] mohamed.sakhiri:
For some kind of reason, I thought you were trying to convert the pixel 7 (US) into the pixel 7 (JP) versions to get the heobased exclusive bands.

I read your post again, and no, if the Japanese Pixel 7 doesn't have it, you can't add it.

I recommend getting the Pixel 8 though, I upgraded, and it's a better experience considering the new design and body materials.
[General Questions and Answers] TopNotch729:
Hello everyone. Recently I found an old Ipod touch 2nd gen running IOS 4.2.1, turned it on and it worked great! Then randomly one day, it died and then wouldn't turn back on. All it would do is get to the apple logo, then die back to the low battery symbol. After hours of leaving it plugged in it finally booted into the 'connect to Itunes' screen. So I connected it to Itunes and tried to restore it, only to find this error message; "This iPod was previously in DFU mode, but restarted and is no longer in DFU mode. To restore this iPod from DFU mode, disconnect it and place it in DFU mode again." I tried 3utools, only to get another error message saying that it can't find the SHSH. It then proceeds to get stuck at 9 percent forcing me to stop reflashing IOS 4.2.1. Meanwhile when you try the "Itunes flash" option in 3utools, it'd just get to the ios update line and then it would say "connection refused" a bunch of times and fail. Nothing i have tried so far was able to touch this ipod in terms of unbricking it. I know there's something out there that can fix this, and ANY advice would be GREATLY appreciated at this point as I have been on this for a month now.

Thank you in advance.

Ipod diagnostics; IOS 4.2.1 - 2nd generation - NOT jailbroken - cannot boot into any sort of OS - It IS possible to boot into dfu mode -

[Touch HD General] vvw123:
Is it possible to never activate 3G or GPRS when I have WIFI on, (when I´m surfing for eample) regardless if I´m connected to a network or not?

It´s cost me a lot of money when I surf on the 3G.. So it´s not necessary when I´m close to a WIFI-network..

Regards!
[Touch HD General] Coude:
My HD (a stock one) always automatically use Wifi when it's available, and 3G/GPRS otherwise. I got this behavior from day one, without any specific tweak.
[Touch HD General] s1m:
Mine still uses GPRS or HSDPA sometimes when I am connected to wifi. Doesn't bother me though as I have unlimited web on my contract... I think its a bug
[Touch HD General] Cheeze[iT]:
why not turn of the data when your at home or what not? Its in the communications settings... that might help? temp fix but better than nothing.
[Touch HD General] s1m:
If I do that, it just turns it back on! I think it is because it is continuously checking for email...
[Touch HD General] agent003:
Same here.
[Touch HD General] ed.dark:
have you actually checked this with an app like spb gprs monitor?

When using Opera, I have to disconnect GPRS/EDGE in order for it to use WiFi. Internet Explorer seems to use the WiFi automatically when it is connected.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] mdbillal7:
I use unofficial orange fox recovery. It work properly on tapas. Now I need a castom rom. That is castom rom properly work on TAPAS
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Ronny Say:
There's no official recovery for this device. We all use unofficial and they work.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] mdbillal7:
Please suggestions tested or best working castom rom for Tapas ?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Ronny Say:
No such thing as best ROM". You have to try them out and see which suits your style, and personal tastes and preferences. I can however suggest MIUI Elite ROM if you want MIUI custom ROMs. And in AOSP ROMs, if you want good performance in gaming and whatever, use CrDroid. If you want customization surplus, use SuperiorOS Extended OFFICIAL, or maybe CherishOS.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Super_Pedro:
I agree completely. I am a MIUI lover, for me Elite rom is the best for this phone that I found. Only adding GCAM from the Brazilian web and everything working perfectly!

In AOSP, I tried past week SuperiorOS and looked great, but I suffered some bugs with the battery and random reboots... finally I came back to Elite, I can not live without some MIUI features!
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Ronny Say:
I came close to flashing Elite ROM but someone said sensors don't work in that ROM. So now I'm chilling in CherishOS. I really get it when you say you can't live without some MIUI features lol. Do you have problem with sensors on that ROM?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Super_Pedro:
No prob at all. Everything working perfectly.

I do understand that MIUI is not the smoothest rom, but it is more than enough for the use that I make from the phone.

If your device fails to comply with your standards of what you consider functioning, I am not liable. This is provided free of charge and does not come with a warranty. Although, if you provide a log, I can provide some sort of assurance that I will look into your issue.

You must have verity and verification disable to flash this for the time being!

To do so you will need to flash vbmeta.img using the command below followed by wiping the device.

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification

Best kernel you'll find. It was for the 7 and will be for the 8 🤘

Excellent job thank you. Your kernel and kernel flasher alpha 18 worked perfectly.

Always a "fearful eye squint" on rebooting after a very first kernel for a brand new pixel....

Your quality work deserves a big

---great thank you---

Edit1.. I had forgotten to say the power hint module flashing was the first thing done after kernel install.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
NOTE: For stable A14 builds, it is recommended to flash the powerhint.zip magisk module.

This will replace the stock powerhint with the one from the QPR beta to match the changes in the kernel.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
I have 2.03 which is the stable build currently, with 2.04 I am testing some frequency changes. The powerhint-boost sets pelt multiplier to 2 when screen is on and back to 1 when it is off. The other powerhint is meant to be used with 2.03 and 2.04 as it adds some stuff from QPR2 that are required for the kernel to take advantage of the new changes added from QPR22 beta 3.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] pileot:
I'm having a strange issue where if I disable airplane mode my screen goes black and I can't use my phone. Restarting doesn't seem to help. Safe mode resets airplane mode and my phone works again until I disable airplane mode and the problem repeats. Still on the December update and 2.02, gonna try updating to see if the problem gets resolved but if anyone can shed some light on the issue I'd be grateful.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CrAzY_CbR:
I think this has nothing to do with this kernel

Back up and reset the phone with factory image.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] avaue:
Hi, I tried to compile aosp and kernel on husky but stuck in a boot loop. And I tried to combine Despair-V2.04 with compiled aosp which can successfully boot so I guess there is something wrong with my kernel build.

The kernel branch I compiled is android-gs-shusky-5.15-android14-d1. After repo sync, I compile it with BUILD_AOSP_KERNEL=1 ./build_shusky.sh, and the artifact is placed at out/shusky/dist.

And the way I flash the kernel is as follows:

fastboot oem disable-verification
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_kernel_boot vendor_kernel_boot.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash vendor_dlkm vendor_dlkm.img
fastboot flash system_dlkm system_dlkm.img

I wonder if my ways to build kernel are wrong or if something I missed which is also unmentioned in official build instruction. May I get your manifest xml for repo init which builds Despair-V2.04?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Face_Plant:
Is v2.05 not compatible with the January update? After installing the January update and v2.05, it boots straight to bootloader with the reason "boot failure". It was fine with the December update and v2.02.
